“I am so happy to have found Chris! My Australian Cattle dog puppy Finn needed to start socializing without me, getting used to strangers and other dogs. Chris is welcoming, super communicative, very accommodating, and we’re so excited to be part of his “pack” now. He is selective with his clients, which ensures a safe and fun environment for all. He sends a million pictures, gives each dog personal love and attention, asks all the right questions, and helps put my paranoid dog mom brain at ease! I’m a former canine massage therapist, kennel technician, vet assistant, and Rover sitter myself so I am picky. I’m thrilled to drive the 40 minutes each way to bring Finn to Chris’s doggy heaven! I highly recommend you consider reaching out to him for your doggy daycare and boarding needs.”

“This was my first rover experience and it was great! Ava was so great and super welcoming! My doggies had a great time and I would definitely be contacting Ava anytime I’m in the Denver area 🩷”

“Very accommodating for list minute booking and change in drop off and pick up times. Valisa and her son were outstanding with my hard headed bulldog. He came home tired everyday from playing with her dogs and was so excited to go back for another day. Will definitely use her again in the future, highly recommended to any one looking for a great sitter for their fur babies. Never was ever concerned that he wasn't being taken care of.”

About: Hi!☺️ I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family, not just pets.

I treat every pet I care for as if they were my own and make their safety, comfort, and happiness my top priority. I previously helped rescue and care for several animals with my family, and my husband fully supports my passion for animals. I’m very attentive and will provide frequent photo and activity updates so you can feel confident and at ease while your pup is in my care.

“This was a great experience. My Oso enjoyed his time. I was very happy with all the communication. The pictures the videos, the updated puppy report. I have future vacations coming up and definitely will use Elias again!”

“Anthony accepted my last minute request and was amazing! Richey is a bit iffy/scared of people he doesn’t know and always has his guard up until he can trust them and Anthony did a great job accommodating to his needs. He is truly a trustworthy and very nice person. Thank you for being awesome!”

About: Hi you guys! I have a passion for working with dogs so I would love to be around the lil babies all day! I have experience with dogs of multiple breeds, taking care of senior furbabies, upon taking care of puppies too:)! I love dogs of all sizes, the giant ones are the biggest babies of them all! I am self employed through Rover, so I am able to stay and care for furbabies all day everyday:)! I graduated school at the end of may and I thought Rover would be perfect since i love dogs of all breeds so much!!. I am available everyday, even holidays! So no matter how long your trip is, going from a couple days to two weeks or longer, i’ll be here to give my best care for your furbaby!! We have a wooden fence around the backyard. A friendly aussie shephard that loves to play with other dogs and keep them company! There’s always water available in the doggy water bowl i never let it run out. I take my dog out in the field every day so she always has somewhere to run around, just sniff and throw ball since we dont have grass in our backyard. I always feed the dogs on the schedule the owners feed them, i’m always on alert if they need to go outside and potty, I alwayss give them lovins and attention. I’ve just been around shorthaired dogs besides my own so there was never any need for brushing, if the dog needs to be brushed and sheds alot I can do that! I care deeply for dogs and treat them all like my own furbabies!
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have never lived without them. I adopted my dog 7 years ago and she is my best friend. We go on hikes together every weekend and walk daily. My dog has separation anxiety which has made me learn different techniques in this field. I have a background working with dogs and have a wide range of knowledge when it comes to breeds,ages, and different personality types. I understand to the fullest how nerve wracking it is to leave your dog with a stranger. I promise to treat your pet like one of my own and to ensure they have the best time during their stay with me. I am so excited to care for your pet! I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule so your dog will never be alone and I can easily fit your dogs schedule around my own! Whether that means frequent potty breaks or walks, or if your dog needs some basic training I got you covered. I have a walking trail right outside of my apartment with miles and miles of trails. Me and my dog Luna usually walk in the afternoons and have lots of potty breaks throughout the day. Depending on your dog's energy level we can go on multiple walks/jogs if needed.
“We needed last minute over the holiday doggy daycare for our goldendoodle Chewy. Hector and his dog Bruno were there for us. I got pictures and updates. Chewy was very tired from all the play time. We really appreciate the care he received.”

