“Daniel was very good about communicating and was at ease with our three fairly big dogs right away. I felt comfortable with him in our home and the dogs and home were well cared for. I’ll definitely ask Daniel back :)”


“Jessica did an awesome job watching our animals! She sent lots of updates, was communicative, and left our house in great shape. We will definitely book with her in the future!!”


About: I live with two sweet cats who each have their own quirks, routines, and strong opinions—so I totally understand how unique every pet can be. One loves to cuddle, the other prefers space, and both have taught me a lot about reading body language, building trust, and keeping a calm, consistent routine. Beyond my own cats, I’ve cared for a variety of pets through house sitting, including multi-week stays back in my hometown and weekends with animals who needed a little extra attention or care. I’m confident handling feeding schedules, administering meds, cleaning up accidents, and just being a calm, reliable presence so pets feel safe and happy while their humans are away. Pet care fits really naturally into my routine—I work part-time, so I’m usually only away for 2 to 5 hours at a time. That means I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, whether they need regular walks, playtime, or just someone around to keep them company. I’m flexible and happy to adjust to different care needs, whether that’s staying overnight, checking in a few times a day, or just stopping by for a potty break and some quick playtime. I know every pet is different, and I’m all about making sure they feel safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away. When I care for pets in their homes, I focus on keeping their environment safe, familiar, and low-stress. I know how important it is for animals to stay in their own space where they feel comfortable and secure, so I do my best to stick to their routines and respect their boundaries. I pay attention to little details—like closing doors and gates, keeping feeding areas clean, and making sure they always have fresh water and cozy spots to rest. I’m also happy to water plants and help with small house tasks while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, trusted atmosphere where pets can relax and feel cared for until their people return home.

“We booked Zoe to house sit our pup for a 2nd time recently. As was the case the 1st time, she was great. Fantastic communication and flexible. 10/10 would recommend and will hopefully have her back again soon!”


“Erika was incredible. She took great care of the house. The dogs had tons of exercise and plenty of attention. We look forward to having her stay with Gary and Phey again in the future!”


“Allison was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond for us and even traveled outside her normal service range with very short notice. Highly recommend her and will definitely be using again!”


“Jessica watched my dogs for a week on short notice when an alternate plan fell through. She sent videos every day that were so fun to watch and my pups were happy/healthy on my return. Would definitely use her again!”


About: Hi! I’m Robin. I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own. Please Note: I can’t offer dog walks, so I don’t petsit for dogs in condos/apartments without a secure, private yard. We used to offer petsitting on Rover in our home in Loveland until very recently and have a 5-Star review rating. Now we have too many pets of our own to host! The reason my profile says some town other than Loveland is because of the distance I offer for petsitting. I love getting away from home, especially going into the mountains or rural areas, so I am willing to drive quite far. We own 5 dogs and 2 indoor only cats. The greatest compliment we have received is that our neighbors who are moving out of the country asked us to adopt their sweet doggo that we already dogsit for. So we will soon have 6 dogs!!!! 🫠 I have experience owning large dogs (Great Pyrenees), Medium dogs (current 65# reservation mutt - Rez Dawg Rescue!), and small to tiny dogs. We currently own our 65# mutt and 4 Yorkies (we adopted a toothless old man and became addicted, lol). I also have experience with females in heat, pregnant dogs, birthing, and caring for mama and newborn litters. We had 3 cats, until our oldest died at 20, so we are down to 2. I have experience cooking food, feeding raw, syringe feeding, giving meds, and giving shots. If I have to feed raw, all meat needs to be cut and prepared in advance. If you feed the raw that comes frozen and just needs to be thawed and spooned out, I’m happy to do that. If you need food cooked from raw, all meat needs to be cut in advance and I will need to charge an extra fee for that work. I also have experience with special needs pets, including using hip straps on large breeds and hooking dogs up to wheelchairs. If your pet is incontinent to the degree that it requires me to do extra house cleaning and washing linens, I’m totally OK with that, but I will need to charge an extra fee for that work. I have owned and cared for other animals, including hamsters, Guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, birds, chickens, and horses. I am comfortable handling horses and large farm animals - moving, feeding, watering, stall cleaning. I’m overweight, but I’m also tall and strong. I am OK feeding and watering (not live food) critters in aquariums/habitats, but I will not handle the critters or any live food. I know bearded dragons, snakes, and spiders like to be handled and have adventures too, but I just can’t, lol. If you have more than 3 animals total or a mix of animals other than dogs, my fee is negotiable and dependent on the care levels needed, so please reach out! Rover fees don’t allow for all situations and the multiple pet fees build up quickly. I get it - we negotiate fees for our own menagerie when we travel. I am a virtual mental health counselor, so I will be at home with your pets all day. I DO need you to have good enough WiFi to meet with clients via Zoom. (Download: 20 Mbps. Upload: 5 Mbps.) I prefer to let dogs outside every 4 hours during my work day, if possible, so I’m not harried. If that won’t work for you, I will consider a different schedule on a case by case basis (like puppies!) If you are wondering why I want to petsit… I am still in my prelicensing years as a counselor and we don’t make very much money during these years. I also write books and web content, so I enjoy the opportunity to get out of my own house to write with fewer distractions. Just the good ones - pets! I have been using Trusted Housesitters for the past year to do local getaways to stay in houses with hot tubs for free in exchange for pet care. I just realized I should be petsitting through Rover and supplementing our income so I can buy my own hot tub. ;) I’m a seasoned, responsible adult with a 5-star rating on Rover and Trusted Housesitters over several years, so you can trust me with your pets. I will communicate any unforeseen issues promptly and handle them in a responsible way. If your pet has a medical emergency, I would cancel my work for the day to get them emergency care immediately. I have a Subaru Outback (all-wheel drive) that is pet friendly and can handle snow and off road driving. Unfortunately, I do not have a hitch, so if I need to haul anything larger than a dog, I would need to use your vehicle/trailer. I can drive a manual transmission (stick shift).

