“Chris is great! He is very flexible and reliable, and every time my dog goes to his house he has the best time. Chris is so good about sending lots of pics and making sure that every dog is safe and having fun. He is always my number one pick for daycare and overnight stays, and I don’t see that changing. If I could give more then 5 stars I would.”

“Jacque was wonderful with my senior dog! She sent updates, and when I came to pick Thelma up she was in the best mood. It's very obvious how much Jacque loves dogs and treats them like her own. 10/10 would recommend having her watch your dog!”

About: I wake up at 4:45 and am out the door before 5:15, walking 4 miles by 6:30am (yes, very brisk pace). We then do a slower 2.8 mile walk at 7am (walking school bus). High energy breeds or dogs that require lots of movement will join me for another hour long walk in the evenings. I work from home and take many breaks for my own mental health. My back door is left wide open to a huge, fenced backyard and dogs come and go as they please. When I take my breaks (usually once an hour for 10 minutes) they will get to play, do a little simple training for healthy treats, and receive warm, calm affection. My yard is fully fenced with tall wood. Dogs have access to water 24/7. Dogs are leashed on all walks. I am skilled at walking multiple dogs and doing effective, patient, “no-pull” training.

“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 🩷”

“John and Chantal were incredible with my 9-week old puppy. They communicated clearly the entire day which was appreciated as I was nervous as a new puppy owner. They sent pictures, updates, and when I picked my dog up he seemed so happy and like he really loved his time with John & Chantal. Looking forward to rebooking with them; they are AWESOME!!! Thank you John and Chantal!”

“I had such a great experience with Yumiko! She was right on time, which I really appreciated, and was incredibly helpful from start to finish. She was so patient and caring with my puppy, which gave me total peace of mind. Her communication was excellent as well; she kept me updated and was very responsive. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and great with dogs!”
“Martha was awesome watching Theo for the day. She sent us updates throughout the day that gave us piece of mind he was doing great. She was also accommodating to his fear of storms. Will definitely be using Martha for our dog services in the future.”

“I have a VERY high anxiety special needs dog. He was already warming up to Nyssa at the meet and greet and has now been multiple times- he LOVES it there! I am so grateful to have someone who treats my dog like her own and is gentle and patient. I also love the pictures and updates. I would recommend Nyssa to everyone! Roland can’t wait for his next visit 🐾”

About: I have had 2 different breed dogs, a pit bull and a German Shepard. Our family loves dogs and appreciate their needs and care and time they need. My kiddos love all animals and in particular dogs. Let us care for them while you and your family enjoy time away. I work from home early mornings and late evenings. My day is free and open to care for your amazing dog. Since we cannot have a dog of our own for now, my kiddos will love yours like theirs. We live in a friendly and calm neighborhood where I am able to constantly give your outside time and walks. My kiddos love dogs and we get our pup fix when we get to enjoy yours :)
“Hector was very good at sending pictures and communicating about what Enzo was doing throughout the day. Enzo had a great time playing with Hector's dog, and he was well taken care of.”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, animal-loving sitter with a genuine passion for caring for pets like they’re my own. I have two dogs at home, so daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and lots of love are already a big part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Because I have hands-on experience with my own dogs, I’m comfortable with different temperaments, energy levels, and routines. Whether your pup needs long walks, extra playtime, or just some cozy companionship, I’m happy to adjust to their needs. I also live with my boyfriend, so there are always two attentive and caring people in the home. That means your dog will never be left without supervision or care, even if one of us steps out, the other is there to make sure everything runs smoothly. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like part of the family and keep you updated so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away!
About: I genuinely enjoy caring for dogs and love being around them! I am attentive to individual needs, will follow instructions closely and keep owners updated as much as you want! I work from home full time so I have flexibility in my schedule and have plenty of time to take attentive care of your pup(s)! I can provide multiple potty breaks, daily walks, feeding as directed, and trips to the dog park. My partner (M) and I own a home with a fenced in yard as well as a big park across the street that will give your pups plenty of outdoor activities. I don’t have any pets in the house currently so your pup(s) will have plenty of love and attention! My partner will be home most of the time so please note, you pup(s) are ok with a male being around.

