“Misty and her family always take special care with Finley to ensure he gets the attention, care, support and nutrition he needs to be healthy and happy. I am always relieved when I pick up my dog, and he is so happy.”
“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!”
“Georgia is both professional and personable. She is a good communicator. She was flexible when we experienced unexpected delays on our trip. And she took great care of Mango.”
“Maggie was an outstanding dogsitter for Sally! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and kept me updated the entire time. It was clear Sally had a great time with her, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Maggie for anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter!”
“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.”
“Kimberly was incredible with my dogs. One is terrified of fireworks so we were hesitant to leave her over the Fourth of July. Kimberly got her cozy with a sound machine and lots of love. My other dog is a paralyzed high maintenance gal and Kimberly didn’t shy away from learning her routine at all. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to leave your babies and not be worried about them the whole time. And she sent lots of sweet photos! Thank you!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Our pup had a great weekend at Mitzi’s! She sent us photos throughout and gave us feedback on how he did when we picked him up. She has a huge fenced in yard and really cares about the dogs!”
“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.”
“Alex and Jeffery were wonderful with our Bella! Such a sweet family they gave Bella lots of love and care! We knew she was well taking care of had great walks and was deeply loved. We felt so comfortable leaving the country knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. They have an incredibly large backyard so lots of room to run and play. We loved the photo updates and knowing how Bella was doing. I highly recommend them. She will be back with them again soon!”
“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!”
“Amy was great to work with! She gave Dixie a lot of love and attention with lots of updates! You can tell she loves dogs and is attentive to details. Would definitely recommend and would leave my girl with her anytime!”
“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”
“Julia is an absolute gem!! 💎 She greeted Kaya at her door and before I even had her bag out, she’d found Kaya’s favorite spot to be petted! I felt so comfortable knowing my girl was with a wonderful pet sitter, it helped make my weekend that much better. The communication was great - the photos and video of her enjoying her best life with Julia’s dog 🐶 and out walking made me smile and know I made the best decision for her. Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
About: My dog is my top priority, and yours will be too! I’m able to take your dog on hikes, runs, and have some fun time with my almost 2 year old husky/heeler mix. Lots of cuddles, exercise, and fun time, while ensuring proper dog to dog boundaries. I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time, and so am able to provide care for your pets throughout the day. I am unable to care for dogs under 1 year old. Additionally your dog must be: 1) dog friendly, with no history of aggression towards dogs 2) people friendly 3) house trained 4) sleeps through the night I have a fenced yard and one playful two year old husky/heeler mix. Care can include yard play time, leashed walks, hikes, or runs, depending on the needs of your dog! I am also able to keep up with training and obedience with your dog, whether that includes reactivity, leash walking, jumping etc. A meet and greet is required before I am able to book new dogs.
“Sophie was awesome, she did a great job communicating with me, and handled a last minute, slightly scattered booking like a boss. Bruno loved being at the house, and I will definitely be reaching out when I’m in Boulder again!”

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.
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!
“Jennifer did such a fabulous job caring for my two cats while we were away! They have radically different personalities and energy levels and Jennifer did such a wonderful job meeting their individual needs and making sure they got all the attention and play they needed. She also took the most beautiful photos of our guys. I always get nervous when we have to leave them alone but her promptness, relaxed personality, and attention to detail really put us at ease. I would definitely recommend Jennifer!”
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
“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: 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.
“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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and many other kinds of animals. I know that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care, patience, and affection. I enjoy getting to know each pets quirks and what makes them feel happy and safe. I’m attentive, and pay attention to the details. Just tell me what you need and I’ll be happy to provide whatever is required for you and your pet to feel cared for and comfortable!
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 with dogs of all variety and sizes, from 10 pound Shih-Tzus to large Goldens and Labs! All ages are fine with me as well. I do not work in an office currently, so I have a lot of flexibility. I love to go on daily walks and spend time outside, so it would be a pleasure to have your dog join me! I can't wait to spend time with your furry friend! I would prefer to watch your pet in your home, and I can crate your dog or take any safety/boarding measures that you recommend. I won’t let your pup out of my sight when outside!
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!

“Georgia successfully tired out our energetic, border collie puppy Nancy! She was communicative throughout the day and took Nancy to play in the creek. Thank you!!”
“Jessica was great with my dog! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay! My dog had a great time hanging out with her pup as well. I really appreciate Jessica accepting my booking so last minute. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Jacky was AMAZING with Mecum, I swear he had the best night of his life. She was super attentive to his needs and brought him for many fun activities. Best Rover person I’ve ever met!!! I’m so grateful I met her and can’t wait for future trips for her to hang out with him! :) he moved right in and loved it. Thank you, Jacky! She also sent me frequent updates throughout the night and sent pictures/ videos. You’re the best, Jacky!!!!”
