About: Grew up with cats and currently live with one 7 year old cat. I have experience with dog sitting and care, and can provide a loving environment for your pet. Every day I take care of my cat by feeding, playing, cuddling, petting, and cleaning her litter box. I’m always providing attention to her and any other pets I’m sitting. I always make sure to follow any guidelines set out by the owner regarding care, food intake, and exercise. I also have a fenced in yard that dogs love to play in.

“Zane jumped in last minute to help check in on a 4 month old puppy I was fostering. He was so prompt with his communication and made the process a breeze. Much appreciated!”


“Madison was able to care for my elderly dog on short notice and was very kind and accommodating. She was timely, and attentive to Peppers unique needs, which gave me piece of mind while being away. Would definitely recommend her services to others!”


“Matthew did a great job taking care of our cat for the first time. He was an excellent communicator, on time, and followed instructions carefully. Plus, our kitty tends to be very nervous and she warmed up to Matthew quickly. Will definitely book again!”


“Carrie was able to let my pups out last minute which was a huge relief! I appreciated the photos and details of what they got up to during her visit!”


About: I love being able to take care of dogs like they are my own - I always grew up with dogs as big as a 100-pound flat coated retriever and my little terrier-dachshund mix back home in Santa Cruz. I also have assisted professional dog walkers in San Francisco. I love running, hiking, and walking throughout Boulder but also love a calm day with my book on the couch. Growing up with dogs allows me to take care of my dog like it is my own - with the most care, love, and respect possible. I am attentive and will do everything I to make sure you know your dog is having the best time. I’ve attached some photos of dogs who are near and dear to me :) I work part time as a landscaper and canvasser for the environment when I’m not pet sitting. These are short shifts throughout the week so I have a lot of flexibility in terms of scheduling. Essentially, I am ready to accommodate any kind of dog! I live in roomy 2 bed apartment with someone who also loves dogs. We have lots of room and thankfully, hard wood floors (easy cleanup!) Outside the apartment, there are lots of grass areas for dogs. Depending on your dogs needs, we will likely take lots of bathroom breaks, go for walks, and play inside (maybe catch a nap too) in case it’s too hot. There is always a full water bowl and I am always paying attention for queues for going to the bathroom, etc. In terms of boarding, it’s completely up to your dog! So the couch, bed, floor, crate are all up for grabs so that they feel at home.

About: I have been pet sitting for 8+ years and grew up with two wonderful dogs of my own back home! I absolutely adore animals and love experiencing the outdoors with them! I am ready to offer your dog a loving and caring home to stay in or come to you for your needs! I look forward to hearing from you! I am currently available 24/7 to care for and play with your pups and then during the year will have some classes but will come home in between! I am able to take your pet out as many times as requested/needed and can offer a loving home with roommates who cannot wait to have a pup in the home!

About: I’ve taken care of many different dogs of many different ages since I was little, allowing me to have diverse experience in dog care. I’ve had 4 precious dogs of my own, one of which I’ve raised since he was 2 months old. Another one has gone to heaven, but I actively took care of him until the end of his life. I live a very active life, going on hikes daily and walking my dogs. My current dogs are 14 and 8 months old, and while the 8 month old is happy to hike with me, the 14 year old is happier to take a slow stroll around the neighborhood. I’m happy to drop in, play with your pooch, feed, water, and try to trick into taking medicine (as I’ve had to do so in the past with my own). I have done drop ins and dog walking before, for dogs of all sizes, from Malteses to Standard Poodles. If you want your dog to be out of energy by the end of the day, let me know! I’ll take them on a 1-4 hour hike of your choice! I’m available 24/7, though the best walk and hiking times are early morning and evening. I attend CU Boulder; and until August 21st there should be no scheduling conflict or anything of that sort! At the moment I’m available 24/7, however I am only available for drop ins and dog walking. The best times for me are from 6am-9:30pm as I am an early riser. I will be there for whatever the dog needs, food, water, potty break, and cuddles. If your dog wants to be left alone, I’ll respect that space as while all dogs deserve love, not all dogs want the love of a stranger. If your dog is older and needs some extra help or potentially may need some extra cleaning or changing of diapers, I have experience regarding that as well, as I have taken care of various senior dogs in the past. My 17 year old maltipoo and my neighbors 16 year old chihuahua. I want to be upfront however and say that such things involving cleaning of that sort will have an extra charge, simply because it can be time consuming. I make sure my dogs eat, drink their water, and get their energy out before leaving my home, and would love to help to do the same for yours.

