Janice
Owner and Founder | |
Hi, I'm Janice, owner and founder of YBFF. Animals have always been an integral
part of my life. I am a Colorado native and have, since childhood, owned pets
of various types ... dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, bunnies, fish, horses, goats,
and a couple of raccoons. I owned and showed quarter horses throughout my youth.
I am the proud Mom of Buster, a Dalmation, Hank, a lab/plot hound mix, and Avery,
a very cool cat. After many years working in the corporate world, I came to the
conclusion that I was missing something...I was missing animals...there is nothing
better than working with animals. Large or small, indoor or outdoor, much happiness
does indeed come from pet ownership and interaction with animals. With my extensive
corporate background, YBFF was launched in 1999 to combine business skills with
my love of animals. I have found my true happiness. |

Erin
Office & Client Relations Manager | |
Hi, I’m Erin, office and client relations manager. I am a huge animal fan.
I’ve owned horses, cats, dogs, fish, and a raccoon (who decided not to leave because
of the excellent accommodations!) I owned and showed quarter horses for many years.
Right now I am the proud mother to Doodles, a Labradoodle, and Hostess, a fish
(she throws great parties!).
The opportunity to become part of the YBFF team is a dream come true. To have
a job working with animals, and people who love animals is like not having a job
at all.
I am a Colorado native and went all the way through high school in Denver. I
attended the University of Northern Colorado where I received a BA in Communication
and Journalism. I worked many years in the advertising/sales arena and felt it
was time to make a change.
I love working with all the paws and claws (and hooves) and their families. |
PET SITTERS & DOG WALKERS |

Mary
Full Time Pet Sitter/Dog Walker | |
Greetings! My name is Mary, I joined the YBFF team in 2008 and am absolutely
ecstatic to be a part of this wonderful YBFF team! For as long as I can remember,
there has been a strong undercurrent in my life…my great passion for animals.
As a child my home was like a menagerie! Whether furry, feathered, scaly, or
slimy, I cherished each pet for their own unique qualities. I strongly believe
that every creature should be well loved and nurtured, and I can promise that
I will bring this commitment to the care of your pets.
I hold a Bachelors degree in English from Metropolitan State College of Denver,
but I have realized that my desire to work with animals is greater than my ability
to truly thrive in an office environment. I am excited and honored that YBFF
has given me the opportunity to pursue my passion in my working life.
Recreationally, as a Colorado native, I am a lover of the great outdoors. My
favorite days are spent exploring the mountains and dog parks with my wonderful
husband, Andi, and my two adorable mutts, Audrey and Obi. My small furry family
is my greatest joy in life, and I pledge to give each one of your pets the same
love and attention I give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved
companions! |

Anita
Full Time Pet Sitter/Dog Walker | |
My name is Anita, a full time pet sitter/dog walker with the YBFF team!! I love
my days out on long walks in the beautiful Colorado sun with all our furry friends.
Pups, kitties, horses, piggies, alligators,... you name it - they're all amazing
to me.
I was raised in this great state, and I've spent the vast majority of my life
here. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and Tucker - my seven year
old golden - and Hulk - my big, fat crazy cat - get all that love when I'm not
playing with our YBFF family. Having worked in telecommunications and hospitality
for a number of years, I can definitely tell you I'm ecstatic to be with the best
pet care provider in the world. My organization, service and management skills
grew significantly as a result of these opportunities, but my real love is caring
for those who love us without reservation.
Being a part of YBFF makes me so incredibly happy since we have the same goals
- to provide exceptional, personalized service and make sure we're Your Best Friend's
Friend! |

Brooke
Full Time Pet Sitter/Dog Walker | |
Hi, My name is Brooke. I am so excited and thrilled to be a part of this amazing
company! I recently changed careers so I could follow my dream of caring for
and helping animals. I am a Colorado native born and raised. I love it here because
I can do all the things I love. Snowboard, hike, mountain bike, cycle, camp, and
go to the dog park with my doggies. I am very active in doing charity work and
participating in 5Ks, triathlons, snowshoe walks, and anything that may help bring
awareness to people and animals that need it most.
I am currently taking classes at the Misha May Holistic Center that helps neglected
and abused animals find adoptive families. It’s a wonderful non-profit that helps
these pets find loving homes.
I have so much love to give your pets. I think it is such a blessing to see
their furry faces everyday! Thank you so much for the opportunity to care for
your animals. |
OVERNIGHT & FILL-IN TEAM |

