Pet Sitting Silt

“We have a complicated situation at home with a very special ‘special needs’ kitty. He is scared of most people, but warmed up very quickly to Sarah. She did a great job taking care of both of the cats, I could tell they were very happy in the pictures she shared during each visit. Great communication as well! Thanks, Sarah!”

About: My childhood was always accompanied by a furry friend or two… or three. I learned at a young age how to care for cats, dogs, hamsters, rats, and more! Animals are such a gift. I am ready to learn the specific details of care for your pet to make them feel safe and happy! I work part-time at a campground from 2-8pm Fridays and Saturdays and 8am-2pm Sundays and Mondays. I am happy to coordinate times for drop in visits, extended visits, and walks any day of the week depending on availability and proximity. I am respectful, reliable, and trustworthy. I don’t take it lightly when I am trusted with your home and your fur babies. Our pets feel best when they’re at our side. I am happy to learn how you care for your pets, so I can provide the most consistency and comfort possible for them in your absence.

“Paige was great! She was very communicative and took great care of my (slightly skittish) dog! Paige made me feel very comfortable that my dog was well taken care of while I was out of town!”

“Tyrus was awesome! Super responsible and great at communicating. He looked after my 3 pets for a week and did a super job! I will definitely be rebooking him in the future!”

About: I strive to treat everyone's furbabies with the highest level of care as if they're my own. I've cared for every age of dog and cat for...really my whole life. I can administer medications and keep an eye on and assist more "special needs" furbabies if needed. I am a Biology major and try to learn as much as I can to care for animals the best I possibly can. I am currently working on animal first aid but I do know human FA so I can spot an emergency and care for minor wounds. I am currently working as needed at my job but, even then, my days are really open. I do have medical appointments here and there so sometimes I just need to leave the house for those but I try to return to the house expeditiously because I dont want the animals to be alone for too long. I understand not leaving dogs (especially) for too long between potty breaks so I can work around that but I try to stay at the house for 95+ percent of the time I am sitting. I purposely work around the animal's schedule so that they can be as comfortable and cared for as possible. I try to get as much information from the owner as possible so that I can make the time as similar to when the owner is around. I know changes can be stressful so avoiding any as much as possible is the best. I am known to be a cuddler but if they want their space I can definitely give it. I can give outside time to the best of my abilities and can transport in my own car with great safety if needed (e.g. if they love lake play, etc.). For younger animals, I can give regular care and make sure the space stays clean and cared for as best as possible. I understand that they need more supervision and help. I also try my best to keep an eye on outdoor heavy animals and shy animals to make sure theyre doing alright during my stay as well.

About: I’ve had all sorts of animals my entire life from lizards to horses. I’ve watched friends, family, and strangers pets along with occasionally some kiddos. I’m always available for questions so feel free to reach out anytime! My work schedule stays pretty consistent and I make sure my calendar on here is always up to date. Right now I work Wednesdays through Sundays 7-5. If you have any questions please let me know! I have a fenced yard, with a 2 1/2 year old mix who loves to play. Also in the house is a 3 y/o mini ausie who likes to stay in her own space inside the master bedroom. As well as a cat who has his own bedroom. All trash and food items stay in cupboards and off the counters. Bathroom doors are kept closed but a large water dispenser is available for thirsty fur babies.

“Aspen was incredibly helpful. She went beyond our agreement when I got stuck for 5 hours due to a highway shut down. She came back after already taking my dog for a walk that day due to a last minute request to let her out and feed her after I had been gone over 12 hours. She’s trustworthy, responsive, and is very kind.”

About: I am currently at home full-time and would love to help care for your furry friends! I have had dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life (from 125lbs down to 5lbs!) and love all breeds and temperaments. With just over a year of experience working at a dog daycare/boarding facility, I am well versed and happy to care for all types of pets and needs. I have experience administering medication, adapting to dogs’ needs, and meeting dogs where they are at. Prior to this, I worked for an overnight dog sitting/watching company that offered daily walks, overnight stays, and casual check ups for 2 years. I am open on weekends as well as during the week! I am home currently full time, and I would love to fill my days caring for your furry friends. Whether that is a drop-in walk or an overnight stay, I am happy to do anything to help! I currently live in a house with a fully fenced wrap-around yard with plenty of space for your pup to run! With direct access to trails and even a lake, I can make sure your furry friend gets as much exercise they need. I have ample room to hold your pups and they are allowed on couches and beds as you see fit! I am also extremely active and would love to take your pup with me to get adequate outside time! I have a consistent routine, which means I will keep a consistent routine for feeding time/medication if needed. I am no stranger to playing fetch for hours as well!

“Katrina is the best! My dogs loved having her come over, and she took excellent care of them. I would definitely recommend, and will use her services again next time I go away.”

“I've booked Suzanne twice now--she's an excellent, communicative, and caring sitter. It's so nice to know that your pet is in good hands while you're away. I highly recommend Suzanne to anyone looking for a sitter!”

