These guys are awesome! They provide excellent pet care for your furry friends. Every time we go out of town, I feel so relaxed knowing they are taking care of my pups. They take pics and provide updates on your furry friends while your out. They really do care for them as much as you do!! Thanks GH!! read more

I feel lucky to have found Gentle Hearts to take care of our dog and cat. For over a year now we have had them watching our pets when we are away and feel so comfortable with their friendly sitters. After every visit, we get an email and photo with a comment about the visit. They took such good care of our pets during longer trips, that we also had them start walking the dog midday daily on weekdays. Sitting can be booked easily online. The team at Gentle Hearts communicate very well over email and are quick to respond to requests and questions. We even recently had an emergency that took us out of town suddenly over the weekend, and they responded right away assuring us our pets would be taken care of. I'd highly recommend using them to watch your pets. read more

Luke, Carol and the entire Gentle Hearts team have taken great care of my older kitty for more than a year now. They are very reliable and affordable. I especially like that my kitty is taken care of by the same few people every time, unlike Rover where you are often given someone new every time. Happy to support a local business where we all feel like neighbors. Highly recommend! read more

They take amazing care of my kitty! The first meet and greet made me feel extremely comfortable and they make making future pet sitting appointments super easy on their website! They send recap emails from every visit and include an adorable picture! Puts my mind at ease whenever they are checking on my bud! read more

It's hard to move to a new city and try to find an awesome, trustworthy kitty sitter. Gentle Hearts had such great reviews and I've been so impressed with them from the first correspondence to now. My kitty is always happy when I return from trips. I also love the client portal, the email updates (with a pic too!), the notes/log left by the sitter, ease of pay, and how accommodating they are with last minute schedule changes. Peace of mind is priceless. read more

We have used gentle heart for years for pet sitting of our 2 dogs and 2 cats. They are always there when we need them and they provide dependable, excellent service. When we first got our dogs, our chow was very skittish of people and Luke made her feel at ease right away when he came to our house the first time. Highly recommended. read more

Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting is seriously the best pet sitting service EVER. We have three big dogs, one of which is not very nice to strangers, and Luke has been incredibly sweet and accommodating. My husband and I got married last weekend, and Luke allowed us to rest assured that our furry babes were well loved and taken care of in our absence. The other day, my husband's key would not work in the door. He called Luke because he has a spare key. Luke's key didn't work either! So what did he do to help? He helped boost my husband through a window!!!! If that isn't amazing client service, I don't know what else would be. He drove all the way out here when he really did not have to. Our little, often fiesty pup had a bad experience with a previous pet sitter we hired in Phoenix. Luke came over several times to help Grizzly get used to him, and now they are true pals. We are so thankful to have found a kind, trustworthy and attentive person to care for our animals. Thanks Luke :) read more

And so it came to pass one Christmas season that I needed the services of a professional pet sitter. I was terrified, to say the least, about handing over my house key to a perfect stranger and leaving town. After receiving several glowing references, I set up a meet and greet with Luke. It was immediately obvious that Luke is an animal lover, not to mention one heckuva nice guy. He played with my kitties and asked lots of questions about their needs and routine. One of my cats needed twice daily injections for diabetes and that was no problem for Luke. He also offered to turn lights on and off, roll trash cans to and from the curb, and water plants. While you are away, Luke will even leave a daily log to tell you what your pets were up to during his visits. For all of this incredible service, I think the pricing is very reasonable. I highly recommend Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting for you and your furry friends! read more

We just got back in town from a 5-night trip and used Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting to take care of our dog and 2 cats. After spending quality time with all the pets I had to jump on here to share how happy I am that we found this company! Not only do we have a rambunctious 1-year-old Australian Shepherd mix, we also have a cat that we recently learned requires medications 3x a day. Gentle Hearts didn't bat an eye about the intense administration schedule, and even followed up before we left to make sure they understood everything correctly since they know how important medication is. The daily text updates every morning letting us know everyone was healthy and happy soothed all of our separation anxieties. We will definitely use them again! read more

