“Palmer followed all the instructions perfectly and was very attentive to all our pets’ needs. An emergency situation came up and she handled it extremely well. She communicated with us immediately about everything, stayed until it was clear that the situation was under control, and checked in the next morning. Our pets loved Palmer.”


“Victoria was amazing. Went above and beyond. Took great care of my puppy🙏”


“Emma is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She was totally reliable, sent me great updates (including about how much my picky eater ate at each meal), sent loads of pictures every day, and most importantly took perfect care of my dogs. I couldn't dream of a better pet sitter! Hire Emma and put your mind at ease!”

“Brenda is so reliable and caring - she is a wonderful petsitter! She keeps them happy and healthy, and even took the time to bond with our bearded dragon. She is also super helpful with caring for our home - bringing mail and packages in, putting the trash cans out on trash day, and looking after whatever needs doing. Highly recommended.”


“Zoe and Ava were amazing with my cat, Buddy! They sent detailed updates and lots of photos. They are also very responsive. Will definitely use them again!!”


About: I have over 10 years of personal experience caring for my own cat, which has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding animals’ individual personalities. In addition to feline care, I’ve also looked after guinea pigs during spring break, ensuring they had a clean habitat, fresh veggies, and plenty of gentle attention. I’ve cared for dogs belonging to family friends, helping with feeding, walks, and playtime, always making sure they felt safe and loved while their owners were away. I’ve also had the opportunity to watch over a variety of pets for a few hours at a time, adapting quickly to their needs and routines. No matter the species, I approach every pet with kindness, respect, and a genuine love for animals. I’m currently enrolled in online college courses, which gives me the flexibility to create a balanced and adaptable schedule. Since my classes are self-paced and remote, I’m available for pet care throughout the week—mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Typical Daily Routine: • Morning (8am–11am): Morning walks, feedings, litter box cleanings, or drop-in visits • Midday (11am–3pm): Pet sitting, extended playtime, companionship, or check-ins (can adjust as needed) • Afternoon/Evening (3pm–8pm): Walks, dinner feeding, medication (if needed), or overnight care setups • Night (8pm onward): Available for overnight care, evening check-ins, or late-night drop-ins (on request) Weekly Flexibility: I’m available 7 days a week and can adjust my schedule based on your pet’s needs—whether it’s a one-time drop-in, recurring walks, weekend sitting, or extended stays. My online classes allow me to stay local and dependable all summer long. Your pet’s comfort, routine, and safety always come first. I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care that fits smoothly into both of our routines. Why You Can Trust Me with Your Pet As a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for my own cat, as well as looking after dogs, guinea pigs, and a variety of other pets, I understand how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your furry family member. Whether I’m welcoming pets into my home or caring for them in yours, I make safety, comfort, and reliability my top priorities. In Your Home: When I pet sit in your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I keep things tidy, stick to feeding and walk schedules, and ensure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment. I also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Dog Walking: For dog walks, I always use secure leashes and harnesses and choose safe walking routes based on your dog’s size, energy level, and comfort. I take the time to build trust with each dog, making sure every walk is not just good exercise but also a positive experience. However, I own a cat who doesn’t like strangers or strange animal that come in her home With a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals, I’m committed to giving your pet the same care and attention I’d give my own. You can trust that they’ll be safe, happy, and well cared for—whether it’s for an afternoon walk or a week-long stay.

“Michelle is an amazing cat sitter. Our furry friends totally loved her. We have already booked her for another break in May :) Thank you Michelle!!”


About: Hi there! I am a former teacher with a passion for animals. I currently have a 7 year old Tabby (Henry) & a 6 year old Shepherd mix (Josie) who live with me and my fiance, Dallas. I grew up with two dogs, Charlie Brown & Lucy, who are probably more well traveled than most humans! I have always had responsibilities to care for them, so pet care is nothing new to me. As a new WFH employee, I am available to stay in your home or work each day from your home so your fur baby is not alone! I am in the Broomfield area specifically so if you need someone, I am able to dedicate ample time to your pet. I cannot wait to meet your family's best friend! As a former teacher, I thrive on a routine! So if you need someone to come in daily to check in on your pet, I’m your girl. I can available at any time if you need someone in your home to care for your pets. My schedule is very flexible and I do not have any outstanding commitments that would prevent me from helping you out!

“Maggie cared for my two pups for a long weekend. she always left a detailed note about the visit and there were some great photos that got sent. she was responsive and even spent some extra time with the pups. we highly recommend her and will book again when we need someone!”


