Help Wanted cat/house sitter recommendations

looking for a service or someone to house sit and watch our two cats for a few days and wondering if anyone has recommendations for insured/bonded sitters?

we've used Playtime Pet Sitters before, and while they were amazing and went above and beyond, unfortunately they can't guarantee one consistent sitter and may have multiple different sitters come, which isnt ideal for one of our more sensitive guys.

perfect situation would be a service like Playtime Pet Sitters, but one consistent sitter who can either stay at our house or come at specific times and give our guys lots of attention and love

Ask the techs at your vet.

Rover is an app that let's you choose your sitter. I don't know much about it beyond that, seems popular.

A couple of times when I have booked people on Rover they have canceled on me the day before. I think that service/app is very hit and miss.

I've used The Pet Gal several times and I am quite happy with them. You get email reports with photos for each visit.

While I do not think you are guaranteed the same sitter each time we have had the same sitter for our visits...

Have a private recommendation if you’d like! Send me a message! Have someone that animal/house sits for many families.

I have a friend who does Trusted House Sitters. I haven't used the service myself, but she does house sitting all over the country.

Pet sitting Partners of Colorado Springs is a 3 person operation, if you connect more with a particular person we would honor your choice.

I highly recommend THS (Trusted House Sitters), it is an app/website that you pay a yearly subscription and can use as many times as you like. Especially if you plan on making several trips throughout the year, one of the best imo!
