“Was very attentive to out pups and really showed them the love and care they deserve! Everyone should check her out and would definitely use them again in the future!!”


“Kari did a great job of keeping our dogs fed and happy while I was away. I never have to worry about their care. She is awesome and I'll be sure to ask for her every time I need to be away. Thanks Kari!”


“I have hired Zoe twice now to take care of my cat. She is always on time, sends her report cards and pictures! My cat is very responsive to her and enjoys her company. I will continue to hire Zoe if she is available. I trust her completely.”


About: I have a lot of experience with various animals besides dogs and cats. I also have worked with live stock, lizards and exotics. I worked at a massive boarding kennel were I learned to administrate various medications pills and insulin shots, learned basic training techniques, and over all general care for domestic animals. From this experience I started my own pet sitting business which I did off and on for a few years. Then pick up some business for a little extra cash in dog walking and pet sitting. I have taken a break from that to raise my daughter and become more established at my current job, but miss working with animals and would like to get back to helping those I can. I mainly would like to assist in dog walking, but if some pet sitting needs to be had, I'd be more than happy to assist there as well. I found from working in the boarding kennel, many dogs do find it more comfortable in a home setting then a kennel. I do work full time, M-Th 6:30 to 5 pm. I can take in 1 to 2 dogs in my home during this time, I do have a dog door and do come home for an hr for lunch. I do have a dog, so any dogs in my home would need to get along with mine. However, I can do dog walking in the evenings on Thursdays starting at 6 pm to 8 pm during summer months. Otherwise Fridays and weekends are best. Any time Friday, though occasionally I may not be available in the afternoons due to dropping off my daughter, Sat I can be available anytime, and Sunday Mornings and Evenings are best. Some afternoons are available if I don't have to pick up my daughter. I have a dog door with a 4 ft fence and a 6 ft fence on the sides separating my neighbors and I. If your dog is playful, I have a very playful and submissive dog. I'm very respectful of other peoples space and am great at communicating the needs of the owner for their pet. I'm accustomed to following written instructions and do like to meet ahead of time to meet the pet and go over feeding and/or medication instructions. I may have my 5 year old daughter with me, however, if the animal does not do well with children, please communicate that so no incidences happen. If I cannot have my daughter around, will be harder for me to commit to any sort of sitting or walking.

About: I have personally owned dogs as long as I can remember. From Rottweilers to Chihuahuas. I have dog sat numerous times, between boarding at my house and house sitting at a client’s home. I’m a true dog-lover at heart. I love dogs in all shapes and sizes. They are the most loving and most loyal. They really are better than most people! Lol. I have a sweet, energetic, laid-back, one and a half year old mini poodle. I also have a 3 year old hedgehog, but since he’s nocturnal and likes to keep to himself, pets don’t interact with him. He’s caged in my room and will be out of the way. I also have experience in taking care of senior dogs including: administering meds, feeding picky eaters, helping with potty breaks, helping with walks, etc. I have personally trained all of the dogs that I have owned. I have lots of puppy experience and don’t believe in “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” as I have also trained older dogs that I have rescued. I currently work from home and I am usually off by late afternoon/early evening. I can be home with your baby. We can play and take as many potty breaks as needed. I also don’t work on the weekends and like to fill my weekends up with fun activities! I have a fenced in backyard and a safe neighborhood to go on walks. Your doggo would have complete freedom of the house (as long as I’m home, of course). Doggies are allowed on the furniture and allowed to sleep with me. If they are crate trained, of course that’s okay too.


“Jason went above and beyond to overcome some obstacles to hoa drop in visit. We admire his dedication to getting it done! We had the chance to meet him, his wife, and his dog Juniper ahead of the visit and found them all to be wonderful.”


“Jazmine did a fab job with my old puppy. He was applied and loved while I had to be out of town. I’ve never used a sitter before, but would ABSOLUTELY use this lovely human again.”


“Cathy was great with the dogs!! She communicated very well, was on time, and took care of my babies without any issues. One is young, rambunctious, and energetic while the other is small and old but still likes a little attention and play time. She did well with both.”


About: Since I was young, I’ve had a special connection with animals. I’ve grown up with pets my whole life. I’ve also been a foster parent for dogs with special needs until they find their forever home. I have house sat and pet sat for many family and friends and have been providing these services through rover for the past 2.5 years. I’m a healthcare worker, and have done home health in the past so I’m comfortable going into others homes. I’m reliable, responsible and trustworthy. I can guarantee your home and pets will be in great care. I do work full time Monday-Thursday. I’m off Friday-Sunday and have full availability for dog walking and pet sitting during the weekend. During the week I can go back to the home and spend time with your animals during my hour lunch. I’m available for overnight petsitting in your home 7 days a week. I live in an apartment, so I can bring small animals in for pet daycare. I have a small yard, but plenty of area for long walks outside my home. I also offer house sitting/pet sitting in the clients home.

