“Leaving Rocco and Bella for 14 days (longer than we’ve ever been away from them) wasn’t easy. They’re family. But Lovenda made it feel not just manageable—but completely reassuring. Every afternoon like clockwork, she sent thoughtful updates with photos and little snapshots of their day. Not just “they’re fine” messages, but real glimpses into their adventures—happy faces, outdoor exploring, and the kind of relaxed body language you only see when dogs feel safe and loved. She gave them daily outdoor adventures and a great balance of activity and rest. Her fully fenced yard and the ability for them to move safely between indoor and outdoor spaces gave me huge peace of mind. I never once worried about their safety. What stood out most was how much she genuinely seems to like the dogs she cares for. When I picked them up, they were happy, healthy, and clearly adored. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly invested in your dogs’ wellbeing, Lovenda is a rare find. I would book her again without hesitation.”
“Beth was amazing. You can tell she really cares about your dogs and wants them to he as comfortable as possible while they are with her. During my dogs two night stay, she gave me numerous updates and answered all my texts promptly. I will definitely use her services in the future.”
“This was the first time using the Rover app and I’m so glad I gave it a try. Oksana took care of my dog Maggy as if she was her own. She updated me with pictures and assured me that Maggy was doing well while we were away. Oksana is a real sweetheart (and so is her mom) and I would definitely recommend her for watching your dog for any length of time. Thank you so much!”
“Rikki was great. We needed a sitter on a short notice and she was very accommodating. Communication was great. Rikki sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog. Our dog loved her. Thanks Rikki!”
“Becky was terrific. My dog, Milo, really enjoyed interacting with her dogs and Becky provided daily updates with what Milo was doing that day accompanied by photos. She has a nice big yard for the dogs to play and obviously loves dogs. Milo will visit her again next time we are in the area.”
“I will always rest easy knowing my dog copper is staying with Valentina!! I received updates about copper and pictures sent throughout the day. I STRONGLY recommend Valentina!! Thank you again!!”
“My Smitty had a wonderful time hanging with Beverly and her sweet dogs. I could tell when I dropped him off and when I picked him up that he was cared for by a committed dog owner. You can tell by the way she spoke to my sweet boy. I knew he was in good hands. I will be back the next time my travels take me out of town.”
“Dream away-from-home boarding! Sherry is absolutely fantastic. She is super dog friendly, was super responsive to messages, sent updates, and was so welcoming to Bug. Giant fenced in property with tons of room to play and explore. Bug had a great time and we feel great knowing we can have dog-free adventures while Bug is on his own vacation away from home in the best hands. Thank you Sherry!!”
“Ketasha was so great with our pup Lilly! She sent cute pictures and gave us updates about how Lilly was doing throughout our trip. We would definitely book with her again!”
“This was my first time using this service. It was a last minute need and Tami was very accommodating and kind. I could not have asked for a better person, home or experience for my little Bella. Tami went above and beyond. Got lots of updates, photos ect. Her home is a good fit, her 2 little fur babies are great. Again a person could not want or expect more.”
“My puppy is a very hyper and stubborn dog. They took my pup in for 4 days while I went out of state, and I am very pleased with how they handled him! My dog is not easy to take care of, but they did an amazing job. I loved the consistent updates I got, would definitely recommend!!”
“This was my first time having Kenedeigh sit for whiskey. She did such an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. He was giving her hugs goodbye when I picked him up; a sure sign that whiskey enjoyed his stay.”
“Jonathan was wonderful with our dogs, and we will definitely use his services again. Our furry children were very comfortable with him and tired and happy when we brought them home.”
About: Hi, my name is Aria. I got my first dog at 5 years old and since then my passion for animals has just grown. I started training, walking, and babysitting dogs when I was young, then went on to start and run a dog rescue 8 years ago, Boonie Babies. I have personally cared for over 1,000 animals, rescuing, rehabilitating, and adopting out hundreds and working with hundreds more in-clinic working as a veterinary assistant. Needless to say, I have plenty of experience with dogs and am comfortable with any breed, from mutts, mastiffs, to chihuahuas. I will treat your fur babies like they are my own whether that be taking them for walks or hikes, or just lounging on the couch together. My goal is to make your pups as happy as possible when you’re unable to. Contact me if you have any questions or are interested in my services. Thank you. I have recently moved back to Pueblo Colorado after nine years running a dog rescue on Saipan. Therefore, my days are currently free with the exception of some time set aside to care for and fulfill my own three dogs, two cats, and horse. I'm flexible and willing to work with most schedules. With vast experience of animals in my own home, usually caring for 16-20 dogs at a time during my rescue running days, I am more than comfortable with both sitting and boarding dogs. Everything I do with the animals I am caring for is intentional to prioritize their health and happiness. I rely on structure and my knowledge of dog body language and behavior to ensure a smooth and safe stay with me or comfortable interactions as I enter their own home. Owner-home services such as dog sitting or walking, I can comfortably integrate into your setting and care routine. In my own home, I am also happy to follow care instructions while providing a safe and comfortable home experience for your pet. I provide access to a fully fenced in outdoor space with grace and rocks as well as calm, and comfortable indoors. I'm willing to follow all care instructions with the exception of those that harm your animal's health. For example: overfeeding.
“Leilani was great! Rubble got along with her pup and came home super happy! She was flexible and communicative, and sent pics over the weekend. 10/10 will book with Leilani again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was 15. I love them as they were my own. I have plenty of room for them to run and play, all fenced. I have 4 dogs of my own. My “girls” as I call them love other dogs and respect the space of cats. Dogs will get to play all day out side and come in throughout the day for nap time. At night everyone comes in for the night! Safe and warm and definitely worn out from playing all day! I’m currently AGR for the National Guard. I have a 10 month old baby boy. His doggies are his best friends! I work Monday-Friday sometimes, 1 weekend a month. I spend the weekends home with my husband, baby and doggies , playing out in the yard and usually smoking meat. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play! Room for crating inside as well. My dogs are on a napping schedule lol they go to sleep when baby goes to sleep. Play when baby is awake. All 4 of my dogs are very friendly. They do bark at 1st but they get over it quick then it’s full on play time. I’m happy to crate mine if it’s too much for your furry baby. Always supervised!

