Dog Sitting Timnath

About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life and have owned several dogs over the years. I currently have two cats, so I understand the daily responsibilities of feeding, cleaning, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. While I’m newer to pet sitting professionally, I am dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I will treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own two cats every day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide reliable drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and companionship. I understand the importance of consistency and will make sure your pets receive the attention and care they need while you’re away. I treat every pet and home with respect and care. I always follow owners’ instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any special needs. I pay attention to pets’ behavior and comfort levels to help them feel safe and secure. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I will provide updates and photos whenever requested.

“Wendy saved us from having to leave our pups at a kennel. The comfort of knowing that our dogs were able to stay home in an environment they know and can be relaxed in made our need to travel that much easier. Wendy did an amazing job in short notice as we had to leave for a family emergency. She came right over to meet our two dogs and discuss their every day needs. With requirements for medications and older dogs Wendy was very detailed and noted everything to ensure proper care. I will happily be looking to her for our future dog sitting needs and know that we can be worry free with them in her care. Thanks you Wendy for a great experience.”

“Kaylin is super sweet and attentive with my cat! I would definitely recommend her to my friends. She sent lots of pictures which I really enjoyed.”

“Becca took wonderful care of our cat, Piper, while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease knowing Piper was in such good hands. She kept the litter box clean, made sure Piper had everything she needed, and spent quality time giving her the attention and affection she loves. It was clear that Becca genuinely cared for Piper’s well-being. We’re so grateful for her help and would absolutely trust her to watch Piper again. Highly recommend Becca to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!”

“Laura took great care of our two senior pups, while we were away for the weekend! She was very responsive during booking, and she sent us great pictures and updates during drop ins. We felt at ease on our trip, knowing our dogs were in good hands!”

About: I have experience with puppies and kitties and have also cared for those in their golden years. I looked after a senior dog that had congestive heart failure and would give that dog medications daily. While watching your pets, I love spending time with them doing simple training, either teaching them manners or keeping them from peeing in the house! I'm switching jobs so not working right now but would love to spend my time working with your pets. I'm free in the afternoons after 12 into the evening until 8. I'm not able to work Sundays. I would only be able to watch over your pet at your home. I live in a small apartment and feel like most pets like the safety of their own home while their people are gone!

“Absolutely wonderful, super sweet to my new puppy. Made sure my pup wasn’t anxious with being in a new kennel and had all the love while out playing.”

William S.

“Loved Ashley. She was dependable and good with the cats. I will definitely use her in the future.”

Andrea S.

“Shelby is wonderful! My little Yorkie took to her immediately. She did an hour drop-by visit to exercise and play with him while I was out for the evening. When I got home, he was much more relaxed than usual, no excess energy from missing his evening routine. Would definitely have Shelby over again!”

Lois M.

“Devin was a great sitter for our dog. After losing two pups in a three month span we were very worried to leave one dog alone. Devin made us feel comfortable that he was well loved while we were gone!”

About: I have had pets my entire life and have also pet sit for friends in my hometown. I have a deep love for animals, and I spent my summer volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center! I am a full time student at CSU. I have classes Monday-Friday, but they tend to be spread out and I have time to feed or let out animals as needed. My classes end pretty early so I am free to stay at the house/apartment with pets in the evenings. I am not able to bring any animals into my residence hall, but I am more than happy to hang out with them in the owner’s home or to go on walks!

About: When I walk into a new space with new faces, I walk past them all to greet the furry friends first. In the company of other animals is my happy place. My schedule is currently flexible and open, hours, weekends, and holidays. I am available for short notice stays or visits as well as extended stays. I am currently available for all services needed in client homes, whether that is over night stays or just a visit for a walk, I am open to working through your individual needs.

“Jasmine was great about getting me photos of my shy kitty. I could tell that she'd been well cared for. I'd be happy to have Jasmine back again.”

Kathy M.

“SO GREAT! 😀 I had all the confidence and comfort that my other babies were being taken care of and loved on so much! Would 100% recommend Olivia!”

Nicole C.

“Emily ensured our pet had adequate love and time with a human while we were out of town. So happy to have someone so understanding and willing to give my animal love.”

Matthew M.