“Jon was amazing with our dogs! We have one dog who has a lot of anxiety and is very timid and Jon was wonderful at noticing his needs and taking care of him. We will definitely book with Jon again!”


About: I have over 15 years of experience providing compassionate care for a wide range of animals. From dogs and cats to birds, small animals like hamsters and guinea pigs, and even fish, I'm committed to ensuring every pet receives exceptional, individualized attention. My goal is always to keep them comfortable and happy while their favorite people are away, and you can also count on consistent communication from me, with regular updates on how your beloved companions are doing. I'm a dedicated pet sitter with a super part-time job, meaning my schedule is incredibly flexible to prioritize your pets' needs! Getting around is always reliable, so you can count on me to be there. I just ask for a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure everyone (pets included!) feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Your pet isn't just a client – they're literally the center of their own universe, and I'm here to make sure they feel it! I'm all about creating a super safe, comfy, and chill environment where every furry friend can just kick back and be themselves. People often tell me I'm like the male version of 'Snow White' because animals just seem to trust and adore me quicker than most people they've meet. Honestly, it's pretty special how quickly the bonding happens! So, get ready for some serious spoiling. I'm here to make your life easier and ensure your beloved companions have an absolute blast. Trust me, your pets will definitely be in the right hands.


“Melissa was awesome!! We had just moved to area and needed to find a dog sitter last minute. She was able to accommodate our very last minute notice and has always been super responsive and personable. She has watched our dogs twice now and I would highly recommend. We will be using Melissa’s service in the future!”


“Amanda did a great job taking care of our 2 kitties for several days, visiting twice a day, and was very attentive during the meet & greet. We will be asking her to cat-sit for us again!”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very little with my first beagle Buddy! I often cat sit for family members as well! I would be glad to care for yours! I’m currently unemployed awaiting a new job to start! My schedule is completely open and I would love to spend some time with your pets:) I am very comfortable around all pets and can care for yours as needed. My dog at home is very friendly. I will have to care for your animals in your home.

About: I have a lot of experience with both dogs and cats. I currently have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I have experience with all ages and different health needs. My work is flexible so I typically go home every 2-3 hours to give my dogs a break and let them be outside. I am home most evenings. If I’m pet sitting that will be my priority. I have a large fenced in yard. The fence is 6 feet high because one of my dogs is a fence jumper. I have 2 big dogs and 1 little dog that are all very friendly. My cat doesn’t care about anything so she will keep to herself.

About: Hi! My name is Nicole, I have house sit and walked dogs for my friends and family since I was 13. I enjoy getting out and walking dogs to stay in shape. I am such a dog lover, I just travel to much to have my own. I am here to get love on all your pets and get them some exercise while you are away! I work from home so it’s very easy for me to take time away and go for a walk or keep an eye on each pet. I have house sit for several families. I will give them all the attention they need as well as keep to your schedule and discipline if necessary

About: My first job when I was a kid was to walk my neighbor's dogs. Since then, I've worked and volunteered with several different animal organizations, completed different training courses, handled dozens of different dogs of all shapes and sizes. Every animal is different, and I respect each and every one! As an artist, I find caring for pets the perfect balance to studio time—nothing inspires a break like a cold nose nudging your elbow or a purring cat settling onto your sketchbook. Pets are treated like family. I believe structure and exercise are important and look for a relaxed demeanor to know that the animals needs have been met.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 and my dad is a professional dog trainer so I’ve had a bunch of experience with dogs and puppies. I’ve had from small dogs to quite large and often I would pet sit for my parents when they’d need to go on trips. I want to be a dog trainer and care taker as a professional career once I earn enough money to go to school for it. I’m very flexible with days and time. About to help my dad with the new litter of German shepherds he’s breeding this fall. So anything from care to training I can take care of and I’m okay with changing plans as long as it’s a couple days before. Thank you for you time!

Renata S.
“Renata has always been a fantastic dog parent! She is responsible and truly loves dogs. She goes the extra mile for them and they all love her. Even her two own would rather hang out with her even more than hanging out with anyone else or even any of the dogs! She has had a dog since she was 5 years old and has solely taken care of all of them! She is an avid walker using apple health and step bet to get her steps in. All the dogs love walking with her. She is so compassionate and kind and has a heart for all living animals!”

Cañon City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hallie was able to help us out last minutes when we had a flight get canceled. She went in without being able to do a meet and greet and was able to take care of our pets until the next day when we could get home. Can’t wait to do a proper meet and greet and use her again!

All I can say is her love for animals is very evident with how she takes care of my cat! She goes above and beyond. This time I didnt leave and extra water and food bowl because I didnt think she would need it, but Zoe took the initiative and put and extra one down! (It was needed). She also came to the rescue when I had another issue. My cat is not the most agreeable at times, but she really loves Zoe. She is always on time and sends prompt updates. She is the best!
