“My dog did great with Delane and her family while we were gone for over two weeks. Delane kept in great touch with photos and my dog got to enjoy the fenced in back yard and some other dog friends. He had a great stay!”
“Our dog Allie had a wonderful time and was very comfortable for her first overnight stay. They were extremely responsive and kept us updated with pics! Will absolutely be using your services again!”
“We loved having our chihuahua Bertie stay with Maggie! She was flexible when we had to drop off early and pick up late, and she was good about communicating with us while we were away. Bertie seemed to get along well with her elderly small dog, and he seemed very comfortable with her when we came to pick him up. We will definitely try to book with Maggie in the future.”
“This was the second time Curtis and his wife took care of our dog, Bono, and once again they were amazing. They treated him like their own and gave us complete peace of mind over the holidays. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them again.”
“Shanik was a really great host for my dog, Violet. She was warm and welcoming, clearly loves dogs, and her 2 dogs were great companions for Violet during her stay. She had never stayed in another family's home before, and Shanik make it easy. She also sent lots of pictures each day I was away and gave regular updates so it was clear that Violet was having a great time.”
“Kimberly took amazing care of my dog, Champ, while I was away! She communicated with me, sent lots of pictures, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Champ came home happy and completely worn out from all the playing and love he received. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“A very good experience and great communiction between me and the host. Lots of photos shared and the hosts were very quick to respond. I got done with my trip early and they had no problem working with me to pick up my dog earlier than expected. I will be using them again when I am in the area. Thank you. Brent and Harvey.”
“Georgia took great care of Zia! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She handled Zia's special diet and medications with ease and was very attentive to all her needs. Highly recommend!”
“Sing-Chun, or Sally does a fabulous job. Great upstairs bedroom when an awesome window for kitty to sit high and scope the environment. She took care of my attention hogging kitty and brainstormed ways to entertain/occupy him. He is one spoiled cat. Thank you.”
“Sidney was great and gave me many updates on my pup. My dog loved her golden retriever. She looked like she had a bunch of fun. I would definitely use her for future dog boarding needs!”
“We had a great experience with Alex. He is very kind and is a dog lover. He was great with communication and drop off pickup and being flexible with our times. He let us enjoy our trip but sent a few messages and took amazing photos of our dog Chip. He was thoughtful and gave us some prints and a magnet of his photography of our cutie pup Chip. We will definitely be using Alex again. Thank you!”
“Addison was so accommodating, easy to communicate with and sweet with my dog! She sent updates and pictures, and took great care of her. Highly recommend and hope to book with her again in the future :)”
“My dog had a great time with Madeline. Madeline took her for lots of walks, and she handled my dog's anxiety/reactivity wonderfully. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kristina was fantastic with our pup, who can be a little reserved with new people. She was patient & kind, and provided lots of pics / updates while we were gone. Kristina has a beautiful space, great yard with amazing views & 2 adorable dogs for Sadie to play with. It made our weekend away easier knowing Sadie was in good hands 😊”
“Sarah was incredible at taking care of our high energy puppy. Luna had the best time playing outside and with other dogs that were around! We look forward to using her again 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!”
“We weren’t able to book our normal sitter for our dog reactive pup and thought we’d have to miss a family trip until we met with Chris. Chris met with us and our pup a couple times very close to the date of the trip a to make sure our dog was comfortable in the new environment with new person. Once it seemed like he was, we talked through our dogs reactivity with Chris who was very attentive and understanding. He even went out of his way to let his neighbor (who has a dog) know he’d have a reactive pup there which was very thoughtful. During the trip, Chris gave us great updates and we felt good knowing he was in good hands. If we need a sitter again for any period of time, Chris will definitely be top of mind. Thanks Chris!”
“My older dog Santo did well with Jacqueline's gentle care. She understood his limitations, especially regarding heat. He had plenty of toys, and was able to play with her well behaved dogs. Jacqueline runs a tight ship, which I appreciate.”

“Rikku was great! He got to know our cat Boots quickly and boots warmed right up to him. When we got home boots seemed happy and comfortable. Would recommend Rikku!”
“K was an amazing sitter and house guest!! Our girls were in such a happy mood, barely missed us which is such a great sign of being well taken care of. Button was very filled out (healthy and good from her meds) which is a balance many sitters don’t get exactly right. She also took great care of our house and many packages that arrived while we were away. 20/10 recommend for your pets and house!”
