I would recommend Sean for any and all animal care needs!!!!”

I would absolutely recommend Ingrid to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!”
“Teagan was so kind and responsive when watching our shy cat! She even watered some of my plants that I had forgotten to water before leaving on our trip. I will definitely hire her again!”
About: I grew up with two amazing dogs and even had pet mice. In the past, I have played, walked, and cared for kittens, golden retrievers, corgis, labs, and chihuahua mixes. I currently live in One Observatory Park. I have also volunteered at Humane Colorado (formerly Dumb Friends League). I currently work part time, from 9-3 on Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday, but would be happy to pet sit overnight on these days. I am flexible and will work to accommodate your needs. I would make sure to take good care of your dog or cat! We can go over the specifics before hand so I understand your dog’s routine.

Tom and Cara are absolutely phenomenal and did a wonderful job looking after our pets. Our dog is always thrilled when they come to take him for a walk and they take exceptional care of our cats. They are very detail oriented and send us lots of photos of our pets.
Jennifer was so detail oriented and invested in my and my cat's comfort through our entire experience. I haven't used Rover before so I had some trepidation, but Jennifer immediately solved that in our meet and greet. She handled a lot of last minute problems like the cats getting into food, getting sick, and changes in diet. Would recommend and will use her again.
Bonnie was incredible with our cat from the start. It was so nice to see her interact with him during the meet and greet and we came home to a happy cat after a weekend away. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat with her and look forward to having her watch him again soon!
I can’t say enough good things about Madisen she is truly a wonderful dog walker! My dog Chanel, absolutely adores them and gets so excited every time they arrive. They are reliable, punctual, and always go the extra mile to make sure my pup is happy, safe, and well-exercised. I really appreciate the updates and photos after each walk—it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring hands. I highly recommend Madisen to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and dependable dog walker!
Chelsea was great with my older cat while I was away for 6 days. Finding a cat sitter on Rover can take a little time but I loved the way Chelsea was with my skittish fur baby. She is gentle and patient with cats and understands that sometimes they just need time to warm up to someone. Chelsea was a great communicator about how my kitty was coping with my absence (i.e whether she was eating and/or hiding) and the photos showed that my cat was relaxed around Chelsea. Chelsea was also willing to go the extra mile and water my outdoor flower pots, which meant every day in August. She did a great job and the flowers are thriving. I give Chelsea 5 stars for being a darling, trustworthy and truly great with cats. I recommend her highly.
We had a last minute trip to take and hadn’t yet found a regular sitter for our kitty in the neighborhood we moved to in the last year. Lena responded immediately to my post and came by the next day to meet us and our orange kitty 🐈 We all felt comfortable with her right away and knew Lima would have excellent care. Every visit was documented with detailed notes and photos, and we returned home to a happy fur baby ☺️ We will definitely contact Lena for a rebook if the occasion arises!
