“This was the second time Curtis and his wife took care of our dog, Bono, and once again they were amazing. They treated him like their own and gave us complete peace of mind over the holidays. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them again.”
“Delane was great! Very thoughtful, attentive, professional and complimentary. My little girl had a great time the six days she was there! She provided me with photos and updates and I was very happy and comfortable with the care my little one was receiving. I will DEFINITELY use Delane again, I HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Maggie was great with our little one! So kind, quick to respond, and caring. We really appreciated her love for dogs and her enthusiasm to care for our fur baby, highly recommend!”
“Alex was great! Very friendly and quick to reply. He was flexible with our travels, as well. Phife was excited to see him when we dropped him off, and seemed pretty worn after his stay - always good signs! We would definitely use him again.”
“We weren’t able to book our normal sitter for our dog reactive pup and thought we’d have to miss a family trip until we met with Chris. Chris met with us and our pup a couple times very close to the date of the trip a to make sure our dog was comfortable in the new environment with new person. Once it seemed like he was, we talked through our dogs reactivity with Chris who was very attentive and understanding. He even went out of his way to let his neighbor (who has a dog) know he’d have a reactive pup there which was very thoughtful. During the trip, Chris gave us great updates and we felt good knowing he was in good hands. If we need a sitter again for any period of time, Chris will definitely be top of mind. Thanks Chris!”
“Amy was great to work with! She gave Dixie a lot of love and attention with lots of updates! You can tell she loves dogs and is attentive to details. Would definitely recommend and would leave my girl with her anytime!”
About: My dog is my top priority, and yours will be too! I’m able to take your dog on hikes, runs, and have some fun time with my almost 2 year old husky/heeler mix. Lots of cuddles, exercise, and fun time, while ensuring proper dog to dog boundaries. I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time, and so am able to provide care for your pets throughout the day. I am unable to care for dogs under 1 year old. Additionally your dog must be: 1) dog friendly, with no history of aggression towards dogs 2) people friendly 3) house trained 4) sleeps through the night I have a fenced yard and one playful two year old husky/heeler mix. Care can include yard play time, leashed walks, hikes, or runs, depending on the needs of your dog! I am also able to keep up with training and obedience with your dog, whether that includes reactivity, leash walking, jumping etc. A meet and greet is required before I am able to book new dogs.
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Aubrey’s house. He had lots of furry friends to play with, spent time exploring outside and received many cuddles and love. Aubrey was wonderful at sending daily updates and pictures. Our pup came back exhausted from all the fun he had. Can’t wait to use Aubrey again next time we are away!”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
“Ruby loved her time at Kim’s! This was her first time boarding and she came out super happy after all of the socialization time with the other dogs and Kim’s son. Kim gave frequent updates and clearly took great care of her!”
“Emily took wonderful care of our pup Mara. We reached out very last minute for a weekend sitting request, and Emily even found time to meet us for a meet and greet the day before we dropped Mara off. She sent regular updates on how Mara was doing, and she was clearly having a great time with her, Emily’s dog Osito, and Emily’s son. Would 100% book with Emily again!”
“Stella had an amazing stay with Stephen and his family. It was a great experience all around and communication was great. Stella was taken very good care of and we would definitely use Stephen again for a sitter. Really appreciate how well she was taken care of! Thank you!”
“Sarah was incredibly communicative and helpful the entire time we were away. Our puppy went into heat while in her care, and Sarah handled everything with such attentiveness and care. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands.”
“Sophie was awesome, she did a great job communicating with me, and handled a last minute, slightly scattered booking like a boss. Bruno loved being at the house, and I will definitely be reaching out when I’m in Boulder again!”
“Julia is an absolute gem!! 💎 She greeted Kaya at her door and before I even had her bag out, she’d found Kaya’s favorite spot to be petted! I felt so comfortable knowing my girl was with a wonderful pet sitter, it helped make my weekend that much better. The communication was great - the photos and video of her enjoying her best life with Julia’s dog 🐶 and out walking made me smile and know I made the best decision for her. Highly recommend!!”