“We are very pleased to have found Chris. He was great with our senior dog who can have some anxiety with new places. Chris communicated well and is very kind. Zeke looks forward to his next visit!”
About: Hi, I'm Andi! I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember, and for 13 years I had my own dog by my side. I raised him on my own through all kinds of homes and lifestyle changes, from apartments to houses, with big yards and with no yard at all so I know that every dog (and owner!) has their own routine, personality, and needs. Over the years, I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, both in their homes and in mine. I genuinely love having a dog around the house, and enjoy the company, the personality, the walks, and even the little quirks that make them who they are. After losing my own dog, I’m not quite ready to make the commitment to bringing another dog into my life permanently. But I’ve realized I’d love to fill that space by welcoming other people’s dogs into my home and giving them the same kind of care and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your usual routines, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, a cozy spot on the couch, medication or special instructions, or simply plenty of companionship. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands and that they’ll get plenty of love while you’re away! work from home four days a week, so I’m home with plenty of flexibility throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I’m typically gone for about four hours or less, so I’m home more often than not. I’m an early riser and am very used to starting the day with a dog’s morning walk. I also have easy access to grass for quick potty breaks throughout the day, in addition to regular walks and playtime. Even on weekends, when I might go for a run, hike, or bike ride, I’m generally home for most of the day working on projects or relaxing. Overall, my schedule gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give dogs attention, exercise, companionship, and plenty of opportunities to get outside. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, and any special instructions from their owner. My home is clean, comfortable, and dog-friendly, with easy access to grass for potty breaks and plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and companionship. I’m home most of the time, so dogs aren’t typically left alone for long stretches. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I can remember, and my favorite type of work/volunteering has always involved them. When I was 15 I started dog sitting for my family friend, I watched and walked little Johnny twice a week for almost 2 years while his mom was out doing errands. After that, I started volunteering at the LoveJoy Foundation, an animal rescue in California. I walked dogs, cleaned crates, and even helped with vaccinations once a week at adoption events! My time at LoveJoy was one of the most rewarding experiences ever, and it taught me how to work with different types of dogs and different behaviors, including neurodivergent and disabled pups. I have a family dog of my own, sweet Montana, who will always be my best friend no matter how far apart we are. Montana is a bit older now, so we mostly enjoy hanging out on the couch together, but in his prior years I loved taking him on hikes, to the dog beach, and really anywhere that I went. I also have a crested gecko named Axel! I’m currently a junior at CU Boulder, so I do have school during the week but only for about 2-3 hours each day, most of the time I’m home to care for a pup! I absolutely love being outside here in Boulder, it’s too beautiful not to be, so walks and adventures are plentiful! I have a large house for your pup to roam around, but if it’s preferred that he stays in a crate during the day I can accommodate that too! My yard isn’t fenced, but we would have a lot of outside time at the park and on walks exploring all corners of Boulder. I do have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, I know that some dogs are probably more comfortable staying in their own home!
“Tigran was easy to communicate with and was able to take care of Ruby on short notice. It seems she had a great time and was well taken care of!”
“Elizabeth was so easy to coordinate with, which was really helpful during a little bit of a chaotic day of scheduling. I so appreciate her flexibility. Merlin had an awesome day!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and got one of my own as soon as I could. I love dogs and will treat yours as I would my own. We love to walk, hike, take the dogs swimming and fishing. My dog, Willie, is a sweet heart and will keep your dog company! Thanks for considering us and let us know if you have any questions! My boyfriend and I live together and he works full time from home and I’m in the office 3 days a week. Your pets will be well taken care of as we have lots of time to tend to them We have a shared backyard that we use for our dog and a park less than 5 minutes walking. Our dog is treated just like another human in the house and we will do the same for yours.
About: Your pet’s bespoke holiday, whilst you’re on holiday. Dog sitters for large breeds or elderly dogs at a 3 acre mountain property in an incredibly dog friendly environment . We take all dogs but specialize in older or extra large breeds. We work from home but are mainly on sabbatical working the land outdoors. Our clients’ dogs become family and look forward to meeting you! I’m on a work break working on my land and home fixes with my husband who just moved over from the UK. We are technology founders and a data scientist . I have 3/4 of an acre fences and 2.5 acres at 9500 ft at the end of a cul de sac with little vehicle traffic
“Allison and John were so amazing and took great care of my doggie. They were also super communicative, took lots of pictures and did two walks. Their home has a really nice backyard. I feel super grateful, thank you Allison and John for taking such good care of Yara 🌸🥹”
“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.”
