Tony is amazingly devoted to our older cats, Bruno and Ratri. He administers complex medications, food and love, and send us daily photos of our furry babies. He's wonderful! read more

Rob takes care of our Great Danes, Clyde and Louis when we are on trips that they can't go. We couldn't be more pleased. Dogs love him and the daily texts are great. These boys are family to us and I would not take giving an excellent review of Denver Metro Pet Sitters lightly. Extremely reliable and goes the extra mile to make our trip worry free! read more

I was SO very disappointed with Denver Metro Pet Sitters. We had Sharon walking our boxer 2x a week and unfortunately she neglected our dog, lacked common sense and we caught her in several lies. Lies: -The in/out times were inaccurate, (we have an alarm system that records every time a door opens) -she said she was taking him for walks when she wasn't, (no access to sidewalks from gates and didn't go out the front door again the alarm system showed open/close times Neglect: -She didn't give him water on multiple occasions and then lied about it! I had a bad feeling after catching her in several lies (and seeing the water bowl near empty before after she said she checked it) so call me a cynic but I tested her to see if she would be honest. I left the water bowl empty and came home to an empty bowl with a check mark on the "checked/filled water" box. When I sent her a text about it she flat out lied and said he definitely got water and she checked it, though now she wonders why she didn't tell him to slow down (if he drinks fast he throws up). Poor guy had no water for 9 hours while we were working. When we got home would drink 3 bowls in a row! Letting him potty and get water is the whole reason we paid this company!!!!! (This happened more than once) Common sense: Little things like I would say the treats are in the green bucket by Dexters kennel and she would leave a note saying that she couldn't find the treats. Bad habits: Since we hired her Dexter began misbehaving. He has never been a whiner, and now he can't be in his kennel without pitching a fit. He also has become defiant. She is scared of boxers after being bit recently. I don't know if this factors in but it has cost us more training classes and finding a new dog sitter. When we called to cancel there were no apologies offered by Tony, which is unfortunate. He seems like he loves animals, but his lack of caring was upsetting. I'm assuming he has known about Sharon's issues otherwise he would have made some effort to keep us as customers. Instead he just set up a time to get the key. No excuses, no apologies, no questions, no explanations. I understand she would rather be teaching yoga, but in that case she should stop dog walking. read more

I started using Tony and Austin to watch my animals when I had a last minute flight and they were very accommodating. I live in a downtown high-rise with a cat, an epileptic miniature pinscher, and a 9 month old great dane. I was gone two days and Tony and Austin kept me in the loop and updated me every time they dropped by to let me know how every one was doing. Unfortunately for my miniature pinscher, she experienced a seizure in their care. Thankfully it was while she was under supervision from Austin and he turned down the lights and helped her relax and made sure the apartment was quiet for her when he finally left for the night per my instructions. They were amazing to my animals and to me, they made sure all medications were taken on schedule and were on time for every visit. I couldn't have ben happier with them. Hands down the best pet sitters I've used. read more

I had a great experience with these guys. I was looking for someone to petsit my cat while I was away for the Thanksgiving holiday, and the other company I was speaking with kept blowing me off and dragging me on to the point where I had to explore other options on short notice. I reached out to Denver Metro Pet Sitters and Tony got back to me within an hour saying that he could provide petsitting services and by the next day, I'd had a meet and greet with him and Sharon. I can't thank them enough for taking me in on such short notice. During the meet and greet, I got a great feeling about both Tony and Sharon and knew I was leaving my kitty in good hands. Now that I'm back, everything looks great and taken care of and I came home to a happy cat! read more

Thanks to Tony, Claire, and everyone on staff!! I was really worried about having to leave our little-old-lady dog with almost no notice and right after a big surgical procedure (two teeth removed, under anesthesia for a while, 13 year old dog). When she gets stressed, she often refuses to eat and I was concerned that oral surgery and not having us around would make that worse than usual. When I got home after the DMPS crew looked after her, she was as happy as can be, ready to eat, and clearly in great shape for her recovery. She's still upset with me for taking her to the vet, but she is doing great and I can't tell you how much stress it takes off me to know what a great job everyone did. We've had months of experience using this crew for our regular pet sitting and they've always been outstanding. Claire especially keeps us updated on both of our dogs and sends pictures of them enjoying their walks. She even takes it in stride when we unexpectedly added a third crazy pup to the mix. Couldn't be happier with our decision to use DMPS. I love everything about their service (including my ability to book over text and pay electronically - including tip!). read more

