“I highly recommend Lila. She did an amazing job with my three cats. She is very diligent and honest. Gustav needs a pill and she was able to give him that. Betty is very timid but she went to Lila. Lila kept me updated with texts and photos everyday. She went above and beyond. I look forward to having Lila take care of my fur babies whenever I travel!”


“What a huge help Amber was! We're incredibly grateful she was available to watch our two geriatric kitties. She is thorough, communicative, great with medication administration, trustworthy, and a joy to coordinate with and talk to. My cats were in wonderful hands, and I was able to actually enjoy time away and feel comfortable with the care they were receiving. Amber is a true gem, and she's definitely in the right field! Thank you!”


About: I've been dog sitting for a little over 7 years now for friends and family. I recently started dogsitting for clients at the salon I work for. I own 2 dogs myself one of which is 10 and the other is 4! I love cats and dogs so much and I can't wait to have my own house to adopt as many as I can! I currently don't own any cats but I can't wait to in the future! I currently am working part time as a front desk receptionist at a hair salon Tuesday-Saturday. I typically try to work morning shifts but would like to fit more dogsitting into my schedule for after work! I am also more than happy to dog sit during the week and stay over while also coming to the salon but returning back afterwards! I'm very flexible with what needs to be taken care of for your pet! I can take them on walks or for car rides. I can play fetch for as long as they want outside. Obviously take them out for potty and feed them give them treats. I can cuddle with them or brush them. I have taken care of a blind dog before so I can give them eyedrops or medications as well!

“Cara is fantastic! She was always on time and spent the full time interacting with our cats. She went above and beyond bringing in packages and taking out trash bins when needed. Highly recommend her services.”


About: I’ve got a big Doberman and a goofy American Staffy of my own, so I’m super comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve taken care of everything from little lap dogs to big, reactive pups—and I truly get them! I treat every dog like my own, with love, patience, all of the attention! Pet care fits into my routine easily since I have a flexible schedule. I’m available on short notice and can give your pup the attention and care they need throughout the day—whether it’s for walks, feedings, or just company. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, cozy space with lots of love and attention. I have a large yard, and while it’s not fenced, I always keep dogs safely leashed outside unless otherwise requested. I don’t use crates at the moment, but I make sure each dog has a comfy spot to relax and feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, or specific habits. I’m respectful, reliable, and always focused on keeping pets happy and stress-free while you’re away.

“Iesha was great! Very communicative, and a great help! Very consistent in her timing, and my elderly dog really enjoyed time with her. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to leave their dog in good hands.”

“Samantha was wonderful with our 3 dogs, one of which isn't very cooperative with new people. She knows dogs really well, including all of their special personalities, needs, and quirks.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals from raising playful puppies to caring for senior dogs, I’m experienced and comfortable meeting the needs of dogs at every age and stage! As a flight attendant, my schedule is always changing, which actually gives me a lot of flexibility in my time off. On my days home, I love being grounded and spending quality time caring for pets. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle because I’m able to fully dedicate my attention to the animals when I’m off. Whether it’s a quick drop in, a walk, or overnight care, I make sure to plan around my availability so I can be reliable and present for each pet I care for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always aim to create a safe, loving, and calm environment. I follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions or preferences from the owner. I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, and I give them plenty of affection and attention to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I also keep the owner updated with messages and photos so they have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I have taken care of mainly medium to large dogs with high energy. My aunt (having a team of Siberian Husky’s) would often ask for my help with training and race day prep so I was always playing around with dogs in large numbers when living in Colorado. I am currently out of work by 2:30pm Monday-Friday with majority weekend availability. I have no problem with any dog big or small, old or young. I am very active and can keep up with active dogs or slow down if it is an older dog and just go for a leisurely walk. I usually walk my dog for a half hour 3 times a day for a half hour and play with him in my back yard on nice days.

About: I bring 2 years of senior care experience, so I’m patient, attentive, and deeply respectful of others’ routines and spaces. My background in caregiving taught me how to notice small changes, handle responsibilities with care, and always show up when it counts — and I bring that same energy to pet and house sitting. I am working part time doing uber eats. I love spending my free time coloring and learning new skills to be successful in my goals to entrepreneurship. I have a fenced big back yard over 1,500 sq ft so there’s plenty of space to run around. I live in a quiet neighborhood.

About: I’m an animal lover at heart and have been helping care for dogs since I was little, at least 20 years and counting! I “dog-sat” throughout middle and high school for friends, family & neighbors. Happy to walk, play, feed, and then some. I’m seeking additional “work” that can also help me - I firmly believe that caring for animals is beneficial for mental and physical health! I’m not only caring for them, the furr friends are taking care of me too! I’m a teacher, off for the summer, and pretty available with the exception of a short vacation here or there. I am happy to coordinate times and schedules with you around your pets needs. I love nature and spend time outside daily; I can walk them around the block, the yard, or play catch! Suggestions welcome of your "norms"

Highly recommend!”


Christopher F.
“Christopher is the most enthusiastic when it comes to adventures, especially those involving dogs. He has a long history of caring for dogs, from caring for a large number of huskies out in Colorado, to being the best dog walker to all of the residents' dogs. He matches their energy, whether they need sprints with balls in the field, short or long walks, or a hike up a mountain. I have not met a dog that hasn't loved him. He is responsible, eager, and follows through with all communication so pet owners will be at ease knowing their dog is well cared for.”

Lisa C.

“Lisa was very respectful, polite and responsive.”




Kimberly C.

“Kimberly is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous my very first time dropping my dog off but after the first visit, it was evident that Kimberly became Diesels permanent sitter and now we both couldn't imagine life without her. She is extremely flexible with drop off and pick up times and willing to meet me wherever and wherever to ensure that my needs are met; she is so selfless. She always makes me feel at ease with updates and pictures whenever Diesel is staying there. She is always extremely responsive and communicative. She constantly makes Diesel feel like part of the family and to be honest he misses her more than me when he gets picked up. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Diesel always looks forward to going to Kimberly's house because he knows how well taken care of he is there,”


Rebecca F.

“Rebecca was great! She took great care of my cat and was very understanding and patient when we had an issue with our lock. Would definitely hire her again!”