“Rui was amazing with my two pups. I was nervous about leaving them as they are still puppies and can be a handful, plus they have never spent time away. But Rui took great care of them for the day. We hit traffic and were late picking them up and she was so understanding and kind. I will definitely use Rui again.”
“Barbara was great with Dilla! Lot's of updates/photos to let us know Dilla was in good hands. She is an experienced and intuitive sitter and dog mom. Her dog Mel was good with Dilla, as well. Our dog came home happy. Thank you!”
“Alison did an incredible job caring for Ari and making sure she had the best day with new dog friends! Ari had previous less than ideal experiences at doggy daycare, so we are so grateful to Alison for helping us rewrite that narrative for Ari.”
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'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!
About: Animals have always been my biggest passion, and caring for them brings immense joy to my life. With over a year of hands-on experience in pet sitting, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry family members. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether it's playtime, long walks, or just cozy cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am looking forward to dedicating myself even more to this work and building wonderful connections with both pets and their owners! I work during the day, but my schedule allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am also available for house sitting, meaning I can stay right at your home to keep your pets company and maintain their routine while you are away. Whether it is morning/evening walks, feeding times, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets receive consistent attention and care. Safety, cleanliness, and trust are my absolute top priorities. Coming from a background in childcare as a nanny, I am highly vigilant, responsible, and observant. I am also a very meticulous person when it comes to cleanliness and organization, meaning your pet will always be in a hygienic, hazard-free, and safe environment. I always ensure that doors and gates are secure, dangerous items are out of reach, and pets are closely supervised both indoors and during walks. You can trust that I will protect and care for your furry family member just as carefully as I would a child.
“Jennifer has been so amazing with our dog and so amazing with our schedule. We have had several dog walkers, which were all great, but Jennifer always seems to go above and beyond for us and our pup.”
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.
About: I was Humane Society volunteer, even if briefly. I've also been a pet owner for 15 years, with one dog named DuDu, who was a Black Labrador I am available practically always, with the primary exception being Wednesday nights, since I have guitar lessons that day. But other than that, I am indeed available, since even my volunteering work is irregular and voluntary I have a fenced yard or have the dog kept on a leash. I make sure the environment is hazard free, and keep the dog away from other animals.

About: I have taken care of both cats and dogs my when life, living with both. I know all of the things to keep them happy and healthy. There safety and health is my number 1 priority! I am currently working part time at a toy store in town, and all my other time would be devoted to these animals! I have a very flexible schedule and can fit a lot into my schedule! I have a fenced in backyard and have always had a dog! I love going on long walks and playing with cats in the house!
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 am respectful, kind, and trustworthy. Your pet(s)/household will be in safe, reliable hands with me. I have extensive experience with large dog breeds, too (grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs). I believe in treating others’ animals and property as I’d want someone to treat mine. Does your household have a particular routine or preferences? Just let me know. I want you and your family to be as comfortable as possible. If you need oral or subcutaneous medications administered, I would love to help keep your loved ones in the best health possible. House sitting engagements will leave your property as if I was never there and your pets well loved and treated with the decency all living beings deserve. Currently a parent of a husky named Thomas and three cats named Tony, Calypso, and Tut. Cats and dogs- I’ve had one or both my entire life. I use positive reinforcement training on my own. I work a set schedule Monday-Friday, so they will have consistency/stability throughout the weekdays. On the weekends, I’ll be available to spend the entire day with your fuzzy family members. How I care for your pets is strongly influenced by what you share with me. Household rules like crating, furniture rules, and routines will all be discussed with you and then adhered to during my stay. I also offer to bring in the mail, take out the trash, water the plants, and feed the goldfish. You know, those little details that matter.
“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’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for cats, dogs, and many other kinds of animals. I know that every pet is unique and deserves individualized care, patience, and affection. I enjoy getting to know each pets quirks and what makes them feel happy and safe. I’m attentive, and pay attention to the details. Just tell me what you need and I’ll be happy to provide whatever is required for you and your pet to feel cared for and comfortable! I’m currently a Biochemistry student at CU Boulder and am home in Connecticut for the summer. In between now and when school starts I have tons of free time and have the flexibility to work with whatever schedule is best for you! I take extreme care in client’s homes and am always respectful of their space. I am careful to never breach anyone’s privacy and do whatever is needed to make the client feel secure. As for the pet/pets, I am very attentive to their needs. I pay close attention to things like body language to insure they are happy and healthy.
