“Haruko was amazing! She was very kind and caring to our new puppy, and went above and beyond to send photos and updates throughout the day. If you're looking for a someone to watch your pet, Haruko is the best!”


“Samatha was amazing! She fed Winter on schedule and didn’t miss any meals. She texted me each day with an update and sent a pic of Winter with it. I really appreciated that. My house was left nice and clean. It was raining and my backyard can get muddy so she was wiping my dogs feet. Winter had an accident on her bed so Samantha washed her bed for her. She was really great so I’d recommend her to everyone! She is a really sweet person!”


About: I truly enjoy being around dogs. My friends and family have had me watching their dogs for the past 3 years in ouray. Keeps me active and a positive mind Currently retired and have lots of time for walks. Daily cruises to the amphitheater and box canyon. Lots of river walks and also time for dog parks I have a large living room with lots of beds and toys. If the weather is bad we can hang inside and play indoor putting with the dogs. If it's sunny then it's outside time for sure

About: Comforting and keeping your pet(s) company is my forte. I love to get to know each individual cutie and get to know their personalities. I do more than just 'sit.' I am retired and do a lot of philanthropic work in the community. This gives me plenty of time to spend with your pets. I I am available to spend the night or just check in. Our 4 cats have lots of room to run and play. Many visitors have remarked on how many toys we have!! I can't waitcto discover what toy is your pet's favorite!!

“Wren was amazing with my dogs. They took my psycho doggo out for a 4 mile run and took a bunch of photos. Also they were super flexible with my changing schedule. Would book again!”


“Sam did an outstanding job dog sitting for us! Sam was trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely cared about our dogs. Sam kept us updated with messages which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitting!”


“Megan was great! She provided daily updates with videos and photos, followed instructions I left, and treated both my pups with good care, which gave me peace of mind. One of my dogs is shy with strangers and he approved! I appreciated she kept in close communication. She even went the extra mile and left my place very tidy. I would definitely recommend her and will be requesting her services again. Thanks, Megan!”


“Jill was awesome- great on communication- care for my pup”


About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between. I treat every pet like family, it’s almost like you never left! I work full time, however in my free time I am more than flexible to meet your individual care needs. Nights and weekends are best for my personal schedule. I offer individual tailored care to meet each animals specific needs. Anything that is needed, I am sure I can accommodate and make happen for you and your fur babies.

“Leanna rocked it! Super responsible. Communication was on point with her from the littlest things to critical information that I would want to know. She took care of Miles like he was her own. I 100% will be using her again!”

About: Live in Golden, CO but will be in west and southwest CO for the first two weeks of August! Would love to do some dog sitting and walking on my travels. My location is set in one spot, but open to going to other places. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages and sizes since I was a teenager. Family members, friends, neighbors have relied on me to watch their pets, walk them, feed, give medicine, take care of their homes. I’m reliable, flexible and easy to work with! Overall, I’m very flexible all times of day and all week days, and some weekends. Only will be working remotely around 15 hours a week. I give a lot of love and attention to pets, walking them, playing with them. I will follow all rules and guidelines from the owner — when to feed them, give them medicine, amount of exercise, etc.

About: I can offer you the confidence that your pets will get the best care possible and I can give the attention and special care needed to make sure your pet/s are well taken care of in your absence. My love of animals makes them feel nurtured so they are naturally calm and attentive. I have professional pet sitting experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, birds and horses. I have 3 years of live-in pet sitting experience caring for pets. Previously I was a live-in, part-time Pet Sitter in Santa Fe. I cared for one Pomeranian and one Anatolian Shepard. I left that position and moved to Colorado. Prior to my recent position, I was also a live-in, part-time pet sitter on Orcas Island, Washington for 1.5 years. There, I cared for two Akidas. I am active and can provide a good strenuous walk/hike depending on your pet. I also a patient and can walk with older dogs at their pace. I am reliable, caring and trustworthy so your beloved pet/s are safe with me. I will follow your specific instructions and as well as keep them on their schedules. I have senior pet experience, oral medication administration, daily excercise with large and small dogs. I can also provide special attention and play for your cat/s and other pets too.

