“Angela did such a great job with my pup Roo! I address a few special concerns I had with my pup and she was very attentive and did such a wonderful job easing my mind knowing he was in good hands. He is a big strong pup and decided to engage in a “tug of war” during his walk with his leash and Anglea was strong enough to claim victory! Roo plays tig of war when he is super excited so I know Anglea is someone I can trust again to take care of him !”

16. Kiana V.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and love them both! I am reliable and love staying active with them. I’ve worked as a dog sitter for about 3 years and I am ready to take on more. I am very responsible and my schedule is flexible right now. When I pet/house sit it is usually at the client’s house. I am clean and make sure everything is left better than how I found it. I am flexible with my schedule, I am usually out in Pagosa Wednesdays and Thursdays as an esthetician but that is also subject to change based on my appointments scheduled. I unfortunately do not accept onboarding because I live in an apartment with a roommate who has a dog. He is incredibly friendly and loving but still a puppy.


17. Carter N.
“As Carter’s mom, I can attest that he’s LOVED dogs from a young age. He was a big reason, in fact, that we became a Rover family about ten years ago. He has grown up feeding, walking and loving dogs of all ages and breeds most of his life. I’m excited for him to start his own Rover adventure now that he’s in college. Your pup will be in excellent and loving hands with him.”


18. Lucy L.
“Lucy is a very caring and loving person w/people and doggies-dogs love her! She was raised w/dogs and would be good w/tending to ur dogs needs!”

About: Dog Loving Empty Nester - Ready to Spoil Your Pup! About Me: I'm a responsible, clean, and conscientious dog lover who recently became an empty nester. My daughter moved out with my boy Harry and my other pup sadly passed away in January💔. I miss my furry companions and I'd love to lavish my love and attention on your precious pups!🐾 Why Choose Me? I provide in-home care, ensuring your dog feels comfortable and safe in their familiar surroundings. Think of me as an extension of your loving family – I'll treat your 🏠 home and pup with the same respect and care I give my own (and that's a lot!). Bonus: I am also a Nanny on case you or a loved one would ever need overnight care. Feel free to refer your friends and family for their pet sitting needs too! Thank you for your consideration! #dog lover #empty nester #dog sitter I'm reinventing my life after burning out from 25+ years in Corporate America. I'm looking to supplement my income and caring for dogs and caring for your home are just something that makes me happy! I am flexible and can be almost anywhere in 1-3 days time, so hit me up and please refer your friends and family. I keep my eyes on them at all time. It takes only a few minutes for a dog to get into something they aren't supposed to. All dogs are different and I have raised several breeds of dogs, so I understand that each dog has significant routines and preferences that must be followed. I love it when I get detailed info on how to best support the pet parents as well as attend to the dogs' needs and routines. I would make sure that they are leashed when we walk, carefully feed the correct amounts, have plenty of play and cuddle time, and keep dogs out of brush, stickers, or other areas that can be dangerous. I follow instructions to a T. You know your pet and home best!
