“Awesome doggie care! We had to leave our pup while away for an extended trip. Multiple communications each day, photos, and it was clear that she was in great hands. Such a gift to have confidence that your pet is cared for!”

“Oberon had the best time with Jessica and Teryn! I appreciate how easy it was to set up a meet and greet, and they made drop off and pickup a breeze. I could see from their daily updates that he spent a lot of time doing his favorite things (laying on his bed in the sun), and even attempted some playing! Thanks again for taking such great care of my pup.”

“My dog is afraid of other dogs. Jamie spent time making sure he was comfortable and started the socialization process. I am very happy with her as a sitter and will board Hutch with her again.”
“Very welcoming, accommodating and calm atmosphere! We have Marley scheduled 2 more times while here on vacation and hope to do the same in the future when we come out to visit our son. Could not ask for more!”

“Kelly, her husband, and their dog Milo took great care of our dog Jake while we were gone for eight days. They did everything possible to make Jake feel comfortable (he is a nervous dog) and they treated him like family. I’m so thankful for their kindness and care.”

“Steve and his family were amazing! They took care of our dog Walter and he had the best time with them. We received updates and photos throughout the weekend and a little drawing of Walter to take home! Highly recommend Steve and will send Walter back again soon!”

“Blu was an excellent host for our small dog Leo. Took him on daily walks and administered his medications. Great communicator, and even watched him an extra night due to our flight being delayed. Will definitely refer her and hopefully she’ll watch our dog again!”


“Luke made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind knowing the dogs were safe and cared for. He has the perfect set up and the dogs acclimated right away even though this was their first time boarding. Highly recommend!”

“The absolute best sitters took such good care of cat Mia and even gave us such a sweet incredibly thoughtful gift at the end of her stay :) - can’t recommend Sehwa and Adam more highly! Thank you so much again! You’ll for sure be our first ask anytime we ever need a sitter again :)”

“Brittany was fantastic as always - it's great being able to travel internationally and know someone I can trust is watching Ajax, and he has a great time with her and her pup!”

“Angie was fantastic with both of my dogs, Nana and Wes! I dropped them off at her home, and the whole process was seamless. She has a calm, friendly energy that the dogs responded to right away, and I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her. Her fenced-in yard is a huge plus, and she kept me updated with great communication the entire time. So glad to have found someone I trust - highly recommend!”

“Kristen took great care of Bean! She sent plenty of updates and we could tell he was so happy to be with her. Would definitely recommend her for any pet care needs!”

“Steve and Susan were the ultimate dog sitters! We had planned to have one of our friends watch the dog and bring her to our wedding so she could be the ring bearer but when our plans fell through Steve and Susan saved the day! They took care of everything we asked and they were available to pick Lucy up from our event in Golden. Lucy was super comfortable there and they even sent some of pictures of Lucy having a great time!”


“Caitlyn is AMAZING!!! She went above and beyond for my fur baby. Our dog is 17 years old and she was very patient and loving with him, she even took him to the vet! Caitlyn kept me well informed with tons of pictures and messages. Iko got along well with her dogs and LOVED their backyard. I highly recommend Caitlyn and will most definitely use her next time Iko needs a sitter.”

“Corrie was an amazing sitter for my 3 cats. Communicative, professional and made me feel very relaxed since it was my first time leaving my cats for a longer period of time. I’ve definitely found my sitter. Thank you!”


“Melina was attentive, experienced and accommodating. She even cleaned up after our cat after she vomited a mouse up onto the carpeted stairs. That is going above and beyond... we are forever grateful!”


“Marina has been so great watching our cats who can be a little difficult. We have hired rovers in the past and would not hire anyone but her with our babies. She is very sweet and has been so helpful!”


“Mikaela and Jacob took great care of my cat while I was away. They communicated clearly, followed care instructions, and took the time to earn my cat’s trust. I would book with them again.”

