“Nichole did an amazing job. She was excellent with communicating with me throughout her time. She took great care of my dog. I strongly recommend Nichole , and will 100% use her services again.”
“Jordan always goes above and beyond when watching Sam. I know that Sam is in great hands with Jordan and will have a great time. Can't wait to rebook with Jordan again.”
“Lori is great! She totally understands our dog's temperament and took him on many adventures while we were away. We think he had more fun than we did!”
“super responsive and wonderful with our pup!”
“Maggie did a terrific job with our 5 mo. old Westie, Archie! She came at the last minute when our original sitter did not show up. She said she enjoyed meeting Archie and that he was always near her. She was patient with a feisty, semi house trained pup from Wed. afternoon till Friday a.m. She really accommodated us at the last minute so we could get away as planned. She sent us updates and photos and reassured us that though we were leaving Archie for the first time, he was well taken care of. We will ask her to be Archie's sitter again. Thank you, Maggie!”
“Absolutely great sitter! Would definitely work with Carter again.”
“Hayley is AMAZING!! One of my cats is very social and the other is shy. She got BOTH of them playing, brushed them, and made sure they knew they were loved on top of the bare minimum of feeding them and giving my old lady her meds. She even checked to make sure my hamster was still breathing while I was away since it was always during my hamster’s sleep time that she was there. Highly recommend. Will be using again if I ever am going away and she is available”
“Stacie was terrific! It's very obvious she is in-tune with creatures and Sam seemed to be instantly comfortable with her. Going away is much easier when we know both house and Sam are in good hands.”
“Tatyana was great - she was on time, asked good questions about the dogs and our instructions, sent us pictures and videos, and stayed in touch throughout our time away.”
“Magdalena stayed for six days to care for and cuddle my dog Nellie and cat Olive. She communicated and provided updates and photos daily. It was reassuring to know she was there to keep my pets safe, fed and loved while we were away. I highly recommend Magdalena for all your pet care needs. I will be booking her again in the future!”
“We are so lucky to have had Fawn house and dog sit for us for almost a week over the holidays. Fawn is extremely respectful and communicative. We had lots of updates and photos and felt very at-ease with Fawn in our puppies’ care. Highly recommend!”
“Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.”
About: As a psychiatric nurse, I offer gentle, attentive care to people in vulnerable moments. I bring the same calm, respectful presence to the pets I care for. Their feelings and situations are accounted for while I tend to their personal needs. I work part-time on an as needed basis and can work around the schedules of my clients. Available on short notice, including nights, and 12-24 hours' notice is preferred. I have a lightly fenced yard and two friendly dogs. A canine guest may be offered crating for sleep, or they are welcome to bring their own bed. Must be cat friendly. If caring for a pet in a client's home, care will be provided in their own environment precisely as they are used to.
“Deanna took great care of my dog and my old Vermont house while I was away. My old dog also had a small leg injury that flared up and Deanna was all over it, applying new bandages as needed. My dog loves all the help from Deanna!”
“Teresa was a wonderful house & pet sitter! Took very good care of our two cats and house, as well as giving our new puppy the love/attention/training she needed. She kept us well-informed while we were away, sharing pics and details about how it was all going. Thanks!!!”
About: I have had animals my whole life and always also have been employed in animal care fields. Personally have 5 dogs and 4 cats. I also have experience with farm animals including horses. I am currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. I can always adjust my day as needed to fit your desired schedule. I understand the importance of routines for your pets and with a flexible schedule can always make sure their needs are met and they are happy and stress free.
“Amanda was AMAZING for our house sitting booking. She took such good care of our pitbull and cat. She really connects with animals and they absolutely love her. Our cat, who normally hates strangers and always hides, was curled up on her lap by the first night. We will definitely be booking her again!”
“Emily was very communicative and followed all of our instructions to the letter. She was also very warm and seemed really excited to hang out with our pups. I would absolutely hire her to take care of them again.”
About: I have fostered many dogs over the past 3 years, along with taking care of my own active 2 dogs. I am very comfortable with any size pup. I am available to walk your pup nights and weekends. I would also be able to stop in if needed on my lunch break during the day for a walk. Every pup I treat like my own. I have basic first aid knowledge so I can take the best care of your pup if needed.
About: Growing up in Vermont on a farm, I have been exposed to animals my entire life. I have been taking care of family and friends dogs, horses, cats, guinea pigs, camels (yes, camels) since I was allowed to leave the driveway on my bike as a child. Since leaving high school I took on a professional equestrian career with Wichita riding academy working with rehabilitating abused/ off the track race horses. I have just recently moved to Denver with a fenced in yard and lots of space. I have a dog of my own that is my entire pride and joy who loves spending time with other dogs. Having a fenced in yard, it’s very helpful and handy to those pups with bladder issues to go in and out of the house as needed. My home was completely childproof when I moved in and it’s so far worked for dogs as well. Huge open field located next to the house available for dogs who like to run as well.
