Pet Sitting Side Creek

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, which has given me extensive experience in caring for them. In addition, I’ve volunteered at the Aurora Animal Shelter and the Animal Friends Alliance in Fort Collins, CO. At the Animal Friends Alliance, I received specialized training to work with "purple" dogs—those who are mildly reactive, easily overstimulated, difficult to manage, or have bad manners. This experience has given me the skills to work with dogs that require a little extra care, and I’m more than capable of handling them! I also have experience administering medication to dogs! I currently work full-time for an event company, so most days I will be gone for up to 8 hours. I primarily work in the evenings, which means I’m available to care for your pet during the day and can return at night just in time to cuddle with them as we sleep. However, if you're looking for all-day care, my days off are Monday and Tuesday! When caring for a client's pet, I make sure to follow any instructions provided to the letter. I understand that the client knows their pet best, and adhering to their guidance ensures the pet is as comfortable as possible while their owner is away and helps keep the client satisfied with my care. If no specific instructions are given, and I have any questions regarding the pet’s needs, I will reach out to the client for clarification. This ensures I create a safe and comfortable environment for both myself and the pet I’m looking after.

“We are so grateful we had her while we were away. She gave my cat and chickens so much love. I’m very picky with my chickens and I truly felt like they were safe with her. We will definitely use her again!”

“This was our second time having Micki look after our two cats. She's easy to work with and makes the effort to check out the house first and get her bearings right. Have come back home twice now to our cats happy and the litters and food areas clean. Her schedule is also great and haven't had issues locking in visits over two long trips.”

“Our pup immediately recognized Stephanie has a kind heart. She was very professional and perfect with our girl. We will be requesting her services again!”

“Kelly odd absolutely the best!”

“Brenna was super helpful while I was out of town. She kept me updated on my dog’s digestive issues he was having that began after I left. She went above and beyond to make sure he was cared for in my absence. My dog had an accident between visits and she let me know immediately and provided the necessary care to my home so I came back with one less thing to worry about. This is my second time booking her and I feel even more confident that my dog is in good hands with her.”

Tree E.

“Wonderful !!!!! We have two apprehensive older german shepherd's and they had no issue with Leanne. We have booked her again for house sitting and know she will do great. Thank you.!”

Lawrence M.

“Sara was AMAZING with my 2 girls. She checked in every visit with updates and sent pictures. Sara was very pleasant to work with and I would recommend her to all my friends and family. I will definitely book her again for future needs. Thank you so much Sara for taking such good care of my girls. I appreciate you so much.”

“Heather is the best. She was available last min for my week vacation after a family member flaked on watching my pups. She responded quickly to my request and kept me updated the entire time. The pictures also let me see how happy my pups were while I was away. I will recommend and use her services again in the future.”

Stacy B.

“Trevor was absolutely amazing with our cats this weekend! He spent the full check-in time interacting with them, playing, and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for. It was clear from the updates and photos that they were happy and relaxed while we were away. He was also a great communicator—super responsive and kept us in the loop the whole time. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Emily G.

“Maggie was great. She communicated well and keep us updated with everything about our fur babies. She took lots of good pictures of the pups. Will definitely book Maggie again for our future needs.”

Sokunthavery P.

“Laura was a great sitter! She took good care of our cats and made sure they were loved on while we were gone! She also left us a sweet gift & note for us!”

Katie G.

“Lauren has been absolutely AMAZING! She sent detailed reports every visit with pictures and everything! We even forgot to feed our fish and she happily did that for us! This was our first experience with Rover and we were a bit nervous about having someone we don’t know in our home, but I’m so glad we did and chose Lauren! She’s trustable, kind, and LOVES our pups! We will definitely recommend her to everyone and are so happy we found someone to watch our pups!!! ♥️”

About: I have experience with all age groups. I love to spoil them. My husband has said that dogs can sense a dog lover. All dogs need love. We do not have any pets right now and I miss them terribly. Our dogs were spoiled with love. I currently work full time, usually swing shift (2:00-12:30) a vacation relief line with my job. I will have my husband available for support since he is retired. I/we have a big fenced in back yard so they can run around and play. There are plenty of toys for your kiddos to enjoy.

“Amy was a huge help watching our kitties while we were out of town! She was flexible and able to help us out an additional day when our return flight was delayed. It made our travels much less stressful and the kitties had a good time playing with her.”

Alyssa P.

“Kate took great care of our girls! They had so much fun with her. She played fetch and sent us multiple video and picture updates throughout the visit. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve cared for pets since childhood, raising both cats and dogs of my own and helping neighbors, friends, and family with theirs. I have experience with puppies as young as 15 weeks, energetic adults, and senior dogs requiring gentle, patient care (I've also raised two cats from kittens to adulthood). I’ve personally walked through the joy of raising pets and the heartbreak of saying goodbye to four beloved dogs and one cat in their senior years, which gives me a special compassion for aging pets. What sets me apart is not just my love for animals, but my reliability and consistency — families know they can trust me to show up, follow routines, and treat their pets with the same care I give my own. As a stay-at-home mom (child is two) and small business owner who works from home, my schedule is very flexible and allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or cuddle breaks, I can give pets consistent attention and care throughout the day. I provide a safe and welcoming home environment with no other pets, so your dog will have my full attention. Our home has two stories and a fenced in backyard - so plenty of room to play! I can easily crate your pup if you provide the crate, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions. I only accept pets who are comfortable around children, as my two-year-old, who has been raised around animals from infancy and is always supervised, loves animals and is a regular part of our daily routine during bookings, so your dog will enjoy extra love and company in a family-friendly setting. If I'm looking after your cat, you can expect the same attention to care for their routines and/or special instructions (admittedly, if your cat's a snuggler, I can't help but to have my allergies take a backseat!).

“Highly recommend! She pays extra attention to the doggos, learning their personalities. Very reliable. Did everything we asked and more. Will definitely use her again 🐾”

Annette K.

“Jillian took great care of my kitties. She did exactly what I asked and even got my super shy kitty to come out. She’s extremely trustworthy and very responsive/communicative. She did awesome and I will definitely book with her again in the future!”

Pamela B.

“Raenae was the most amazing dog sitter we could have asked for. She treated our dogs like her own and truly went above and beyond. We can’t say enough good things about her, and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their fur babies.”