“Kim is amazing and my 2 cats love her! She always is very responsive and provides a detailed update every visit. We have used her 3 times and will use her in the future for more visits. Can't recommend her enough. I know when we leave, my cats are in good hands.”

“Bethany was great! She arrived at the same time every morning to feed my cat and kept me updated with pictures. I'm so glad I have someone who is right down the road from me to take such good care of my cat's needs.”

“Thank you so much again. I really appreciate that you got the bun some carrots and pee pads when we ran out! It also was really cool of you to drop in twice. We always hate leaving our animals, but I felt they were very well taken of.”


“Thompson was very communicative, so helpful and understanding. She took great photos, wrote nice notes and was able to quickly befriend our standoffish cat. We will be hiring her again in the future!”


“Charlotte was a most excellent caregiver from start to finish for my elderly cat. She came by for a meet & greet with us before I went out of town which put me and my cat Dude at ease. During her check-ins she provided awesome updates and photos which I greatly appreciated & enjoyed. We will definitely reach out to her again. Highly recommend this sitter for your pets needs.”


“Angela stayed with my kitties for a week while I was out of town. They're not used to other people so I was nervous about leaving them, but Angela took such great care of them! She sent pictures and updates every day. I came home to calm kitties and a clean house - such a great experience.”


“Abigail was an amazing sitter for my two cats! In addition to the routine checking food, water, litter, etc., they cleaned up a giftwrapping mess and saved my automatic vacuum from another mess caused by my ornery cats lol. Abigail is very responsive and took the time to get to know my cats and allowed them to feel comfortable while I was away. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Makayla is awesome! Super easy to coordinate with, quick to respond, and took really good care of my girl. Makayla’s dog is very low key and friendly, and my dog got on great with him! Couldn’t recommend her more!”

About: I have 20 years of hands-on pet care experience and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with multiple high-energy dogs, so caring for pets has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years, I've also lived with roommates whose dogs were just as high-energy, and later a cat, which gave me even more day-to-day experience with different pet personalities, routines, and needs. I have also cared for cats with medical needs. I've done drop-in visits for diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections on schedule. I understand how important consistency, routine, and a calm approach are for pets managing health conditions, and I take that responsibility seriously. My partner and I adopted a cat early last year, so I'm very used to daily pet care and know firsthand how important it is to keep things consistent for a pet's comfort and well-being. Our cat Yuzu is friendly, curious, and very social — I've made sure he's comfortable around new people and pets. If your pet enjoys feline company, they'll have a friendly companion during their boarding stay! Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a good long walk or extra playtime to burn off energy, a cat who just wants a quick check-in and a clean litter box, or a pet who needs full boarding while their owners are away, I'm comfortable and experienced enough to give them the attentive, reliable care they deserve. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I'm happy to work with pets who have special needs, medications, or routines that require extra attention and consistency. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I work from home and have my own cat, Yuzu. Feeding, playtime, and routine check-ins happen daily, so fitting in walks, drop-ins, or boarding for your pet is easy, and I'm able to give them consistent attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are supervised, given a comfortable space, and introduced gradually to Yuzu if they're cat-friendly. In a client's home, I would follow your routines and instructions closely, secure doors and gates, and make sure medications or feeding schedules are followed exactly as directed.
“Janet was awesome. My mini poodle had a wonderful time with Janet and other dogs she was watching. It’s such a relief to find a reliable and trustworthy sitter who also seems to be very knowledgeable and comfortable with dogs! I’ll definitely use her service again and again! Thank you so much!!”

“Cory did a great job with our 8 year old goldendoodle. Drop off and pickup was very smooth. We also received a photo during the stay which definitely helped as this was our first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving our pup with someone I don’t know!”

