About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and truly understand how important they are as part of the family. Growing up with dogs taught me how to care for them with patience, attention, and lots of love. Today, I have a French Bulldog named Howard, who we treat like our child—so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Due to my career as a flight attendant, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend extra time caring for your furry friend, just as they deserve! Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping your dog company, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. I am currently employed as a flight attendant, so my schedule varies month to month! I can often trade trips to change my schedule if needed. Being a flight attendant also allows me to have more days off each month than the average person does with their work schedules. I am more than happy to work with my clients to move my work schedule around to accommodate their service requests, if given enough notice. I am happy to accommodate any requested safety asks that you may have for you pup! While I do not have a fenced in yard, we have a very large property. I also have a very long yard leash if you wish to use that instead of a standard length leash. Whatever ensures that my client feels safe leaving their fur baby, I am more than happy to accommodate!

“Stephanie was great and really easy to work with!”

“Pat was flexible with some unforeseen changes and willing to help out if she could. Good communication, even crawled next to the bed where one of my cats was hiding to give her some love. My other cat wasn't as shy and Pat gave her lots of love and belly rubs.”

“I was on a work trip and when I come home my cat is always happy and calm and that’s because she was well taken care of while I was gone by Jan!! She dies a great job!!”

About: I'm a dog lover who relishes time bonding with pets. I have two of my own who some (my husband!) think I over indulge with attention. I'm responsible and reliable. I'm self employed and work from home so have complete flexibility in dates and times available. I prefer to avoid late nights, but can be flexible if needed. I'm available to do any of the basic in-home care, including feeding, walking, playing. I'm happy to crate if needed, or any other requirements including administering medicine.

“Jennifer was able to come out to mind Angela on only a couple of days' notice. She is a very responsive and proactive communicator, which was much appreciated!”

“Bec did an awesome job taking care of my high energy kitten while I was out of town for the weekend. She followed all my instructions and most importantly gave him tons of love an attention while I was away. I came home to a very happy kitten :)”

About: I care for my family’s dog, Moxie, every day alongside my siblings. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure he stays happy, active, and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I understand every pet has different needs and routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to following your instructions closely so your pet receives the same care and consistency they’re used to at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, active playtime, or simply having company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ve also cared for small pets in the past and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in good hands. I’m currently a college student and work part-time during the summer, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care throughout the week. My work schedule varies from week to week, but because I work part-time, I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits, walks, and quality time with your pets. I typically know my schedule in advance and do my best to accommodate pet care requests whenever possible. I’m also usually available on weekends and enjoy spending time outdoors with dogs, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’ve always been an animal lover….I’m usually the one in the corner spending more time with the pets than the people at family gatherings! In fact, I even made a PowerPoint presentation to convince my family to get our goldendoodle, Moxie. My priority is making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and needs, follow instructions carefully, and provide consistent, reliable care. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit or taking your dog on a walk, I’ll treat them like my own, with patience, attention, playtime, and affection. I also respect my clients’ homes and will care for your pet and belongings responsibly while you’re away.

“Brynn is doing such a great job ! I have a wiggly, small puppy and she wrangles him beautifully! I always know I can trust Brynn to do a good job. She lets me know that he goes potty, eats his snack and a play time. It’s not easy to potty train in winter weather but she’s getting the job done! I totally recommend Brynn!”

About: I have been training dogs since I was little, first with my very first dog at the age of 8 and since with my current rescues as well as family and friend’s pets. But when I’m not helping train and take care of them I am an avid playmate for all pets. I am currently working full time home from school for the summer so I am available for walks and playtime or any care in the afternoons, after 3 pm. I am available for boarding and visits on the weekends after 9 am. I enjoy taking my dogs on daily walks as well as playtime almost every day. I brush my dogs hair regularly, especially as they shed for the summer. My favorite activities to keep them active however are bike rides, jogs and going to the dog park.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for over 12 years through helping family, friends, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, playtime, and overnight care. I have worked at a dog facility in the past. I’m very patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to each pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, or playtime, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m reliable, responsive, and happy to work with different routines and schedules to best fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet is supervised, cared for attentively, and kept in a calm, loving environment. I always follow any routines, feeding schedules, medication instructions, or special requests provided by owners. I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.

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).

About: I have run a dog walking/sitting business since 2019 and have just now moved onto Rover to expand my clientele. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and many a “problem” dog. Whether your dog is easy and uncomplicated or difficult on a leash, around other dogs, et cetera, I can help. I am six feet tall so can handle even the biggest of dogs. Your pets deserve excellent care, so any length walk and up to three visits per day works for me! Whatever you need, let me know and we’ll work it out. I am home for the summer and able to take care of your pet any time of day from 8am-8pm (later or earlier start time needed? Just ask!). I can stop by twice times a day for walks, check ins, play time, whatever is needed. I usually do morning and evening check-ins. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet company and feeling cared for while you’re gone. My check ins are never shorter than a half an hour and typically more than that for love and pets or playtime. If your dog needs to be crated, I typically come later in the evening and earlier in the morning to minimize crate time and maximize walking time. I am fit for walking any distance, so your high energy dogs can have a good hour long stroll if you need!

About: If you’re looking for someone dependable to drop in on your pup or take them out for some fresh air and exercise, I am here to help! Working from home gives me the unique ability to step away and dedicate my full attention to walking, check-in services, and boarding for your furry family members. Dogs have been the center of my family's world since we got our first puppy 25 years ago. After our beloved 14-year-old Rhodesian Ridgeback passed away in January 2026, we realized just how much we missed the routine of caring for a dog. I love interacting with dogs of all shapes and sizes. Through fostering numerous puppies, I have mastered the art of leash training and high-energy play. Furthermore, because our own dog was deaf and lived to a ripe old age, we are uniquely equipped to provide gentle, specialized care for elderly or disabled dogs during drop-ins, walks, and some boarding. I promise to bring peace of mind with plenty of updates and love! Working from home full-time Monday through Friday gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week. Because my desk is just a few steps away, I am able to seamlessly structure my day around your dog's needs—taking regular, dedicated breaks to provide refreshing neighborhood walks, interactive playtime, and frequent outdoor potty rests. Your pup will enjoy consistent companionship and routine care without me ever having to leave the house for an office commute. I live in a rambler with a walk-out basement and a large yard. We live near a couple of parks, and I love taking the dogs for walks.

About: I’ve worked with a lot of different kinds of dogs big and small. I took a few classes with a guide dog company to learn to train dogs that are reactive. I have a puppy I’m raising who would love to meet your animals. I have to take care of my puppy and adding another dog to the schedule isn’t very hard for me to do. Every morning we go to the dog park and get some energy out after breakfast. I have a puppy that loves to hangout and play with all dogs. We do a lot of walking and go to the dog park every morning to get some energy out.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was little. I grew up always having a dog in the house, and pet sitting for neighbors' dogs and cats. I also have some experience in a small animal clinic, as well as caring for my sisters dog when she is away. I am a full-time student at CSU, but I have time in between classes, and they generally end around 2-3. My evenings are more open and I am flexible to fit to the needs of the animal. I am very comfortable with dogs and am good at reading body language. I am comfortable distributing meds, food , water, etc. I am willing to have dogs in my car if we were to go to a park, etc.
