“Maggie took such great care of my dog. From multiple updates a day and long walks to tire my pup out, I knew my dog was in good hands. She seemed so happy in the videos Maggie sent me and it was even hard for my dog to leave when the time came to go home. She was so incredibly flexible with pickup and drop off as well. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter would definitely use Maggie again.”
About: I have been around animals since I was little and have hands-on experience caring for pets of all sizes, personalities, and needs. The safety and well-being of your pets is my top priority, and I will always make sure your pups have everything they need to feel happy, healthy, and comfortable while you are away! I work from home, so I am always available to walk, cuddle, and play throughout the day! I also go on walks regularly with my pup Milo and would be more than happy to accommodate for any specific routines and needs that your pet may have. I live in a quiet, spacious apartment right by the park. I have 1 dog of my own, Milo, who is extremely friendly, playful, and sweet. He gets along with everyone, including other dogs and cats! Milo also grew up with kittens, so he knows how and when to be more gentle with other animals.
“Georgia watched our two dogs for the week of Thanksgiving and we returned to calm, happy, well cared for pups. Georgia is an obvious dog lover, has a wonderful home/space to keep your dogs and is genuinely a kind and communicative person! I highly recommend this sitter! We will definitely be back!”
“We are grateful for the love and care Alexandra & Jeff plus kids gave to Arley during a long weekend stay. It's always nice to have peace of mind when traveling and we had that with them. Arley was well cared for and happy to see us -- and it was great to see a few pics of Arley doing well in their home. We will book again in the future.”
“Delane was great! Very thoughtful, attentive, professional and complimentary. My little girl had a great time the six days she was there! She provided me with photos and updates and I was very happy and comfortable with the care my little one was receiving. I will DEFINITELY use Delane again, I HIGHLY recommend her!”
“Sarah is our go to Rover for very good reason! Our dog Ajax always comes home tired and happy and sarah, her dog koko, and her family are wonderful. Our flight was delayed 6.5 hours so our dog had to stay an additional night and it gave us incredible peace of mind knowing he was in good hands with Sarah and that she had the generosity to hold onto him.”
“salmon had a great time at Madeline’s, she got her out to enjoy the snow and sent us lots of updates. Madeline clearly cares a lot and is a great sitter.”
“Nutmeg had a wonderful long weekend with Kim and Fred. She got to explore their backyard and went on walks in the neighborhood. I picked up a happy dog today!”
“Elise sent plenty of pictures and took excellent care of my dog. Would highly recommend her, and plan on using her rover services again in the future!”
“Our pup was well taken care of. Highly recommend care providers. The next time we go out of town I hope Allison and John are available to take care of ginger again.”
“Curtis did a fantastic job boarding our golden doodle. He is very thorough and communicates very well. Our dog was very active during her stay with lots of walks and play time. We received lots of photos and even got report cards. Looking forward to our next stay with Curtis.”
“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 :)”
“Della was incredibly loving, reliable, and accommodating when it came to watching our pup last week! We received so many sweet photos capturing their many adventures which really warmed my son’s heart as he was missing her. We will definitely work with Della and sweet Uma again!”
“Sophia took excellent care of my dog. Perhaps the best sign is when I picked her up, she went back in the house and tried to stay with Sophia instead of come home with me. She even gave Stella a bath before pick up without my asking.”

Whether your dog needs long walks, active playtime, or calm cuddles, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most relaxed. I am patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities and needs.

I live in an apartment and have access to a fenced outdoor area for secure outdoor time and walks. I do not currently have any dogs in my home, so your pet will receive my full attention.
About: I’ve been involved with animals since I was a kid and have a few different dogs since I was born. I also have a cat! I am able to care for senior dogs and puppies as I’ve had them both living in my house, and am able to administer medication or follow any special feeding/medical schedule that your pet needs! I love caring for animals of all shape and size—I know how important and special each of your pets are. I am available to walk or let out at any time throughout the day as I am finished with school. I am happy to bring your dog to a dog park in my car or to just play with them in your backyard. I’m here to make your pet’s day better and yours easier! I can easily get a dog into a crate or car if needed and I am very good with introducing myself/caring for shy, skiddish animals.
“I highly recommend Tigran. He was a great communicator before and during the sit. I can tell he gave my dogs lots of love and attention. :) I really appreciated his always quick responses and updates.”
About: I’m active, work from home, and a dog-lover. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so your pup gets consistent attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and never long stretches alone.

Your dog will get personal attention, plenty of activity, and a flexible routine that works for them. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Happy to coordinate with you to ensure your dog’s needs are met. Able to step out with your pup for bathroom breaks whenever needed. I don’t have a yard, but my golden retriever needs exercise each day. We’re outside every day on local trails, dog-friendly hikes, and the dog park across the street. Boulder is our backyard!

Sophia always takes the best care of my dog. They have the perfect environment for pet sitting, with a big backyard for the dogs to play and nature nearby! I always know when I leave town Sophia will go above and beyond to take care of my husky Cia. Highly recommend!
I’ve had Niko for 8 years and Maddy is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. My dog is my baby and I’m very particular with who watches him. He’s a silly guy and he has some quirks but Maddy handled him beautifully. I could tell by the photo updates she sent that he was happy and well taken care of.
Stephanie was so sweet and took amazing care of my two weenie dogs! She was very communicative, professional, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and treated them like her own. I never had to worry for a second knowing they were with her. I would absolutely trust her to watch them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!
Sheila is the best! She is very chill and obviously knows how to handle dog hosting. She sent pictures everyday of my sweet but very active dog just having a great time running at CU South. When we went to pick up Eddie, it was like we were picking up a kid who just had the best time at summer camp. So- yes, I would feel lucky to have Eddie stay with her again.
