About: I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was in high school, and I’ve never met an animal I couldn’t win over! I volunteered with the Humane Society of Boulder Valley for over a year and spent my time ensuring the dogs and cats there were as happy as possible, including walks, playtime, cuddles, and clean-up. Since then, I have pet-watched for many different dogs, cats, and rabbits. I have learned how to deal with dogs of many different personalities, including anxious, aggressive dogs. I’m currently a 1st year medical student with classes only in the morning, so I have plenty of time after classes and on weekends to come spend time with your pet while I study. I know how important it is for a pet to trust their caretaker, and I’m committed to earning your pet’s trust. This includes keeping their routine as consistent as possible and dedicating time to bond with them.

“Alexis C. was so wonderful to my kittie Tiger claw She sent pictures to me of the visits and fed and gave water as I requested and even established a rapor in the short time to a very skittish cat! I would request her again !!”


About: I've taken care of cats since I was little. I have experience of 21 years taking care of my cat but I also have experience with drop in visits for my friends and neighbors cats. No litterbox scare me ! I'm currently working full time in the call center. I have time on the morning before work and afternoon after 5pm. Currently I can't have a cat due to my living accomodations and that's why I would love to help other cat lovers to take care of their cats I know that each cat is different. I always try to read characters of the cats I'm taking care of and I'm always careful with doors to prevent any unauthorized cat field trips.


“Ozzy was an amazing sitter for my four cats! My girlfriend and I felt at ease while away visiting family knowing that he was checking in on our cats, and even giving my diabetic cat his meds. All the cats loved Ozzy and I would highly recommend booking with him!”



About: I work remotely so if you need i can make company to your pets and take them to potty. The services I offer are walking and home visiting to take care of the family's pets whenever necessary. The prices are negotiable so message me to discuss! I can deal pretty well with dogs and cats, I am more experienced with cats since I have 3 of my own, one with special needs. For house sitting I can work from your house. For pet care I can come over multiple times since I work from home I have a very flexible schedule. One of my cats is very old and special needs so I'm used to giving medication to a difficult pet, my cats go to the vet once a year and all their vaccines are up to date. I just can't offer services to big dogs.

About: With over 27 years of hands-on experience in animal care, I have dedicated much of my life to nurturing, raising, and understanding the needs of a wide variety of animals. From a young age, I was immersed in environments that required consistent, compassionate care for pets, developing a deep-rooted passion and natural intuition for animal welfare. Throughout the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in feeding, grooming, administering basic medications, and observing animal behavior for signs of distress or illness. My approach is always centered around patience, empathy, and attention to individual needs—ensuring that every animal in my care feels safe, loved, and well-cared for. I currently have a beloved fur baby of my own, who receives the highest standard of care and attention. This personal commitment reflects the level of dedication I bring to all animals under my supervision. Whether it’s routine care or emotional comfort, I pride myself on creating a nurturing and structured environment for every animal. As a lifelong animal lover and experienced caregiver, pets are an integral part of my everyday life. My home is not just a place for my own beloved fur baby—it's a welcoming, safe, and nurturing environment for any pet in my care. Because of my personal commitment to animal well-being, I’m home the majority of the time, which allows me to provide constant supervision, companionship, and routine check-ins throughout the day. When boarding with me, your pet will experience a comfortable, secure, and engaging home environment—both indoors and outdoors. Inside, pets enjoy a cozy, climate-controlled space where they are treated like family. I maintain a clean and organized home, with designated pet-friendly areas for rest, play, and feeding. Whether your fur baby prefers quiet time or interactive play, I tailor the indoor experience to meet their individual needs, including any special care routines or accommodations. Outdoors, your pet will have access to a fully fenced-in yard—perfect for safe exploration, exercise, and fresh air. The space is ideal for dogs who love to run, play fetch, or simply lounge in the sun. Supervised outdoor time is incorporated into the daily routine, ensuring plenty of opportunities for physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition, I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who can serve as a playful companion if your pet enjoys the company of others. However, I also understand that not all pets are social butterflies, and I am fully prepared to keep them separated to ensure a calm and stress-free environment for everyone. Whether your pet thrives on companionship or prefers their own space, I adapt to what makes them most comfortable and secure.