“Brayden is AWESOME!! Just finished our second booking together, he is super kind, responsive, and takes great care of my cat. Can’t recommend enough!”

Destiny C.

“I really appreciate the time that is taken to just be around so my pet doesn’t have to feel alone when I’m unable to be here. Kathy takes the time to help with that. I really like the pictures because it helps ensure that the pet looks and feels OK. You can tell when they’re happy and my kitty is happy when Kathy is there. Just having that positive presence is good for pets health when their person is away.. . If you want a positive presence for your pet then Kathy would be a great sitter for you too!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love helping them stay happy, healthy, and safe. I've raised my own dogs for over 15 years—all from puppies—and have provided pet care for family and friends throughout that time. I've spent years learning canine body language, assessing behavior, and working alongside professional dog trainers. I have extensive experience with reactive dogs and understand how to safely and confidently meet their needs during walks and daily care. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, in training, a senior, or has special needs, I'm happy to adapt my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. While I'm not a veterinary professional, I worked in veterinary diagnostics for nearly 10 years, giving me a strong understanding of animal health and behavior. I'm comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, can provide basic first aid if needed, and have experience caring for senior pets and those with medical needs. One of my own dogs struggled with severe anxiety, and through patience, training, and consistency she grew into a calm, happy companion, giving me firsthand experience supporting dogs that need a little extra understanding. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own, following your routines closely so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care for your pets. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting on both weekdays and weekends after 10:00 AM. I'll always communicate clearly about my availability and make every effort to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines or training. During walks, I prioritize your pet's safety by paying close attention to their body language, avoiding situations that may cause stress, and ensuring they're secure at all times. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Because I have a reactive dog at home, I don't offer boarding or doggy daycare. This allows me to give my full attention to your pet while they're comfortable in their own home.

About: Hi! I’m Adina and I’m a 25 year old Grad student at CSU! I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, horses, and reptiles/amphibians and more in my family and I loved them all from the bottom of my heart. I guarantee that your pets are in good hands because I’ll care for them like they’re my own! I currently have two cats and a leopard gecko :) I’m currently working part time in between school classes, but am more than happy to work out a schedule that works for all parties involved! Please let me know if there are specific behaviors/habits your pets have that I should be mindful of. I want to make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible, so the more I know about them the better prepared I can be!

