Pet Sitting Golden Valley

“Isabella confirmed care each day. My pets were taken care of during my vacation. A few days she did arrive later than I requested but they were ok.”

“Once again Kaitlyn was amazing with our cats, Hunter and Moose! She left the most amazing over cards with plenty of notes and tons of pictures. Never once did I worry about the boys while I was gone because I knew they were getting great care!”

About: Update: We are fully booked until Dec 16th. Sorry for the limited availability for the rest of 2026. We have a massive fenced in backyard for dogs and playtime for cats will be indoors. For dogs, we're happy to give them 4 walks a day and lots of playtime and fetch in the fenced-in backyard. For cats- we have a huge bay window overlooking a bird feeder so cats can soak in the sun and spend their time watching the birdies. We do not put any fur babies in crates unless you specifically ask us to (we do not own crates so you will have to provide one). This is not our full time job nor income, we're doing this because we LOVE animals so at our home, your pet will feel like its their vacation time! They'll have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to run around and be happy and comfortable! We also do not accept more than 1 booking at a time. 2 dogs from the same family are welcome but we don't accept multiple bookings from different households at the same time. We do not want our home to feel crowded and we do not want the dogs and cats to feel overwhelmed so you can always be assured that our house will feel like a mini stress free vacation for your pets! (: We will need you to provide everything your pet will need for their stay including food bowl, water bowl, toys/treats, food and most importantly- medications if needed. For Doggy day care: if we are doing doggy day care, we will only be taking one dog at a time, or 2 dogs from the same family. We want to ensure that the pet has a fun time while away from their fav human for a few hours, and simultaneously we want to have stress free work days (: Thank you! (: We work from home full time so we are available for walks, and playtime in the fenced-in backyard. We also love dogs and cats so they're welcome to join us in our bed for all naps! We have two cats of our own but they will have no interaction with your dog/cat; when we are sitting your pets our cats will be in the basement (which is their fav place in the house anyway). If you're reaching out to us about cat sitting, please also ensure that you're willing to provide litter.

“Anne always does a great job with our two cats. She made sure our kitties have everything they needed, and even gave them extra attention/ toys/ food when visiting. Very professional and responsive. Highly recommended!”

“Jordan took great care of my cat when I was out of town for a week! I appreciate how he had sent many photos each time he dropped by my apartment to visit my cat, and he had excellent communication. I will definitely be reaching out to him again when I'm in need of a cat sitter again :)”

“Cayla was wonderful. We were in a crunch looking for care for our fur babies and she came in clutch. She was timely and loved and cared for them as we hoped. Thank you Cayla!”

About: Hi! I’m Elena. Whether your pet is an easygoing adult dog, a timid kitty, or a gentle senior who just wants a quiet place to nap, I provide calm, attentive, and high-trust care tailored to their normal routine. My animal care background runs deep: 8+ Years of Rescue Experience & Patient Care: I spent eight years volunteering with City Kitties Rescue in DC and The Cats at Longstreet. Through this work, I developed a strong understanding of animal body language, patience with shy pets, and a gentle touch for animals who need a peaceful environment to feel comfortable. Gentle Senior & Easygoing Routine Care: I love spending time with adult and senior pets who enjoy a relaxed pace, predictable routines, lots of affection, or simply lounging on the couch. I grew up with a Peekapoo and trained with the Animal Humane Society on gentle dog handling techniques. Pro Communication & Great Photos: You’ll receive clear, real-time updates and high-quality progress photos during every stay so you always have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and relaxed. Broad Animal Experience: While I focus on adult cats and dogs on Rover, I’ve personally cared for a wide variety of animals throughout my life—from hedgehogs, rabbits, and pocket pets to reptiles (including live feeding). I maintain a peaceful, welcoming environment and treat every pet like family. I’d love to meet you and your companion! My schedule is very flexible. I work part-time and remotely, which means I am home for the majority of the day and can give your pet plenty of individual attention, frequent potty breaks, and low-stress companionship. Because I work from my peaceful home environment, I can easily stick to your pet’s normal daily rhythm—whether that’s a midday backyard break, regular feeding times, or just having a cozy lap available while I work. Whether caring for pets in my own home or visiting yours, safety, comfort, and respect for routine are my top priorities. In My Home (Boarding): I use a low-stress, step-by-step transition process for feline guests. Just like my rescue fosters, visiting cats start out in a cozy, dedicated space (like a private room) with all their essentials until they feel confident enough to explore the rest of the house at their own pace. For dogs, I maintain a secure, calm environment and ensure my backyard is fully supervised during outdoor breaks. In Your Home (Drop-Ins): I follow your exact instructions to keep your pet’s routine seamless. My visits typically begin with fresh food, water, and litter/potty care. Once their primary needs are met, I spend the remaining time providing gentle affection, low-key play, or simply quiet companionship—always ensuring your home is kept secure and key logistics are handled with complete accountability.