About: It began as I got my dog the I began walking my neighbors dogs one by one for different reasons and I realized I could continue that here I'm currently available 24/7 aside from the time I spend with my own animals and maintaining the small things about day to day life such as paying bills, eating meals, hygiene, grocery shopping, etc. When it comes to my own dog as well as my clients I must insist the dog remain on a leash at all times unless on private fenced in property, and the owner has given instructions.

About: My partner Erick and I have spent our whole lives having and caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, energetic dogs to the shy and skittish , and everything in between. We treat every pet like our own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. We work most days so we cannot board and stay in but we cannot stay the whole day. We can work out a time for drop-ins or walks any day of the week! We follow your pets’ routine closely. meals, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. One of us is always checking in, whether it’s for extra potty breaks, fresh water, or just a little extra attention when they need it.

About: I have two cats and one dog who I have taken care of since I was in elementary school. I'm very compassionate and alert to their needs and love to play with them and give them lots of love I am currently a 21 year old college student who attends University of Delaware. This is my third summer doing Rover. I had an amazing experience last summer and it was super fun! I will follow your guidance as to what your pets needs are and take the time to get to know your individual pets temperament. I will also make sure your pets have lots of fun! I'm currently home for the summer from college so I will have plenty of time to watch and play with your pets and meet your specific needs! I have three dogs and two cats who are very friendly and love other animals. I also have a fenced yard that your dog can run around in! I will also meet your specific needs for your pet.

“I really appreciate Alyson. She checked in regularly, sent pictures regularly, she asked questions for clarity and she genuinely cares about my pet. I will use her services again without a doubt.”


About: I've always loved dogs since I was little but never actually had one. On a drive up to my dad's job, is when my birthday wishes had finally come true. My dad and I had rescued my dog, Ebby, from a busy nearby highway and since that day my love for dogs has grown even more. All I've ever wanted to do was make them as happy as they made me. I've owned my dog for nearly 10 years now and our bond is still strong, even after my four years spent up at college. I look forward to walking a bunch of dogs using this Rover app and I am also willing to take them on little runs if it's okay with the owners!

“Andie has been so sweet with Oreo, and I would happily have her watch him again!”


About: I’ve always been a reliable and dependable pet helper over the years. Whether it’s going away on vacations, being stuck late night at work, or whatever other various issues keep owners from their dogs, I’ve been called upon to care for my closest friends and family’s best fur friends! I have a boxer myself, and she gets her exercise! We walk and play regularly, and she is such a good girl. I look forward to care for your pets the same way I do mine. Right now, Wed & Thu I’m free from 4-8, Sat 12-5, and Sun 10-2. I am a teacher, so as the school year comes to a close and summer heats up, I will adjust my availability during the week. I have experience with crate training as I’ve personally done that with my dog. Between play, walks, and meals, I will make sure your dog is cared for properly and with love.

Anna S.
“Anna and I met in college and were fast friends. When I visited her hometown, I met her childhood dog Benny and heard the stories of dogs her family fostered when Anna was young. We had been roommates for about a year when I proposed the idea of adopting a cat. Long story short, I ended up unknowingly adopting a traumatized, extremely shy and fearful cat named Dali, who had come from a hoarder home situation. Not only did Anna "not mind" that the cat I adopted was extremely difficult, she loved her immediately and worked to earn her trust and love, while respecting the boundaries my cat set. Then, she adopted her own cat Ollie, who is pretty much the complete opposite of Dali: energetic, hyper, and loves attention immediately. She, of course, has gone above and beyond in raising him up. The love and care she has for animals is palpable, and it's clear she has the empathy/ability to understand and respect a pet's needs. I could not recommend her more, I would trust her with my own cat in a heartbeat (and have before).”
