“Megan was great! She watched our dog for a week while we were out of town. She provided updates and pictures frequently and I could tell she had a great time. Will definitely use again!”
“Logan & Butters made themselves right at home when we got to Shelley’s. Clearly they enjoyed their last stay and I couldn’t be more comfortable leaving my pups in her care.”
“Sable enjoyed her time with Ryan & family evidenced by daily photos that show some lovin’ and interaction! Ryan’s communication is prompt and responsive. I hope Sable is welcome back as I feel very comfortable leaving her in Ryan’s care.”
“Estelle and her family were great sitters. This was our first time using Rover and we were so glad we did. Estelle and David were kind, they listened to our desires and needs for our dog Lily. They updated us with lots of pictures. We know Lily was in good hands at all times. Being our first time, we were concerned about our dog running off, but those concerns left the moment we walked in the house and saw that they put baby gates in the hallways blocking the dog access to the front door. When we picked up Lily, we knew she enjoyed her stay. We will definitely use Rover again and Estelle and David again as well.”
“Paula is Wonderful! She took in our sweet old Gigi on short notice, she is a true dog lover and Gigi took to her immediately. Paula sent us numerous updates and pictures throughout Gigi's stay. She gave her affection, attention and a special spot on the couch, she even gave her a bath. I can't say enough great things about how well she cared for our pup and how much I would recommend her to take excellent care of your puppo.”

“Dolores (Lori) was very kind and friendly at drop off. She took our two dogs on walks with her dogs and spent time playing fetch with them. She and her two boys were very loving towards our pups, which I know really helped our dogs while we were away. We received many lovely pictures, keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing. Thank you Lori for loving our pups so well during our absence!! ❤️”
“Miriam was awesome! This was our 1st time away from each other , Bear was very well taking care of . Will definitely book again. In future . Thanks again 🙏♥️”

About: Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m currently a graduate student looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love — caring for animals. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and since high school I’ve volunteered at animal shelters helping care for dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I truly put care and attention into every visit. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and experienced with animals that are shy, energetic, anxious, or need a little extra love. As a grad student, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets and give them the care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members!
“I definitely recommend Stephanie, she took great care of my cat Tsunami, she played with her, petted her and followed all instructions put in rover. Tsunami had a great time with Stephanie, and looked very happy!”
“Heidi was quick to respond (even on short notice), punctual for the drop-in appointment for my cats, and sent a bunch of photos, which I really appreciated. She’s kind and my shy cats warmed up to her very quickly. Thank you Heidi!”
“Sarah is great with cats and even our shy cat nobody has ever seen came out to say hello to her. We got photos for every visit and didn’t feel like we were lost on what was going on. Sarah really is one of the best!”
“Danielle is great with our cat Pepe, super caring and reliable. She makes sure he's well looked after and is easy to communicate with, always open to helping with little things, like bringing in a package. We really appreciate her and would book again for sure!”
“Nancy was great with our cat! She gave Boston her medicine, fed her, and provided daily updates along with a picture. I will definitely book with Nancy in the future!”
“First time having Kathy pet sit my cat, but definitely won’t be the last. Kathy is so dedicated and thoughtful. I received a photo and update on Elly after each visit. Really felt super comfortable knowing she was looking after Elly.”
“Beth was absolutely amazing! Our cats warmed right up to her and she was very thorough in the care and services she provided. She also takes the cutest pics of our cats when submitting her visit cards. We look forward to having Beth take care of our cats again soon!”
“Rose was great. Aksel is shy but he still took to her quickly. Rose communicated well, did what she promised and was easy to work with. Most importantly, I can always tell from Aksel's behavior when I come home if a sitter treated him well or not. And Rose did. I would book with her again.”
“Amanda has been watching my pup for months and my pup absolutely loves her! Amanda is very flexible with my schedule and responds quick. I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Courtney was great. Very flexible with adding more drop in visits and the addition of a three month old puppy. Very affordable!! Will definitely use her in the future!”

