1. Ashley F.

“Ashley took great care of my home and my pup Rue while I was out of town for a few days. She followed all of my instructions and kept to Rue’s typical routine, and was very accommodating to some last-minute schedule changes. I will definitely keep Ashley in mind for my next trip out of town!”


2. Kat B.

“Kat, watched our cat for two weeks while we were on a trip. She took great care of him and sent us messages about how he was doing while we were away. She left the house in excellent shape after staying there for the duration. She is easy to work with and responds quickly. Would highly recommend.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats of my own for the past 18 years, and offering services on Rover since 2021. I love going for long walks with the pups and cuddling with kitties. My last pooch crossed the rainbow bridge at 14 years, so I am familiar with senior dog care and administering topical and oral medications. I’m home on weekends, and working a 9-5 during the week. Dogs who are not kid friendly would be more of a challenge, but feel free to message and we can see how to make it work. I have a 2 year old tuxedo cat named BingBong at my home in New Castle and 1/2 custody of a very friendly 5 year old lab/Australian shepherd mix dog named Onyx. I work a full time 9-5 Monday through Friday, but happy to stop by before and after work. My schedule is pretty open on the weekends! I prefer drop in visits and walks in your pet’s home, environment with limited availability for boarding, house sitting, and doggie day care upon request.


4. Grace O.

“Grace was outstanding! I did a meet and greet to make sure my dogs liked her and my one dog that does not like people loved her. She petted her during the entire meet and greet. She was very responsible, professional, and attentive to my dogs. She even had to give medication to one of my dogs and that went flawless. She sent me lots of pictures and responded to me when I checked in (worried fur-mom). My house was spotless when I returned. I would definitely recommend her and I will be booking with her again!”


5. Alondra E.
About: I am a certified dog trainer from petco. I currently work at petco; been here for a year and a half now. I have have two dogs and two cats. Most days I have the afternoons free. I work Tuesdays-Saturdays; Mostly 9-5. We can always figure something out I'm pretty flexible with work and personal life. I have two really friendly dogs both boxers. I always clean up after them. I love walking/playing with my dogs. I also give them a bit of some training time.


6. Alexandra M.

“Alexandra was amazing! She is super sweet and communicative, sent lots of updates and photos/videos and was great with our dogs. Our two dogs seemed really content and happy with her around—even our Akita. I was a little stressed out having a stranger watch them while we were traveling, but she soothed my fears with all of her updates and asking questions about anything I’d missed in our notes about them. I’d definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs and would be happy to have her watch our doggos again.”


7. Trisha B.
“Trisha is the Best! I trust very few people with my dog. When I know Trisha is looking after her, all my worries are gone. She can walk, feed, look after, give love to, & anything you need. The sweetest nicest kindest soul, always my number one choice to dog sit.”


8. Cydney E.
“Cydney has watched my dog, Rose, many times and for extended lengths of time (3 days - 1 month). Cydney is gentle, attentive and receptive to your animals needs. She makes sure to take care of your animals the same as she would take care of her own. I appreciated how she would always update me on how my dog was doing and send photos so I could see that she was happy. She even went so far as to take my dog on hikes and play with my dog outside so she was not bored while I was away. This is not a pet sitter who is going to leave your animal in a locked room alone all day and claim that they are taking good care of her. When your animal is with Cydney they will be treated like family. Cydney is a great communicator and is very trustworthy. I would 100% hire her to watch my dog again.”


9. Jake F.
“Jacob is a fantastic pet sitter. It truly shows how much he cares and loves my pets when he watches them. He has experience, love, and compassion for animals. I can leave without worries because I know my pets are in wonderful hands.”


10. Paige B.
About: Trustworthy and reliable human looking to take care of your precious pets! I have many years of experience in animal care and have two dogs of my own! I’m working a seasonal job at the ski resort but my spring and summer is going to be very open. I also have a retired mother who is at home full time and she is also looking for some extra work. Bonus- she is a professional pet groomer! I will do everything I can to accommodate your pets specific needs. I’m able to feed, walk, give meds and plenty of love! My animals are allowed on beds and couches at my house but I can keep to whatever your preferences are in your home.


11. Linda T.

“I am writing this testimonial to let pet owners know a few reasons why they can trust Linda with their pets. Linda has always loved animals. She has cared for, trained, groomed and nursed dogs, cats, horses, chickens , sheep and more. Linda is a nurse by profession, and will always strive to keep your animals in good health and treat any health problems with concern. Animals enjoy spending time with Linda and she quickly forms a trusting bond between herself and the animals she cares for.”

16. Caroline A.
About: When I was younger I had my own dog walking business and have been taking care of people's furry friends since then. I will make sure that your dog gets a lot of attention and will treat them as if they were my own pet. I live near a park where I can walk them around. I can take your dogs on walks during the week as well to get some of their extra energy out! I don't mind traveling 15 miles to work with your furry friend, Please consider me for your next pet babysitter!! My dog is a little weird with other dogs sometimes so I wouldn’t be able to watch your animal at my house but I am more than willing to drop by when needed! I am working part time and will be available mostly in the evenings and in the morning! I will also be available to pet sit in the home! I will be working on my clients homes due to my reactive dog. I am willing to travel less than 30 miles to the clients house


17. Chonlada W.
“Mie loves animals, especially dogs. She has a connection to them. You will never have to worry if your pooch is getting enough attention because whether it's dog walking or snuggling, your dog will get enough. Mie takes responsibilities seriously.”


18. Ciara R.
About: Hello! Lifelong animal lover here. Grew up wanting to be a veterinarian, somehow stumbled into tech. Currently on sabbatical from work and enjoying settling into our new life on the Western Slope. We currently have a 14 year old Australian Shephard / Husky whose love language is long meandering walks. I’m Type A, active, and have experience with positive reinforcement training for dogs. Love cats, cared for them growing up, although I can't say I've had any success there with "training"... :) I'm currently on a sabbatical so my weekly schedule is flexible. Typically bring our 14-year-old pup for a long walk mid morning and again late afternoon. Could happily incorporate more exercise for a higher energy pup, or less for those more inclined on couch time. We live on 3 acres near Rifle Mountain Park, set back from the highway. Peaty can generally be found lounging outside in the sun, or sleeping on his bed next to the wood-burning stove. He's happy to show another pup his lifestyle, and we're also happy to follow stricter rules as needed.


19. Alexis B.

“Alexis watched our lab in our home for 4 days. She kept us updated and sent pictures to us while we were away. Our pup loved her from the start! We came back to a happy dog and a clean home. Would definitely recommend to anyone and use her again. Thanks again!”
