“It's not easy for me to leave my dogs with someone, especially someone I don't personally know, but I am so glad I was able to connect with Sarah to watch my dogs. My girls were loved and spoiled for the four days they stayed with her. You can feel the care she has for the pups she's watching through her updates and photos. Highly recommend you give her a chance when looking for trusted care for your dogs!”
“Kim, once again, was wonderful! Tika doesn't like a lot of people but she seemed genuinely happy to find herself at Kim's door again. We had forgotten about an out of town trip so booked only a few days before. Honestly, if Kim had been unavailable we would have cancelled our trip. I 100% recommend Kim if you find yourself in need of pup care!”
“Courtney is Amazing!! We are from out of town visiting family who did not allow dogs on their property. She is quick to reply, sends lots of photos, is not afraid to ask questions and super flexible. We love her!! Our dog is a rescue who is emotionally and physically damaged. She took him with no problems. I highly recommend using her. Her husband and kids are amazing as well.”
“Jonathan was great! Easy to communicate with and sent pictures of Tucker while we were away, which was great! If you need pet care I definitely recommend!”
“We love Hally! Most importantly our dog, Daisy, does, too. At this point, she is almost as happy to get to their house as she is to come home! Hally always makes sure Daisy gets lots of exercise and has a really special time.”
“Madeline and Christian are always so fantastic. Bailey loves going there and playing with their pup. They are awesome at communication, I feel so comfortable leaving Bailey with them and love getting photo updates. They are my go-to for pet sitting!”
“Rachel and Meg are the real deal. Our dogs (two 70lb handfuls) got daily park trips, adorable photo updates with genuinely funny captions, and the kind of care that goes above and beyond. Rachel even replaced a dog bed one of our dogs chewed up, no questions asked. That level of thoughtfulness is rare. Book them. They will treat your dogs like their own.”
“Eileen and Mike are very sweet and caring. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them as I knew they would take very good care of him. And I was right, Teddy seemed very relaxed and well taken care of when I picked him up. Thank you so much for your loving care!”
“Patty & Mike are the best! They are friendly and treated my dog Luna so well. They sent me pictures throughout her stay and updated me regularly. I would highly recommend!”
“Laura is an amazing pet sitter. She checked in with me often and followed all of my directions. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her for a week. I highly recommend her.”
“Gisele and her partner took excellent care of my anxious dog Jack! I loved to see the long walks and adventures he went on with them while I was out of town.”
“Christy took great care of our pup while we were away! She was always quick to respond, flexible and kind. She gave us updates throughout our trip. Aspen came home worn out and happy. We will definitely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“10/10. Goji had a great time. The yard is very nice with a tall, tight fence and plenty of shade. The grass is beautiful and all the dogs were having a great time. Anthony is very nice and knows what he is doing with the dogs. A great experience and I'll be re-booking as needed.”
“Amber is amazing and tough! I adopted a crazy dog, and Amber and her kids handled her perfectly. She sent pics, took her to the park. I appreciate her last minute acceptance and her pricing is great! She is gracious and kind. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs care for their fur babies. She is trustworthy and experienced!”
“Milo enjoyed his stay with Ling. She sent consistent updates to let me know how Milo was doing and we got a tired pup which is always a plus when you return from vacation. Thank you Ling and Andrew!”
“Mike and Karen are wonderful! Our rescued blue heeler is not quick to accept other people, and I was concerned about finding someone to take care of him while we were on vacation. Mike and Karen’s patience and understanding with dogs (and our ACD in particular) created the trust and respect that resulted in an amazing bond. Rudy was well-loved and cared for, and the photos and updates we received put us ease. We’re so grateful!”
“Christy watched Riley for first time over holiday and our cold snap that hit hard. Riley was happy, well fed and entertianed. While she was a rascal and stole treats and made a mess she was loved. She seemed to want to stay on pick up and thats her good review. I wil use Christy again.”
“Samantha provides great care for Babin! She was also super accommodating when I had to add an extra night for Babin because I had gotten stuck in a snow storm and wasn't able to make it between the originally scheduled pick up times. I received daily video and photo updates of Babin playing with her new friends. She really seemed to have a great time! Thank you again!”