“This was my first time using the Rover platform and Sarah made it a great experience . She responded immediately to my request & offered a meet and greet. She was communicative throughout, timely with visits, sent updates and photos. I was very comfortable working with her. I highly recommend her services. Thanks so much Sarah!”


“I’m a happy return customer with Maggie- she does a great job communicating, I appreciate her flexibility, and my cat loves her! Looking forward to counting on Maggie again in the future :)”


“Regan was great. She sent pictures, gave Goose a short walk for a bathroom break and stayed the entire time. She also went above and beyond to clean up some of the food Goose had strung about.”

She is caring and truly loves dogs, and understands that each one has its own personality and needs. Not only will your dog be in great hands with Sommer, they will probably also have the best time!”


Olivia W.
“I’m happy to recommend Olivia as a dog sitter and walker. I have 2 dogs that we live, they’re our fur babies. I used Olivia to sit for the on 2 different occasions. They live her and she, noticeably, loves them. It didn’t take long for them to bond where I noticed that with some sitters o. The past. I usually don’t write reviews but since I love all dogs I would be happy to see some other dogs benefit by her long walks and excellent care. I’m going to use her often now that I found a good and trustworthy dog sitter.”

Elonna was great! Very attentive and put me at ease while I was away. I will book her again for sure!

Kristen was wonderful. She was responsive to the last-minute request, a good communicator, and very thorough with her check in and follow up. Highly recommend!

Eva is fantastic & took great care of our cat as always. We always receive daily updates and photos which are always fun and appreciated. Would book again 10/10

Raina was very responsible and took great care of our hamster and fish. I would highly recommend her!

Our cat seemed glad to see Falecia every day, and we were happy to receive a number of pictures each time she visited. Falecia kept the food and water bowls full, the litter box clean, and watered our plants. We will definitely book her again!

Kyle was extremely communicative, responsive, and followed all of our instructions to a T while taking care of our two kittens for a weekend! He was even able to give our squirmy girl ear drops by himself after she developed an ear infection the week prior. We would totally trust Kyle with taking care of our babies again!

Morgan was great! Did well with my two cats, my shy cat was comfortable enough around her to not hide the whole time which is a big deal. Morgan was a reliable communicator and did the job well

Zane is reliable and thorough. Also, he quickly befriended our cat Keira. We'll definitely work with him again

Mary is the best catsitter we’ve had! She is on top of everything and so sweet with our cat, Juno. I love that she sends photos, updates, videos, and she is just really reliable and great to work with.

Judy took good care of my pets in spite of their idiosyncrasies. Her communication was great and I felt they were in good hands. I would definitely use her again!

Rory was amazing with Rey! Sent very cute and fun pictures and is a great communicator. Our feeder failed to detect Rey eating for a day, and Rory did an unscheduled visit to make sure he was okay and eating! Would book to petsit again!

I have literally never felt so comfy with a sitter as I have with Alexandra! She sent plenty of pictures, left a great description of her visits, and kept us in the loop! Super great!

Kim is wonderful and beloved by our cat who waits by the window for her to arrive. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Brian took great care of my two cats while I was out of town. He sent many photos and gave updates on how they were doing. He was very helpful and communicative when one of the cats had to go to the emergency vet. Came back to a tidy apartment and happy cats!

Chelsea was great! She took great care of my dog and always made sure to share all the details of each visit.

This is the second time Jayden’s sat for me and I will definitely reach out to her in the future as well! Her communication and care for my cats gave me peace of mind while I was on vacation, and when I got home I could tell they had gotten plenty of attention and that my care instructions had been followed.

Reliable, caring, easy to communicate with It’s now my first choice when I need a pet sitter for Gino

I enjoyed the updates I got in a daily visit. I’ve never let Keisa this long and I felt very comfortable with Avery taking care of her

Abby was friendly and great with our dog. She provided great communication before and during our trip. She proactively made sure she knew all our dog's care needs and general stuff for dealing with our house setup. Overall warm and professional - will definitely reach out next time.

Emilie was fantastic! She was very prompt at responding and took exceptional care of our cat Matisek while we were away. Her notes were detailed and helpful and we appreciated all the time she spent making sure Matisek was well cared for in our absence. When we got back, everything at home was in tip top shape. Thanks so much, Emilie!