Patti
Overnight Pet/Home Sitter
Fill-In Help Too!! | |
Hello, my name is Patti and I have been a member of the YBFF Overnight
team since 2007 and I feel honored to be a part of this fabulous team. I have
lived in Colorado most of my life and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I just
moved back to Littleton from Sedalia where I had lived with our horses and dogs.
I breed and show Labradors and have two yellow labs, Spencer and Misty. I have
been a medical assistant for 25+ years and am currently working with a large group
of orthopedic surgeons. Due to my health care experience, I am able to provide
exceptional care for elderly and special needs pets. My new living arrangements
allow me to accommodate any overnight requirements for pet sitting. My love for
animals is second to none and I will provide loving and nurturing care for your
pets. |

Rebecca
Overnight Pet/Home Sitter
Fill-In Help Too!! | |
Hi, my name is Becca and who wouldn’t be honored to be a part of YBFF team?
I’ve been part of the team since 2008, and I specialize in overnight pet sitting.
I have grown up with numerous pets; mostly cats, dogs, and fish, but some reptiles,
rodents, and horses. I have two pets of my own, Coda my Pekingese beauty and Dice
my lovely cat (white with 6 black spots, she really looks like Dice).
Here is some info about me to help you get to know me better. I am a native of
Colorado, and I am currently residing in Southeast Denver. I have a bachelor degree
in Interior Design, and I am currently working as an office designer. I am also
a graduate student at CU Denver pursuing a Masters in Architecture. Some of my
extracurricular activities include Color guard, Pro-wrestling, and Aerial dance;
obviously I love to try anything that is unique and different.
I think my love of animals comes from my fascination of numerous studies that
show the psychological and health benefits that come from being around animals.
After being in an office all day, pet sitting is such a reward and helps me get
away from the stressful world that we live in. I would love to be a part of your
pet’s life, and give them the love and care they deserve. |

Vicki
Overnight Pet/Home Sitter | |
Hello, my name is Vicki, and it is great to be a part of the YBFF sub contractor
team specializing in overnight pet/home care! Over many years I have had the pleasure
of working with many different creatures in a variety of professional and fun
locations. I am hoping the skills and qualifications I have earned will enhance
your pet sitting experience.
My main passion is wildlife. However I have worked with small animals, as well
as wildlife and exotics, and loved every experience. I've been fortunate to have
volunteered during my travels at a variety of Wildlife Sanctuaries, such as Argentina,
Thailand and Italy. Among my travels I worked with felines small and large, elephants,
dogs, reptiles, birds, monkeys, just to name a few. Before moving to Colorado
a few months ago, I was employed as a veterinary technician in Chicago where I
gained valuable experience in the field of small animal healthcare.
I have also been pet sitting for over 6 years and acquired many good friends
through the experiences. I am currently a student at Bel-Rea Animal Technology
Institute, which in itself shows my passion towards animals! I am skilled in medicating,
administering injections, bandaging, and providing pets with top of the line basic
care, and I'm still learning more!
I am so lucky to have my two kitties, Belly and Lilly, who are beyond my family
and have taught me so much as well.
I look forward to meeting you and your pets and making them a part of my life. |

Cheryl
Overnight Pet/Home Sitter | |
Hi, my name is Cheryl, a member of the YBFF team. This is absolutely the job
of my dreams and I am excited to be taking care of your furry, feathery and scaly
friends.
I moved here in 2009 all the way from the east coast to attend Bel-Rea’s veterinary
technician training program. Animals have always been my passion, they are always
there for you, never judge you and always give you unconditional love. I decided
to leave my professional grooming career in Connecticut to expand my knowledge
in the animal field. I can’t picture ever doing anything that does not involve
animals.
I’ve always had a knack for taking care of animals. As a child I grew up with
many different little friends, rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles, gerbils and mice
and I did pet sitting for all the neighborhood dogs. I moved to the beautiful
rocky mountains with by best friend Cain, an 11 year old boxer, my two cats Thunder
and Jangles and my turtle, Hambone. I love hiking and camping and anything outdoors
which makes Colorado a perfect fit. I’m so excited to have gotten such a perfect
opportunity to work with all your animals! |
