About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a kid. I regularly watch my sister’s dog and two friends’ pups, so I’m very comfortable with various food routines, walks, and keeping dogs happy while their people are away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care. I take my sweet pup on three walks a day - morning (20-45 min), afternoon (10-15 min), and evening (20-45) - and visiting dogs are welcome to join us. When the weather is nice, dogs can move freely between inside and outside in the large fenced yard (unless you prefer otherwise for your dog). I have a large fenced yard, plus a creek and open space just out my door for daily walks and longer adventures. Your dog will get plenty of walks, attention, and couch time. I love having dogs in my home and treat them like part of the family while they're here.
“She is great, and my kitty had a whole room to himself! She spoiled him, and worked hard to keep him happy and healthy. Will definitely trust her anytime with my little dude.”
“Francesca was wonderful! It was evident that our pup Oslo loved her. She sent great updates and pictures throughout the stay which we really appreciated. We already can’t wait to use her again!”
“Noah and David were beyond wonderful for watching our dear, scared Shylee. He had her number from the beginning, and knew exactly how to deal with her idiosyncrasies. He had a quiet place for Shylee to stay, and was very patient letting her get to know him and the area. Receiving the fun pictures and communications, showed us she was being well taken care of-- and it totally eased our mind while we were on a family vacation. We would 200% recommend!! I wish we lived closer!! Thank you thank you David and Noah!”
“Nutmeg had a wonderful long weekend with Kim and Fred. She got to explore their backyard and went on walks in the neighborhood. I picked up a happy dog today!”
“Nasal and Thomas went above and beyond for our dog, Finn. It was such a blessing to know that Finn was loved and cared for by people who genuinely love dogs and genuinely wanted to spend time with him. They sent so many photos and videos which became our favorite part of our weekend away. We are crazy dog people and never leave our pups with others... and I did not worry about him for a second!! Thank you all so much- we are so grateful 💛”
“Georgia watched our two dogs for the week of Thanksgiving and we returned to calm, happy, well cared for pups. Georgia is an obvious dog lover, has a wonderful home/space to keep your dogs and is genuinely a kind and communicative person! I highly recommend this sitter! We will definitely be back!”
“Delane is awesome! I have a feeling she may love my dog as much as I do and that is really satisfying to know he’s in great hands and that I have nothing to worry about!”
“Maggie was the absolute best!! She took care of my little man like he was her own and she went above and beyond to give him extra comfort when he was going through a coughing spell. I had zero worries leaving my boy with her and I will 100% be coming back!”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, and bunnies for the past ten years! I have experiencing taking care of animals while house sitting for long stretches of time. I love getting outside, walking, and running with dogs! I am reliable, gentle, and love getting to share new connections with animals. It would be so great to take care of your animal babies! I'm currently in grad school but have significant room for walking, dropping in, and overnight stays. My schedule is mostly busy during the days on Tuesday and Thursday, but I have time in the morning, evening, and afternoons. I stick to what each owner/parent prefers. As for my dog, he is really good about recall so we are able to let him run around the backyard without fencing. When we walk on trail he is mostly on leash unless we are in the backcountry. Again, I stick to what each owner prefers for their animal baby!
“Emily took wonderful care of our pup Mara. We reached out very last minute for a weekend sitting request, and Emily even found time to meet us for a meet and greet the day before we dropped Mara off. She sent regular updates on how Mara was doing, and she was clearly having a great time with her, Emily’s dog Osito, and Emily’s son. Would 100% book with Emily again!”
“I cannot recommend Curtis enough. We received professional service that I could tell his heart is really into. Our dog was cared for extremely well! I will have no hesitation booking with Curtis in the future.”
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Aubrey’s house. He had lots of furry friends to play with, spent time exploring outside and received many cuddles and love. Aubrey was wonderful at sending daily updates and pictures. Our pup came back exhausted from all the fun he had. Can’t wait to use Aubrey again next time we are away!”
“Della was incredibly loving, reliable, and accommodating when it came to watching our pup last week! We received so many sweet photos capturing their many adventures which really warmed my son’s heart as he was missing her. We will definitely work with Della and sweet Uma again!”
“Elise was just incredible! She took amazing care of my pup and I will absolutely be returning in the future. I especially appreciated the flexibility and understanding for my extenuating circumstances ❤️. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

