About: Hi, I’m Katie! I’ve had dogs my whole life and volunteered in dog shelters for years. As a kid, I annotated my dog encyclopedia and woke up at 5 am on Saturdays to watch the AKC dog show, so in addition to loving mutts & shelter dogs, I also have a good understanding of breed nuances and distinct needs. I’m extremely detailed and will take care to notice if I’m putting your dog’s leash on in a comfortable way, if I got the gate closed, and all the little things you notice when it’s your own pet. I continually educate myself on dog body language and first aid in addition to detailed training I received from Humane Colorado shelter and my Red Cross pet first aid certification. Your pet will be treated with love and meticulous care, with the goal being to leave them happy and played out, ready for a nap! I am self-employed with 24/7 flexibility and control over my own schedule, so I’m available to accommodate whatever custom scheduling needs you may have for your precious pets! When visiting or staying with someone’s pet, I treat the home and animal how I would want mine treated, with integrity and a dedication to leave all things better than I found them. I check fences and gates for any weak points, avoid other dogs on walks, pay attention to their favorite lounging and “neighborhood watch” spots, and allow them to show me what they want and need. I provide detailed photos & reports, and interact with enormous amounts of love and sincerity just like I’d hope my own would be treated with. Trust is everything. You can count on me!
About: I’ve taken care of family dogs and cats since I was little! I cared for my own dog and his siblings from birth. They give me life, so I work to give them the best life in return. I am a full-time teacher, but I’m currently on summer break and will be home full-time until August. I’m very flexible with working my schedule around the needs of my pets. I have a fenced yard and beautiful walking trails around my house/neighborhood. I have one Labrador retriever who is so friendly and loves company. They can easily be crated if needed, but I do also allow for my dog to roam the house freely. Dogs love the furniture so that’s a for sure at my house.

About: I have two years of experience pet sitting small, medium and large dogs pet sitting experience with cats. During my visits, I have walked, fed, had playtime with, and have fed any medications or vitamins the owner has requested I give their pet to them. In my daily and weekly routine, I would be available for visits/walks during: Monday/Wednesday/Fri: 6-10am and/or 1-8pm Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday: available at any time Sunday: 3-8pm These times do differ for overnight stays! When caring for pets in my clients home, I always make sure to follow any instructions or specific requests the client has left for me. I also make sure the client has informed me of certain behaviors of their pet and has told me about the pets personality to ensure I watch them in a way that makes them the most comfortable to ensure a safe and fun visit!

I would absolutely recommend Erin to anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Ryder had a great time, thank you so much for walking him! He’s a chunky little dog with short legs so we’ll definitely have to work him up up to 30+ minutes. Thank you again!”
About: I have many years experience caring for friends, acquaintances, co-workers, family, clients, and my own pets. People first approached me to house sit and care for their cats, dogs, and horses because they trusted my integrity and sense of responsibility towards all animals. Then, my services just grew from there. Clients value my fun loving presence and playful, gentle nature. I understand completely that pets are family, and they will be treated as such! I have a B.A. in Human Development and Family Life from KU. After so many years of caring for children and pets, I have an abundance of patience, insight, skill, and a strong sense of responsibility to communicate with owners and their beloved pets. I send pictures and updates each visit.
“I would definitely recommend Kirby to anyone to care for their fur babies! I have an anxious dog who tends to scare people and rarely likes anyone. Kirby definitely has a way with dogs. Milo warmed up to her faster than I’ve seen him warm up to anyone. Literally within minutes he was relaxed when she came for the meet and greet. She kindly took on sitting for my dogs last minute and gave me consistent updates with photos! It was wonderful to find someone I can trust to sit with my dogs and love on them just as much as I do. For once, I didn’t worry one bit while I was out.”