About: Hi there! I am a complete animal lover whether it's cats or dogs. I have had a cat for about 10 years now, taken care of her in various ways and I would be more than happy to take care of your cat and fill whatever needs they may have! I'm incredibly flexible and a caring person so your cat would be in good hands. I hope we can get in touch soon!
About: I've owned cats since I was a child, but I first started working with them in a more professional setting when I started volunteering at the Hornell Humane Society. Since 2023 I've rescued 6 cats, and have successfully found loving homes for all of them. It all started with a young grey tabby cat named Katherine, who currently lives with my mothers partner. Last summer I rescued a litter of 5 kittens, 3 boys and 2 girls. I hand raised them from 4 weeks until I found them good homes. I currently own 2 cats, 2 girls named Juniper and Olive Oil! Both were adopted from the Hornell Humane Society in late 2024.
“Olivia was great! She came through for me at the last minute, let me know how my cats were doing while I was gone and followed instructions perfectly. My house was clean and well taken care of when I got home.”
About: I grew up with two dogs and regularly dog sat and walked for about 8 years. I hope to continue this now that I live in boulder because I love and miss my dogs! I am a student, so my schedule varies but I am usually free in the mornings and late afternoons. Overall I have a very flexible schedule. I am a flexible person and can accommodate to mostly any needs. My current housing does not allow animals, I am more interested in walking
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle attention. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, reinforcing training routines, and providing plenty of exercise and enrichment. I am a college student, but am great about scheduling drop-ins, or walks in between classes as needed. I am also available for extended overnight stays! I prioritize clear communication and reliability, so you can count on me to show up consistently and on time. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, routines, and house rules to maintain consistency. I double-check doors, leashes, and gates to ensure security at all times. I also provide updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. I aim to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for.
About: I just moved back to Colorado from Southern CA where I used work for a non-profit where I train dogs to become service dogs for individuals with disabilities! I can handle large groups of dogs and love giving special attention to any pet :) I had cats and dogs growing up and during college, I watched many of my friends’ dogs for a few hours, up to a few weeks. ** message me if you have scheduling questions! I can be more accommodating than this app’s calendar :) I work full-time, so I am looking to help watch pets on weekends and over the upcoming winter holiday season. I am comfortable staying at a client's home and doing longer-term pet care as long as the animal can be alone during the day for an 8 hour work day. If your home is near Oceanside, I can stop in during my lunch break to let your pets out to toilet. I will keep dogs on leash unless in a trusted, enclosed area. For safety reasons, I will not be using a Flexi-leash. I will always make sure your pet has ample clean water. I am more than happy to send photos and updates on your pet while they're in my care! As of July 12, I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross, and for my job, I have been trained to be alert to allergic reactions and typical dog stats.
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including administering medications and caring for a diabetic cat that required insulin injections. I cared for 2 cats for a whole summer, I have provided drop-in visits, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and overnight care, and I understand the importance of maintaining a cat’s routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I treat every cat as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection.
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Leandra! She was professional, responsive, and clearly passionate about animals. She followed all the instructions I provided and I received regular updates including text messages and photos which really put my mind at ease. When I returned home, my cat seemed happy, healthy, and well cared for — and my home was just as I left it. I will definitely hire Leandra again in the future!”
About: I am a huge dog lover who loves fetching with them, playing with them, and giving them tons of loves!! I love walking them if that’s part of their routine, and am just overjoyed to be able to hang out with them and give them a safe space while their humans are away! I have had and cared for dogs for over a decade and am very comfortable with all breeds and schedules. I am a part time student who has plenty of time over the summer. I’m happy to stay at the home so that your dog is in their safe space. I am very big on making sure they get the exercise and play that they need to stay feeling happy! My work shifts from time to time will keep me out of the house for ~6 hours at a time, but if that is unfitting of your dogs needs I’m happy to ensure that my work doesn’t overlap with my time staying with them. I am careful to be aware of the dogs schedule in your home and ensure that feeding, exercise, and sleep routines are maintained to ensure your dogs comfort. I will always make sure to carefully adhere to instruction, I am here to make the best possible environment for your dog(s) and nothing less!