“Kristen did a wonderful job with my cats. She came twice a day as scheduled and even gave my one cat medicine each day. I was afraid to go away for 6 nights because they both love attention. They seamed much more relaxed than usual when I returned home. So I know they felt love while I was gone. I would highly recommend her for your cat or dog sitting needs.”
“Genna took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was out of the country. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was going well while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.”
“Linnea is amazing at caring for our kitties. They love her and are very well adjusted when we come home. It’s such a relief! Linnea has a special connection with pets!”
“Highly recommend Carolyn! She was excellent and extremely flexible with our last minute travel plans changing. She is very communicative and took great care of our senior cat, including medication administration.”
“Joanie was just wonderful with our dog, Arlow. She was attentive and responsible and really earned both Arlows and our trust. She is so sweet and reliable and we can’t wait to have her back as our sitter! I really felt like i could sit back and enjoy our vacation knowing Joanie was taking care of our puppers. 🖤 10/10”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animals’ unique personalities and needs. Today, I’m the proud owner of two Golden Retrievers, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to accommodate walks, potty breaks, play sessions, feedings, and check-ins that fit your pet’s normal routine. My flexibility also makes it easier to accommodate last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or my own, I provide a calm, attentive environment and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. I understand that every pet is different, so I follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, training commands, and household rules. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Diana took good care of my catson Benny and was great about communicating updates. I came home from my trip away to find him well and happy! I recommend her services for anyone with cat sitting needs.”
“Wenqi was incredible! She was so communicative, she sent so many photos of Callie, and Callie absolutely loved her. I will absolutely be hiring her again for all of my Rover needs.”
About: Hi there! I am a firm believer in treating pets like family and showing them nothing but love. My pets can do no wrong in my eyes and I know what it’s like to worry about them when I’m away from home. I am an attentive and caring and have loved having pets my entire life in addition to a few years experience petsitting dogs and cats back in California and Oregon. I also spent time caregiving for the elderly and looking after their pets was a big part of the job. I am open to caring for any type of animal! I am currently a full time student with availability weekday mornings before 9am and afternoons usually after 3:00pm. I can be available anytime throughout the night and full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I have one sweet older cat living with me in my one bedroom apartment and she’s just a joy to have around. Due to her timid nature, I am unable to bring other pets into my own home for pet sitting but I offer any other service for your pet such as walking, feeding, playing, giving medicine, you name it :)
“Kelsey was awesome! Sent me really nice updates on Mitzi every day, and I came home to a happy cat, and my packages thoughtfully brought inside. Thanks Kelsey! Will definitely rebook next time I’m out of town!”

About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, from volunteering at animal shelters to eventually managing one, I have such a passion for animal wellness.

About: I’m active, work from home, and a dog-lover. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so your pup gets consistent attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and never long stretches alone. I share my home with Mabel, my 4-year-old golden retriever. We're outside every day on local trails, dog-friendly hikes, and the dog park across the street.

Your dog will get personal attention, plenty of activity, and a flexible routine that works for them. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Happy to coordinate with you to ensure your dog’s needs are met. Able to step out with your pup for bathroom breaks whenever needed. I don’t have a yard, but my golden retriever needs exercise each day. We’re outside every day on local trails, dog-friendly hikes, and the dog park across the street. Boulder is our backyard!
“Christine was fantastic and Lulu had a great time playing with Hondo! Lulu is a very anxious dog—Christine was understanding of her needs and Lulu warmed to her within just this first daycare visit. I’ll definitely be booking again and grateful to have another spot where I know Lu will be happy and wonderfully cared for.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for weeks at a time for the past four years in Colorado and Southern California. I love having your pup around as a friend and companion here in boulder, CO! Your dog can expect lots of walks, hikes, playing in our backyard, and many cuddles! I work remotely from home so have time to take your dog out on walks, feed them at the times they are used to, and hang out and play! I have a fenced in backyard and a park right around the corner. I am comfortable taking your dogs on walks and hikes in the area!
“Christine took great care of our dog. Lots of photo updates, walks, playing, and good communication before and throughout the day. Would definitely recommend and book again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, starting with training and walking my first dog, which helped me develop patience, consistency, and a strong understanding of trust. I later co-parented a high-needs dog, gaining experience with behavior management, individual care needs, and medication administration. Throughout my life, friends and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals, and I pride myself on being dependable, calm, and attentive. I also live an active lifestyle and would love to bring your dog along on hikes or outdoor adventures if that’s something they enjoy. I currently work part time in a hybrid role, and I love to fill some of my time caring for pups! I can’t wait to find out how I can support. My clean and spacious home is the perfect landing space for your pup between walks, potty breaks, rides around town, higher intensity hikes, or whatever activities your dog enjoys the most. Your dog will have the freedom to roam where they please, sit with me on the couch, or insist upon another walk. I pride myself on my attention to detail and risk management when it comes to any environment your dog and I are sharing, while optimizing fun and enrichment. Conveniently located next to a trail and several parks, we will have no shortage of excellent places to jaunt and play!
“Emilie helped us out tremendously with some last minute day care. She's quick to respond, friendly, and I felt at ease leaving our pup with her. Two big thumbs up from us!”
“Terry provided wonderful care for our dog Coco. Coco loved playing with her dogs and was excited to get out of the car each morning to go and see Terry. Terry sent me very sweet pictures of Coco having fun and was easy to communicate with. We will definitely use Terry again in the future.”
“Olivia was so accommodating with my dog. He is usually anxious with leaving me but he was happy to be there when we dropped him off. Will definitely use them again in the future”

