Tess is always a fantastic help when we are away. She goes above and beyond the excellent care for the kitties, but she also brings in mail, packages, and helps with bringing out and in the trash cans on long trips. Tess is very responsive and a great cat sitter! Thanks, Tess!!

About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life and have now adopted a Labrador puppy of my own. He’s a crazy little guy so I feel like it’s qualified me to work with dogs that have all types of personalities. I’ve recently graduated and am looking for jobs, so I am completely flexible with my time. Besides caring for my own pup, I can be right there for your pets whenever you need! I have a small fenced yard that’s made life easier with my puppy, but I also take him on frequent walks. He eats well and has too many toys to count. He gets treated like a king! If I were trying to find someone on Rover to care for him, I would want the same treatment – and that is what you’ll get from me!

Maddison took excellent care of my cat while I was away on a trip! She even watered my plants when they were thirsty, which I really appreciated. She communicated with me effectively and was respectful of my home.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life! I had three cats and a dog growing up, along with helping out with pets of my other family members. I did an unpaid internship at a veterinary hospital so I know how important it is to take good care of our animals! I’m currently in college classes for a few hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Now that it’s getting warmer outside, I’m excited to be able to do outdoor walks with your pups! My home is laid out so there is no danger of your pet getting into anything and I live in a good neighborhood for walking around!

About: Hello fellow pet lovers!! My name is Natalia, I am a college student in psychology looking for some quality time taking care of whatever furry (or not furry) companion you have! I am originally from mexico so I am fluent in both English and Spanish in case you have a Hispanic fella :) I have experience babysitting with families with dogs, and grew up with a big dog of my own so I know all about what it takes to properly care for the big guys too. I can administer medication and also go take the really active fellas on runs. I’m a college student but I don’t currently have a job so the only thing on my schedule are my classes. I’m available all throughout weekends and in the evenings most weekdays, but I can also be very flexible and tweak my schedule to accommodate yours I am very aware of what happens around me so I can react quickly to anything that happens. Grew up with a big dog so I’ll be able to handle any size of dog.

Christa took excellent care of our cats while we were away. I could tell she truly cared for them and was very communicative about how they were doing. She was attentive to their individual needs and provided detailed updates. Our cats seemed to take to her instantly. We hope she can continue to care for our cats in the future.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, I have plenty of experience with cats, and I have pet sit for numerous friends and family in the past. I am a huge animal lover and I am confident handling pets of any age or size. I am a recent graduate of CU Boulder with some extra time to kill before I head off to graduate school this fall, and I would love to spend it with your pet! I have full availability this summer while I wait to attend medical school in the fall. My schedule is very flexible and can accommodate a wide range of needs and time constraints. Overnights, late night check ins, and walks in the middle of the day are no problem! My only limitation is that I am not able to offer boarding at my house. My number one priority is maintaining the safety of your pet and your home. Not only will I keep your space tidy and clean, but I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and healthy. My pets are treated as members of the family, and I will make sure that yours are given the same amount of love.

Jana is the absolute best! She took such good care of our cat. We appreciate how happy she kept him over the holidays - we could tell he felt safe and comfortable with her and that put us at ease leaving him for the first time ever. She sent wonderful photos every day that made our entire day whenever we got them. We are so grateful to Jana! ☺️

About: I understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your beloved pet and want to be there to support and love on your dog. I pride myself on my compassion, love, and understanding of all pets and their unique needs. I am a college student that loves to work with animals. I have classes during the day but am available in the early mornings, afternoons and evenings to take care of your pets. I am also available on weekends and for overnight care. I understand the concern that may come with leaving your pet with a stranger and take careful consideration in to making sure that doors are closed behind me, safety hazards are removed from the pets reach, and a high level of attentiveness while on walks.

About: I pet-sit frequently for family and neighbors and it brings be joy that they entrust me with there pets. I grew up with two large dogs, a family cat, and eventually a cat to care for on my own. I learned to care for elderly dogs when mine grew old as well as knowing the discipline of a cat for myself. I am a college student. Over the summer I have a morning class from 9-10am Monday through Friday, but besides that my days are open. I hace a fenced in back yard from my previous dogs as well as a friendly neighbor dog who likes to run alongside the fence (on the other side) when there is a dog in our yard. I live in a one story home which gave easier access to elderly pets.

I can say it all simply. Carly is the best! She is caring, patient, thorough, kind, and very loving to my two cats who are not always "easy." Carly shines every time. She is totally trustworthy, very generous, utterly reliable, and sweetly caring and loving as if my cats were her own. Thank you, Carly.

Allie took great care of our senior cat, Buddy, even coming up with an innovative way to get him to take his medication! She followed our detailed instructions and gave him lots of love and lap sits. We really appreciated the pics and videos she sent us and could tell Buddy was happy with her by his loud purring. We will definitely book Allie again. Thanks Allie!
