“Bev has taken care of our fur babies for a couple years now. We started with two elder dogs and soon just had the one. She is attentive and caring for our special needs girls. She is able to be here for them a majority of the time which was really helpful as they were aging. Our fur kiddos are part of our family and I feel at ease knowing Bev is here with them and will love them like they’re her own. 🥰 We highly recommend Bev, she’s amazing with our dogs.”
2. Chase H.
“Chase was awesome! The boys loved him and he left my yard better than what he found it. He sent photos and videos of the boys. If I was staying in Colorado I would book with him again.”
3. Ariel C.
“I don't even know where to begin with stating how happy I am with Ariel house sitting our dogs and geckos. First of all, she was very understanding and offered a refunded day without me asking when our flight was cancelled and we lost a day off our trip. Second of all, her communication is excellent. I am usually nervous about leaving my babies behind for a long trip but that was definitely not the case with Ariel- she even called right before our trip to touch base on final details. We received multiple updates and videos of the pets every day and honestly I felt like I was chatting with a good friend during my text updates :) Ariel will always be our first choice for house sitting!”
4. Michael C.
“Captain has watched our pup multiple times and taken her out. He has always been kind hearted and she is actually sad when he leaves!! He has stayed in our home and treated it with the utmost respect. Still trying to figure out what he eats.”
5. Tori S.
“Tori is a fantastic sitter! She is very prompt and courteous, and my dog had a really great time with her. I'll absolutely have Tori watch him again :)”
6. Brooke F.
“Brooke was an amazing buddy to Gizmo during our touristy visit to Cañon City! She put me totally at ease throughout the process with fast communication and was happy to hang with Giz in our motel room while we were out. He was very happy, relaxed, and clearly thrilled with her calm dog-person demeanor. Brooke really went the extra mile and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
7. Trea F.
“Trea walks two of my dogs a few times a week. Also left my dogs with him while I was on vacation. He sent pictures daily to reassure me that my fur babies were doing well. He has a home with a large fenced-in yard that they enjoy running around in, and a little plastic wading pool that they absolutely love!”
8. Erica T.
“Erica took very good care of my pups with an open line of communication and photo/video updates. She played with them and knew how handle my jumpy puppy. Looking forward to rebooking again and again!”
9. Jason M.
“We felt lucky to have Jason in town to watch our Bodie! Just as we suspected, he was a great fit for our energetic puppy who needed someone patient and caring for the day. Also his dog Juniper is sweet as pie and was a wonderful puppy sitter too - we saw them running together when we came for pickup, and our pup was having too much of a blast to be in a hurry home. We definitely recommend this awesome duo, and we wish they would always be in town.”
10. Melissa B.
“Melissa took care of our two dogs for a week and was great! She sent lots of pictures and was patient with our dogs getting to know her. We came back to a wonderfully clean home and happy pups!”
11. Dana Y.
About: I have a lot of experience with various animals besides dogs and cats. I also have worked with live stock, lizards and exotics. I worked at a massive boarding kennel were I learned to administrate various medications pills and insulin shots, learned basic training techniques, and over all general care for domestic animals. From this experience I started my own pet sitting business which I did off and on for a few years. Then pick up some business for a little extra cash in dog walking and pet sitting. I have taken a break from that to raise my daughter and become more established at my current job, but miss working with animals and would like to get back to helping those I can. I mainly would like to assist in dog walking, but if some pet sitting needs to be had, I'd be more than happy to assist there as well. I found from working in the boarding kennel, many dogs do find it more comfortable in a home setting then a kennel. I do work full time, M-Th 6:30 to 5 pm. I can take in 1 to 2 dogs in my home during this time, I do have a dog door and do come home for an hr for lunch. I do have a dog, so any dogs in my home would need to get along with mine. However, I can do dog walking in the evenings on Thursdays starting at 6 pm to 8 pm during summer months. Otherwise Fridays and weekends are best. Any time Friday, though occasionally I may not be available in the afternoons due to dropping off my daughter, Sat I can be available anytime, and Sunday Mornings and Evenings are best. Some afternoons are available if I don't have to pick up my daughter. I have a dog door with a 4 ft fence and a 6 ft fence on the sides separating my neighbors and I. If your dog is playful, I have a very playful and submissive dog. I'm very respectful of other peoples space and am great at communicating the needs of the owner for their pet. I'm accustomed to following written instructions and do like to meet ahead of time to meet the pet and go over feeding and/or medication instructions. I may have my 5 year old daughter with me, however, if the animal does not do well with children, please communicate that so no incidences happen. If I cannot have my daughter around, will be harder for me to commit to any sort of sitting or walking.
