“Riley has made our Rover experience extremely effortless and stress-free. From the initial meet and greet to the recurrent walks, we have felt 100% comfortable with Riley. She is trustworthy, dependable , and easy to work with. Her experience with animals is evident. Would recommend to anyone in search of pet care!! ☺️”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and have done a lot of overnight sitting/dog walking. I’m also super active so if pets need some extra exercise, that’s great. I’m super reliable, and a division 1 student-athlete so I have great time management. I’m home from Duke for the summer, so I’m almost completely flexible to fit in any pet care into your schedule! Happy to come by any time and go for a long walk, run, or whatever you need. I’m very comfortable with taking care of pets in the comfort of your home. I understand that different homes have different rules, and am very respectful of the different needs of each home. My main goals are to keep BOTH you and your pet happy.
“Thank you, Lila for taking such good care of Pace ! It made it easier to be away knowing someone was caring for him the same way I would. Consistently sending me pictures and a report each time you visited was a bonus and very much appreciated !”
“Sebastian was fantastic with my boy!! Sanders absolutely loves him, and comes home from every walk happy and tired. I had never had to use a dog walker before but Sebastian made me feel completely comfortable and confident he was in good hands. Sanders and I will happily request his help for future walks anytime!”
“Brett is fantastic! He is currently walking my dog multiple times a week (I broke my ankle), and I will be continuing to use Brett until I heal. I have a large, anxious dog (60lbs) who had only ever been walked by me. Brett was great with Boo from the first. Boo (being Boo) was uncertain and anxious the first meeting but by the time he came back from the first walk Boo adored Brett, and now Boo gets sooo excited when Brett comes over and can’t wait to go on walks with him. Boo also has anxiety over thresholds (doorways , etc.) - Brett is calm and kind and is helping Boo learn to deal with things like this. It is a huge relief not only to find a reliable dog walker but also one who genuinely cares about my dog. I would highly recommend Brett to anyone wanting a trustworthy and just wonderful dog walker.”
“Vicenza, has been so great with my dog Marley! It takes Marley a long time to warm up to people and to trust them…and Vicenza has managed to do gain her trust in a short period of time.”
“Jennifer is wonderful! Clearly loves dogs, responsible, communicative and an incredible help. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her and having her walk our dogs regularly. She’s good at creating boundaries with the dogs when it comes to jumping up in excitement, etc. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a top notch dog walker!”
“Sarah does an amazing job with walking my dogs during the day while I am working! She is on time, reliable, sweet to the dogs, and communicates well! You will not be disappointed with Sarah! Highly recommend!”
“Tara was so awesome and caring!! she really made sure me and my pup felt safe and comfortable. She treated my pup with sooo much love ❤️ I’ll absolutely be requesting her again”
“If you want the best dog walker, don't look any further. Dan is by far the best dog walker. He is kind to Bella, provides the best care, and was willing to add me to his schedule during the holiday season when I got sick.”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember. Dogs have been part of my life since I was seven years old, and over the years I've rescued animals, volunteered with pet organizations, and fostered Boston Terriers and Havanese dogs rescued from puppy mills. During the past year and a half, I've cared for dogs, cats, and even chickens through TrustedHousesitters across Colorado, Montana, Wisconsin, and Indiana. I've been entrusted with everything from weekend stays to six-month house sits, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal's unique personality, routines, and quirks. My goal is to provide pets with a calm, loving, and safe experience while their families are away. Whether we're going for walks, playing, cuddling, or simply keeping each other company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also love sending photos and updates so you can feel connected to your furry family members while you're away. I recently settled in Colorado and am excited to make caring for animals my primary focus. In addition to pet care, I also have extensive experience with fascia and bodywork techniques for animals, which has deepened my appreciation for supporting their comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. Pet care is currently one of my main priorities and something I truly enjoy. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around the needs of the pets in my care. Whether that means morning walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering medications, or simply providing companionship, I enjoy being present and attentive throughout the day. I work independently and spend a lot of time outdoors, so I especially enjoy incorporating walks, hikes, and quality one-on-one time with dogs into my daily routine. I also appreciate the quieter companionship of cats and enjoy creating a calm, comfortable environment where they can feel safe and cared for while their families are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I take time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, favorite activities, sleeping habits, and any special instructions so they can feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own and strive to leave it exactly as I found it. I pay close attention to safety during walks, outings, and playtime, and I keep pet parents updated with regular photos and messages for added peace of mind. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and sensitive, or a senior needing extra attention, I adapt my care to their individual personality and needs.