“Hanui was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond in caring for our puppy while we were away. Our family couldn’t be more impressed or grateful for the love, attention, and excellent care she provided. She kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout our trip, giving us complete peace of mind. The communication with her was excellent. Hanui is such a kind, joyful, and trustworthy person. We wholeheartedly recommend her. Thank you, Hanui!”
“Lexi was amazing! She was quick to respond and kept in communication the whole time we were traveling. I received pictures of my puppers and he seemed happy and healthy and well cared for every day. I would highly recommend Lexi and would definitely feel comfortable trusting her with my pup again.”

“I met Bethany, Nathan seemed to be the one cat sitting though so I wish I had met him too. They did a great job, dropped in when they said they would, gave my kitties plenty of attention and cleaned up after them- even trouble shooting my automatic littler box when it decided to misbehave. Would book again.”
“Tess took such great care of my kitty! She was so attentive and caring. I appreciate that she went above and beyond to get in through all the doors in my apartment, gave my kitty fresh water and food and gave her extra love and play time! Tess truly cared about mine and my kitty’s needs. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“Dylan is great! He is reliable, easy to communicate with, and quick to respond to messages. He had no problem giving Hank his medication as well. Thanks for looking after my high-maintenance Hank while I was away!”
“Brianne continues to be absolutely amazing! Respectful of our home, super clean (house was cleaner than when we left!), considerate to everyone's needs, very interactive with the cats, and able to learn more challenging things like helping the vet tech with our kitty's subQ fluids. Also patient with our crazy boy when he brought her a mouse and a bird (😭). Excellent communication and pictures all throughout our trip and a super hail mary when our flights all got canceled with the Dallas snow storm - she was able to flex her schedule and stay another 1-2 days to help us out (of course this may not always be the case, but I know she would do her best to accommodate any situation!). I highly recommend Brianne with no hesitation whatsoever. 😊”
“Our cat adored chris! Followed instructions and kept our cat company while we were away for the week. Will be requesting again in the future!”
“Elsa cared for our cats last week and did a great job with them. She followed instructions to ensure they got enough water, dry food, their daily canned dinners, and fresh tap water dribbled from the one specific bathroom sink that they drink out of it's clear that Elsa spent time visiting and playing with them since they were not starving for attention when we returned. Door was locked, house was as clean as we left it, and most importantly, the cats were healthy and happy. Success!”
“Dixie did great with our shy cats! She gave us excellent updates and photos every day. We would highly recommend Dixie! Your pets will be in great hands.”
“Sydney is amazing with our pups! Makes sure that both of their needs are met and gives them lots of love. They pics she sends are great, both dogs look super happy that she’s there!”
“Angela was amazing to our pups! After every visit, Angela sent us photos of the girls and a little review of how the visit went. She is very loving and kind with our girls, she even left them a little treat at the end of the visit! She was professional and communicative with us, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Dora took good care of my cats while I was away! She played with them and gave them treats in addition to feeding and scooping litters. She also went above and beyond by watering my plants!”
“We have used Bethany maybe…30 times? Every time is better than the last. We seriously thank god we have her in town. She is reliably, careful, trustworthy, and treats our cats as if they were her own. One of our cats is older/needs special care and she ensures he gets all his medicine. We are so grateful for her and her son who treat every visit like it’s her home. We will continue to use her indefinitely!!”
“Sarah was amazing! Communication and photos were great. Came home to a relaxed and well taken care of kitty. Will definitely be rebooking with Sarah for future trips!”
“Abigail was so professional and a delight! Daisy loved her, and Abigail went above and beyond giving her attention. She also checked in and provided pictures. I’m so grateful!”
“Breanna is terrific! She showed up for 30 consecutive days on time to take care of my pet cat Buddy while I was recovering from a surgery. I highly recommend Breanna to anyone requiring in-home pet care. Thank you so much Breanna!”
“Dan is absolutely amazing—it honestly brings tears to my eyes thinking about how well he takes care of our dogs while we’re away. He’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you so much, Dan!”
“I've scheduled with Juliana twice now, and she has truly done a phenomenal job in taking very good care of my senior black lab. She was very thorough in her Meet & Greet ... very communicative on behalf of each visit ... and very considerate in caring for my pet. She obviously loves animals, and it shows in each and every one of her visits!”