“My cats are not too friendly with strangers in the house. In fact, one of my cats (Max) is a "one person" only cat. Well that is what I thought until Cheryl came into the picture. Max took immediately to her. :)”
“Alexis is an excellent Rover sitter. She took good care of my little Bella cat who can be standoffish. Bella warmed up to her because of her kind spirit. She also left my place as neat as a pin.”
“Sydney was very reliable, and took great care of our cats! In particular she was careful to make sure that the one who sometimes tries to zip through open doors didn't get out.”
“Gynna was very attentive to my kitties and at sending pics, which I appreciated because I missed them! She provided a chance for my finicky kitty to have extra food and sought out my scaredy-cat who finally let her pet him a tiny bit!”
About: I have years of experience caring for cats and understanding their specific needs. I know how important a clean environment is for a cat's health, so I ensure litter boxes are scooped thoroughly and areas are kept spotless.

I know how to read cat body language, allowing me to give shy cats their space or give playful cats the attention they want.
About: As a current cat owner I have had experience taking care of cats for about 8 years now. I’m comfortable handling rambunctious kittens to older more tame cats. I’ve also volunteered at local animal shelters to help out the babies and help socialize them.

About: From a very young age I have had all sorts of animals in my home, ranging from the tiniest creature being a hamster, to the largest being horses. I love animals, animal people, and mostly, taking care of animals, as my parents instilled the responsibility in me from a young age. My experience of care taking for animals has been from my own furbabies, other peoples furbabies, strays, fostering for local rescues, and also taking care of my fathers K-9 officer in his absence. I have worked in Doggy Daycare, have a complete and full understanding of pack mentality with dogs, and am always a step ahead of the game in their care! They bring me such joy and happiness, and it's the least I can do to give that back to them by helping you when you may not be available to them. UPDATES: All bookings are on a first come, first serve basis due to a high volume of requests. Presently this is my work, so I've got pretty open availability, I'm also a live in caregiver for my Dad, but he's still pretty independent and doesn't require my assistance around the clock. With my own pets and with yours, their safety is always of the utmost importance. If you have preferences for their care that will be followed to a T. I have 1 dog and 2 cats and everything I do is for them. My home is catered to their needs and they are members of my family. Any pets I care for will be treated as lovingly as I treat my own furbabies, and any home I enter is treated with respect just as I treat my own home.

