“This is the second time we booked Nikki to pet sit our cat, Joey. Nikki is really great with our moody cat. She is very good at figuring out what he wants! Whether it's following him around the house, playing with him, giving him pets, or giving him space, she can read his many moods. She is also great at giving us detailed info on her visit with Joey so we know how he's doing. We will happily have Nikki pet sit again.”

She did a great job giving them their meds and even brought her own feather toy to play with them which they loved. She sent us great updates each time and loads of pictures of our fur babies and they looked so happy, cared for, and having fun with her! We will definitely be using her again in the future and highly recommend her care!”
“Regan was great. She sent pictures, gave Goose a short walk for a bathroom break and stayed the entire time. She also went above and beyond to clean up some of the food Goose had strung about.”
About: I grew up around cats and dogs, and I've had my cat and my dachshund since I was 10 years old. I grew up in the middle east where I helped spay, neuter, vaccinate, and care for the many stray cats in our neighborhood. I'm a student at CU Boulder studying aerospace engineering and I am in the Navy Reserves. I love to relax and unwind around animals in my free time. I have looked after neighbors pets since I was little and I love to spend quality time and play with more energetic pets or just relax and unwind with the less social ones.
“My puppy still has lots of puppy energy, but is a little apprehensive about new people. She warned right up to Bethany and has been enjoying her midday visits to get out some of her energy.”
“Nina is a lovely person and has a great way with animals! She did everything I asked of and more, and took excellent care of my two cats while I was overseas. 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I've always had a passion for animals, and have been taking care of my neighbor's and friend's pet since I was in middle school. I have experience caring for all types of animals, including senior dogs, blind dogs, puppies, cats, and birds. I am currently a student and only in class 3 days a week, so I have ample time away from other responsibilities that I can spend giving adequate care to your pets. I also enjoy going on daily walks, so getting them outside won't be a problem. I will be attentive to your dogs when they are outside, ensuring that the yard is secure and that they don't leave it. I will also make sure the house is secured when I leave, and the pet is safe.
About: I have lived with at least one animal for as long as I can remember, and have pet-sat for at least 3 weeks every year for the past 4 years. I love to go for runs just as much as I love to hang on the couch with your furry friend and am happy to adjust my days to align with your animals' needs. I have experience and am comfortable pet-sitting multiple animals at a time. I currently work from home 8 am - 4 pm Monday-Thursday, and 8 am - 12 pm on Fridays. I occasionally work another job on Saturdays for 8-hour shifts, but not regularly. If permitted, I would be happy to stay with your furry friends during the days I work from home. This job does require that I take regular phone calls, though, so staying with animals that bark regularly throughout the day is less preferred. I am sure to follow all directions left by my clients and pay attention to detail to ensure their pet(s) and home are properly taken care of. I understand that all animals may require slightly different caretaking depending on their age, size, health, and personality, and work hard to tend to these nuances appropriately. I find it important for clients to return to a non-disturbed and clean space, and pride myself on leaving things as they were when I came.
“Adriane was wonderful! I needed someone desperately for the Thanksgiving holiday and she came to the rescue! She was excellent at communicating and updating me on anything. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat Bella in her hands!!!! I will definitely book her again!”

Aidan S.
“Aidan would be a wonderful care giver for your pet! He’s responsible, reliable, and pays attention to detail. He has always been very helpful in caring for our dog Sullivan and our cat Carolina. He loves all animals! A walk with Aidan means stopping any time he sees a dog that he can pet. He’s also an amazing artist and has done several pet portraits for his own pets as well as a few others that were special to him. I would highly recommend that you hire Aidan as your next pet sitter.”

“Are you looking for someone energetic and fun enough to keep up with your pet? Or sweet and cuddly enough to give your fur baby the love they deserve? Well then linden is your gal. She’s a responsible animal lover that would gladly treat your pet like her own. Whether just dropping in, going for a nice long walk, or taking them in for a few days, your pet will not be disappointed. Even my super shy rescue warmed up to her in an instant and she’s at the top of my list of people I trust with my pets.”

South Boulder pet parents share their Rover experiences
Abby was friendly and great with our dog. She provided great communication before and during our trip. She proactively made sure she knew all our dog's care needs and general stuff for dealing with our house setup. Overall warm and professional - will definitely reach out next time.
Thank you again Georgie! Mr B was so happy to have your company while Rocky and I were on our trip. I appreciate all of the great updates and photos as always! And thank you for the extra attention with the brushing and playtime, Mr B was looking very dapper & content when we got home! You’re the best!
Luke watched our three cats, two of which need medicine/supplements. We requested that he arrive during a specific time block since we have one cat who needs consistency or gets severe food anxiety. He stuck to the schedule as verified by our smart lock’s timestamps, which we appreciated. We came home to happy cats and no messes. He will send pics at your request. We recommended Luke for your pet sitting needs!
Luna is a wonderful pet sitter. She was very communicative and gave our cat lots of love and attention. We will definitely hire her again for future visits and we highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter that goes above and beyond just feeding and checking up on their pets.
