Cat Sitting in Paonia

“I've booked Suzanne twice now--she's an excellent, communicative, and caring sitter. It's so nice to know that your pet is in good hands while you're away. I highly recommend Suzanne to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Megan took great care of my dog while I was away. Very happy with communication and attention to the pet. No issues/complaints, would recommend & use again in the future.”

About: I have always loved animals and have been surrounded by animals since I was born. I have lived with many different types of dogs and have been pet-sitting dogs for the past ten years. I had a cavoodle growing up who we took to puppy school and trained and have lived with friends who have gone through training with their dogs. I have always helped take care of animals who are older and need more support. I love taking care of animals and feel so at home around them. I am starting an online Master of Social Work program this fall and do remote part-time contract work also. At the moment all of my work is online so I am very flexible and able to be around to petsit and housesit. I am an incredibly trustworthy and reliable person and am very communicative. In someone else's home I will be sure to check in about your pets regular routine, things to look out for or be aware of and will always keep an eye on them. I have been petsitting for a long time and know that every animal is different so being sure to understand their normal daily routine is important. I grew up above a Bed and Breakfast run by my Mum so I have high cleaning standards and know how to respect someone's home.

“Jess was amazing. From the meet and greet to the four days she cared for our dog and two cats everything went smoothly. Jess is a great communicator and took good care of our animals. Highly recommend!”

“Marie is fantastic. She came by to meet Jasper before our scheduled drop in days and really took the time to get acquainted with him. She is extremely responsive and trustworthy..and also a dog whisperer! She sends updates and pictures and loves taking Jasper on adventures. I highly recommend Marie.”

“I highly recommend Clarissa as a highly-qualified, caring, fabulous and reliable dog sitter. She has been dog sitting our Ella (13 year old Border Collie) several times now and we feel very comfortable leaving Ella with her. And, best of all - Ella feels very comfortable with Clarissa! Clarissa is mature, competent, responsible and a great communicator. She stays in touch with us on a regular basis when we are away and she let's us know how Ella is doing. I love getting pictures of Ella while we're gone and I can tell Ella is happy.”

“Nathan is very caring, friendly, and responsible and is excellent with dogs of all shapes and sizes. He has taken great care of my dog on multiple occasions-- she gets so excited whenever she sees him! He is also a great communicator. I love getting updates from him (complete with pictures) when he's taking care of my dog. He really loves dogs, and it shows in how patient and sweet he is with them. I highly recommend him for all of your dog walking and sitting needs!”

“Tiffany did a great job in caring for our dog, she has excellent communication. Will use again!”

“Brianna not only would care for your pet as if it were her own, but go above and beyond to make sure your pet was safe. Great sense of knowledge with dog training and knows certain cues that would work for any breed. 100 percent recommend Brianna to take care of any pet. She is reliable, friendly, and has good vibe that all pets can sense.”

“Amanda is the best! She was so reliable, and has excellent communication through the whole process. She kept my kitty happy and visited her all week while I was out of town. 10 out of 10!”

“Kat is the most reliable pet sitter and walker I know. She has over a decade of experience working in the veterinary field. So if an emergency were to happen I trust her completely in knowing what is needed. From being a vet tech and beyond, Kat takes responsibility and takes extra consideration to the needs of pets and their humans. I can guarantee clear communication and all needs met with her. I've seen her walk with my dogs and she is grounded instilling confidence with my dogs when other dogs approach. Traveling without my furry babies is scary but with them under Kats care I know they're physically safe and more importantly loved as if I never left.”

“Alyse grew up on our family farm, working with and having fun with animals since she was small. She was in 4H thru her senior year, training her sweet dogs, Waylon and Daisy and training her calves. She loved working with her horse, Jack and competing in horse shows and rodeos. Alyse loves our kitties and has dog sat for others at our home and theirs with detailed instructions and cared for others horses at their property while they were gone for several days. Alyse is very detailed and loves her animals. She went to college for Wildlife Ecology and is enjoying working in this field. I think you will be very happy to have Alyse take care of your animals.”

“Mariana was great walking and playing with our pup Leela! We felt at ease knowing Leela was in great hands while we were out skiing. Will definitely book again!”

“Liz is a very attentive and knowledgeable animal owner and handler. She has a lifetime of experience caring for a variety of animals. She genuinely enjoys spending time with animals, and truly understands their preferences and behavior. With her active lifestyle, you can be sure that your four-legged friend will get the attention and stimulation they need to be happy and comfortable away from home. Her house has great accommodations for dogs of all sizes, giving them the room to play and explore while still maintaining a secure enclosure. As a dog owner herself, her love and empathy for critters carries over to other people's pets as well. I have left my miniature australian shepherd with her countless times over the years, and I always feel confident that he is in good hands. She is attentive to his needs and limitations, always inquiring upfront to make sure that she has the information to manage him well while I am away. Highly recommend!”

“So grateful for you caring for Tigger, Scrappy, and rest of the kittens.”

“I have used Macey as the pet sitter to my “girls” for several years. One of my cats needs a lot of attention and Macey gives her the love she needs to feel secure when we anre out of town for an extended period. Our other kitty is skittish and scared but Macey has won her over♥️. Macey is my go to pet sitter when we leave town. She does a great job with the basics such as food, water, litter box. The part that the animals really want, the attention, Macey is exceptional. I never worry when she is the human for our girls when we are not here!! I feel comforted to know I’m going to come home to happy kitties. Thank you Macey!!!”

“Wonderful, well energized person with a great love for all dogs! I would recommend Haley to any nervous first timer’s as she will prove to be dependable and responsible with your babies.”

“I recently had the pleasure of entrusting Marek with the care of my beloved dog, Max, who struggles with separation anxiety. From the moment I met Marek, I knew Max was in capable and caring hands. Marek's dedication and understanding of Max's needs exceeded my expectations, and I am immensely grateful for the peace of mind he provided during my time away. Marek's approach to caring for Max was truly exceptional. He took the time to get to know Max's personality, quirks, and triggers, ensuring a tailored experience that catered to Max's specific anxieties. His patience and empathy were evident in every interaction, as he worked tirelessly to build trust and comfort with Max. Throughout Max's stay with Marek, I received regular updates, including photos and videos, which not only reassured me of Max's well-being but also allowed me to feel connected despite being apart. Marek went above and beyond to engage Max in enriching activities, providing ample exercise, mental stimulation, and affection to keep Max happy and content. What truly sets Marek apart is his genuine passion for animals and his commitment to their welfare. He approached Max's care with the same level of dedication and love as if Max were his own furry companion. Marek's attention to detail, reliability, and professionalism further underscored his suitability as a trusted caregiver. Thanks to Marek's expert care, Max returned home relaxed, happy, and noticeably more confident. It's evident that Marek's influence had a positive and lasting impact on Max's well-being, and I couldn't be more grateful for the invaluable service he provided.”

“Andi was great! She was sensitive to our dogs needs, and did exactly what we wanted her to do. I will definitely ask her to come by again when NFR dog is alone at the house. Thank you, Andi!”

“We have been using Laura for the past 5 months to visit with our pups about 1-2 days/week. We have two high energy rescue dogs and Laura and Sam have done an amazing job with them. They even taught one of them to roll over:) Laura is reliable and is almost always available when we need her. I highly recommend her.”
