“Mali took amazing care of my dog Luna, over the Christmas holidays. She walks Luna twice a day, gave her kong with almond butter (which Luna absolutely loves), and spent quality time either with her at home. It was clear that Mali genuinely cared about Luna’s well being and comfort. I felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such good hands. I highly recommend Mali to anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter! She is great 😊”


“Zephyr is so excited when Paul comes. He knows he is going for a walk and will talk to him upon arrival. He loves his walks and time with Paul to get out and see the neighborhood and enjoy some scented air. Thank you so much!”


About: Hi there! I’m a full-time, professional pet and house sitter serving Denver, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, and everywhere in between. I carry independent pet-sitting insurance and approach every job with professionalism, consistency, and genuine care. Growing up, I was the primary caregiver for our family’s Cairn Terrier, and that lifelong love for animals has become my career. Since I can't currently have pets of my own, caring for yours is both my livelihood and my joy. I work best with animals who are reasonably socialized and do well with new people in their space. I understand that every pet has a unique rhythm, and I pride myself on reading their cues; whether they want play, affection, structure, or simply space to relax. I’d be honored to care for your companions while you're away. Feel free to reach out with questions or to set up a meet-and-greet. Pet and house sitting is my full-time career, so my schedule is flexible and completely centered around the animal companions in my care. I build each day around their routines: walks, meals, medications, brushing, and play, so they feel secure and at ease while you're away. When sitting in your home, I make it a priority to follow all written instructions exactly. I offer companionship and playtime when they seek it, and quiet presence when they need space. I also tend to household needs as agreed upon: bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining a clean, peaceful environment. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I maintain your home as a quiet, stable environment and follow all instructions precisely; from feeding schedules to gate locks and leash protocols. I adapt to the energy of each animal. Some pets love frequent play sessions and attention, others just want somebody present throughout the day. I respect those rhythms and keep your pet’s stress to a minimum by honoring their usual routines. If your pet requires medication, special grooming, or added attention, I ensure it’s done gently and reliably. I never bring other animals into your home, and I do not invite guests without your permission; your pet and property receive my full attention.

“Sure! Here’s a polished version of your review: ⸻ We made a last-minute reservation, and she responded quickly with great communication throughout. She sent us updates and pictures of our dogs during the walk, which gave us peace of mind. Highly recommend her services, and we’ll definitely reach out again if we’re back in Golden!”


About: Dogs truly are my life - I am a dog mom, foster, rescue volunteer, and dog sitter because caring for dogs brings me so much joy. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have fostered and dog sat for over 6 years, working with all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities - including puppies, seniors, and special-needs pups. Rescue is my passion and I’ve been able to foster so many wonderful dogs with a wide variety of personalities and quirks! I’m confident caring for all kinds of dogs and will treat yours like one of my own. I'm available weekdays and weekends, and work from home. I have a large fenced-in yard for safe playtime, and my two friendly dogs love having company. If your dog prefers solo time, that’s totally fine too! Whether it’s cuddle time or adventures, your pup will be in great hands with me. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and potty breaks throughout the day. I'm also available on weekends. I can always adjust my schedule to fit your dogs needs! Safety and comfort are my top priorities. At my home, dogs are always supervised, have plenty of room to play outside, and can relax indoors with cozy spots to nap. I do slow, calm introductions with all dogs to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I follow each pet parent’s care instructions closely. And I treat every dog like family and want you to feel confident and at ease while they’re at my house!

About: As a child, I grew up with two Chow Chows in my family's home. Having the opportunity to be around dogs started my love of dogs and animals in general. I am a Certified Vet Assistant and a Certified fear free pet sitter. So as you see, I have a passion for helping animals thrive. While I was in the Vet Assistant programming at school, I was required to complete an internship. I thoroughly enjoyed the internship since I was able to receive invaluable hands on experience with dogs. I am proud of the rewards I have received for my work ethic and academic achievements so I hope this is a true testament of how conscientious I will be while taking care of your animal. Thorough my Fear free pet certificate I have gained valuable insite on how to make you pets stay with me a lot more fun for all parties involved, giving you the peace of mind knowing your animal(s) are in specialty hands. I am currently working at Banfield Pet Hospital, but I still have plenty of energy to play with your pup! I am currently available more in the evenings for meet and greets. when I stay at your home I will at least take your dog out for a Morning walk and a Afternoon/evening walk. They will also bee fed when and how often we discussed in our meet and greet. Their water will also be changed on a daily biases and if needed the bowls the selves will be cleaned. If your dog is really into playing with their toys I will gladly play with them. As for the Dogs who are not into playing with toys that much I can find other activities that the dog or cat would in joy. An example of this is Crafting dog clothes for the dog to wear and then taking pictures of them.

Taylor G.Star Sitter
“Taylor has been an excellent caregiver for my sweet (and particular!) kitty Starfire for several years since we became friends. Typically Starfire is irritated/shy with a sitter if Mom is gone, but she welcomes affection/pets/etc. from Taylor which very much helps her internal woes. She can sense his genuine love for cats + animals. Taylor sends me pictures which helps me on the other end of missing her and reports on any unusual and/or happy experiences while I’m gone. Super reassuring! In a nutshell, I can relax most of all when out of town if it’s Taylor taking care of my one and only baby. Thanks Taylor and big kudos from me and Starfire <3”

Jacqueline Z.
“I can’t say enough good things about Jackie!! She watched my pup, Whiskey for two wks while I was out of the country, and I felt totally at ease the entire time. Whiskey can be a little sensitive and particular, but Jackie was so patient and clearly understood how to make him feel comfortable. I got regular updates and pics of him and her two sweet shepherds, just hanging out and having a good time, and that made me feel like he was right at home, not just being “watched.” When I picked him up, he was so happy but also sad to leave, he had clearly had a blast and was so loved. I really appreciated how communicative and thoughtful Jackie was over the 2 wks I was gone. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and honestly feel lucky to have found someone I trust with my dog!!”

If hired she would make sure that the pets come first. Her passion is animals and I can see her going far in any job dealing with them.”
Applewood dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mercedes was amazing! Communicative, friendly, knowledgeable, and flexible. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walk (which is what we had her for). She listened how we wanted our dog walked (training wise) and she enforced the "rules" but had fun in the process. Highly highly recommend!

I couldn’t be happier with the care Chris provided for Bella! From the moment I reached out, he was super responsive, professional, and clearly loves animals. He took the time to ask all the right questions to make sure he understood Bella's needs and routines, which made me feel really confident about leaving her with him. Chris sent me photos and updates and Bella looked so happy on her walk, so it really put my mind at ease. If you're looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog walker or sitter, you should definitely reach out to Chris! I'll definitely be asking him to help with Bella in the future for walks and when I have to go out of town! Thanks, Chris!
