“Micki sent a lot of pictures of Zuul having fun. She was very attentive to her needs and very prompt in her responses. I wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch Zuul again.”
“Chelsea watched our six month old puppy while we were traveling and he loved it! He has a second home now. We received regular updates and pics of him and that helped us to stay in touch. Will I recommend Chelsea? Hell yea! :)”
“When our dog, Lucy, was reluctant to eat and was a bit timid around the other dogs, Stephanie went the extra mile to entice Lucy to eat and to make her feel comfortable. We got plenty of daily updates and photos. Our experience with Stephanie was terrific, and we will not hesitate to have Lucy stay there again.”
“Stephanie and Robert are amazing! Our 2 year old black lab came home so happy and tired after her 5 day stay with them. We also received daily pictures and updates from Stephanie which was awesome! We have already booked our next stay with them! Highly recommended!”
“Craig and Susan did a great job watching our dog. I was a little worried leaving her with someone new because she is very big and rambunctious and can be a handful sometimes, but she settled in and did great! She also got along great with their 3 other dogs and cat. Craig and Susan will be the 1st sitters we contact whenever we need a sitter!”
“Smudge had a great stay with Summer. We got pictures everyday, and I know he had a great time. So great to be able to go and not worry. Thanks, Summer!”
“We absolutely loved Tami as our pet sitter! She was so kind and we knew our pets were loved during their stay! She bought our pups treats and had toys for play; such a nice gesture. She was extremely responsive throughout the stay and sent updates regularly. We were traveling through town and we were so happy to find Tami!”
“Amber is the best! She had everything a pup could ask for. Sleeping quarters, big yard, 4 legged friends and an awesome son to play with them all. Definitely will use her services in the future!”
“Alina and her family are wonderful! Amazing communication, quick to respond and sent daily updates. Forest loved the yard and playing tug of war, he was in great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“Max had the time of his life - again! Margaret and Mike are the very best care takers anyone could ask for. Let’s not forget Ella, she puts up with my crazy dog in her face all the time and never get angry. So happy I found M&M.”
“Mary Jo is amazing! Our girl was treated like family, and we enjoyed the photo updates. We’re so glad to have have found her, and look forward to booking another stay for our pup again soon.”
“Stephen and his family were amazing! Would 100% have my goldendoodle stay with them again! So grateful for the love and all the photos! My pup clearly had a great time!”
“Noemi was outstanding! I was a little nervous as our recently rescued dog is very timid. Noemi kept her busy with plenty of walk, play and nap time. She also sent multiple pictures or texts each day. Her little dachshund/beagle is clearly used to having sleepovers, so not territorial or jealous about sharing his mom. I especially liked that Noemi only takes one dog (two if they’re siblings) at a time, so less chaotic. We will definitely use Noemi again!!”
“Kristy & Nathan were wonderful!!! They were attentive and knowledgeable with our very young puppy. They gave us frequent updates and our puppy is happy, and tired after a fun weekend away! Thank you again!”
“This was my first occasion to board my dogs my dogs with anyone while I went on vacation. I spent a great deal of time researching to make certain that they were in the best place. I do believe that I got lucky. Megan and Aaron are two of the nicest people I’ve ever met under any circumstance, and they have the same love of dogs that I have. They sent pictures while I was on vacation of the dogs enjoying themselves, and I think that they had a better time with Megan and Aaron than they do with me. Scrappy came in and could barely speak to me!😳I think he wanted to stay with his sitters! Bottom line - I don’t think there are any sitters out there better than Megan and Aaron, and if my dogs could talk, I think that they would tell you the same thing. Thank you so much for all that you did with my pooches. If I go out of town again, I will be sure to book them with these two special people!”
“I highly recommend Micah. Her communication was great. She sent photos of my Bella. Bella was a happy dog and she loved her doggie bag. I enjoyed reading her report card and loved her framed photo w/ Laila. We will definitely rebook with Micah.”