We've hired Luke and Carol on several occasions to look after our cats and couldn't be more pleased with their service. Our shy cat, immediately comes out to greet Carol whenever she visits, which he doesn't do for a lot of people. Our other cat is a special needs cat that gets severe separation anxiety and they are extremely sensitive to her too. Not only are their prices reasonable, but they are very professional. I really appreciate the fact that they take the time to do a "meet and greet" to get to know us and our animals and the pet log (a list of observations from each visit) is reassuring. read more

Luke and his team have been exceptional in their care for my pooch. They have been very accommodating to my insanely hectic schedule, and they've always taken great care of him. Some other highlights: They walk your dog individually, not in a big group, so you don't have to worry about a pack not getting along. They leave a log on events or how the walk went. They can administer medications if needed, and if they are pet sitting they leave the kitchen area clean (even cleaning the food bowl if needed). They do a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable with them. They are great! read more

I've been using Luke and Carol for years when I go on trips and need to leave my cat, Tuggo. They are everything you would want in a petsitter--responsive, trustworthy, reliable, affordable. They always go the extra mile--getting mail, watering plants, obeying food or medical instructions to the letter. They even send me text updates with photos on request. :) This last visit, they went above and beyond when our elevators temporarily broke, tracking down a stairwell key from a neighbor in our complex in order to get in to see Tuggo! You couldn't ask for better customer service or care for your pets than Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting! read more

Fantastic! After running out of "friends" to ask to pet sit for our two needy cats, we found Gentle Hearts by searching google. We setup an appointment, which was a great first impression. Luke came over was interested in the pets, was very organized and really asked the right questions. We met him and Carol once again, to go through things, before we took off over Thanksgiving. They were both great, and both of our pets warmed right up to them. During our trip they were responsive and did an excellent job of communicating with us when we inquired about a status at home. The real proof was when we got home! The cats were happy to see us, and the house was as we left it. Additionally, the cats have wanted to play more, which told us they definitely made the best of the time they spent with them. i.e. they played with them a lot. read more

My fur babies love the whole staff! They are always on time, super friendly, and very reasonably priced for wonderful service. Michelle is awesome; she is so good to my two Yorkies. The whole company is reliable, professional, dedicated, organized, trustworthy, accommodating and all around great. I have emailed them the day before to add walks and they have always been able to. I love they have an online system for scheduling with your pets profile, feeding/walking instructions and make a payment tab. You can pay in advance and receive a discount. They do not charge for additional dogs either it's just the walking fee. They also leave a detailed note with boxes they can check for each pet including: the date and time, where they were when they enter your house, if the pups did their business, and a personalized note. I strongly recommend them.... My pups are my children and I trust them 100 percent! read more

I accidentally found Gentle Hearts after my separation-anxiety-ridden dog became a little too much for my neighbors to handle during the day and I was desparate to make her calm down during the day. Mo (my weirdo greyhound) loves loves loves Luke, Carol, and Lyndsay, and she has since the moment she met them. This team is absolutely phenomenal... super caring, accomodating, responsive, and just all around amazing. I'm so so grateful that I stumbled upon the best pet-sitting company on my first try. I've been working with them for ...? Over a year now, I'd say... and I can't imagine ever working with anyone else. More than highly recommended! read more

We will definitely go to Luke and Amy again for their care of our dog and cat! They have an amazing business. I found them through Yelp (thank you to other reviewers!) and immediately called to schedule a meet and greet appointment. We were going out of town for the weekend and needed someone to take care of our pets, and Michelle squeezed us in for a meet and greet appointment with Luke. My pets both immediately approached Luke when he came in for the meet and greet, which was the sweetest introduction! They have a great application system which allows you as the owner to specify needs and any additional information that is available before the meet and greet. They left us detailed notes regarding services for each visit for the day and their interactions and time with the pets. I will definitely utilize their awesome services again. They are the best you can find in Denver. I will definitely call them up again in the summer when we are gone for long hiking days! read more