“Chelsea is very knowledgeable about dogs, and shared her knowledge on her 1st walk with Zingo. She is also open to suggestions and helps to keep his training consistant.”
“Michelle was amazing walking/hanging out with our two dogs at the last minute. Super communicative and professional and is a real-deal animal lover, really gets how much we love our fur babies. Will rebook.”
About: Every since I was a little girl I’ve craved interaction with all different kinds of animals. I’ve done volunteer work at the animal shelter, house sat for friends and family and have even owned my fair share of dogs. I am not able to get a dog right now due to my busy schedule, so I would love to be there for those looking for some extra help! More than willing to send you pictures and updates as I take care of your loved one! Our apartment has a little puppy park out back and beautiful trails around it. Our apartment is very welcoming to animals and I’m sure your pup would get love from the whole building! Please consider me when looking for a caretaker ♥️
“Curtis was great! He arrived a few minutes early and really cared for Kevin and his walk. He sent several pictures and provided great feedback about Kevin’s walk and behavior!”
About: With over 10 years of dog/cat sitting experience, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care for every pet. I value building long-term relationships with the families I work with and pride myself on being flexible, dependable, and communicative. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away!! I’m currently a student at CU Boulder, So I have plenty of time on my hands! I’m very flexible and can make almost anything work! I have a large backyard and 2 friendly dogs who love to play, as well as an extra dog crate. I’m also comfortable staying at your home so your animals can feel at ease!!

We have been working with Riley for quite a while now, and she continues to consistently deliver the best care for our pupper. She is an excellent communicator, great with our dog, and is always accommodating/flexible. We wouldn’t trust our pup with anyone else more! ☺️
I debated about leaving this review because I honestly wanted to keep Jordan to myself buuuuuut..... that would be unfair to Jordan so, here it is. Our girl Nova is a pit bull, and if you have one, you know. She's strong, she's energetic, and she does NOT warm up to just anyone. We had booked Jordan for a two-week house sit and he came by for a meet and greet beforehand. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous — Nova can be picky. But she took to him right away. Like, immediately. My husband and I both looked at each other like, okay, this is our guy. Then life happened. We had a family emergency and had to cancel on Jordan last minute. He was so understanding about it, no awkwardness, no attitude, just kindness. That really stuck with me. And THEN — still in the middle of everything — Nova ended up alone at home longer than we'd planned. I reached out to Jordan basically in a panic and he showed up for her without hesitation. Knowing she was in good hands while we were dealing with so much was genuinely such a relief. We travel a lot and finding someone I actually trust with Nova is hard. Jordan is our first call from here on out. If you have a big, strong, stubborn dog and need someone who gets it — he's your person.
Our dog Mango had a blast with Thomas and his dog, Brady (who is a complete sweetheart by the way!). Thomas took great care to make sure the dogs got along and was extremely communicative throughout. We look forward to the next time Mango and Brady get to walk together!
Larisa did a great job in walking our dog Luca, a 65-pound English Shepherd. I felt confident going out of town for a week and leaving him in her hands. I knew her experience in dog training would keep him safe. Besides that, he loved her and could wait to take his walks!
Highly recommend! Communication was clear and reliable from start to finish, which gave me peace of mind. When I returned, my dogs were happy and relaxed. I really appreciate the effort he put into giving them a good, long walk. If you’re looking for someone dependable who truly cares about your pets’ exercise and well-being, this is your person!
