About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life and have now adopted a Labrador puppy of my own. He’s a crazy little guy so I feel like it’s qualified me to work with dogs that have all types of personalities. I’ve recently graduated and am looking for jobs, so I am completely flexible with my time. Besides caring for my own pup, I can be right there for your pets whenever you need! I have a small fenced yard that’s made life easier with my puppy, but I also take him on frequent walks. He eats well and has too many toys to count. He gets treated like a king! If I were trying to find someone on Rover to care for him, I would want the same treatment – and that is what you’ll get from me!
About: I am very comfortable taking care of dogs as I love hanging out with them and going for walks! Most of my experience has been with larger dogs (one I regularly sit for is a Great Pyrenees, and I have a Bernese as home!), but I am comfortable working with smaller dogs too! I am also familiar with giving dogs medication and sitting for dogs who are older and may have accidents around the house. I will be taking an in person class from June 30th-July 31st, and have flexible hours working on campus. Other than those commitments I am very free during the week and over the weekends! My pet care looks different depending on the pets needs and what the owner asks for. I am always happy to change my routines to best fit the pet! Usually, going for walks, regular bathroom breaks, and some sort of mental stimulation are my go to's for pet sitting.
“Amelia was fantastic. Very flexible, super responsive and thoughtful, great energy. Perfect for our anxious rescue dog (and also slightly anxious dog parents). She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent lots of photos which put our minds at ease.”
About: I love dogs (and cats!) of all personalities and especially love being active with them, such as going on hikes or jogs, playing fetch, or simply hanging out at the park. I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and learning what makes them them! I am available outside of the following hours: 2-4:30pm Monday-Friday, 5:30-7pm Mondays and Thursdays, and 4-6pm on Wednesdays. Other than these times, I am free to be booked! I have a large, fenced in yard with no other pets, which is great if your pet has trouble around other animals. I also live very close to North Boulder park! And when I am caring for your animal at your home, I am mindful of private spaces and boundaries, and I always make sure to entirely clean up after myself.
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.
“Linnea did a wonderful job taking care of our cats! She was very responsive and flexible. Our cats were calm and well adjusted when we arrived home.”
About: Hello fellow pet lovers!! My name is Natalia, I am a college student in psychology looking for some quality time taking care of whatever furry (or not furry) companion you have! I am originally from mexico so I am fluent in both English and Spanish in case you have a Hispanic fella :) I have experience babysitting with families with dogs, and grew up with a big dog of my own so I know all about what it takes to properly care for the big guys too. I can administer medication and also go take the really active fellas on runs. I’m a college student but I don’t currently have a job so the only thing on my schedule are my classes. I’m available all throughout weekends and in the evenings most weekdays, but I can also be very flexible and tweak my schedule to accommodate yours I am very aware of what happens around me so I can react quickly to anything that happens. Grew up with a big dog so I’ll be able to handle any size of dog.
“Carly continues to be an amazing and wonderful cat sitter. My two cats adore her and she dotes on them with healthy, happy, loving, and kind care. Thank you, Carly, from all of us!”
“Lali was incredible and we would recommend her sitting services to anyone!! On a daily basis, she sent my wife and I photo updates of our two dogs as well as short reports on what they did and how they spent their time together. We would leave six stars out of five if we could!!!”
“Emily was so easy-going and communicative. It’s really nice to receive all the updates so we know everything’s going as planned. She was really sweet with our big dog Otis”
About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I can remember, and my favorite type of work/volunteering has always involved them. When I was 15 I started dog sitting for my family friend, I watched and walked little Johnny twice a week for almost 2 years while his mom was out doing errands. After that, I started volunteering at the LoveJoy Foundation, an animal rescue in California. I walked dogs, cleaned crates, and even helped with vaccinations once a week at adoption events! My time at LoveJoy was one of the most rewarding experiences ever, and it taught me how to work with different types of dogs and different behaviors, including neurodivergent and disabled pups. I have a family dog of my own, sweet Montana, who will always be my best friend no matter how far apart we are. Montana is a bit older now, so we mostly enjoy hanging out on the couch together, but in his prior years I loved taking him on hikes, to the dog beach, and really anywhere that I went. I also have a crested gecko named Axel! I’m currently a junior at CU Boulder, so I do have school during the week but only for about 2-3 hours each day, most of the time I’m home to care for a pup! I absolutely love being outside here in Boulder, it’s too beautiful not to be, so walks and adventures are plentiful! I have a large house for your pup to roam around, but if it’s preferred that he stays in a crate during the day I can accommodate that too! My yard isn’t fenced, but we would have a lot of outside time at the park and on walks exploring all corners of Boulder. I do have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, I know that some dogs are probably more comfortable staying in their own home!
“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.”
About: I've been fostering all kinds of dogs off and on since I was thirteen. I'm great at taking care of all sizes and personalities of dogs and I love it! I have a good amount of free time and would love to have the opportunity to fit when you need your dog walked into schedule. I provide safe, reliable dog walks that match each dog’s needs. They including exercise, potty breaks, positive attention, along with updates and photos after every walk.
“Carli was so amazing with my dogs! I needed someone the day of and she kept me updated and sent pics. I would definitely want her to take care of my dogs again!”
About: I've been a dog sitter for over 5 years. I have cared for pups of all kinds, from tiny Chihuahuas to big lovable Great Danes! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and respect. I myself have a labradoodle at home who is a total goofball and so lovable. Whether it’s going on long walks, playtime, or just hanging out and giving belly rubs, I’m happy to meet your pet’s unique needs. I also have experience caring for dogs with special routines including giving medication and sticking to specific schedules. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and comfort are always my top priority! I am a full-time college student. Pet care fits perfectly into my flexible college schedule! I love spending my free time walking, playing, and caring for pets whenever I’m not in class. With that said my schedule is very open during the day with long breaks in between class. I also have Mondays, Wednesday, and Friday-Sunday totally free! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow their routines, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel loved, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away.

Ella is a very warm and attentive sitter. I had to hire her while navigating a turbulent time at work while traveling internationally and she gave me the peace of mind I needed, knowing my kitties were happy and healthy. She has great communication and always a positive attitude. Will definitely recommend her for caring for your pets!
I love my cats more than anything, so finding the right pet sitter was crucial for me. Hanna has such a warm and understanding personality. I truly felt my kitties were safe and well cared for under her supervision. She sent so many videos and pictures (much appreciated) and the kitties seemed so calm and comfortable. If I ever need a pet sitter again I will definitely give Hanna a message.
Carly took such excellent care of out 3 kitties while we were out of town for a week. She showed up when she said she would each morning and evening and every day sent the best photos of the kitties playing and eating, as well as detailed daily updates. I know she was patient, loving and caring with them because we came home to very content kitties. I love that she had one of our kitties each day on her lap for snuggling and play time with all of them. When we came home, the kitties were obviously well taken care of and happy. The next morning my husband joked that they were looking out the window for Carly! I will 100% book Carly again to watch our kitties!!!
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.
Allie did a wonderful job with my little girl! She was so sweet, attentive, and caring with her the entire time. I also loved the photographs she sent — it was so nice getting updates and seeing how happy my pup was. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend her!