“Nicholas was great quick and easy to communicate with. He took our dog Shaka on all his errands for the day (mostly indoors because it was super cold) and hung out with him at his work. Shaka was relaxed and asleep when I collected him.”
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!
“Our dog Ollie is generally pretty anxious when we leave him away. With Rui, he calmed down really quickly and they had a great day! Rui provided updates and many pictures at the conclusion of Ollie’s stay”
“After struggling to find a pet sitter that would take an intact male on short notice, we got a super quick reply from Noah. He took many pictures, and our dog had a blast during his day there. Good fenced in yard”

About: Growing up with pets, I’ve always had a deep connection with animals. My background in energy healing helps me tune into each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. After a decade of not having my pets, I'm deeply deficient in animal cuddles - I make up for it by showering my furry clients with extra affection, belly rubs, and snuggles. Whether your pet needs a calming presence, senior care, or just an adventure buddy, I provide attentive, personalized care so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your fur family! I have a few recurring weekly meetings that I can join remotely, so I am available to housesit any time as long as there is steady internet. I am available to dog walk or make home visits in the afternoons. I can only provide care for pets in a client's home, as several elderly rescue dogs are living out their best lives at my home.
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. Mabel is friendly and welcoming to all pups. No yard, but Boulder is our backyard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and I treat every pup like my own. 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!
“Celia and Mark took excellent care of my dog, Winston! He has separation anxiety so I was quite nervous to leave him with someone else but they handled it beautifully! He got a lot of play time and a walk, and loved running around in their yard. Celia and Mark kept me updated with pictures and videos so I knew he was doing well. I highly recommend them!”
About: Although I am long distance from my fur best friends right now, I’ve grown up caring for dogs my entire life, including senior dogs and pups with disabilities. I also raised a rambunctious yellow Lab puppy on my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every dog deserves patience, love, and attentive care, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. As a college student, I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love—caring for animals. My class schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to relax indoors. There is almost always someone home to provide attention, companionship, and care, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am a caring, responsible household and will treat your pet like a member of the family while they’re in my care.

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!
“Brad was super responsive from the beginning of the booking process to the actual service. He arrived on time, was super sweet with our dog and left informative notes. He clearly loves animals and getting out with them. I look forward to having Brad help us out again!”
“Would give Jennifer 11 stars if I could! She was helpful, diligent, and so good with our Bridger! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the best for their pet!”
“Can't say enough good things about Ona!, their schedule is very flexible and they work with me with last minute requests and do a wonderful job. My beautiful little dog is always super happy when I come home and not too too fully energetic.”
About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. 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 do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!
About: I care quite a lot about animals. I have great communication skills and I’m very flexible. I strive to make sure everything goes smoothly to ensure that owner is anxiety free. Not much daily care though I am currently a full time student. But this upcoming fall I have 4 days of open time to be able to be around much more. And staying flexible. Safety is extremely important for me to have care for any animal. Whether that’s mine or someone else’s. I want this experience leaving your animal with someone to be a positive experience and stress less.

As a creative industries business owner, I have the flexibility of working remotely with WIFI access. I am a neat, quiet and organized homebody, and like to spend my time with books and music in the company of loving creatures. I work remotely, so I have tons of flexibility to care for your animals as you like. I am comfortable with all pet care routines. I love to cuddle and care for your pet and can be trusted to follow instructions well - the daily walks are my zen! I am trustworthy and responsible and your fur baby will love me.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them independently since I was 14 years old. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their dogs while they were away. I recently lost my own dog, which made me realize how much I truly love being around them. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs different levels of attention, exercise, and affection. I enjoy long walks, playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, and just simply having a buddy. My goal is always to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will provide probably too many photos and updates. My schedule is fairly flexible, I work part time as a private caregiver for an elderly couple. I have lots of free time and I do my best to accommodate each dog’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my routine. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability and make sure your dog gets the attention and care they deserve. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a family member, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I will carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding routines, feeding, medications, exercise, and house rules.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and comfort with pets who have special needs. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes—from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra support. I’m experienced in administering oral medications, using doggy diapers, and providing gentle, attentive care to aging pets. I’ve also cared for cats and understand their unique personalities and routines. I treat every animal like my own, with patience, compassion, and attention to detail. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I currently volunteer at dog shelters and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time, energy, and attention to the pets I care for. Since animals are already a big part of my life, I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I always want the pets I care for to feel comfortable, happy, and truly fulfilled. Whether that means playtime with their favorite toys, a fun run outside, or a peaceful stroll, I tailor their care to what brings them joy. I make sure they have everything they need—plenty of food, water, comfort, and affection—so they never feel without or stressed. I'm incredibly attentive to their needs and committed to giving them my full care and focus. I also prioritize open communication with you, so you’ll always feel informed, reassured, and connected to your pet while you're away.

