“Mariah was wonderful! She helped us out when we were forced to search for another pet sitter last min. Came that night to do a meet and greet and back the next morning. She took wonderful care of our pets and home. Clean, communicative and most important our pets seemed happy.”
“What a god-send Victoria was for us. Our animals seemed to like her very much, she was very open and communicative, and our pets and home were in great shape when we returned, would definitely rebook in the future.”
“If you are looking for a caretaker for your pet, give Jim the opportunity to assist. Jim watched my German Shepherd, Levi, for a few days and he did a BRILLIANT job! Jim provided updates and pictures of my happy pooch! Jim did everything I asked and MORE! If you want to have someone who listens and does what is asked, look no further! I couldn't be happier with Jim's care of my very needy, Levi! I will definitely plan future getaways with Jim in the near future! OUTSTANDING! JOB WELL DONE!”
“Ashlyn was so great with our two dogs while we were away at our wedding. She was so patient with us while my brain was swamped with bride craziness. Our dogs loved her, and she gave us updates with photos on how they were doing. We had peace of mind with our dogs in her care. Our home was well taken care of as well. Highly recommend her!”
“Eileen was amazing with our fur babies! We have a 4 year old golden and a 2 month old golden and they were well taken care of! Eileen was polite and responsive as well as very friendly and great with our pups! I would highly recommend her :)”
“As always, Tessa was amazing. Watched our dog, cat, and goats while staying at our house for two weeks and took such good care of everyone. All the animals were happy relaxed and clearly extremely well cared for when we returned. They also watered our plants and took amazing care of the house. Will rebook, including for extended house sitting.”
“Mckinnley did a great job watching our dog Leo for 6 days while we went away on a trip. She communicated well and sent photos/updates often. Our dog is a scared and shy boy, and she was very patient with him and able to earn his trust. She also did a nice job of keeping our apt clean, which is always nice to see when coming back home. We will definitely reach out to Mckinnley again the next time we need a dog sitter 😊”
About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life, and currently own two, high energy, pups. I come packed with love and patience for your fur baby. I have a calm demeanor, but bring the fun, and will treat your pet with the respect and kindness you’d hope for. I work from home and make my own schedule. If I’m house sitting, I will be available for your pet the entire time. I do have scattered meeting throughout the day, and will work around my schedule. I give my dogs two walks a day. I can fit yours in at those times, or the times that work best for you. If I’m house sitting, I will stick to your dog’s schedule.
“Katie was super friendly and you could tell she really cares about your dog. She gave me photo updates while I was away. My dog acted like she didn’t even miss me when I got back home, so I know she was well taken care of.”
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I bring years of experience in caring for dogs and other pets. Growing up, I had two dogs, one of whom was a trained service dog, both of whom sadly passed away when I was 12. Today, I am the proud owner of two energetic young dogs, Bleu (2 years old) and Frankie (1.5 years old), as well as a social and playful 1-year-old cat who loves interacting with both dogs and people. I understand how important your pets are, and I would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies as you would, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Let me help provide you with peace of mind, knowing your pets are in great hands. Contact me today to discuss your pet care needs! I am currently a full time student at front range community college, but I make time for the furry friends! My schedule is very open. I have a fenced yard with two furry dogs and one fluffy cat. I do daily walks as well as training to stimulate their mind.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, even training them. But I have worked as a vet assistant for 2 years at Countryside Animal Hospital in Fort Collins. During this time, I have helped many dogs through emergencies, so I have experience in keeping dogs calm and happy, as well as when to take them to the vet. I am currently looking for work, so I am very open to every kind of animal and care. This includes house sitting for a whole week, early mornings or late nights. Even I try to care for any client's pets as though they are my own, and their own being. Each deserves to be treated in a specific way that works for them. I will change my approach to each pet in my care. I also keep my clients' homes better than my own. This is not my home, so I take care to keep everything clean and tidy.
“Marissa did a wonderful job taking care of our home and our two pups. She left the home in perfect condition and was very respectful. Our dogs seemed very happy when we came home and we have no doubts about her ability to take great care of them in the future.”

About: I’ve been an animal person my entire life. I got my first pet “Charlie” a shihzu when I was 14. I did everything for that dog and even paid for his surgery out of my own pocket when he was ill. Since then I’ve worked and volunteered for multiple dog shelters in CA and have worked at the wild animal sanctuary and lil buckaroos petting zoo in CO. I have experience helping and looking after various animals including exotic ones but mainly dogs and cats. I currently take care of at home a 6 cats, 3 dogs, a parrot, skink, and 2 miniature horses. You can be confident in the fact I can handle almost any pet that you have. I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time for anyone’s pet needs. I do of course have daily tasks at home but those are flexible. I cannot board any animals at my home for I have too many animals and it would be too risky. I would never put an animal in any potential danger. I can take care of your animals at your home just the same though
“Carole was absolutely fantastic with our dog while we were gone. We were frantically searching for a new rover in our small town and she came to the rescue. She was so kind and loving to our dog it was the first time we have left him with a Rover and felt confident that he was going to be okay. We didn’t worry once throughout our trip and she sent us update and videos of our little dude while we were away. Our 60lb pit bull was no match for her kindness and patience. I cannot recommend Carole enough. Anyone who gets the pleasure of having her watch your pups is a lucky person! PS: she baked us fresh zucchini bread while we were away so we had something to eat when we got home ❤️”

Melissa M.
“Melissa is obsessed with her dogs in the best way! She takes them on multiple walks per day. She thought me only taking my dog out twice a day was not enough times (it's plenty for my dog lol). She spends more time with them than anyone else. She understands them and their feelings. Leave her alone with dogs for too long and she will create a whole new language only she and the animals know and understand. I wish I was exaggerating on that one. You will literally never meet someone more obsessed with dogs in my opinion.”
