About: I got my first dog when I was 17 years old, his name was Tyson & he was black lab & lived to be 14 years old. We traveled everywhere together & he was my everything. I love animals so much, & there’s just something about being around them that’s so healing 💕 I’m the first friend people call if they need any animals taken care of, I’ve worked at a doggy daycare for a few years, I have plenty of experience, and I would love nothing more than to watch your fur babies. Im currently working part time. 10am-6pm 3/4 days a week. I can do walks or drops ins, before and after work if I’m scheduled that day. I rent a home with a fenced in backyard. I do currently have three dogs. (Two Chihuahua mixes and a heeler mix.) they are crate trained so if you’re more comfortable with them staying separated from your baby(ies) that is absolutely no problem, depending on the duration of the stay.

About: I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals and enjoy working with them. I’ve bathed, fed, walked, and played with the animals. I’m very trustworthy and my friends and family members rely on me with their pet care needs. I am a full time college student but I am flexible with my hours. I live 2 hours away when I’m not at school so I will go home for holiday breaks and the summer! My friends and family trust me to watch their pets and take them out on walks throughout the day. I have alot of pet experience and can do anything you ask of me!

About: I have been a dog owner just about my whole life & have experience petsitting for family & friends when they are out of town. I am mostly experienced with medium to large sized dogs but dogs of all breeds & sizes are welcomed! I am available any time on sundays & mondays, the rest of the week I am available anytime before 3p.m before I go into work or after i get off work around midnight! When taking care of your pets, I will make sure to observe their behavior to make sure they are comfortable with me being around them. Any care instructions will be carefully followed to make sure you and your furry friend are left satisfied and happy!

About: I am an animal science student with a concentration in animal behavior and wellbeing. In the agricultural community, I raised and showed an award winning rabbit. Last semester, I was an animal care intern at Columbian Park Zoo. I have nearly a decade experience working in pet care. In addition, my family fosters animals. I am seeking employment in pet care to fill my spare time with a furry companion. I have a flexible schedule in the morning and evening during the week. I am available Thursday-Sunday for weekend stays. When I was in third grade, my family opened our home to foster animals. Throughout the last 11 years, we have cared for animals with parvo, double ear infections, malnourishment, etc. The foster organization trusts us to nourish these animals back to health and prepare them for their forever homes. When I visit client homes, I spend quality time with animals providing them with enrichment. I pride myself on reliability, my clients trust and depend on me to care for their beloved pets. In addition to my experiences, my coursework focuses on animal behavior and wellbeing which helps enhance my services.

“Hey there. My name is pattie and Jordan came to walk both of my dogs. He was great! His communication couldn’t have been any better. My dogs are like my children, so I love to know when he arrives, leaves and filled the dog bowls with food and water. He was very attentive. I will gladly be rebooking in the future.”


About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds from a young age, including dogs, cats, birds, rodents, and more. I worked professionally for a doggy daycare for three years, during that time I worked with 30+ dogs in a yard at a time, and I was promoted to a shift lead and given medication administration permission. I have cared for dogs of all needs and sizes. I have had a passion for training dogs since I was a teenager and would be happy to (with your full permission) help you teach your pup some basics or give them a refresher course on previous training. I would also be more than happy to give extensive updates, videos, and photos, of me and pet’s time with me; as a pet parent myself I understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your fur baby with a stranger and I am more than happy to do whatever may be needed to alleviate some of that stress or worry. I am currently taking an online course for video editing but otherwise, I have an extremely flexible schedule. I am available all weekdays and most weekends. Mid to late day would be preferred for walks but for drop-ins and in-your-home pet-sitting, I am very flexible for scheduling. I am very attentive and detail-oriented in my pet care. Any medication, dietary restrictions, or any other rules for your pet(s) and or my time in your home, as I care for your pet(s), will be strictly followed. I also love to learn about your pets likes and dislikes and all of their silly quirks. So feel free to talk my ear off about your fur baby, as every detail will help me to better care for them.

“I had a great experience with Nicole. She was professional and communicative. She took great care of my dog Spencer on his walk. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a local dog walker.”



About: I have always loved animals, especially dogs! I am a responsible, energetic, caring person that would love to take care of your pet! Your pets are part of the family, just like mine. I have experience dog sitting small to medium sized dogs. I am not strong enough to walk or care for larger dogs (unless of course they are great on the leash walking). I do not discriminate against any kind of breeds. I have two dogs of my own that are chihuahua and chihuahua mix. I have cared for small chihuahuas to larger pit bulls. Just message me with your needs as I work part time as a dental hygienist so I will work around my hours. I, also, volunteer at a wild animal rescue where I get to care for raccoons, foxes, deer, possums, squirrels and rabbits under the supervision of a veterinarian. I love animals of all kinds! Caring for animals is a passion of mine !

“Mooon looks forward to his walks with Mo!”


About: I know what sets me apart from others has to be that i care for others fur babies as if they were my own. i have experience with cats and dogs as i've had / have my own before. You can rely on me to make the process of your pet being able to rely on me for care while youre away Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine by me having 3 cats i feed them breakfast / dinner as well as filling their water bowls and daily litter cleanings I care for my pets by giving them the space they need as that's what they like but also smothering them with love when given the chance to. I've cared for others pets by making sure they're in the know of how their fur baby is doing whether that be with sending photos or updates throughout the time they're in my care!