About: Dogs in our house are part of the family. We are a mother & son (age 14) combo with 2 dogs in the house (friendly, sweet spayed females). We have been loving and caring for dogs since we were both little, providing the best care for our price and will make your dog feel like it's at home! We have a fully fenced-in large yard and dog door. If you crate your dog, we have one in the house so that you don't have to bring yours. You can certainly bring your own dog bed, but we also have one that your pup can utilize. We also have stuffs, toys, leashes & bowls, so don't fret if you forget anything. Your furry-buddy is allowed to cuddle on the couch with us or wherever they find comfort. If the weather permits and your dog is accustomed to going to the dog park, they can join us on trips to play. We have both gone through dog training programs, most recently Ted Terroux. Clean house, well cared-for, loving home. ***** Please reach out if you need a date that shows as "unavailable" as we might be able to make a special accommodation for your dog & past clients. ***** As a teacher & student, we are on summer break and have lots of availability. During the school year, we work and go to school during the week. We are able to go home mid-day for potty breaks. We we home on weekends and during breaks (Spring Break, Summer, Fall Breaks & Winter Breaks). We have several "regular" clients that have a proven track record with our dogs.... Thus, we are able to board mid-week *if* your dog is COOL (plays well, non-destructive, low flight risk), and knows how to use a doggie door. So, please send us a message as we are often available for other dates not made public on the calendar. We look forward to getting to know you and your fur baby! We have a great record of caring for our dogs and we will be able to safely and reliably take care and keep your dog safe and happy in a comfortable and clean home. We typically feed our dogs in the morning and evening, but can accommodate your pups needs. Our home is very clean and well taken care of. There is a main level in which we hang out with great room, office and kitchen. The dogs have free-roam of the main level which has laminate flooring, but covered with carpet squares as one of our dogs does not like walking on hardwood floors. So, it is mostly carpeted for her comfort. We have a large sectional in which we allow dogs to snuggle with us while watching TV. The LARGE yard is mostly grass, some mulch/landscaped trees & shrubs, with concrete patio in which we spend a lot of time dining and reading. We pick up poop DAILY. During the evening, if you request your dog could be crated in the bedroom in which one of us is sleeping as dogs are pack animals and they don't like being separated from the pack. We keep them close to us. But, we want to keep everyone safe, so the crate is available (optional) for their safety as well as ours/our pets. But again, they are slumbering in the same room with us.

“Luke was so accommodating! We had a very short notice requirement and he worked with us so well to accommodate our pups! They loved their time there and were so sad to leave. Thanks so much!!”

“Sehwa and Adam were so great! Our Nova seemed to love them and they sent updates throughout her day. They were very understanding when we had to postpone for a day due to changing work schedule and when Nova had an accident. This was our first time using Rover so Nova was probably a little extra nervous but they were so nice about it. I would highly recommend Sehwa and Adam, and would love to use them again in the future :)”

“Anna’s dog day care was amazing! We received lots of pics and videos during the day and I was able to rest easy at work knowing that my puppy was being taken such good care of. She even went on a walk in addition to the dogs getting to play out in a big yard most of the day. Anna is very trustworthy and reliable.”

“Zory and Kent are doggie sitters sent from heaven, there is not a single area where they could improve. They are so patient, accommodating, and loving to my pup. I can’t imagine better sitter out there! 100/10. THE BEST.”


About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I also have extensive animal care experience from past roles working at AZA zoos. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust and provide the kind of care that works best for them. I’m patient, kind and compassionate, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m also very active and happy to provide plenty of walks, exercise and playtime for dogs who need it. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, affectionate or independent, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated and care for them as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide dogs with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, along with regular bathroom breaks, walks, playtime and exercise. Because I’m home, dogs in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can easily adapt my schedule to their normal feeding, medication and activity routines. I genuinely enjoy having a dog by my side while I work and making sure they feel comfortable, engaged and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, bathroom breaks and any household rules. I provide plenty of attention, exercise and playtime while also respecting when a pet needs quiet time or space. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the property, and I make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also provide regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and receiving patient, compassionate care.
About: My husband and I have been taking care of friends’ dogs for years. We love them all! We’ve got a big guy of our own, who is very friendly but likely will request a meet and greet just to make sure everyone gets along prior to your first booking. My husband and I both work from home. We have pretty demanding jobs so are really able to take care of the pups before 7 and after 5. We have a fenced in yard and one big pup to keep your furry one company! Our yard is on a corner of a busy street so people and dogs walk by frequently.
“Sophie handled a concern I had as the pet parent with great care and compassion. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing care for their animals. She went above and beyond !”