About: I grew up with two dogs and regularly dog sat and walked for about 8 years. I hope to continue this now that I live in boulder because I love and miss my dogs! I am a student, so my schedule varies but I am usually free in the mornings and late afternoons. Overall I have a very flexible schedule. I am a flexible person and can accommodate to mostly any needs. My current housing does not allow animals, I am more interested in walking
About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Over the years, I have worked with multiple families providing dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting. I have stayed with pets for very long periods of time and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including administering medications and caring for a diabetic cat that required insulin injections. I am comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship. I currently have a very flexible schedule and work remotely, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting, including longer bookings and last-minute requests when my schedule permits. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on being responsible, attentive, and trustworthy. Along with caring for your pets, I make sure your home is kept clean, secure, and well looked after while you’re away.
“Rikku was so kind and was able to accommodate a last minute walk for our pup! They were really communicative about pickup and drop off. And of course our dog had a blast! Thank you!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and older pets. I’m really patient and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I think that personal care really makes a difference. I’m a student at CU Boulder, and taking care of pets fits really well into my routine. I’m fully available on weekends and love spending time with dogs whenever I get the chance. Unfortunately, having my own dog doesn’t quite fit into my life yet, so I really enjoy caring for dogs through Rover. I live in a large two-story home with plenty of space for pets to play and relax. Although I don’t have a big yard, I love to go on regular walks and play outside as much as possible. Whether in my home or yours i try to give each pet lots of love, attention, and updates to their owner.
About: Hello! I’m from Boston, MA and am in Boulder for graduate school. I grew up around cats, dogs, reptiles, hamster, you name it! I can’t have any animals in my current home and miss my cat and dog dearly. My family dog Moose (Silver Lab) is a therapy dog and I’ve had amazing experience with service dogs in the educational setting, so I have an understanding of the importance of animals in our lives. I can’t wait to bring my years of pet care experience and love to your furry family member:) As a grad student, my schedule is very flexible. This allows me to let your pet out midday, as well as support you and your pet during the typical 9-5. I additionally have a car and can easily reach areas outside of central Boulder. Due to the nature of school work and my research work, I’m able to be at home with your pet as consistently as you require. I’ve seen how pets can fear abandonment when their owners leave, so my ability to be present with your pet will not only support their health, but also their well-being. I believe I’m a very trust worthy individual, due to my experience as a high school teacher as well as my vetting process to become a funded PhD student. I take pride in the work I do, and that extends to caring for your pet.
About: Hello! I'm a friendly and compassionate human who is ready to care for your animal when life is busy or hectic. I'm very genuine and trust-worthy and promise to follow instructions carefully so that your loved one stays happy and well. I've lived with animals most of my life and pet sit for friends and family regularly. While I'm in a transitional time in my life, I have all the time in the world to take your pet on a nice walk (I also LOVE the outdoors), or to the local dog park, and make sure they get a meal if needed. Here to make your life easier, don't hesitate to contact me and I hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I’m available after 4pm Monday-Thursday, and fully available throughout the weekend. I’m currently enrolled in a full-time education program, so being able to have control over my scheduling with others is very helpful. I have two cats in my home, they’re able to be kept in a room if I’m with a dog that is cat adverse or has a strong hunting instinct. We have a nice patio, but no yard. We live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks and close by to parks. I can tailor our itinerary depending on the pet’s needs and am eager to do so. I love being active and outdoors and so do most of the animals I watch.

“Our dog Allie had a wonderful time and was very comfortable for her first overnight stay. They were extremely responsive and kept us updated with pics! Will absolutely be using your services again!”