About: I always loved dogs, but growing up my parents would never let us get any. This led to me dog sitting and walking numerous neighborhood dogs from around 12 years old. Through the years, I've gotten a few dogs of my own and they are a handful, but I can't imagine life without them. The most recent addition, Toast the husky, has been a great lesson in the importance of consistent exercise and patient training, and this has carried through positively into our other dogs as well. I've also handled housetraining for multiple dogs now. Every day we do some sort of exercise with at least the husky. The other 2 are a little older so they don't go every single time, but the husky requires daily exercise, either to the park (which we go to regularly as it is less than 5 minutes away) or on a nice walk or hike. The happiest my dogs ever seem is when they are out on adventures with us, so I try to make that happen as much as possible. I have a 6ft high fenced-in yard. My wife and I work from home so we are always present and can let the dogs out regularly, on any schedule required. Our 3 dogs are very social with dogs outside, do great with other dogs in the house, and have been housetrained since they were puppies.

“Olinda took such wonderful care of our 2 cats while we were on a camping trip. I would definitely book her again and our cats would be happy to see her too!!”


“I adopted my cat Bardo about a month ago and this is my first time using a drop-in service. I was a little nervous on how Bardo would react since this was my first time away from him. I immediately felt more calm and relaxed upon meeting Julia. I can tell she seriously loves cats and is very responsible. Bardo is shy, but seemed to soon bond with Julia. That was so important to me as I wanted to make sure he got attention beyond his needs being met. The Rover cards with the reports and photos made me smile throughout my vacation. I was so happy they connected. When I arrived home, Bardo looked well taken care of and everything seemed great. I definitely plan to hire Julia again and I can't recommend her enough.”


“Kasey is so so great! She made time to meet our two kitties before I left town and they absolutely loved her. She also went above and beyond to take care of them while we were gone. We will definitely book her for our next trip! :)”


“Great pet sitter. Helps my dog get through the long day. Thank you!”


About: I’ve had pets all my life and enjoy sharing our house with them. Our family is very friendly- we have three kids, a 1 year old Golden Retriever and a cat who makes herself scarce when she’s had her fill of excitement. Watching other people’s pets helps curb the need to add another puppy and kitty in our home. :) I am currently a stay at home mom with two kids in school and one home with me full time. My schedule is very flexible for availability and drop off/pick up times. We have a large home with a fenced in yard and beautiful trails out our front door. We are able to feed pets separately and follow any dietary requirements.


About: About the Human: My name is Jordan, and I have extensive experience watching dogs, cats, horses, chickens, reptiles, and houses for friends and family. I've always been an animal lover and am passionate about making sure your fur babies are well taken care of! I work full-time and am remote about 98% of the time, in addition to working on a Masters degree online. About the Dog: Atlas is a 4 year old pitbull/pointer/hound mix that I rescued as a puppy. He is high energy, social, affectionate, and intelligent. He LOVES meeting new people and other dogs!! He is up to date on all of his vaccinations. Atlas likes to play tug, chase, and wrestle with his friends! I work full-time but am mainly remote so my days are flexible. My work hours are 8am-4:30pm. Our schedule can vary but my dog's internal clock usually wants to go potty around 6:30am, 9am, 12pm, 4pm, and 7pm. We usually walk over my lunch break anywhere between 1.5-3 miles. During the hotter months we wait to do our longer walk until 6pm or so when it starts cooling down. I will always treat your pet with the same love and respect I would give my own. Atlas is the love of my life; he's spoiled and well cared for, which I hope is obvious in his behavior when you meet him. Be assured your fur baby will receive the same treatment whether we are in my own home or yours! I'm not finicky about animals on the couch or in the bed, and I always have plenty of treats on hand.

“We have used Yvette several times and recommend her. She has been great with our Krpler.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, all large dogs. I’ve become the reliable dog sitter for all of my friends until I can get a dog if my own. I currently work from home and have a very flexible work schedule. It is easy for my to step away during the day to walk and take breaks. I sadly am not allowed to have pets in my rental house, but I am happy to pick up your dog and take it on long walks or runs.

About: I have had animals almost all my life until my last cat passed at the age of 22 3 years ago. Now, I am too nomadic to have my own, so I pet-sit when I can. I have experience with senior animals, and fostered cats for santa fe cats before I moved back to Colorado. I am semi-retired, and have lots of free time to spend with your fur babies. I spend a few hours a day working from home. I am happy to follow your rules and routine for your furbabies. Whether you use crates, have a specific feeding or medication schedules, i am happy to keep them on their usual routine and house rules such as pets on furniture or beds.

About: I have been walking and petsitting since I was young. Additionally, I work at DogTag and have gained a lot of experience regarding types of dogs, big to small, an understanding of different temperaments, and more. At home my family and I have several dogs of our own and also love to foster! This year, as a Cal Poly graduate, I am working 8:30-2:30 Monday through Friday. With that, I have a lot of free time that I would love to spend taking care of your pup(s)! As I have my own dogs at home, I am looking to just do walking or services within the pets home. As some of my dogs would take the opportunity to run the second the door is left open and unattended, I will engage in all precautions I practice with my dogs, with yours.