I have two dogs at home and I have helped to take care of many other peoples’ pets in the past. I am free most of the week so I am open to helping out really anytime I am needed. What sets me apart from others is the amount of care I put into every task I take on. My rates are negotiable. I take care of my animals and play with them everyday. When I am off of school for breaks I am around them most of the time. I make sure that the animal is comfortable in its surroundings. I keep it safe and well taken care of while the owner is away.

“Sherry and her husband Jason are the best! Frank had a great time with them. I know he is looking forward to his next visit. They treated him as if he was their dog.

Easy to communicate with and very flexible as well. Thanks again Sherry & Jason :)”

About: What started off as a family pet to teach me about empathy and responsibility, turned into a life-long love for animals of all kinds. From a goldfish to a golden retriever, and every animal in between ❤️ I am currently a full time remote employee so I am home 7 days a week. My job offers flexible schedules which allows me the opportunity to go for walks, play at the park, or even toss the ball around in the yard. I live in a townhome and my HOA requires all pets be leashed when outside. However, we have a dog park that is about a half mile away so it is an easy walk there and back. There are also a few trails close by that are great for an afternoon walk. I have multiple dog beds throughout my home as well as a small crate, and animals are allowed on the furniture (including the bed). I also have a basket full of toys for enrichment and provide a variety of treats (owner permitted) throughout the day. I use a gravity water dispenser so fresh, clean water is available at all times. I free feed dry food, and provide wet food on a "breakfast", "lunch", and "dinner" schedule.

“Arianna does an excellent job with our three dogs. We have three miniature dachshunds that are somewhat aggressive. She is very patient and calm with them and even brought a trainer with her to help with the aggressiveness. Now they jump in her lap. We can now go places we were not able to before. I highly recommend all her services.”

