“Georgia was great! My nervous pup had a good time and was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Communication was fast and clear, and I received an update mid-day.”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for weeks at a time for the past four years in Colorado and Southern California. I love having your pup around as a friend and companion here in boulder, CO! Your dog can expect lots of walks, hikes, playing in our backyard, and many cuddles! I work remotely from home so have time to take your dog out on walks, feed them at the times they are used to, and hang out and play! I have a fenced in backyard and a park right around the corner. I am comfortable taking your dogs on walks and hikes in the area!
“Allison and John were so amazing and took great care of my doggie. They were also super communicative, took lots of pictures and did two walks. Their home has a really nice backyard. I feel super grateful, thank you Allison and John for taking such good care of Yara 🌸🥹”


“J’Ana took absolutely amazing care of our dog, Scout, tonight while we were out for dinner. She was so attentive to Scout’s every need — from taking her on walks, to bonding with her, to sending thoughtful updates that made us feel completely at ease. It was clear Scout felt comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy in her company. We’re incredibly grateful for J’Ana’s kindness, reliability, and the way she connected with Scout right away. We’re already excited for Scout to spend time with her again tomorrow. Highly recommend!”

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.

About: I provide personalized, one-on-one care so every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat each dog like family and take time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. 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 have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I can easily adjust to their routine and needs. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets in my care. 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.
“Alison was terrific. Kept me posted with texts and pictures. With my permission, she even took my puppy (9 weeks old) to a nursing home to visit her mother and guests. He was a huge hit!”

About: I am a work from home professional with a 2 year old mini Bernadoodle. I recently had to say goodbye to our senior dog and am looking forward to sharing our large backyard and cute pup with some new furry friends. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Your pup will feel safe and comfortable with easy access to the backyard and mid-day walks. We have a cute, fun 2 year old mini Bernadoodle who loves to play and nap during the day. There is a dog door to a large fenced in backyard.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life! I had three cats and a dog growing up, along with helping out with pets of my other family members. I did an unpaid internship at a veterinary hospital so I know how important it is to take good care of our animals! I’m currently in college classes for a few hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Now that it’s getting warmer outside, I’m excited to be able to do outdoor walks with your pups! My home is laid out so there is no danger of your pet getting into anything and I live in a good neighborhood for walking around!
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.
“Perfect stay for our Nina. She was taken for walks, we received photos of Nina’s happy day. Trust worthy person, we highly recommend her. Nina was wagging her tail each morning that they me! Perfection. Thank you for taking good care of Nina!!”

“Dakota and Kate took such wonderful care of Ultra! Their home is super pet-friendly, with a dog door leading to a big yard. They took her on a walk, and she loved making a new friend in their sweet dog, Arlo. We also really appreciated that they set up a meet & greet beforehand. It gave us all peace of mind that the dogs would get along. We’ll be booking with them again... soon!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, from volunteering at animal shelters to eventually managing one, I have such a passion for animal wellness. I can give meds to pets, care for any special needs they have and work with high energy or “difficult” pets. I love them all, from hyper mouthy puppies to needy seniors! I’m currently a data scientist exploring new employment opportunities with an incredible passion for pets. I’ve previously managed an Animal Shelter and trained volunteers on both feline and canine behavior. I am a foster for Longmont Humane society and am a rescue mom to three cats and two dogs. I have a half acre privacy fenced backyard for pets that visit. I have a large SUV for transporting pets that want an adventure or need daycare pet sitting.
“Emilie helped us out tremendously with some last minute day care. She's quick to respond, friendly, and I felt at ease leaving our pup with her. Two big thumbs up from us!”

“Celia and Mark took excellent care of my dog, Winston! He has separation anxiety so I was quite nervous to leave him with someone else but they handled it beautifully! He got a lot of play time and a walk, and loved running around in their yard. Celia and Mark kept me updated with pictures and videos so I knew he was doing well. I highly recommend them!”

“Bretta is incredible! She was so patient and caring for my pup during his stays with her. He was extremely anxious but she was able to help him feel secure while I was away. She did an excellent job of checking in and trying methods to help my dog. We were so lucky to find her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly caring sitter and an overall quality stay!”