“Kimberly took amazing care of my dog, Champ, while I was away! She communicated with me, sent lots of pictures, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Champ came home happy and completely worn out from all the playing and love he received. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
“A very good experience and great communiction between me and the host. Lots of photos shared and the hosts were very quick to respond. I got done with my trip early and they had no problem working with me to pick up my dog earlier than expected. I will be using them again when I am in the area. Thank you. Brent and Harvey.”
“Georgia took great care of Zia! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She handled Zia's special diet and medications with ease and was very attentive to all her needs. Highly recommend!”
“Sidney was great and gave me many updates on my pup. My dog loved her golden retriever. She looked like she had a bunch of fun. I would definitely use her for future dog boarding needs!”
“We had a great experience with Alex. He is very kind and is a dog lover. He was great with communication and drop off pickup and being flexible with our times. He let us enjoy our trip but sent a few messages and took amazing photos of our dog Chip. He was thoughtful and gave us some prints and a magnet of his photography of our cutie pup Chip. We will definitely be using Alex again. Thank you!”
“My dog had a great time with Madeline. Madeline took her for lots of walks, and she handled my dog's anxiety/reactivity wonderfully. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Kristina was fantastic with our pup, who can be a little reserved with new people. She was patient & kind, and provided lots of pics / updates while we were gone. Kristina has a beautiful space, great yard with amazing views & 2 adorable dogs for Sadie to play with. It made our weekend away easier knowing Sadie was in good hands 😊”
“Sarah was incredible at taking care of our high energy puppy. Luna had the best time playing outside and with other dogs that were around! We look forward to using her again 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!”
“We weren’t able to book our normal sitter for our dog reactive pup and thought we’d have to miss a family trip until we met with Chris. Chris met with us and our pup a couple times very close to the date of the trip a to make sure our dog was comfortable in the new environment with new person. Once it seemed like he was, we talked through our dogs reactivity with Chris who was very attentive and understanding. He even went out of his way to let his neighbor (who has a dog) know he’d have a reactive pup there which was very thoughtful. During the trip, Chris gave us great updates and we felt good knowing he was in good hands. If we need a sitter again for any period of time, Chris will definitely be top of mind. Thanks Chris!”
“My older dog Santo did well with Jacqueline's gentle care. She understood his limitations, especially regarding heat. He had plenty of toys, and was able to play with her well behaved dogs. Jacqueline runs a tight ship, which I appreciate.”
“This was my first Rover experience so I was a little nervous to leave Indie with someone new (admittedly, I'm a rather needy pet parent - oops! :) ) Della was so thorough in explanation her daily routine with doggie visitors during our meet and greet a local park. Indie is a pretty shy with new people, and Della completely respected Indie's pace to earn her trust. Della has a radiantly warm and positive energy. Her calm confidence and compassion helped put both Indie and me at ease for her first overnight sleepover party. I received plenty of photos of Indie joyfully leaping around the park with the other doggie guests - and very prompt responses - which I so appreciate. Della somehow even captured a photo Indie with her floppy ears completely airborne as she ran around with other dogs - which made me laugh and is now my phone wallpaper. When I went to pick her up the next morning, her sweet daughter Uma parted with her with plenty of hugs and kisses. What a sweet family Indie is lucky to reside with when I'm out of town. We're lucky to have found Della & Uma!”
“Charissa and Colin were great and I got lots of photos of our dog relaxing and getting some walks in. We will definitely reach out to Charissa again the next time we need to leave town without our pup.”
“Our dog had the best time staying with Meghan and Hakon! They made our time away from our pup easy with updates, photos, and genuine care for our dog. We felt confident she was in good hands!”
“This was my second time using Tigran. I felt like the pups were very well taken care of and loved. He sent me videos every day. Great communicator and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend.”
“Elise sent plenty of pictures and took excellent care of my dog. Would highly recommend her, and plan on using her rover services again in the future!”
“Rachel is not only an extraordinary pet sitter, but she is an extraordinary person. Kind and delightful. She was wonderful with Buddha Bear and sent us lots of "Pupdates" of their walks, feeding, and hanging out in the yard. I know Bear had a great time. It was a bit challenging for us because we moved to the area less than two weeks ago, so we know our dog may be a little anxious at the moment with the move and everything that comes with it. Rachael was so patient with him, and he stayed with her while she was working. I couldn't speak more highly of her. I know Buddha Bear really loved her.”
