About: I've cared for my own sweet dog for the last 10 years, and before that our family owned dogs throughout my childhood. I also have experience caring for other people's dogs, mostly overnight care. I currently have an extremely flexible schedule, and can make most days/times work. I also live in the Gunbarrel area, so can easily access Boulder/Niwot/Gunbarrel. I prioritize safety through secure leash handling, checking gates/doors are properly closed, and maintaining constant supervision during walks. I build trust by following your pet's specific routine, providing regular updates with photos, and respecting your home and belongings. For environmental care, I always clean up after your dog, stay on designated walking routes, and ensure your pet gets fresh water before and after walks. I'm attentive to weather conditions and will adjust walk duration accordingly. Your peace of mind is my priority and I treat every pup as if they were my own! I can stay within your own neighborhood if you're more comfortable with that, or I can take your dog in my own neighborhood (behind King Soopers off Lookout Rd).

About: lifelong dog mom. Experience in training, running, caring for all size dogs. Specialize in avoiding conflict with other dogs in the wild. Guaranteed safe and fun excursions. Yes i will run with your dog if they need some extra exercise. I have a flexible schedule, therefore can be available to relieve and/or exercise your dog while you're away. Specialize in early morning and evening walks/runs, but can be available when you need me. I have a fully fenced in yard and keep a baby gate separating house levels. My dog, Hondo, lives with me. He is 9 and a sweet 50# lab. He literally gets along with all dogs.

“Samantha was amazing with my cat, Nori! She dropped in twice a day and always kept me updated with entertaining photos and detailed notes. If I ever had questions, she always responded immediately and was flexible to help me. Nori warmed up to Samantha quickly, and I could tell she was well cared for. She is very knowledgeable and comfortable with cats. I highly recommend Samantha as a reliable and thoughtful sitter with a kind spot for all animals!”


About: I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years, watching them for friends and family as well as taking great care of my own family fur babies. I have a park nearby in a safe neighborhood so your fur baby will get lots of exercise. I am also available to watch them in your home if you prefer. I am currently working part time from home so I am conveniently available days, nights, weekends or whatever is needed to fit your busy schedule. I have a fenced small yard, plenty of areas to walk and play close by, and my house is clean, childproof and safe for pets.

“Elizabeth did an amazing job with our dogs! She did a house drop in and sent lots of adorable pictures playing with them. We will definitely book her again!”


About: With three summers of experience as a veterinary technician, I’ve had the privilege of working hands-on with animals of all kinds—puppies, senior pets, and everything in between. From administering medications to assisting in procedures, I’ve cared for animals at every stage of health and training. I’m currently studying to become a veterinarian at the University of Wyoming, where I also compete as a student-athlete on the track and field team. My life revolves around animal care, and I bring that same dedication, focus, and passion to every pet I look after. Whether your pet needs patience, playtime, or specialized care, I’m here to help in any way I can. I’m currently home for the summer from college, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to provide reliable, consistent care. I'm looking to earn some extra money doing something I genuinely enjoy—spending time with animals. Whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or extended stays, I’m available whenever needed and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs. Whether I’m taking care of pets in my home or yours, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick closely to their usual routine. Whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or giving medications. In your home, I do my best to keep things tidy and calm so your pet feels right at ease in their familiar space. If your pet stays with me, they’ll have a cozy, pet-friendly environment with lots of attention and care. With my vet tech background, I’m confident handling pets of all ages and health needs, and I always keep a close eye on their behavior and well-being. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they get the love and care they deserve.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life! Growing up with both dogs and cats gave me a deep love and understanding of their unique needs and personalities. From daily walks and feeding routines to playtime and cuddles, I’ve always taken an active role in caring for pets. A few years ago, I adopted a cat of my own from the humane society, and she’s been living a happy (and very pampered!) life ever since. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in good hands, and I’ll care for yours with the same attention and love I give my own. Im currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pet; weather that be lots of play time, long walks, or endless pets! There's a fenced dog park in my apartment complex for play time and lots of nearby trails for walks! I have multiple scratching posts and tons of toys to enrich your cat! I also have a decent sized space for them to roam around in!