“Kim was a lifesaver on our trip to Colorado Springs, many of the activities we planned didn't allow dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving our doggo with her. She was super flexible on times and we even added an extra day! She sent videos and our pup was so happy when we picked him up and excited when we took him back the next day!”
“Rachel and was so sweet with my boys. They were immediately comfortable at her home. My Ollie even wanted to show me around when I returned to pick him up; usually he is dying to jump in the car and head home. That speaks very well of Rachel. She sent me photos and communications was great!”
“70-lb Elsie enjoyed her stay with Janae and her friendly dog. She was offered a big bed indoors (but laid next to it, as usual) and enjoyed exploring the large backyard during her stay. Pickup and Drop off were easy, and Janae responded quickly through the app - highly recommend!”
“Sarah was wonderful to work with. Lexi tends to be a little anxious when we leave her and Sarah was patient and understanding the whole time. We highly recommend Sarah and will use her again when staying in the area.”
About: We nicknamed our home The Dachs Inn - a weenie wonderland! We’ve cared for Dachshunds for 15 years and specialize in meeting the unique needs of this breed, including dog ramps on our furniture and deck. Our home features a dog door with all-day access to a giant backyard for potty breaks, play time, sunbathing and squirrels!!! Plush dog beds are placed through the home and a giant sectional provides the perfect spot for cuddle time. Daily walks are provided, we even have a dog stroller for senior dogs or those dachshunds suffering from IVDD. I work remotely from home full time and, along with my retired husband, provide hourly drop-in care, play dates, overnight and extended boarding in our home. Additionally, I provide home visits and walking services to families located on the west side of Colorado Springs. Other locations throughout Colorado are considered on case-by-case request for extended care in your home (5 or more days). I have three dachshunds, ages 15, 10, and under 1 year. My dog-friendly home has a fenced back yard, we feed all visiting dogs separately, and can provide daily pictures of your baby’s activities. I can also provide regular weigh-ins, medications, and teeth brushing. I am very active and love going on long walks/hikes (up to three miles) upon request. While I prefer to host only smaller dogs in our home, I am open to all breeds for care at your home - including drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I kindly ask that all dogs are current on all vaccinations, including kennel cough. For medical emergencies, we are established at Westside Animal Hospital, The Animal Clinic of Woodland Park, and the Emergency Pet Center.
“Amber was fantastic! She was incredibly friendly, and her home felt very welcoming. My dog was happy and quickly made himself comfortable. I highly recommend Amber and will definitely rebook when I'm back in Colorado Springs. She truly is the best dog sitter in the area, offering excellent service at reasonable rates. Rocky looked happier than ever!”
“I can't say enough nice things about Hanui. Not only did she take excellent care of my dog, but she offered additional help when I was in a bind. She and her husband are outstanding people. I am grateful to them.”
“I highly recommend leaving your pups with Samantha! She is very friendly and attentive, and your dogs will fall in love with her and her husband. They have a wonderful, shaded, fully-fenced backyard that is perfect for daycare.”
“Melinda was very easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of my little dog, who can be anxious around new people and other dogs. I would definitely ask her to watch my dog again in future!”
“Hally and her husband were wonderful! They were both so patient with getting my two pups comfortable in a new place. They were very communicative and kept me updated on how the dogs were settling in with lots of photos. It was clear they both love dogs and truly care about each pup in their care. Highly recommend!”
“Had a great experience with Tatum! She is very communicative, flexible, and willing to work with our schedules. Our pup has a great time each time she watches him!”
“This was our first time using Rover. Sara was awesome and we will absolutely use her again next time we’re in the area! Incredibly quick to respond and excellent communication throughout the whole experience from meeting up beforehand and communications about the needed schedule flexibility on our end. She was on time for both meetings and her own dog is so very sweet. We’re so pleased they got along and Sara got them out and about on a beautiful day as well. Now we’re on a long drive home and our pup is actually sleeping in our car, something she never does, so we know she had a wonderful time playing with Sara’s dog. We’ll be using Sara again and passing her info along to friends that frequently visit the area as well. Thank you, Sara!”
