1. Aidan W.

“Aidan was great for Bonnie. We had some minor hiccups at the beginning of his stay, but totally understandable now given the circumstance. The house was clean when we got back and she was happy!”


2. Cami K.

“Cami is seriously the best!! She was with my 2 dogs, she was super attentive to them both while I was away from my house. She updated us and sent us pictures of our pups which made us feel so at ease. This was our 1st time using Rover in Colorado. We felt so comfortable and worry free. Cami even brought our mail in the house. I can’t think her enough! I would definitely book with Cami again😊”




3. Andrea B.

“Wonderful with all of our animals. Sent tons of videos and pictures. She put our minds at ease while out of town. Would definitely book again!”


4. Carolyn H.

“Cara did an amazing job taking care of our four animals! You can tell she truly loves animals and spent a lot of time with them while we were away. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, and we came home to very happy and well-cared-for pets. On top of that, she left our house in great shape. We felt completely at ease knowing our pets were in such good hands. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


5. Danielle K.

“I could go on and on about how amazing Danielle is! Before we left she came over for a meet & greet and it instantly relieved the anxiety we had about leaving our dogs for an extended period of time. She stayed at our house for a week watching our two dogs. She checked in with us daily- sent photos and updated us with her schedule (our dogs have separation anxiety and we really needed someone who would be with them most of the day, so she made sure to let us know when she would be gone and for how long- I GREATLY appreciated that). Our dogs looked so happy to be with her and we could tell she was so loving and attentive with them. It is a great feeling having someone I whole heartedly trust to take care of my babies and my home- now I can travel stress free knowing my home & dogs are in great hands. Danielle is so friendly & a great person- I HIGHLY recommend her. She left our home sparkling clean as well and picked up the dog poop which was not expected by us- she just goes above & beyond! Thank you Danielle, I know the dogs will be excited to see you again!”


6. Victoria V.

“Victoria was so amazing with Teddy! He felt so comfortable with her even at our meet and great. I felt comfortable with her staying at our house. She even went above and beyond to clean and change our guest room sheets before she left. I couldn’t recommend her enough! We will definitely be booking again for our next vacation 😊”


7. Kayla G.

“Kayla was great! She was flexible when we needed her to start a day earlier. She was very clean and even washed the sheets. Thanks for taking care of our boy!”


8. Cherontae T.

“Cherontae was absolutely amazing. Our dogs definitely loved her. She sent us pictures daily & kept us updated throughout our whole trip. I 100% recommend her. She made me feel comfortable and at ease during my trip. When I returned my home was clean and I couldn’t even tell someone had stayed there. Will definitely continue booking care with Cherontae since we travel often. Thanks Cherontae.”


9. Meghan L.

“Fantastic dogsitter! Meghan watched our dogs again and always loves them so well (even with all their quirks!). She is easy to talk with and responds so quickly to everything. Can’t wait to have her watch our dogs for many future trips!”


10. Charlene G.

“Charlene was absolutely amazing watching my two dogs. She also was kind enough to lock chickens up and let them out in the morning. She was very responsive and left the house just as good a shape as it was before she stayed for a week. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Charlene for any pet sitting services. We will be using her from now on!”


11. Kim W.

“Kim was great! When we came home the pups were relaxed and not stressed at all. I could tell they were well cared for. I will definitely book with her again!”


12. Angel N.

“Angel was a great Sitter! He came to our home to meet us first, met the dogs , and got the lay of the land. It was so comforting to know the dogs were safe and had a companion with them in their own environment. This was also most important to us since we had just moved across the country and the dogs had already been through a lot of change. I will definitely rebook Angel the next time! Thank you for coming to our home and taking great care it.”


13. Mikaela P.

“Mikaela is awesome!!! She has watched my boys on multiple occasions and they absolutely love her! She sends updates with pictures and takes such good care of my babies! She is our favorite!”


14. Katilyn B.


“Our dogs (and us) loved Katilyn! This was our first time using a house sitter and we will never go back to using a boarding facility after this experience. Our dogs loved Katilyn and we loved that she sent daily updates and was super communicative. She even took our high energy girls out for some runs! Usually when we go on trips, my husband is asking several times per day if there are any updates on our dogs from the facility we formerly used. He asked me about updates maybe twice the entire 5 day trip so I know he felt very comfortable with the care they were receiving at home. Katilyn will be my go-to in the future. She also left the house super clean which we did not expect her to do but very much appreciated coming back to a clean home!”


15. Nichole V.

“Nichole is patient, calm, professional and has great experience with special need dogs and those with behavioral issues. I trust her with my pups and home due to her reliability and my pups love her as well!!”


16. Michael L.
“Michael is a great pet sitter for our doggies. We never worry about them when we’re not home because we know that our dogs are happy with Michael. He sends regular pics and we can tell the dogs are content and well cared for! ❤️”


17. Sara M.

“Sara accommodated a super last minute week long cat/house sitting and did a great job. Took care of everything as directed, spent plenty of time in the house with them, provided plenty of updates and photos, and was very responsive to messages. Came back to 3 happy cats! Will definitely be bringing Sara back in the future!”


18. Amya G.

“Amya was great on a 5-day home stay with our two dogs: a 1-year old energetic Malinois and a 10-year old Boxer-mix. My husband and I immediately sensed a very kind energy from Amya and liked her right away! She asked great/important questions before and during the visit, sent daily updates, and it was apparent she was very thoughtful in her approach. Amya will be our future go-to for our pet sitting needs and we highly recommend her to anyone looking to have their pet (s) in caring hands!”

About: *********NEW OFFER******* Now offering grooming which includes shampoo bath/ blowout and undercoat treatment to help with shedding! This cost depends on the size of the dog starting at $20-$65. FREE with extended stays 7+ days to ensure your pup comes home smelling fresh from their stay on the farm! :) I have taken care of animals since I was very young and have enjoyed every minute of it! I was once a volunteer trainer for Guide Dogs for the Blind program and have trained many dogs of my own growing up. I am comfortable handling any age of dogs, puppies or older pups needing special care and supervision. Pet care is always part of our daily routine in our family as we own three dogs of our own and a small family farm. We are always available for any updates or questions you may need to ensure your pup is having a comfortable stay! We do have an infant. He was born in January! So if you do not feel comfortable with your dogs around babies. Please find other arrangements but I’m also happy to do meet and greets if you feel that’s needed :). Lots of time for play and rest inside! We try to keep your dogs routine as close to their home routine as possible! Our dogs love having visitors and playing with the doggie daycare pups! We have an impeccable facility for you to feel comfortable about your pup staying and playing with us! Each dog is under 24/7 constant supervision and we have five dog yards so that dogs can be separated if need be. Home all day to ensure your pup has the care, attention and potty breaks they need! Our dog yards have coverage for shade/ toys for playing and of course constant supervision. Each dog run serves its own purpose. Some are bigger for large play areas. Some are smaller for short potty breaks on hot days!
