Pet 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.

“Nikki took excellent care of our beloved senior cat. He got lots of quality attention and pets from her. She had great communication and sent several pics each day.”

“Lali is amazing and incredible at what she does. My super shy shelter cat warmed up to her right away and definitely missed her after. Lali is also extremely communicative, thorough, and reliable. We felt like our cat was in great hands and would definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life. I am familiar with all personalities, sizes, ages and happy to meet them where they are at. Let me help make them comfortable while you’re away! My work schedule is flexible and when I’m not traveling for work, I’d like to spend my time helping with your pet, whether it’s walking, dropping in and keeping them company. I have a fenced in yard and if my dog gets along well with yours, I’d be happy to watch your dog in my home.

“Jennifer was great. We reached out on short notice and she was able to stop by and check on our dog for a couple days. Thanks again Jennifer!”

“Falecia was really diligent about following instructions. She took good care of our kitties while we were away! Great communication and updates.”

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.

“Chelsea is a fabulous dog sitter - responsive,accommodating and incredibly attentive to our dogs with a last minute booking request during the Christmas holiday period. Would highly recommend!!!”

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive care. I make time for timely check-ins, walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I prioritize consistency so pets can stick to their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and reducing stress while their family is away. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and make sure pets are always in a safe environment. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and organized. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable communication, patience, and compassionate care. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.

“Wenqi was incredible! She was so communicative, she sent so many photos of Callie, and Callie absolutely loved her. I will absolutely be hiring her again for all of my Rover needs.”

About: Although I am long distance from my fur best friends right now, I’ve grown up caring for dogs my entire life, including senior dogs and pups with disabilities. I also raised a rambunctious yellow Lab puppy on my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every dog deserves patience, love, and attentive care, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. As a college student, I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love—caring for animals. My class schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to relax indoors. There is almost always someone home to provide attention, companionship, and care, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am a caring, responsible household and will treat your pet like a member of the family while they’re in my care.

“Thank you! Caroline is incredibly professional and responsive. I appreciate the attention to both our pets but also to managing the entire process.”

“Samantha was professional, friendly and personable. She took extra great care of my pets!! I felt very at ease leaving her in charge. She went above and beyond. She took pics and sent a note everyday as well. I appreciate having had met such a caring sitter through Rover and will definitely contact again if she is available!”

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.

About: I’ve been around dogs from as early as I can remember, always going for walks or hikes with my own dogs or others’! I have experience taking care of senior dogs, dogs with health issues, and younger, more rambunctious dogs. I have experience taking care of and making homesick dogs feel more comfortable and safe when their family is gone. I’m always willing to welcome any and all dogs into my home and do my best to provide a home away from home, giving them all the love I can until their family comes home! I’m currently in school, however I’m only gone for three hours at a time, and am home for the night by 4 everyday giving me plenty of time to hang out and love on your pup, so they will never feel abandoned when you’re gone! I have a big, fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pup to roam, as well as plenty of room for them to wander around the house with it also being pet safe! I keep my house pretty clean so there’s not anything that your pup could easily get into helping make you feel comfortable and give you ease-of-mind allowing you to enjoy yourself on vacation or stay focused on whatever you’re doing while away!

“Had a great experience with Crystal! She is a cat whisperer! We have a very finicky cat that just started on Prozac and Crystal was able to successfully give him his pill each day. She really remembered everything I told her about our pets, and took the time to update me each day on how each pet was doing. We are very excited to have crystal take care of our pets again in the future!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Although I’ve always cared for pets of friends and family, I am excited to now care for pets at a more professional level through Rover! I’m a bit of a dog breed nerd and genuinely enjoy learning about breed-specific traits, behaviors, and enrichment needs. Whether your pup is a high-energy working breed that needs extra exercise or a laid-back companion who loves cuddles, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I believe every animal deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I am a self employed artist and photographer which allows me to have complete control and flexibility in my schedule to care for animals! I can be available on short notice and can easily work my schedule around the needs of each individual pet! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and affection while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I’m attentive to body language and behavior changes, allowing me to adapt my care to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As someone who enjoys learning about breed-specific traits and needs, I understand that every dog is different and strive to provide care that matches their energy level and temperament. My goal is to give pet parents the same peace of mind I would want, by treating every animal as if they were my own and keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I grew up with dogs and have loved them my entire life. During the school year at college, I miss having one around more than almost anything, so summers back home in California are my chance to be around dogs as much as possible. I work as a walker and sitter for a local dog walking company, bringing genuine experience and a lot of enthusiasm to every walk and stay. I am currently a student at CU Boulder but typically only have morning classes. I have full availability on the weekends and on Tuesdays and Thursday’s I’m fully available after 9:15 am! Monday and wensday I’m available after 11! I always prioritize safety by creating a calm and secure environment for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, ensure fresh water, safe playtime, clean spaces, and lots of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, building trust through consistency, patience, and care.

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.