My philosophy with care makes sure dogs get active time, park time, quality time, fun adventures, time with friends, and lots of affection. I make sure your doggy needs are met, being versatile with the activities we do while they stay at my place. As a mostly remote worker, I have a lot of flexibility and ample time to take your dog on walks and give them lots of care and attention, be it on the couch or outside. Doggies have access to water, clean bowls, toiletries, and all their basic needs. My entire place is dog-proofed, so hazard mitigation is present. Dogs have the opportunity of enjoying different surfaces based on their needs, including hardwood, carpet, rugs, and a comfy couch.
“Bretta is incredible! She was so patient and caring for my pup during his stays with her. He was extremely anxious but she was able to help him feel secure while I was away. She did an excellent job of checking in and trying methods to help my dog. We were so lucky to find her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly caring sitter and an overall quality stay!”

About: I’ve always loved being around and caring for dogs! I’ve had a dog of my own for almost my whole life, who I care for on the daily. When a friend is in need of a dog sitter they come to me and I care for their pup like my own! I am home very often on a daily basis so I have lots of time to spend with your pet and care for their needs! This leaves plenty of time for play and attention. I have a big fenced in yard where the dog can run and play along with my energetic 4 year old dog. Your pet can be crated if needed/desired but is welcome on the furniture just like my dog!
About: I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years, watching them for friends and family as well as taking great care of my own family fur babies.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life! I had three cats and a dog growing up, along with helping out with pets of my other family members. I did an unpaid internship at a veterinary hospital so I know how important it is to take good care of our animals! I’m currently in college classes for a few hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Now that it’s getting warmer outside, I’m excited to be able to do outdoor walks with your pups! My home is laid out so there is no danger of your pet getting into anything and I live in a good neighborhood for walking around!
“My dog has a little separation anxiety, and this was her first time staying with Sally, but Sally and her dog Leni were able to sooth her and she seemed to settle in after a few hours. The dogs played for hours, and mine went to sleep right when we got home -- always a good sign! Sally was very accommodating to a changing schedule, and was a delight to work with. A great experience overall.”
“Kyleigh was fantastic with our dog, and he's not the easiest dog in the world to manage. He came home tired and seemingly happy - a perfect combination! We'll definitely be using Kyleigh again!”

“I’d never used the app before but loved how easy it was for Sam to keep me updated both times he visited to walk our dog. Our dog is an old boy and can be a little defensive at times, and pretty slow-moving, but Sam was super patient with him. Sam walked him for a full 30 minutes and from what I can tell, he just let our dog take it slow, sniffing (and peeing on) all the things along the way, which is his absolute favorite thing to do. I’d recommend Sam for sure, and will ask him back if we ever need help with our pets again!”
“Luka lived Joanie!! She was a trooper with taking him for out scheduled walks in subzero temperatures. She also gave home plenty of love and treats! Can’t wait to book her again!”

At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit.

