“Mona does a great job with our dogs when we're not available -- they are older but still enjoy the regular walks that she and her family give them. Thanks!”

About: Se habla espańol 🇵🇪 I had the pleasure of taking care of a little Shihtzu named Giselle for nearly 7 years and now have a gray tabby named Chicho 🤩 I have experience with both dogs and cats of all ages and all energies which has given me the opportunity to learn the different kinds of care both of them need. I understand the importance of making sure animals are fulfilled within their limits and I’m happy to provide that for them! ***House-Sitting/Overnight requests are JUST me staying overnight in your home to care for your pet (9PM-8AM). My house sitting is not 24/7 care, I typically aim to check in on your pet(s) every 4-6 hours or as less/more often as you request. My Overnight/House Sitting fee includes (1) morning or evening walk and/or playtime in the yard, potty time, etc. Additional visits are extra (see pricing).*** Thank you for understanding and please message me with any questions 😊 I work full time as a dental surgical assistant for an oral surgeon 8AM to 4PM on weekdays. After then and all day weekends I’m available to take care of your little ones! My Chicho roams freely in his home and outside as well (with some supervision). He gets along with other animals after some time to get to know each other but overall he’s friendly.

“Addie came to our house to dog-sit our 7-month-old puppy while my wife and I took a day trip for some Christmas shopping in Denver. She is very kind, patient, and clearly has a heart for dogs. Our puppy immediately connected with her. Addie is a great choice for dog-sitting. We will use her again.”

“Ken watched my pups for a week while I was away. He was amazing. He kept me informed daily of their activities. He sent pics. He definitely made me able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing that the pups are in good hands! Definitely will be calling Ken again.”

About: I've done pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. This includes care of dogs to include feeding, play, walking, and administering meds if applicable. I currently have a six year old English Bulldog who is a stubborn sweetheart and I regularly pet sit for a family member's pitbull mix. I will be available on marked days, most regularly weekends as well as selected weekday options as I have a flexible/remote work set-up. I take care of pets of my own (as well as children) so I can confidently fill in to care for your pet. I have reliable transportation and defined radius on my profile so I can arrange for several walks and in home check-ins and care throughout the day and evening. When/if I do board or care for a client's pet in my home, there is a fenced in backyard and one other dog in the home.

“Felicia has only sat with our dog, Walter a couple of times, but she has been terrific. He loves her and is very relaxed when she is here. She is easy to reach and always on time. She will be one of our regular Rover sitters now!”

“We needed a sitter on really short notice and Christyn was available. She sent pics of our dogs showing how they were, our hound took to her immediately. Thank you for taking care of our pups! Definitely recommended!”

Alicia A.

“Sherm was amazing! He took excellent care of our fur baby and our apt while we were away. He sent pictures and was very prompt in all communication. Our kitty was struggling with the "new person in my house" phase, and he did a great job making her feel comfortable and safe. He was so patient and reassuring that she was loafing in his lap by the end of the stay. He also left the apt very clean. Would absolutely rebook and recommend!”

About: I come with experience taking care of/sitting for dogs and cats of many ages and size and can’t wait to be your fur-babies’ new best friend! I’m currently working part-time from home and have a lot of time to take care of your pets anytime Saturdays or weekdays after 5 pm I have a Boston Terrier mixed with Jack Russel at home with a fenced yard. I do also have a medium to large crate at home if needed.

About: I have had experience with my own dog, as he was apart of the family for 12 years. I love being around dogs, and I will make sure they are well taken care of! I am currently home from college during the summer and working part time. I will be available for long-term and short term sitting on the weekends, and possibly sitting during the week as that is when I am working part time. I do not offer care in my own home, but I will be willing to work out something if need be of if it’s the best option!

“Antoinette was AMAZING with my dog Rocky while I was on vacation and I highly recommend her. I found her thru Rover. She came to my house before I left to meet Rocky and to go over everything. My dog has skin allergies which he takes medication for so she gave him meds overnight. Rocky was a little upset the first day she watched him and didn’t want to eat. I had never left him before. She contacted me immediately and we came up with a plan and it worked. She sent me lots of pictures throughout the day of Rocky which I appreciated. I will use her again in the future.”

“Celina was great with our two pugs! One of them is very people shy, and she had him snuggling with her in no time! She kept us informed as to how our fur babies were doing throughout the weekend. Will definitely use her again!”

Roya P.

“Brandon was fantastic. He is a great communicator and clearly gave my dogs lots of love and attention while we were away. I highly recommend Brandon for your pet care needs!”

Stephanie G.

“I have to thank Collin for his patience and willingness to watch my furry duo. He managed to somehow feed my poor dogs using sorcery and sheer willpower to scrounge whatever I had left after my dog’s food was stolen from my doorstep. My dogs also adore and trust him so he gets 100/10. Thank you so much, Collin!”

“My husband and I were away on our honeymoon for two weeks, and our original dog walker unexpectedly got sick. We had to scramble to find someone reliable to stay at our home and care for our dog, Quincy. We’re so grateful for Jennifer and her family for stepping in! She was incredibly dependable, kept Quincy’s routine consistent, and showed him so much love — as if he were her own. I really appreciated how flexible she and her family were with our last-minute request. Highly recommend booking her!”

About: ~I've run a successful dog walking & pet sitting business for over a year ~I've had 3 cats for the past 10 years ~I've adopted my dog Callie in January 2023 ~I fed, cleaned cages for, and played with shelter cats once a week for 4 years through FMCA. ~I have 5+ years of experience caring for horses. Also, I took care of 9 horses while the owners were away for the weekend several times. I run a dog walking & pet sitting business! I do dog walking 8am-5pm, Monday-Friday, and I do pet sitting 7 days a week, any hours needed! Before arriving at your home to care for your pets, I will thoroughly review all instructions you have provided for me. I will enter your home calmly to help pets feel as relaxed as possible. I will double check that all doors/fences that I have opened have been closed properly before moving on to the next task. Before leaving your home to walk your dog, I will double check that their leash/harness has been properly fastened.

About: I'm a huge dog lover, and grew up around many dogs. I have a pet beagle, Archie, who is the center of many funny stories. I'm studying biology at college, and I plan to research animal behavior in the future. This love for animals stemmed from my love for dogs! If you're looking for a sitter who is responsible, flexible, and will provide good care and exercise for your dog, please reach out! :) I'm a college student home for the holidays, so my schedule is extremely open and extremely flexible! I'm available both on weekdays and on weekends! I have an entire forest in my backyard, which is perfect for your dog to run around and explore. I also live nearby many hiking trails and public parks. Inside, your dog is free to sleep on the couch and play! I have a friendly beagle to keep your dog company, and I am home for most of the day to spend time with your dog.

About: I always had a dog in my life in one way or another. Growing up with dogs I have a life time of experience in taking care of them. I currently own a 6 year old lab and she is the light of my life. I am very excited to take care of your pet and give them all the belly rubs and attention they need! I am currently working from home full time. I am available during weekdays and weekends for boarding and daycare. I always walk and play with my dog throughout the day so your fur baby will be well taken care of. I have access to a huge fenced in dog park within walking distance to my house and with your permission I can take your fur baby to play there. If not I will do walks and play times with my dog.

“Did a great job. Treated my dogs well.”