About: I have been loving on pets for the last 8 years. I have stayed at clients homes anywhere from 1night - 6 weeks. I believe every dog has their own unique personality that deserves to be understood. I take pride in taking time to learn each animals needs/wants and how to best approach them. I love hiking, walking, and being outside with pets and I have a large yard! I love pets like they are my family and my goal is to always make them feel like they are on vacation too. I'm currently self-employed and enrolled in online classes for the summer so I have all the flexibility to care for your furry friend. Pet/ home sitting is my first priority, so I schedule my week around your pet's care. I have a list of questions I ask about how to care for your home when you are away. Not only for your pets, but any deliveries, trash, or errands that need to be taken care of while you're away. If your dog is the active type, I love being active with them. Whether that be walks, hiking or playing fetch in the back yard.
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 also have experience with basic training and caring for rescue animals. My love and dedication to animals has never changed. 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. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member—you can trust they’ll receive plenty of love, attention, and care! i am a stay at home wife currently, i have no kid's. i have technically everyday available since i am home everyday while my husband is sometimes home. i have a pretty big apartment where they can roam around freely but can also be caged ( if you would like ) I make sure i clean deeply doggy in my home or not since i kind of am a germaphobic when it comes to my home doggy is free to make the biggest mess ever but i will always have a deep cleaned home for safety 🥰
About: For walks and drop-in visits, I’m currently in my last year of grad school and have availability several days during the week to care for your furry friend. I usually have morning availability before classes, but feel free to reach out about early afternoons as well—I can often find some time in or around your preferred schedule to check in on your pup. I’m also always happy to meet beforehand so we can make sure your dog feels comfortable and gets all the care and attention they need. For doggy day care in our home, we focus on creating a calm, comfortable space where dogs feel right at home. We usually care for just one dog at a time so they get lots of attention and a relaxed environment. Occasionally we’ll host two dogs if we already know them individually and feel confident they’ll enjoy each other’s company. If you’d prefer your pup to have one-on-one care, just let us know and we’re happy to keep our calendar open just for them. We have a spacious fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, or relax outside. We also have a friendly 2yo Australian Cattle Dog Mix who enjoys having company and is happy to play if your pup likes socializing.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 7+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own lab, Roxy, through every stage of life, from adulthood through the senior years. I also have experience supporting dogs with mobility challenges, including senior dogs, amputees, and dogs undergoing cancer treatment and chemotherapy. I’ve dog-sat a variety of breeds and personalities, from energetic dogs like Australian Shepherds and Corgis to laid-back companions like Pugs and French Bulldogs. I understand that every dog has different exercise, enrichment, and comfort needs, and I tailor care accordingly. Your dog will stay in our spacious single family home with access to a semi-fenced backyard and plenty of room to relax. I work from home, so I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and monitoring senior or medically complex dogs. Having cared for a dog through cancer treatment, including oral chemotherapy, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels. I intentionally host only one client’s dog(s) at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention and care. Your pup will have the company of two dog-loving adults in the home, and there are no children. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy, a couch cuddler, or needs a little extra support in their senior years, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pup! 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide regular supervision, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Because I only host one client’s dog(s) at a time, your pup receives plenty of attention and care rather than being one of many dogs in a busy boarding environment. My schedule is flexible, making it easy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine. Your dog will stay in our spacious 2,400 sq ft home with access to a semi-fenced backyard, many nearby walking trails/dog parks, and plenty of indoor space to relax. There are two dog-loving adults in the home and no children. I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, amputees, and dogs undergoing cancer treatment and chemotherapy. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, and adapting care to your dog’s individual needs. For safety and personalized attention, I only accept one client booking at a time.

Chris is absolutely outstanding! I feel so safe leaving my pup with him, knowing he is getting so much exercise and attention. I know my pup will be safe and so well taken care of! The plethora of pictures also help to know your pup is doing well throughout the day. My pup struggles to pace himself throughout the day, and Chris does a wonderful job helping to ensure he does not over exhaust himself. Thank you, Chris! Looking forward to sending Goose for years to come!

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 😊
