“I had a trip out of town planned so i needed somewhere for my Dane to stay for the weekend. At the last minute i had to cancel. Miss Whitney was amazing. I did a meet and greet earlier in the week. She slowly introduced Zen to her house, cats, and other dogs. She was very knowledgeable and so wonderful with Zen. She knew Great Danes temperament and was very gentle with him. In the future I will totally use her”

“Marci was great with my dog, Molly. She sent updates and pictures of Molly and her dog, Layla, playing ball. I would definitely have her sit for us again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’m experienced, attentive and nurturing to animals. I have had many canine companions throughout my life, along with two beautiful cats. I have done pet sitting, housesitting and property care throughout the years. Four of my dogs were rescues who had special issues (separation anxiety, digestive issues, physical limitations, shyness), so I’m well versed in paying close attention to an animals needs; administering meds, injections, special meals if necessary; and senior care. I have a fondness for older dogs and their needs. I was also trained as an animal communicator and can be extra attentive to subtle needs. I have knowledge taking care of small, medium and large dogs; and was a live in caretaker for others property and pets in earlier years. I have also done pet sitting with trusted housekeepers and have excellent references. My objective is to be kind and generous and also be clear about expectations, needs, and boundaries, so that I’m fully responsible and attentive to the care of your animals and home. I offer trustworthiness, with a bit of wisdom added in :); am quiet and positive. Having traveled a lot, I adjust and adapt easily to new environments. I am living in Grand Junction, Colorado. I will add that I cannot handle dogs that pull hard on a leash ( a little pulling is fine , but strong pullers, no). And am not good with incessant barkers. Those are two boundaries I have with dog care. I have also been involved in equine therapy and working with alpaca as well. PS. there's confusion on this site about my own pets. I don't know how to delete that part, but I have no pets of my own at this time. I'm retired and able to give a lot of attention to your furry ones, according to their needs. I lived in Spain the last three years and now back to the U.S to work on a book, which i can take anywhere I go, making it easy to be fully available for animal care and home needs, on an hourly and daily basis. Pet care daily has been part of my life for many, many years. I adapt to the needs of each housesitting/dogsitting assignment. If they like to play, then we play. If they need walks, we walk. As mentioned above, I can give medications, injections and abide by the guidelines needed for each animal. I am quiet, so the home will be peaceful. I am clean. I abide by the pets needs for meals. I enjoy walks in nature -- walking dogs has been part of my life for decades. I have a lot of empathy for animals, give them a lot of attention, and am able to tune into subtle needs through intuition. I sleep with my own dog companions next to me in their own bed, and when younger they would sleep in a crate near me. I'm adaptable to the needs of the dogs I housesit with; and love to cuddle if they are the cuddly type. If not, I allow them to have their space. PS. I'm a retired art therapist, wellness coach and was a home owner for many years; was also an Airbnb super host, enjoying creating nurturing spaces. I'm detailed oriented and know how to take good care of a home.

“Eleshia was everything we could hope for and more! She took great care of our small dog, was flexible on timing, and offered up stellar recommendations for what to do in the area. 10 stars if I could give them!”

Nathaniel K.

“Our first time using Rover….. and we loved Catherine! She was great with communication leading up to the visit and was prompt with picking up and delivering our Olive. She’s had some other small dogs that Olive played with throughout the day, and she was delivered back happy and exhausted. We are tent camping and she took her self to bed way before the night was over! We will definitely be using Catherine again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: I grew up in Loma Colorado on a large farm working with lots of animals. I recently moved to Florida, and am currently working at a doggy day care! I’m interested in taking care of babies outside of work! But if you are interested in where you could take them during doggy day hours, let me know! Working 30-40 hours at a doggy day care, let’s find a time that works! I’m unfortunately not available after 7:30 p.m, but I have days off during the week available let me know what you’re times are! Making sure there is water, I walk my dogs often, I have a pit and a chihuahua. I have a kitten, a cat, and a snake! What ever the pet, I’m great at handling and feel comfortable working with them. I’ll be happy to clean any messes made that I catch! Won’t leave a bunch of presents in your yard!

“Phebe was wonderful! My dog Anakin usually has separation anxiety, but not today! He made himself right at home and snuggles up with Mojo the Kitty. I highly recommend having Phebe watch your furry family members.”

About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal behavior, health needs, and the importance of consistent, compassionate care. From training energetic puppies and socializing shy rescues to managing senior pet routines and administering medications, I’ve handled it all with patience and reliability. Whether it’s daily walks, grooming, feeding, or just being a calm and trusted presence, I know how to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved. My routine includes dropping my kids off at school and waiting for them to come home later in the day. Im open before, after and in between. I can also take pets on car rides and walks at the many parks around Grand junction / fruita area. I have a decent sized fenced in yard to play in. We stay in the house if it gets too hot of course! I engage in play time and ensure safety is first.

About: We all get busy sometimes and our best friends miss us, so I would love to spend time with them while you cannot. I LOVE animals and would love nothing more than to give yours all the love they deserve. I will come to your place pet sit, go on walks. Or your dog can come to my place for a doggy day camp or even a weekend.. Please see pictures of my doggo and I can come meet and greet you before! I can dog sit, house sit, dog walk, whatever you need. Located in Grand Junction Colorado. I have a year old male labradoodle that loves to host dogs at his house. Feel free to call or text or email anytime! I'm in college all remote and have plenty time on my hands for walks and bathroom breaks or even just play time in my large fenced in yard. I have a fenced in large yard and a very friendly dog. I can crate your dog if you desire. I walk my dog twice a day and would like more company on walks.

“Judy did an excellent job and the boys slept like babies the rest of the day. A sure sign they had fun and did a lot of playing.”

“Shayna is so great! My dog immediately loved her, I would absolutely ask her to watch my dog again!”

About: Your Dog or Cat no matter what age or disability will get the safest, COMFORTABLE, CARE. Experienced with all kinds of dogs and cats. Your pet will be in a wonderful environment with a lot of attention *Dog and Cat Owners: I will consider both at 1 time will always have access to your pet during the day and night. I do prefer them to be inside if acceptable and trained. they will be kept in their own cool clean new bedroom. Much better than a boarding service. located in quiet cul-de-sac near the airport, and have a decent size back yard, with covered patio and fan. Why Rover : I love pets. A friend does it, and speaks very highly of the experience, so I have been wanting to do this for a while now. I have a great home for pets and enjoy spending time with them.

“Julia was able to help me with a last minute request for daycare while I was at work. She was so good to my Finley and very professional and accommodating. I would absolutely use Julia again for dog sitting.”

Nicole E.
