4. Hannah K.
“Hannah is a dear family member and she has looked after our two yellow labs many times over the years. I can guarantee that your pets will be in great hands with her! Our dogs were always sad to see her go because she loved them as if they were her own babies. We always knew that we could trust her to be on top of their feeding and medication schedules as well as potty breaks! She is incredibly caring and diligent and would make a wonderful doggie caretaker for any household.”


5. Alta B.

“Alta made sure our kitty was well fed while we were away for a couple days. I was worried that my cat might not come out or eat her food, as we had issues with this in the past, but there were no issues. Alta was very responsive and asked questions.”


6. Brittney C.
“Brittney has been interested in every animal her entire life. She had a variety of pets growing up and never failed to care for them. As a cat and dog mom now she notices little, as well as big changes in normal behavior and does everything necessary to keep her pets happy and healthy. They are a priority in her life.”

About: I am a lifelong pet owner. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats of my own a Labrador retriever and a shelter rescue terrier. Also 2 rescue cats I have forests, trails, and water bodies near me. I intend to keep the dogs active and outside during the day. Dogs enjoy open space, and exploration. I have a 4runner with plenty of room to do activities with dog/s. I can also feed the dog any special diet, or medications. I have a mountain and dirt bike if your dog is a runner and wants to be tired when given back to owner. My dogs are well trained and are good dog citizens. You can be sure that I will exercise your dog well and take care of them like my own. thanks for reading. I have an outdoor space for dogs overlooking Mesa Verde and building a dog agility course. on obstacle 3.

Dogs are inside house at night. I have a yard primarily setup for dog care. Dog houses, tether poles, set up like a community so dogs stay close to each other.


8. Monique M.


“Monique is a great sitter! As soon as I met her, I could tell she loved animals, was responsible, trustworthy, and our fur babies were in good hands. It really made it possible to actually relax knowing she was dropping in. My dog loved her from the second he met her and he's a great judge of character. Will be hiring her again.”


9. Eric D.
“Eric was an Excellent dog/house sitter for my 14 year old dog Tarzan. At our meet and greet walk, Tarzan responded better to Eric, than to me! Eric had a very calming effect on Tarzan. Upon returning, I found my house, very clean and tidy! And Eric was even able to pick me up from the airport! I will definitely use him again! 5 stars!”




10. Amber V.
About: I have an active lifestyle & have been a dog owner for over 14 years! I have cared for animals of many sizes, ages, and breeds in my personal life. I understand the nerves of needing dependable and trustworthy help with our furry family members. I look forward to providing you with peace of mind & providing reliable care! I am currently available 7 days a week to provide services/care for your pet. My availability is very flexible as I am a graduate student working part time. I am committed to following your detail and instruction of how you would like your pet cared for, with love and attention to any needs they may have. I am available for quick walks, hikes, runs, feeding and overnight/multi night stays


11. Samantha H.

“Samantha was available on a few hours notice. I appreciate that, and great updates on visits. My puppy chewed up paper towels and she was nice to pick it up. So grateful for her help.”


12. Rebecca O.
“I have know Rebecca for several years. I met her when she was my student aide in office while she was in high school. She is very responsible and loves animals. She takes care of my house, four dogs, chickens, and cat when we go out of town. I recommend her with no doubts she would take care of your fur babies and home.”


13. Patricia S.

“I cannot recommend Patricia highly enough. This was my first time using Rover, and it was an emergency. I was leaving town for a long-planned and non-optional trip when my neighbor was admitted to the hospital, leaving me with less than 24 hours to find someone else to care for my three cats. Patricia stepped up once I found her through Rover. She accepted the assignment within minutes, and then guided me by text through the application and scheduling process (which is very thorough but could be more user-friendly IMO). She showed up every day and stayed in close contact with me. She even watered my plants. Thanks, Patricia!”


14. Yuliya S.
“Yuliya is a very professional and compassionate person who absolutely love animals. She's caring, patient and by far the best pet sitter I've had. My dog, Tyson absolutely loves her and is always happy when she's around. You wont be disappointed ”


15. Erica M.
About: I have had dogs of my own since birth and have 4 now that I’m an adult. I love my fur babies and would love to help with yours! I have a special needs dog and can handle meds and special care needs. I am comfortable with puppies and older dogs too! I work remotely and can work from your home while taking care of your fur babies like they are my own. I can focus on your dog/ dogs all day and give them the love and attention they deserve! I’d rather come to your home so I can keep your dogs in their normal routine. Having dogs of my own, I know some get nervous outside of their environment and I want them to be happy.


16. Hayden K.

“Hayden was reliable and great with all my animals. A tall I refer here with goats, chickens, ducks, geese and two dogs. My big dog Gus loves him.”


17. Suede H.
“I have known Suede for years through animal rescue and through her work with our veterinarians’ office. I’ve also had the pleasure of having her pet sit for me on several occasions. She is professional, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond for the pets in her care. You can feel comfortable knowing she has the experience to deal with any unknown that might pop up, and it’s obvious she just dang loves animals. I would highly recommend her for any type of pet or house sitting needed.”


18. Brooke B.
“I recommend Brooke enthusiastically. She stayed at my residence to cat sit my two cats. During the week that i was in Mexico, she stayed in touch daily. The house was immaculate upon my return, with contented cats.”


19. Andie G.
About: I'm Andie, and my dogs are Miley, Zoey, and KO. We love meeting new dogs, and having them over for "slobber parties". We recently added a new kitten addition, moth. We have a designated sleep area for the dogs to sleep all together, separately, or with us. We have areas inside for the dogs to play, or they can play outside in our fenced in yard where they can play together, or they can play separately. We are also able to relocate our animals so our attention is fully dedicated to your fur babies. We love to take the dogs on drives, walks, and to parks. Our animals are such important members of the family, and deserve to feel ever more special when away from family. My prices reflect my experience. I teach my dogs, and visitors new tricks with fresh food I buy daily for my dogs. I understand that your babies may not be used to being away from you, so I prioritize your babies, and make sure they get so much love and attention that they forget about being away from you. I've cared for senior dogs, administered medicine, and provided basic dog training skills to puppies for over 7 years. I am comfortable watching dogs for a long duration, or just for a few hours. I adore animals, and I will continue to devote my time to them, and to you. My schedule is very fluid and free. I work from home, and that allows me to board several dogs at a time, since my home, backyard and schedule allow it. I go on walks with my dogs daily and love to play with them in the backyard, or the nearby parks. We also have a large living space and love playing with them inside. I have a large yard, and tall fence that is locked at both entrances. I have 1 small male fixed chiweenie, KO, who is 7 and very lovable and playful. I also have a 5 year old aussie, Zoey, that is fixed. She is just as lovable, big, but knows it, and is as energized as a dog can be. She has learned to be mellow around most dogs since they are usually always smaller. I have a puppy, Miley who is a shih-chi. She is the most playful of the three. None of them have ever bit humans, let alone other animals. All are quiet and rarely bark. We often go to dog parks, and their playfulness towards the other dogs makes it difficult for us to leave when it's time. They love to play. I also have a safe space in my yard for when I watch senior dogs so my dogs can take a break and play separately from our visitors so they have space and can roam freely.
