“Ty and his family were so amazing to Elias. Our pup came back home happy and worn out hahah. If anyone knows Elias it’s super hard to wear him out. Thank you so much Ty for not only being great to our pup, but also keeping great communication and responding so quickly. 😊”


“Ashmira, Hunter and Nirvana are fantastic sitters! Our pup’s energy can be… a lot😅 They gave her plenty of exercise, attention and love. It was wonderful to come home to a happy, exhausted dog after a long weekend. I’d rebook in a heartbeat!”


“Our dog had a great time at Kimberly. We received a lot of updates and photos. It was our first time using a dog sitter and Kimberly made the experience seamless. She was also very flexible with the drop off and pick up. We will definitely come back ;-)”


“Jay is great with my pup Boone! He came home from boarding exhausted, which I take as a great sign. He loves having multiple buddies to play with at Jay’s.”



“Gayle came to the rescue & kept Mr. Brows when the previous sitter cancelled at the last minute. Mr Brows was happy & healthy when I picked him up... I definitely recommend her!!!”



“I had a parent health emergency that I had to attend to out of state & Tood was very helpful with helping me find care for my Siberian Husky in his home. He answered my texts promptly, scheduled a meet & greet within a half day & I felt goid about leaving my dog in his care. Todd seems to really understand dogs. My dog seemed happy to well cared for when I picked him up 6 days later. Thank you, Todd! We’ll be back!”


“I suffered a medical emergency while out of town and Kysseria and her mother went above and beyond. They agreed to keep our boys while I was able to focus on getting out of the hospital and healing. Our boys love going to their house and it is such a huge peace of mind to know they are well taken care of. Can’t say enough great things 🤍”


“Anna is the best! So sweet and so responsive and took good care of our Princess Zelda. Frenchies require a different level of care, and Anna did a great job with all the extra quirks.”


“Jacque was amazing! My dog Cooper is 12 years old with plenty of health issues and Jacque took the time to understand Coopers needs and make sure he was comfortable and happy. He’s not an easy dog to take care of but she treated him like he was her own. You can tell she loves animals and always happy to help. I highly recommend Jacque to watching your pup they’ll be in great hands!”


“Lilly was amazing while watching my dog Reeses. My fiance and I went to AZ for 5 nights to get married, and Lilly made it so that we weren't worried about Reeses at all. She sent a picture everyday with an update of how Reeses was doing. Lilly made sure Reeses felt like it was her home as well an was very patient with her. Before I decided to book with her, I wanted to make sure Reeses and her dog Luna got along so she agreed to meet with me at a dog park so the dogs could meet, and we could meet. Luna is wonderful with other dogs and took on the bigger sister role for Reeses which is exactly what she needed. I would definitely recommend booking with Lilly and I will be booking with her in the future.”


“Greyson and his wife took such good care of our senior dog, Miles. They were extremely flexible with us for a last minute booking and pick up/drop off were easy and convenient. They communicated well during my dog’s stay and kept me informed about what they did for the day, how my dog was feeling, etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with them in the future!”

“Napoléon was the happier dog with Matt ! We receive a lot of pictures, he had a lot of fun with the other dogs! It was my first time on a this app, and Ill ask Matt again for taking care of my little boy :)”


About: I've spent my whole life with a canine by my side, with the exception of my year away at college and a year when I lived with cats instead. Recently lost my best friend to cancer without warning, they say grief is love with no where to go and so I've turned to Rover as we are in a transitional period that does not allow for our own full-time friend but instead allows me to full-time love on others friends. Recently purchased our new 3000+ sq ft home with a back yard in a nice little suburban neighborhood. There's walking paths and green belts and if your friend is good at the park, we can even go visit some of the nearby dog parks on the long-hauls. My fiance & I eventually plan to bring a doggo of our own home again but in the mean time we look forward to hanging with yours. No stranger to special dietary instructions, picky eaters, and big personalities - as long as we aren't having inside accidents (the carpets are white) then we're happy to meet you! Need someone to come to you instead? You've got it. Willing to travel anywhere within the Denver Metroplex; Boulder to Fort Collins, Golden to Castle Rock, and every where in between - with enough notice we can make sure any furry friend is looked after and walkin'. I'm currently seeking full-time work so my schedule is open to hang with your pup all day! I may have random errands or things to do but if we are scheduled to be together, your pup is my priority. We have a fenced yard where your friend can hang in the sun of the morning or shade of the afternoon. We have a neighborhood with great walking paths & green belts as well as a short walk to some of the great city green areas. If your doggo is park friendly, we can jump in the car and go to the park for a romp or if they like water, maybe a lake day? The sky is the limit, and I'm happy to give a good rinse if we end up doing something stinky! I have a crate in-house that fits up to a 75 lb dog comfortably, if for whatever reason your friend cannot join me out of the house (which does happen, especially in the summer), your friend would be crated. The crate has a small water dish, though some do prefer we do not add water so it's up to you. My late friend got Bark Box for many years and was very picky about his toys so there's a good chance your friend will have a new toy here to play with, or perhaps the toy box will come up to play from the basement with the really playful friends! Our home is 3000+ sq ft with a basement and upper level; there are stairs so if your friend is mobile impaired and stairs are hard we may not be the right fit (though I'm always happy to carry smaller friends up/down if need be, I max about 35 lbs lift). There are doors on all of our rooms, these are likely to be closed if your friend is visiting. We try to keep trash cans up and off the floor with 85% of our cans covered/dogproof. If your friend is a trash diver please let us know so we can secure the other trash cans accordingly. Dog friends tend to get to sleep where they wish in our home, though if your friend has a favorite bed/soft place then I would welcome it into the house for their comfort.

