“This is second time Ive used Sarah. An absolute pleasure to work with. This call was a last minute emergency and she was so happy she could help. My Zoe is 15 and is a little slower and double coated so I like to walk her in shade. Little special rituals Zoe and me do together she was kind to accommodate. Zoe loves her and waits on front bed for her. Its difficult to leave Zoe for trips away from her And now I have peace of mind knowing how gentle and generous Sarah is with Zoe when I have to be away. Sarah is a gem.”
About: I am currently a cat mom of 3. Chloe, Colby, and Clarabelle. I have had 20+ years experience with cats, dogs, and other small animals. I have grown up with animals my whole life including cats, dogs, rabbits, and other small animals. I'm currently a teacher working remotely and during my breaks before and after classes I would love to care for your pets. I'm available to do check ins and walks. I would also consider doing an overnight depending on my availability. I will provide updates and photos when requested by the owner and will provide quality care to your pet while you are away. Please consider contacting me if you are in need of someone to look after your pet. I would love to meet your furry family members.
About: I’ve been a dog walker and started a neighborhood business at the age of 10 and I have worked in animal animal hospital for 3 years and an animal shelter as well as a doggie day care :) I have my own family dog that I take care of and I have the availability to be available whenever. I also like to make sure I am scheduling everything that I need to do prior. While caring for my dog at home, I make sure to know when he needs to go to the bathroom. I make sure he’s fed. If I am in someone else’s home I make sure I allow the pets to feel safe and reward good behavior. I make sure he gets his medicine and we play, sleep, and cuddle.

About: I’ve had 25+ years of personal experience with dogs, cats and various small animals. I currently have two black lab mixes that hold a special place in my heart. I have experience walking, bathing, feeding and loving dogs of various sizes, ages and breeds. I also have years of experience with small animals (birds, hamsters, chinchillas, Guinea pigs and rabbits). I work full time as a social worker, mostly in the afternoons and evenings. However, I make my own schedule so timing can be flexible! I would love to keep your animals routine as close as it normally is! Safety and love are so important for our animals so I will work with you to create the best environment for your animal.
About: I'm an energetic and passionate dog sitter, ready to keep your furry friend active, engaged, and happy! Whether it's playtime, walks, or administering care, I’m here to give them all the attention they need with plenty of love and enthusiasm.

I make sure to match the needs of my clients- whether that’s frequent walks and playtime, regular medicine administration, or providing a calm, loving environment. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, ensuring they feel cared for and safe.
“Lisa was great with both my dogs while I was on vacation. She kept me up to date as to what she did with the dogs that day and sent me pics to let me see my "babies". I felt very at ease having her look after them. I will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I grew up around dogs as my grandma was a verified trainer and breeder. I’ve been around all sizes of dogs ranging from German Shepards to Corgis. I had my own dogs growing up that were professionally trained. While I no longer have my own dog, I am around one constantly and have always had a love for them. I do work the weekends at a restaurant so later at nights but during the weekdays, I am almost always free and in town. I am a night owl but do wake up very easily in the mornings. I plan to follow and abide by any rules or boundaries that the owner sets for their home. I will not able to house any dogs at my own house but will make sure that any doors or yards are locked.

I love playing with my dogs and spending plenty of time outdoors, we have an electric fence which has a beep setting. My neighborhood also has plenty of paths for walking!

About: My name is Traci and I spent 22 years serving my country. I am now retired and spend all my time with my fur kids. I have been a volunteer with a local Lab Rescue in Denver, where I did adoptions, transports and I fostered dogs of all ages in my own home. I also have a small zoo of my own...(dogs, cats, fish) My family calls me the dog whisperer. I have always had a connection with animals and would love to continue giving back. I will come to your home and take care of your kids and house as if you were there. As a foster, I was responsible for training the dogs that were in my care before they go to their forever home. Recently, I have been training my own Lab as a Service Dog, that will be used for veterans that experience anxiety/panic attacks and even PTSD. Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog lover my entire life. My parents got me a dog when I was 6 months old and his name was Pepper. I have always had dogs with me. I started volunteering with a local lab rescue because I felt like I could always do more for the animals. Fostering dogs in my own home, training them, showing them love them (some of them have never had that) and then I help get them adopted out to a family who will love them just the same. It was a rewarding hobby. Meet my pets: 3 cats 4 Dogs My experience administering medication: I am very comfortable with medications and administering them. I was a combat medic in the Navy, and I am currently a Wilderness EMT with over 20 years in the medical field. I am trained and certified in K-9 First Aid and CPR. Most recently I worked at a dog rescue in Puerto Penasco, Mexico (Barb's Dog Rescue). Working at a dog rescue, you see the worst cases of abuse and neglect. I was trained how to administer medications, IV's, Sub-Q fluids and give LOTS of love. Your fur kids are in good hands.

Traci has two titles in our family- "Dog Whisperer" and "Dr Doolittle". She truly loves animals and will always put them first. I will always trust my kids aka my three dogs with their Auntie Traci. ”