“Lola was happy hanging out with Kevin for the day. Kevin sent many pictures throughout the day. When I picked up Lola his little girl came over to say goodbye to Lola like a friend would, it was touching. I would definitely recommend Kevin to watch your pup, they’ll have fun ☺️”
“Leslie took excellent care of Felix. Even more than that, she was flexible with the times daily, even when we had to cancel and re-schedule on short notice. The home was very clean and my pup was accepted by all in the family. It was Felix's first time away without family. This was our first Rover experience so we were a bit nervous, but we will definitely seek to book her again. Can't thank her enough!”
About: Hi, I'm Dan! My best buddy Yama was born in January of 2019, he is now a seven year old good boy. I am a former Army infantry medic and am attending graduate school remotely from my house. I grew up on a farm in Oregon where I was surrounded with all sorts of animals from a young age. I love all animals, especially dogs. My style is fairly permissive, especially with other people's dogs, but I am clear on boundaries, redirect when needed, and give lots of love and positive energy. I don't buy into the dominance theory training methodology and am a big fan of Karen Pryor's training methods. I am happy to answer any questions you have on my philosophy. I live and work at home, so we do daily walks, play time in the backyard, mental enrichment activities, and low active / layabout sessions. I work from home full-time, so your dog is never left alone for long and always has eyes on them throughout the day. My home has a securely fenced yard, and I take introductions between dogs slowly and intentionally, reading body language carefully before giving anyone free run of the space. My seven year old dog Yama is a steady, positive presence who helps visiting dogs settle in. I use positive reinforcement exclusively because a dog that feels safe and understood is a dog that behaves safely. If anything ever seems off medically or behaviorally, I'll contact you promptly - that being said, that hasn't ever happened.
“Heather took such good care of my baby! Her dog Gauge was the perfect playmate for him too. My dog can be anxious but she made him feel very comfortable. She took him on walks, played fetch, and sent lots of pictures so I didn’t have to worry at all! I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Giselle watched our dog Benny and we felt so comfortable leaving him in her care. From the start Giselle was quick to reply to our request for care and was very flexible. She worked with Benny on his training, took him on a long walk and played with him in the yard. He is a high energy dog and she wore him out!😊 If you are looking for someone responsible, attentive and kind Giselle was perfect. I will use her in the future!”
“We brought our dog to Carla all bandaged up with an injury and she was able to follow all of his care directions and make sure he took it easy to heal. This was all very last minute and we are so grateful she was able to help us. She truly is the best!”

About: I volunteer at Happy Cats Haven and have worked with kittens, middle aged cats, and senior cats. I’ve had two cats and one now named May, I also had two Golden Retrievers. I’m an animal lover and enjoy giving them love and attention. I love kitty cuddles and playing with cats and dogs. I’m free all days of the week. I provide basic cats needs, food/water, litter box cleaning, playing etc. Whatever the fur baby mom or dad needs me to do. Also applies to dogs.
About: I love animals. I have taken care of my family and friends' dogs over the past twenty years and have been entrusted with both housesitting as well as walking, bathing, and administering medications. I have had many different pets growing up and housed over 30 cats in my lifetime. I volunteered for 7 years at my local nature center as the animal caretaker growing up and currently have a year's worth of volunteering at the Wild Blue Sanctuary in Colorado Springs. I am very passionate about all animals! I treat every animal with respect, patience, and love - knowing it may take them a moment to feel comfortable with a new person. Animals quickly warm up to me because of my compassion and sensitive nature, and if you allow me to care for your fur baby I will show them as much attention and love as I know you give them! *Extremely punctual for all appointments, even a bit early!* *I am very strong on communication and send many pictures during care time* *I will retrieve your mail and packages left at the door, as well as water plants if needed* I currently work remotely from home and have a very flexible schedule. I am very familiar with the Colorado Springs area as well as animal-friendly parks and pathways. I do not need much notice to help you with your animals and home, and I don't mind last-minute cancellations, as I know life happens! I am available when you need me - days, nights, weekends, or week stays (we can discuss if you need longer). I also will put your pet's care as a priority so if they require something like specific attention or multiple walks a day, I am here to help! I currently have a cat at home - but she is indoor/outdoor and I have multiple indoor facilities on my property so mixing your pets with mine will not be an issue. Your pet will be taken care of at my home as if it is my own! I do not have a fenced-in yard but I live in a more forested area of the city with many dog-friendly hiking trails so we can stretch your fur baby's legs frequently on a leash, so that's not a problem. If I am caring for your pet at your house - you set the rules, and I abide. I am here to help in the way you need.