“Kaitlin is simply wonderful. Our dog has bonded really well with her, and her two dogs. Kaitlin periodically updated us with pictures and texts during our dog’s fun stay with her. I highly recommend Kaitlin for taking care of your dog.”


“Victor is a great and kind person! He is the 1st person we message when going out of town. This is the 4th time Arya has stayed with him and we always feel confident, happy, and safe leaving her with him.”


“Jennifer was really attentive to Spark and took excellent care of him. Communication was excellent. I will definitely bring Spark back to her and I recommend Jennifer to any one that would like their pet to be treated like at home and with affection.”


“Glory was an excellent sitter for my dog Banjo. She was very communicative, sent multiple pictures daily, took him for walks, and let him cuddle on the couch! I definitely recommend her as a dog sitter!”


“Leo had a great time with Jed! He was extremely accommodating and has a great yard for the dogs to run around in. Leo still needs to be in his crate when there isn't supervision. When Jed was at work, he made sure to put Leo in his crate and came home to let him out and play, so he wasn't in his great for more than 3 hours. His dogs are wonderful and got along well with Leo. Highly recommend Jed if you want your dog to be well-accommodated and very sleepy when you pick them up!”


“Natalia and Felix were absolutely wonderful taking care of Koda, and we came back to a happy, well-exercised pup. They took cute photos during her stay, followed her care instructions, provided daily updates and quick communication, and they were so welcoming when we stopped by for an initial meet and greet. I'd highly recommend them.”

Felicity & Sean C.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Outstanding Dog Sitter – Truly One of a Kind! I cannot recommend Felicity highly enough! From the moment we met, it was clear she had a natural connection with dogs — warm, patient, and incredibly attentive. My dog Raj can be a little shy with new people, but he immediately felt comfortable and at ease. That alone speaks volumes. Throughout the entire stay, I received thoughtful updates, adorable photos, and even a few funny stories that let me know my pup was not just being watched — they were being genuinely cared for and loved. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable and kind hands. Felicity went above and beyond — from making sure routines were followed to giving extra belly rubs and long walks. When I returned, my dog was happy, smiling, relaxed (a tired dog is a good dog), and clearly had a great time. Honestly, I think he misses the extra attention and play time. If you’re looking for someone reliable, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, look no further. Felicity is a total gem and now our go-to whenever we need a sitter. I feel incredibly lucky to have found her!”

We had an awesome experience with Chris. Our two dogs had the time of their lives with the other dogs during their extended stay. Chris kept us in the loop and sent pictures daily which really gave us peace of mind. We are very happy to have found a safe, second home for our dogs!

Matt is great — couldn’t recommend enough! It was my first time having someone watch my dog Cedar who he didn’t previously know and it seemed like Cedar really enjoyed his time. Matt took him on lots of walks and sent lots of photos which helped put my mind at ease. He also took him in on more of a short notice which I really appreciated. You can tell that he knows a lot about dogs. Will book again and couldn’t recommend enough! Thanks Matt!

We were running late due to a transportation issue, but Elias was so kind to let us come late at night to do pick up. He was even out giving our dog a last minute walk! Our dog was clearly so happy with his time there that he even started to walk back into Elias' house instead of toward our car. Highly recommend!

Miriam is amazing as usual. She is one of the few people I trust my dachshunds with! One of my girls had back surgery years ago, and Miriam is so nurturing and great at adhering to care instructions! She is really amazing with fur babies. Not to mention, she keeps you updated and sends the best photos while sitting your pups. Millie and Reese are so happy (and worn out) when they spend time at Miriam’s. She does a great job at keeping them active, engaged and SPOILED!

Greyson and his wife took such good care of our senior dog, Miles. They were extremely flexible with us for a last minute booking and pick up/drop off were easy and convenient. They communicated well during my dog’s stay and kept me informed about what they did for the day, how my dog was feeling, etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to rebook with them in the future!
Josie is an amazing dog sitter! She instantly made us feel so comfortable and secure leaving our sweet pup with her. She sent so many pictures that I could really tell my dog was having a great time! Josie sent nightly summaries of all the potty breaks, feeding time, and activities for the day which was so helpful. We 100% would book with Josie again!
