“Kristin was so easy to coordinate with and took such good care of my doggie! Followed instructions perfectly and send great photos. 10/10 would use again :)”

“Emma did such a great job taking care of our senior dog and provided such thorough and fun updates throughout the weekend. We were able to fully relax and trust that Emma was there for them!”

“This was my first time using any type of dog sitting/walking app and it was a great experience thanks to Gary! He was very punctual, communicative and took great care of my two pups. I appreciated his updates and photos after each visit. I’d highly recommend him and would use him again! Thanks Gary :)”


About: Growing up, dogs have always been a big part of my life. My family had our own dogs, and I also helped care for dogs belonging to family and friends of all shapes and sizes. I currently have a 2-year-old Border Collie/Cattle Dog mix, which has given me even more hands-on experience with training, exercise, and understanding different behaviors and personalities. I love being outdoors and staying active, and having a furry friend along for a walk or run makes it even more enjoyable. Whether your dog needs a good walk, some exercise, or simply some companionship with a drop-in visit, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would give my own. I’m responsible, trustworthy, patient, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m excited to spend more time outside, explore the wonderful neighborhoods around the Denver metro area, and most importantly, provide your dog with a safe, fun, and positive experience. I’m currently working part-time and have plenty of availability to help dogs get out on walks, as well as other forms of exercise, if needed. Available for meet and greets as well! I have a 2 year old, high energy, border collie/cattle dog mix. I have a fenced in yard and I go on at least 2-3 walks per day. I also have other training exercises and games we play when needed as well and it has been awesome to see my dogs growth since he was a puppy.
“Kelly, is great. Super reliable. Feel so much better when we are away knowing that someone so organized and thoughtful is taking care of our pets.”

“Denise is incredible! I just moved to the area and haven’t built up a network of folks to look after our animals yet. My wife and I lucked into finding Denise! She was punctual, responsive, and even though she wasn’t in charge of looking after the cats, she let us know about them over the course of our wedding weekend. She just graduated from college and we were fortunate enough to meet her before she starts her new career where she will be helping to make this city even better as an engineer. She is responsible, kind, and goes out of her way to care for your animals. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend, and will be lucky to have her look after my pup again in the future. Thank you Denise!”

“I’m so happy that I chose Jennifer as my sitter for my Mellow. On her first visit, Mellow went right up to her and I knew then that she was the one to care for her. Jennifer is so caring and friendly, compassionate and loving not just as a pet sitter but as a human. I will forever be picking Jennifer to watch my Queen Mellow.”


About: While I may not have formal professional pet care experience, I have years of hands-on experience caring for my family’s dog and helping neighbors with their pets. As a person who has been granted responsibility to many pets, I understand how important it is to provide patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love so every dog feels safe and comfortable. What sets me apart is the genuine care I give every pet. I treat each dog like my family’s, paying close attention to their personality, energy level, and routine. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a slower pace, I make sure they feel happy, cared for, and loved while you’re away. Just looking for an experience to put all my dog-love while I’m away from home! I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Denver and field hockey coach for a local club. Pet care is always on the forefront of my mind since I encapsulate that role every time I’m home. My schedule is built around walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure my dog feels comfortable and cared for, so adding your pup into my routine feels very natural to me. I’m flexible with timing and will always do my best to match your dog’s normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or in a client’s home. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a clean environment, secure leashes or fenced areas during walks and outdoor time, and plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and will carefully follow any feeding schedules, walk routines, house rules, or special instructions you provide. Most importantly, I believe communication builds trust, so I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Grace is amazing! She had patience for my spicy kitty, was communicative and sent photos each check in which made me feel like she was in good hands. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Carina dropped in to watch my 2 kitties! She was active in sending updates and photos while I was away. I got back and they still had plenty of food and water. Carina is a trusted care taker and I would book her again!”

“Julia is terrific. My dog had a dislocated hip followed by surgical repair. She was terrific at helping and caring in this tough dynamic time with incapacitated dog and dynamic recovery. ❤️”

“Jade was extremely communicative and took great care of our large dogs, will definitely be utilizing her again they were so happy and well cared for. Thank you Jade!!”

“Nelson was a wonderful pet sitter for my kitty Archie! My kitty is usually very shy and hides from strangers, but right from the start he was at ease with Nelson. Not only did he send pictures of Archie throughout his stay, he was clearly very kind and attentive to him—when I returned Archie was happy and healthy. He even sent me a cute Archie wearing a Santa hat picture on Christmas—it was adorable. Nelson really went above and beyond as a pet sitter—he was very communicative and is clearly an animal lover. I would highly recommend him and will be booking him on my next trip away!!!”


“Cassi did such an amazing job taking care of my kitty while I was gone! She gave her so much loving & play time. She gave me great updates after each visit & sent lots of pics! My kitty is shy with new people and Cassi did a great job helping to make my kitty comfortable with her. Definitely felt so much better on my trip knowing that my kitty was in Cassi’s care! So grateful for her. 100% recommend booking her! I also appreciated that she was available for me when I needed someone last minute. She was very respectful and communicative!”

“Alanna is fantastic. With a somewhat sporadic work schedule I often have to ask her last minute to watch my pup, but she always responds really quickly and has yet to not be available. She always sends great pictures and leaves very good notes. If she ever has a question she never hesitates to ask me, whether it be if he needs to be fed or questions about when exactly I need her to be there. I fully plan on using her in the future, if I need anyone she is my go to. Courage seems to really enjoy her watching him and always seems to be getting the attention he needs.”

The best sitter!! She’s been watching my fur baby for 3 weeks now. She’s very consistent and leaves detailed report cards/photos. She carries little training treats to help train during walks, which is very helpful (especially for my dog adjusting to a new space). I can tell my dog loooves her through all of her smiles in the pics. Can’t wait for her to keep dog sitting for me!!

Stephanie is so sweet! Both of my dogs loved her and she took extra special care to ensure they had a little walk and potty breaks. I love that she took the time to get to know my dogs, how they are on leash, and how they are with people to ensure their safety while in her care! Would recommend :)

Bethany was recommended to me when my other rover sitter was unavailable. She has been a godsend with my two kittens while I've been away - cleaning the litter box and vacuuming when they've made a mess, checking their water, bringing toys and treats and giving them extra love and attention. Thank you loads Bethany!!

Emma is a great dog sitter! She went above and beyond with our dog, Cleo, who is anxious when meeting new people. Emma made the extra effort to meet Cleo before the first drop in visit, and was patient with her until Cleo calmed down. By her 2nd visit it was clear that Cleo was comfortable with her new friend! We are grateful for Emma’s care!
