Client References and Reviews

“Charlie was great with our nervous herding dog - it takes the right, calm person who can settle right in. Charlie also was great with our sweet cat while we were out of town for a long weekend! Solid regular communication me us relax knowing the animals and the house were all in good care! Definitely recommend and will use Jigsaw for future pet needs.”

“This was our first time using Charlie and she was amazing from start to finish! I always get nervous leaving our 2 dogs, 2 cats, and chickens, but everything Charlie did put my mind at ease. She is professional, clean, sends updates, and is just an overall awesome pet sitter. We would highly recommend her and can’t wait to book her again! Thank you, Charlie!”
-Leslie R
“Jigsaw is such a gem to the Fort Collins area! Charlie takes incredible care of my kitties and always makes me feel completely at ease. Even my shy cat loves her. She consistently goes above and beyond and communicates along the way. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“Charlie is a wonderful pet sitter! It’s always hard leaving your pet when you go on vacation, but we always can trust that Charlie will take good care of our kitty when we’re gone!”
-Brooke L
“Charlie was a great support when I went away and we needed some drop in / walk appointments for our two dogs and cat. I ended up needing to stay away longer and she added 4 more days to our planned drop ins. I don’t know what we would’ve done without her! She sent us photos everyday. Thank you Charlie!”
-Diana S

"I would recommend Charlie to anyone who needs any pet service. We feel better about her making decisions about our dog when we’re gone knowing she has so much training knowledge."
—Julie M
"One time the dog had to have dental work just before we left and he was not allowed his usual bones. Charlie found other ways to keep him happy and he was completely weaned from bones when we got home! I highly recommend Charlie for all animal care."