About: I grew up with two dogs and regularly dog sat and walked for about 8 years. I hope to continue this now that I live in boulder because I love and miss my dogs! I am a student, so my schedule varies but I am usually free in the mornings and late afternoons. Overall I have a very flexible schedule. I am a flexible person and can accommodate to mostly any needs. My current housing does not allow animals, I am more interested in walking
“Rikku was great! He got to know our cat Boots quickly and boots warmed right up to him. When we got home boots seemed happy and comfortable. Would recommend Rikku!”
“K was an amazing sitter and house guest!! Our girls were in such a happy mood, barely missed us which is such a great sign of being well taken care of. Button was very filled out (healthy and good from her meds) which is a balance many sitters don’t get exactly right. She also took great care of our house and many packages that arrived while we were away. 20/10 recommend for your pets and house!”
About: I just moved back to Colorado from Southern CA where I used work for a non-profit where I train dogs to become service dogs for individuals with disabilities! I can handle large groups of dogs and love giving special attention to any pet :) I had cats and dogs growing up and during college, I watched many of my friends’ dogs for a few hours, up to a few weeks. ** message me if you have scheduling questions! I can be more accommodating than this app’s calendar :) I work full-time, so I am looking to help watch pets on weekends and over the upcoming winter holiday season. I am comfortable staying at a client's home and doing longer-term pet care as long as the animal can be alone during the day for an 8 hour work day. If your home is near Oceanside, I can stop in during my lunch break to let your pets out to toilet. I will keep dogs on leash unless in a trusted, enclosed area. For safety reasons, I will not be using a Flexi-leash. I will always make sure your pet has ample clean water. I am more than happy to send photos and updates on your pet while they're in my care! As of July 12, I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross, and for my job, I have been trained to be alert to allergic reactions and typical dog stats.
About: I am a huge dog lover who loves fetching with them, playing with them, and giving them tons of loves!! I love walking them if that’s part of their routine, and am just overjoyed to be able to hang out with them and give them a safe space while their humans are away! I have had and cared for dogs for over a decade and am very comfortable with all breeds and schedules. I am a part time student who has plenty of time over the summer. I’m happy to stay at the home so that your dog is in their safe space. I am very big on making sure they get the exercise and play that they need to stay feeling happy! My work shifts from time to time will keep me out of the house for ~6 hours at a time, but if that is unfitting of your dogs needs I’m happy to ensure that my work doesn’t overlap with my time staying with them. I am careful to be aware of the dogs schedule in your home and ensure that feeding, exercise, and sleep routines are maintained to ensure your dogs comfort. I will always make sure to carefully adhere to instruction, I am here to make the best possible environment for your dog(s) and nothing less!
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Leandra! She was professional, responsive, and clearly passionate about animals. She followed all the instructions I provided and I received regular updates including text messages and photos which really put my mind at ease. When I returned home, my cat seemed happy, healthy, and well cared for — and my home was just as I left it. I will definitely hire Leandra again in the future!”
“Aspen was a great pet sitter for our two cats. Very responsive and communicative, clearly comfortable with cats, and managed to coax out our shy cat who normally hides from strangers. We would definitely book Aspen again for cat drop-ins.”

“We are very pleased to have found Chris. He was great with our senior dog who can have some anxiety with new places. Chris communicated well and is very kind. Zeke looks forward to his next visit!”
“Shanik and family are wonderful pet hosts. Mila loved to spend the days with them. She was happy to play ball outside in the snow for her first time. Shanik took care of Mila while my family and I were out skiing. Mila felt like she was home! Thank you!”
“Gus LOVED his time here. He got to play all day and every picture looked like the happiest guy on the block! It was also evident how much he loved it when I picked him up.. he didn’t want to leave! The only time he does that is with his foster mom. I would trust them any other time as they clearly made a paradise for my boy. Also their dog is so sweet and clearly a happy pup who loves to play. Last, great communication throughout the day!! Thank you again, Jessica!”

