“Melissa was excellent! She sent us multiple pics of our sweet boy and it looked like he had a great visit. We had peace of mind knowing that she checked on him and fed him. She came by to meet Woody earlier in the week which was also reassuring. Thanks Melissa!”
“Lindsay is wonderful! She took care of my senior kitty while I was away and went above and beyond. She is communicative, kind, and very sweet to my shy girl. Sandy warmed right up to her and Lindsay sends great photos and updates. Thank you again!”
“Megan did a wonderful job. He seemed to have fun with her and felt comfortable. I also appreciated that she noticed that he ate all his breakfast and that he will need to poop. Will definitely rehire Megan I'd she is willing to come back!”
“Holly has done a great job on multiple drop-in visits for my cat! Her availability has worked out great with my schedule and she is always timely and professional. My cat always seems happy and well looked-after when I come home :)”
“Terri did an afternoon drop-in, after a meet & greet with our pups. She was on-time, thorough, & communicative. We so appreciate her as part of our care team when we’re away from home.”
“Phinea watched my two cats for a week while I was out of town. She was AMAZING!!! She gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell immediately that Phinea *knows* cats by the way she introduced herself to my cats and the way they immediately felt comfortable with her. She sent me loads of pics each visit and detailed notes, and it was obviously my kitties were getting lots of love & attention and were having so much fun playing with her. I will 100% be hiring Phinea again next time I go out of town. 10/10 !!!!”
“Ryan was awesome. She set up a meet and greet to get to know my pup and from there it was an easy decision to make on my part. I really enjoyed getting the visit updates from her while I was at work. I will definitely be using Ryan in the future. It’s a relief to have someone I can trust with my puppy.”
“I’m so grateful for Megan. She was able to watch my pup with short notice. She was very kind and kept me up to date how my guy was doing. I could tell he was in great care with Megan. She let me know before she was leaving and I would love to work with her again! 11/10 stars!”
“If Jessica has availability, I always prefer to book with her. She takes such great care of our kitties and goes above and beyond. Despite how fussy our kitties can be at times, she always cares for them as if she were their owner.”
“Adri has been an absolute delight to work with! She is great with my dog, Fermi, who can be pretty shy and nervous, is very responsive over text, and has rearranged her schedule to work with what we need. I would absolutely recommend Adri to others looking to get their pup some love while they are out and about.”
“Liz was the best cat sitter!! She did a meet-and-greet beforehand to familiarize our cats with her. She remembered where our shy kitty’s hiding spot was and snapped a pic when she could. She went above and beyond, and we would definitely recommend!”
“Bethany does a great job taking care of our cat. She spends time playing with him and giving him his favorite squeeze treats. She is responsive to messages and sends plenty of pictures and updates on her visits.”
“Rachel is absolutely wonderful. She took wonderful care of my cat, and provided an additional emergency, last minute booking. I would highly recommend her to take care of your pet.”
“Aaron was one of the best dog walkers I’ve had. He went above and beyond. He was very responsive and sent pictures. Kona had such a great time and was definitely tired from all the exercise. I will definitely be booking again!”
About: I’m a zookeeper at the Denver zoo and I’ve been taking care of exotics and domestics since I was a child. I’ve been in the zoo field for almost seven years and grew up on a ranch with horses, cattle, dogs and cats in Texas. I have a full time job at the zoo, but I get off rather early and my afternoons and evenings are relatively open. I am a morning person, so getting up before work is also no problem. I have a fenced yard for my two older dogs, Hank and Daphne. They are indoor/outdoor dogs, weather dependent. They constantly have access to beds, water and food. My cats are indoor, with supervision outdoors so they can stretch and enjoy some sunshine.
“Janelle was wonderful with my dog. Great daily updates and really nice photos! She was very kind and professional and I hope to have her sit again! Thank you, Janelle!”
