Let us help you find care

Happy Helpers simplifies your search for quality and reliable caregivers.  Happy Helpers allows you to find care quickly and easily by simply booking through our mobile app.  After submitting a booking request, a qualified sitter will be matched to the job based on their qualifications and availability.


 To ensure your family's safety and peace of mind, our extensive network of skilled caregivers undergo a screening process, including:

  • a 7-year history background check
  • a 30-min in-person interview
  • 2 relevant reference checks
  • an onboarding training session


As local Fort Collins parents, we know how important it is to have a trustworthy provider to support you when you need extra help. The owner and founder, Laura Michaud, is a mom who lives in Fort Collins and values the family-friendly community here. Laura and her husband Brendan founded Happy Helpers because they know firsthand how valuable it is to have someone you trust watch your children and pets. They value taking breaks for date nights, and other activities, and find that booking a sitter once a week has strengthened their relationship! On the pet sitting side, Laura has a lifelong passion for travel and is always planning their next adventure, so finding reliable and affordable care for their 2 miniature Australian shepherds has always been a priority.


Being busy with working and raising their 4 and 3 year old, meant that sometimes it was hard to find a sitter when they needed one, so the idea formed to create an agency where families can easily book care providers through an app. It's super simple and allows families to rest assured that they have coverage when they need it without the hassle of calling multiple sitters and managing the process of finding someone themselves. We know you will love it once you try it, and we're here to help.