About: Dogs: I have grown up with German Shepherds my entire life. I currently own an elderly one and understand the difficulties of having an elderly dog. But also because I lived with them I learned to handle and read the body language of dogs. I have had a few smaller dogs in my life also so no worries if you own a smaller family member(s) because I'm comfortable with all sizes. (I have also been training dogs for 3+ years and wish to offer that soon!) Cats: My first job as a kid was to watch our kind neighbors cat. Meaning I fed, played and cleaned the litter box. I have also grown up around cats and I own 2 myself Other Animal Family Members: I also have owned many different reptiles, birds and small animals like leopard geckos, snakes, hamsters, guinea pigs, cockatiels and a few others. (So please feel free to reach out if you need a visit for these family members as well). I currently have afternoon times available! I am free from Thursday - Sunday from 11am to 10pm. I am currently in school so I have a very flexible schedule during that time to stop by and care for your family member(s). Your dog or cat is a family member. I will care for them just as you would. If you feel I have not met this, I wish for feedback on how I can do better. I am very communicative if you have any concerns or need updates as the visit goes on please feel free to notify me. If I am concerned about your family member(s) I will openly reach out to make sure you know right away and we can figure out what needs to happen next. My goal is to make you the owner feel comfortable with leaving your family member(s) with me and also have your family member(s) be comfortable with me. Thank you for considering me!

“Peggy went above and beyond on taking care of my new 2 month old puppy, Coco. Coco is very needy and needs extra attentionand Peggy was able to use her experience as a dog owner to help with Coco. She also was willing to go and pick up the keys from work which I appreciated a lot as I live in an apartment. I will definitely recommend her! She’s super nice!”

“Kristen is INCREDIBLE with both our cat and dog! It’s rare to find a sitter that works so well with both so we always feel so lucky when we’re able to book Kristen as our sitter.”

Maria D.

“Ellen was very responsive, and agreed to check in on our kitties even without much advance knowledge for a holiday weekend. She made a separate trip to run through where the litter boxes and water bowls and treats were so that she was prepared when she was stopping by. We really appreciated her thoroughness!”

Dana S.

“Elizabeth is great! She’s so friendly and was excellent with our 5 month old puppy. She’s prompt, respectful, and very dedicated to what she does. Highly recommend her for your next Rover.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been a dedicated dog owner for over 8 years. For the past 3 years, I’ve also fostered pups, giving me experience with a wide range of temperaments and styles. I’m comfortable with everything from high energy personalities to shy or anxious dogs. I’m comfortable with senior dogs (my last pup was 18!), puppies and everything in between. At this time, I’m focusing on small and medium sized dogs so they will be the best match for my own dog and I can provide the best care possible. I work full time from home and am available to board in my house anytime for most lengths of time. Lots of time to play with your pup! Right now, I’m open to hosting small and medium pups—as they are the best matches for my own dog. My dog, Elliot, loves to go for walks (weather permitting) and we’d love for your pup to tag along! If the weather is bad, my yard is perfect for zoomies, ball/toy chasing, neighbor watching and basking in the sun. I have my own small pup who is energetic and loves to play, but isn’t pushy. I work from home so we are together all the time! We walk often—in the morning, at lunch and in evenings. I have a fenced in yard for potty breaks with lots of toys and enrichment. I am home most of the time, but would contain (kennel or pen if needed) when I leave and I’m also open to pups that aren’t kenneled but safe to leave out (I’d put away my own dog).

