“Sharon was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for my elderly Labrador Retriever. This was my first time using Rover.com and also the first time I have left my Bella with someone other than family members so I was a little anxious. After meeting Sharon, my anxiety was erased. She treated Bella as her own - walked, brushed, and fed her plus during our conversation, she left me good tips on a local Vet, good hairbrush to de-shed Bella with, etc. I received pictures and updates every time that Bella was walked and cared for so that was very nice. I definitely recommend Sharon - wonderful lady!”

About: For most of my childhood, I spent time at my grandparents' farm with horses, cows, ducks, chickens, cats, and other animals which gave me the opportunity to learn how to take care of them. For the past 15 years, I have taken care of a lot of different breeds of dogs including my 3 pets that have become part of our family (Shi-Tzu 15, Boxer 5, and Jack Russell Terrier 10 months). I do their Grooming including cutting their hair, bathing, nails clipping, etc. (am not a professional groomer) I'm currently working part-time from home. I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekdays and weekends. I have a big fenced backyard where your pups can play with my friendly lovable pets of my own. I have a big kennel available at your request. I’m currently working from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! They sleep like babies, cause they play so much here. I have a big fenced yard, my pets are super friendly they love playing with their new friends. I have the ability to crate your pet if requested.

“My 2 GSD just love Amber. They now know when she is coming over. They get so excited to go out and play with her, her husband and her 2 dogs. Thank you Amber, you are the best”

“Kelsey is a responsible, reliable and caring pet owner who takes great care of others’ pets as well. Kelsey is a very experienced cat mom who not only loves her own cats, but she also spends so much time volunteering with local rescues caring for their animals as well. Kelsey grew up with a pet dog who she absolutely loved so she is also very experienced with dogs. I have known Kelsey for 15+ years and if we lived near each other, she would be the first person I’d ask to watch my fur child, Piper! She is great at following detailed instructions, and since she’s a fur parent herself, she understands how hard it can be to leave your pets in the care of a sitter so I know Kelsey will make you feel at ease, and she will take care of your fur babies just like you would to make sure they’re happy, comfortable and safe! I highly recommend Kelsey!!”

“Heather took great care of my animals while I was away from home. She dropped in twice a day and gave me peace of mind knowing they were okay.”

“Claudia is always very loving and attentive with our dogs and we trust her thoroughly! She is reliable, often going above and beyond expectations, and is always friendly. Great communication and care. We highly recommend her!”

“Ashlynn is an animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs and horses. She has a lot of experience caring for a variety of farm animals. Ashlynn had administered medication to elderly dogs and makes sure to do it right on schedule. Her attention to detail is bar none. She even washes her sheets and towels when she pet sits overnight. I would highly recommend Ashlynn for all your animal care needs. Did I mention that she is an avid runner, so if you need your dog to get out and enjoy nature, she can go the miles.”

About: Avid pet lover who treats animals like my own children! This home is filled with love and lots of energy to meet your pets needs. We went through the hard process of aging dogs ourselves and cared for pets with special needs due to aging. Currently have a young dog who loves to play with other dogs. I get to create my own schedule with work and am able to come stop home mid day. I am done working by 3:00. Able to be with pets for rest of day. I have large fences in yard and a 2 year old dog who loves to play with other dogs. My school aged children and myself enjoy taking your dogs on walks. Plenty of space in the house for crates and play!

“Machenna has been an effective communicator and been consistant and reliable. She is very conscientious and super sweet with our 4 dogs. No surprise given her background as a vet tech. Its quite obvious that she loves animals! I WOULD RECOMNEND!”

“Nick did a great job walking our dog for 13 consecutive evenings while I was out of town. Our dog, Lenny, really likes Nick. We will not hesitate to ask for Nick’s help in the future when the need arises.”

About: I can't remember ever being without a dog or cat! Caring for, running, walking, hiking and sitting for all pets has always been my passion. I'm available anytime after 7 am to visit with, walk, hike or run your pet. I'm also available to just sit with and snuggle your pet anytime. I will come to your home and pick up your pet and exercise them, or visit in your home respecting your desires and pet's limitations.

About: I’ve personally owned three Labrador retrievers and have a cat. I worked as a kennel technician in a boarding/training facility, where I learned more in depth of how to take care of dogs, how to act depending on their behavior, administering medication, feeding, and play groups. I worked for a local company in Fort Collins for two years where I have taken care of cats and dogs. I walked dogs, fed the pets regularly, stayed the night where I have monitored the pets, and given oral medication to both cats and dogs. Growing up, I’ve pet sat for many friends/family as well. With these jobs and personal experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and with disabilities. From a cat with arthritis and a blind dog, to training young puppies leash and potty training. Two years ago, I took a course called Dog Gurus, learning about dog behavior and how to act/treat them properly. With anything I do, I’m always making time for my pets. Which is how I feel about dog/cat sitting. It’s something I like to do for fun! I prefer to care for pets in their own home, as they feel more comfortable there. Especially when I’m new to a pet and they don’t have trust built up quite yet, it’ll help us get to know each other comfortably. I give the pets all of my attention, making sure they get plenty of play time and cuddles!

“Ashley was very accommodating for our new puppy with all his energy!”

“Thank you sooo much!”