About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I can remember, and my favorite type of work/volunteering has always involved them. When I was 15 I started dog sitting for my family friend, I watched and walked little Johnny twice a week for almost 2 years while his mom was out doing errands. After that, I started volunteering at the LoveJoy Foundation, an animal rescue in California. I walked dogs, cleaned crates, and even helped with vaccinations once a week at adoption events! My time at LoveJoy was one of the most rewarding experiences ever, and it taught me how to work with different types of dogs and different behaviors, including neurodivergent and disabled pups. I have a family dog of my own, sweet Montana, who will always be my best friend no matter how far apart we are. Montana is a bit older now, so we mostly enjoy hanging out on the couch together, but in his prior years I loved taking him on hikes, to the dog beach, and really anywhere that I went. I also have a crested gecko named Axel! I’m currently a junior at CU Boulder, so I do have school during the week but only for about 2-3 hours each day, most of the time I’m home to care for a pup! I absolutely love being outside here in Boulder, it’s too beautiful not to be, so walks and adventures are plentiful! I have a large house for your pup to roam around, but if it’s preferred that he stays in a crate during the day I can accommodate that too! My yard isn’t fenced, but we would have a lot of outside time at the park and on walks exploring all corners of Boulder. I do have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, I know that some dogs are probably more comfortable staying in their own home!
About: I have experience for 40 years with animals. I have had cats, fish, giant dogs, small dogs and all those in between. I have had puppies and seniors, and I love them all. I work for myself so I can be home when I need to be. I can keep your pups routine so they are happy and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and 2 well behaved dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate avlb if your pup is crate trained.
About: I grew up with pets all over the house - dogs, cats, guinea pigs, chickens, etc. I love animals and would love to care for yours. I love taking dogs on adventures and playing with or cuddling cats! I have a 5 year old heeler mix of my own now as well who has been such a treat to care for. I work remotely, so I'm able to provide care to your pet the entire day, which is why we book sitters, right? I have a dog of my own who gets multiple walks and lots of care / stimulation throughout the day as well. I will always be respectful of your home while checking in on your pet and be sure to properly lock everything up before leaving so you don't have worry!

“Alison did an incredible job caring for Ari and making sure she had the best day with new dog friends! Ari had previous less than ideal experiences at doggy daycare, so we are so grateful to Alison for helping us rewrite that narrative for Ari.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and got one of my own as soon as I could. I love dogs and will treat yours as I would my own. We love to walk, hike, take the dogs swimming and fishing. My dog, Willie, is a sweet heart and will keep your dog company! Thanks for considering us and let us know if you have any questions! My boyfriend and I live together and he works full time from home and I’m in the office 3 days a week. Your pets will be well taken care of as we have lots of time to tend to them We have a shared backyard that we use for our dog and a park less than 5 minutes walking.

About: Hi, I'm Andi! I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember, and for 13 years I had my own dog by my side. I raised him on my own through all kinds of homes and lifestyle changes, from apartments to houses, with big yards and with no yard at all so I know that every dog (and owner!) has their own routine, personality, and needs. Over the years, I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, both in their homes and in mine. I genuinely love having a dog around the house, and enjoy the company, the personality, the walks, and even the little quirks that make them who they are. After losing my own dog, I’m not quite ready to make the commitment to bringing another dog into my life permanently. But I’ve realized I’d love to fill that space by welcoming other people’s dogs into my home and giving them the same kind of care and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your usual routines, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, a cozy spot on the couch, medication or special instructions, or simply plenty of companionship. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands and that they’ll get plenty of love while you’re away! work from home four days a week, so I’m home with plenty of flexibility throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I’m typically gone for about four hours or less, so I’m home more often than not. I’m an early riser and am very used to starting the day with a dog’s morning walk. I also have easy access to grass for quick potty breaks throughout the day, in addition to regular walks and playtime. Even on weekends, when I might go for a run, hike, or bike ride, I’m generally home for most of the day working on projects or relaxing. Overall, my schedule gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give dogs attention, exercise, companionship, and plenty of opportunities to get outside. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, and any special instructions from their owner. My home is clean, comfortable, and dog-friendly, with easy access to grass for potty breaks and plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and companionship. I’m home most of the time, so dogs aren’t typically left alone for long stretches. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tatum was so sweet with Piper and very responsive to our last minute request! I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Piper back to her again for any future stays. She seemed to have a great time with her!”
About: My family has owned all kinds of animals throughout my life. We’ve had geckos, dogs, cats, fish, and more. My exposure to this wide array of animals makes me the perfect pet sitter for whatever your family needs. I am comfortable with overnight stays, feeding, bathing, drop in visits, and more. Anything your pet needs, I’m happy to provide! I am currently a student at CU Boulder missing my puppies back at home more than anything. I have a pretty light class schedule this semester and would love nothing more than to spend my extra time with your animals! I am located walking distance from Chautauqua park and go there almost daily. I’d love the company of your pups and have sooo much love waiting for them. I have a fenced side yard and love walking distance from many walking trails. If your pets were staying with me, I’d take them on walks daily and be home with them majority of the day to let them out when needed. I also have a large car, so vehicle transportation to/from your home is available. If staying at a clients home, I would make time for whatever is necessary for your pet. I am flexible to your needs and highly adaptable to what works best for you and your pets!

