“Jeana was an excellent host for my pup while I was gone for the weekend. Truly made him feel at home and kept me updating the entire stay. Was incredibly accommodating with drop-off/pick up times. My pup came home exhausted after an incredible, active long weekend. Would highly recommend her to anyone who wants their dog to feel as if they’re on a retreat for the duration of their stay!”
About: I grew up in a household with dogs all my life, including boxers, a labradoodle, and a boston terrier! Family and friends would often rely on me for walking, sitting and bathing their pups. In college, I would spend my free weekends volunteering to walk and care for dogs at the local animal shelter. I now have a best friend of my own, a shepherd mix puppy named Davie! I would be honored to care for your pup, and provide any additional services you may need like walking or a bath! I currently work full time during the week, but can be available in the evenings for a check-in or on the weekends for check-ins or sitting. I have a large park right outside my front door that includes a walking trail and an enclosed dog park for your pup to play! My baby pup Davie does very well with other dogs and would love to play with yours!
“Alvin was so great with Bear ! He loves coming over and spending time. He truly treats Bear as if he was his own. Recommend his service and if you need to leave your furry friend for a short time.”
“They took such good care of my dog! Would definitely recommend them and plan on using them again! Very trustworthy people. I was gone for 2 weeks and they ensured great care of Moose.”
“We were so lucky to find Dana, who did an absolutely amazing job caring for Poppy while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure Poppy was comfortable and kept us updated every day.”
“Rebekah is wonderful. She watched our dog for almost 3 weeks while we were traveling, and it was fantastic. She sent pictures and updates every night, and our dog had a great time playing with Rebekah's dogs. She is easy to work with, and she is on the ball. I am excited to use her services again in the future!”
“Erika was very accommodating of my furbaby. She was welcoming and provided clear and consistent communication throughout Nala's stay. I would definitely use her services in the future.”
“Justine was wonderful and our dog came home happy and healthy. We got stunning pictures of our dog while she stayed with Justine and she also was very patient and understanding with me with booking and drop off/pick up!”
About: I’m SUCH an Auntie with all the pets I watch! I've regularly cared for all my siblings' dogs for decades -my sister's two medium dogs have even recently been for a stay of over a week, right here in my apartment! So a multi-day routine is pretty easy for me. I've been told more than once that a pet who "doesn't usually warm up to people" ends up seeking me out! Since it seems to be a strength of mine, your shy pet may end up a good friend! I live in a studio (no private yard), but I have a fenced back porch for outdoor time and the complex is very secure so walking around here is no problem! My schedule as a certified night-owl runs roughly noon to 5am, so I'm a great fit for lunchtime visits and evening/night walks -and bonus (!) you don't have to rush back from a late-night out, since I've got your doggos covered well past when most sitters would need you home. For overnight boarding, I'm a light sleeper and stay responsive to your dog's needs through the night and early morning. I won't cancel for snow -I grew up driving in snow and ice even from before 16 on a South Dakota farm and spent over a decade in Wyoming winters, so Colorado weather doesn't scare me off (maybe a blizzard sure, but otherwise!) My own 8-year-old cat is fully comfortable around dogs and cats. She's been present through all of my sister's dogs' stays (check out the photos!) and has her own secure, independent access to our enclosed back porch as well as a catio enclosure for daytime chillin'. Currently my job is DoorDashing, so I could whittle out any time for all pets! I am a big night person, so as said noon to 5am is typical. That would mean I would be awake with your doggos for more time than typical sitters at night. I am willing to do several days in a row if needed since I can move my dashing schedule around quite easily. When I am at your place not only will your pets be taken care of with whatever schedule you need, but your house will be looked after as well. If there are any accidents that need to be taken care of, I will make sure it's set! My home is very small -just a studio (a good-sized studio apartment), but I have had my sister’s two medium-large dogs stay there with me for over a week and they did a great job! It’s not much area to wander around in, but I have pet beds and spaces to feed them! I also live on the first floor with a walkout small back porch that leads to the well-maintained outdoors of the apartment complex where I can easily take your dogs for any outside time they would need. The soundproofing in my place is also immaculate, so even if they bark everything will be okay! I do have one cat. So if your dogs or other cats are not okay with that, I am more than willing to come to your place if need be. She is great with others as long as they’re not too into her business and she has places that she can hide when she needs so she is great! I also have a “catio” on my back deck that is attached to my window with a pet flap where my cat goes out and chills. It is a very large enclosure.