About: Hi! I'm Angela, a loving pet sitter in Colorado Springs. I've had my rescued dog (from the Humane Society) for 5 happy years — he's my best buddy and taught me so much about patience and care. I also volunteered at PetSmart with adoptions, where I walked dogs, helped with events, and supported pets finding their forever homes. I bring that same gentle, patient energy to every sit — whether it's a quick walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. I’m reliable, send photos/videos during visits, and always follow your routine exactly. Free meet-and-greet so you and your pup can feel comfortable first! Available evenings after 6 p.m., and weekends. Message me — I'd love to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾" I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup. I'm happily available for pet care in the early mornings (before 11 a.m. most days), evenings after 6 p.m., and full weekends. I take care of pets in your home by treating your space and your pet like my own — with gentleness, respect, and close attention to detail. I care for pets in your home by following your routine exactly — feeding, walks, play, meds, and potty breaks. I keep everything safe (doors closed, hazards checked), send photos/videos during visits, and leave your home tidy. I’m gentle, patient, and treat your pet like family while respecting your space completely. Free meet-and-greet so you and your pet feel comfortable first!
About: I have had dogs and cats for along time. First was pomeranian, dachshund, two golden retrievers. One golden(Nala) lived to 13 my other golden (Jude) lived to be 12. I love having a dog. Need time to heal. That is why I would love taking care of your dog. If your fur baby loves to go on trail walks I am your person. I used to walk with my dogs on trails almost every day. Red Rocks,Garden of the Gods, Bear Creek dog park. I own a jeep so dogs are always welcomed. I am retired. I am home the majority of the day. Plenty of time to cuddle,play,walk,ball throwing anything your furry baby would like to do. I have a fenced yard. Plenty of room for them to run around and play. I have one cat. Your fur baby would need to get along with cats if boarding in my home.
About: I enjoy dogs more than people. When I used to live on Guam, there was a period i was watching 4 dogs, 2 of which were mine. One happened to be a pit bull, and another happened to be rottweiler. The other 2 were medium sized. Now, that I am no longer in Guam I have 3 dogs that me and my wife take care of. I have my 2 from Guam. I havent been around all types of dogs, but I really enjoy them all. I find their different personalities and their energy levels interesting. I enjoy walking my dogs, so I think it would be fun to walk other peoples dogs. When I’m not working and time permits, i like taking my pups hiking in the mountains with me. Thank you for checking out my profile ! I walk my three girls at least five days a week. And when I have a day off, i love taking them into the mountains. Each dog is different. Different pup parents have different plans for their babies, so their rules come first. But if permitted, i would love to share the same trails I explore with our four legged partners.
“We are so thankful for Dixie and helping us why we were out of town!! She did a great job helping give our pup exercise, and aid my grandparents while they were dog sitting!! She is very kind and even walked her in extremely cold weather!! Thank you Dixie for making sure pepper got her energy out while we were away!!”
“Maria was great! Very helpful and communicative. The pups were very comfortable & safe with her. She had flexible availability and was very thorough. She was very knowledgable and caring. Would definitely use her again!”
“Mackenzie was so awesome! She was so sweet to my pup and really took care of him. She was prompt on his walking schedule, and she gave excellent updates on every walk. I was so happy every time she shared what they did on his walks, which eased my mind greatly. I will definitely rebook with Mackenzie in the future, she was great!”