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 pet parents! I hope you choose me to help care for your pets - I can't wait to meet them! I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I grew up with many varieties of animals among the years and numerous cats and dogs. I have always been a huge animal lover and can't wait until I have the property and space to home more friends! Until then, I am eager to meet others' animals and help take care of them and give them lots of love! The very first thing I have always done at new people's houses with animals is greet all of the animals. I am a highly energetic individual with a strong eye that seeks to pay attention to the needs of other beings. I am looking forward to hearing from you and your pets I make my own scheduled so I am highly flexible and available for caring for your pets! I have two cats and a fish that I give lots of love and attention daily - and looking forward to caring more for other animals too! I do not have a home space in which I am capable of taking in others animals currently, but I take care of the pets at the owners home this same way! First thing when I get home is to greet my pets and give them attention and love. I play for a little and then check to see the water bowl is full (and for my cats that the food is also - I know dogs are on a schedule). With dogs, I would regularly schedule times to take them out for walks - and make sure I match them for however they wanna walk! (Slow, adventurous, running a little faster) I make sure that I have plenty of plastic bags and treats to take with on the walk. I do not like to leave dogs alone for more than 2-4 hours. I love interacting with animals and giving them lots of attention!

“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!”
“Georgia is both professional and personable. She is a good communicator. She was flexible when we experienced unexpected delays on our trip. And she took great care of Mango.”
“Kimberly was incredible with my dogs. One is terrified of fireworks so we were hesitant to leave her over the Fourth of July. Kimberly got her cozy with a sound machine and lots of love. My other dog is a paralyzed high maintenance gal and Kimberly didn’t shy away from learning her routine at all. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to leave your babies and not be worried about them the whole time. And she sent lots of sweet photos! Thank you!”
“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!”
“Our pup had a great weekend at Mitzi’s! She sent us photos throughout and gave us feedback on how he did when we picked him up. She has a huge fenced in yard and really cares about the dogs!”
“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.”
“Alex and Jeffery were wonderful with our Bella! Such a sweet family they gave Bella lots of love and care! We knew she was well taking care of had great walks and was deeply loved. We felt so comfortable leaving the country knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. They have an incredibly large backyard so lots of room to run and play. We loved the photo updates and knowing how Bella was doing. I highly recommend them. She will be back with them again soon!”
“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!”
“Amy was great to work with! She gave Dixie a lot of love and attention with lots of updates! You can tell she loves dogs and is attentive to details. Would definitely recommend and would leave my girl with her anytime!”
“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”
“Julia is an absolute gem!! 💎 She greeted Kaya at her door and before I even had her bag out, she’d found Kaya’s favorite spot to be petted! I felt so comfortable knowing my girl was with a wonderful pet sitter, it helped make my weekend that much better. The communication was great - the photos and video of her enjoying her best life with Julia’s dog 🐶 and out walking made me smile and know I made the best decision for her. Highly recommend!!”
“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!”
About: My dog is my top priority, and yours will be too! I’m able to take your dog on hikes, runs, and have some fun time with my almost 2 year old husky/heeler mix. Lots of cuddles, exercise, and fun time, while ensuring proper dog to dog boundaries. I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time, and so am able to provide care for your pets throughout the day. I am unable to care for dogs under 1 year old. Additionally your dog must be: 1) dog friendly, with no history of aggression towards dogs 2) people friendly 3) house trained 4) sleeps through the night I have a fenced yard and one playful two year old husky/heeler mix. Care can include yard play time, leashed walks, hikes, or runs, depending on the needs of your dog! I am also able to keep up with training and obedience with your dog, whether that includes reactivity, leash walking, jumping etc. A meet and greet is required before I am able to book new dogs.
“Sophie was awesome, she did a great job communicating with me, and handled a last minute, slightly scattered booking like a boss. Bruno loved being at the house, and I will definitely be reaching out when I’m in Boulder again!”
“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!”
“Ryan and Lorien were wonderful with our Charlie dog. Their sweet dog even shared their toy with him. Charlie was given lots of love and attention. We felt at ease having him there while on our vacation. Would definitely book with them again. Thanks!”
“We were delighted that Elise could care for our pets for 3 weeks (!). It was the longest they have spent with a Rover. They were clearly well cared for and happy to be there. We will be using Elise again next month, which is the highest praise I can give 😊.”
“Della is fantastic! We trust her completely to care for our anxious pup. She is very responsible and in addition to helping him with training, she has helped him socialize with other dogs very well. We have booked her repeatedly and now our dog practically runs to her place because he is so excited to stay with her!”
