A Personal Passion Reignited
If you’ve ever left home and spent half your trip wondering how your pet was doing, you’re in good company.
As a lifelong animal lover and former dog mom to two incredible dogs, Karma and Goldie, I understand the deep bond we share with our pets—and the responsibility that comes with entrusting someone else to care for them.
That’s exactly why I founded Denver Pet Sitting Company.
The First Journey
Years ago, I launched a pet sitting and dog walking business in Denver with nothing more than a passion for animals and a commitment to provide exceptional care.
The idea was born out of personal frustration—I struggled to find truly reliable, loving care for Karma and Goldie when I needed to travel. I knew other pet parents must be feeling the same way, so I decided to create the kind of service I had been searching for myself.
Over the course of a decade, I built that business from the ground up, eventually leading a team of 18 trusted employees and serving hundreds of families across the Denver metro area. When I sold the company, I thought I was stepping away from the industry for good.
The Calling to Return
But something kept calling me back.
Over time, I realized that what I missed most wasn’t just the pets (though I missed them dearly!)—it was the relationships, the sense of trust, and the peace of mind we provided to families.
There’s nothing quite like knowing your dog is snuggled in safely at home or your cat is getting gentle, reliable companionship while you’re away.
So I decided to return—but with a fresh vision, modern tools, and an even deeper commitment to quality.
Reimagining Pet Sitting
Denver Pet Sitting Company is more than just a pet care service. We offer a full spectrum of personalized care, with a special focus on both pet sitting visits and overnight pet sitting in Denver that prioritize companionship, safety, and comfort. Our team is carefully selected, thoroughly vetted.
We also offer elevated concierge-style services that redefine what it means to have support while you're away. From stocking your fridge and pantry before you return, to picking up prescriptions, running last-minute errands, or coordinating with household vendors—we step in so you can fully relax.
Our clients don’t just rely on us for pet care—they trust us with their homes, their routines, and their peace of mind.
What You Can Expect
When you book with us, you’re not just hiring a sitter—you’re gaining a thoughtful partner in your pet’s well-being. Our pet sitting service in Denver, Colorado include detailed updates, playful companionship, feeding, medications if needed, and a calm presence in your home. We prioritize communication, professionalism, and trust.
We use technology like Time To Pet to make scheduling seamless, keep you updated with photos and notes, and ensure every detail is accounted for. It’s care that feels personal—because it is.
Why It Matters
Choosing the right pet care provider is one of the most important decisions a pet parent can make. That’s why I’ve returned with a clear purpose: to raise the standard of care in Denver and bring heart, experience, and transparency to every interaction.
I’ve been in your shoes, and I’ve stood in mine. From one pet lover to another, I built this company to provide the kind of service I’d want for my own beloved companions.
Whether you're heading out for a weekend trip, a long vacation, or traveling for business, we’re here to help. We’d love to meet your pet and learn more about how we can support you.
Thank you for being here. We’re honored to care for the furry members of your family.
