Top rated Platte River house sitters

“Kayla was amazing with our two small dogs! She is so friendly, professional, and easy to coordinate with. Plus our pups instantly loved her. We will definitely be requesting Kayla again!”


“Emily is a very courteous caretaker of pets and the house as well. She is great at reviewing the instructions and asking great questions to make sure she knows what to do during the sit. Her communication is awesome, and she sends great pictures of our kitties while she was watching them! For what it’s worth we have a very shy kitty and after several sits, the kitty has warmed up to Emily which is awesome. if you need someone to overnight and watch your critters and your house, she is definitely someone to consider!”


“Amber is an excellent dog sitter, communicates clearly and is very capable with large breeds. Besides being a joy to work with, we returned to a clean home with bedding washed etc. 5 stars for Amber! Thank you!”


“James was very comfortable with our dog and our dog was comfortable with him. He gave him lots of attention and exercise. James is also very nice, flexible and accommodating especially since we had a last minute request. I very much appreciated his help!”


“Kris did a great job watching our dog Maple at our house. He is very communicative, took her for daily walks, sent pictures, kept us informed, and left our house spotless. He responded quickly to any messages we sent him. I will gladly contact Kris again for future pet/house sitting opportunities and hope he is available.”


“This is the second time Michelle has stayed with our two pups and we came home to two happy, well-cared for pets and a spotless home. It is very nice to have a dependable sitter and sets my mind at ease while away from home!”


“Kali house-sat for us on short notice, and not only did she make time to stop by the day before to meet the pets and get her bearings, she was also so kind and understanding about the long laundry list of needs and quirks when caring for our sensitive senior dog. While we were away, Kali sent pictures and text updates, and we were certain that our pets and home were in good hands. Next time we go out of town, Kali will be our first pick to watch over our pack!”


“Jordan stayed with our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for a few days. She was so kind and updated me many times with how they were doing and pictures for us to see. She even tidied up and did laundry for us which blew me away! I felt great leaving our dogs with her and would request her again! 🙂”


“Carissa was absolutely great! She was on time, communicated and responded quickly, and left the house in immaculate shape. Her love of dogs was obvious and our dog was content and healthy when we returned. I would highly recommend Carissa and would happily use her services again.”


“You know that feeling of dread you get when you leave your fuzzy critters behind when on vacation? Well I only had it for a short bit of time as Lorretta contacted me and sent me pictures barely before I even left on the plane to let me know they were all ok. Yes I missed them all very much but I felt at ease knowing they were in her care! Pick Lorretta you shan’t regret it! 🤗”


“Steph was an exceptional dog and house sitter! She took my dog Blue for several walks/day, provided daily updates/pictures and left my house very clean. I was able to relax during my time away knowing my dog and house were in good hands. I would definitely ask her to care for Blue again!”


“Elizabeth was a great fit for us when we needed someone to watch our older dogs. Kenneling our dogs for this particular trip (Family Memorial) would have been worrisome as our older dog is almost 15. Elizabeth was great to work with and the ease of use of the platform was helpful during a stressful time away. We loved seeing our fur family especially when our hearts were tender. I highly recommend connecting with Elizabeth should you need a fur friend sitter overnight.”


About: I have taken care of many dogs of many kinds for family and friends! I also have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own! I am currently working part-time for the summer so i will have lots of time to pet sit! I am available mostly everyday of the week and anytime! i care for pets by providing care and attention in your pet's familiar environment, by following your pet's routine closely, and offering playtime, walks, and lots of love in the comfort of their own home!

“Marg was great with my two dogs while we were out of town for a weekend with family. She was communicative and sent me a few photos and updates throughout the weekend. I could tell the boys felt comfortable with her! Thanks again, Marg.”


“I can’t say enough good things about Katherine’s stay with our Bode. She is amazing. Loved the daily updates and she is so sweet and very responsive and communicative. Bode loves her and misses her already.”


About: I have three dogs and a Guinea pig. I have plenty of experience with taking care of pets and love meeting new friendly pets to help out I work full time 8-4 but am available on the weekends and after 4:00 on weekdays. I am also able to accommodate lunch break potty stops if needed I would be unable to take any dogs or cats to my home as we have a full house right now. But I am more than willing to stay in your home or do multiple visits throughout the day

About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. I grew up with horses, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, and chickens. I have done some volunteering at the Cherryland Animal Shelter and have taken some of the dogs on some fun adoption events. I don’t have any pets of my own at this point in my life and would really like to be able to spend time with yours when you want to get away. I like to visit my son who has two dogs, a black lab an American bulldog so I can take them for walks and cuddle up with them. I am single and own my own home so I definitely could bring your dog to my house if necessary. One of my favorite hobbies is walking so I definitely can’t wait to take your dog/s for walks. I am a nurse that works with the electronic medical record and currently working from home.


“I am so late getting to this review. So sorry Jill! Jill stayed overnight with our two labs on the 23rd of December. She was amazing, came home to a clean house and happy and healthy dogs. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”


About: My motto is: "Dogs, kids, and mosquitos love me!" Darned if I know why--must be one of my "superpowers" as they say. I have taken care of senior dogs, most recently for two weeks with Georgia near Bangor, Maine. I spent 3 and a half months with Xander in Berkeley, California. Also a month with Lucy & Charlie (Brown?) in Topanga County, CA. I've also enjoyed being with Toby, Latka, and Sookie in San Diego CA. Plus, Luna and yes, another Luna in Los Angeles. Special skills include a long attention span, creative mind, ability to play for hours, up and at 'em early in morning. Also: laying down with dogs and not waking up with fleas! I am a freelance journalist and author who writes books at home. Thus, I rarely leave the house, except to go to a library to work there. Four tomes so far, working on #5, with animals to be with and love--can't beat it! Xander, Sookie, Toby, Ted, Latka...if only dogs & cats could speak! (Sookie did do some kind of sing-song when I played harmonica...) The key to my care is slowing down and showing enormous patience, using experience, and giving mucho attention to love my fellow creatures enormously.
