“Sarah did wonderful with our golden retriever! She went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. She is very attentive to the details we provided and made sure our dog was well cared for. I would recommend her any day. We will certainly book with Sarah in the future!”
About: I've never met a dog that doesn't end liking me. I usually take care of my sisters dogs when needed vet trips and all goodies I'm currently working part time twice a week until the end of September. My schedule is very flexible, when you need me just call me We go for walks I'll have them on leash, play with them in your yard always having an eye on them, water and feed them
About: Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I have gained extensive hands-on experience and know exactly how to take good care of them. I love animals and enjoy taking them on long walks, playing with them, and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I love taking dogs on long walks and understand how important it is for them to get outside and stay active. I'm a very active person myself, so regular walks are no problem for me. I’d be happy to take dogs to places like Bacon Creek or explore other great walking spots. I'm originally from Boulder Colorado, where I grew up hiking with my dogs, it’s one of my absolute favorite things to do!😁 I currently work part-time at Brekky’s coffee shop, where we always close in the afternoons. So, after 3:00 PM, I am always available to walk dogs. My schedule varies weekly — sometimes I work early mornings and can’t walk dogs beforehand, while other times I start later and have more free time. Because my schedule changes frequently, daily communication would work best for me. I’m very flexible and responsive when it comes to updating and managing those changes I have a fenced yard — it’s small but secure, perfect for dogs to play in. I live right behind Morningside University, which gives me access to many great places to walk dogs. I share a house with my boyfriend and roommates; we have separate rooms in the basement, providing plenty of space for dogs to stay overnight comfortably..
About: Hi!!! I’m a Freshman College student looking for something to do in my spare time. I have many animals of my own and have have plenty of experience raising and training animals. I always say that I get along with animals better than humans but who knows lol :) I personally have two wonderful cats and a very old lab that I spend more than half my day with. Every morning I make sure they have food and water and while I may not have an extensive food routine for them they do get their occasional healthy meal every so often so that they don’t only get dry food. I have a fenced yard and two indoor cats. I don’t personally use a crate but I can easily stick to that routine if needed
About: I have grown up with many different dogs and they are family. I currently have a labradoodle named Bailey and a golden retriever named Mack! I work part time 8 hour shifts and on my days off I would love to have something to do! I am very flexible and willing to make anything work! I have two dogs that are very friendly and playful. I also live on a farm that is half a mile from the road with plenty of running space for the dogs!
About: I have 2 years experience working at an animal shelter and now I’m currently an evening Manager/Office Assistant at a pet resort. I am cat and dog first aid and CPR certified! I have many clients that I work with outside of Rover. Seeing new dogs/cats coming in everyday each with different situations has helped so much with learning. I have done pet sitting for tropical fishes, bearded dragons, birds, a lobster, a rabbit, tree frogs, snakes and different types of dogs. I also can house sit/check up on cats. I’m very responsible and respectful and I’m always available through my phone with any questions or concerns you have about your pet. I hope you consider me as your pet sitter! Can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! I work full time from 11am-8pm Monday-Friday. I prefer to do drop in visits before and after work. I can even stop by on lunch break. I make sure to make it a positive and safe environment for your pets. Before letting a dog out I check the yard, making sure that gates aren’t open and there’s nothing in the yard to harm them. Give the treats and lots of love.

Benjamin C.
“Ben is awesome!! He watched my dogs (and cat) for a weekend. Both of my dogs are rescues, and one can be a bit skiddish and scared. Ben was so great with her!!! He has a special gift with doggies and wasn’t intimidated or worried about my dogs. He sent picture updates. I also wrote out specific details for my dogs’ care, and he did awesome with that as well. My dogs have their routine, so it was great having someone watch them and take care of their needs. I’d recommend him.”
