“Yi Ling did such a great job with my 2 pups. She updated me daily about their walks and feeding. She was very polite and professional. When I picked my 2 dogs up they were happy and seemed to enjoy their time with her. I would highly recommend her for your pets and will be using again when I go out of town.”
“Amber is great with dogs! She is very calm and in control. She was able to get our dogs to be friendly during introduction even when Guinness was being protective. It seems like Guinness had a great 2 days with Amber and Bubba. Thanks Amber! We will be a repeat customer.”
“Carrie took Ziggy for a few days for us while we were on a trip! She's got a great setup for boarding and daycare, lots of space to run and play. Her dogs got along with Ziggy well. She was very responsive and kept us updated on all things. Will definitely use again when traveling.”
“Tamie and her son took great care of Max, she provided daily updates and pics, and her pup was very sweet, mild mannered and sounds like they got along well. Communication was great and she was easy to work, will reach out to her again.”
“Laurel and her lovely family took such great care of my little one and I highly recommend her. Laurel provided photos and updates throughout her stay and made me feel really comfortable. Absolutely would use again and really appreciated the loving care she provided.”
“Kyle and Desiree were amazing! This was Gumbo's first boarding experience and the whole family treated her like one of their own. Their daughter even made her a personalized neck bandana! They were very generous in taking her on long walks and sending lots of pictures. They were very professional and keep detailed records for each client. I Highly recommend!”
“Mandy is the best, always takes good care of our little guy, Baxter loves to visit with the backyard he can play in and his pug friends, he’s always happy to come visit Mandy”
“Jamie & Joe are the BESTEST! It is such a comfort to know our dog, Peach is well taken care of when she is in their care. She is always excited to see them. That says alot. Thanks so much!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult time. While we were laying my grandmother to rest, Misty gave us peace of mind and even a reason to smile. Her communication was excellent, lots of photos and videos that really helped ease my wife’s stress. When our flight got canceled, she graciously kept our dog an extra day without hesitation, which meant so much to us. Our dog clearly had an amazing time. She fell in love with her daughter and played tons of catch. We will absolutely be using her again. Only downside? When we got home, our dog was bored 😂 which tells you everything.”
“Riley was so happy with Dalia and Dainius and their daughter Milda! I’m sure she hardly missed me at all between their walks and play time. 😊 It was also wonderful how accommodating they were to watch her less than a week out! Highly recommend!”
“Janette was best sitter that we could have ever asked for!! She loved Luna as if she was her own. She sent tons of pictures and gave plenty of updates!! Will definitely use her all the time!!!”
About: Have dog sat a couple of times. I don't have a dog, but willing to have one around the house for those who need a dog sitter for a few days. My wife and I have opposite work schedule, so someone is home about 85 % of the time. Would be able to have someone take dogs for walks throughout the day, or watch them in the back yard Pets will be indoor. Have a fenced back yard when needed to go outside for bathroom needs. We don't have other pets , so your pet would not take away attention from your pet
“We were very happy that we found Erin and Sebastian to take care of Taz while we were on a trip. From our first meeting it was obvious they care about animals. Erin sent several updates and pictures during the week to let us know Taz was in good hands and doing fine. Will not hesitate to use them again if needed. Thanks again for your care.”
“Amazing sitter! I’m always leery about leaving Deacon with strangers. Jessica was my first Rover sitter that I have used and I’m proud to say she will be my only sitter that I will use. Her communication, concern, care, and overall sitter skills were absolutely amazing. I can’t thank her enough for providing an outstanding experience.”
“Darby was a great dog sitter for our dog!! She sent tons of updates, took her on many walks and our dog had so much fun with her and her family. She was easy to communicate with and I would book her again in the future!”

“Amber goes above and beyond, and I can depend on her to be there when I need her. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of expertise with dogs and went above and beyond and gave me great value today when she bathed both of my dogs. One of them is a puppy and quite the shyster. She is a golden doodle and I know they are not easy to keep groomed. Thanks, Amber and I will see you next time!”

I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and a comfortable and safe place to sleep. I love knowing that animals are well taken care of. I love being able to play with animals and generally spend time ensuring that they feel the love they all need and want.
“Shayna watched my cat while I was away in Europe for a wedding. Leaving your pet is always hard, especially when going abroad. But Shayna gave me so much peace of mind. Great communication, responsive, and super caring. She even checked in on me during my journey back to make sure I made it safely. I highly recommend her, I know I will use her for my next trip :)”