About: Hello, call me Shay. I've grown up with dogs and have always wanted to be in a profession where I can work with them. I have always had family rely on me when it came to pet sitting their furry family members. Now I am so happy to do it for you. I love taking dogs on long walks, playing, and even brushing if requested. I am really hoping that with the extra funds I get from this amazing experience, I will be able to fund my future in a career that works with animals daily. I will love and treat your pet like they were one of my own. I am pretty flexible and always willing to take extra time to work with more timid pets. For house stays I always have someone with me so please be sure to let me know if that's something you don't want :) I am currently working part-time, so I have plenty of availability on my schedule to give that time, attention and care to your beloved pets. I find most pets perfer staying in their own familiar home. Keeping them happy and relaxed is a main goal of mine and whether on vacation or working a long day, you and your pet will be less stressed knowing they are safe at home.

About: I recently moved to the area with my boyfriend and our 2 boys, we have 1 dog and 1 cat! They are my kids and I treat them as such and same for yours! I can provide all the love, time and attention you would ever hope for!! I grew up with many dogs of all ages and breeds, as well as plenty of cats. My history for working with dogs is very wide. Right out of high school I got a job at a doggie daycare and that was just the beginning of my journey. Since then I have; * worked in a humane society caring for dogs and cats (in good health and bad) * Worked at a different doggie daycare, in which I became the supervisor * Been a swim coach for dogs (for therapy and fun) * Hiked dogs (would hike up to 4 dogs at a time for 2 hours) * Been a clinical assistant and supervisor for a traveling vet company (referred vaccines to clients and helped hands on with the vet) * Worked as a receptionist at two different animal hospitals in Colorado I do work a lil under full time but that doesn’t take away from the care I am able to provide. My schedule is constant through out the week and frequently changes on the weekends. I work 10am to 6pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. As for the weekends, I typically work around 4-5 hours on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority! I provide all the care and love that I would want for my kiddos. Anything I can do to make them more comfortable, I’ll do it! We do have 1 dog and 1 cat that live in the house, so I ask that any dog that comes into our home be friendly and socialized. Our cat, Midnight, does stay to himself as he is older and doesn’t want to be bothered. Trippie, our dog, is on the younger side and loves to play, but also very good at matching energies. If your dog wants to play, he’ll want to play. If they like to lay around, he’ll do the same! When it comes to my home, I live in a two bedroom apartment that’s fairly big with lots of parks close by. In the house; *lots of toys *fresh water everyday or more often if needed *large and small dog beds *first aid kit specific to their needs *one ingredient treats *allowed on furniture *can puppy proof if needed *can feed in separate rooms in need I do ask that for any dog staying in my apartment they be up to date on the following vaccines; (I will require proof) *Rabies *DA2PP *Bordetella

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! Lap dogs, hunting dogs and elderly dogs. I love dogs and would love to take care of yours! Thanks for looking! I am currently working as a hvac service technician! I start my day early and end early! I have plenty of time after work to take care of your beloved pets! I have a fenced in back yard and do not have a pet myself so you wouldn’t have to worry about any other pets being around yours!


About: Caring for animals has always been my passion! I am an experienced pet sitter, dog trainer and behaviorist. I have four dogs who are very friendly and enjoy having guests over. I have worked in pet hotels and daycares for the past 7 years where I supervise and care for large groups of dogs. This allowed me to gain valuable experience learning canine body language, socialization, and psychology. I also am experienced in administering medications and have a large fenced-in yard for your dog to run and play. My husband and I work opposite shifts so someone will almost always be home, allowing your pup to have many potty and play sessions throughout the day. I look forward to speaking with you and meeting your furbaby!

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. In my spare time I volunteer with a pitbull rescue but in the past I have volunteered with several shelters. I have an anxious dog so I understand the importance of patience and routines. I also understand the stress that leaving your animals can create, so that’s why I’m here to help you feel less stress and more confident in your animals care while you’re away! I work full time but I get home by 5:10 at the latest and have an hour lunch break. On weekends I only work occasional Saturday’s until noon. I understand the importance of feeling comfortable opening your home to a stranger but prior to booking we can schedule a meet up to ensure you are as comfortable as possible! I am happy to provide check in, feedings, refilling water, bathroom breaks, walks, and of course lots of loving if they are comfortable with that. I’m happy to help in any way!

About: In the past I’ve had foster dogs from the shelters and they would ask me for more help if they were needing extra help with the dogs. I’m available almost anytime after noon. I am looking for a new thing to start doing I love animals and I have experience with watching dogs and cats. If needed I can train the dogs and watch the house if my clients need me to. I can clean up messes if an accident occurs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. I fell in love with taking care of them and now I wanna help other people’ animals. I’m currently not working anywhere I want start doing something different. I’m available almost all the time and will be there for them if needed. I have a fence in yard with two big dogs and three little ones they all get along with each other. I feed and water them and take them for walks and make sure they’re okay.

Lee B.
“Lee is my go-to dog care when I take random short trips away from home and my yearly vacations. I have an older dog that is very aggressive, another that has a big bark but is scared of everything, and a hyper dog that has no act right. Lee does great with all of them & they all love her. She listened at the very first visit when I told her of their habits and boundaries and we’ve experienced nothing but happy dogs upon returning home. We even get random, cute pictures sometimes when the mutts are posing for her 🙂”
