Dog Sitting Eldorado Springs

About: You know when you’re out in public and your dog unexpectedly rushes straight over to say hi to a random (specific) person then needs to be physically pulled away even after they got the attention they wanted? For some reason, I’ve always been that random but specific person. Sometimes it feels like dogs suddenly materialize in front of me or like their “hello” is really more of a “it’s about time you got here!” Dogs (and cats, for that matter) also tend to insist on cuddling up next to me instead of their usual pick when I visit their homes (and I’m certainly not complaining). I currently only have cats, but I grew up with three dogs (a chocolate lab, a miniature schnauzer, and a Pomeranian) and have learned how to love both in the ways they want me to love them. What I love most about dogs is how pure they are. We all appreciate their undying loyalty, of course, but the sweet, unconditionally caring emotional presence that dogs carry themselves with is one of the things that makes life worth living. I consider non-human animals to be people too, and dogs are definitely among the best non-human animals. I would be just as excited as your dog(s) would be to make a new friend! My availability is flexible in general but particularly in terms of the time of day. I have a circadian rhythm difference that makes my sleep “schedule” change throughout each week, so if I’m given sufficient notice (48 hours), I’m easily able to modify my waking hours if your pet has time-sensitive needs. As mentioned in my bios, animals seem to naturally see me as a Disney princess. However, even though I’m very confident that I’ll get along with your pet(s) without any issues, their friendship is theirs to give, not mine to demand. Their needs are my top priority (and would be even if I weren’t petsitting); I recognize that some animals need lots of time and space to truly feel safe, and giving them that time and space is the only way to create a mutually comforting environment. Even if your dog/cat actually is insatiably social and unfailingly affectionate, I want to be sure that I get an idea of any individual boundaries or strong preferences beforehand so that I’m able to treat them with the same respect and care that I would a human person. As far as dogs and cats that want lots of love and affection, I am happy to give and share it! My cats sleep with me most nights and I often have one on my lap or next to my leg throughout a given day. Either way, I’ll follow your pet’s lead.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats from as young as 6 months old to senior age. I handle feeding schedules, walks, litter maintenance, playtime, and basic medications if needed. I’m also familiar with reading pet behavior to keep them happy while you’re away! My class schedule: Monday/Wednesday: 8 am - 12:20 pm Tuesday/Thursday: 9:30 am - 1:45 pm I’m currently a senior year at CU Boulder and attend classes in person. Before booking please understand that some days are busier with classes than others, but I am more than happy to work with you! When not in classes, I’m very attentive to your pets needs and we’ll get them their daily exercise and attention. I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your animal. I make sure there is nothing for your animals to get into to make them sick, leashes on walks, and I have a keen eye for attention to detail to keep your pets safe.

“Brenda was absolutely fantastic!! She truly cares about your pets, has amazing attention to detail, and is willing to help out however she can. Out of our different moves and uses of Rover, have never had a sitter like her!”

About: I’ve taken care of animal ever since I was a young kid. Family, friends, neighbors, etc have relied on me to take care of their pets! I play with, feed, and walk with them! I’m currently a full-time student a CU Boulder studying physiology. I have plenty of time in the morning, afternoon, and evening to take care of your pets! I care for pets in the client’s home by following all directions they give me! I pay close attention to all details and make sure everything is done the way the client requests.

“Martyna was wonderful with our cat! She spent plenty of quality time with him during each visit, made sure he was well-fed, and kept him stimulated with play. We felt very comfortable knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had pets ever since I can remember: dogs, cats, and fish. I have experience with bigger dogs and puppies. I own a beta fish as well, and have had them on and off for about 8 years. I am out of school right now, I attend the University of Colorado Boulder, so I am free the majority of the time. I do work at a nail salon as well, but I get little hours so I can definitely work around that! In my home, we have dog bowls and treats available, as well as fresh water. We also have a park next to our house for walks. In the clients home, I will be incredibly respectful of your space and be sure that I know where everything is located for the animals so I know they can get the best care while their person is away!

“Cassidy is absolutely wonderful! She is reliable, trustworthy and so sweet. She took great care of my cat, brushing her and playing with her, sending cute pictures and updates every day so I could feel she was happy and healthy while I was on vacation. I highly recommend her for pet sitting and will definitely count on her next time I need help with my cat.”

“Kristen was great! We had her watch our dog and she did a wonderful job spending time with him, sending us updates, taking him out! He was well taken care of.”

About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by pets. I currently have five dogs and two cats at home, so I’m very comfortable with all types of animals. I’m a student at the University of Colorado Boulder with a flexible schedule between classes, which allows me to take dogs on walks, hang out with them, or spend time with them based on your preferences. Neighbors often rely on me to help take care of their dogs, trusting me to provide attentive and responsible care. Please feel free to reach out if you’re interested! I’m currently a student at CU Boulder with a very flexible schedule. Since I’ve completed the majority of my requirements, I have no classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, and only 1-2 classes on the other weekdays. I’m also free on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to take care of pets. Between classes, I’m available to walk dogs, feed them, or simply spend time with them to make sure they’re comfortable and happy throughout the day. I care for pets by making sure their needs are met based on the specific service requested. At home or at the client’s place, I provide regular walks, feeding, and plenty of attention to keep them comfortable and happy. I also make sure their environment is safe and clean, and I follow any special instructions from the owner regarding medication, exercise, or behavior. My goal is to create a calm and positive experience for the pets, whether it’s a quick visit or longer care during the day.

“Cole helped make our first Rover experience a positive one! While traveling it helps keep us at ease knowing our pets are cared for so well. Thanks for the photos and extra long walk.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.

“Talia was wonderful. She was a responsible and conscientious sitter. I had no problem trusting her with my two shepherds while away on vacation. I would not hesitate utilizing her services in the future and encourage others to do so as well.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats (and fish and gerbils). I also often house sat for neighbors and friends growing up and took care of dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens. My family has a ranch in Colorado, so I also have experience caring for farm dogs and cats there! I love animals of any and all kinds, and love to get to know them and see their different personalities. I’m a college student home in Boulder for the summer. I’m currently self employed so my schedule is extremely flexible, and I can pretty much make any time of the day work. I cannot take pets in my home unfortunately. Otherwise I love to play and cuddle with cats and dogs, though I always respect their space and boundaries.

About: I am a huge dog lover who loves fetching with them, playing with them, and giving them tons of loves!! I love walking them if that’s part of their routine, and am just overjoyed to be able to hang out with them and give them a safe space while their humans are away! I have had and cared for dogs for over a decade and am very comfortable with all breeds and schedules. I am a part time student who has plenty of time over the summer. I’m happy to stay at the home so that your dog is in their safe space. I am very big on making sure they get the exercise and play that they need to stay feeling happy! My work shifts from time to time will keep me out of the house for ~6 hours at a time, but if that is unfitting of your dogs needs I’m happy to ensure that my work doesn’t overlap with my time staying with them. I am careful to be aware of the dogs schedule in your home and ensure that feeding, exercise, and sleep routines are maintained to ensure your dogs comfort. I will always make sure to carefully adhere to instruction, I am here to make the best possible environment for your dog(s) and nothing less!