About: Animals have always been my biggest passion, and caring for them brings immense joy to my life. With over a year of hands-on experience in pet sitting, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry family members. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether it's playtime, long walks, or just cozy cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am looking forward to dedicating myself even more to this work and building wonderful connections with both pets and their owners! I work during the day, but my schedule allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am also available for house sitting, meaning I can stay right at your home to keep your pets company and maintain their routine while you are away. Whether it is morning/evening walks, feeding times, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets receive consistent attention and care. Safety, cleanliness, and trust are my absolute top priorities. Coming from a background in childcare as a nanny, I am highly vigilant, responsible, and observant. I am also a very meticulous person when it comes to cleanliness and organization, meaning your pet will always be in a hygienic, hazard-free, and safe environment. I always ensure that doors and gates are secure, dangerous items are out of reach, and pets are closely supervised both indoors and during walks. You can trust that I will protect and care for your furry family member just as carefully as I would a child.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!
About: I have experience for 40 years with animals. I have had cats, fish, giant dogs, small dogs and all those in between. I have had puppies and seniors, and I love them all. I work for myself so I can be home when I need to be. I can keep your pups routine so they are happy and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and 2 well behaved dogs to keep your fur baby company.

“Jennifer has been so amazing with our dog and so amazing with our schedule. We have had several dog walkers, which were all great, but Jennifer always seems to go above and beyond for us and our pup.”
“Brad was super responsive from the beginning of the booking process to the actual service. He arrived on time, was super sweet with our dog and left informative notes. He clearly loves animals and getting out with them. I look forward to having Brad help us out again!”
About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!
About: I absolutely love dogs, and until recently, I had my own old, grumpy boy who taught me a lot about caring for dogs with unique needs. My family got our first dog when I was 13, and then welcomed another when I was 21. I was very involved in raising our second dog from puppyhood, so I have firsthand experience with the energy, patience, consistency, and supervision that young dogs require. About six years ago, I adopted my own dog from a shelter when he was already 8 years old. He had epilepsy and plenty of his own idiosyncrasies, which gave me experience caring for an older dog with medical needs and a very specific personality. I learned to pay close attention to changes in behavior, recognize when something was “off,” and adapt his care to what made him comfortable and happy. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior who needs a little extra patience, or somewhere in between, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently work part-time and study from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to adjust my routine to accommodate your pup’s needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply having someone around for companionship. I’m home much of the day and would love to give your dog plenty of attention while you’re away. I live in a ground-floor apartment with a fenced-in backyard, including a dog door that gives pups easy access to the yard when they need it. I love getting outside and exploring the area, and I’d be happy to bring your dog along for a local hike, a neighborhood walk, or some playtime in the yard. I also live with my boyfriend, who works from home and is around for most of the day. He’s always happy to give visiting pets some extra attention and love, but I will be responsible for all of their care and will be their primary caregiver throughout their stay.
About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs my when life, living with both. I know all of the things to keep them happy and healthy. There safety and health is my number 1 priority! I am currently working part time at a toy store in town, and all my other time would be devoted to these animals! I have a very flexible schedule and can fit a lot into my schedule! I have a fenced in backyard and have always had a dog! I love going on long walks and playing with cats in the house!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and comfort with pets who have special needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra support. I’m experienced in administering oral medications, using doggy diapers, and providing gentle, attentive care to aging pets. I’ve also cared for cats and understand their unique personalities and routines. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I currently volunteer at dog shelters and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, energy, and attention to the pets I care for. Since animals are already a big part of my life, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I always want the pets I care for to feel comfortable, happy, and truly fulfilled. Whether that means playtime with their favorite toys, a fun run outside, or a peaceful stroll, I tailor their care to what brings them joy. I make sure they have everything they need—plenty of food, water, comfort, and affection—so they never feel without or stressed. I'm incredibly attentive to their needs and committed to giving them my full care and focus. I also prioritize open communication with you, so you’ll always feel informed, reassured, and connected to your pet while you're away.
About: I love to take care of your animal however they need. I make sure they get good care while the parents are gone for the day! I am working full time at the hospital but would love to come hangout with your animal for a walk or longer! I am free very first thing in the morning around 7:30-8:15 then after 5! I have a gentle touch with dogs and cats so I am able to play, teach them and make sure they are comfortable with me
About: I have had a passion for animal care and providing companionship with them since I was a very small child. I have been doing this for 20 years now and there's nothing that I would rather do than spend time with cats and dogs. I work from home so I have a lot of availability to be with your pets. I am single with no children and a huge passion to be with animals. I have a three story town home and I'm surrounded by nature trails and all sorts of paths. I have a dog park right behind me and surrounded by nature trails that the Pet's absolutely love. Also very close to Valmont Dog Park!

Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks! I currently have a very open schedule, so your pets needs would be very prioritized throughout the day/night depending on the service I will be giving your pet! When caring for pets in a clients home it is very important to me to provide them with their proper food and water, regular exercise and playtime with them, plus any medication that needs to be administered if needed.

I live on five unfenced acres and walk my two dogs (always on leash) around Nederland, Sugarloaf, and surrounding areas of the Canyons. I’d be happy to go on leashed walks/hikes with your doggos! or if you have a yard, I’d be happy to watch your pup closely as we enjoy unleashed play time. I am accustomed to and prepared for mountain life and the variables it brings (wildlife, weather, fires, etc.).
About: I grew up with two dogs and regularly dog sat and walked for about 8 years. I hope to continue this now that I live in boulder because I love and miss my dogs! I am a student, so my schedule varies but I am usually free in the mornings and late afternoons. Overall I have a very flexible schedule. I am a flexible person and can accommodate to mostly any needs. My current housing does not allow animals, I am more interested in walking
About: I am respectful, kind, and trustworthy. Your pet(s)/household will be in safe, reliable hands with me. I have extensive experience with large dog breeds, too (grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs). I believe in treating others’ animals and property as I’d want someone to treat mine. Does your household have a particular routine or preferences? Just let me know. I want you and your family to be as comfortable as possible. If you need oral or subcutaneous medications administered, I would love to help keep your loved ones in the best health possible. House sitting engagements will leave your property as if I was never there and your pets well loved and treated with the decency all living beings deserve. Currently a parent of a husky named Thomas and three cats named Tony, Calypso, and Tut. Cats and dogs- I’ve had one or both my entire life. I use positive reinforcement training on my own. I work a set schedule Monday-Friday, so they will have consistency/stability throughout the weekdays. On the weekends, I’ll be available to spend the entire day with your fuzzy family members. How I care for your pets is strongly influenced by what you share with me. Household rules like crating, furniture rules, and routines will all be discussed with you and then adhered to during my stay. I also offer to bring in the mail, take out the trash, water the plants, and feed the goldfish. You know, those little details that matter.

About: Hello! I’m from Boston, MA and am in Boulder for graduate school. I grew up around cats, dogs, reptiles, hamster, you name it! I can’t have any animals in my current home and miss my cat and dog dearly. My family dog Moose (Silver Lab) is a therapy dog and I’ve had amazing experience with service dogs in the educational setting, so I have an understanding of the importance of animals in our lives. I can’t wait to bring my years of pet care experience and love to your furry family member:) As a grad student, my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to let your pet out midday, as well as support you and your pet during the typical 9-5. I additionally have a car and can easily reach areas outside of central Boulder. Due to the nature of school work and my research work, I’m able to be at home with your pet as consistently as you require. I’ve seen how pets can fear abandonment when their owners leave, so my ability to be present with your pet will not only support their health, but also their well-being. I believe I’m a very trust worthy individual, due to my experience as a high school teacher as well as my vetting process to become a funded PhD student. I take pride in the work I do, and that extends to caring for your pet.
“Rikku was so kind and was able to accommodate a last minute walk for our pup! They were really communicative about pickup and drop off. And of course our dog had a blast! Thank you!”
About: Hello pet parents! I hope you choose me to help care for your pets - I can't wait to meet them! I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I grew up with many varieties of animals among the years and numerous cats and dogs. I have always been a huge animal lover and can't wait until I have the property and space to home more friends! Until then, I am eager to meet others' animals and help take care of them and give them lots of love! The very first thing I have always done at new people's houses with animals is greet all of the animals. I am a highly energetic individual with a strong eye that seeks to pay attention to the needs of other beings. I am looking forward to hearing from you and your pets I make my own scheduled so I am highly flexible and available for caring for your pets! I have two cats and a fish that I give lots of love and attention daily - and looking forward to caring more for other animals too! I do not have a home space in which I am capable of taking in others animals currently, but I take care of the pets at the owners home this same way! First thing when I get home is to greet my pets and give them attention and love. I play for a little and then check to see the water bowl is full (and for my cats that the food is also - I know dogs are on a schedule). With dogs, I would regularly schedule times to take them out for walks - and make sure I match them for however they wanna walk! (Slow, adventurous, running a little faster) I make sure that I have plenty of plastic bags and treats to take with on the walk. I do not like to leave dogs alone for more than 2-4 hours. I love interacting with animals and giving them lots of attention!