Tony and Sharon are awesome. My husband and I had to travel out of town last minute for a family situation. We have two kittens, one was only 5 months old, the other almost a year old. Because of their age we were really worried about having a friend stop by here and there. The littlest one could get into so much trouble in between the visits! I called a few places, but something about speaking to Tony made me feel like they would be the best decision (and there's a lot of options in Denver!). We found out we needed to travel on a Monday, they worked us in to meet us on a Tuesday (working around our crazy hours), and then we flew out on Wednesday and Sharon took over. A two day notice for a new client is really incredible. Every day we got text messages from Sharon with cute pictures and updates of our kittens. We were able to focus on our family and not stress about anything. And by the end, our shyest (hardest to win over) kitten was playing with Sharon and loving her so I can tell they approved too. Thank you to Denver metro pet sitters for saving the day and for taking care of our little ones. One last thing - we just bought a house and are sadly out of the area that they serve, but upon reaching out to Tony, he made sure we found a new pet sitter in our new area that was just as reputable as his own company. SO so helpful and nice. Great company, 5 stars. read more

They do good work! I have called on less than 48-hours notice and Tony is more than accommodating. You will get a text after every session they spend with you dog regarding behavior, if she has been eating or anything really. It is very reassuring when you are off in the mountains and are unable to take your pup with you! To start off, Tony likes to come meet your pup with one of his walkers. The session lasts about 30 minutes and allows your dog to be acquainted with their new friends. Once you have met with Tony, everything else is done online. You make the request, then within a few hours Tony will give you a call to confirm your visits. Once confirmed a bill is generated and you pay online with a credit card. If you are thinking about leaving town without your pup, I highly recommend this in home service! It beats a kennel anyday! read more

We loved working with Tony and our sitter Rob! We contacted Denver Metro Pet Sitters just a few days before a weekend trip to Phoenix. Our 11 year old kitty is on Thyroid meds that she needs every day. Tony was able to fit us in, and quickly scheduled an intial visit where the sitter could meet our pet (Zoe). It was really comforting to have them come to our home with us there, they asked very thorough questions about Zoe and spent some time with her so that she could get to know the sitter. As stated, we received a text after each visit with our pet letting us know how everything went. Meds were given as needed, and our little kitty seemed calmer when we got home (she is normally super anxious to see us!). Will use again and recommend their services to anyone looking for a professional and caring pet sitter. read more

Tony and Jessie are life savers. When my work schedule picked up, I was worried about my little ones, but I know they are in good hands. I have been using them for over four months now and it has been great. They leave a progress report when they go, so I know what the dogs did. I highly recommend them. read more

Tony and his wonderful staff are an outstanding investment in the happiness of your pet. I had special needs for my dog and was staying at a hotel in downtown Denver and they came to my hotel, sat with my dog while I had to attend to some business, and were not only sweet and kind to my furbaby, but wonderfully accommodating to me. If you are looking for a long-term relationship, Denver Metro would certainly be my choice. But if you need a reliable, short-term solution, I couldn't recommend them any more highly. read more

Thank you Tony and Sharon for such exceptional service!! We've had them watch our cat, Clyde, for the past 2+ years, and we always feel comfortable and at ease leaving him in their care. We get daily updates and photos, and when we got married and took 3 weeks off work it was such a relief knowing Clyde was being taken care of by such reliable people. We have friends that now go to them too! We are so happy with them and always feel relieved going away from home. Thank you for such great service to Clyde!! read more

My girlfriend and I used Tony and Ami's service and were very satisfied. Our cats, Tokyo and Maeve, were very well looked after. Every day that we employed the service, we received text and picture messages about how well they were doing. Tony came by as part of a new client meet and greet, which put to ease any apprehension about their business. They very carefully document each and every visit. I highly recommend and will use their service in the future. Very reasonable rates for peace of mind and I've paid twice as much in the past for half the service.