“Maia took wonderful care of our cat, Princess Leia, while we were out of town for four days. She was an excellent communicator, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that everything was going smoothly. When we returned home, both our house and our cat were clearly well cared for. Princess Leia was happy to see us, but she also seemed calm, relaxed, and content, which is always the best sign that she's been in good hands. Maia's drop-in visits gave us confidence that our cat was getting the attention and care she needed while we were away. We would absolutely trust Maia with our home and pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.”

“What a great gal! Willie just loved her and she was always on schedule.”

About: Ever since I was a kid, I begged my parents for a dog every day of my life. I never got one as a kid, but I have sure made up for it since! I got involved with Grey Face Rescue and have been fostering dogs for the last 5 years. I am very proud to have gotten seven foster dogs to their forever homes. If it was up to me, I would have many dogs of my own, but I have a crazy work schedule in the summer, which would not allow me to care for a dog. In the fall, winter, and spring I love to bring animals into my home. During these months, I work from home and I am able to give many walks and lots of attention! My fosters typically get two 30 minute walks a day, which is something I also really enjoy. If your dog comes to stay with me, they would get to meet my child who loves dogs just as much as I do, and my cat who pretty much stays clear of any dog that is brought into the home. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I work from home and have constant availability to meet any dog’s schedule. I love providing them with multiple daily walks and any sort of engagement they need. There are no off-limits areas for your dog in my home. All of our furniture is open to pets. We are very well-versed in keeping food off the counter and ensuring that is a safe environment for your dog. I even have multiple size dog beds from my years of fostering as well as toys, bowls and all the equipment so they can travel lightly!

“Reagan is honestly the greatest. Prompt, a good communicator, extremely kind, and very accommodating are just some of the things I love about her. When she stayed overnight in my home she left it cleaner than I did! I have many pets and she followed all directions perfectly. Cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you for everything, Reagan ♥️ hope to see you soon!”

About: Accepting daycare and drop-in visits! All dogs should be fully house trained if daycare is required. We are not able to accept potty pad trained dogs in our home. Care of dogs has been with me since birth. There has not been a single year in which I did not own at least one dog. My wife and I both work full time from home and have one dog of our own. Loving and caring for dogs is built in second nature for us. Our entire daily routine and schedule revolves around making sure they go out whenever they need and always get ample time running, playing, and of course, resting! We have ~8,000 sq. ft. of fenced in backyard. Our yard is well maintained and treated for all pests. We have ~2,500 sq. ft. inside our home that will be available at all times for dogs to run, play, rest, and even watch a movie on our projector screen downstairs. The fence is vinyl and 6 ft tall for the majority and only the gates are 4ft chain link. We can offer crates, blankets, dog beds, and fans to keep the large dogs cooler if needed. We charge $50 per daycare stay...Here's why: - Extremely flexible and no-nonsense pickup and drop off scheduling. (no extra charges for early or late pickup/arrival) - 1 daycare stay is considered up to 12 hours -At our house your dogs might as well be royalty. They can go outside all day long and sleep anywhere they like and it will never cost you more. -We DO NOT watch more than 2 dogs at a time (for our safety, your dogs safety) - No kennels (unless this is their routine) - No cement walls - No anxiety from 50 other dogs barking -We will let them have an entire bed or a couch downstairs, or set up a kennel for them if they prefer to sleep enclosed. -We are rarely away at any point and the dogs have constant attention with friends to play with -We will occasionally walk your dog without distance limits or up-charges if we decide to go out -We will sit and eat with your dogs and even hand-feed them if they are nervous -We will send you photos and videos... more than you probably want -You can bring an entire car of equipment and toys for your dogs and we don't care, we will be standing there at the door ready to help. - We believe we provide an astronomically better environment than any local daycare place ever could, while also placing our home in the crosshairs of pet damage and accidents every day - This is our home, where we live and work full-time. Dogs can cause extensive damage and unexpected repairs and maintenance, especially if dealing with separation anxiety. - We do not charge more for holidays - We do not keep 100% of what is charged (Rover receives 20%) We are both home full-time and rarely leave for anything longer than 2 hours. Our life is simply built around our dogs and their needs. When we watch other dogs we simply pretend like they are our own and adapt the same free and open-ended schedule to them! We have a large fenced in yard (8,000 sq ft) and allow pets on all furniture, and access to roam the entire house. If there is ever a time when two dogs may not bond well, we simply utilize 1 of our 4 levels to separate them for brief periods or for their entire stay.
