“Margaret was perfect. She was very accommodating, easy to work with etc. It appears that our two cats liked her a lot and I think she liked them also. She sent several cute photos. She left the house very neat and clean. We were very lucky to find her on relatively short notice. We will certainly hire her again if our needs and her availability coincide in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals my whole life. I raised my own dog from puppy to 15 year old senior citizen and have been taking care of my friend’s and family’s dogs and cats for years. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk or a trail run, or your cat needs company while you’re away, I bring the same care and attentiveness to pet care that I bring to the hospital. I understand how important your pets are to your family, and I’m here to treat them like my own. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following special diets, and maintaining a calm presence with shy or anxious pets. I currently have a flexible academic schedule and I work hard to fit in pet care throughout the day. I am almost always available first thing in the morning and in the afternoons/evenings and my mid-day availability varies by academic term From walks to house-sits, I follow the simple tenants of 1)“treat every animal as if they were my own” and 2) “treat everyone’s homes with the utmost respect”. Pet owners know best what their animals need so my top goal is providing whatever care that may be, safely, and in the environment that best suits each pet and owner.
About: My mother is a veterinarian with her own practice, so I grew up around an abundance of animals and know plenty about caring for them. My career allows me to choose my own schedule, I don't usually have shifts longer than 5/6 hours long. This allows me to take dogs out for walks or to a dog park, or I can just go home and hang out with my cat. I have a large fenced in yard with access to woods, plenty of local trails for dog walks, local lake of your dog likes to swim. Dogs and cats in my home, but there's a good sized guest bedroom that is kept closed of from the rest of my home if you have a pet that is less friendly with others.
About: I have a dog and a cat, both are very friendly. I trained my puppy from 8 weeks old, and he is now a very sweet and calm 3 year old little man. I love dogs of all kinds, and many friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they are away. I have taken several training courses with my pup and can help teach your dog some basic skills too! I am a graduate student so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Typically I can work from home part of the day, and I rarely work weekends. Pet care is already part of my routine, and typically includes a morning, afternoon, and evening walk, potty breaks as needed, and plenty of playtime. I have a friendly dog who loves to play, but will match your dogs energy. My 11 year old cat prefers to be left alone and will likely not interact much. I am happy to bring my pup for playtime/walks at your house, or leave him at home if your dog prefers solo walks. I live in a two bedroom condo by myself, there are plenty of walking paths around, but no real yard. I don't like to do dog parks, as I have had some issues with aggressive dogs in the area and don't feel safe there, but love to take my dog on little hikes at places like Red Rocks and Shelburne Bay.
“Nora was an excellent sitter for my 2 dogs and cat. She was super patient with our puppy still in the potty training stage and accommodating to all of our pets needs. She always responded quickly to messages & sent plenty of pics and updates. Overall she was very friendly and a wonderful pet sitter, I would highly recommend Nora!”
About: I am a current medical student in the area who has had dogs around her for her entire life. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs of all breeds. I am responsible and quick in an emergency. I am also familiar with lots of walking trails in the area! I am a 4th year medical student with a pretty open schedule. Reach out with any inquiries and I will try to accommodate your needs! For pet sitting, I am available to stay at your home to keep your pet company as well as take them outside as often as needed. I am respectful, responsible, and professional in all spaces.
“Elizabeth was wonderful. She answered any questions I had and asked anything she needed/was unsure of. My dog Lexi was very happy when we returned and everything was great! Highly recommend!”
“Anesa is great. She and Dexter got along famously. We appreciate that she took him on a hike and on playdates with other dogs over the weekend. She also gave us periodic photo updates which were greatly appreciated. We'll definitely rebook the next time we need a sitter!”
“Sheila was fantastic with Gunner. He is my brother’s dog and was visiting for a few days, and we didn’t want to leave him alone while we all went out for the evening. He took to Sheila right away and was very content to see us all walk out the door. In addition to being perfect with Gunner, Sheila is responsive, reliable, and a pleasure to deal with. We would absolutely use her again and highly recommend her.”
“Charlotte provided super care to Chance and SnickerDoo including consistent communications and pictures for us. She also left our home clean and secure following our time away. Well Done!”
“We can't say enough about Adams and his wife! They take such great care of our dogs whenever we are gone and we are so grateful to have such loving dog sitters for Polly and Ajax! Thank you guys so very much!!!”
“Armani was amazing with our 1.5 year old havapoo! He is slow to warm up to new people, but by the end of day 1, he was already cuddling with her like he had known her forever. Armani texted us throughout the day with pictures and updates, and she treated him as if he was her own. Highly recommend. We will definitely use Armani the next time we are out of town.”
“James is an awesome dog and house sitter! He took the dogs on great walks and sent us some adorable pictures while we were away. We came home to two happy, calm pups and a clean, orderly house. Highly recommend!”
“Pam was AMAZING!!! So genuinely attentive and compassionate to our pup. Provided wonderful communication (and photos!) throughout our time away. Couldn't have been happier with the care provided.”
“Allaire was wonderful! Communicative and easy to work with. Her beautiful dog Baloo met our boys (1 dog & 1 cat) before the stay and everyone got along beautifully! I'd highly recommend Allaire and can't wait to have her stay with our boys again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, horses, cows, goats, fish, peacocks, etc. I’m very comfortable with animals of all temperaments. I was a competitive horse back rider, and during that time I took care of my stables other farm animals as well. Nothing phases me when it comes to animals! PLEASE DO NOT BOOK DOGGY DAYCARE UNLESS I AM ABLE TO WATCH YOUR DOG IN YOUR HOME 😋 I am currently working freelance so I am home most of the time. I have two dogs at home so I’m not able to do in my own home care! I have experience with many different animal personality’s and temperaments. I have cared for animals with anxiety, dog aggression ,food aggression, and separation issues. I am a major problem solver so I have yet to find an issue with a pet that I cannot resolve!

Kathryn M.
“Kate is kind, reliable, and does great with our high energy pup. We feel so lucky to have found her through Rover! Would book her again in a heartbeat (and have)!!”
Olive T.
“Olive is my go-to dog and cat sitter. I have two Labrador Retrievers and two Maine Coon cats. My labs love her--she stays overnight (and lets the dogs cuddle in bed with her, which is their preference), walks the dogs, plays with them, and feeds the dogs and cats according to schedule. Olive's mother is my vet--which leaves me to believe that Olive knows how to manage and handle dogs by osmosis! She is very dependable, leaves my home tidier than it was when I left, and communicates with me (texts and photos) while I am away.”

Grace M.
“Grace has a real passion for animals, especially dogs. She is an incredible dog walker, care taker, and sitter; she has plenty experience from having her own dog as well as taking care of others! In college, Grace helped some people we knew with their dogs. She went above and beyond to help take care of them, even practically owning of classmate’s dog because she didn’t have much time for him. Grace stepped in and would care for this dog day in and day out, prioritizing his needs and making sure he was cared for. All in all, Grace loves each dog as her own. You will not be disappointed!”