About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs my whole life, so I’m comfortable reading their cues and meeting their day-to-day needs. I’d be happy to help your pet burn off energy in a safe, fun way—walks, runs, fetch, or park time if that’s part of their routine. I’m a PhD engineer new to Colorado, which means I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and excited to make some four-legged friends to care for while you’re away. You’ll get clear, structured updates during each visit/stay. I will follow your pet's normal routine. I can provide morning, mid-day, and evening walks, runs, or play time, and will ensure meals and water are on schedule as well. I care for pets by closely following their established routine with scheduled feeding, fresh water, walks or playtime, medication if needed, and intentional care based on your pet’s personality. I'll also provide updates, as per your preferences, so you can always know how your pet is doing.
“Irina and her boyfriend took excellent care of Griffin. He was so excited to be there and we received lots of pictures of the fun he was having. We enjoyed getting to know them and highly recommend them to others.”

“Melina did wonderful with Willow; she warmed up to Melina almost immediately. Melina also provided plenty of updates with pictures so I was never worried about my little girl.”

“Lauren is the best! Clearly looks out for our dog, adjusting schedules with plenty of communication and care for the weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Thank you Lauren!”

About: Hi! I'm Casey! I've owned dogs for 10 years and have 3 years of pet sitting experience. I raised my current dog from 13 weeks old, and she's the light of my life, so I know how important it is to hire a sitter you trust with your baby. I have experience with reactive and skittish dogs, and I believe that all dogs deserve rich and full lives regardless of their temperament. I also have experience administering medication and caring for dogs with health and mobility challenges. I care for all ages of dogs, from puppies to seniors. My two dogs are fun-loving and very smart, so I know how important it is to provide not only physical activity, but mental stimulation. One of my favorite things to do with my dog is practicing or learning new tricks using positive reinforcement and consistent practice, and I'd be happy to do the same with your pup! I also love taking photos of pets too and will gladly provide photo updates. Fun fact, my first ever job was at a kennel, where I took care of dogs and cats. My mom calls me a "dog professional" :) Please tell me all about your pet and their unique quirks so I can treat them the way they want to be treated <3 I work from home, so I can be flexible to accommodate your needs. I have 3 years of pet sitting experience so I already know how to make it work in my life! I always respect boundaries by reading your pet's behavior cues. Please tell me all about your pet's unique needs so I can make sure they are comfortable! I'll always leave your home exactly as you left it.
“Bethany was incredibly communicative and my pups seemed perfectly happy to be taken care of by her. She was also amazingly accommodating and supportive as I navigated having a dog walker for the first time, especially with one of my dogs who is a bit more anxious around new people.”

“Ryan dealt wonderfully with my very nervous and untrusting rescue puppy. Although the walk did not go as planned, he did an excellent job of communicating the issues with me and handling the situation professionally and calmly. Thank you for all your help!”

“Isabella was absolutely amazing. We booked her to walk our lab for a week straight while we were on vacation and she was on time (early which is always appreciated), very communicative, and was so good with our doggo. We ended up adding an additional dog walk for another dog that was at the house where ours was staying, and Isabella was okay with it and did phenomenal with both dogs in the end. Would highly highly recommend to anyone and we will utilize her in the future!”

“We have only booked twice so far, but we trust Chey (and we have already rebooked with her). She managed to get our dog to walk over a mile (maybe treat-induced); he'll only do that on hikes with us! Also, she is respectful of our home while we're away. Five stars.”

“Charlotte was fantastic! She gave our pup plenty of exercise, love, and attention while we were away for the day. We came back to a very happy dog. I would absolutely book with Charlotte again!”