About: About Me I'm a dog lover that does not have a dog of my own (for now). I have loved dogs but am at a period in my life where I don't want a dog of my own because of my current living layout, so I am looking for other pooches to pamper. Your dog will feel right at home in my care, and I will make sure that they have a good time while you are away. I also look after cats and other animals, as I am not a dog-purest, and I can equally pamper kitties, birds, reptiles and other animals alike. Being away from an animal can be stressful for you too, so I will keep you updated to our adventures so you know that your loved one is in good hands with me! My partner Sarah is also a Rover sitter, and we support each other and our clients - if I'm ever running late, have an emergency or a last-minute meeting, we occasionally help each other out to make sure that the pets in our care are handled no matter the situation - so booking with us is like a two-in-one! Her profile can be found here - https://r.rover.com/h8Ncnf Schedule I work pretty flexible hours in IT, but I do work on campus. I do online school with minimal in-person classes when necessary, so I have plenty of time to check in our your beloved pets during the weekdays and weekends. I may need to attend some meetings in person, as well as be in person some days during the week. I will also need to stop by and check on my own kitties during the day. Housesitting Schedule For housesitting, the traditional arrangement is the overnight in your house and one to two drop ins during the day - a lunchtime drop-in for central Fort Collins only and a late afternoon/early evening drop in for all clients regardless of location - therefore, pups will need to be independent for 6-8 hours throughout the day (depending on client needs and location) between the drop ins and settling in for bed. Traditionally they will be fed before I leave in the morning, at the lunch drop in where needed for pets on a three-a-day schedule (only available if located in Central Fort Collins), and at the early evening drop in, and I can be flexible around medication schedules. Some evenings I will have events, such as a late work meeting, date night with my partner, or dinner out with a friend, but I try to keep them to a few days a week when I am sitting. For a period in the evening I will stop by my home to restock supplies or change out clothes, grab dinner, feed my own kitties, run errands or attend to work tasks. House sitting also includes two twenty minutes walks for leash trained pets, weather and air quality permitting - high energy clients can book additional walks as needed. Dogs without yards will also get short potty breaks on leash. Please make sure pups have indoor entertainment and play options I can use in the case weather or air quality prohibits outside play. Rover allows up to 12 hours a day during sitting away from the home, to follow employment laws (unless paying for the constant care charge - listed in the Rates category). If I don't need that full-time away, I am happy to spend more time in the house and work from there, but this is the traditional suggested time Rover sets for overnight services. *If you are outside the urban areas of Fort Collins, I am not be able to provide lunch drop-ins on days I'm working in person due to driving time. See the additional information section below for more about out-of-Fort Collins bookings and gas charge information* I'm also willing to spend more time during the day with guests that prefer me to stay at my own place overnight, as this is not an uncommon preference for those with smaller apartments or no guest room. Due to health reasons, I cannot use a couch in replacement of a bed, so please make sure a bed is available. Please let me know your preferences and I can be flexible. HOLIDAYS Please understand that I do not work most major US holidays, as my family is not in town so I travel to see them. On holidays where I am home, a holiday rate applies and is non-negotiable. How Rover Determines Extended Stay Charges for Housesittings Please note that house sitting is a 24-hour scheduled service (although not constant care for that 24 hours), so if you want me to come on the first day at noon, I am booked with you through noon on the last day, as an example. If you book the first day at noon and schedule to come back the final day at 4pm, Rover will charge an additional half day rate for any additional time between 2 and 8 hours. If it's 8 or more hours (in this example, arriving 8pm or later) they will charge an additional day rate. Please make sure you put accurate times in - these times also dictate when I can enter and when I must leave, as well as the Rover Gurantee coverage. If you need care outside these hours after booking, a booking modification will need to be made and accepted on both the sitter and owner side, or additional drop ins must be scheduled and accepted. Gas Charges for Outside of Fort Collins Clients I love being able to service clients outside of Fort Collins, but in order to do so and still be able to travel to and from, a small gas fee does apply. Please know that I am located in Southeast Fort Collins. Starting in August 2021, for clients outside Fort Collins, there will be an $10 gas fee per visit for drop-ins and a $35/first week + $20/additional week gas fee for housesitting, to cover transportation costs to and from home. This includes Johnstown, Windsor, Timnath, and Loveland, starting at E 57th St and anything east of I-25, as well as Wellington, LaPorte, and unincorporated Fort Collins north of Old Town via Cherry Street. Out-of-town sittings are not eligible for a lunchtime drop-in, as the commute to and from extends past my lunch break times. Please make sure your animals can be comfortable for a full work day without a bathroom break if booking a house sitting or drop in out of my regular radius. If outside my extended radius, such as Denver or any sitting that requires more than a 12-mile/30-minute one-way commute, a $50/week gas charge will apply and pets will be required to be able to make it through a workday without being let out or must have access to a dog door or temperature controlled outdoor environment. Thank you for understanding, I love my out-of-town clients but want to be upfront with the level of care I provide to these distant clients Home Care I take care of your home as if it was my own. Every client is different, so I make sure I know what your needs are, as well as the needs of your pets and your home, and try and keep it as routine as possible so when you get home, it's like I was never there (even though I was, and I'll send you lots of pictures while you're away, all of your furry friends 😊). Services include basic litter cleaning, taking out the trash, cleaning dishes and kitchen spaces I used, stripping the bed, watering any plants, and cleaning up little messes from the pets. Cleaning Please make sure you have your own personal cleaners in the home. I also have a spot bot and some cleaners on hand to supplement. It's not unusual for a pet to have a stress accident with a new sitter - and I'm prepared for the mess. If your pets have additional or consistent accidents (more than 3) or have issues like UTI, hemorrhoids, or inappropriate spraying/marking, or if there is excessive mud in your area that requires frequent cleaning, an additional cleaning fee may apply to compensate for the additional time. *Yard Cleanup Not Included, but Available for Additional Charges* Cleaning up yards or dog poop outside of normal walk cleanup is available at an additional charge. If dogs have access to a backyard, dog poop cleanup of those yards is not included, but can be added for an additional cost based on size and starting level of cleanliness and upkeep. Unfortunately I've had to adopt this policy due to misuse of my former policy.
