“From the moment my dog Buddy met Nina, it was instant love. Usually he’s leery around strangers but having great communication with Nina prior to meeting in person, I’m sure Buddy picked up how comfortable and relaxed I was so in no time, he was taking treats from her hand. Nina has dog sat 2X and if my dog could speak, he would say, “Sheee’s Great!””

“We recently had Brian cat sit for us and he did a great job. Our cats are usually a bit shy with new people but they warmed up to him quicker than usual. Brian sent us regular updates and photos, which helped us to know that the cats were in good hands while we were gone. He also responded in a reasonable amount of time when we contacted him. Before Brian left he cleaned the house and we returned to a clean and tidy home. We think that Brian is a reliable, caring, and professional cat sitter and recommend him to others.”

“Andrea is amazing! She gave our elder dog and cat6 meticulous loving care and attention, and gave outr youger dog and cat love and great attention as well. She really goes above and beyond to be helpful and really cares about our pets. We are very grateful.”
“Meghan was great with Mimo and took wonderful care of him again. We had a few unexpected issues come up at home and with Mimo’s health, and she was incredibly helpful on managing while we were away.”

About: I've been taking care of friends and neighbor's dogs since I was 16 and I love meeting new furry friends! I am highly familiar with active dogs, young dogs, and dogs with specialty diets/feeding routines. I am experienced in dealing with dogs with medical issues, and how to deal with medical emergencies in a calm and effective manner. I am a college student at CU Boulder, and am in classes most of the day Mon-Thurs. During the weekends I am very free, and enjoy going on hikes/runs and spending time reading and doing homework at home. This makes caring for pets on weekends very easy, as I spend a lot of time hanging out at home, and spending time outside, which is good for both active dogs, and dogs who enjoy more slow paced days. In my clients homes, I place a focus on attention on meeting individual pet needs, from midnight potty breaks, to lots of active play to keep dogs intellectually stimulated. I tend to keep a strict routine (eating, walking, sleeping at the same time) for pets but I am also very flexible to unique requests for pets.
“Santiago was very flexible and available when I needed a last minute booking for a sitting. Zoey had a great visit and was well taken care of. Santiago made sure to have my place spick and span when I arrived home after a long day of travel and emotional weekend with my family. Most certainly would book again!”

“Anthony was absolutely great with my cat Mowgli! He shared a good amount of updates and photos through the week while I was away, and you could tell that he genuinely wanted Mowgli to feel supported and loved in my absence. I'll definitely reach out to Anthony first the next time I'm away!”

“Salomé did a great job of taking care of our pups and home! She was very communicative and sent pictures of our puppies during her stay. She did a great job and would rebook her to puppy sit again.”

“Chris stayed at our house for 5 nights and took such great care of our pups and our home! He was super communicative and reliable and sent us lots of photo updates. I knew our house and pups were in good hands as soon as he walked through our door. I will absolutely book with Chris again.”

“I have nothing but good things to say about Cyra! She was so kind and wonderful to my senior dog! She was on time, great communication and rolled with a couple of unforeseen changes.”

“Connie was amazing with our dog! She took such good care of him and was very thoughtful looking after his needs as he is a senior. She sent videos and pictures throughout the day. We couldn’t ask for more and will definitely hope to ask her to help us out again!”
“We really appreciated Donovan making our first rover experience really great. He stayed in our home and treated our 2 dogs very well for 5 days. He took them for a final walk after the original hours we thought we would be home and kept our house tidy. Thank you for taking such good care of our 2 pups!”

“Matthew was wonderful with my pup and kitty, and my home. He is truly gifted with animals, and he gave me complete peace of mind. He sent precious pictures of my babies every day, which I loved! I highly recommend Matthew, and will continue to trust him with my fur babies and my home.”

“Moose loved his house sitting staycation with Emily while I was away. Emily was great w the walks & playtime & gave him his medicine etc while sending me lots of photos.”

“Carolyn was wonderful to take on a 9 day stay in my home with my big boy. Upon my return he was happy and healthy seems like staying home was a much better option for him. Big Thanks Carolyn!”

Anthony is very clearly an animal lover! He did a great job watching my (sometimes challenging) German Shepherd. He was excellent at communicating and keeping me in the loop and made the whole process incredibly easy. Highly recommend booking with Anthony and am looking forward to having him watch my pup again.

Salomé was the best pet sitter we’ve ever had from Rover. She took excellent care of our doggo and our plants, pool and house while we were gone for a long trip. Everything was left cleaner than it was before we left and our dog very relaxed and happy. She is conscientious, knowledgeable, compassionate and a great communicator. We highly recommend her!

Ben was exactly who we needed for our recent trip. He not only took care of the house, but he walked our dog (usually twice a day, which is more than she usually gets) and spent time snuggling our kitties. Our pets bonded with Ben much more than with past caregivers. It was so nice to know they were safe and happy while we were gone and not experiencing any stress from our absence. We returned to a clean house and well-fed, happy pets. Thank you, Ben!

Matthew is someone you can trust whole heartedly! Due to a faulty window screen that was not locked in place (have just moved into this new apartment) my gremlin cat escaped and Matthew handled it like an absolute champ. He was diligent and communicative the whole way through and he got my boy back safe inside. He went above and beyond to ensure that. It’s always scary when something goes wrong when you’re away from your pets, but it meant so much that he took such good care in the situation. My boy is safe and sound and probably had a few adventures out there. They still got good time to bond and play together. Thank you!! Would love to work with Matt again.

Nate is the best! He was very communicative, personable and knowledgeable about dog’s needs. He did a great job of working with our dogs different personalities and they were sad when he left. He took beautiful care of the house and our dog family. Much appreciated!
