“Addison was so accommodating, easy to communicate with and sweet with my dog! She sent updates and pictures, and took great care of her. Highly recommend and hope to book with her again in the future :)”



“10 starts to Rohin for his setup for the dogs, his communication and ease with bonus photos while away and his professionalism of care for my dog. My dog loves going, can see happy going in, happy upon my arrival and happy and no different when we get back from a Rohin stay over. He is a blessing to us dog lovers. Thank you Rohin, a professional and good man with top 10 stars caring for my dog. I have booked in the past and will always book with him. I trust him 100% and recommend him 100%. I am 60 years old, a mother, a grandmother and love my dog too. This is the place I wish everyone could have if they need to leave their dog. It helps you travel at ease and return at ease as I see how my dog reacts upon my drop off and pickups and his behavior at home. He is the same and so happy. He loves to play with dogs and be outside as much as possible but also needs rest and a safe place inside too. He provides it all and easy to deal with the separation for me and my dog. Not easy to just leave your dog and he makes it the easiest and worry free as it could be. And what a great person Rohin is to speak with and arrange. He listens to details about my dog, what my concerns are, his special needs and etc. I know he cares for my dog like it is his dog. How blessed and appreciative I am!!! 1000% Thank you Rohin!!!

“By all accounts Maple had a great time with Fred! I enjoyed the pictures and could tell she was in a dog lovers home! Peace of mind, while out of town, is priceless.”


“Della is a complete professional. I highly recommend her and would leave our dog with her again. She cared for him thoughtfully and sensitively and with permission and encouragement from us even socialized him with other dogs and took him into situations that helped him learn more flexibility. He returned to us happy and confident.”


“Maggie was great with our little one! So kind, quick to respond, and caring. We really appreciated her love for dogs and her enthusiasm to care for our fur baby, highly recommend!”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Derek and Jennifer as pet sitters! They took care of my furry family member as if she were their own, and I was truly impressed with the level of care and attention they provided. From the very beginning, Derek and Jennifer were incredibly sweet and professional, putting my mind at ease about leaving my pet in their hands. One of the highlights of their service was their consistent communication. They sent regular updates and photos, which made me feel connected to my pet even when I was away. It was such a relief to know that my pet was not only safe but also having a great time and receiving lots of love and attention. Their attention to detail and genuine care were evident in every interaction. My pet was happy, healthy, and relaxed when I got home, which speaks volumes about their dedication and expertise. I highly recommend Derek and Jennifer to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet-sitting service. They exceeded all my expectations and provided an exceptional experience. Thank you, Derek and Jennifer, for being truly amazing!”



“Chelsea was FANTASTIC!!! She always made sure to take so many pictures of my baby. She took my dog for a walk and let her run around on such beautiful green grass fields every day! She went out of her way to drop my dog off to me as well. 10/10!!!”


“Claudia was great with my cat who stayed in her home for 5 days. He needs regular medicine of two types and Claudia was great about specific instructions while also giving him the attention he needs. I also appreciated the regular photos she sent me. My mind was at ease knowing my cat was in good hands. I would definitely have Claudia help me out again and definitely recommend her as a sitter!”


“Rui had our lil' ol Charlie Girl at her house for 3-nights (4 full days) and was caring and attentive to her needs. Charlie takes a few supplements and has a little more complex diet and Rui made sure she had all she needed. Charlie was grateful to have access to the bed and sofa, too. :-D We look forward Rui taking care of her, again, next month!”


“Katelynn was amazing! Our dog was so happy and so contently tired after staying with Katelynn. She sent us some great photos and we would absolutely love to leave Orion with her again!”


