“Tiffany was amazing! I have a pretty high maintenance cat who enjoys playing, cuddling, and being around people in general! She has a cat room with a litter box, cat tree, and a bunch of cat toys. Initially when I did the meet and greet she said she sent a picture a day, and even though Sirius-Snape’s visit was short she sent me pictures at least 2-3 times a day! If you really need someone to watch cat or dog, then I would highly recommend Tiffany! Tiffany, is also very flexible with drop off, and pick up, is very communicative, and can tell that she loves watching cats, and dogs. I couldn’t have found a better person to watch my cat Sirius-Snape for a long weekend!”

Very appreciative of how accommodating Doby was with Lux’s idiosyncrasies and I would certainly recommend.”
“Hannah was so great with our Fiona - she was great with updates and even offered to talk Fiona on a little hike one of the days we were gone. Hannah was a great communicator and despite some travel delays, was flexible with the drop off & pickup times on either side of the trip. We’ll certainly book with Hannah again in the future!”

“Jessie was absolutely amazing. Orion can be temperamental sometimes, but she was able to keep him interested and burn out his energy during play. She was great at communicating with myself and my roommate who needed to let her in the apartment while I was away. She also was wonderful at sending updates and pics of Orion. Super pleased, cannot recommend her enough. I will definitely be requesting her to help in the future!”
“Diego was the absolute best cat sitter we could’ve asked for! He went above and beyond to care for our cats and treated them with so much love and attention.

“Lana was amazing!! She took such great care of my two kitties while I was in Europe for a couple weeks. My cats were very lonely and anxious to be alone, but Lana took such great care of them, and eased my cat-mom anxiety by sending me lots of photos & updates! She also communicated with my best friend who was also checking on the cats while I was away. My kitties were in SUCH great hands and I fully recommend Lana! 💛💛”

Our girls were happy to see her each day. Would definitely recommend.”

“Flaminia took such great care of my puppy! He’s a 9-month old border collie - Dalmatian mix, so he’s not exactly easy to tire out, but he slept all evening after spending the day with her and seemed like he had a great day! She also had great communication and was easy to get to. We would definitely use her again :)”

“Eric is a great dog sitter! My dog is older and I worry about him being in new places, but I felt confident that Eric would take great care of him. Eric was very communicative and I will definitely have him watch my fur baby again!”
“Scott and Rachel were so amazing with our one year old girl Murphy. Scott took Murphy on walks and played with her throughout the day and it was clear she was living her very best life. Usually when I pick her up from daycare she’s eager to go home but she hopped right back up on the couch to get in some final snuggles with Scott. We are Incredibly grateful to find such wonderful sitters in the neighborhood!”
“Winnie had a great time at Jessica’s house playing with Reggie and Frankie! Great backyard to explore, and great communication. Would definitely book again!”
About: As a lifetime animal lover, I've had the pleasure of being a pet parent, rescue pup foster mom, and repeat sitter for friends & family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and many different medical needs. I work from home, so I will be with your pup the majority of the time. I do not have a yard but I take multiple daily dog walks (plus a final potty break before bed). I'm centrally located in Denver and live with one 65-lb mixed breed dog and a small bird (caged while around dogs). My dog has welcomed a variety of other dogs into our home and has always been very friendly. I live across from a park, which is perfect for meet-and-greets with other dogs on neutral ground. I allow my dog on furniture and I don't feed her from the table. I am happy to keep consistent with rules and habits you prefer your dog to follow! In case of emergency, I have go-to vets for both regular and 24-hour care but am happy to default to your preferred vet.
“Darius picked up my dogs right on time and dropped them off with a good cushion for me! Ben and Hazel looked relaxed with him. He also handled Ben well after Ben was jumping on him. Ben just followed his lead which shows that hes a confident leash handler because Ben can give me a run for my money sometimes on the leash”
About: I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’ll be sure to send you pup selfies and give your dog plenty of love throughout the stay! I treat all animals like my own. The dogs always leave happy and get excited when they return to me. I am very active and can walk any size dog. I also have a Toy Schnauzer who loves friends! I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them a comfortable and loving home while you’re away. Your pet will be in good hands :) I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to tend to your dog and get them out and exercising! 7 days a week Your dog will be fed when needed and have ample blankets, toys, and beds to lay on. Plenty of time outside and playtime with mine inside!
About: Why Choose Me? As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can genuinely trust. I rely on pet sitters when traveling, so I've experienced firsthand the concerns that come with leaving a beloved family member in someone else's care. Because of that, I strive to provide the kind of service and communication I would want for my own pets. One thing that sets me apart is that I am home most of the day, allowing me to provide a highly attentive and personalized experience. Your dog won't simply be left alone waiting for the next potty break. Depending on their personality, energy level, and your preferences, I can provide long walks, outdoor adventures, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I believe every pet is different, which is why I take the time to follow your routines and preferences closely. Whether your pet thrives on activity or prefers a quieter environment, I work to make their stay comfortable, safe, and stress-free. My goal is simple: to treat your pet like a member of my own family while keeping you updated and confident that they're receiving excellent care every step of the way. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Because I am home most of the day, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and feeding schedules throughout the day rather than fitting pet care around a busy schedule. Let me know any special request your pet has, and I’ll follow your instructions to the dot. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.
About: We’re a dog-loving duo, and caring for furry friends has been a part of our lives for as long as we can remember. We’ve grown up with golden retrievers, doodles, and shih tzus, and now share our home with our own pup, Archie a (2-year-old mini bernedoodle). Archie has a moderate energy level, making him a great companion for senior dogs or smaller pups who prefer a relaxed environment. We live in a comfortable home with a small, fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for midday potty breaks and fresh air. I also volunteer as a dog walker for a local rescue, so I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments and personalities. Both Ryan and I work from home, which means your dog will have plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. We treat every pet like family and focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. We’d love the opportunity to care for your pup and make them feel right at home! 🐾 Ryan & I both work from home, so we’ll have plenty of time to play with and love on your furry friends. Both of us run and walk daily, perfect for dogs with high energy levels! We have a fenced-in backyard and a two year old bernedoodle, perfect for keeping your pup company. Ryan & I both work from home and can provide daytime love, walks, and companionship. If your pup prefers being crated for durations of the day, we have two medium size crates available or welcome your own!
“Jamie was awesome! She was very fast to respond and communicative throughout the day of how Meadows was doing. Definitely recommend her and plan to use her in the future.”
“Both my dogs settled in record time! Lindsay provided updates, report cards and plenty of pictures. It was a relief to see my pets sleeping on their backs next Lindsay. Her genuine love for pets was apparent from the first moment we all met. We are grateful to have found Lindsay and we wish her the best!”
About: I have loved animals my entire life and have good experience taking care of dogs and cats of all kind. I volunteered at the Humane Society as a kid, and grew up with cats. Today, I have a dog with my boyfriend that I love to take care of. I know firsthand how wonderful it is to find someone you trust to care for your babies while you’re out of town! I am dedicated to making you feel reassured and confident that your animals are in great hands, so you can enjoy your time away. I work remotely, so I have the ability to help out often during the week day as needed. I have lots of free time at night and also during weekends. I have experience caring for pets in their homes and can crate them as needed. I am a trustworthy and reliable person and will provide many updates so that you can be confident your baby is in great hands.
“Ayla was so wonderful! My dog is older and blind, and we came from out of town. Ayla was so good with my dog, he loved her! She was very communicative, flexible, and gave lots of picture updates which I appreciate. I highly recommend her to watch your fur baby!!”