“Leaving Rocco and Bella for 14 days (longer than we’ve ever been away from them) wasn’t easy. They’re family. But Lovenda made it feel not just manageable—but completely reassuring. Every afternoon like clockwork, she sent thoughtful updates with photos and little snapshots of their day. Not just “they’re fine” messages, but real glimpses into their adventures—happy faces, outdoor exploring, and the kind of relaxed body language you only see when dogs feel safe and loved. She gave them daily outdoor adventures and a great balance of activity and rest. Her fully fenced yard and the ability for them to move safely between indoor and outdoor spaces gave me huge peace of mind. I never once worried about their safety. What stood out most was how much she genuinely seems to like the dogs she cares for. When I picked them up, they were happy, healthy, and clearly adored. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly invested in your dogs’ wellbeing, Lovenda is a rare find. I would book her again without hesitation.”
“Beth was amazing. You can tell she really cares about your dogs and wants them to he as comfortable as possible while they are with her. During my dogs two night stay, she gave me numerous updates and answered all my texts promptly. I will definitely use her services in the future.”
“This was the first time using the Rover app and I’m so glad I gave it a try. Oksana took care of my dog Maggy as if she was her own. She updated me with pictures and assured me that Maggy was doing well while we were away. Oksana is a real sweetheart (and so is her mom) and I would definitely recommend her for watching your dog for any length of time. Thank you so much!”
“Rikki was great. We needed a sitter on a short notice and she was very accommodating. Communication was great. Rikki sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog. Our dog loved her. Thanks Rikki!”
“Becky was terrific. My dog, Milo, really enjoyed interacting with her dogs and Becky provided daily updates with what Milo was doing that day accompanied by photos. She has a nice big yard for the dogs to play and obviously loves dogs. Milo will visit her again next time we are in the area.”
“I will always rest easy knowing my dog copper is staying with Valentina!! I received updates about copper and pictures sent throughout the day. I STRONGLY recommend Valentina!! Thank you again!!”
“My Smitty had a wonderful time hanging with Beverly and her sweet dogs. I could tell when I dropped him off and when I picked him up that he was cared for by a committed dog owner. You can tell by the way she spoke to my sweet boy. I knew he was in good hands. I will be back the next time my travels take me out of town.”
“Dream away-from-home boarding! Sherry is absolutely fantastic. She is super dog friendly, was super responsive to messages, sent updates, and was so welcoming to Bug. Giant fenced in property with tons of room to play and explore. Bug had a great time and we feel great knowing we can have dog-free adventures while Bug is on his own vacation away from home in the best hands. Thank you Sherry!!”
“Ketasha was so great with our pup Lilly! She sent cute pictures and gave us updates about how Lilly was doing throughout our trip. We would definitely book with her again!”
“My puppy is a very hyper and stubborn dog. They took my pup in for 4 days while I went out of state, and I am very pleased with how they handled him! My dog is not easy to take care of, but they did an amazing job. I loved the consistent updates I got, would definitely recommend!!”
“This was my first time having Kenedeigh sit for whiskey. She did such an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. He was giving her hugs goodbye when I picked him up; a sure sign that whiskey enjoyed his stay.”
“Jonathan was wonderful with our dogs, and we will definitely use his services again. Our furry children were very comfortable with him and tired and happy when we brought them home.”
About: Hi, my name is Aria. I got my first dog at 5 years old and since then my passion for animals has just grown. I started training, walking, and babysitting dogs when I was young, then went on to start and run a dog rescue 8 years ago, Boonie Babies. I have personally cared for over 1,000 animals, rescuing, rehabilitating, and adopting out hundreds and working with hundreds more in-clinic working as a veterinary assistant. Needless to say, I have plenty of experience with dogs and am comfortable with any breed, from mutts, mastiffs, to chihuahuas. I will treat your fur babies like they are my own whether that be taking them for walks or hikes, or just lounging on the couch together. My goal is to make your pups as happy as possible when you’re unable to. Contact me if you have any questions or are interested in my services. Thank you. I have recently moved back to Pueblo Colorado after nine years running a dog rescue on Saipan. Therefore, my days are currently free with the exception of some time set aside to care for and fulfill my own three dogs, two cats, and horse. I'm flexible and willing to work with most schedules. With vast experience of animals in my own home, usually caring for 16-20 dogs at a time during my rescue running days, I am more than comfortable with both sitting and boarding dogs. Everything I do with the animals I am caring for is intentional to prioritize their health and happiness. I rely on structure and my knowledge of dog body language and behavior to ensure a smooth and safe stay with me or comfortable interactions as I enter their own home. Owner-home services such as dog sitting or walking, I can comfortably integrate into your setting and care routine. In my own home, I am also happy to follow care instructions while providing a safe and comfortable home experience for your pet. I provide access to a fully fenced in outdoor space with grace and rocks as well as calm, and comfortable indoors. I'm willing to follow all care instructions with the exception of those that harm your animal's health. For example: overfeeding.
“Leilani was great! Rubble got along with her pup and came home super happy! She was flexible and communicative, and sent pics over the weekend. 10/10 will book with Leilani again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals since I was 15. I love them as they were my own. I have plenty of room for them to run and play, all fenced. I have 4 dogs of my own. My “girls” as I call them love other dogs and respect the space of cats. Dogs will get to play all day out side and come in throughout the day for nap time. At night everyone comes in for the night! Safe and warm and definitely worn out from playing all day! I’m currently AGR for the National Guard. I have a 10 month old baby boy. His doggies are his best friends! I work Monday-Friday sometimes, 1 weekend a month. I spend the weekends home with my husband, baby and doggies , playing out in the yard and usually smoking meat. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to play! Room for crating inside as well. My dogs are on a napping schedule lol they go to sleep when baby goes to sleep. Play when baby is awake. All 4 of my dogs are very friendly. They do bark at 1st but they get over it quick then it’s full on play time. I’m happy to crate mine if it’s too much for your furry baby. Always supervised!
“Patricia was absolutely AMAZING watching our dog Ollie! She was so caring and thoughtful and it really made us feel so much better knowing he was in great hands during our trip. Thank you Patricia!!!”
About: I am a passionate dog owner and animal lover. I have experience with fostering and rehabilitating dogs. I am very invested in animals receiving appropriate interaction and mental and physical stimulation daily. All animals big and small are welcome to my services. For sitting at my home, I have a fully fenced in back yard where dogs can stretch their legs at any time of day, safely enclosed on the property. I have very friendly dogs that can provide companionship and socialization for pets. I have experience with basic to intermediate dog training and am always happy to help an animal reach their potential!! At this time I do only freelance work, so my availability is open for any of your petsitting needs whether its a midday potty and play break, an overnight stay, or a full vacation. I have a fenced in back yard for frequent bathroom breaks. My dog is very well mannered and spend most of their time roaming the house/napping/playing, but is also crate trained for times when they need to be out of the way for their safety. I would host dogs in similar conditions, or come to them at their home in their usual conditions and routine