12. Nevaeh P.
“I have never felt so comfortable and happy to leave my pup, Zeke. He is my very best boy and to say I am quite the crazy dog mom is an understatement…and I felt nothing but reassured by Nevaeh. Zeke had SO much fun at her house playing with his new bestie, Dally. Nevaeh is patient, kind, and very understanding. To say she is phenomenal with dogs is quite the understatement. I will ABSOLUTELY be using her service again, GLADLY! I am SO grateful to have found her and to feel comfortable leaving my baby. (Side note: Zeke is very nervous and timid in new places without us and she really brought him out of his shell, WE LOVE HER!!)”
13. Emily G.
“What an amazing Pet Sitter ! Our Angel loved Emily and her family ! Her little son was loving up Angel, and Angel was loving him right back ! Emily left the house spotless , even washed her towels and dishes! She is amazing and we cannot wait to use her again ! The love she provided for our dog was like it was her own, she was beyond our expectations.”
14. Clarissa M.
“Clarissa did an amazing job watching my two cats. She stayed at my house and when I got home it was spottless and smelled amazing. My cats were happy and content when I came home and I knew she cared for them well!”
15. Cassidy R.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats for friends and family for as long as I could remember. I am always looking for ways to play with dogs and other animals, because who doesn’t want unconditional love and affection from fur babies. I’ve volunteered with animal shelters for three years whether that be playing with the dogs up for adoption or taking them out for a fun day with lots of walks and attention! I’m currently available anytime during the week or weekends to care for your animals whenever they need some additional love whether that’s for just a quick potty break or a nice long walk! Taking care of your pets in your home means always respecting the rules you have in place to ensure consistency is a daily and followed routine. I will treat every pet as if they were my own with love and care as I know they are essential in your home.
16. Samantha R.
“We couldn't have left our pets, and our home, in better hands! We had a good feeling when Samantha stopped by for a meet n greet and our Molly took to her immediately. She's normally very shy and standoffish at first so it was particularly remarkable that she had no hesitation with Samantha at all. While we were gone Samantha kept us updated with daily reports and photos of our babies. When we arrived home (hours later than agreed, due to airline delays), the house was spotless and the animals were all happy & healthy. From now on, whenever we need house/pet sitting services she will be our first choice!”
17. Witold G.
“Everyone who knows Peter can testify to his love for all animals, but especially dogs.His ability to handle even most challenging situations related to pet care is truly amazing. There always seems to be a special bond and understanding between him and the animal that goes well beyond simple acts or commands. To give specific examples, Peter took care of my dog for many years and I am well aware of the exceptional care he provides for his own dogs and other pets. He also walked dogs or took care of pets while the owners were on vacations. All these people highly recommended his services to friends and family. I addition to his love for animals and skills needed for a dog walker, Peter has other characteristics that you would want to see in someone you trust enough to be in charge of your pet. He is kind, diligent, punctual, responsible, and detail oriented. Overall, he is an exceptional person to know and employ.”
18. Jessica W.
“Jessica was AMAZING. Selfishly, I was hesitant to post a review because I want to keep her all to myself! She was responsive, sent adorable progress photos every day, and took such great care of our home and dogs. Her entire family (after clearing it with me in a timely manner that she could bring her kiddos) loved our two puppies like they were their own and made sure they had plenty of fun exercise. I would highly recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
19. Laura P.
“I came home to two very happy and well taken care of pups when Laura house sat for us. Our dogs can be very needy and they're also jumpers. Laura was a pro with them.”
20. Alexa A.
“Alexa is an exemplary choice to entrust with the care of your beloved dog, as she embodies qualities of trustworthiness, care, and love. Her reliability and integrity ensure that she will prioritize the safety and well-being of your furry companion at all times. Additionally, her caring nature shines through in her attentiveness to the dog's needs, whether it be feeding, walking, or simply providing affection and companionship. Moreover, her genuine love for animals makes her the perfect candidate to shower your dog with the warmth and affection it deserves while you're away. With Alexa by your side, you can rest assured that your dog will be in the most capable and loving hands.”