“Kate was phenomenal with our cats, it was clear they were spoiled with so much love and care! We got descriptive visit notes and abundant pictures/videos (she even let us know about a hailstorm while we were gone!) Kate will absolutely be our go to from now on, we couldn’t recommend her enough :)”
“Sauni did a wonderful job watching Norm. She really took the time to know his personality and little quirks in the few days she was with him. The pictures and updates were very thorough and it was so easy to communicate with her. I had forgotten to leave out cleaning instructions in case Norm got sick, but she was very proactive and used her best judgement to clean it up. I really appreciated her not just leaving it even when she wasn't able to reach me right away. We are so excited to have found Sauni and will be rebooking her next month!”
“Christine does so well with my elderly kitty! I was so nervous to be traveling for almost 2 weeks but Christine made sure my baby was taking her meds, eating regularly, and gave her lots of love in my absence. She is my go-to sitter!”
“Stephanie was very responsive, helpful, and attentive to our pets. She was even able to come in during the deep freeze this year, and asked about our chickens welfare as well. Great job!”
“Elise was so sweet and showed my little Lucy so much love. I was very blessed to have someone so trustful and knowledgeable taking care of my sweet sweet girl.”
“Laura was great with our kitties while we were away. She spent solid play time with my outgoing two and even got our shy one to engage! Great communication, highly recommend.”

“Kristen took great care of our young, playful cats while we were new to the neighborhood and needed to travel. She was super responsive, kind, and communicative. Will definitely use her as a sitter again!”
“Parker did a great job checking in on my cat! He made sure to send me pictures even when she was hiding like the shy girl that she is. Very clear and prompt communication and I felt at easy with the entire process. Thanks Parker!”
“Holli has watched my cat, Dennis, multiple times. She’s easy to communicate with, very professional, and always on top of every detail. She sends great photo updates, and most importantly, Dennis is a big fan!”
“We have had her watch our cats 4 times maybe 5! She is great! Wonderful communicator, timely, and professional! Will continue to use her for our pet sitting needs!”
“Bailey did a great job taking care of my cats, snakes, lizards, and frogs! I was very impressed with her ability to handle some unexpected situations like fixing malfunctioning automatic feeders and cleaning up a cat mess. She communicated clearly and promptly about any issues. She followed all of my detailed instructions for a wide variety of animal species. I would highly recommend Bailey for your in home pet care needs.”
“Brenna was so communicative and attentive to my sweet kitty. She is a long haired kitty and Brenna brushed her every day. She sent lots of pictures and took care of her and cleaned up when needed. I already asked her for more dates to get her on the calendar for next month.”
“Ryan was definitely helpful in watching my two fur babies for drop-in visits. Ryan did everything that needed to do around the house and always snapped a photo so I can be updated twice a day. I definitely recommend Ryan & will continue to use Ryan when my wife and I go out of town.”

“Mishelle is awesome. She really went above and beyond for my cat, doing things with her expertise that I didn't even ask for. Thank you so much!”
“Once again, Jillian did an amazing job taking care of my kitties. She updated me thoroughly and took many pictures while I was away. She was great with my shy cat. She’s always extremely trustworthy and great at what she does.”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Heather, James and Murray took great care of Sonny for the evening! He was tuckered out when he got home. We always trust them to take good care of our boy and we are so grateful for them!”
About: As someone who works from home, I am able to give your pet as much attention as possible while you’re away! My dog is part of my family, and I always care for other pets the way I would hope others would care for mine. I am able to match my day to your dog’s needs, which means I’m always available to take them on walks, out to play, or for a potty break when they need it. I have a cozy home and a 2-year-old dog who loves making new friends. We also have an onsite dog area and that makes it easy to take dogs out for fresh air!
“Micki was awesome! I dropped my 3 month old puppy off at her house for his first ever doggy daycare experience and I felt very comfortable because she sent me pictures throughout the visit and was easy to get ahold of. I highly recommend Micki if you’re looking for a sitter!”
