About: I have been working with animals since I was 14, when I did drop in visits for Sophia, a blind senior cat, and spent the day with Pointers Hunter and Coco while their owner was out. Since then, I have cared for many pets, mostly staying with them while their owners are away. I have experience with puppies and am comfortable with large dog breeds (my grandparents have always had Dobermans!). I have a three year old Sphynx cat named Goose, and thanks to him I have experience taking care of breeds with specific care needs. I am available for walks, drop in visits, or house sitting. I am a full time student, but my schedule is fairly flexible with my days mostly consisting of one or two 90 minute classes. I am fully available on weekends and thursdays and have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings of the other weekdays. I will take your lead in terms of instructions, after all, you know your pet best! I will make sure your pet is cared for and loved while maintaining the same quality of care that you would give them.

“Andrea is every fur baby mom’s dream sitter. She’s timely, responsible, and loving. Every day I was given multiple updates about how my babies were doing and what they did that day. It eased my mind so much knowing they were safe, loved, and more than well taken care of. I could not recommend Andrea more!”


“Ayanna was magnificent both as a cat sitter and a housesitter. We had a meet and greet before we left so that Ayanna would have a chance to meet our cat. It’s very clear that Ayanna knows exactly what she’s doing with cats. Our cat responded to her extremely well. Ayanna sent a lot of pictures every day and was on top of everything. She is fantastic! I highly highly highly recommend her.”



“Great communication. Josie has a wonderful weekend with Catie”


About: I grew up with dogs and have pet sat both dogs and cats. I love all types! I can walk, feed, play, clean up after them, administer meds, and bathe them if you would like. I can also clean in general and care for seniors and kids as well. I am a graduate student receiving my Masters in Special Education. I can be available during the week and weekends.I can either stay over or stop by but I can not house them in my home unfortunately. I will follow any protocols you have for caring for your pet in your home. Like feeding protocols, walking, training, cleaning, medications, crating, and bathing. I am an organized person and cleanly so I will definitely clean while taking care of your dog.

“Eileen is an absolute angel on earth! Not only does she have experience and expertise caring for animals, she has a huge heart and provided love and care for my two dogs as if they were her own. One of my dogs is senior and has special needs - I cannot emphasize the peace Eileen gave me knowing he and my other pup were in such good hands! Eileen is extremely thoughtful, even with the transition of when I left and arrived back home. She gave them so much love and sent me photos and videos of the fun they were having which again, gave me so much peace. Eileen is the best sitter I’ve had, I am so lucky I found her!! ❤️”


“Peter is such a well-spoken, considerate, and accommodating young man. My dog immediately fell in love with him, and Peter offered the care I would've given if I were home-- and then some! Peter not only offers exemplary pet care, but also conducts himself in an organized and cleanly matter. You can be confident that he will keep your house in pristine condition. I didn't ask him to, but he vacuumed, took out the trash, and cleaned the dogs' water and food bowl. I would recommend Peter to anyone with pet needs because you can tell he cares about the work that he does. His rates are fair, he is open to negotiate, and you can count on him to respond. Peter has set the bar for pet care, and pet owners should never have to expect any less. He sends consistent updates, and spends quality time with your pet. Without a doubt, I will be booking with him in the future!”


“Sarah was an exceptional dog sitter. She took care of my 100 lb German Shepherd, Max, for a week. Max was well taken care of and when he got chewing gum stuck in his paw, Sarah took him to the Vet for quick treatment and removal of the potentially poisonous gum. She did this even though she probably was late for work as a result. I can’t thank her enough! I highly recommend Sarah to take care of your dog and house while you’re away.”


About: I am Jennie and I’m 25 years old. I love dogs so dogsittig seemed right for me. Growing up I was always exposed to dogs. I would go to the dog park almost every weekend with my own dog. I love big and small dogs alike. I have done dog walking, drop in visits, and multiple over nights. I am available week and weekends full time upon request. I love playing ball and frisbee with dogs, and taking them on long walks. I love seeing dogs happy, when they’re happy I am happy. Thank you! Jennie I work a flexible Hybrid schedule. So I am able to work from home a lot of the time. After discussion I can figure out the best schedule to be able to work from home and dog sit to provide the most time and play for your pet! I’ve grown up with multiple dogs in the family and I would treat anyone else’s pet the same way with mine. Lots of pets of course, but making sure they get enough time to walk or run around, fed on time and if they have any other needs that I meet them!

“Liz was great! Incredibly communicative & attentive. Liz was more than willing to meet prior to, was on time, and kept us up to date as the day went on. Plan to rebook!”


“My dog got kennel cough before we were traveling and I needed to find last minute arrangements at our house for him since he could not be in a group setting. I looked on Rover and was lucky enough that Julia had a last minute availability. Little did I know that Julia would be everything we needed and more! Julia sent frequent updates on Boulder and another bonus was that she is a photographer and takes beautiful photos!! She cared for Boulder so well and I was completely comfortable even though he was sick. I will absolutely be using her again!!”


“Bethany was fantastic!!! Super communicative and professional. She sent daily pictures and updates of our golden retriever and cat. She was super flexible when I last minute had to change the timing of her start / finish. She stayed at my apartment and left it in pristine condition!”


About: I have a great appreciation for all animals, which stems from growing up with a variety of pets. I've had dogs and cats I've trained and cared for since they were puppies or kittens. I even have experience with parrots, turtles, and a snake! It's because of my genuine respect for animals that friends and family trust in my enthusiasm to extend my reliable and loving care to their little ones. I hope to provide you with the same peace of mind that your pawed bestie will receive a happy and nurturing experience. I currently work part-time with flexible hours, so I can be free to meet your pet's schedule! With advanced notice, I can try to accommodate any schedule. I want to carefully learn your routine for your pet(s) so I can provide a similar caring environment for them. I know it can be nerve wracking to leave them behind, so I'll make sure you receive updates from your bestie!

About: My passion for pets drives me to do more than just sit—I connect, train, and nurture. I tailor my approach for each animal, from playful puppies who need fun training sessions to senior pets who deserve gentle, compassionate care. I build trust and create an environment where your pet feels like family. Morning Routine: Start your day with a walk, play session, followed by feeding. This sets a positive tone for both you and your pet. • Midday Check: walk, or training session to reinforce positive behaviors. • Evening Wind-Down: End the day with another walk, some playtime, or cuddles. This helps pet relax . I prioritize safety by inspecting every area for hazards and securing potential escape routes. I build trust through gentle interaction, respecting each pet’s routine and needs. Whether in my home or the client’s, I create a calm, comfortable, and loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for every day.

“Great experience having Gabriela house sit my 2 medium sized dogs. Very friendly and asked lots of great questions prior to the booking. Stayed in my place for 5 days and house was left spotless and dogs taken great care of. Enjoyed my daily updates, highly recommend!”