AMAZING! My cats were the happiest...usually when I return from a trip they look sad and exhausted. But, Tony musta loved 'em up so good, they did'nt even care I was gone for 6 days. I even had to extend a day and Tony was more than happy to oblige. Thanks again, Tony!!! Will recommend you to all my friends! read more

I had a pet sitter cancel on me last minute & frantically messaged many different pet sitters on Yelp! Tony was one of the first to reply. While I didn't end up needing their service you can count on them for a speedy response! read more

If I could give this business less than one star, I would. Abruptly canceled service without providing adequate time to find a replacement. Extremely unprofessional attitude and conduct. Very disappointed. read more

1. One of the pet sitters lost my house keys. I wasn't informed of this until I book another appointment WEEKS later. I find this unacceptable. 2. I went out of town for the weekend, the sitter was suppose to check on my dog 4 times over the course of the weekend. Come to find out Sunday that no one checked on my dog. Thankfully a friend of mine went over to my house immediately to check on my dog once I found out she was left unattended to make sure she was okay. I will NEVER trust them with my dog again. read more

I had a terrible experience with this company, and I would NEVER hire them again. I booked them weeks in advance. Lindsey and Tony came over for the meet and greet, and I told them all of the instructions and also said I would have them written down for them when they came back for the visits. I confirmed with Lindsey on both of the 2 days before she was supposed to visit. She assured me that she would be there on time and that she would text me and let me know how my dog was doing when she got there. I woke up (in Wisconsin visiting family), and I didn't have a text from her. I tried to text her. I tried to call her. No answer. I then called Tony to tell him the situation, and he assured me he would head over to my house right away. (About 15 minutes later I found out that he somehow didn't have my address, despite multiple emails back and forth and the paperwork I had to fill out). Lindsey finally called me back and said "I went by the house I just forgot to text you, and i felt bad because I was only able to stay 30 mins with the dog, so I was going to go back." She said that she "forgot she had a meeting." Yeah, right! 1. The visits were only supposed to be 30 mins, and I could tell she was lying. 2. She "forgot" she had a meeting, after this had been booked weeks in advance, and confirmed multiple times, even the the day before her visit? Yeah right. 3. I told her in a text message the day before that I left a copy of the written instructions on my desk, along with a small gift for her. 4. When she told me she had gone to the house, I said that I didn't believe her. I then asked her, "ok, if you've been to my house, what did I leave you on the instructions." She then replied that she never read the instructions so she didn't know. Well, her gift was sitting on top of the instructions on my desk in the living room. Impossible to miss. I told her if she had actually been to my house, she would know that. I then told her that she was fired. 5. I called Tony back to tell him, thinking he was on the way to my house. At that point, he told me he didn't even have my address! He was not even apologetic! 6. Tony said he would take over the visits. After his first visit, he sent me an update telling me that my dog was fine and that he gave her a piece of cheese treat and "hoped that was ok." I the told him that WAS NOT ok, because as I told him in the meet and greet, my dog has issues with her pancreas and is on a very special diet and special food. I also told him, "it's really not very hard to follow the instructions that I left." Which he clearly had NOT even bothered to read. 7. The instructions were straightforward - come to the house at these times. Let the dog hang out in the fenced in backyard for 30 mins, and make sure her food bowl and both water bowls are full each visit. My dog is 14 years old and doesn't even need to be walked. This company couldn't handle the most simple visits for a few days. I was worried sick about my dog. 8. Tony doesn't even have a phone that works well. When I called him, I couldn't hear him at all. His phone kept breaking up. He can't even send a picture message via text. I would NEVER EVER hire this company again. I cannot believe it has so many good reviews on Yelp. I highly recommend that you DO NOT hire this company either, unless you want to go through the stress and anguish I did when I was away. I normally don't take the time to write many Yelp reviews, because I don't want to be a 'complainer.' However, I'm appalled that they dropped the ball like this - this is a living animal! Are you serious? I'm pretty sure he didn't even fire Lindsey. read more

We would give this place twelve stars if we could. We called them after our stand-by kitty sitters fell through, and with just over a week's notice, Tony was super responsive and he and Brandi came out to visit the "kids" and make arrangements. Brandi texted us every day we were gone with updates, left us great notes to find upon our return, and they both went absolutely above and beyond in terms of customer service and assistance. So impressive, and particularly so because it was around the holidays, and reasonably priced to boot. We got home and our cats didn't even seem to have missed us - a mark of a great sitter, as far as I'm concerned. The kids who usually watch our cats have some serious competition now, and we'll definitely call these guys again! read more

