“Our kitten is rather shy, but KATIE was able to get her to accept her and pet her and play. It was nice having comments and I loved seeing the photos! Thanks very much.”

About: I have loved many dogs through the years. Our senior golden doodle recently passed and since then I’ve realized how much love I have to give a dog like yours. Our Charlie taught me gentleness and patience in his slow days and my previous German Shepard taught me how structure and play were most important to him. I’m ready and happy to tailor to your dogs needs, and make the most out of a day missing their owner! I am working part time right now, only 2-3 shifts a week, each shift being 5 hours. So most days I’m just doing house chores! I’d be happy to watch your dog before or after work or any free days I have! I’d love to take them to parks or cuddle with them at home! I care for my pets by first abiding by their owners rules and wishes for them. This consistency is so important for their behavior and confidence! Secondly I pay attention to their behaviors to know what they need whether it’s play, the bathroom or restful petting. I want my clients to know their dog won’t just be taken care of but also very loved and happy!

“I go to Emily everytime I’m out of town. She is amazing! Would recommend to any owner to have her check after your furry kids”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. For the last 15 years, I’ve owned very high energy hunting dogs, and love being able to take them on long walks, hiking in the mountains, or just play ball in the back yard. I’ll help with any kind of training/socialization a puppy or dog might need, you just have to let me know if there are behaviors you need help working on. I’m happy to drop in to check on dogs and cats of any size. If I can help out by taking a pup for a wash or anything extra like that, just ask. Willing to help transport, can come feed and medicate, as well as hang out and play for a while. I do have my own pups, and so I cannot do overnight stays at this time. Weekdays, I am only available after 6pm! I just moved back to the Grand Junction area and am working at settling into life back in the valley. I’d love to help you out with your animals! My pups are my family, they go every where with me (unless it’s to someone else’s house, of course). They get daily off leash runs in the north desert or at the family farm in Fruita. I’m not offering boarding at this time because of my own pups and lack of space.

About: I have been housesitting since I was a teenager. I am in my late twenties now and have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 2 reptiles at my own house! I am a high school teacher and have a lot of free time in the summer. I have experience caring for both senior dogs, puppies, and cats and am comfortable administering medications. I have given insulation shots to animals and have assisted with elderly dog routines. I am a teacher; so I am available very frequently in the summer and on the weekends, but have less time during the school year. I can care for your pet in their own space where they are already comfortable. I am happy to continue the routine you already have going with your animal. If you have them sleep in your bed, I am happy to do that. If you let them out to potty at 3 am, I’m there. Your pets are my pets while you are away! I also am very communicative and will let you know if there are any concerns and love to send photo updates of your animals!

“Melanie was absolutely amazing with my shy boy!💙 She gave us great updates and wonderful peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing a great cat sitter!”

About: I've always had cats and dogs in my life and cannot imagine life without them. Our pets are our family! Rest assured that your furry babies will receive the same care, attention, and compassion as my own do. I work full-time but have a fairly flexible schedule, and generally have evenings and weekends available to drop-in on your furry friends for some play-time and potty breaks. Friday-Sunday have my widest availability (all day), but with enough notice I can usually visit in the evenings. My number one rule is respect. Your pets and your home will receive my utmost respect during my visit, and I will leave everything how I found it when I arrived.

About: I've been caring for animals for my whole life, I've always had pets, and have been a walker on apps for 6+ years. I'm always willing to sit, board or walk. I volunteer with a small nonprofit that provides service dogs to disabled veterans and hope I can positively impact you and your pets. I currently volunteer, and work part-time with flexibility, so I can frequently pick-up/drop-off or check-in on your pets. My home is pet friendly with two cats. I do currently serve in the Navy reserves, so I travel to Denver once a month for a couple days, but I always know my schedule ahead of time. I have two cats who are comfortable around dogs, live in a two bedroom apartment, with close access to a grassy area and some local parks.

“We had to leave our boys for an extended period of time for the first time and we were very nervous about it. Anastasia took such good care of them and sent us some amazing pictures! We did not worry about them at all!!! They were so relaxed when we got home. We would definitely use Anastasia again to take care of Papi and Noodles!”