About: Lifelong animal, pet, and nature lover! I have been caring for other people’s pets for over 15 years. At times, life got a little too busy for me to continue with this enjoyable “work”, but now I am able to re-cultivate this passion once again. From walking your dog, to taking them on adventures and hikes, to overnight stays, I am available for your precious pet’s need. I have a Chihuahua mix of my own that I rescued in 2020, and he is such a sweetheart and a major lover of cuddling. During my downtime, I can be found reading, hiking, cleaning, or doing yoga. For a small additional fee, I would love to help you with any other needs you may have, such as house work, organizing, cleaning, or light yardwork. I strive to meet all the needs and desires of your fur bab. From walks, to hikes, to overnight stays, I aim to make myself available! I work in an office setting M-Th 8a-5p, but I typically have flexibility with many breaks and a long lunch. I work from home on Fridays. About twice a month, I am on-call on the weekends (8a-8p), and will provide more details if that overlaps with your booking. I live in Rifle, so I offer drop-in visits and dog walking from Glenwood Springs to Parachute. For overnight stays, I will travel from Aspen to Grand Junction. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks, and a doggy door that leads to my little yard. My dog doesn’t use the doggy door, so I am happy to keep it closed if that is your preference. I love to go on walks with dogs, and will walk them for whatever amount of time they are used to or suits their energy level. I have a sweet, small dog that is friendly to all animals he meets. He will play with your pet, or give your pet space, he is happy either way.

“Marie is fantastic. She came by to meet Jasper before our scheduled drop in days and really took the time to get acquainted with him. She is extremely responsive and trustworthy..and also a dog whisperer! She sends updates and pictures and loves taking Jasper on adventures. I highly recommend Marie.”

About: I have been around dogs my whole life, with family, friends and neighbors all asking me to assist in dog sitting and walking! In the last few years, I have taken on serious pet sitting jobs. I have taken care of up to three dogs at a time for long periods of time, as well as taken care of cats and other smaller animals. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of availability! My schedule is flexible, so reach out if you have any pet sitting/walking needs! I love going on walks and hikes, and would love to take you pet with me! I offer house sitting services as well, and can take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home.

“Kat was awesome! She checked up and took care of my furry boys (2 cats) while I was out of town for a week and a half. She sent me updates and photos after every check in. Kat is very dependable and friendly to animals. I highly recommend Kat to pet sit your little loved ones!”

About: Ever since I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by animals. Growing up with three large dogs and two cats gave me a strong foundation in animal care and a lifelong love for pets. Over the years, I have volunteered more than 130 hours with animal shelters and rescue organizations, gaining hands-on experience with a wide variety of tasks including walking, bathing, administering medications, transporting animals to and from veterinary appointments, and fostering dogs in need in my home. I’m also a full-time dog mom and currently work part-time from home, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive care. I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s long neighborhood walks, hiking local trails, or simply enjoying fresh air with a happy pup by my side. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. I would love the opportunity to help with all of your pet care needs and provide peace of mind while you're away. I have two dogs at home that I care for full time. First thing in the morning I let my pups outback into the fenced in yard. I then feed them breakfast around 7:30am. We love to go to the park or for walks, we do this every day. Some days we will head up to a lake or reservoir for some swimming. We have dinner in the evening and potentially another walk. When caring for a pet in your home, I like to do a meet and greet with the dog first if that is a possibility. When being in your home I can provide the dog with treats and a slow introduction to gain their trust. Once this has been completed, then I will go about their daily routine per your request.

About: I have worked with dogs for a few years and grew up with cats. I take care of a lot of my friends and families animals. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all sizes and ages. I am starting the Vet Tech program alongside working at a local vet clinic as well! I am a early riser and will come and feed and let out your dogs. I will be there all night and let them out throughout the night. I am very accommodating. I will not have dogs staying in my home but I will get there early mornings and late evenings to take them out on walks.

“Faith was great and sent lots of photos. We will use her again!”

About: I have grown up with always having animals around. I have lived on multiple farms, and have volunteered with several animal sanctuaries, including one for wildlife in Costa Rica. I also have spent the last five years fostering animals with the Humane society as I lived in Asheville and completed my schooling. Through this experience, I have worked with neonatal newborns, pregnant and nursing mothers, potty training- ages, senior pets, and those who take medication. As I create this account, I am traveling and petsitting on the road. My schedule is very flexible because of this, and so I am open to long or short stays. Every animal is unique, and I love to get to know their personalities and preferences! It is my goal to ensure that animal and animal parent both are happy and comfortable.

About: I am based in Carbondale, CO. I am currently pet/house sitting full time throughout the summer so I'm able to provide a high level of care for pets and homes throughout the valley! I've cared for my own dogs, roommates' dogs, friends' pets, Trusted Housesitter stays, and Rover sits over the past 10 years. I've cared for dogs from puppyhood to 13 years old. I've also cat-sat for friends, Trusted Housesitters, and Rover clients over the years. I'm happy to take them on walks, hikes, dog parks, and potty/play breaks throughout the day. The longest I've watched someone's pet was for 2 months, and I loved it! I'm also happy to take them camping if that's their jam. Feel free to reach out with any other questions! A note on transportation - I have a regular vehicle (Subaru Outback) in addition to my ambulance camper. I also have a bike I often enjoy cycling throughout the valley, so parking availability at your home should not be an issue. I currently am full time pet sitting for the summer. I am very attentive and love morning, midday, fetch, and evening walks. I can take them to the dog park or on hikes, or if they're good with bikes, I can take them on even longer run/bike rides. I am very respectful and clean when staying at a client's house. I treat it like my own (if not better). I love going for walks with your pup and keeping them on a leash. I also don't give in to the cute puppy eyes when I'm eating my food and keep them to their parents' approved food and treats.
