About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life as well! I’ve also currently got three boys myself! A frenchie, a Yorkie mix, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback! So I’ve got a wide variety of skill when it comes to the size of your pup! Ive got plenty of experience handling different sized buddies! And with my experience in the veterinary field so your furry best friend is gonna be in good hands. It would fit in perfectly with my week! I’m pretty much free nearly all the time and if not I’ll make sure I can squeeze in some time! I’m very careful and I make sure I get a full written out detail of what’s expected of me. I’ll guarantee that your pup gets the best care. My boys are all very well taken care off! They get special food and have free rein of the yard. They also have a pool for the hot seasons so they can get their swim on!! I also make sure to keep my place cool or warm depending on the weather to ensure that they’re all good. Your pup will never worry in my hands!
About: I have over 10 years experience working with all types of different animals, and 6 years experience professional. I grew up on a farm, everything from peacocks and guineas to horses and cows, cats dogs and more! I absolutely love every and all kinds of animals, and can't wait to take care of yours :) P.S. My partner and I have started house and pet sitting together! He has his own Rover profile, which I am also a part of, so we’re combining efforts to provide even more care and flexibility for your pets and home. If you prefer, I am still available to sit on my own as well, just let me know what works best for you! I have open availability, I work fully remote! Sometimes I will be away for trips / concerts and will mark off my calendar accordingly! Otherwise I am fully free to house / pet sit :) I take care of someone else's pet as I would my own, but of course would treat their pet the way they want me to treat them.
“Victoria was amazing and kept me informed and sent me pics of Garfield. I truly appreciated that as it was our first time being separated for that length of time. I’m sorry that it took him so long to warm up to her, but I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely request Victoria in the future!”
About: Hi! I am learning how to train dogs. 🐕Currently, I am taking a course on training where I’m learning about dog body language and cues. 🐩My plan is to eventually start a dog camp where I train and socialize dogs off leash to give them friendship with other dogs and adventure. 🐩If you’re interested, please let me know. Otherwise, I’d also love to walk your dog separately and sit for them while you’re away.😆 I am focusing all of my time on dogs right now, so I’m very much available for whatever you and your pup need. Please let me know if you’re interested in regular walking or check-ins during the day. Since I have plenty of time, I can walk your dog, play with them in your yard and cuddle them on your couch. 😌I am comfortable with more than one dog as well.
About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life, and currently own two, high energy, pups. I come packed with love and patience for your fur baby. I have a calm demeanor, but bring the fun, and will treat your pet with the respect and kindness you’d hope for. I work from home and make my own schedule. If I’m house sitting, I will be available for your pet the entire time. I do have scattered meeting throughout the day, and will work around my schedule. I give my dogs two walks a day. I can fit yours in at those times, or the times that work best for you. If I’m house sitting, I will stick to your dog’s schedule.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, even training them. But I have worked as a vet assistant for 2 years at Countryside Animal Hospital in Fort Collins. During this time, I have helped many dogs through emergencies, so I have experience in keeping dogs calm and happy, as well as when to take them to the vet. I am currently looking for work, so I am very open to every kind of animal and care. This includes house sitting for a whole week, early mornings or late nights. Even I try to care for any client's pets as though they are my own, and their own being. Each deserves to be treated in a specific way that works for them. I will change my approach to each pet in my care. I also keep my clients' homes better than my own. This is not my home, so I take care to keep everything clean and tidy.
About: I have owned many cats and small dogs ever since I was little, and I always wanted to play with them! Growing up, I wasn't sure how to take care of them properly, but I have always loved animals, and I wanted to own more as I got older! My sister often entrusted me to help take care of (and try to train) her bigger dogs while she was away, so I got to see what it was like to take care of them, too. Currently, I also own a cat and two guinea pigs. I currently take online college classes, so my schedule is open, and I am willing to commute to wherever I am needed. I am hoping to get part-time or full-time work on Rover in order to pay for schooling! I try to clean my guinea pigs cage as frequently as possible, about 1-2 times a week, and bathe them just as often. My cats litter box is also cleaning at the same rate. I feed my guinea pigs every morning, and my cat gets fed a little bit every morning, afternoon, and evening. Although I do keep a lighter schedule on my own pets, I would be willing to adjust to whatever need you and your pets may have!
About: I have been caring for dogs since I was young. I kept my family dog in check with all his medicine and up to date with his hygiene and wellbeing. Now I have spent my college years learning about animals and their behaviors, as well as assisting in vet offices. I am on break for the summer and will prioritize your pet as if they are my own, only wanting the best for their quality of life. You can be assured that your pet will be cuddled and cared for. While caring for pets at their home, I will acknowledge and honor their territory and their routine. I will be attentive to their habits and get to know how they prefer to live, and try to offer as much comfort to change as possible for them.
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I bring years of experience in caring for dogs and other pets. Growing up, I had two dogs, one of whom was a trained service dog, both of whom sadly passed away when I was 12. Today, I am the proud owner of two energetic young dogs, Bleu (2 years old) and Frankie (1.5 years old), as well as a social and playful 1-year-old cat who loves interacting with both dogs and people. I understand how important your pets are, and I would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies as you would, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve while you’re away. Let me help provide you with peace of mind, knowing your pets are in great hands. Contact me today to discuss your pet care needs! I am currently a full time student at front range community college, but I make time for the furry friends! My schedule is very open. I have a fenced yard with two furry dogs and one fluffy cat. I do daily walks as well as training to stimulate their mind.
About: I have been pet/house/baby sitting for the past 5 years for numerous families across Colorado. I have experience with large dogs, horses, puppies, cats, and even chickens. I can walk them, stayed over night, adjusted to different needs for different animals, and many more. I personally have seven large dogs, and four indoor/outdoor cats. So I know how to handle a chaos. I help feed, groom, play, and walk my dogs all the time. In other peoples homes, I care for each pet with love, and attention. I make sure they are in a clean enviroment, are fed, and are shwon the upmost of my attention! I care for others pets the way I would care for my own.
About: I’ve been an animal person my entire life. I got my first pet “Charlie” a shihzu when I was 14. I did everything for that dog and even paid for his surgery out of my own pocket when he was ill. Since then I’ve worked and volunteered for multiple dog shelters in CA and have worked at the wild animal sanctuary and lil buckaroos petting zoo in CO. I have experience helping and looking after various animals including exotic ones but mainly dogs and cats. I currently take care of at home a 6 cats, 3 dogs, a parrot, skink, and 2 miniature horses. You can be confident in the fact I can handle almost any pet that you have. I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time for anyone’s pet needs. I do of course have daily tasks at home but those are flexible. I cannot board any animals at my home for I have too many animals and it would be too risky. I would never put an animal in any potential danger. I can take care of your animals at your home just the same though
“Katie was so wonderful with my cat, Charlie. She dropped-in and made him feel so loved and cared for. She messaged me and sent pictures to keep me updated as well. It is clear she has a love and passion for animals of any kind. I highly recommend her for your needs!”
About: My pet care is that I want to be able to build a connection with whoever I’m taking care of because they’re also my friend and someone great to be around !!