“Needed someone to watch my kitten for a few hours while I was at school. Kendra was really nice and accommodating and provided pictures, even during her short visit. Will book again! :)”
“Ashley was so great with my 5 month old pup, Rev! Her doggies were super friendly and gentle and got along really well with my energetic boy. When we picked Rev up he was very regulated and tired from playing all day. I really appreciate you Ashley!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Sir Wayne and little Miss Yuki!!!! I can tell they were very much loved during their visit. They felt comfortable enough to give kisses and play! I’m just so grateful you were able to help and on such short notice. You guys are the best! And your dogs too were such good playmates for my fur balls of energy.”
“Taylor and her family were amazing! Our pup loved them and their dog, Hailey. My wife and I needed to go to Longmont for the day, and we dropped our pup off at 10am and picked her up at 8pm. Taylor provided potty and feeding updates, and sent some cute photos to us. We will definitely be utilizing her services again!”
“How can you tell when you’ve found a great pet sitter? Your dog can’t wait to get out of the car and rushes to their door! Gracie absolutely loves coming here. ❤️”
“I feel so lucky to have found Autumn and Daniel (and Arlo of course). Our puppy can be needy and high energy but they took amazing care of her and she loved the day! Will definitely use them again!”
“Julia helped us out last minute with care, and we will forever be grateful. She even took the time to trim my pups long nails. Thanks Julia! I highly recommend her services.”
“Took our lab puppy, Danger, for an intro visit with Heather before our long trip beginning next week. She came home tired and zonked out immediately! She had a great playdate!! Looking forward to having her stay with Heather for her summer vacation ☀️🐶🐾”
“I originally booked Charlie for pet sitting but our new puppy guarded a toy during the meet and greet so we suddenly felt unsure. Charlie offered a pet sit to see if it was nerves and something we could work past. She was patient with Partner and provided updates and a million photos. Thank you!”
“Sarah is amazing! She was very accommodating, incredibly sweet to my fur baby, and so understanding when he was feeling anxious. It was his first time away from our family and when we picked him up he was in such a great mood. We got the best pictures and it felt so good to know he was in good hands. I HIGHLY recommend Sarah!”
“Felecia cares deeply for the animals she sees. She takes time to understand their needs and routines. High maintenance dogs or dogs that haven't been trained are not a deal breaker for her. I was very worried about bringing my dog over since he can be a handful, but Felecia was willing to take care of him. She gave me thorough feedback about his stay when I picked him up. Your dog is in good hands with her.”
“Barbara did an amazing job taking care of my pups! It’s like they were on a 5-star vacation. They were super thrilled to be at her house, and I think they want to go back already.”
“Barkley loves going to Niki’s! He gets so excited every time. I know he has a great time because he’s always so pooped when he comes home, which is rare for him! Highly recommend!”

“Stephany walked my dog Delilah and she was great. She was prompt, efficient, fairly priced and most important very caring when it came to the care of my doggo. She understands that my dog is a big part of my life and she treated her like she was family. She gave great reports about Delilah's walks and if she had fun and made sure to let me know if she went to the restroom. If I need a walker again I will surely pick her.”
“My babies loved their time with Brittani, and I appreciated the good communication, reliability, and ability to accommodate a last minute request. Highly recommend!”
“Heather is the very best of the best. She is communicative, beyond kind, and extremely reliable. Our lab so looks forward to her visits and we are forever grateful to have found Heather, who genuinely loves our pup the way we do!”