About: I am an avid animal lover with 13 years of experience under my belt! I’ve take care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and rabbits and loved every second of it and I would love to take care of your pets too. I make sure to treat every single animal like my own and as if they were a human baby which essentially they are! I have taken care of animals for family and friends as well as my own and I wish to become a sitter on rover to continue this while helping others out in this crazy world! As it’s summer I am available Monday-Wednesday for the entire day! I do work the rest of the week but I can fit sitting/walks in when needed/requested. I care for pets like they are my own and they are beautiful animals with emotions just like us and I treat them as such. With care, compassion, love, respect and I make sure to engage with them so they get their daily mental stimulation either through playing or puzzles!

About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.

“Anne is lovely, punctual, and communicative, and so patient with our skittish cats. She's managed to befriend one of them! This is the second time we've hired Anne and I'd be delighted to hire her again in the future.”

About: I have help out my friends and family for many years with their pets. I have taken care of many puppies and kittens including my own. I am a college student at Colorado Mesa University. I am free to do drop-ins and walks aro my class schedule. During the summer I am free during the day time. I love playing with animals, my dogs like to play hide and seek so it really makes them work their brain as to where I am. I like to follow the route the owners have with the pet so it doesn't stress the animal out if possible.

About: I parent two active cattle dog breeds. I have experienced with senior dogs and puppies! I I am comfortable with administering any medication that is needed or any form of extra care. I’m a teacher so during the school year I can help out in the evenings and anytime on the weekends. In the summer I can do anytime! My home has a large yard with a fence. We do also have a dog door. My aim is to follow any procedures/expectations your pets are used to.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets throughout my life, including cats growing up and currently two dogs of my own. I’m very familiar with daily care routines such as feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and behavior monitoring. I enjoy being active with dogs through walks and play, whether that’s structured walks, backyard play, or just giving them attention and enrichment so they stay happy and stimulated. I understand that every pet has different energy levels and needs, and I adjust care accordingly. I’m also comfortable with basic pet care needs, including administering oral medications and supporting pets with special routines or recovery needs, as long as it falls within standard, non-veterinary care guidelines. I’m very detail-oriented and always follow instructions closely to make sure pets stay safe, comfortable, and on schedule. Overall, I’m confident with both dogs and cats of all temperaments and prioritize calm, consistent, and reliable care so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I already care for my doggos at home regularly so it is a natural part of my daily routine. I work mon- Thursday so I'm free friday- Sunday afternoon o care for your animals Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean environment with supervision and plenty of attention. I maintain a structured routine with feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also have two friendly dogs, so visiting pets will be in a real home setting with normal household activity, and I always make sure introductions and space are managed safely. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, and any special routines. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel secure and not disrupted while their owners are away. In both settings, I pay close attention to behavior and health changes and communicate updates so owners always know how their pets are doing.

About: I have loved cats for as long as I can remember. I am looking forward to providing drop-in visits for your cats when you need some extra help. I rely on trustworthy cat sitters when I am away and I can be that person for you. I have taken care of family members' cats when needed. I currently work full-time and have been with this company for over eleven years. I can do visits before and/or after my shifts. I love it when cats want to have head rubs and sit on me, but I also know that not every cat wants that much interaction. So, I am happy to interact with each cat in a way that makes them feel comfortable.

About: **I’ve got you with the photo/text updates ALWAYS** I’ve taken care of ALL types of animals (pets, exotic, farm, reptiles, birds) since I was a little kid! I partially grew up on a farm, and have lots of experience handling and caring for animals. I have no issues with breaking up animal conflict, administering medication, and am hardworking individual. I currently am the proud mother of one leopard gecko and cat! Please reach out for any pet needs! Let’s set it up! Let’s communicate! I am an athletic trainer at the university. My schedule can be a bit chaotic, so jobs that are requested at least 1-2 weeks in advance will work the best for us. I have a flexible day to day schedule, but would NOT be appropriate for families who need constant care/oversight. I would love to talk more about setting up dates/times that work for us and your pet!!!! When I am housesitting, I make sure to try and maintain as normal of a schedule, environment, and atmosphere as possible. I maintain respectful boundaries to the animal — as it is their house too!