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.
About: Hello! I’m a retired Special Education teacher. My passion is dogs and the care and training of dogs. When your furr baby is staying with me, she or he is my priority. I am patient, caring and truly want your furr baby to have a safe, engaging and fun time while in my care. I’d love to take your furr baby for walks and/ or give cuddles; as desired. I first became available on Rover in 2017, first working in California and now in Colorado. I work full-time at home and will give your sweet furr baby all the time, care and exercise he or she needs. I’m currently at home full-time. I have plenty of time for your furr baby Please schedule pickup & drop-off times between 7am - 9:30pm. Thank you. I have two dogs and two cats. One dog is a friendly, small-sized older dog. He is calm and will engage with your furr baby as much as they want. I also have a large breed female dog. She is sweet, curious and well-behaved. I have four available crates if you use crating. The cats have separate areas and mostly stay in their own room during dog boarding.
“Our dog Ollie is generally pretty anxious when we leave him away. With Rui, he calmed down really quickly and they had a great day! Rui provided updates and many pictures at the conclusion of Ollie’s stay”

About: Beginning as a volunteer and rescuer, I then moved into pet and house sitting. I continue to foster and volunteer with a local animal rescue and treasure my time with all kinds of animals. I am creating this profile to highlight my specialty services such as dog running, homemade pet food, and portraiture.** A lover of all animals and nature, I’m happiest with both. My touch and voice are gentle, and my style is consistent. Having pets of all kinds and sizes growing up and continuing into adulthood has been a sincere source of joy, gratitude, and service. In the last few years, my time spent volunteering at a local rescue has greatly expanded my experience and skill- especially with special needs animals. Special services and care that I offer include: ~applying my professional chef training to prepare specialty pet food for unique needs, allergies, anxiety, or other conditions alleviated with herbs and nutrition ~when house/pet sitting for you, I’m happy to address the refrigerator and pantries to prepare food before it spoils and leaving you a home cooked meal upon your return or storing in your freezer ~professionally cleaned, organized, and stocked kitchen for you while you are at work or away Additionally, I have been trained and actively competing in Colorado roller derby for 7 years. Using this experience, robust padding, and training, I will exercise dogs that need more than a walk to take them at their pace and level on trail runs on my roller skates. In my many years experience of doing this with several clients as well as rescue animals in my foster care, I have observed many benefits such as: ~improved obedience ~naturally filed nails ~increased happiness and smiles ~less scratching, digging, jumping, whining, barking, and other undesirable behavior ~better sleeping ~improved health and well being The majority of my time during the day is spent outdoors hiking, roller skating the bike paths, or in the garden, and I love to have the company of animals for all of it. At night, I cook, dance, and will read aloud to whoever is in the house. I find animals love this too. As a private chef, I have a lot of time outside of scheduled private events and parties. I can build catering quotes, shop online, and write menus from anywhere. This leaves plenty of time and attention for animals in my care. I like to be outdoors as much as possible and having a pet companion makes it all the more enjoyable for me. I live in a clean and cozy townhouse very near multiple parks and paths. I use harnesses and good judgment while on excursions. I am trained in pet care, proper hydration, nutrition, and herbalism for pets. I never raise my voice and use positive reinforcement and fun to enlist cooperation. Furthermore, animals that are food motivated or fun motivated LOVE me. I love to be outdoors and active but can also cuddle inside for the furry friends that prefer one or both. If your dog likes to run, good news! I like to go fast on the bike paths! Caring for your pet(s) is the highest honor and takes priority while in my care. Please let me know about special needs, but otherwise you can trust that my regular routine is to play, be outside, laugh, show kindness, and provide stellar caregiving.
Central Boulder dog parents share their Rover experiences
J’Ana was absolutely incredible with our pup, Scout! From the moment we met her, we could tell how genuinely caring and loving she is, and that only became more evident throughout our stay in Boulder. She treated Scoutie like her own, giving her so much attention, affection, and thoughtful care. Her communication was outstanding the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. And the photos she sent were beyond amazing—her husband being a professional photographer definitely shows! Each update made us smile and reassured us that Scout was happy, comfortable, and in the best hands. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will absolutely be booking J’Ana again the next time we’re back in Boulder, and we strongly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their pet like their own. She is truly wonderful!! 🐶🐾💖

Allison and John are great sitters! Very communicative, they clearly care about the animals in their care, and I didn’t worry a second about our nervous dog. They have a great place to host: quiet neighborhood, lovely yard, lots of places for dogs to rest. Mac gets a very special mention- I think he might have been our dog’s most favorite part. Mac’s a great buddy to everyone and he’ll keep your dog company during naps and very engaged during playtime. I’ll definitely be using them again and would recommend them to others!

Kelly is a 10/10 recommendation for anyone in the Boulder area. she was quick to respond. Extremely flexible with drop off and pick up arrangements. She sent me constant updates and truly cared about my animals time. If I’m ever back in Boulder I will be in touch before get to the city so Rick can spend a day with her again!

Celia and Mark took excellent care of my dog, Winston! He has separation anxiety so I was quite nervous to leave him with someone else but they handled it beautifully! He got a lot of play time and a walk, and loved running around in their yard. Celia and Mark kept me updated with pictures and videos so I knew he was doing well. I highly recommend them!
