About: I have had dogs my entire life, and taken care of them in full for my family, friends and neighbors. I love four legged furry friends; giving them walks, playing with them and making them feel comfortable. I have always adopted rescue dogs so have a good sense of how to take care of apprehensive dogs, as well as hyperactive or dogs that need more attention and a patient trainer. I have amateur experience training dogs and have learned tips from my sister who is an experienced dog trainer and dog walker. I have chickens at home and have cared for furry, scaled and feathered friends in the past, I love them all. I am patient and loving when it comes to taking care of animals and hope you will consider me to take care of your best friend(s)! My partner and I have recently lost our best furry friend and I would love a reason to get outside more often with my favorite animal (dogs!) or any animal at all. I currently work full time but am off on Sundays/Mondays as well as evenings. My job allows me to leave midday as needed. If I can plan ahead with a care schedule, I have no issue fitting walks/care as needed. I personally have always had free range dogs, but have experience with free ranging as well as crated dogs. I am comfortable working with contained pets as well; chickens, other birds, snakes, tarantulas etc.

“Sammy was great! We realized last minute we couldn’t take our pup to Rocky Mountain National Park while we were going to Estes Park for the weekend. Sammy was easy to communicate with and did her best to keep our pup comfortable during her stay even though she was a little anxious! Thankful for Sammy and would recommend!”


About: I have two rescue dogs. Their personalities are opposite as night and day. One is very energetic and the other is a couch potato! Whether you have a high energy pup or calm one, your dog will find a friend here. My energetic pup knows when to stop playing if it’s not reciprocated in the first 15 minutes. I have a giant playpen and crate for dogs who need their alone time or is required by the parents. Those doors are always open. No need to bring yours. I separate all dogs while eating and let them out when they’re done. We mostly stay in the living room watching tv or outside. I have grown up with labs, chihuahuas and pit bulls. I have been dog/cat sitting for years for family and friends. I am fairly new to Rover. My fur family enjoys hiking and going to the park. We walk the neighborhood for 2 hrs a day. I am comfortable giving medicine. My dogs are my children and I take care of other animals like their mine. I worked as a manager for large department stores so I am very dependable and responsible. Thank you for your interest in me! I am currently working part time. My job is flexible. However, if you’ve booked me less than 48 hrs, we will have to agree on a good time for a drop off. I am able to be present with my animals majority of the day. If you request to board, make sure you bring everything your dog needs for a successful stay. Appropriate size collars/harness, training pads, etc. If your dog is an escape artist or doesn’t walk on a leash well, disclose that to me. So I can prepare myself before each walk and not be caught off guard. I also provide a quiet relaxing space for dogs. If your dog barks excessively and not the casual barking here and there, I would not be able to babysit them. Feel free to reach out to me at any time. I will do the same if there’s a question I’m not sure of.

About: I have 2 guinea pigs in open cages but they are in a room where I can close the door if needed. I have many years experience sitting dogs for many family and friends! I had dogs most of my life. My most recent dog passed away in 2024. No other dogs in the household I work from home Monday through Friday! I do have church on Sundays. Aside from that. I am almost always home unless I am on vacation. I have a large fenced in back yard. Plenty of room for your loved ones to run, play and potty! I have two guinea pigs in an open cage setting, however they are in a room where I can close a door if needed. If your dog is not potty trained I do ask for you to bring a kennel I can put them in for short times when running to the store.

“Highly recommend Brandon! He was quick to respond and Django said he was really cool to hang out with 😃. Took him for a long walk and sent me a picture of him, too. We will absolutely contact Brandon for future visits.”


“I needed someone to keep our very new puppy, without any experience with puppies I didn't want to put her in the little cage. So I searched on Rover and found this very wonderful family. They were very helpful, kind and accommodating especially since she hadn't completed her shots. If you are looking for someone to treat your furry family member like their own family you have found your sitter. They helped tremendously..... Thanks”

“Kristall was so kind to take our 10 week old pup after a very last minute request. Our pup joined us only 4 days before we realized we needed a sitter for about 5 hours. And I forgot to make a request until the night before. Kristall was friendly, sweet, and immediately good with our pup. She obviously loves dogs. When we picked up our pup, he was happy and looking good. He enjoyed the yard and the love. Kristall was flexible with our a bit uncertain return time, too. I recommend Kristall highly and plan to request her again.”