“Dylan was great, he is attentive and caring and took care of my pets in an exceptional manner. This is the first time I leave my pets in the care of someone else and I couldn’t be happier. He is definitely trustworthy and definitely the choice to make. My dogs were in good hands, they love him and I am forever grateful. Thank you”
“Tess has been absolutely amazing with my terrier/lab Greta. She takes Greta for walks twice a week and has been instrumental in helping Greta with her leash training. I cannot recommend her enough.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals—growing up with five amazing dogs, two cats, and recently pet-sitting my brother’s cat and her litter of five kittens when I visit family. I’ve learned how to raise, train, and care for animals deeply and intentionally. When we had chickens, I remember training my dog to gently herd them back into the coop while my cat stood watch like a little guardian. I also recall how our dogs and cats would sense when one of my family members—whether my siblings, mom, dad, or grandma—was feeling down and would go over to comfort them. That’s when I realized how smart and intuitive animals can be when we trust and guide them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience dog-sitting for my mom’s friends, caring for my roommates’ cats, and providing care for a friend’s service dog. I’m comfortable with animals of all temperaments and needs, and I always approach each one as a unique soul with their own personality and rhythms. I also know how to bathe both dogs and cats with care and patience (yes, even the cats!). Whether it’s trail walks or quiet time at home, I’m here to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve—whether that’s outdoor adventures or simply being a calming presence. I work from home, so my schedule is incredibly flexible and I’m available throughout the week to care for your pets. I can stay at your home overnight, providing consistent care for both cats and dogs. Whether you’re going on a short vacation or need someone for a long-term stay, from weeks to months, I can be there to make sure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. I’m available for stays of any length and can provide both regular visits or extended care as needed. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be a big decision, and I’m committed to building trust by providing the best care possible. I’ll ensure your pets are always supervised, whether on hikes, at the dog park, or just enjoying time at home. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have regarding your pet’s routine or care needs. Whether it’s making sure they get to their preferred groomer, giving elderly dogs extra attention with special instructions, or managing specific dietary or medication needs—I’m here to make sure they are well taken care of. I’m also committed to keeping their space clean and comfortable, with daily cleanup and a tidy environment, so they feel right at home. You can trust me to treat your pets with love, patience, and respect while ensuring they stay safe, happy, and relaxed in a familiar routine.
“Nancy is great. Extremy professional. Excellent communication and service. Nancy clearly takes her care for your pet very seriously. We look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Jerica is so professional and kind. She took the time to meet my dog and talk to me before her first visit to ensure she understood exactly what was needed. She is very thoughtful and I can tell that she cares a lot for the animals she looks after :)”
“Jessi has been an amazing sitter. Duck loves her and her daily visits on work days, and I can trust that she will always keep me up to date on what’s going on and how he’s doing. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a trustworthy walker.”
About: Leaving your pets is always a little tough, and I completely get that. My goal is to make it as stress-free as possible for both you and them. I’ve spent my whole life caring for my own dogs and cats, and I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for others for the past 6 years. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn off energy or your cat needs someone to hang out with and handle feeding time, I’ve got you covered. I'm big on sticking to whatever routine your pets are used to so they feel safe and comfortable. You can count on me to be super reliable, and I’ll always send plenty of photos and updates so you know exactly how they’re doing! I am currently not working since my child is on summer break so I will be available to drop in and check on your fur babies almost anytime! Since I’ll be coming to your house, keeping your home secure and your pets safe is my top priority. Here is how I'll handle it: Respecting your space: I always double-check that doors and gates are locked tight when I leave, and I keep a close eye out for things like loose cords or stray snacks. Safe walks: Your dog stays on a leash, and I stay fully aware of our surroundings the entire time. Watching the weather: If it’s scorching or freezing, we'll swap the long walk for some fun indoor playtime so paws don't get burned or frozen. Emergency ready: I’ll grab your vet’s info before you leave. If anything ever seems off with your pet, I’ll text you right away.
“Daniel has been wonderful for Hobie! He goes above and beyond and has been a bright spot during a stressful relocation. I was nervous about bringing my sometimes anxious dog to a new place but Daniel has made it so that Hobie is now living his best life and has a new bestie!!! Highly recommend!”

“Jennie was very flexible and accomodating with scheduling an initial meeting and walking our dog while we had a last minute trip out of town. He can be a handful on walks and she did really well with him! On top of that, our flight got cancelled and Jennie was nice enough to walk and feed our dog an extra night and morning before we could get home! I really appreciated that she didn't just leave him to fend for himself alone and made time in her schedule to help us out!”

“It's not easy for me to leave my dogs with someone, especially someone I don't personally know, but I am so glad I was able to connect with Sarah to watch my dogs. My girls were loved and spoiled for the four days they stayed with her. You can feel the care she has for the pups she's watching through her updates and photos. Highly recommend you give her a chance when looking for trusted care for your dogs!”
