“Kristen is very patient with my dog, who can be a bit wiggy on walks when he sees other dogs. She is very experienced,and therefore, knows how to handle him. I'm very appreciative of her style and experience.”
“Lynn has watched our cats several times and has been very reliable. She takes the time to give them the attention and care they need. It’s so nice knowing they are being taken care of so well by her and we can come home to a clean and happy home. Thanks, Lynn, for being there for us and our cats!”
“Falecia was incredible! We were able to take a 2 week vacation and her detailed updates let us rest easy knowing our cats were happy and healthy. Thank you Falecia!”
About: Hi there! I’m Katie, a lifelong dog and cat mom who understands that pets are family. I’ve had animals my entire life and recently trained my energetic cattle dog to earn his AKC Canine Good Citizen certification. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and genuinely invested in your pet’s happiness. Whether it’s a mid-day walk, a drop-in for playtime, overnight house sitting, doggy daycare, or boarding in my home, I make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and cared for. When I’m not hanging out with furry friends, I’m building a therapy business for women, so compassion, calm presence, and responsibility are part of everything I do. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. I’ll keep you updated with photos, notes, and peace of mind while you’re away. If you’re looking for a professional, trustworthy sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to meet your furry loved ones! I’m an entrepreneur building my own business, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m home most days and can easily accommodate walks, drop-ins, daycare, boarding, or house sitting. My flexible routine allows me to give each pet plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. Safety, comfort, and love are always my top priorities. When pets stay in my home, I create a calm, structured, and fun environment where they can relax, play, and feel at ease. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible and make sure they get plenty of exercise, affection, and enrichment throughout the day. My home is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, and I never leave animals unattended for long periods. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I give my own. I follow all instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and make sure your pets stick to their usual schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. My goal is for both you and your pets to feel completely safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I've pet sat since I was around 11 years old. This typically involved dogs and chickens. I also grew up with multiple dogs, cats, fish, and even a rabbit. Additionally, I grew up around neighborhood friends with all kinds of livestock such as chickens, sheep, goats, and horses. I am very experienced looking after and caring for pets and I am excited to meet and get to know your loving animals. I'm currently in search of full time work post college graduation, so I have lots of time to stop in and check on your pet, or stay with them for a more extended period of time. I live in an apartment, so I am not able to take in pets in my own residence. But I am more than happy to commute to you and your pet.
About: Since the age of four I have been caring for dogs- rescues, fosters, and purebreds. From puppies to seniors, I enjoy running, playing, and spending time with them while getting to know their unique personalities. I am currently a full time student at CU Boulder, so I am able to care for your dog during a wide variety of times during the week and weekend. Monday through Friday I am able to provide care before 9am and at various times during the day when needed. I am able to care for and do overnights with your pet in your home. But I am not able to do over nights at my current place of residence.
About: I will take care of your pet as if it were my own. I am a huge animal lover and am the go-to person to watch or help out with my friends, coworkers and family's four-legged family members. My dog passed away a few years ago so pet sitting fills my need for furry friends. I have watched dogs, cats, chickens and snakes. Unfortunately, due to some past experiences, I no longer pet sit aggressive breeds. I work a typical 9-5, Monday through Friday; however, my job allows me to work remotely and is flexible. However, there are times where I may need to go into the office which I will let you know. I am able to do walks throughout the day. I prefer to watch dogs that can be left up to 4 hours. I live in a condo with an outdoor dog park next door. It has a large and small dog area. I also have many trails that we can walk on and am easily able to keep dogs away from others. I am happy to watch multiple dogs from the same household, but to ensure the safety of all the animals I prefer to board/housesit one family at a time.
“Caitlin was fantastic! She took great care of our two cats while we were away for a few days and made sure they were comfortable and happy the whole time. She was very communicative, sending updates and photos each day, and she followed all of our instructions perfectly. We felt totally at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Hanna is a great cat sitter! Bagheera is always so happy to see her ❤️ repeat customer here who's glad to have found someone reliable to watch my cat”
About: I walk all types of dogs at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley as a volunteer. HSBV provides training modules that can help advance my skills. Since I'm retired, I'm available almost every day. My schedule is flexible for visits and/or walks to care for your pets. I enjoy the outdoors in any weather. I am a responsible, clean, and organized person. I look forward to meeting your pets and caring for them when you're away or when your schedule doesn't allow pet care.
