House Sitting West Mercur

“As a pet sitter myself, I can be picky regarding who I pick to watch my animals. I am grateful to have found Monica and glad she was available during the busy holiday season. She great care of the animals, including my roommates pup. She sent pictures which made us feel great and took care of the home. We appreciate the care that was put into looking after the furbabies. Will use Monica again!”

About: I grew up LOVING dogs and cats and honestly all sorts of animals . I dont have any official training in veterinary practices, but I do feel I do know quite a bit of taking care of animals and making them feel safe and loved . I have two beagles I helped my father raise after we got them from a rescue and they are the best part of my life. I love animals I hope you consider me to animals sit so I can just spend time loving on animals. 😁👍 (I list my experience mainly caring for my beagles but I promise ive been caring for dogs for more than three years) I honestly love spending as much of my day taking care of dogs as I physically can, weather thats bringing them with me places, playing in the yard, or just giving pets. I always try to be with the animal (because as much is i love em sometimes they can get into trouble if not watched) I always make sure I know if foods are safe for animals first off no matter what if I dont know. Even if its treats honestly I still like to read for a second or two. Always make sure areas are safe too, make sure things are picked up so nothing can be grabbed by a doggo, and also if im letting them out to go potty I always keep track of where they are especially at night because things happen to fences all the time and dogs are smart.

“I trust Izzy to take great care for my dog and my home. Came home to a happy and healthy pup and an immaculate home. She’ll definitely be a go to for our dog.”

“Brody was amazing watching our puppy, Arlo. He sent updates, left the house clean, and provided amazing care. Can’t thank him enough for helping us out!”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly. We booked the week prior for an overnight so we could take a quick trip to CO for a concert. Kimberly was friendly & communicative the week leading up to the booking and checked in the evening before. She arrived at 6:30 am with such a warm energy and immediately won the pups over. Grimm seemed instantly attached to her! It was very sweet. I was a bit worried since it was our first time using Rover, & the first time leaving the boys with someone other than their grandparents. We felt comfortable with Kimberly right off the bat and we knew our boys were in good hands. I loved that she sent lots of photos & videos while we were away & let us know how well they were doing. She followed all care instructions perfectly. She even left us beautiful flowers she cut from her garden. I would 100% trust Kimberly to care for my furbabies again in the future. I feel blessed to have found and connected with such a good human. Thank you Kimberly! 💛🐾”

“Michelle is so awesome. Communication was perfect, took our whole crazy pack on daily walks while we were gone and even took care of our lizards. I already have her booked for another long trip.”

Jenny K.

“Brianna is amazing! She has come over several times for meet and greets to get to know my dogs. One of my pups can be difficult with her nervousness and separation anxiety. Briana has been kind, patient, and wonderful with both of them. She communicates well, responds quickly, and is always early or on time for scheduled sitting. Highly recommended! 💯🐕🐕”

“Kirk was fabulous! He was very communicative, took great care of our pup and left our place nicer than we left it. Will definitely use him again!”

Amy G.

“Sarah has always been able to put my very shy girl Diane at ease since she started watching her. Good communication and great pictures which also help me know Diane is being well taken care of. When Diane wasn't feeling well, Sarah got her to take medication which is no easy feat. Sarah is a wonder with my dog and I highly recommend her. She will be truly missed when she moves away.”

About: Hi, I’m Jay, and my wife Cindy is a full-time mom to our teenage daughter and our dog. Cindy grew up on a farm, which sparked her lifelong love for animals and plants. Over the years, we’ve cared for two Havanese dogs and a yellow Labrador Retriever. We currently have a very sweet female Havanese who gets along wonderfully with other dogs. Our daughter also loves playing with dogs and takes great care of them. We have a spacious, fenced yard where your small dog can play safely. We only accept hypoallergenic or non-shedding breeds. We generally welcome dogs weighing between 3 and 20 pounds and allow them to lounge on our couches. However, for safety reasons, we cannot accommodate aggressive dogs, so you may need to find another sitter in that case. Cindy is a full-time stay-at-home mom, so dogs in our care receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Our whole family genuinely loves having dogs around, and we treat every pup as part of our family while they’re with us. We’re happy to provide dog beds, bowls, toys, and a crate if needed. We’re typically available 24/7 and always make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Hello! I’m Jay’s wife, Cindy. I start my mornings at 6 AM by heading out to the backyard with the dogs, and I love making sure they’re well cared for throughout the day. Mealtime is one of my favorite moments with them, so if you have any specific requests regarding your dog’s food, please feel free to let me know anytime! When dogs visit for the first time, they often want to go outside to the backyard every 30 minutes to an hour. This is usually because they are curious and exploring their new environment, seeking comfort in open spaces, marking their territory, or simply adjusting their bathroom habits while settling in. I enjoy spending time outside with the dogs, watching them explore and playing fetch—especially when the weather is nice. Even when they’re just roaming around the backyard, I always keep an eye on them to ensure they’re safe. When it’s time for a nap, I let the dogs rest peacefully while I send updates to their owners. I love being home all day, sharing my time with the dogs and my family. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or needs some extra attention, I always tailor their care to ensure they’re comfortable and happy. Caring for dogs has been a big part of my life. Over the past five years, I’ve raised and nurtured dozens of Havanese and Labrador Retriever puppies before helping them find their forever homes. I also have a passion for photography! With my background in film, video production, and visual effects design, I love capturing special moments of the dogs through photos. I’m always happy to adjust to your dog’s preferences and needs, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any special requests or questions!

