Dog Sitting in Thornton

About: I trained my Golden Retriever from a puppy. I have lived with dogs all my life. I like to walk dogs in places they can explore and sniff around. I am a Lafayette college student with a very flexible schedule . I am normally available during the afternoons and weekends. I am not available in the mornings. I like to walk my dog in an environment that they are comfortable with and make sure they have extra time to get their energy out.

“Nicole was awesome, did absolutely everything we asked, wrote great notes and had great pics and spent solid time with our pets. Will hire her again in a heartbeat.”

About: I've been around dogs my entire life! I adopted my childhood dog when I was about 8 years old. I have experience working with pets of all ages and can administer medication, including injections. I don't have a formal job and since this is my summer break from university, I'll have plenty of time to care for your furry friends! I can walk pets, take them outside for bathroom breaks frequently, play with them indoors or outdoors, give them medication if necessary, and feed them! I have experience in fulfilling almost any need a pet has.

About: I grew up with a big Labradoodle and have lots of experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and even stay overnight with their pups. I love spending time with every dog and getting to know what makes each one special! I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule! I am available for sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine! I follow each pet’s routine, including feedings, walks, and any special care. I keep everything clean, give pets plenty of attention and exercise, and send regular updates so you always know how they’re doing!

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have only guinea pigs now, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

“Amanda did an excellent job watching our kitties. She is highly dependable, flexible and does a thorough job. I would definitely love to have her watch our cats in the future.”

“So great with my dog. They give him a ton of attention and always send funny pictures of him playing.”

“Christie did a wonderful job tending to my two cats. One who isn't very social with other people besides myself seemed to come out of his shell a little bit. I'm certain if Christie had a couple more visits, Bootsy would have let her pet him. I would definitely book Christie again!”

“I am so happy to find Catherine to care for my Molly. Catherine is reliable, very attentive and communication could not have been better. I would highly recommend Catherine and look forward to working with her in the future.”

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog as well as family and friends dogs for about 10 years. I am able to take long walks, feed, and entertain in general. I consider myself very trustworthy as I’ve had a dog my whole life. I recently just graduated college and am back home so I am free most weekdays any time after 1 pm. I can walk around for some good exercise for the dog or just play in the yard. I live in a great area for nice long walks. If I’m staying at a clients home, I provide lots of cuddles inside as well as fun play time outside.

“Libby was fabulous and took great care of my high maintenance older cat. She was very responsive and reliable and kept me informed of his care every day. He requires meds 2x a day and she did a great job, exactly on time. He was in good spirits when I returned from a week away! I will definitely use Libby again.”

About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats and currently have two black labs, ages 7 and 14, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for neighbors and family friends, caring for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with specialized needs. I have experience providing medication, administering inhalers, using doggie diapers, and helping older dogs stay comfortable and maintain their routines. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply providing companionship, I strive to give every pet the same care and attention that I give my own. I’m currently a student at Penn State University pursuing degrees in Accounting and Finance while completing my Master’s in Accounting and studying for the CPA exam. Pet owners can count on me to be responsible, dependable, communicative, and attentive to detail. My goal is to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I am currently a student studying for the CPA exam, but have lots of flexibility, especially during the standard work day. I also have weekend availability though it is more limited. I currently only care for pets at my clients’ homes. The type of care provided is dependent on each owner and the instructions they provide to best care for their pets.