“Zane took great care of my boy Elliot while I was away for over two weeks. He feed him on time, cleaned his litter and had play time. He sent selfies of them almost everyday. My place was just as I had left when I returned. Highly recommend!”
“Danielle is very communicative and so caring! She was quick to look over our pet care instructions and ask clarifying questions in advance of the drop in visits. We appreciated the cat pics while we were away and we could tell that the kitties enjoyed her company!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, especially dogs and birds, so caring for pets has always felt natural to me. I regularly watch my sister’s dogs and have helped care for and train her puppies, which has given me hands-on experience with basic training, routines, and high-energy pups. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to more relaxed adults. I truly enjoy building trust with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Early mornings: Available during the week Mondays, Wednesdays & Fridays: After 1:30 PM Tuesdays & Thursdays: After 3:30 PM Evenings: Available any day Weekends: Fully available Due to leasing rules, I’m unable to provide pet care in my own home. However, I’m happy to care for pets in their own home or take them out for walks. I always follow pet parents’ instructions closely, maintain a safe and clean environment, and make sure pets feel comfortable and secure in familiar surroundings. Your pet’s safety, routine, and well-being are always my top priorities.
“Brian is always great with our cats, even the one who is scared of any new people. He gave them some time in the catio on a drop-in visit, which I’m sure they enjoyed.”
“Emma Jean was available short notice and was so amazing to my girl through the day while I was gone. Highly recommend, mine loves attention and has lots of energy and Emma took care of all of it!”
“Laura has been so patient with our shy 4.5mo old rescue pup. She tried novel things, like playing music, to help get Marcy relaxed. She knows how to read our pup and give her what she needs. Laura’s communication has been immediate and she texts throughout the visit if any problems arise. She also takes adorable photos! Highly recommend Laura!”
“Mary is the best! Sloan is hesitant with new people, and it’s clear that Mary is a total cat person who understands how to read their body language and let them lead. She asked us so many questions during our meet and greet and even had her own thorough checklist that she goes through to make sure she’s got all her bases covered. We are so glad we found her!”
Palo Park pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lacey showed our puppy Beatrix a lot of love- Bea was VERY excited to see her again and seemed very happy when I got home! She has been great with communication, timely with meet ups and just a very lovely person! I would book her again in a heartbeat! (And I’m sure Bea would too!) Thanks again!!
Jana is the absolute best! She took such good care of our cat. We appreciate how happy she kept him over the holidays - we could tell he felt safe and comfortable with her and that put us at ease leaving him for the first time ever. She sent wonderful photos every day that made our entire day whenever we got them. We are so grateful to Jana! ☺️
We absolutely love Felipe! We had a last-minute trip come up and he booked with us immediately, no hesitation. He is always incredibly responsive and reliable, which gives us so much peace of mind when we’re out of town. Our cats are excited to see him every time, which says everything about the care and attention he gives them. He truly does the best job, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Wenqi was unbelievably helpful! She was communicative, caring, and considerate. Most of all, my little man loved his time with her. She sent photos and videos, kept me updated and went above and beyond during the Dec. windstorm. I will absolutely book her in the future and would recommend her to any else looking for an amazingly reliable pet sitter!
She was so so so amazing! Can't recommend enough. She was so thorough and had amazing clear communication and it seriously made me feel so much better leaving my baby! My cat absolutely LOVED her and she sent so many photos and a whole detailed note every visit. The best! Definitely will be using her again!!!
We had an excellent experience with Eme. They were punctual, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout our time away. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, and they always asked thoughtful questions whenever something was unclear. Our dog was taken on long hikes every day, which made a huge difference, and both our dog and cat were clearly happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pets were in such good hands.
