Hannah was fantastic! Outstanding communication. She checked in on Gabby like clockwork. Gabby can sometimes be a little intimidating and overwhelming for some folks, but she warmed up to Hannah like they've been best friends for life. It also helped a ton that she's my next door neighbor. I've seen first hand how well she takes care of other peoples' furbabies. She has a gift with our 4-legged friends.

Falecia did a great job with my senior cat - giving her medicine, keeping her box clean, and most importantly, giving her some love. She's responsive and easy to work with. I will definitely have Falecia care for Delilah again.

Tina was amazing with Loki while we were away for the weekend. She’s obviously been around dogs with different dispositions, and was comfortable with our big, nervous pup. There was a glitch with another caretaker having Loki on a walk when Tina arrived to be with Loki. When Tina couldn’t find Loki, she contacted me immediately then talked to our neighbor to see if she knew where he might be. She did everything perfectly! I will definitely ask Tina to help again and highly recommend her to others.

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’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have six years of professional experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether I’m helping a friend, family member, or client, I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid through the American Red Cross. I have a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed, so I’m always happy to follow their usual schedule to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I have a fully fenced yard and live right by Chautauqua, so there's plenty of space to play and explore. While I adore hosting social dogs, my home is also a great environment for dogs who prefer to be the only pet in the home, since I accept only one client at a time. I'm happy to accommodate multiple dogs from the same household, though!

Caitlin was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a few days and made sure they were comfortable and happy the whole time. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos each day, and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. We felt totally at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve raised two Dobermans, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and giving pets lots of attention and care. Having experience with large, energetic dogs has taught me how to stay calm, responsible, and attentive in different situations. I’m especially patient during the puppy stage and understand the extra time and supervision young dogs need. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently away from home attending college in Boulder, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they deserve. Since I’m away from my own pets, it’s genuinely a pleasure to have animal company and spend time with dogs throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of affection, including multiple walks a day when needed. I enjoy keeping pets active, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently only care for dogs in my home, where they’ll receive lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. While I have a balcony instead of a backyard, I’m more than willing to take dogs on multiple walks and outdoor trips daily to make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. Since I’m attending college in Boulder and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to spend a lot of quality time with pets and make sure they never feel lonely or ignored. I also follow feeding routines, house rules, and any special instructions closely so each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.

About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little kid. I’ve had a cat, fostered 5 dogs from the medical shelter, and now my family owns one of them and he is my best friend. I enjoy all personalities of animals whether that be timid and shy, or friendly and energetic. I pet-sit regularly and strive to be someone that the animals can be comfortable around. I am currently a student at CU Boulder, so I have plenty of time to dog walk daily and drop in to feed and keep animals company when owners are away. I am looking to care for pets in the client’s home because my property manager does not allow animals. I can house-sit and sty overnight, but prefer a client who just needs daily dog walks and feedings.

About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I am currently a student taking online classes from home while also working a part-time job, so I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day and make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I live in a house with a small yard and am across the street from a small park, with a much larger park only a few blocks away, which is great for walks and outdoor time. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by giving them lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks or walks. Since I spend a lot of time at home, pets will rarely be left alone for long periods and will always have someone around to keep them company and stick to their normal routine.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs for 10+ years as well as overnight dogsitting and dog walking. My dogs experienced blindness, anxiety, PTSD, and other diseases that give me a lot of experience wth all kinds of dogs. I am currently a full time University student but am looking for dogs to walk and take care of outside of my class schedule and on the weekends! I have experience with many different breeds and personalities of dogs, using harnesses and leashes, feeding and medications, overnight visits or drop-ins. Both of my dogs at home required different forms of care: My dog Jackson had a disease called SARDS and needed diapers, medication, and a stroller. My dog Lotty has PTSD so she needs a harness, daily medication and careful walking.

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.

I can't say enough good things about Kristen. She's always prompt, and seems to enjoy visiting my dog. He is very happy when I return home, so I know he's had a good time. Kristen keeps plugging away, trying to increase the length of walks for my reluctant walker. And I really appreciate her quick response when I try to book her...not all the Rover people are good about that.

We used Amelia again to dog sit our anxious rescue, and she continues to exceed our expectations. Chickpea was so happy to see her — always a great sign with a dog who takes time to warm up to people. Amelia is a genuinely calming presence, sent regular updates so we could relax, and clearly has a gift for working with dogs who need a little extra patience. So glad we found her.