Luke and Carol are a well oiled machine of love for my pup. I was very pleased with the meet and greet several weeks ahead of my trip and good communication up to, during, and after my trip. I especially loved Luke's notes updating me on his visits. I will be using them again and again. read more

My wife and I contacted Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting before last Christmas to schedule a sitter for the holiday. We were confused when a woman showed up for a meet and greet and told us that she was an office manager and wouldn't be the person taking care of our cats. That's typically what a meet and greet is for. Needing a pet sitter, we rolled with it. When we got home after Christmas I found our living room television had been left on (power, not signal), so I knew someone had been watching it. I was peeved that they were watching TV instead of spending time with my cats, but in the end I figured a little TV was OK. Then I found the new sheets we'd put on our bed before leaving had been rumpled. My wife calmed me down and assured me the bed probably wasn't pristine before we left, so I reluctantly let it go. I changed the sheets immediately though. We were also remiss to find that our more needy cat was very, very skinny. Despite our requests not to do so, attention was paid to the more gregarious cat who doesn't need nearly as much TLC. The sitter failed to report any weight loss which is very troubling. Still, we chalked it up to us being gone for the holidays. We used Gentle Hearts again this past weekend and it will be the FINAL time. I came home to find that our side door that comes into the basement stairwell was WIDE OPEN and the screen door was ajar, large enough for a cat to get through. I specifically remember checking ALL doors before leaving. The cats are constantly using this stairwell to get to their basement litter box. So, for reasons unknown, the pet sitter opened this door and LEFT IT OPEN THE ENTIRE TIME WE WERE GONE. This not only put at risk our curious cats (who, assuredly, left and THANKFULLY came back) but also all of our possessions. Car keys, medical records, prescriptions, electronics, furniture, bikes, tools, etc all at risk of theft because the sitter inexplicably opened the door and, again, LEFT IT OPEN. We'll be going with a competitor from now on. https://goo.gl/photos/VorquLj1VgjcW6yr7 read more

I don't post a lot of reviews, but I had to come in and give a HUGE thumbs up to Luke. He took care of my two aging pugs - four sets of eye drops and several other daily meds between them - for 10 days and did an excellent job. When we had a death in the family and had to extend our trip several more days, Luke didn't hesitate to say he could stay with them three more nights. But beyond that, Luke is a good soul. While we were gone, I needed help finding a special poem my grandmother wrote to help me write my eulogy for her. Luke stayed up until the early morning hours searching closets and going through dozens of photo albums until he found it. Then typed up the 2-page poem and emailed it to me. You know a person that cares that much about people is going to take great care of your animals. I owe Luke a huge debt for his help when we were in need. That he took such great care of our animals and our house was a bonus. I would highly recommend him. read more

It's always hard to leave my fur baby (a very loving orange tabby with a very big personality), but ever since I discovered Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting, my concerns about him when I'm traveling have disappeared. Michele is so wonderful and always sends me the sweetest updates about him, so I know he's always in good hands. Whenever I come back from a work trip or vacation, Emerson is always happy, healthy, and a little unimpressed (you can hear him thinking, "Oh, you left? I forgot."). They are my go-to pet sitting place now, and I've taken to really aggressively recommending them to all my pet parent friends as well. Thank you so much, Gentle Hearts!! read more

