About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.

About: I grew up on a farm in Colorado and have spent my whole life caring for my own and other people’s animals. I have experience with challenging behaviors, medication administration, senior pets, and anxious pet care. With 16 years of hands-on animal and farm experience, you can trust my knowledge, reliability, and communication. I live nomadically and work online, so my schedule is flexible and I’m able to give pets lots of time, attention, and consistency while they’re in my care. I know every animal is different, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know their personalities, routines, and comfort levels so they feel safe and settled while you’re away. I work online and live a flexible lifestyle, so I’m able to be very present with the pets in my care. My schedule allows for plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and consistency throughout the day. I’m very attentive to animals, their behavior, and their environment. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing at home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and making sure pets feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have
About: I’ve had dog & cat experience my whole life and have enjoyed helping neighbors and family friends to walk and take care of their little furry family members.

I’m currently enrolled in my senior year at CMU, studying forensic psychology. With all of my classes being in the mornings, I have plenty of time to take care of your sweet pets! I am available for any sort of care on weekdays after 1 and all day on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. My house is full with a dog and two kitties so I am unable to provide any boarding services at the moment but I am fully willing to commute and take care of your pets at your home!

Fruita pet parents share their Rover experiences
We left our two dogs for the first time ever! Chalee was absolutely wonderful and we could not be more happy that she was our sitter. We found Rover last minute and Chalee was our answer to a prayer, not kidding! Our dogs were happy and well cared for. We will definately be asking for Chalee again.
Elle stepped in last minute to watch our house and pets for a week, and everything went smoothly. The dogs were happy and healthy when we returned, and our home was well cared for. Elle was kind and quick to communicate throughout. We’d definitely recommend her and would happily work with her again.
