“Jackie took care of Lucy for the weekend and did a great job. She was kind, respectful and you could tell she loved caring for others pets. I would highly recommend and would book with her again in the future.”

“Incredible. I’m always afraid to have someone new with my doggies and my home but Alex kept me informed and was on top of everything. We came home to very happy pups. I really hope I get to have her again.”

“Christina came back to stay with my dogs for a second time. She’s great! Lots of updates and pictures of her with the dogs. When she’s dog sitting, I’m confident that my dogs are taken care of. Thank you, Christina!”

“Haley was absolutely amazing! My Pomeranian puppy needed care for about 6 hours, and Haley went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She listened to our wants and needs for our puppy and asked all the right questions beforehand to be prepared. During the day, she sent me updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found her and will definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!”

“Demi was fantastic I would recommend her to anyone! She came to our house for a meet and greet and I knew within 2 minutes she was going to be perfect for our dog and I had no fear leaving our Sammy in her capable hands. Communication was great we had a few issues not so much with our dog but our home that she communicated swiftly which was appreciated. Demi is very sweet and professional I loved my daily pictures 😊”

“If you're looking through profiles and trying to decide whom to book - let me save you some time: just stop looking because Sabrina is PERFECT! I have two dogs; one with some health issues related to eating and one that's very nervous. Sabrina worked wonders with both of them! Not to mention the dog's water bowls were sparkling like they were brand new when I got home! Just WOW! Stop searching, you've found the absolute best that there is.”

“Marti is fantastic! We had a meet and greet couple of weeks ago. That sealed the deal for me. She had a calming effect on my 16 month old Maltipoo. Missy snuggled up to Marti and trusted her. Marti offered to drive me and pick me up from my eye doctor appointment . It worked out great. Missy was such a good girl riding in Marti’s car. Very pleasant, stress free experience for us. Marti is a kind, smart lady. Her past experience is evident. She will watch Missy again in December at my house for a weekend. So happy to have found Marti.”

“Marideth was absolutely amazing with my boys (cats) while I was out of town for the week. Both of my cats currently have medical requirements - one needs an inhaler daily for asthma and the other on multiple pills. I know this can be a tricky role for anyone to step into and navigate. Marideth handled this extra task with confidence and care. She kept me updated with photos and messages and made sure both my boys were happy while I was away. It was such a huge relief to have her there and know they were in capable hands. She went above and beyond and I absolutely will be booking with her again!”

“Laura did a fantastic job watching my dog while I was a way for a long weekend. She kept me updated and was very attentive to my dog’s needs. I definitely plan to have her dog sit again in the future.”

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 can visit animals daily with limitations to evening time on Tuesdays for visits. 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.
“We entrusted our beloved furry friend to Rave’s care for six nights while we were away on our summer vacation—and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rave was incredibly easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with thoughtful messages and adorable photos of our pup. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our buddy was not only well looked after but genuinely happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rave provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

“Amy was great! So chill and easy going. Our German Shepherd and Shihtzu have occasional squabbles and it was so great knowing they were safety under Amy’s care. She stayed the night with them— didn’t mind them hogging her space or all the shep hair and she left our house like she wasn’t even staying here. Thank you, Amy!”

About: Grown up with animals my whole life. I believe all animals deserve the best, both in terms of treatment AND care. I've briefly volunteered with H.A.L.T many years ago as well as spent a few months volunteering overnights at a Veterinary hospital to assist with cleaning and other non-medical tasks. I have open availability at this time. If your animal needs constant attendance or interaction I can make the time. Your pets needs are your needs, and once those are made clear I will be sure to meet those needs. At my home I can keep your animal in a cool and secure environment indoors, but I have a large back yard for them to walk and run in freely as well. At your home I can be sure to keep things tidy while providing your animals entertainment and enrichment.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Alexandra! She stayed at my house for a full week to care for my two dogs, and from the moment she arrived, I knew they were in the best hands. She is an outstanding communicator, she is warm, responsible, and clearly has a deep love for animals. My dogs were relaxed, happy, and well cared for the entire time I was away. She kept me updated with sweet photos and messages, which gave me total peace of mind. My pups were clearly well-loved and well-exercised. I would absolutely welcome her back anytime—she’s a gem!

Marideth was absolutely amazing with my boys (cats) while I was out of town for the week. Both of my cats currently have medical requirements - one needs an inhaler daily for asthma and the other on multiple pills. I know this can be a tricky role for anyone to step into and navigate.

Reilly was fantastic! She showed up on time, followed every instruction for all three of our dogs, including administering medicine and vitamins. She interacted with them, let them out frequently and was never gone for more than a few hours. Would hire her anytime!

Kayla was a wonderful choice for our two girls Paloma and Ivy. She is kind, thoughtful and detail oriented. She paid close attention to our instructions for our pups and taking care of our fish! We would not hesitate to have her back for another sit and you should not hesitate either!

Kara was an amazing sitter for our dog Mila. She always kept in touch sharing pictures of our Mila, took her for walks, let her out into the yard to enjoy the nice weather and played with her. They kept each other company and you can tell Kara really likes dogs and they really like her!