“Georgia did a great job with my two dogs, they warmed up to her quickly and I felt that they were safe with her. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos.”
“Jax had a great time with Fred (Sean) and Kim during an extended trip (17 days). They had lots of activities lined up and took great care of him. Many thanks!”
“Alex was great! Very friendly and quick to reply. He was flexible with our travels, as well. Phife was excited to see him when we dropped him off, and seemed pretty worn after his stay - always good signs! We would definitely use him again.”
“We weren’t able to book our normal sitter for our dog reactive pup and thought we’d have to miss a family trip until we met with Chris. Chris met with us and our pup a couple times very close to the date of the trip a to make sure our dog was comfortable in the new environment with new person. Once it seemed like he was, we talked through our dogs reactivity with Chris who was very attentive and understanding. He even went out of his way to let his neighbor (who has a dog) know he’d have a reactive pup there which was very thoughtful. During the trip, Chris gave us great updates and we felt good knowing he was in good hands. If we need a sitter again for any period of time, Chris will definitely be top of mind. Thanks Chris!”
“Amy was great to work with! She gave Dixie a lot of love and attention with lots of updates! You can tell she loves dogs and is attentive to details. Would definitely recommend and would leave my girl with her anytime!”
About: My dog is my top priority, and yours will be too! I’m able to take your dog on hikes, runs, and have some fun time with my almost 2 year old husky/heeler mix. Lots of cuddles, exercise, and fun time, while ensuring proper dog to dog boundaries. I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time, and so am able to provide care for your pets throughout the day. I am unable to care for dogs under 1 year old. Additionally your dog must be: 1) dog friendly, with no history of aggression towards dogs 2) people friendly 3) house trained 4) sleeps through the night I have a fenced yard and one playful two year old husky/heeler mix. Care can include yard play time, leashed walks, hikes, or runs, depending on the needs of your dog! I am also able to keep up with training and obedience with your dog, whether that includes reactivity, leash walking, jumping etc. A meet and greet is required before I am able to book new dogs.
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Aubrey’s house. He had lots of furry friends to play with, spent time exploring outside and received many cuddles and love. Aubrey was wonderful at sending daily updates and pictures. Our pup came back exhausted from all the fun he had. Can’t wait to use Aubrey again next time we are away!”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
“Ruby loved her time at Kim’s! This was her first time boarding and she came out super happy after all of the socialization time with the other dogs and Kim’s son. Kim gave frequent updates and clearly took great care of her!”

“Julia is an absolute gem!! 💎 She greeted Kaya at her door and before I even had her bag out, she’d found Kaya’s favorite spot to be petted! I felt so comfortable knowing my girl was with a wonderful pet sitter, it helped make my weekend that much better. The communication was great - the photos and video of her enjoying her best life with Julia’s dog 🐶 and out walking made me smile and know I made the best decision for her. Highly recommend!!”
“Elise was just incredible! She took amazing care of my pup and I will absolutely be returning in the future. I especially appreciated the flexibility and understanding for my extenuating circumstances ❤️. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Maddy was very professional with great communication. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and it looked like my pup got LOTS of love and attention. Georgia was content and sleepy after pickup, so I know she had a great time and got a workout. Having a fenced backyard is also a big plus. I will definitely take Georgia to Maddy again for sitting.”