“Emitt took wonderful care of our dog! We came back to a happy tail wagging furball! Our dog is high energy and muscle dense plus allergic to most proteins. Emitt was completely comfortable with our dog and followed all the instructions we left without a hitch (and then some!). We are so grateful for the care they gave our pup and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter. :D”

About: Hi! My name is Shannon and I’m a PhD student at the University of Colorado, which gives me a lot of schedule flexibility for walks and pop-in visits. Im available especially a most of mornings and early afternoons. I’m a lifelong dog lover of all shapes and sizes. I currently have a Bernese Mountain Dog named Stanley who is a big, playful teddy bear and would love to be best friends with your baby. I have experience working with reactive breeds and the most chill pups on the planet. I love puppies and senior dogs and everything in between. I also have a lot of experience administering oral meds and pups with sensitive bellies. Being a student allows me to change up my daily schedule as needed for your pup. I’m currently free most early mornings, evenings, and early afternoons. I’ll treat your pets like my own. I love to snuggle and give lots of pets and take long walks whenever possible. I want your pets to feel as comfortable as possible when you aren’t there.

About: Aside from caring for and being responsible for my now-elderly cat and six-year-old dog, I have pet-sat for my friends and family many times in the past. Juggling my sister's cat, seven dogs, and pet pig (yes, you read that all right) can be quite the handful, but I truly believe that it has been a great experience for me. I can't wait to meet your furry friends- and I hope to hear from you soon! As an eighteen-year-old taking a gap year before moving away for college, saving money and enjoying my time in my hometown are my two biggest priorities. Luckily for me, nothing checks those two boxes like spending time with animals. Aside from my part-time job, my schedule is open for you and your pets! I am committed to giving your pets the absolute best care, whether that is long walks, frequent bathroom breaks, or belly rubs and cuddles! My top priority is to make each and every one of your pets feel safe, special, and loved.

“Rebecca did drop ins for our 2 cats while we were out of town and it was over the Christmas weekend, which was so so helpful. Rebecca was extremely communicative and gave us pics, a video, and updates on their eating and behavior through the weekend. I’m an anxious pet mom and I wasn’t worried at all while Rebecca was taking care of them and I was able to enjoy our weekend away. We’ll definitely ask Rebecca to sit for us again!”


“Annie did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my two cats. Not only that, she helpfully watered my sister's plants and took my trash back in after pick up day. When I came home, my cats seemed well fed and happy. Annie was so sweet in calming my worries about leaving my cats alone. She assured me all would be well, which helped me enjoy my time away without stressing that my cats would not be okay. I will ABSOLUTELY use Annie as a sitter the next time I need one. HIGHLY recommend.”


About: I grew up taking care of golden retriever puppies and am comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities. Friendly dogs and cats are welcome! I am very very flexible. I can do a drop-in visit, take your pet for a walk, or accommodate a longer stay. Please reach out! I am available for lots of play time and frequent check-ins. I know how to keep pets safe in the home and out on walks.

Gunbarrel pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mary is thoroughly and goes the extra step!! Our cat seems content when we come home. Highly recommend!

SO SO grateful for Samantha's support - especially less than a day before my travel before my previous sitter wasn't able to support~ Samantha was diligent, kind, caring, punctual, gentle with the kitties, highly communicative! Her calming presence was SO needed - especially while scrambling for last minute cat care with a cat friend who needed oral meds (not an easy task!) She asked thoughtful questions & took notes during our meet & greet - all around a stellar gal and cat friend - couldn't have asked for a better sitter let alone one who managed to be available last minute! Can't recommend enough <3 <3

Kelsey kicks so much ass. I felt like my pet was extremely well taken care of and appreciated the communication that was made to keep schedules of care. Will definitely be seeking thier services again~

Pamela S. communicated thoroughly and often, I felt very comfortable with her in my home and with my pup despite having never met her. Highly recommend!

Lauren was awesome! She took great care of my cat and was very responsive to any questions I had while I was away. I would highly recommend her!

Our cats were well taken care of and house was as tidy as we left it. We didn't have good cell reception but appreciated seeing the checkins when we did eventually get reception. Thank you Mary.

Love, love, loved having Abigail come to take care of our Bella. And I loved the daily pic and card info too. We will definitely have Abigail take care of Bella again.

Michelle was so awesome! We needed pet care at the last minute and she was flexible and reliable with our needs. She even took over plant care when my friend could no longer do it! She truly cared about the wellbeing of my cat Finch! From unexpected escape artist tactics that required a careful examination for injuries and extra cleanup, to daily walks on a leash around the neighborhood, I felt confident that I could trust Michelle to care for Finch. I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone needing pet care! I will definitely book with her again in the future.