I absolutely adore this company. Tony and Rob have been nothing but FANTASTIC! My dogs love them and they are always prompt and on time. I sometimes give them short notice, and they always fit me in and treat my boys like rock stars. They have been lifesavers on many occasions. I trust them to be at my house, which is so nice! their prices are definitely within my budget. I always receive a text message with an update as soon as they leave. Very friendly. I would recommend them to anyone. read more

Tony watched my 2 cats in his home years ago when I was in transition and went out of town over the holidays. He provided them a safe and attentive home when they needed it most. Even though the one cat is a super scaredy-cat, Tony made her as comfortable as possible and catered to her special needs as a very timid kitty. I would recommend Tony Hardesty. read more

Tony rules. He and his co-workers are super flexible, animal loving, reliable, and responsive. We've used his services multiple times, and every time the service is superb. They leave daily notes, send txt msg updates, and love our pets like their own. The last time I used their services, there was a mis-communication on my part that I did not realize until 9:30 at night, and Tony & Co responded and got me out of a jam. Highly recommend their services! read more

Tony is great with Lola our cat and she loves him. He cares for her whenever we go away, which is often, and it gives us peace of mind to know she is in such good hands. He not only feeds her and cleans her litter, but spends a little time playing with her, too. She enjoys this more than the food! He always sends me a text during his visit to let me know she's doing well, which I appreciate. He has a good understanding of animals, loves the work, and is reliable and professional. read more

Recommend highly. My cat Buddy who used to be okay staying alone recently had some medical issues where he needed some meds. My job takes me away from home few days a month so I needed to find some help with Buddy. Left a message and was responded to the next day! Tony came over to a "meet & greet" to get info on locks, alarms and of course Buddy. It's just Buddy & me at the house right now so it is a relief to know when I'm out of town everything at home is good and most importantly Buddy is good. Tony always sends a text about his visits and will send a pic of Buddy sunning on the outside deck when it's warm outside. Very reliable and even visited Buddy Christmas Day and New Years Day! And most important, it's easy to tell Tony really likes and enjoys being with Buddy! Thanks Tony! read more

I couldn't be happier with my experience. It was my first weekend away from my dog since I moved to Denver. My dog experiences high separation anxiety, and Tony and Sharon were able to accommodate. A log was kept of times of each visit, pee/poop, and if walked. I also received many texts reassuring everything was fine, and including pictures (which I loved). I will definitely be using them again for my next weekend trip! read more

We've been using Denver Metro Pet Sitters for the last two months for daily dog walks since we moved to Denver. Tony is great with the dogs - you can tell he truly does care about your pup. He also sends weekly texts to keep track of your schedule. Our dog walker, Rob, is great with our dog. I can tell our pup loves him because she has been much happier the last few months (vast improvements in her separation anxiety). He also writes the best notes about their daily walks - I look forward to reading them every day! With Denver Metro Pet Sitters, I know my dog is in the best hands. I can't recommend them enough. read more

Tony did a great job sitting my cats when I was on vacation, he left a detailed log for each visit and texted me after each visit to keep me updated. read more

Tony is by far and away one of the best finds since I moved to Denver!! He is always willing to accommodate my travel schedule, sends me daily updates on how their doing, and genuinely cares about doing his job professionally and with compassion. I depend on him constantly, and wouldn't have it any other way! read more

We use Denver Metro Pet Sitters to take care of our cats each time we go out of town. Our sitter is reliable, kind and loves animals. I would definitely recommend! read more

Love! Holly & Tony did an excellent job. Very professional, and they obviously care about the animals they take care of. Daily messages, they left a note to tell us exactly what was done, remembered everything we asked of them, and were just overall kind and easy to deal with. You can tell if anything goes wrong, they'll handle it ASAP. I felt very comfortable and at ease leaving our pets/house in their care. Highly recommended. read more

I have had Tony and Rob watch my cats several times. They genuinely seemed to care about them, kneeling down to their level to approach them and asking detailed questions about their likes and dislikes. I have trusted them to come into my home when I am not there and they have always maintained that trust. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good pet sitting service. read more