About: I have adored animals my entire life. I grew up with a small cockapoo named Zoe who passed away a couple years ago at 16. I adopted my own dog, Teddi, April 2023! Having my own dog has taught me so much about being a loving, hands-on caregiver. In addition to raising Zoe and my new puppy Teddi, I’ve spent many summers rescuing and fostering litters of feral kittens. Living in our home, I focused daily on socializing and caring for these litters until they were ready to be adopted by loving families. I partnered with a local animal shelter not only for the opportunity to help kittens, but also to be part of their dog program. I spent many volunteer hours walking and playing with all different sizes and breeds of dogs while they too waited for adoption. Working with both dogs and cats has helped me become an empathetic and enthusiastic caregiver. I have developed the skills necessary to handle the challenges that different animals may present, and love each one wholeheartedly as they are. My new puppy suffers from some separation anxiety so I am well equipped on how to care for and support dogs who miss their owners. She also has allergies so I also have some experience with how to cater to different food preferences! Friends and family have also depended on me for help with their pet care over the years. I am experienced in walking, bathing, feeding, playing, and all of kinds of care practices. Whatever your pet(s) needs, I’d love to take care of them and treat them with love and attention. Currently, my schedule is open and flexible for pet care. I live in Boulder, have a remote part time job and am taking remote online classes at CU Boulders business school. My days mostly revolve around taking care of my dog Teddi. I have plenty of time for walks, hikes, going to parks, etc… I am excited to care for your kiddo during the day or stay over with him/her as needed in your home. I would also love to have your fur babies in my home. Teddi loves other dogs and would be happy to help host!

“My dog spent a wonderful weekend with Christine and her calm and sweet-natured pup. Christine did a wonderful job getting her exercised and reported with regular updates on how she was doing with pics included. When I picked my dog up on Sunday, she was happy, well fed and ready to come home. I'd recommend Christine to anyone for a caring and communicative dogsitter.”


About: Hi there! My name is Aviva and my husband and I have lived in Boulder for 6 years. I love dogs so much I didn’t make it very long without one for myself and adopted an awesome mutt named (Tom) Brady! Flash forward and we now have a second mutt named Lando (Norris). Throughout high school I trained and took care of my own two rambunctious labs as well as walked multiple neighbors dogs and now continue that in college for certain professors. I love and can handle dogs of all sizes, with most of my experience being from 40-100 pound dogs. I’m am an avid hiker and walker so your dog is in for a workout! Due to my own dogs and services, I have primarily worked with cats in the last year. I have administered medication to both dogs and cats and learned how to take care of all furry friends! With two large and high energy dogs I am very used to accommodating my routine around pets and their needs. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule around my classes. I am very safe with pets and believe in clear communication with the owner to understand their needs for the home and safety of their pet. Whether that is opening windows during my visit then closing them, crating their dog, or not taking their dog to a dog park if they are not good with others dogs. I have two reactive dogs so I understand how important it is to know a pets needs and communicate it clearly.

“I cannot recommend Curtis enough. We received professional service that I could tell his heart is really into. Our dog was cared for extremely well! I will have no hesitation booking with Curtis in the future.”


“Elise was wonderful! Our pup liked her immediately- she has a friendly, warm energy about her. She sent us updates and pics throughout the weekend. Elise is the kind of person you can trust will take great care of your baby :)”


“Thank you Nicole and Spencer for all the attention you gave to our girls. We appreciated all the pictures you sent us frequently, we felt reassured that they were having their fun also. We could not find a better family with 2 caring boys mainly with our oldest chihuahua. We hope to see you again soon!”

Boulder dog parents share their Rover experiences
Mychaela is everything we could have hoped for to care for our pup. We are from out of town so could not do a meet-and-greet, but her approach, communications and caring are genuine and really put us at ease. We strongly recommend her - with so many 5 star reviews we had high hopes - all exceeded.

Rhea was amazing with Nino! Communication was quick and clear, and I got plenty of updates and photos while I was away. Nino looked happy, relaxed, and well-cared for when I returned. I’ll definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care.

Holly gives Sophia four paws up! 🐾💕 She absolutely adores dogs, and it showed in the way she cared for Holly during our 5 days away. From fun walks to lots of playtime and snuggles, Sophia kept her tail wagging the whole time. I could relax knowing Holly was in the hands of someone who truly loves and understands dogs. Highly recommend!

If I could give 10 stars I would. Dana was wonderful and so accommodating of our last minute plans. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our dog. He seemed very comfortable at her house! I will definitely be in touch again for future dog care needs.

Delaney was amazing, and was super flexible with a last minute booking due to another sitter being very flaky and unprofessional resulting in a last minute cancellation. I came into the reservation really anxious and nervous about leaving my pup, and Delaney went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable with the situation and sent lots of updates on my dog’s care. I would definitely recommend Delaney for pet care and will be booking with her again.

Kait was great! She watched two of my dogs, one of which is a senior dog on a couple of medications, and they were very well taken care of! It was nice to head out of town and know the two of them were in great hands. Kait sent regular updates and had prompt communication. Will most definitely use her again!!
