About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! New to rover but have done multiple overnights with dogs & love walks! I have two doggies of my own, and I babysit frequently so I am very comfortable being around different dogs. I’m currently a graduate school student! I attend classes Mondays & Wednesdays until 2pm and have online courses Thursdays 8-10am. Aside from that I babysit which is very flexible so I have lots of time to walk any pups in need :) I love going for walks and being active! I have a large golden doodle and a small shih tzu and have cared for dogs of sizes in between, so I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes!
About: I grew up with pets my entire life and have always loved having a furry companion around! I am excited to take care of your best friend while you are away! I currently have two dogs of my own, and have been working on training my new puppy, so I would be happy to continue a training program with your dog while you are away. I enjoy taking the dogs for walks and hikes near Denver, especially around red rocks! I am self employed and have a very flexible schedule to fit all of your pets needs! I can be available days nights and weekends. I have a large fenced yard and a doggy door for my two fur babies. We kennel our puppy when we are away but our senior dog is allowed to do as he wishes. I feel that it is important to always follow all instructions given by the owner as all pets are unique.
“Cora took an amazing care of our cat. From start to finish, she was professional and incredibly attentive. We received regular updates with photos, which gave us peace of mind since it was the first time we left our cat for five days. Our cat was well cared and comfortable. We highly recommend Cora to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. We’ll be booking with her again!”

“Haley was great with all my cats for their drop in visits. She took care of their litter boxes, gave them wet food and attention. She did need a reminder on the night of the last drop in visit booked, but was responsive and apologetic for not stopping by yet that day. She immediately headed over too.”

About: I have been taking care of my Australian shepherd since I was twelve years old. I've been grooming her, walking her, training her, and feeding her since I was a child. Throughout my life I have gotten two more dogs and many more animals that I have loved taking care of. My college classes have all been online so I have had plenty of time to be at home and spend time with my three dogs. At my home I have three dogs. Two that usually keep to themselves but one Husky that loves to play. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of room to run around, as well as cages to crate dogs if needed.
“Karyn is attentive to my senior dogs needs. She always gives me an update and remains flexible to the changing care of our dog. We appreciate the responsiveness and prompt communication from our pet sitter when we are away!”

I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about making every dog feel safe and happy. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the week.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was a teenager. Pets that belonged to my sister to pets that have belonged to my neighbors. I have experience feeding and walking dogs. I'm currently in between jobs at the moment, but that'll change in a little while. So, take advantage while you can. Of course, when I do get a job, I'll still make time to care for your pet! I'm always dependable to feed your pet on time and walk your pet for however long is needed. I also enjoy playing and interacting with your pet.
About: I have been raised with a pet by side. When I have born we had two brittany spaniels that have since passed on. In 8th grade, after they passed, we adopted another puppy brittany. A year later, we adopted another, to have our current pair of brittanys. So I have experience raising puppies as well. I play with them outdoors and indoors, brush them, clean up their poop, bath them, feed them, and train them. They also get taken on walks at the local forest preserve for stimulation. I have experience in caring for fish and snakes. Between dogs, I had my cat to keep me company. She is solely my cat, so she got the same attention as the dogs, plus I bought her toys, treats, litter, and food. Outside of my dogs I have pet sit goldens labs, goldendoodles, springer spaniels, and many other breeds. As in my headline, I don't think any animal is low maintenance. That just means the pet isn't getting the care it deserves. I had my cat at my dorm first semester, and I fed her breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I made sure to play with twice a day and we played birds on the tv for stimulation as well. I had a weekly schedule to brush her twice a week, and clean the litter box every Sunday and Wednesday. At home I would alternate playing with my dogs, training, and brushing them whenever possible. I can play indoors and outdoors. I can take the animal for walks. Clean up any potential messes, such as muddy dogs or if a cat has a hairball. I can accompany senior pets that need help eating. I can brush the animal. And feed them, and do basic training.
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. I have also grown up raising birds, cats, and rabbits. I had my first pet-sitting business when I was just 11 years old. I am a current dog and cat mom. I aspire to be a dog trainer and have my own business one day. I have successfully trained my own dog in a variety of different skills and I am eager to gain even more knowledge to work towards my career. I have 3+ years experience working in a dog daycare/boarding facility. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and all temperaments. I also have experience working with dogs with special needs. I just moved to the area and I am currently looking for a full-time position in the animal care field. In the meantime, I am looking to find work through Rover to stay caught up on finances. I do plan to continue using Rover for side-work after finding a full-time job. I also believe it could help me gain experience towards my career goals. My schedule is very open at the moment. I take my dog on walks every evening and have training sessions for an hour every day. Since I live with other people currently, I can only pet-sit in clients’ homes. I do have a very friendly 5-year old doodle who loves to play with other dogs, so I can always bring him along to keep your pet company. I follow my clients’ instructions to the tee whether regarding potty schedules, feeding schedules, bathing, walking, playing, training, etc. I can also do any additional services if need be while caring for your pet at your home.
“Ivy did a great job taking care of our 3 cats. She played with them and gave them food and treats every day. She also took the initiative to cover up furniture that was getting scratched. She was also willing to accommodate special requests.”

“Jill did such a fantastic job watching our two kitties and really went above and beyond. She put up with a lot of chaos on our end in the days leading up to the first sitting service (Sadly our dog passed away unexpectedly, then the impending bad weather forced us to delay travel and change dates). She was flexible and understanding. We also came home to a cleaner house. Seriously...Jill tidied up and took out the kitchen garbage! And took our bins to the curb. That was so kind of her, especially since things were tough before our travel with the passing of our dog. We will definitely work with Jill again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I’ve got my first one when I was 5 years old. Throughout the years, I’ve gained a ton of experience taking care of all dogs. As an owner of 3 dogs (2 small. 1 large) I’ve definitely have had my fair share of doggy cuddles, play time, walks, and lots love! I’m currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule. I am a student, but because my class schedule is very spread out, I have lots of free time to take care of any furry friends! In your home, I will implement any rules you have for your dog. I will also establish to you dog that I am a trustworthy person as I will slowly introduce myself to your dog to make sure they feel safe with my presence!
Sycamore dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kamron was great! My husband and I were away overnight for a friend's wedding and so we had her do check-ins every few hours. She sent pictures and was great with communicating. She was also great during the meet-n-greet with our dog, which is usually when he goes the most berzerk with meeting a new person! I would definitely book her again.

We’ve used Mikayla before and were happy to book her again for drop-in visits — and she did a wonderful job, once again. She’s reliable, communicative, and clearly great with our dogs. Mikayla is easy to work with and consistently follows instructions, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We truly appreciate her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

Thank you so much Jetta! I enjoyed all the pics and the check in details for the visits! The pups really enjoyed having you and I’m grateful to have had someone I could trust stop in to take care of my pups while I was away during the day!!!! I would definitely book you again in the future!