About: There has been a dog in my life since I was born, 2 in fact when I was just a baby. They were both large dogs and I was never afraid of them. When I was a teenager, we adopted a puppy and she was my life. I took it upon myself to train her the fun tricks that my childhood dogs never knew. Shake, speak, sit up. I also helped teach her the basics, potty training, sit, stay, lay down, come. Since then, my family has adopted 2 more puppies and I've helped train each of them. These dogs have been higher energy breeds like Border Collies and Aussies. Everyone in my family owns a dog at this point, except me right now. This means I seriously lack some dog time and am always up for helping with dogs! I don't currently own a dog due to not having a backyard. I spend more time with pets at parties than I do the people. I've always connected with animals more than humans. I am partially self employed in a rental business so I make my own schedule. I am single and own my own home so I have ultimate flexibility. I'm looking into making pet care a more full time opportunity so I am committed to the time and energy it takes to make sure the schedule works for everyone. Since I am self employed, if an emergency occurs, I can take care of it immediately and not be worried about an employer having a problem with this. I own a reliable car that is able to take even a few large dogs if necessary. I maintain your pet’s routine exactly as you outline, so their daily life feels familiar and stress-free. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, playtime, training reinforcement, and any special instructions. I’m attentive to signs of stress, discomfort, or boredom and adjust activities accordingly. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates, photos, and messages so you know your pet is happy and cared for. I love taking pet pictures!

“Jen and her partner are so great at providing a fun and safe daycare experience for our pup. They are very attentive and communicative, and our pup comes home happy and exhausted every time! Their backyard is perfect for dogs that like to explore. And their own two dogs are very friendly and playful :)”

About: I’ve had a dog for 10 years and two cats for another 10 years — all living together in perfect harmony. Taking care of them taught me patience, love, and how to understand the different personalities of pets. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I currently work from home, so I spend most of my time here and have plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m usually home alone, so having one of your dogs or cats around would be wonderful company — we’d help each other! Your pet will always have someone nearby to play with, care for, and give affection to. Mi hogar es tranquilo, limpio y amigable con las mascotas — un lugar seguro donde tus mascotas pueden relajarse y sentirse queridas. Como trabajo desde casa, paso la mayor parte del día aquí para cuidarlas y asegurarme de que estén felices, cómodas y bien atendidas. Sigo cuidadosamente las indicaciones de cada dueño y trato a cada mascota con el mismo amor y atención que le daría a la mía.

Thornton dog parents share their Rover experiences
This was our first time using Rover and we were so nervous because our puppy is high energy and only three months old. Jed met us outside and helped us with our things and then let us hang out while our puppy met other dogs and he supervised closely and kept us updated with adorable puppy pictures all day! He kept her safety/size in mind the whole time and slowly our worries faded away. Definitely reaching back out for more puppy play dates! 100/10

Christine has incredible animal energy! My pup Eloise is usually very anxious and terrified of new people — it normally takes her a full two days before she’ll even consider letting someone pet her. But with Christine? Eloise walked right up to her like they’d known each other forever. She was pawing for pets, climbed right into Christine’s lap, and was giving her kisses on day one! That is absolutely monumental for my shy girl. I got tons of adorable photo updates, and when I picked her up, Eloise was practically showing Christine off to me — doing happy twirls around her and just radiating joy. She clearly felt safe, loved, and understood. We will absolutely be back. Christine is truly something special!

Wow Ava takes her job very seriously, and it shows through every interaction as well as how much my dogs love her! I have some special care dogs, one being very nervous and one can be reactive. She handled them beautifully without any issues. They didn't want to leave her house to come home! She is extremely professional and for sure the highest quality care I have met from Rover.

Jennifer is extremely nice and caring person did good with my shy dog. Very informative on how everything went and very flexible with us on the time we needed. I definitely recommend Jennifer and will definitely use her again. I also got some extremely cute photos of my Nola. Thank ypu again Jennifer I appreciate everything it meaned alot more than you think 😊

Benjamin and Callie responded promptly to my booking. They treated my dog Coco very well, fed her, took her for walks, and always kept me updated with photos. I loved their service and would recommend them to anyone who needs pet sitters. I would definitely book with them again.

Anthony accepted my last minute request and was amazing! Richey is a bit iffy/scared of people he doesn’t know and always has his guard up until he can trust them and Anthony did a great job accommodating to his needs. He is truly a trustworthy and very nice person. Thank you for being awesome!
