“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!”
“We met Hanna today and she got to meet our two cats, Hans & Enzo. Hanna had such a calming presence that immediately put our cat Hans at ease! Enzo was shy and kept his distance, but he is always wary of new people, so that's not unusual for him. Hanna asked insightful questions, making us feel completely at ease. We're excited to hire her to take care of our cats when we leave for a vacation next month, confident they'll be in great hands!”
“Maddison took excellent care of my cat while I was away on a trip! She even watered my plants when they were thirsty, which I really appreciated. She communicated with me effectively and was respectful of my home.”
“Tess was awesome! She was able to do a last minute drop in for our timid 9 year old cat. We appreciated the multiple pictures she sent us. She was super responsive and we felt better knowing our kitty had some love while we were gone.”
“Aviva has taken care of our kitty several times now and we’re so grateful for her thoughtful care. Our kitty is happy and comfortable and we don’t have to worry about her when we’re away. Thanks, Aviva!”
“Stacey was so sweet with my pack. She followed directions and my “normally shy” cat warmed up to her very quickly. I will use her services in the near future.”
“Isabella was an amazing cat sitter. She kept in contact with updates and many awesome photos each visit. She followed all instructions I wrote, my cat also really enjoyed Isabella’s company. I look forward to hiring her again when I travel next.”
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.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for as long as I can remember! I had my own dog for 14 years so I understand the patience and attention pets need through each stage of their life. This reaches from a playful puppy to gentle senior care. I have also pet sat for numerous families, making sure each pet has felt safe and comfortable! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule. I’m available for dog walks early mornings on the days Monday, Wednesday Thursday, and Friday and anytime after 5pm each day! On weekends, I am open after 4pm as I work in the mornings. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making them part of my routine! As a dog walker, I make sure each walk is safe, active, and tends to the pets needs! This ranges from a slower pace for older dogs or a more active and playful walk for younger and energetic dogs! I’m careful about following any instructions that the owner provides for me!
About: I’ve grown up with two big dogs Jaki & Halo (my worlds) , I love animals and making them feel loved and taken care of always!

About: I have grown up with, and around dogs my whole life. I started looking after, and walking neighborhood pups when I was around twelve years old. I have experience with more aggressive dogs, small dogs, shy dogs, puppies, and other types of furry friends. I am also a runner! So if you would prefer for me to run with your doggie I would be more than happy to go on a jog with them:) I am currently a university student, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends after 3 p.m. on weekdays during the school year! On the weekend I am very flexible, I have a lot of time open to spend with your puppers! Feel free to reach out as I am flexible with scheduling! I would care for your pets in your home like I would take care of any pet in my own home. I want to make sure that the safety of your pet is my first priority. Having a trustworthy relationship with you and your animal is highly important to me.

Colorado University pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!