“Hanna is an absolute God-send! We have 2 cats & 2 dogs and left for 2 weeks on vacation. We always felt incredibly comfortable knowing Hanna was with our animals + staying in our home. She left the place in amazing shape, and the pups can’t wait for her next visit 🙂”


About: I have taken care of my neighbors dogs ever since I was ten years old. I currently take care of my four dogs and absolutely love animals of all kinds. I am used to following specific instructions relating to healthcare protocols. I pay close attention to detail and am looking forward to meeting furry friends I am currently transitioning from my time serving in the military for the past four years. I am currently taking a break from work before I begin my next journey. I offer plenty of love and am willing to provide any animal care services needed! I love exercising and playing with animals and can’t wait to care for your animal

“We are so grateful to have found Bryce to watch our German Shepherd and house sit. I was nervous about leaving our dog with someone new and having them stay in our home. Bryce exceeded all of my expectations and more. He sent daily photo updates of Ramble, the house was immaculate when we returned home and Ramble was very well taken care of with daily adventures and play time. Bryce is incredibly respectful, friendly, professional, excellent with animals and takes his job very seriously. I can't recommend him enough!”


“I couldn't be happier with the care Josh provided for Elton. From the moment we connected, communication was easy and consistent — he kept me updated with messages and photos. Elton seemed very comfortable and well-loved in his care. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup and a clean home, which I so appreciated. Josh is responsible, kind and truly loves animals. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


“Ellie was great with my two girls. She sent regular updates and spent a lot of time with them in the house and on walks. I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. She gave me peace of mind while I was away and I will definitely be booking with her again!”


“Thank you so much for watching our fur babies! This was our first trip away since moving to CO - and we were so nervous to leave the pups! They did great with Casey, and we love that she sent us update pictures throughout the weekend! ☺️ We feel so much more at ease knowing we have someone that the pups know well enough when we leave town!”

“Kai is amazing! Worrying about the dogs is always a source of anxiety when we travel but Kai completely eliminated that for us. She is constantly sending updates and photos and goes above and beyond. We just had her stay for over 2 weeks and our house was well taken care of and our dogs were happy as can be! I would recommend her to anyone:)”


About: I have always had dogs in my household and pet sit for friends and family since I was a kid. I live in Estes Park with my partner and our very friendly pup. While we cannot host other dogs at this time, I would love to house sit, walk, run, play, or check in and spend some time with your pets while you are on vacation or at work. Available for Christmas, new years, and long-term weekly care. I am home the majority of the day time with a flexible schedule. My work flows cyclically each month allowing lots of time for spending with animals and outside. I am happy to bring my dog along for hikes and playtime if you would like this for your dog/s and I am happy to come give your pets my undivided attention in their home, on walks, or in the park - Rocky really is amazing. I will dedicate plenty of time on every visit to ensure your dog has the company you are expecting to keep their stress levels low and get all the rest and care they need while you are away.

“Annabella exceeded our expectations. Our trip was somewhat last minute and she was eager to help and compassionate with our situation. During our trip she handled a difficult situation with our sick and anxious older dog very professionally, with a lot of understanding and communication. I would highly recommend her to watch your dog, care for your home, do your taxes, perform open heart surgery or anything else you need a trustworthy person for.”