“Emily was great! Easy to schedule on short notice, communicative, punctual, and followed any instructions I gave. I noticed she went above and beyond and took extra time before starting the walk timer to get to know my dogs and let them get comfortable with her!”
“Mary is a very reliable pet sitter. We have used her twice now and each time she has shown great care for our animals in addition to her professionalism, friendliness, and respect.”
“Kristine was amazing!! I would highly recommend her. She sent pictures and videos of my dogs. They really liked her and she was patient with them. She threw the ball for them as well so they can get their energy out during her drop in.”
About: I am only available work 11 am to 5 pm. I worked in a shelter and helped out a little with the dogs and have had pets my whole life. I get along very well with animals, including very shy animals. I'm a freelance artist with a very free schedule and I can drop in anytime that you may need me to be there. I understand the regularity of a pet's schedule is very important! I can crate a pet if needed and am very careful with an animal's boundaries to insure safety and comfort for your pet and myself.
“Kennedy was amazing with my pup! She was able to come over last minute for me to take my 6 month old pup on a walk while I was stuck on work calls. Highly recommend and appreciate her help!”
About: I have been working with animals practically my entire life, my family used to foster dogs and cats. I currently work full time at Church Ranch Veterinary Center and care for all types of animals. I am well versed in administering medications (insulin might be tricky with my schedule). I love getting to know the animals I work with and promise to take great care of your fur babies while you’re away! My schedule is a bit different every week. My usual week is Monday: OFF or 6-3, Tuesday: 6-3, Wednesday: 6-4, Thursday: OFF, Friday: 6-4, Saturday: 6-10 or OFF, Sunday: 6-10 or 2-5. I will make sure to feed them as close to meal times as I can if it’s house sitting. I usually can give 3 walks a day when I work, and 4 when I’m off. I will make sure to prepare food exactly how you make it (if you give me instructions). Dog walking I will come into your home and gather the dog/s to take them out at the designated time, and we will walk either the path you would like me to take or a mile around; I will return the dogs how I found them and make sure to close and lock your home.
“Rachel was amazing with our elderly dog & cat. She was very considerate of their needs, loving towards them, and clearly communicated with us. I would definitely recommend her service and will be using her again!”
About: I've been dog-sitting since my late teens so over 10 years now! I have been more consistently watching dogs since I moved to Colorado for the last 7 years. I have experience watching and caring for senior dogs as well. I am currently in between jobs or looking for another one, so I have more time to spend with your pets and make sure they get the care they need! I can fully take care of your pets in your home so there is no added stress for them leaving the house! I am able to stay at your home so they will have familiarity and comfort with me being there.
About: I've raised and trained animals big to small and everything in between. Dogs are my specialty, former Petco Dog Trainer turned freelance. I've also done Animal Assistance Therapy, ESA and Service Animal Training. Currently own and operate my own company so my flexibility is superb as I work remotely. If you need a qualified professional that can give your fluffy pal the attention they need while you're busy, look no further. I can care for your fur babies exact needs with proper instructions on their specific needs. Wether it's just walking around, providing food/water and potty breaks, or anything else they might need; you can be sure your fur babies are taken care of.
“Laynie has been great with my pups. She’s very responsive, sends great notes, and is communicative throughout the day to let me know when she’s heading to my place to start their walk. Very reliable! Would happily book again.”
“We needed to change dogwalkers a few weeks ago, and Madison has been stellar from the jump! Great communication, punctual, numerous pictures from each walk...we're super happy how things are going, and our dog seems to be, as well. :)”
“Katie came with a last minute's notice since I was sick. She is friendly and great with communication. She was even willing to separate my pup's walk from another client's since my pup can be leash aggressive at times. Kira (my dog) came back smiling ear to ear. Katie managed to get in 2.5 miles in an hour, so Kira got enough exercise to hold her over until I could walk her today.”
“Kim agreed to walk my pup on Thanksgiving the day before it. She walked her twice and came back to feed her also. She also picked up my key and dropped it off. We paid her extra for all the running around although she smiled the whole time and never asked. Overall, a really good experience, and I’ll be reaching out again in the future.”
“Rachel was wonderful with my dog and extra communicative. She took her time on each walk and made sure to include detailed updates after. I will definitely rebook with Rachel in the future”

