“Brianne went way above and beyond with our kitties while we were away for the first overnight trip since we had gotten the kittens. She played, fed, cleaned up after them, and was always interacting with the kitties and sending pictures and video! I appreciated the continual contact, and knowing that our cats were being spoiled and well taken care of! We returned, and they were not frantically seeking attention, or worried or anxious. She took great care of them and helped keep them (and me!) at ease!”

Bootsy got a little sick during our time away but Dylan was incredibly attentive, helped clean everything up so thoroughly, and was communicative about Bootsy’s status. He didn’t leave until he was OK again! Thank you so much for everything!”
“Cara was great with my 2 cats. She checked in daily, left good daily reports and photos. When I returned the cats were happy and well taken care of.”
About: I've taken care of/trained my dog from the age of 7 weeks. I have volunteered for animal shelters for 4 years in various roles such as behavior modification, dog walking, advanced dog walking, and taking specific dogs on hikes. I am extremely in tune with the nonverbal communication/body language of dogs and I have a certificate for the Fear Free Shelter Program. I also have experience taking care of reptiles. I'm currently in college full time but all my classes are in the morning, so the only time I am unavailable to walk dogs is from 9-11 on T/R, 9:30-2 on Mondays, and before 2 on Wednesdays. There is rarely a time I'm not available to dogsit and I'm able to spend a lot of time with animals right now as I don't have a job at the moment since I am focusing on school. I tend to spoil animals - I go out of my way to treat them like royalty. I meticulously ensure pets are safe by making sure they are supervised (especially while outdoors) and by keeping any potential hazards inaccessible. I exclusively utilize positive reinforcement to reward good behavior instead of punishing unwanted ones.
“Josh did a great job with our cat, Twitch! Twitch can be a bit stubborn and bratty and Josh used different successful techniques to entice him out for his insulin injections. Josh is very sweet and takes his responsibilities seriously, which we greatly appreciated. Your animal will be in good hands with Josh!”
“Dora took care of my kitties like they were her own! She was great when it came to communication and sending cute pictures. I recommend using Dora for drop in visits, and would book her again!”
“I am so grateful for Bre, she did an amazing job taking care of my fur babies. They seemed to have loved her drop in visits, and it gave me such peace of mind while I was gone on a trip. Bre communicates really well, and I had immense trust in her. I will definitely make use of her services again.”
“Excelente, la hemos contratado en dos ocasiones ya que es muy atenta, diligente y responsable! Muy buena comunicadora, envía muchas fotos y se ve que los michis están muy contentos con ella”
“Jennifer checked in on my cat during an extended vacation. She provided lots of pictures of the loving she provided my cat as well as making sure food/water/and litter box were good. Definitely would use her again in the future.”
“Roselin was awesome! This was our first time using Rover and she made the process so easy and was very communicative with us on our trip. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
About: Hello, fellow pet lovers! I'm an enthusiastic and dedicated pet caretaker with a deep-rooted passion for animals. What truly sets me apart is my hands-on experience with dogs, including my journey in training my own service dog, a German Shepherd. This experience has not only deepened my understanding of dog behavior but also enhanced my skills in positive reinforcement techniques and obedience training. I believe every dog is unique and deserves personalized care. Whether your furry friend is a playful puppy, a spirited adult, or a wise senior, I'm equipped with the knowledge and patience to cater to their specific needs. My background has given me a keen eye for understanding canine behavior, enabling me to create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for your pet. Exercise is a vital aspect of a dog's well-being, and I am more than willing to ensure your dog gets the physical activity they need. From leisurely walks to energetic play sessions, I'll make sure your dog enjoys their time while staying healthy and active. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I'm committed to providing the best possible care, giving you peace of mind while you're away. Trust me to be the caring, attentive, and knowledgeable sitter your pet deserves! Working from home full-time means I’m always there for the pets I care for. My day revolves around their needs – we start with a morning walk or playtime, which is perfect for some fresh air and exercise. I'm here to give pets attention and care throughout the day, keeping up with their regular feeding times and making sure they get plenty of outdoor breaks. Evenings are our time to unwind, maybe with a little walk or just relaxing together. I’m all about fitting their routine into my day, making sure they get a good mix of fun, love, and rest. And if your pet needs something a bit extra, I’m flexible and happy to adapt to make their stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. Scheduled feeding times and additional outdoor breaks are diligently observed, aligning with your pet's usual routine to provide a sense of familiarity and stability. Evenings are reserved for winding down – perhaps with a gentle stroll or a cozy cuddle session, ensuring your pet feels relaxed and content before bedtime. This structure ensures that your pet receives a balanced mix of activity, attention, and rest, all while being lovingly cared for in a home environment. With my flexible schedule, I can easily accommodate additional needs or preferences your pet may have, ensuring their time with me is not only comfortable but also enriching and enjoyable. As a full-time work-from-home pet caregiver, I am uniquely positioned to offer your beloved pet constant attention and care in the safety and comfort of my home. This dedicated focus means that your pet will never feel alone or neglected. My home is a secure and loving environment, carefully pet-proofed to ensure the utmost safety and comfort for your furry friend. I understand the importance of routine and familiarity for pets, so I strive to maintain their regular schedule, mirroring the care they receive at your home. With me, your pet will enjoy personalized attention, engaging playtimes, and comforting cuddles, ensuring they feel loved and content. Additionally, you'll have the reassurance of regular updates, photos, and videos, keeping you connected with your pet's day-to-day experiences. Trust and safety are the pillars of my service; rest assured, your pet will be in caring and capable hands, receiving all the love and attention they deserve while you're away.
Central Colorado City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dylan is AWESOME! He actually spends time with your cat to make sure they are enriched and loved while you are away. Our cat Ziggy is sometimes prone to destructive behaviors when he is bored but we never see these occur while Dylan is our sitter. 10/10 recommend.
Elsa has watched my animals twice now and I have nothing but praise fo her attentive care. Not only for my cats but my snake as well. It's always tough finding someone brave enough to watch him and Elsa has been my savior for doing it. I wouldn't book anyone else unless she wasn't available!
Leah was able to help us out in a pinch during the holiday season - she always takes such great care of both our pets and our home! We always feel at ease when we are traveling away from home and our fur babies knowing that Leah is checking in and taking excellent care of them!
Zeah was amazing!! I have 2 kitties one of them is pretty shy but after a few days she warmed up to zeah which is rare to see from her! She scooped our litter box, took are the trash at the end of our booking and sweeped up all the messes my kitties made. highly recommend !!
Mary has watched our home and animals a few times now and has impressed me each time. She's punctual, communicative, and great with the animals. She even took amazing care of my gang of exotics, including lizards, rats, and guinea pigs. Even our most skittish cat warmed up to her. Thanks again Mary!
We have used Bethany maybe…30 times? Every time is better than the last. We seriously thank god we have her in town. She is reliably, careful, trustworthy, and treats our cats as if they were her own. One of our cats is older/needs special care and she ensures he gets all his medicine. We are so grateful for her and her son who treat every visit like it’s her home. We will continue to use her indefinitely!!
Jessi was wonderful. She took wonderful care of our dog, Dash, She was detailed and organized about meeting and ensuring she understood all the was required for DASH (walks, food, etc). She reached out immediately after we booked to schedule a preliminary visit so both Dash and I had an opportunity to visit with her. We look forward to working with Jessi again.
Alison was so attentive and caring for our dogs. She went above and beyond to be sure they were taken well care of and felt loved while we were away. She also was so good about proving updates and communicating regularly. I truly knew my dogs were in good hands and was able to be away and focus on other matters. Thank you Alison!!!!