About: I have two dogs of my own, and have been taking care of other people's pets for years. Do they need to run? no problem. Do they need special care? I can do that! I have a part time job, so there is no problem taking care of your pets! I offer morning, afternoon, and evening walks, and I can watch them while you're away. It's no problem if you need your dogs crated, running free, or whatever preferences you have. If you have puppies, I can stay with them and help enforce potty rules.
About: Pets are not just animals, they’re part of the family! Whenever I take care of an animal, I like to see myself in their… paws. I think to myself how I’d want to be treated, and make sure they get the best treatment possible. All through my life I have taken care of all of my pets from fish, to cats and dogs, and even moths and butterflies! Back home in Minnesota, I used to take care of two cats, Lucky and Gnocchi, which Gnocchi is now in the loving care of my grandparents, and Lucky has been watching from above for more than a few years now. I later took care of my cat, Foxy, who has since joined Lucky and both are watching my progress from above. Now, my dog Bailey is at home with two kittens, Ava and Johnny, who are currently being cared for by my mom. I miss my fluffy friends back home, and would love to make some new ones around the area! I currently have a part-time job at Raising Cane’s in Loveland, and I’m trying my best to keep my Rover schedule updated with my work schedule. I’m free for care all week, save for the hours I am at work, but I am always willing to drop in or stay over should the situation call for it. Safety has always been my number one priority no matter what job I have been given. Risks and shortcuts are something I barely even know how to do, and instructions on what the owners want the sitter to do with their pets are the only thing that will be followed (along with basic common sense of course). I am readily available to read your pet’s emotions and figure out their needs from only a few little body language changes, and I will always give them the love and care that they deserve.
“We appreciated Savannah taking care of the girls. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that the girls were in great hands. Will definitely book again with Savannah.”
About: Growing up with pets, my family made sure to instill in my the high level of care and compassion that goes into caring for the furry members of our family. From dogs to cats to horses, I understand firsthand how important it is to ensure that our critter companions are in good hands. However, with busy schedules, it can be hard to give your pets the attention that they deserve. That’s where I can step in and fill in the gaps while you are at work, school, or on vacation. I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week, so I have no problem doing mid-day visits or overnight stays. While we can discuss time and date on a case-by-case basis, I will make every effort to accommodate you and your pet’s schedule. I love going for walks, playing with, and giving personal attention to pets, as well as overnight stays. To ensure the best experience for the pet, I ask that all new clients participate in a meet and greet beforehand.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. A shiba inu and a mastiff. I train the mastiff to be my service dog. I have watched friends and family's pets all the time. I grew up with cats so I am good with most animals. Also I used to work in a pet store. I am usually fairly free. I dont have a set schedule but I do go to appointments so if I know ahead of time I can usually do most things. I like to follow the same routine that you have in place so as long as you write out what you need I'll make sure to gets it done. I think animals like routine. Also I think its important to know what you find important because you know your animals best. I want to make sure you feel food about the care your animal gets
About: I have had pets most of my life. I love all animals. I have volunteered or worked with animals in vet hospitals, rescues, sanctuaries and pet sitting since I was 16.

Not to mention how attentive he was to my pups needs. He had so much fun and almost didnt want to leave. Thank you AJ you're the best.”
About: I’ve helped train two puppies to potty train and even use the bell, so I understand the patience and consistency it takes to teach good habits. I really take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, routines, and needs — whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a senior dog who just needs a calm, comforting walk. I’m reliable, caring, and always make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and happy while they’re with me. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a lot of free time and truly enjoy spending it with animals. I’m able to give each pet my full attention — whether that means daily walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I'm available whenever someone needs a reliable sitter or walker. My dogs are like my children — they’re fully potty trained and have free range around the house. I take them out every so often because I want them to explore and enjoy the world as much as possible. They always have access to fresh water, and our home is truly their home. If you have specific routines or special ways you care for your dogs, please let me know so I can follow the same routine and make them feel comfortable and loved.

I am a trained vet tech, and am comfortable taking care of dogs with a variety needs. Special diets, administration of meds, all not a problem. I don't even mind the small guys with big attitude! I have a fairly flexible work schedule, leaving me available after 3:30pm Sunday-Wednesday. Thursday-Saturday is more or less anytime of the day until about 10 pm. When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I prefer to keep to the house rules already in place. If there is a behavior we are trying to change or reinforce, I would like to be fully aware. Thus way I can continue training I your absence. Other than that, expect me to spoil your fur friend. I have multiple dogs myself, and they are a part of my day. I would treat your dogs the same way.

My dogs currently free roam, but they have had to use a kennel before so I am comfortable using a crate if needed. My dogs also take different medications and supplements so I have experience providing those to dogs and cats if needed as well. I have had to provide several different diets for animals over the years, so I am good with just about anything!

