“We left our two very active golden retrievers with Alec for the week. Along with plants to water and bird feeders to manage. He was professional, caring, and communicated well. My animals and home were tended as if it was his own ( or maybe his family home!) . I would never hesitate to have him come back and he certainly earned a 5 star rating. The house was clean on our return and although the dogs were excited to see us I could tell there was no stress evident from our absence.”

“Eric was a wonderful house and pet sitter! Our dog, Willow, loved Eric and his dog Rufus. Eric took Willow on many hikes and left our house in pristine condition. We would definitely recommend Eric to anyone living or staying in Summit County! Thank you so much!”

About: I have three dogs of my own two of those being high energy. Additionally I spent some time in the veterinary field. My brother has had me dog sit for him on several occasions. I’m currently working extremely part time so I am available most mornings and afternoons. I am available most weekends as well and sometimes for overnight sits. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I love being outdoors so several walks per day is no issue.
“Emma did an absolute amazing job with my pup! Kept in contact and sent pics. I would highly recommend her! She not only took great care of Bear Bear, but also of my home. Thank you Emma!”

About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.

About: I love dogs and have experience caring for all ages and breeds, including my own lab/pit rescue. I'm reliable, organized, and detail-oriented, ensuring your dog's safety and happiness. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I currently work part time as a manager at a small business and only need to be in the office when I have clients. Therefore, I have lots of time to care for your pet! I currently am not taking boardings as my home is not suitable at this time but I will take all precautions when caring for your pup in your home or in walks.

About: I live in the Evergreen area and work in Golden, and I spend a lot of time outside running and hiking, so I’m a great match for dogs who have some energy and need more than just a quick walk. I’m super reliable, easygoing, and I pay attention to the little things, whether that’s sticking to your dog’s routine or just making sure they feel comfortable while you’re gone. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and getting them outside, so it never feels like a chore. Happy to help with walks, drop-ins, or sitting, whatever you need! I live in Evergreen and work at a running store in Golden during the week (and some weekends), but I have a flexible schedule and am available at different times throughout the day. I can usually make mornings, afternoons, or evenings work depending on what you need. I try to keep things as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I pay attention to feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you give. I’m very mindful on walks and always prioritize safety. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and consistent. I also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is in good hands.
“Lilou was great with Lola, especially during the 4th of July for a night of scary fireworks. She was communicative and responsive all week. She sent pictures of Lola playing and Lola seemed to have a great time.”

“Mitch took great care of Jeff and Xochitl again. We knew they were completely safe with him and he sent us pictures of them. We are so happy when he stays with them!”

“Blake was absolutely incredible! She took our dogs and multiple walks a day, sent wonderful pictures, and made sure we had updates at all times! We will have her watch our pups anytime! Couldn't recommend more!”

About: I’ve had 2 dogs all of my life and have helped take care of my sisters dog when she’s out of town. I love to take dogs on walks so they can enjoy some exercise. Spending time petting and scratching dogs is one of my favorite pass times! I am a student a Seattle pacific university and I am home for the summer. I have a lot of availability and am super flexible. I am willing to walk your dogs anywhere you’d like. I will also enjoy giving your puppies much love and affection whenever it is needed.
“I’ve been using Rover for quite some time and Jennifer is the best sitter on the app. I had to travel out of town with short notice and Jennifer was available, responsive and most importantly, my dog loves her. My dog is high needs and Jennifer was more that up to the challenge. She was able to quickly bond with him and kept me updated the entire time. If trust and compassion are what you are looking for in a sitter, I would solely recommend Jennifer!”


“Rachel was incredibly attentive and took excellent care of our dogs. When one had an unexpected injury, Rachel needed to take her to the vet and administer medicine. We couldn't be more grateful she was such a pro! Thank you Rachel, we highly recommend your services and care.”

“AnnaLiese was great!!! We have never left our dog with a stranger before. Our dog loved her and she spent the day hiking with him and relaxing at her house while we went to a concert. I would definitely recommend AnnaLiese.”

“We loved working with Bryan! Bryan is responsive, fun, caring, and knowledgeable. He sent photos and videos twice per day and kept us up to date on our pup's activities. Bryan house-sat for five days and we felt very comfortable knowing he was watching both our home and our pup! We look forward to working with Bryan again.”

“Sarah did a fantastic job watching our two puppies for over 6 hours. She was prompt, quick to reply / give updates, and was a pleasure to work with. Our puppies loved her and we will book again!”