I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to accommodate walks, potty breaks, play sessions, feedings, and check-ins that fit your pet’s normal routine. My flexibility also makes it easier to accommodate last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or my own, I provide a calm, attentive environment and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. I understand that every pet is different, so I follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, training commands, and household rules. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.

About: Dogs have been part of my life since I was a kid. I regularly watch my sister’s dog and two friends’ pups, so I’m very comfortable with various food routines, walks, and keeping dogs happy while their people are away. I work from home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility for pet care. I take my sweet pup on three walks a day - morning (20-45 min), afternoon (10-15 min), and evening (20-45) - and visiting dogs are welcome to join us. When the weather is nice, dogs can move freely between inside and outside in the large fenced yard (unless you prefer otherwise for your dog). I have a large fenced yard, plus a creek and open space just out my door for daily walks and longer adventures. Your dog will get plenty of walks, attention, and couch time. I love having dogs in my home and treat them like part of the family while they're here.
“Francesca was wonderful! It was evident that our pup Oslo loved her. She sent great updates and pictures throughout the stay which we really appreciated. We already can’t wait to use her again!”
“Noah and David were beyond wonderful for watching our dear, scared Shylee. He had her number from the beginning, and knew exactly how to deal with her idiosyncrasies. He had a quiet place for Shylee to stay, and was very patient letting her get to know him and the area. Receiving the fun pictures and communications, showed us she was being well taken care of-- and it totally eased our mind while we were on a family vacation. We would 200% recommend!! I wish we lived closer!! Thank you thank you David and Noah!”
“Nutmeg had a wonderful long weekend with Kim and Fred. She got to explore their backyard and went on walks in the neighborhood. I picked up a happy dog today!”
“Georgia watched our two dogs for the week of Thanksgiving and we returned to calm, happy, well cared for pups. Georgia is an obvious dog lover, has a wonderful home/space to keep your dogs and is genuinely a kind and communicative person! I highly recommend this sitter! We will definitely be back!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Aubrey’s house. He had lots of furry friends to play with, spent time exploring outside and received many cuddles and love. Aubrey was wonderful at sending daily updates and pictures. Our pup came back exhausted from all the fun he had. Can’t wait to use Aubrey again next time we are away!”
“Della was incredibly loving, reliable, and accommodating when it came to watching our pup last week! We received so many sweet photos capturing their many adventures which really warmed my son’s heart as he was missing her. We will definitely work with Della and sweet Uma again!”
“Elise was just incredible! She took amazing care of my pup and I will absolutely be returning in the future. I especially appreciated the flexibility and understanding for my extenuating circumstances ❤️. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Highly recommend Alex and Jeff. Responsive and on point with all communications. Great yard and set up. Felt really good about leaving our pup with them.”
“Our dogs Mattie and Wiley had a great time at Sarah’s. They came home happy and tired. We highly recommend Sarah the next time your dog needs a home-away-from-home.”
“Sophia took excellent care of my dog. Perhaps the best sign is when I picked her up, she went back in the house and tried to stay with Sophia instead of come home with me. She even gave Stella a bath before pick up without my asking.”
“Madeline took wonderful care of George during our wedding weekend! We needed some extra help since George was a part of our big day. Maddy helped make sure that George was exercised, and then transferred to our wedding day handler. George had a great time, we had a bunch of pictures that made us feel good and everything was super smooth. Would 100% recommend!”
“Kyleigh was fantastic, took great care of my senior dog with disabilities. Loved the photo updates and could tell that he was very comfortable while we were away on vacation. Will definitely try to request Kyleigh again next time.”
“Barbara was absolutely wonderful and took great care of Kona along with her husband and their dog, Mel! Barbara sent a batch of photos and a report of their activities each day and we knew that our chocolate lab was getting plenty of exercise and also made a new friend with Mel. Lots of ball and walk and swim and play. They live in a great spot in Boulder with quiet trails surrounding them. We knew that Kona was safe, loved and also entertained. Really a great experience. Thank you Barbara and Julian!”
“Shadow spent her longest time with Kimberly and crew while we were away on a trip! We picked Shadow up and as we went to get in the car, Shadow turned back up the stairs to go back to Kimberly’s 😊 I think that says it all! Shadow is so well loved and treated like absolute royalty at Kimberly’s. It’s so comforting knowing that our sweet ‘ol gal is in great hands when we’re away!”