About: http://www.rover.com/sit/athens71619 Experienced with medication administration (oral, topical) Daily photo/video updates so you never wonder how they're doing In-home overnight care to keep routines consistent 20+ years caring for dogs, cats, and some exotics alike. Pet care is a steady, built-in part of my day rather than something I have to squeeze in. In the morning, I feed my cat, which also gives me a natural reason to get up and start the day with some fresh air and movement. When pet sitting dogs evenings are usually the most involved part of the routine — a longer walk or play session, feeding, and some downtime together, like brushing them or just relaxing on the couch. I also handle the weekly tasks on a set day: cleaning their bedding or litter box, washing food and water bowls thoroughly. Overall, I see pet care less as a chore and more as a rhythm that keeps me consistent and grounded — it gives structure to my day whether things are calm or hectic. When I care for pets in a client's home, I start by following the routine and instructions the owner has given me as closely as possible, since consistency helps pets feel secure even when their person is away. I stick to their regular feeding times and portions, make sure fresh water is always available, and follow any specific dietary or medication instructions exactly as written. For walks and exercise, I keep to the pet's normal schedule and pace, paying attention to their energy level and any physical limitations. Indoors, I spend time on play and companionship — not just the basic tasks — since many pets get anxious or lonely when their owner is gone, and a little extra attention goes a long way. I'm also mindful of the home itself: I make sure doors and gates are secured, clean up any messes right away, and leave the space as tidy as I found it. If I notice anything unusual — a change in appetite, behavior, or a health concern — I contact the owner right away and document it, along with photos or notes if needed. Before and after each visit, I send updates to the owner so they know their pet is safe, fed, and happy, which also gives them peace of mind while they're away.
“She was a very good walker. It was very quick for us to get the details down and she was prompt getting there at the agreed time plus my dog loved her.”
“She was so great, accommodating & super close to my location. I appreciated the fact she took the heat into consideration. Definitely will use her again.”
“Rachel helped take care of our pups when we needed a walker with little notice. She went above and beyond and helped when one of our pups had a GI issue, communicated everything and helped give us a peace of mind the situation was under control when we were busy clinically. Would not hesitate to recommend Rachel without reservations and trust her wholeheartedly. Thanks again!”
“I highly recommend Parker for your pet needs! He has been wonderful when taking care of my poppy for her walks. He provides prompt updates and photos and is very communicative to ensure to provide the best care.”

“I am so thankful that Maddy was able to bond with my skittish dog! It gave me not only peace of mind but also put a smile on my face each time I saw the daily pictures she posted.”
About: Hi! I’m Morgan! I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, including horses, cats, and dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me! I currently have a sweet and silly 1.5 year old Frenchie who keeps me on my toes! I recently lost my 11year old German Shepherd, and I’ve found myself really missing that daily companionship. I’d love to share that extra time, care, and affection with your furry family members. I have experience with a wide range of dogs from pups who need strict feeding schedules, senior pups who require patience & care, to large (95lb+) reactive dogs who require solo walks and extra attention. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. You can trust that I’ll care for your pets just like you would, with lots of love, respect, and attention! (Huxley will not be joining during house sitting appointments unless your request him too. :)) I work from home so I have flexibility for local daily drop ins & walks, after work walks, or weekend care. We can discuss your needs and see how that works best for your requirements! I’ll follow any requirements you have for caring for your pets in your home! I am happy to discuss further to make sure I can fulfill your pets needs.
“Our pups always excited to see Julia enter :-) appreciate she adjust the walk based on pups energy especially for our little one who does not want anything to do with the cold lol.”
“We had a great experience with Paige! She was excellent at communicating before, during, and after every walk, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She always left thoughtful updates about what they worked on together and how things went. Our dog is a newly adopted shelter pup with lots of energy, and it was clear she genuinely cared about giving her the attention, structure, and care she needs. You can tell she truly loves dogs and takes her work seriously. We really appreciated her patience, reliability, and the effort she put into helping our rambunctious boy thrive. Highly recommend!”
“Christine is wonderful she took her time to be sure that our Gracie was comfortable with her before taking her for her first walk. I feel Gracie is very well taken care of.”

Will definitely use them again, and recommend to others who need a sitter. Great experience!”
“Patricia took wonderful care of our senior Labrador Juno, sending regular updates and photos. Juno came home happy and healthy and clearly enjoyed her stay very much. I would definitely book Patricia again, and have no hesitation in recommending her!”
“Barbara did an amazing job taking care of our dog Diesel over Christmas. The pictures and updates she sent each night were so great and put our minds at ease that he was having a good time socializing with the other dogs while we were gone. When we picked him up he was so worn out from all the fun with his new friends he barely woke up to eat and went back to sleep the rest of the night!”