One year ago, I moved here from LA with my 50 lb German Shepard mix who is unpredictable around strangers. Anxious and upset from the move, he had only 4 days to acclimate before I started a full time job away from home. I had used a dog walking company in LA that we had come to like, but over the years my dog had gotten used to one specific dog walker and menacing towards any others. I found Gentle Hearts online and decided to give them a try based on price and positive reviews. Despite a couple successful 'meet and greet' sessions with Luke and then Carol (my dog is more comfortable with women), on my first day of work, my dog growled at Carol and refused to let her in the apartment. This persisted for days, but Carol was determined to make it work. She was super patient, tossing him treats from the door every day. Finally, after four days of this, he finally let her take him out, and they've been buddies ever since! Carol has been super accommodating to my last minute scheduling requests, and is so available I've often wondered if she ever leaves town! When she finally did leave for a week in October, she was super proactive about transitioning my dog to another walker, Lani. After daily 30-min walks M-F for the last year, I have zero complaints. Lani has been wonderful with my pup, and now that you can pay your bill online via PayPal, it couldn't be more convenient. I highly recommend Gentle Hearts to anyone looking for a daily dog walker, or any other pet services! read more

They took great care of our two scaredy-cats! We got home after a week overseas and both kitties were happy, healthy, and relaxed. They also watered our plants and brought in our mail. Obviously they love animals and take great pride in caring for them. I'll hire them anytime we go out of town again! read more

This was the first time that I used a Pet Sitter that was not a friend or family member. Luke and his team at Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting were absolutely great! I was so worried about leaving my kitten in the care of someone else but I never felt nervous about them. They are trustworthy and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. Luke really does care about animals and I am so happy that I found them! I will definitely use them again! read more

I initially contacted Gentle Hearts based off reviews, so I'm now leaving a review hoping I help another person looking for a dog walker or sitter. I was looking for a dog walker to help me during the day. Luke came over to meet the dogs and as soon as he walked in I knew this was the one. I have a 121 pound Great Pyrenees/German Shepard mix and a 21 pound Boston Terrier. The little one barks a lot and Luke immediately got on the floor to make my Boston more comfortable. That's how I knew. Cheryl walks the dogs during the day and they just love her! She leaves cute notes saying how they dogs did, and she is always accessible. One day I got pulled into too many meetings and couldn't come home at my usual time, so I sent a text to Cheryl seeing if she could walk the dogs for an hour instead of 30 minutes, and she did. Your pets are in good hands. Totally worth it and worry free. Oh, and you can pay online! One last thing to mention. They walk your dogs alone, which is something that I really appreciate. It truly is a quiet 30 minute walk for your dogs that include treats, cuddles and fresh water! Love them! read more

Gentle Hearts has been taking care of our little buddy while we are out of town for the last few years. I can't say enough good things about them! We get a log of all our pups activities while we are gone, emailed picture updates, mail brought in, blue apron meals unpacked and refrigerated when we forget they're arriving, emergency service extensions when flights fall through and best of all our pup is happy, well fed and loved on while we are gone. I'm normally a very anxious person and Now i never worry about our dogs care while out of town. My husband and I can't say enough great things about gentle hearts and would recommend them to anyone looking for help with their pet(s) when they are away. read more

I've used Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting a few times now and they've been great every time. If my family is unavailable this is the first place I call for pet sitting with overnight visits. We have two bulldogs and one was rescued from a puppy mill; he can be very uncomfortable around new places/people/dogs and Carol got along just fine with both of my pups. I appreciated that both Luke and Carol came to the house before we left town to meet the dogs and familiarize themselves with our pets' routine and their nuances. Thanks for everything, Carol! read more

I don't trust my dogs with anyone else. Gentle Hearts is consistent, thorough, tender, and compassionate with my four-legged family members. Their walkers are very professional, clearly love and respect animals, and are really great with communicating while you are away. (Sage is THE BEST, but everyone from GH who has worked with my pups over the last two and half years has been excellent.) read more

We have now used Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting on two occasions. We are thrilled with the service that we have received and highly recommend them. I am crazy attached to our 18 year old cat and am extremely anxious when we have to leave him alone. When Luke first arrived for the "meet and greet" I was relieved to see his genuine interest in our cat. Luke patiently waited for our cat to approach him. (Our cat can be a little "socially challenged".) Communication is great before, during and after our trip and everything was as expected. We will certainly use Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting again! read more