“Courtney is Amazing!! We are from out of town visiting family who did not allow dogs on their property. She is quick to reply, sends lots of photos, is not afraid to ask questions and super flexible. We love her!! Our dog is a rescue who is emotionally and physically damaged. She took him with no problems. I highly recommend using her. Her husband and kids are amazing as well.”
“Jonathan was great! Easy to communicate with and sent pictures of Tucker while we were away, which was great! If you need pet care I definitely recommend!”
“Madeline and Christian are always so fantastic. Bailey loves going there and playing with their pup. They are awesome at communication, I feel so comfortable leaving Bailey with them and love getting photo updates. They are my go-to for pet sitting!”
“Rachel and Meg are the real deal. Our dogs (two 70lb handfuls) got daily park trips, adorable photo updates with genuinely funny captions, and the kind of care that goes above and beyond. Rachel even replaced a dog bed one of our dogs chewed up, no questions asked. That level of thoughtfulness is rare. Book them. They will treat your dogs like their own.”
“Patty & Mike are the best! They are friendly and treated my dog Luna so well. They sent me pictures throughout her stay and updated me regularly. I would highly recommend!”
“Laura is an amazing pet sitter. She checked in with me often and followed all of my directions. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her for a week. I highly recommend her.”
“Gisele and her partner took excellent care of my anxious dog Jack! I loved to see the long walks and adventures he went on with them while I was out of town.”
“Christy took great care of our pup while we were away! She was always quick to respond, flexible and kind. She gave us updates throughout our trip. Aspen came home worn out and happy. We will definitely be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Amber is amazing and tough! I adopted a crazy dog, and Amber and her kids handled her perfectly. She sent pics, took her to the park. I appreciate her last minute acceptance and her pricing is great! She is gracious and kind. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs care for their fur babies. She is trustworthy and experienced!”
“Samantha provides great care for Babin! She was also super accommodating when I had to add an extra night for Babin because I had gotten stuck in a snow storm and wasn't able to make it between the originally scheduled pick up times. I received daily video and photo updates of Babin playing with her new friends. She really seemed to have a great time! Thank you again!”
“Lexi was amazing! She was quick to respond and kept in communication the whole time we were traveling. I received pictures of my puppers and he seemed happy and healthy and well cared for every day. I would highly recommend Lexi and would definitely feel comfortable trusting her with my pup again.”
“Ashlie & Shiloh were amazing! My dog can take a little bit to warm up to people but by the time I picked her up she seemed to feel right at home. Ashlie was great at sending updates and pictures, Sadie looked comfortable and happy in all of them”
“Great sitter, our boy loves her! Attentive, great communication, flexible and sweet. We look forward to using her in the future and trusting her with our sweet boy.”
“Laura is great. She put my mind at ease from the start with her responsive communication and calm demeanor bwith my small poodle, Joey. She sent me photos every day and her communication throughout was great. Joey came home calm and content. I couldn't ask for more. Thanks Laura!”
“She was incredible with my 1 yr old baby, she was very patient and kept me in the loop at all times! I will definitely be booking with her again and am so appreciative. She made me feel relaxed the whole time she took care of my girl.”
“Courtney went above and beyond taking care of our dog. She even clipped his nails, expressed his glands, and gave him a full bath before pickup, which we really appreciated. Our pup can be pretty picky, high-maintenance, and honestly a bit spoiled, but she took such great care of him. He usually doesn’t do well with other dogs, but Courtney clearly understands dog behavior and body language. She carefully managed his interactions and helped him slowly become more comfortable around the other dogs—he even ended up playing with them! She also kept us updated with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so glad we found her, and it really looked like he had so much fun during his stay. We highly recommend Courtney and would absolutely ask her to watch him again the next time we go out of town!”
“Kerry was amazing! She took great care of our golden retriever while we were gone on a long trip. She took him on daily walks, sent pictures, and updates throughout the day. She is very kind and our dog loved her and her doggy Baldwin! Definitely recommend! Thanks Kerry”
“Once again, I am so happy to have found Briana and Manuel. Their family has watch our dog multiple time and I love how excited my dog is to see them and their children.”
“Josie was wonderful! She made sure Benson was comfy in her home and they had the best time! She sent so many photos of them enjoying their time together. Would absolutely book with her again!”
