“Andrea was great! The house was left in prestige condition, she was very considerate of our home. She was very kind to our pets and took great care of them. Our dog had an accident and she took care of it completely and even did a store run to restock on some things our dog needed.”

“Hannah was really great to work with it was my first time using the site and she helped to make it so simple and easy, as well as took care of my pups perfectly definitely will utilize her as a sitter again. Thank you Hannah”
“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.”

“Taylor was great to work with. He is kind, attentive to the dog's individual needs (including complicated medication schedules), and wonderful with communication. I highly recommend him!”

“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.”

“Brenna has been a great dog walker and house sitter for my dog Daisy. She spends extra time with Daisy to make sure she's comfortable (Daisy can be very anxious). When she was house sitting for us, she sent a lot of great updates and clearly went above and beyond in spending time with Daisy in the ways that Daisy likes to be: snuggling on the couch, and playing lots of fetch!”


“Taylor is awesome! I was going on vacation for a week and my other dog-sitter had to cancel. Taylor agreed to watch Shay for the week and was a wonderful house sitter! Taylor even stuck around for a few extra hours when it became unsure if our flight home was going to be canceled. Shaymus had a great time with her, and it seems like they played quite a bit because he was wiped out the whole next day after we came home! Would highly recommend her!!”

“Nina was amazing!! She took such great care of my two dogs and my house while we were out of town. We received daily pictures, updates, and descriptions of what they did that day. It was above and beyond my expectations! What I liked best about Nina was how much she seemed to genuinely care about the dogs. She seemed really invested in their happiness and I could tell by the pictures the dogs had a blast. Thank you Nina again for being such an awesome person! It was such a relief to know the dogs were in such great hands. We will definitely use Nina's services again! Mahalo Nina from Jay, PJ and Luna <3”
“We received pictures of our dogs daily. They were out exploring our property with Matthew multiple times a day. They were very happy when we returned and the house looked great. We will definitely request Matthew again. Thank you very much, Sandy & Jim”

“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!”

“Alicia was amazing with both of our dogs! Lots of walks, park time and loving. Alicia was extremely kind and professional and I really appreciate having someone like that to watch our dogs over the holidays! I definitely recommend Alicia to anyone looking for pet care 😊”

“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!”

“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.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.
“Georgie is phenomenal with our girl Suz. She has watched her a couple of times now, and I never worry about Suz when she is with Georgie. Thanks again for all of your help!!!!”

“Die is a truly exceptional sitter. Deeply relational with animals and exquisitely attentive to details of sitting to enable an experience that is smooth, easy, comforting, safe, and enjoyable for all. My kitties gave uniquely wonderful feedback about their time with Die. They were extremely well cared for and attended to. I give Die my strongest endorsement without any reservation. Very grateful for her :)”

About: I am currently studying physiology to go into vet medicine. I spent the last year working in a dog kennel/boarding facility and have experience with large dogs, multiple dogs at the same time, and administering meds. As well as growing up with dogs I am still the biggest dog lover and would love to care for some pups :) I am a student with a very open schedule, such as availability in the morning, afternoons and at night. I do have a part-time job, I regularly work weekends for a few hours at a time. I always ensure enough play time/socializing if they’re home alone the rest of the time. If the owners are comfortable I love to take the dogs out for a hike or a run. I am comfortable with getting dogs in a crate or car as well as working with reactive dogs.
“Thank you so much! Got so many pictures. My dog is always sad when I leave but he had the zoomies with Emma so that’s how I know he loved her! Thanks again - would definitely rebook!!”

Lana did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of our two girls. From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, attentive, and genuinely great she is with animals. Even with the challenges of a smaller space and plenty of puppy energy, she made both Pagosa, our dog, and Arlo, our cat, feel completely comfortable, happy, and well loved. Throughout our time away, Lana kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was such a joy to see our girls so relaxed, having fun with their new friend, and enjoying what looked like plenty of exciting adventures and quality time. It was obvious they were getting lots of attention, exercise, and affection. Lana also took wonderful care of our apartment, and knowing everything was in such good hands made it so much easier for us to truly enjoy our vacation. We came home to two very happy pets, and we are so grateful for the care she provided. We would recommend Lana without hesitation and would absolutely love to have her care for our pets again in the future.

Colleen did a fantastic job taking care of our boys. Both are pretty high needs in very different ways. One needs medication on the clock, twice a day. The other is young, high energy and wants constant attention. Colleen was stellar! We came home to happy pups and a clean house!!! She is mature, respectful, communicates wonderfully, and asks questions. We felt so confident and relaxed while on our trip knowing she was there. I highly recommend Colleen to care for your animals and your home.

Santiago was communicative, thoughtful and conscientious. He sent daily updates and pictures, and it was clear our pups were well cared for. He went above and beyond during his stay — even offering to wash our puppy who had gotten dirty from walks and romping in the backyard. The house was just as we had left it, and the sheets and towels were thoughtfully washed and dried. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again!
