Dog Walkers & Pet Sitters – Meet the Team

Hello! I have been working with animals since I was 8 years old. I love them all, every size and shape! I am in the process of becoming an RVT and have been working in vet med for the past 2 years. I have my Bachelor’s in Animal Science from Oregon State. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own, Jennifer, Joe, and Charlie. I love them all very much!

Jacob brings a wealth of experience to the YBFF Team, having served as a Kennel Tech and Playroom Attendant at various dog daycares and boarding facilities. His diverse background includes caring for a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, pigs, sheep, and reptiles, where he has excelled in providing essential services like dog walks, feeding, bathing, and administering medication. Currently, Jacob is pursuing his Bachelor’s degree.

Hi, I’m Melissa, originally from New Orleans and now based in Colorado for the past five years. I’ve developed a strong passion for hiking and staying active, which naturally aligns with my love for working with dogs. I’m a dedicated pet owner myself, with two dogs, and I understand the importance of reliable, attentive care.  I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, exercised, and well cared for.

Colorado Native. Rancher. Farmer. Writer. So much animal experience all throughout my journey of life. I’m just taking my turn with the ones I have now: Chihuahua Smores, My Cat Honey, and Her two Kittens!

Hi! My name is Sadie, I’m a Colorado native and I’ve always had lots of animals. I’ve worked at PetSmart and have been doing pet sitting for a couple of years. I’ve work with dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, and reptiles. Working with your furry friends is more than just a job, it brings me so much happiness and I can’t wait to meet them!

I am a passionate animal caregiver with experience in veterinary medicine, dog bathing, doggy daycare, and much more! I have experience with multiple types of animals including select reptiles and rodents. As my love for animals grows, I strive to provide the best care to all animals. A fur-mom of two pups and a cat myself, I know that each pet has their own personality and routine. That’s why I value the compassion and flexibility it takes to care for each and every one of them.

Hello! My name is Tiffany, and I’m Becki’s daughter. Growing up, I’ve had the opportunity to share my home with many animals, which has helped foster my lifelong love for them. Currently, my home is shared with 3 dogs – Holly, Cooper, and Rudy, and my cat, Ash.  I’m a Colorado native with plenty of pet-sitting experience and experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has their own unique personality, needs, and quirks, and I believe it’s important to take the time to understand each one. I also love being able to give pet owners peace of mind while they’re away, knowing their animal companions are being loved and cared for. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just as they would be in your own hands. I want you to have peace of mind knowing your beloved pets are receiving excellent care!

Hi, I’m Dani! A Colorado native with a lifelong passion for animals. My background comes from a lifetime of loving my own pets—including our late yellow lab, Maia, the absolute doggy love of our life. My journey also includes some independent pet sitting and a meaningful seven-year chapter living in Ecuador where I spent some of my free time helping local strays by feeding them and getting them vet care when needed, and volunteered at a local dog sanctuary. My husband and I even brought our two beloved cats back to Colorado with us!  Today, I share my home with my husband, our wonderful six-year-old son, and our two cats. I treat every animal like family and love giving your pets the dedicated care, comfort, and affection they need while you’re away.
