“Terry was an outstanding caregiver to our sweet kitty. Communication was excellent - very quick to reply and friendly. She spent time getting to know our kitty and we felt very comfortable with her in our home. She took great care of our fur baby and we will definitely use her again. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Karissa! She’s reliable, caring, and treat my pets like family. She has also been wonderfully flexible with my schedule, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend!”

“We visited Montrose for two weeks and needed someone to check on our two tiny old dogs while we were out hiking, etc. We found Sandi on Rover and she was just what we needed—reliable and kind to our two old girls. We would definitely use her again.”
“Hayley was wonderful watching Luna for 3 days! She was very reliable and sent helpful updates on her eating, playing, and outside time. The photo updates were great, and it made me laugh that Luna’s 'tortitude' didn’t fade until Hayley broke out the Churus! So grateful I found Hayley and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”

“Katy did an excellent job taking care of my older kitty! He has to have medicine 2x a day and Katy took care of it with no problems. It was a great relief to have her check in on him and spend time with him everyday.”

“Thank you Betty for taking the time to have a meet n greet with me and my dog beforehand. You were on time for the drop in and replied quickly to my texts. Thanks again!”

About: Hi there! I am a pet sitter with 7 years of professional experience and I’ve loved every second of it! I have just moved on from working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Park City Utah, where I was in charge of the health and happiness of many families loved fur babies. I think I had more fun there than they did, and that’s saying something! When your life gets busy and you can’t take the pets, I’d love to love them for you! This is my full time job, so just check the schedule and see what time I have available for you. I like to book a week ahead. I can only come to your home to over night board pets. Unfortunately my home is a bit chaotic and I’ve found pets are more relaxed in their safe environment. This could be changed in the future the more I get to know the pet. For daily pop-ins, I leave it open to you and what your pet would like most. Walks around your neighborhood, walks on trails in Montrose, or the dog park. Completely customizable.
“Thank goodness for Hillary! She has been such a help while our house has been under construction! Our dog, Cash, absolutely LOVES her and we appreciate it so much that she gives him so much love and attention while she's here! She is responsible, dependable, kind, caring, and professional. I would HIGHLY recommend Hillary to take care of your dog! I defiinitely trust her with my baby!”
