About: Hi, I’m Elena! I’m passionate about making sure cats and dogs feel happy, safe, and loved while their families are away. I’ve cared for everything from playful kittens to wise senior cats, including shy or formerly feral kitties who need extra patience. I’ve even managed households with four cats at once, balancing different feeding schedules, litter box routines, and social needs. For dogs, I make walks fun adventures, ensure they always have fresh water, and give them plenty of playtime and cuddles. I’m also comfortable giving oral medication when needed. I’m a firm believer in following each pet parent’s instructions to the letter, while also giving lots of affection and attention so your pets feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend. Whether it’s a romp around the block or cozy window‑watching with the cats, I love helping pets feel right at home. I’m a student at Colorado School of Mines, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during the day to spend with your pets. Caring for them is one of my favorite parts of the week! I love taking dogs on walks or hikes to get their energy out and give them a chance to explore. I love cats and make sure they get plenty of playtime and cuddles too, so they never feel lonely. Whether it’s check‑ins, house sitting, day care, or dog walks while you’re at work or on vacation, I make sure every pet gets the exercise, love, and attention they deserve when you trust them with me. I treat every pet like family! While I’m with them, we play, cuddle, and I make sure they’ve got food, water, and plenty of love. When I leave, I double‑check that all cats are inside, dogs aren’t left alone outdoors, and doors are locked so everyone’s safe and cozy.

“If you're looking for a wonderful person and dog lover to watch your fur baby I would definitely recommend Kelly. She sat up a meet and greet the day before to see how Marley would be. Marley loved Kelly and even gave Kelly her ball to play. All went well so Kelly came over to watch Marley. Kelly was awesome and she was so good with Marley and went above and beyond caring and comforting her during the loud fireworks. Thanks again Kelly we appreciate all you did for us and will definitely get in touch next time we are in Colorado.”


“We could not ask for a better person to watch our pups! Christina watched our two massive Great Pyrenees for a second time while we were away for a wedding. We felt so confident and completely at ease knowing that they were in great hands. Christina updated us throughout the day and sent the cutest photos. It is so clear that she really loves animals and they just means the world to us!! She also is extremely thoughtful about our home and leaves it in beautiful condition for us to return to. Thank you SO much!!”


“Kristyn took great care of our dog and house! Our dog got all the snuggles, walks, and treats he needed while we were gone. We’d definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter!”


“Katie is such a great dogsitter! She sent so many pictures and updates throughout the weekend and the dogs were happy and tired when returned. They got plenty of walks and exercise while I was gone. I DEFINITELY will use Katie again!”


“Another amazing stay with Sara! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our senior pup Sam is well taken care of and our home is left spotless. You can really tell she cares about the pups she is watching and I appreciate her picture updates / communication oh so much! 10/10 stars!”


“Great sitter! She came to my hotel while I attended a concert. My dog was fed, walked and loved for the hours I was away. Photo updates put my mind at ease! I have discovered a new resource in Rover for my travels.”


“Keriann took amazing care of our dog and cat. She was very friendly and accommodating and took wonderful care of our dog and cat. She provided us with tons of pictures and updates which we very much appreciated. We would definitely book with Keriann again!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who basically grew up in a mini zoo - two awesome pups and a parade of cats. These days, I’m living the good life in Colorado with my pup, Ziggy Pawdust. Ziggy and I have been adventuring together for the past 5 years - hiking, cuddling, playing fetch like it's an Olympic sport, and making every walk feel like a mini vacation. Beyond Ziggy, I’ve had the joy of pet sitting for tons of friends - everything from couch-loving cats to spirited senior pups, and even dogs with special needs or big feelings (aka reactive personalities). I’ve got experience, patience, and a whole lot of love to give. I’d be honored to hang out with your furry best friend and treat them like one of my own! I'm between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible! I am hoping to spend some quality time with pets for their care during my day. I understand that opening someone's home to a pet sitter is a big deal, and with that, it requires respect for your home. As a homeowner myself, I will respect your home and will treat it like my own.