Luke was great! My lab Edie, doesn't always like new people, and she loved Luke right away. The treats probably helped, but you can tell he knows animals. I stumbled upon all these great Yelp reviews when looking for a place to board Edie, and was so happy to be able to have her stay at home for such a good price. In addition to the great care he gave my girl, he also left my place in better condition than I had, having cleaned up the yard. He kept my plants alive too! The detailed account of their daily outings was a pleasure to read. I am going to recommend him to everyone. Thank you Luke and Gentle Hearts Pet Sitting. read more

Carol and Luke are amazing. My dog loves them, and I do to. I trust them because they are so sensitive to the dog and his needs.

Gentle Hearts is fantastic! If you are considering a pet sitter, seriously don't look any further. I recently returned from several weeks out of the country & used GH to watch my cat. I didn't have wifi very often, but when I did, I could open my email from GH with updates on how she was doing along with a picture. It really put me at ease knowing she was in good hands while I was away. I'm not even sure my cat knew I was gone! haha read more

I was very nervous to leave my dogs in the care of someone not in the "circle of trust". Because I was in a jam, I contacted several people that were a referral of a referral. Not ideal. I scheduled a meet and greet with Luke. He was on time and great with my dogs. He brought thorough paperwork about specific care of my dogs. Although I felt nervous about leaving my dogs I didn't have a choice. However, upon my return, I found that my house was in very much the same condition it was in before I left and my dogs were very happy. Thankfully there wasn't any evidence of accidents. Best of all, I got a chuckle from reading Luke's notes re-capping his visits and walks. I plan on using Luke's pet sitting services again for sure. read more

Absolutely WONDERFUL!! So professional! They left a "report" card on how our two cats behaved and interacted while we were gone. Seriously AMAZING and we felt so comfortable leaving our critters in their care. Highly recommended! read more

We have been using Gentle Hearts for the past few months since moving to Denver and I highly recommend their dog walking services. Moving from downtown Chicago, we went through many dog walkers and Gentle Hearts is by far the best we have come across! Our pup is always happy when we get home each night. They are also super accommodating which is helpful for people with hectic schedules and the walkers are both prompt and responsible. Two paws up! read more

I'm truly sorry I haven't written this sooner. Coming up will be the third time Luke has watched my special needs kitties & I am so grateful to him. I have one cat with diabetes, who needs insulin twice a day, & another who has seizures. My need for a pet sitter came soon after my diabetic cat's diagnosis & Luke made me feel extremely at ease by giving me some insulin giving tips that even my Vet hadn't given me! My cats love him & are relaxed when I get home, so that tells me they are getting alot of love while I'm away. I was quite nervous about leaving them with a stranger, as I'm sure you are too, but now I wouldn't leave them with anyone else. read more

We have been using gentle hearts for daily walks for our dog since she was a 6 week old puppy. They are amazing! Our dog loves her walker more than anyone else and is always excited to see him. Scheduling is easy and they are very responsive. read more

I have been super happy with all our experiences with Gentle Hearts Pet sitting! We have a puppy and older dog who they take amazing care of while we are at work.I have a crazy schedule and often have request for walks last minute and they have always been able to see my pups. They feed my puppy and put up with all her energy. Love seeing the notes and updates about the dogs. Carol went above with my puppy when she got over heated on a walk and spent an hour with her even though I had only scheduled a thirty minute walk. So happy to have a dog walking service that I know I can trust to look out for my dogs. read more

These walkers are the best. The office is always prompt to return calls and emails. And they have always fit me in for walks (even when I work on the weekend!) Our walker Amy (and the other helpers) leave kind notes updating me on my dogs day. And the prices are extremely reasonable! We would be lost without them! Thanks Luke's Gentle Heart! read more

I was worried at first, but these guys are professional, prompt and my pooches are a lot more calm when I get home from 12 hours shifts!
