Pet sitter questions, answered plainly

Call or text Hope at 720-786-0801, email her, or use the form at the bottom of this page. The first step is always a free walkthrough at your home, before you book anything.

Hope or a sitter from her team comes to your home and meets your pets (want Hope herself? just ask). You go through the routine together: medications with doses and times, feeding, litter, walk routes, quirks, and your vet and emergency contacts. All of it goes into a written care plan, so nothing depends on memory.

For holidays and school breaks, two to four weeks ahead is best. Otherwise, reach out as soon as you know your dates.

Hope goes over cancellations and changes with you when you book, so you know the terms before anything is confirmed.

Yes. An overnight means your sitter spends the night in your home with your pets, so they are not alone overnight and your house is not empty. See all of Hope’s services.

Yes. On overnights your sitter brings in mail and packages, waters plants, turns lights on and off, and takes out the trash.

You get at least one text and photo every day on overnights, and after every drop-in visit. First-time clients get a morning and an evening update by default.

Hope tells you right away if anything seems off with your pet or your home. If a mistake is hers, she owns it and tells you plainly.

Medication schedules are written into the care plan, with doses and times. Tell Hope exactly what your pet needs at the walkthrough and she will tell you honestly what she can do.

Yes. Hope specializes in blind and deaf dogs, feral cats, diabetic pets and pets with cancer. Read how she approaches special-needs care.

Hope or one of the sitters she trained. Hope leads a small local team, not an app: every sitter is a close friend she personally vetted and trained. You’ll know who’s coming before every visit, and you can ask for the same sitter again. Hope has many years of experience and volunteered at Francis Veterinary Hospital in Golden from age 14, cleaning exam rooms, helping with X-rays and observing surgeries. Hope’s Loving Pet Care is insured.

Your sitter takes photos on arrival and departure, so you can see how the house was found and how it was left. They clean the spaces they used and strip the bed before you get home.

Overnights are $120 a night for one dog, and new clients get their first stay at $100 a night. Rates for other services, more pets or extra care are quoted at the free walkthrough, so you know the exact price before you book.

Holiday rates are confirmed at the walkthrough or when you book. You will know the full price before your dates are set.