About: Hii! I have been around animals all my life, my family has owned dogs and cats to geckos and turtles and many in between! I have volunteered at a dog rescue for the past two years giving me experience with anxious dogs, and I also worked in boarding at an animal hospital, so I have experience with pets who have many different types of medical conditions and I can confidently care for them! I am also going to college for a degree in wildlife so I definitely know about animals and what they need to thrive!

Taylor M.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Taylor is amazing! She’s been walking my two senior dogs for over a year now, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better. She’s always punctual, incredibly loving, and has such a gentle, caring way with them. I’m pretty sure my dogs get more excited to see her than they do to see me! Knowing they’re in such good hands brings me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend her more Taylor is truly one of a kind!”
Melissa M.
“Melissa is obsessed with her dogs in the best way! She takes them on multiple walks per day. She thought me only taking my dog out twice a day was not enough times (it's plenty for my dog lol). She spends more time with them than anyone else. She understands them and their feelings. Leave her alone with dogs for too long and she will create a whole new language only she and the animals know and understand. I wish I was exaggerating on that one. You will literally never meet someone more obsessed with dogs in my opinion.”

She never complains about pet hair and we hear about her pack of dogs at home and her sweet little Millie all the time. She loves animals and you can tell by how they interact with her. I trust my babies with her 100%!”
