Jackie was great! Right from the meet and greet through to my return, I was confident my dogs were in good hands. My Mercy is very suspicious of new people, but warmed up to Jackie within minutes. I was confident Mercy and Lainie were in good hands. Jackie even took Lainie to playgroup (Mercy would not go, and that was fine). I was amazed at the condition of the dogs and house upon my return as they were immaculate! I would highly recommend Jackie to everyone interested in a dog/house sitter!

About: I have lived with cats my entire life and have an abundance of experience caring for them, meeting their needs and wants. Growing up, I also lived with fostered pugs from a local pet rescue and have experience caring for them. While living in Colorado recently, I gained further experience cat sitting, while caring for dogs, geckos, pet birds, and chickens in a suburban setting. I have some experience walking dogs in urban settings. I am able to visit or stay with your dog to provide food, water medicine, play, and companionship. I also clean yards and immediately pickup pet waste when outside and clean in-house messes to prevent stains. I am communicative about pets and send daily updates and photos unless requested otherwise. I am currently a graduate student who only has class two days a week. I am able to stay overnight with pets in their homes everyday and my maximum time out of the home at this time is 7 hours once a week. I often stay with dogs and visit cats, but can stay overnight in order to maintain their feeding and exercise routines. I let dogs out into the yard and spend time playing with them outside or go on morning and evening walks. With current flexibility, I can go on lunchtime walks. I always update clients about their pets daily unless requested otherwise.

About: Hi! My name is Celeste. I’ve been caring for animals for 20+ years and believe every animal is special, beautiful, and has a unique personality! I helped train dogs at Petco for three years which taught me how to anticipate and correct behaviors. I will make sure they are loved, entertained, learning, and safe. You don’t have to worry about your fur baby when they’re with me :) A little more about me: I’m currently a quality control lab technologist and decided to care for dogs in my spare time. It’s a great way to get out of the house, get exercise, and meet adorable animals!! Please feel free to ask me any questions. I look forward to caring for your pets! Thanks! — Celeste

Ryan was a great sitter for my cat and senior dachshund! He sent multiple text and video updates. He was also attentive to my doxie’s old age “particularities” and left the house as clean as he found it. I would absolutely use Ryan as a pet sitter again in the future!

Katyln is one of the best, and I highly recommend. Lucy, Polly, and I had a great meet-and-greet before the stay, and the dogs instantly fell in love and were very comfortable. Katelyn is very buttoned up and has her clients fill out a Google Doc that covers everything about the dogs and the house. She is extremely thoughtful in her care, communication, and photo-sending. From Lucy, Polly, and my perspective, this was an A+++ experience.

Personally, I thought what we were asking of Jackie was a huge lift, but she made it seem like no big deal. 10,000 pills, Eye drops and a rather crippled dog. Both the dog and the cat seemed super happy when we got back, not depressed. She must’ve given them plenty of attention and cared for them very well.

Jessica provided thoughtful, personalized care for our anxiety-prone pup, taking her on walks and giving her cuddles to make her feel at ease. Jessica was also kind enough to extend an additional day when our return flights were cancelled. It was great to return to our home just as we left it, with a happy pup ready to greet us. We’re so appreciative of her excellent care!

Judith is the absolute best!! As usual, our pup was treated as a princess and our house was cleaner than when we left. Judith is always prompt, honest, accommodating, respectful, caring, and professional. When we leave our girl with Judith we have absolutely no worries at all. It’s such a relief to have peace of mind leaving our sweet fur baby. Thank you Judith!!!

Natalie was phenomenal with my dog, Lina over a 5 day house-sitting booking. She took the time to ask questions, and was attentive when learning about Lina's quirks and her daily routine. She'd always send multiple updates a day, pictures on walks and at meal times. My apartment was just as I left it when I returned. Would absolutely recommend her, she'll treat your dog like they're her own, and is super respectful when house sitting. Will definitely book again!
