“Katie just watched our 4 cats for the second time this Christmas weekend (drop-in visits) and she did a great job! The kitties are always happy to see her and she spends a lot of time making sure they are happy and fed before leaving. We are always a little nervous leaving our cats alone for extended periods of time and having them able to stay at home and have her come to our house to cuddle and feed them makes our vacations a lot less stressful!”

“This was my first time using a pet sitter on the app, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She was super communicative throughout, which really helped put me at ease. I felt totally comfortable knowing she was there to check in and take care of Kiki. She would often stay longer than the required 30 minutes, which was really nice. Highly recommend!”

About: I had many pets growing up, but I don't currently have any of my own. I love animals and so, for many years, I have filled the pet void by taking care of my friends animals as needed. For 2-6 weeks at a time on some occasions. Its great to know that I'm giving people peace of mind when they are away from their pets. My friends know that their dogs are getting spoiled with outdoor adventures and cuddles on the couch. You shouldn't have to worry about your furry friends when you leave town. Going for a dog walk easily becomes the best part of my day, and so offering my service to folks beyond my immediate friend group seems like a really enjoyable way for me to make some extra cash. I work from home full time, Monday through Friday, and I have a very flexible day-to-day schedule that allows me to provide constant supervision and take frequent breaks throughout the day for sun, exercise, playing and pets. I have a working vehicle that is dog friendly. I am happy to go to the dog park and explore hiking trails, but I also live on a farm and the property is fully fenced in. I have experience taking care of dogs that have recently had surgery and require carrying up/down stairs and lifting in/out of the car, have needed meds both orally and via injection, elderly dogs that need frequent trips outside, and high anxiety dogs that need close contact and attention and don't do well with other animal interactions. I am happy to meet individual pet needs based on health, personality, etc...

“Andrew is fantastic with our shy cats and super reliable. He has great communication and sends us lots of cute photos of our girls! We'll definitely have Andrew watch our kitties again!”

About: My heart has always belonged to dogs. I grew up alongside many beautiful and loyal pets who I learned to care for. I have worked with senior dogs that require medications or special assistance. In 2022 I worked as a nanny and caretaker to a beautiful high energy shepherd that was a very stubborn walker. I learned to use commands, treats, and a head collar to help keep her in control so I could focus on the children during walks. I am so grateful to learn from the pets I work with. I have been able to apply much of what I learned from her training to teach my own stubborn pup to walk without ripping my arm off. I currently work as a daycare attendant at Happy Dog Daycare in Eureka. I love working with the huge variety of breeds and personalities that walk through the door everyday. I am pet CPR and First Aid Certified. Drop-In visits on weekdays will be available either 6am-12pm or 1pm-12am depending on my schedule for the week. Weekend visits may be scheduled anytime. Multiple visits may be booked each day. House sitting is available all week. I work during the week so pets must be able to be safely left unattended for up to 6 hours during the day. If your pet loves others and is fully vaccinated consider signing them up for Happy Dog Daycare for days you have to be away! (Will shuttle for existing clients. Subtract $14-22 from Rover price on days pet attends daycare. Client is responsible for daycare fees) Weekend pet sitting is open, I can be available 24/7 to care for your pet and home! HOUSESITTING - I am happy to accommodate your pet's specific routine as well as provide playtime and outings. Let's chat about your pup's needs so we can ensure they can have a fear free booking!. I want to ensure your pet is as comfortable and loved as possible while you're away. DROP-IN VISITS - 30 minutes typically includes feeding, changing water, potty break, and playtime. I am open to doing short 10-15 minute walks during drop-ins. 1 hour drop-in visits include feeding, changing water, walk and playtime suited to your dog’s needs. I suggest 1 hour visits if your dog is high energy or needs extra attention.

About: I have always had animals around as a child, from small house pets to larger livestock animals, and am used to animals of all kinds. I used to volunteered at an animal shelter in my hometown and have built experience through leash training the dogs, as well as cleaning their kennels, feeding and loving them. I have dog sat for people in my hometown overnight and have walked several dogs for neighbors or family friends for extra money and loved doing that. I am a huge fan of cats so I would be thrilled to watch your cat as well. I am a good choice for a dog sitter/walker because I am friendly and patient, and willing to accommodate to your pet's needs as much as you would like me to. I am a part time college student so am free most of the day everyday. This leaves plenty of time for pet care during my week. I care for pets in my/ the pet owners environment by catering to the needs of their pet, however that may look for the specific animal.

About: Dogs have been my constant companions throughout my life, and I've loved training and caring for them every step of the way. Currently volunteering with the La Plata County Humane Society has only deepened my commitment to animal welfare. Since I work from home, your pet will rarely be alone. I'll keep you connected with plenty of photos and updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Since I work from home, your pet will rarely be alone. I do not have any hobbies or obligations that would take me away from them for more than a few hours. If your pet has any special needs, I am sure I can accommodate. I will care for your pets however you may wish! I love playing with dogs, taking them on walks or to the dog park, or simply lounging at home with them. If your pet has any special needs, I am sure I can accommodate.

“Michaela checked on my two cats while I was away on an international vacation. When I returned the cats looked happy and well cared for. It gave me peace of mind to know that a reliable person was making sure they had everything they needed.”

About: I am a working professional that will be doing this for some fun and extra income. This will be my first time doing pet care for people I do not know. In the past I have helped friends and neighbors when they were leaving town by watching their animals. In the past I ran my own cleaning business and often did minimal animal care while cleaning homes. I have a dog myself (Indie) and can understand the stress that comes with hiring a pet sitter or kenneling your pet. I hope I can help to provide a stress free option for pet care. You can be confident your animal will be getting the best possible care while you are away. I am offering walks in your neighborhood or longer hikes in the area accompanied by my dog, drop-in visits, and overnight sitting at your home. I wish I could offer boarding at my house but my landlord will not allow other dogs in my home. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me please don't hesitate to contact me!

“Patricia is amazing! This is the second time she’s watched my cats while I’ve been out of town, and I will always look to see if she’s available in the future. She keeps me up to date with how they’re doing, spends quality time with them and sends lots of photos. Thank you Patricia!! :)”

“Lori cared for my two kitties for 5.5 days. She came twice a day to play with them and feed them which allowed me a stress free trip. They loved playing with her.”

“Deb was amazing! This was my first time leaving my kitten with a sitter, so I was nervous, but after the meet and greet I had full confidence that Deb would be great with her. I got lots of photos while I was gone, and I know my cat loved her.”