This has strengthened my ability to follow detailed care instructions, maintain proper environments, and recognize subtle changes in behavior or health across many species. ⸻ 🛡️ Safety-First & Detail-Oriented Care Safety is always my top priority with every animal I care for. I’m highly detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medications, enrichment, potty routines, and special instructions. I focus on secure handling, clean environments, and constant awareness to ensure pets are protected and comfortable at all times. ⸻ 💬 Reliable, Loving & Communicative Whether your pet needs calm companionship, structured activity, training support, or extra TLC, I’m committed to providing reliable, knowledgeable, and loving care. I value clear communication and want every owner to feel confident and at ease knowing their pet is in capable, caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As a student in a veterinary technology program, animal care is already a central part of my life, and I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time and flexibility for pets in my care. This allows me to be reliable and attentive with dog walks, drop-in visits, and care while owners are away, without rushing or cutting corners. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs, including consistent feeding times, exercise, enrichment, and observation. Because of this, I’m able to provide dependable, focused care and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I also take great pride in taking pictures and updates of the animals in my care. So you can also feel connected and comfortable being away from your furry companions. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, structured, and comfortable environment that meets each pet’s individual needs. I live in an apartment but am surrounded by nature trails, which allows for plenty of exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation through regular walks and outdoor time. In my home, pets have designated, secure areas for rest, feeding, and play, and I carefully manage space to prevent stress or unsafe interactions. I do not have any permanent animals in my residence, which allows me to fully focus on the pets in my care, though I do foster puppies occasionally with proper separation and supervision. Safety is always a top priority—I follow secure leash practices, maintain a clean environment, monitor behavior closely, and strictly follow owner instructions to ensure every pet feels protected, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve taken Care of dogs my whole life and have now been doing dog boarding full time . Currently have one senior girl that we have in our home. Your pup would be loved taken care of and be given all the walks and treats you allow throughout their visit. I am working part time and would have plenty of time to tend to their needs. Feed them with whatever dietary restrictions you may have and normal potty breaks with space for back yard activities and dog walks I have a fenced yard and crates available if your dog needs it. If they are spending the night I have dog beds. They would have friends to play with that would require a meet and great

“Yi Ling did such a great job with my 2 pups. She updated me daily about their walks and feeding. She was very polite and professional. When I picked my 2 dogs up they were happy and seemed to enjoy their time with her. I would highly recommend her for your pets and will be using again when I go out of town.”
“Amber is great with dogs! She is very calm and in control. She was able to get our dogs to be friendly during introduction even when Guinness was being protective. It seems like Guinness had a great 2 days with Amber and Bubba. Thanks Amber! We will be a repeat customer.”
“Carrie took Ziggy for a few days for us while we were on a trip! She's got a great setup for boarding and daycare, lots of space to run and play. Her dogs got along with Ziggy well. She was very responsive and kept us updated on all things. Will definitely use again when traveling.”
“Kyle and Desiree were amazing! This was Gumbo's first boarding experience and the whole family treated her like one of their own. Their daughter even made her a personalized neck bandana! They were very generous in taking her on long walks and sending lots of pictures. They were very professional and keep detailed records for each client. I Highly recommend!”
“Jamie & Joe are the BESTEST! It is such a comfort to know our dog, Peach is well taken care of when she is in their care. She is always excited to see them. That says alot. Thanks so much!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult time. While we were laying my grandmother to rest, Misty gave us peace of mind and even a reason to smile. Her communication was excellent, lots of photos and videos that really helped ease my wife’s stress. When our flight got canceled, she graciously kept our dog an extra day without hesitation, which meant so much to us. Our dog clearly had an amazing time. She fell in love with her daughter and played tons of catch. We will absolutely be using her again. Only downside? When we got home, our dog was bored 😂 which tells you everything.”
“Riley was so happy with Dalia and Dainius and their daughter Milda! I’m sure she hardly missed me at all between their walks and play time. 😊 It was also wonderful how accommodating they were to watch her less than a week out! Highly recommend!”
“Janette was best sitter that we could have ever asked for!! She loved Luna as if she was her own. She sent tons of pictures and gave plenty of updates!! Will definitely use her all the time!!!”
“Amazing sitter! I’m always leery about leaving Deacon with strangers. Jessica was my first Rover sitter that I have used and I’m proud to say she will be my only sitter that I will use. Her communication, concern, care, and overall sitter skills were absolutely amazing. I can’t thank her enough for providing an outstanding experience.”
“Ciara took great care of our 2 dogs for a week. Usually our dogs come home from a sitter and cling to us desperately, but our dogs came home from Ciara’s very calm and happy! She clearly loves dogs and we would highly recommend her. Our dogs especially loved that she had a fantastic dog park on site. Thanks, Ciara!”
“Beanie was so well cared for and had great company. He enjoys the attention he gets from little ones and having another smaller dog was great. I appreciated the updates and am especially thankful for the accommodation on the late request.”
“Had to book last minute, Stephanie and Jennifer were very quick to respond and always very accommodating for our boys. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“Mu husband and I were pleased with our first booking. We are happy she agreed to have our dogs again. When we dropped off our dogs, I was happy to see our dogs remembered her and her family and were pleased to be there.”
“I look forward to taking Finn to Ben’s when we go out of town. Finn loves playing with his two dogs, especially his 1-year-old energetic pup with amazing agility! Ben walks Finn along the lakes. We can tell he loves all kinds of dogs and that this is a passion for him, not just a job! He sends photos that warm our hearts. We will continue to bring Finn to Ben for his care of Finn!”
“Patrick was very accommodating and a pleasure to interact with. Timmy very much enjoyed his stay, and we will most certainly be calling up on Patrick again for pet-sitting. I was kept in the loop about Timmy's activities and sent photos and a video as well. I unequivocally recommend Patrick for your pet-sitting needs.”
“I could just tell when i walked in the door that bowie was going to be well taken care of. My puppy usually has a hard time when we leave her at a boarding house. She doesnt eat much, and barks all night but not this time! She didn't lose weight, slept and got all kinda of walks and cuddles and I got to relax on my trip because I could tell she was happy and relaxed! Definetely going back thank you so much Meagan!!!”
