“As a nervous cat mom, I was worried about finding someone I could trust to care for Daisy. Jenny put me at ease immediately when we met and shared stories about her own cats I could relate to. I felt comfortable leaving Daisy knowing Jenny would take good care of her. Her notes about her visits were so helpful and Daisy was well fed and cared for when I returned. This was a wonderful experience for both Daisy and I.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs every kind for as long as I can remember weather it was for my parents, friends and neighbors. They have trusted in me to make sure they being taken care of I’m currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time on my hands to care for your fur babies and I’ve also grown up my whole life with animals in my house I have a fenced in yard and and a 6 month old puppy that will keep your fur baby company. I love to play with fur babies

“Crystal has been an amazing sitter while I’ve been out of town for work. Great communication, sent pictures and kept me updated on everything going on when she arrived and left my house. She took excellent care of my three dogs, including my senior pup who needs a little extra attention. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her for all your pet sitting needs!”

“Courtney is truly amazing! I had a last minute request and she responded the same day and I was lucky enough that she was available. Very professional and friendly. She absolutely listens to what you need and does it all. I am definitely a repeating client.”

About: I specialize in medical animal care, and special needs clients. I know a lot of basic injury/ER care treatments and you can feel safe with your special needs babies in my care 💕 Starting at very young, before I could even say it correctly, I was always excited to tell people that I wanted to be a "vegetarian" (Veterinarian)! I started taking care of my aunts animals and her "zoo" when I was about 7 years old, 3 times a year. She knew others who needed animal care, feeding brushing walking, ect, and I began taking care of others' animals as well for years! Continued with this all throughout the time that I waitresses, but few years later got a job as a doggy day care attendant. Which put me into the position of a groomer a year later, and then even a dog trainer the next year. I now work at an after hours animal ER and as a Veterinarians assistant. I really do believe you can fully trust me with your animals, as I've been doing it for years. It makes me nervous putting my own animals in others care, but I would trust myself 10 times over! I am availabile Monday through Sunday and anytime, if any special accommodations needed, you can feel free to reach out and see what I can do for you and your family ❤️ In others home, I really focus on getting to know the animals, and letting them wind down outside. I try to read each animal, as they are all different and usually display very obvious body language.
“Jill was great! She had excellent communication before and during the visit, sent us lots of pictures, and kept us informed on how everyone was doing. She clearly loves animals and knows how to care for them!”

“Brandi was amazing with my two cats!! She is so professional and caring. Very detail oriented. She sends pics and updates with every drop in!!! Using her again next week for a few days over the holiday. She is a super star! I didn't worry one bit with her watching them. She made my vacation worry free so we could relax and enjoy time away. Five star and can’t say enough about her. If you want someone who really cares and will take great care of your pets, schedule with Brandi.”

“Joy did a fantastic job taking care of our cats. She kept us updated about anything and everything. All of our cats enjoyed having g her around and would certainly have her watch them again.”

About: Long-time local serving Eagle and Summit County. Willing to travel for pick up/drop off. I’m happy to stop in multiple times a day, go for walks, or organize an overnight stay. I’m familiar with local dog parks and trails, and have reliable transportation. Shoot me a message to plan care for your dog while you’re going out of town, or in town visiting the mountains! I have a very flexible schedule, making it easy for me to stop in multiple times a day, or go for long walks with your dog. At my home, I have a fenced balcony on a ground floor and a specific place to walk dogs. I like to go on local trails for longer walks. In clients homes, I like to stick to the routine and methods explained to keep a predictable schedule for the dog.
About: I’ve had animals of my own since I was little. Growing up I would often pet sit for family. More recently, I’ve rescued two cats within the past 3 years. They’re my world! I’ve recently started pet sitting for my friend on occasion and wanted to find more pet sitting opportunities because I enjoy it so much! I work from home Monday-Friday 8-5 with a lunch break from 12-1. However, I work at my own pace so I am able to leave if needed. I also work a part time job on the weekends where the hours vary. I’ll always be available after 6pm. I pay close attention to detail specific to each pet since each pet has their own set of needs. I like getting to know their personalities and earning their trust. I understand that pets are an extension of the family and I respect them as such. I also understand the worry of leaving your pets at home and the separation anxiety that pet and owner can experience, so I always offer pictures of your pets so you don’t feel like you’re missing out on much!
“Ali did an awesome job with our 4 fur babies, I think they love her more than us now. She was very attentive to their medications making sure they took the right amount, on time, and even had to add a day worth of medication because of issues our trip incurred. She was very diligent about making sure they had plenty of playtime (fetch) weather permitting. I'm thinking she might want to take up dog photography because she got quite of few fabulous pictures that we can never seem to get. The only reason I wouldn't recommend her is because I want her just for my fur babies, in all seriousness I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for taking care of fur babies (dogs) especially if they have to take oral medication.”

“Jessica is great and so sweet! She came at the time requested, did all the things we asked and took time to socialize with our cat (who isn't always the most social). We trust her with our pets and would definitely ask her to sit for us again!!”

“Kelly was amazing! Picked up a drop in visit last minute and spent time with our puppy, making sure she got her potty breaks! We loved having her visit & Ellie was happy to have someone to hang out with for a bit!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a vegan, so caring for animals is truly close to my heart. I’ve been looking after pets since I was a child and have experience with all kinds of companions. Right now, I share my home with three dogs—60 lbs, 25 lbs, and 6 lbs—so I’m very comfortable managing different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve also cared for cats, birds, fish, gerbils, and even snakes. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, reliable care throughout the day. 🐾 I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule to help to care for your pet. I’m available on weekdays and weekends with a little bit of notice! 🐾 I’m dependable and safety-focused, and I’ll care for your pet the same way I care for my own. I have three wonderful dogs and a fully fenced backyard, so safety is always top of mind in my home. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or precautions you have in place to make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for. 🐾