“Joseph was very responsive and our pups came back happy which is always a good sign. We even have a 20 week old puppy and he did great with them. I would recommend him to anyone.”
“Hannah was so great with our Fiona - she was great with updates and even offered to talk Fiona on a little hike one of the days we were gone. Hannah was a great communicator and despite some travel delays, was flexible with the drop off & pickup times on either side of the trip. We’ll certainly book with Hannah again in the future!”
“Jillian was great! Sent daily pictures/videos, cared for our Millie girl like her own. In fact Millie has so much fun she was disappointed to leave when we picked her up haha! 10/10 would use Jillian again!”

“Dana was great with our dog. She sent pictures and communicated regularly. We appreciated meeting her family and dog too! It's always nice to see the environment, people, and pets your dog will be spending time with during the stay. Will definitely use Dana in the future!”
“Zory + Kent provided more than just a boarding solution for Karoo - they gave her a full-on multi day retreat full of her favorite things; she was wrapped up in endless attention and love. They genuinely adopted Karoo as their grandchild and they will be my 1st choice anytime I need to use Rover again in the future. At our meet and greet, I developed trust for them immediately. They gave me 2 pieces of paper to take home and fill out to ensure they knew about all of Karoo's favorite things, habits, emergency contacts, etc. As Zory sent me her incredibly cute/informative updates throughout the weekend, I could tell she was curating the weekend to intentionally make Karoo as happy and fulfilled as possible. I will recommend Zory + Kent to all of the dog owners I know and I'm sure Karoo will be extremely excited to go back again in the future.”
“Kyle took great care of our 1 yr old pup. He was quick to respond, was open to having our dog and his dog meet beforehand, and kept us updated while we were out of town! Plus his dog is very sweet and was a great companion to have to keep our dog company.”
“Rachel and Scott are a lovely couple. My sweet girl is a sensitive GSD and she was soo happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I was concerned a little that they don’t have a dog for Rousse to play with, boy was I wrong to worry. They were watching one other dog who was energetic and sweet named Moo Lol. Great to see Rousse play, though I think this active couple would keep her busy with walks to the beautiful park a few blocks away or hiking if they weren’t watching a dog. So sorry they lost their baby and glad Rousse was lucky to enjoy all the puppy love they have to give. Thank you!”
“Chloe and Josh were great!!! Super responsive and sent great updates. I know Otis had a great time with them and I will definitely reach out to them again!!”
“She’s such a sweet soul! Our boy had a wonderful time with her!! She is extremely caring and ensures she knows every detail to provide the best love to your fur baby.”
“Janet took such good care of our dog! She communicated regularly which gave me comfort and clearly treated Nala as her own. We're so pleased and grateful for her. We've already booked our dog's next stay. I know I've found a real gem! I would highly recommend Janet to anyone wanting quality, kind, personalized attention for their dog.”
“Scot did a fantastic job taking care of my pups while I was out of town. I have never brought any of my dogs back from boarding as relaxed and healthy as I have this time after they stayed with him.”