Thank you to Tony and Sharon for providing such a tremendous pet sitting service while we were away for our wedding. I had never left our dog with anyone but family before, so I was a bit nervous about it. Tony and Sharon made a visit to our home to meet the fur-babies and us, and Sharon stayed at our home overnight and came each afternoon to walk our pup while we were away. She gave me several email updates including photos of our pup on a walk and hanging out at home, which gave me much peace of mind. Couldn't recommend Denver Metro Pet Sitters enough. High quality service, professional, trust worthy and very reasonably priced in our opinion. read more

Our whole family loves Denver Metro Pet Sitters, especially our dog Rosie! Tony is great with Rosie, he is super trustworthy, and he is very easy to get a hold of. I have made late reservations and cancellations based on my unpredictable work schedule, and he is always very accountable. I have, and will continue to, recommend them to fellow pet-owners! Thanks, Tony! read more

Tony and Rob are great and take wonderful care of my cats when I go out of town for work. I don't hestitate leaving them in their care. The text message updates are great, I even got picture mail once! Thanks guys! read more

My dog's had such a nice Christmas thanks to Denver Metro Pet Sitters. Our original pet sitter decided they could not honor their commitment to keep our dogs of the Holiday and I reached out to Denver Metro Pet Sitters at the last minute and Sharon was amazing. She came to our home 2 times a day and spent time with our dogs and even texted us pictures. It snowed quite a bit when we were gone and we assumed we would come home to a mess but, it was all clean and tidy. Thank you so much! Can't wait to use this service again. read more

I greatly wanted to add to the many accolades Denver Metro Pet Sitters has received on Yelp, but unfortunately I cannot. It was because of the wonderful reviews they have received that I chose to have this company pet sit for my diabetic cat and provide him with injections while I was out of town on business. Although Tony and Amy came over for a trial run to meet my cat and complete an injection while I was present, they were unsuccessful in providing the necessary injections while I was away due my cat becoming aggressive as a result of his illness and my absence. I understand that because of this the company/sitters were not able to provide the service, I do not take issue with this. I do however take issue with their choice to inform me of this problem via text by saying "We will not go back." When my call for more information was returned (several hours later) we had a discussion about the inability to complete the service. Unfortunately, I had already paid for the 2 days of service and although I reminded them to apply the new client's coupon of $10 off, it was not deducted from the total. Upon my return home, I emailed Tony and requested a refund, as I do not feel obligated to pay for services not rendered. When I didn't receive a response for over a week I called and left a message requesting a response. I received a message from Tony stating that the key to my home had been lost (which occurred twice) but that a refund would be issued and sent via regular mail. This message was left over a month ago and I still have not received a refund. Any attempts to contact the company further regarding this issue have been ignored. I have filed a claim against the transaction with my bank and hope to receive a refund soon. I thought Tony was a very nice man and I wish things had turned out differently. The situation has been extremely frustrating to say the least. I believe that if it were handled in a more professional manner I could have added another complimentary review to the pile. I will not only never use the service again, but I truly wish I had used a different one all together! read more

WARNING. Tony came over to meet my elderly cat. He was very kind, and my cat felt ok around him which is great. However, he told me he had administered subQ fluids many times, but in watching him do it, it was Very apparent that he had never done it before. Both times he "thought" he had gotten the needle in, he hadn't, and fluids sprayed everywhere. I finally had to do it myself and show him how. He said his eyes were bad and he couldn't see the needle. Seriously?!? Then why are you offering this service to my old, sick, beloved cat?? He also told me the story of how an elderly cat died on his watch. Do you really want to tell this to a new customer?? I'm glad he did. Even if it was not at all his fault, it shows Very poor thinking skills to tell a customer this, who is worried about their elderly cat. ALWAYS MEET YOUR PETSITTER FIRST. TALK TO THEM AND MAKE SURE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. It is unbelievable how many people are trying to make money without being honest an/or doing a good job. This is unsafe for your pets. read more

Denver Metro Pet Sitters provides an awesome service at great value. Every time I've contacted them I've been handled with top notch customer service.

This service is a steal. read more

I used them several times to take care of my cat while I was out of town. They did a great job with her and were very easy to work with.

Denver Metro Pet Sitters has been our go to Pet Sitter since we moved to Denver 2.5 years ago for our kitties. Tony and team have been wonderful. Responsive to our request for sitting services, attentive and caring to our kitties. Very pleased with the service and care received. Highly recommend Denver Metro! read more
