About: I trained my dog, Brady, to be off-leash and a great friend. I can help puppies with simple training while on leash or assist your older dogs with patient sniff walks. I work full time from home, but want to help neighbors who cannot always be home. I am available to assist in the afternoon before you come home from work or later in the evening if you decide to have dinner later than expected. I am respectful of your rules and will always be on time. Your pets needs are my concern. I take the time to get to know each dog’s unique personality and pace, making sure they feel safe, seen, and relaxed on every walk. With gentle handling, consistent routines, and plenty of praise, I build trust through calm energy and attentive care, just like you would.
About: We’re a family of four who loves caring for dogs. We have 2.5 acres, a fenced in yard, and give lots of TLC. Walks around the neighborhood and on trails too. My husband and I work from home and love going on walks. When the kids are home from school they dote on the animals a lot too. In the house, your dog is welcome to go where they please & feel most comfortable…which is often right by us. Feel free to bring their own dog bed or any blankets that remind them of home. We board no more than 2 dogs at once, and often it’s just one. The house is still a home. And your best buddy welcome anytime!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats all my life with my family, and happily care for them still. I’ve even volunteered at the Boulder Humane Society to provide extra care to those who need it most in my community. I’m a recent graduate on summer break with another job where my availability varies. I start up school in the fall and will have weekends and some time after classes to care for your pets! I’ve always had dogs on the bigger side and am not scared to crate a dog if needed. I am capable of handling all sizes of dogs and cats and always aim to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them!
“Our second time booking with Becky and she feels like family already. I am so comforted knowing she is taking amazing care of our two cats. She is extremely attentive and our kitties love her!”
“Our two cats were comfortable with Julia when they first met her (very unusual behavior). Julia is well acquainted with cat quirks and spent time on the floor getting to know them. She reliably showed up each day she was scheduled and posted pictures of the cats showing how happy they were to see her. We were very comfortable leaving our cats in her care and will definitely book Julia again when we travel.”
About: Hi, I am Tigran. I started and run a dog rescue in Colorado called Havok's Wolfpack. I help dogs in high kill shelters of neighboring states find great new homes in Colorado. I am currently living in the South East park Boulder. I regularly host foster dogs so my home isn't a dog-free environment when I'm not sitting through Rover. All of my foster dogs are friendly. I run my organisation remotely, so I have ultimate flexibility for dog care, walks and attention. Currently fully available. Will be able to respond within an hour. I explore new hikes and dog walks multiple times a day. Your pup will be extremely happy every time I show up. I travel to clients homes and have no issues handling the biggest and most energetic dogs. Happy to accommodate owners requests when it comes to handling dogs.
“Jessica took great care of our two cats. One is usually very shy, but came out and visited with her while she was caring for them—which is pretty rare! We will definitely use her services again! Thanks, Jessica!”
“Heather helped with my senior dog, making sure he was medicated while I was away. She was great about making visits on time and updating me on the status of the dogs. Excellent work.”
About: I’ve been privileged to have dogs be apart of my entire life. From having them as pets, caring for others, and volunteering for multiple shelters over the years, dogs have been a priority for me. I have deep respect for routines and instructions, can work with new born to seniors (who are just babies really), and will give them the love and attention they deserve. I am currently working on aspects of my education and have a lot of time to dedicate to pet care. I have minimal travel this Summer, so would be interested on a one time walk to a long term sit, and everything in between. I have reliable transportation and I’m allergic to being late. Communication and following instructions is top priority for me, so you will never wonder how your wonderful companion is doing. When caring for pets in your home my priorities include respecting your property, your instructions, and your animals needs. Schedules are followed to a T and communication including updates and pictures if wanted!
About: I got my first pet when I was 5 years old, and since, I’ve had more pets than I can count on both hands. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and rabbits, and multiple pets at once is no issue for me. I’ve been working with pets since I was 12 years old and have extensive experience in house sitting, pet drop ins, and dog walking. I’m also studying animals in college, and hope to pursue a career in animal science. I love animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, and I hope to help with your pet! I currently work part time, so I’m available most hours of the day on weekdays and weekends. When you book with me your pet will be my priority during the times we agree on, and I’ll make sure I give my full time and effort so when you return they’re just as happy and loved as you left them. I have experience with animals who need to be crated, fed complex diets, aren’t potty trained, and need extra love and attention, and it will be no problem for me to accommodate pets with extra needs. Any instructions given to me will be followed exactly as written, and your pet and home will be safe with me!
“Delane took great care of Chewy! We sent through a super last minute request for Christmas week and she was very gracious and communicative throughout the whole process 🙌”
About: I’ve had dogs for 15 years, and loved, trained, and raised them from puppy age until the very end. I’ve taken care of friends and family dogs for seven years. I have experience in senior dog care and know how important it is to go at their pace, on their time. I’ll only take on pets on my days off, which means they will get my undivided attention. Plenty of bathroom breaks, walks, and love. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my apartment, so just let me know if those aren’t your rules. I live in an apartment with a balcony. There’s plenty of open space in the surrounding area and we’ll go on lots of adventures, as long as it suits your pup! I will always keep your dog on a leash unless you tell me otherwise.

Curtis is amazing, he communicates well and as often as the situation may demand. H e figures out what to do without bothering , but keeps you informed as to what is going on. Curtis cleaned up our pups's vomit the other night, and told me where it occurred so I could give the floor extra attention. Our pup is currently under the care of our vet. Cutis performed some pre-approved grooming on Winnie. Curtis is always up-beat and pleased to help.
This is the 2nd time I have used Emily to watch my guys while I have been away for an extended period of time and just like the first it was great. My guys were very happy and comfortable with her, which means a lot to me. She sent a TON of pictures and videos while I was away of them which really was appreciated so I could see how they were doing. She is my first choice for pet sitting when I need it.
Danielle was great with Rumi! She was very responsive and spent quality time during our meet and greet, which I really appreciated. Rumi is a senior dog, and Danielle was very caring and attentive to his needs. She was also flexible with timing, which made everything easy. I felt very comfortable having her care for Rumi and would absolutely book with her again.
Christina is the best Petsitter ever! She has an incredible love of animals and it shows in how quickly they bond with her, and how reluctant they are to say bye. She is well-versed in dog training and has been helping us with puppy breaks and training while we’re at work. Truly talented, reliable, communicative, and a joy to have as a Petsitter and pet advisor to us.