“Heather took great care of Moose while we were on vacation. She sent daily updates and made sure he got his daily walk. They accommodated his need to be fed away from the other dogs & he loved playing in their backyard. She let us come in advance for a meet & greet which we appreciated.”
“Andrea took amazing care of my dog, Theo! She provided multiple updates throughout her stay, in which Theo had a great time playing fetch in her large yard and lounged along side Andrea's dog. I would highly recommend Andrea and will have her watch Theo anytime.”
“Kanani is the best! My dog loves staying here and play with the other dogs. Communication with Kanani was great and I got daily updates and pictures. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, walking, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand the importance of following each owner’s specific instructions and routines. As a Mechanical Engineering student at Colorado State University, I’m dependable, organized, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own, ensuring they stay safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. As a Mechanical Engineering student, I keep a structured schedule and make time each morning before 1 PM and on most weekends for pet care responsibilities. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and giving them attention is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and am committed to following each owner’s instructions to help keep their pets comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific care requirements. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment while their owners are away. I also provide updates and photos when requested so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. 🐾
About: I’ve had black labs my whole life, and love meeting new pups. I work from home, so I’m able to be around the house all day with the animals. Glad to send updates during your time away, and make sure that your pet is getting the special care they deserve! I love going for walks, so I’ll make sure they get their exercise in! I work from home, and can work from anywhere, so I’m able to spend all day making sure your animals are safe and cared for. I’ll work had to make sure your pet is safe and comfortable, and have lots of fun with them along the way. Some dogs need lots of belly rubs, or time outside, and some just like knowing that someone’s there. I’ll cater to you and your pet to make sure everyone is happy!
“Our Dog Porter had the best time with Kyleigh! We were sent multiple pictures and videos each day. It was great to know our pup was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking here again.”
“George & Abigail are so nice! And they took such good care of Violet! They sent updates and photos, and really made sure Violet was comfortable with them at their home.”
About: I grew up on a small farm so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, small pets. All of my pets have been rescues and truly are my children. I focus on personalized care, enrichment, socialization, adventures and not just feeding and potty breaks. I’ll follow your pet’s routine while giving them the same patience, attention and love I give my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have pets of my own, so my days naturally include feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and plenty of outdoor adventures. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my day around the animals in my care, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, longer adventures or overnight stays. My home is pet-friendly with a doggy door and secure 6-foot vinyl-fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. My neighborhood has lots of walking paths and parks. There is a small dog park within walking distance.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Fort Collins is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Collins
Can not praise Lisa enough for her excellent care of our 14.5 year old pup, Penny. Over a 10 day stay we knew Penny was loved and cared for as if she were Lisa's own dog, and the updates on how it was all going were perfect. I would not hesitate to leave Penny with her, and her own dog Billie, again. It is always so wonderful to know you don't have to worry about your four legged family when you are away!
Zoe was great! She made the whole process super easy, and we felt really comfortable leaving Ranger with her. Ranger and Bodie hit it off right away, which made us feel even better about everything. It was nice knowing Ranger was in good hands while we were away. We’d definitely book with Zoe again!
Mikey is a great guy. He took wonderful care of my guy Maverick and based off the photos I got, I'd say they had a lot of fun. He asked really great questions and made sure that he was fully prepped for top tier care of my baby. I highly recommend booking with him if he has open availability. 😁😁
Stacey is incredible! She is an animal person through and through. Our pup is a very sensitive, anxious, at times challenging boy with lots of quirks-- and she is amazing at making him feel comfortable and safe. He got to truly be on vacation with Stacey! We are so incredibly grateful for her!!
Kayla has taken care of my 11-year-old Lab, Runner, twice while I’ve been traveling, and she has been wonderful with him. She is incredibly caring, patient, and accommodating to his needs as an older dog. The best recommendation really comes from Runner himself, he is always happy and excited to go to Kayla’s house! He also gets along great with her pup, Waffles, and is always excited to see him and play together. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Runner is somewhere he feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while I’m away. I would absolutely recommend Kayla to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with genuine care and affection.
Natasha is an amazing sitter and Gado got lots of bonus attention and love from her sweet children. He was in heaven playing in her back yard, and we got lots of updates from his walks and interactions with the family. I appreciated her experience and guidance. Gado wants another play date soon!
Are mini Bernie doodle, Bella, is always super excited to see Michael. He is a really great dog buddy. Without fail, he sends pics through the day to let you know how everything‘s going we really appreciate Michaels work and, without any reservation, recommend him to look after your pet.
