“Riley did a great job with caring for my senior cat! She is communicative and gave plenty of love to my kitty which definitely kept my old gal less stressed while I was out of town.”
“Cami took WONDERFUL care of my pups when I needed a sitter check-in. She played catch with Dexter's so he was nice and pooped when I got back. She paid close attention to details and instructions and executed flawlessly. I will definitely book Cami again for my sitting needs!”
“We have had several excellent pet sitters from Rover, but Dixie is the best one yet. She is 100% reliable, took great care of our pets while we were out of town, is incredibly quick to respond, and she used our combination door lock and alarm system each time she came. She sent great pictures and messages about our cats. I would highly recommend her.”
“Amya did a wonderful job taking care of our cat Rocky. She kept me up to date with pictures and he looked happy. This is the first time we have been away from him for a period of time. I was not sure this would work, but it went well. I will definitely recommend Amya and call her again for Rocky.”
About: I am currently going to Pikes Peak State College to get my vet assistant and vet tech and I will become a veterinarian one day. I am incredibly passionate about animals and enjoy every second with them. I am free all day every week and free all day on weekends. I have worked at many kennels and I’m getting my education to become a vet so I would absolutely love to work with animals. I am very attentive to animals and I often pay full attention to them when I am around one. I’m very very passionate about animals and love them dearly.
About: I worked at a equine veterinary clinic for a year and a half and pet sat or gave medication for a lot of people and to a lot of animals. I work 8-6 Monday through Friday but am free to schedule otherwise! I am very flexible and will try to work around whatever you need. My dogs stay in a fenced area and sleep inside. I have handled many different animals though with very different rules for their little ones, so I am up for anything.
About: A little bit about me is that growing up in my household, we’ve always had pets, both cats and dogs. I have plenty of experience taking care of fur babies, from playing, bathing, and feeding them. I love animals and have three little fur babies of my own. I work full-time, Monday through Friday, but after work and on weekends, I have plenty of time to come by and play with your fur babies. I am free Monday- Thursday after 6pm. Fridays anytime after 2pm. Weekends I can do anytime after 12pm. I have an extra spare room where I can place your fur baby to make them feel more at home and comfortable. I do have three kitties that can play with them if your cat is friendly with other pets.
About: I am a female that is not new to good ol' quality work! I have had dogs my whole life and had my last "partner in crime" for 16 years. I have had all kinds of different dogs from a macho weiner dog to a gentle great dane. Size does not matter when it comes to taking great care of your furry family member! I also had a Golden retriever that had thyroid issues and had to take medications daily, so i am comfortable with administrating meds if necessary. I am a fun loving adventurous person that would love to take the time to walk or hang out with your pet. I do strongly believe that our pets are part of the family and will treat your's as apart of MY family! I am trying to build my clientele and do my dream job of working with pets. I am open all times during the daytime weekday hours to play with your furry baby. I care for my pets at home with lots of love and patience. I have a pitbull terrier and a weiner dog. Both that I rescued.
About: Hi! I’m Allison — the kind of sitter who treats your pets like family, not a side gig. I know how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby with someone new, so my goal is simple: you should be able to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, loved, and genuinely cared for. I’m calm, attentive, and detail-oriented — meaning I follow routines closely, respect feeding schedules, medications, and quirks, and pay attention to the little things that make your pet feel comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more of a couch-companion, I adapt to them, not the other way around. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means your pet gets plenty of attention throughout the day — not long stretches alone. I don’t have kids, so my time and focus are fully on the pets in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to adjust to your pet’s routine to keep things calm, comfortable, and familiar. I care for pets as if they’re my own. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and supervision. In my home, pets are in a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment and are never left alone for long since I work from home. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep pets comfortable by sticking to their usual schedule and surroundings. Safety, trust, and clear communication are always my priority.
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our newly sick cat. Our cat was diagnosed with gastroenteritis a week prior to us leaving on a long trip. Kaitlyn followed instructions diligently and administered all her meds which for our cat is quite the challenge. She’s great! Definitely recommend!”