“Our cats seemed very happy and well taken care of when. We returned home. Janica respected our space and cleaned up after herself. Our cats decided to not use the robot little box as usual and she was great about keeping the regular litter box clean.”

“Makayla dog sat at our house for a week and did a great job. We felt at ease knowing that our pup was being taken care of. She sent photo updates. She was responsive and communicative and very polite. Will hire again!”

About: I've been caring for pets since I was 10, growing up with a variety of animals and learning the basics of pet care. However, at 18, my approach became much more serious when I adopted an 8 week old Great Pyrenees named Kodiak who had significant health, behavioral, and medical issues. This experience taught me a great deal about managing complex health challenges, addressing behavioral problems, and providing specialized care, which deepened my commitment to responsible pet ownership and caregiving. Animals have always had a special place in my heart and with Kodiak's ailments, I realized how difficult it can be to find high-quality pet sitters especially for pets requiring more assistance, patience, and time. I would love to provide reliable and trustworthy care to every and all pets, and if you have a dog who is a little more picky and high-maintenanced with who they allow in your home, then I would love to be the one to start building that trust with you and your pup. Thank you again for considering and trusting me to be part of your pups and your lives! Please reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns. :) I am self-employed so I have lots of flexibility in my schedule! I walk my own dogs 1-2x a day and love to exercise them especially in new places For boarding - I have a fenced yard with neighbors who also have dogs so barking is not an issue or concern. We live close to several fenced off-leash dog parks and public parks to allow additional room for your pup to roam! I also have made walks a priority first thing in the mornings and evenings with our current 2 dogs. For walking/check-ups- I promise to follow direct instructions and orders you provide. I promise to reach out to you directly if I have any concerns or questions on specific care, restrictions, permissions, etc. rather than assuming. I will make informed, safe decisions on your pets care if I cannot get in touch with you.

“April is so amazing. She watched our boy while we were traveling abroad and we didn't have a worry in the world while he was in her care. She was prompt, communicative, and our dog looked so happy and content in every photo she sent us. She took wonderful care of our home while she was sitting as well. April is a gem!”

Katie B.

“Brianne sat for me last minute and took great care of my two dogs - a GSD and toy maltipoo. She was easy to coordinate with and sent photos and updates regularly which I appreciated! I'd happily rebook her.”

Stephanie P.

“Such a piece of mind having Alexandra here to watch our two girls! She kept us updated the whole time and cared for our two dogs as if they were her own. Would definitely recommend.”

Shan W.

“Misha was so sweet and kept in touch with me throughout her stay at my house. I Can always tell when my dogs didn’t like the sitter once I get home but they seemed so happy! Misha even did my dishes haha would absolutely recommend”

“We are truly grateful for finding Maxton. We could not have had a better experience in obtaining a professional in home sitter. Our dog, Corporal, has an Assistant Dogs International (ADI) certification and travels with us everywhere. The longest amount of time that my spouse has been separated from Corporal (until this last week) is 2.5 days. Just days prior to our most recent trip, Corporal tore her CCL. Finding someone on short notice who was able to provide care and comfort to Corporal was a major stressor. Maxton was more than willing to come to our home prior to booking to meet Corporal and us and alleviated many of concerns. Upon leaving for our trip, any remaining concerns were soon alleviated. Maxton not only provided care to Corporal, but to my spouse and me as well. Beyond updates and photos, he showed true empathy for two people whose dog plays a critical role in their lives.”
