Pet Sitters in Salida, CO

Kevin & Brenda

Kevin & Brenda cared for our cat Ethel for a second time and it was a wonderful experience again. They were communicative and flexible (I accidentally posted the dates slightly incorrect!), took great care of our cat and were highly self sufficient. We returned home to a clean space and happy kitty. Would absolutely recommend and welcome them back.

Frank

Frank and Annie were exceptional pet and home sitters! They arrived right on time and immediately bonded with Hazel. Communication was great during our long weekend away: I received many pictures of my sweet dog. We returned to a very happy dog and a spotless house. I would love to invite Frank and Annie back for another sit, and I recommend them highly!

Cielo

Coelos care for our two old pets was exceptional. She took such good care and provided love and comfort for them both. Easy to communicate with and ready to provide all the info one needed. She left our house as clean as she found if, or more so! We highly reccomend her for any pet/house/plant care.

Valerie

Valerie was wonderful! She took good care of our pets and completed all the other things we asked of her. She left the house tidy and was very responsive. We’d definitely ask Valerie to sit again!

Nichole

We loved having Nichole look after our pets! She was so helpful in giving us daily updates and treated our pets with so much care and love. She also left our apartment so clean and tidy!

Amy

Amy is an amazing House Sitter. She was super organised, communicating before she arrived with us and when she arrived she took copious notes to ensure that the large level of responsibility I was leaving her with could covered. Her attention to detail caring, kindness and wisdom was superb. She looked after my cats, dogs, chicken, rabbits, Guinea pigs, horses, goats and pigs. Nothing fazed her and the animals loved her. I felt completely confident that she would manage everything and she did. I would recommend her most highly as a really lovely person and wonderful house sitter. THANK YOU so much Amy

J Mark

Mark was great with our dog and communicated well with us before and throughout our trip. He let us know when our dog was approached by an aggressive dog and kept us updated about our dog's anxiety after the event so we could give advice on how to care for him. Mark also did a good job cleaning up before he left. We hope to have Mark sit for us again in the future.

Sondra

Sonnie took care of my aging cat for a week while I was completely out of contact. She was totally okay managing my cat's needs while having no contact with me at all. She left my house clean and tidy, and she sent me very cute photos of my silly cat. You can trust Sonnie to take good care of your home and your pets!

Erica

Erica was a really fantastic sitter. Solid and consistent communication, super professional and the house was absolutely spotless when we returned. She was also very flexible with our somewhat fluid schedule which was helpful. We can’t wait to have her back!

Bayardo

I just had an excellent experience with Bayardo as our sitter for a one week trip. He was very communicative prior to arriving and even showed up a little early so we had some extra time to go over the instructions. Micco is not a "simple" dog and Bayardo listened to my tips and I felt confident leaving. I received updates and photos daily and was able to relax and enjoy my trip :-) We returned to very relaxed pets and a very clean house. He followed all directions well and even fixed a broken handle on the microwave (thank you Bayardo!). We would love to have him back on a future sit anytime.

Galen

Galen stayed and watched our 2 dogs while we were out of town for 10 days. He was very responsive in terms of communication before and during the sit. He is a responsible sitter who sent photos each day of him taking our dogs out for walks. He also gave the cat plenty of attention and sent daily cat photos as well. The pets were all so happy when we got home, it was clear they felt comfortable with him during our absence. We'd love to have Galen pet sit for us again and highly recommend him. Thanks, Galen!

Cynthia

Cynthia was a great sitter! She took amazing care of our dog and was very attentive to his needs. She was conscientious and communicative.

Nicole and Rob

Cindy took great care of all of our animals and our home. She provided us with updates that reassured us while away and it’s obvious they quite enjoyed their long weekend with her!

Virginia W

We had a very nice stay in Virginias home. Lola is a super sweet and friendly dog. She was a bit rebellious when we first met her, but after Virginia left she immediately was our best friend. She was easy to look after and we had nice time at beaches with her. She was following us all around the house, which was absolutely adorable. 
Virginia herself is a very kind and warmly person. She gave us so many informations, she should start a career as a tourguide. We had an accident and she was absolutely understanding. Thank you so much for everything, we had (despite the accident) a fantastic stay. It was a pleasure to meet you.