About: I grew up on a small hobby farm where I learned to care for household pets and basic livestock. I've cared for anxious/medicated dogs before, raised baby goats who lost their mother, and cared for many senior animals making them as comfortable as possible in their old age. I currently do not have pets as I travel far too often, so Rover is also a fantastic outlet for me to get to experience the pleasantries of animals without the full-time commitment. I currently run my own business so I have the privilege of creating my own hours. My schedule is incredible flexible, and can easily cater to your needs. When staying in my clients homes, I always make sure to leave the place cleaner than when I found it. I'm always quick with my responses when clients check in with how things are going. I love the outdoors and your pup would accompany me on hiking excursions or long walks if desired! For all my feline friends, as much as I love to stay active, I also enjoy my down time where I can curl up with a good book. So whether it be a day of play, or maintaining your home while you're out of town, I got you covered! I live in a converted school bus, so days where I take your furry friends into my care will mostly consist of playing fetch at the park, long walks and hikes, and basically being out in the fresh air every minute we get! Thank you for considering my services, I can't wait to hear from you!

“Lee was fantastic! Tilly was happy and had plenty of exercise. Our home was left in wonderful condition. Lee communicated with us well and forwarded great "glamour shots" of Tilly. I highly recommend him.”


“Caleb took really good care of Axel and left the house nice and clean for my return. Axel is getting older so it was lovely that Caleb was able to stay with him all day and make sure he was getting attention. Healso took some great pictures while I was away and it helped put my mind at ease.”


About: I was raised with dogs in the house and always feel like something is missing without a furry friend around. I have sat for dogs of a wide variety! I am open for drop-in visits or dog walking at your house, but cannot bring your dog to mine at this time. I have a lot of free time and love to fill my day up with dog visits! I am a teacher on summer break. Having my own dog that occasionally runs away, I prioritize the comfort and safety of your pets and look forwars to adjusting to their needs!

About: Hello there! My name is Alistair, and I have been fortunate enough to be surrounded by dogs throughout my entire life. Growing up, I had the incredible bond with my childhood dog, Maxamus the Cockerspaniel. Together, we embarked on an exciting journey from South Africa to the United States at the beginning of last year. Sadly, Maxamus recently passed away at 16, leaving a void in my heart. However, this experience has motivated me to share the love and care I have for dogs with other furry companions. Being a devoted dog sitter, you can trust me to provide exceptional care for your pup. I have a wealth of experience in handling various situations, including medication administration, managing separation anxiety, and providing specialized care for dogs with joint issues or arthritis. It's my utmost priority to ensure that every dog I care for receives the attention, affection, and support they need. One thing that sets me apart is my genuine passion for snuggling up and going on thrilling adventures with dogs. I believe in creating a deep connection with each dog, understanding their unique needs, and tailoring my care to suit their individual personalities. By entrusting your furry friend to me, you can rest assured knowing that they will receive the utmost love, compassion, and companionship they deserve. I can't wait to embark on this exciting journey of caring for your dog and creating unforgettable memories together! I currently own a small business in South Africa that I am able to run remotely from home here in Denver. I am fortunate enough to have plenty of time to spend with doggos! I have a comfortable apartment that is no stranger to doggos. I am used to taking my dog out 3/4 times a day depending, but can accommodate more potty and walk breaks if needed. Doggos are allowed on the furniture ❤️

“Sierra took great care of our three dogs while we were on vacation and sent us regular photo updates during her stay. We would definitely recommend services.”


About: I’ve taken care of every sort of critter since I was a little kid and have always been passionate about making animals a part of my life. This includes puppies, dogs with disabilities, blind cats, animals needing medication, and lots of animals with big personalities-I even have one my self (Australian blue healer). I have volunteered all over the country at different shelters while traveling and have worked for shelters and animal ranches. You could say I know a thing or two about animals. My dogs are essentially my kids and come on almost every adventure with me. With clients, I treat their dog exactly how I expect others to treat my furry ones when I’m out of town. If there is anything special that you’d like to let me know, then I am all ears. I spend most of my free time rock climbing and adventuring outdoors. I also love to read and paint, so if your dog isn’t as active, I will certainly lounge around with them :) All of my pets get better care than I think most dogs ever get and your dog will be treated just the same! My dogs are always involved in every activity and never feel left out. They all love to learn, play, walk, adventure and of course get snacks! Just let me know how you normally take care of your dog and we can make it work!

About: Dogs that come visit usually have a blast being part of the pack and end up learning some desirable behaviors with my 2 service animals Bellie and Lola. I am a retired veteran so i am free to work with dogs all day everyday, its very rewarding and works great with my schedule. I have a couple of runners set up and shade structures. When it is hot I let the dogs inside. I take the dogs out to play with my pack often. We will go on walks, throw frizbee, play tag, practice tricks, etc. I like to take the dogs swimming too if thats permitted by the owners before hand ( I have doggy life jackets).