About: Currently, I am stay at home mom to an 8 year old boy and have been training our Mini Aussie Chloe since she was a puppy. I have completed Elementary and Intermediate Clicker training, AKC Good Canine Citizen certification, AKC Dog Trick Advanced level, and several other dog classes. Additionally, I grew up with dogs and also have adopted a dog in the past. Our mini Aussie gets along well and enjoys playing with other dogs. Our dogs (past and present) have been a member of the family and we love taking them with us as many places as we can (hiking, biking, running, walks, etc). We are a very active family and enjoy the outdoors. I am a stay at home mom who can care for dogs during the day or overnight. Dogs will get regular exercise with walks and we also have a fenced in backyard. I have a fenced in yard and a 2 year old mini aussie. I also have an 8 year old that is well behaved with dogs and has accompanied me to many dog training classes with our dog Chloe.
About: I have had family dogs and cats for over 15 years, have had my own dog for 6 years and a pair of rats and hamsters, and have worked professionally in an animal shelter in Kansas where we provided care for dogs and cats of all ages (newborn to end of life) and special care for those with special needs as well as boarding for animals with owners needing a trusted provider to care for their animals while they’re unavailable. I often pet sit for family and friends and I am mostly always at home. I currently stay at home. I have my own dog, my corgi. As well as my 2-year old son, loves our dog and has done well with other dogs that have stayed with us. I have a walking trail behind my apartment so we frequently gear up and go on walks around the neighborhood, although we also enjoy days in — just depends on what we feel like doing that day. I have plenty of time to give scheduled medication or food or exercise or diaper changes if needed for pets. Apartment living so no yard but yes to two closed-off balconies that would be available for pets to use to look out and relax at while staying with us, also walking trail in the back and a fenced-in dog park in our apartment complex. When inside — which will be the case unless owner wants otherwise such as indoor/outdoor use of the balcony, pets are allowed in all areas of the house unless closed off to my own son but usually wherever my dog is allowed any pet is allowed, also allowed on beds and couches but not counters or tables (pet will be redirected no big deal). Water is available all day, I do not leave food out for my own dog but have an area your pet can stay at if needing a longer time to eat any meals given, if pet is a grazer that can be accommodated for as well. If a bath is needed due to accidents it will be given if pet is friendly and allows me to bathe them. I will also work with pets that aren’t spayed/neutered since my own dog is spayed but will ensure no female or male is being taken care of by me unless one is fixed or they’re all males/all females being taken care of that day. I will mostly be seeing small-medium sized dogs for pet sitting.
“Shannon did great with Lucy. She listened to all I asked for Lucy and was able to provide. Her dogs were very friendly and help ensure Lucy gets fully tired out by the end of the day. Lucy loves going to see Shannon and her dogs.”
“This was our first experience with a Dog Sitter and Logan did amazing! Because of how good her and her fiancé did with my pup, I will definitely be looking into this in the future and reaching out to them again if I’m ever back in Colorado Springs. We can not thank them enough!”
About: Desde mi niñez he compartido mi vida con animales, lo que me ha dado una comprensión intuitiva de sus necesidades y un profundo respeto por su bienestar. Para mí, cuidar a tu mascota no es un trabajo, es una extensión natural de mi propia vida con compañeros peludos. Ofrezco una atención compasiva y adaptada a la edad de tu peludito. Ya sean paseos lentos o la energía de tu adolescente cochorro. Debido a que mi rutina es flexible y estoy en casa, puedo ofrecer una supervisión continua. Esto significa una respuesta inmediata a cualquier necesidad, ya sea un paseo inesperado, un juego, o simplemente estar ahí para aliviar la ansiedad por separación. Adaptabilidad Total: Puedo integrar perfectamente las necesidades específicas de tu mascota (horarios de comida estrictos, paseos frecuentes, sesiones de entrenamiento cortas) en mi día sin que se conviertan en una interrupción, sino en la estructura normal de mi tiempo en casa. En resumen, mi rutina diaria gira en torno a asegurar que las mascotas a mi cargo reciban atención, estructura y compañía constante, porque siempre estoy aquí." Mi casa es espaciosa, ofreciendo un excelente ambiente interior. Además, cuento con un pequeño patio para salidas rápidas y supervisadas. Lo mejor es que estamos rodeados de lugares muy lindos para pasear, por lo que aseguramos variedad y estimulación física diaria.
“I appreciated Erica’s willingness to book daycare last minute. She took great care of Rosie and provided a safe place for her to hang out with people. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Erica again. Thanks for taking care of Rosie.”

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and have been dog sitting for family and friends since my junior year of high school. I have experience with both large breeds, like German Shepherds, and small dogs. I’ve done everything from short check-ins while owners are at work to week-long stays. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who truly cares, and I treat every dog I watch with the same love and attention I give my own. I’m currently a student at Arizona State University with classes on weekday mornings. Outside of that, I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my routine to accommodate pet care. On weekends, I usually work on school assignments, which I’m able to do from anywhere, allowing me to provide attentive and consistent care. I currently provide pet care in my client’s home to ensure pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any household routines. I prioritize safety by keeping doors secured, monitoring pets closely during walks, and maintaining a clean, calm space. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away.
“We’ve used Vivian multiple times and she’s been great every time. Tobie loves his walks with her and always comes home happy. We really appreciate her consistency and care!”

As a grad student, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets and give them the care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! As a graduate student completing my degree online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I also go to the gym daily for about an hour and a half, which fits easily into my routine while still allowing plenty of availability for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, drop-ins, and overnight care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to spend my time with pets while also earning extra income during grad school. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always follow routines carefully, pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, and make responsible decisions to keep everyone safe — including your pets, your home, and myself. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or needs extra patience, I provide attentive and compassionate care at all times.
About: I love taking hikes with my dog and I am very good at handling any type of dog! Overall, I connect with every pet I meet to make sure they stay well loved while their owner is away Im currently working a part-time job with flexible hours so pet care fits in lovely!! My schedule allows for me to be available when needed! I can easily crate a pet, help them stay in the right areas of the yard or home, and make sure they are surrounding with a friendly and calm environment

“Had the privilege of having Lexi walk Jenga for the past 5 months during the afternoons and she’s been nothing but professional and a delight for Jenga, would absolutely recommend for anyone who may be too busy during the day to give their pup a walk!”
“Ty so much!! Very reliable!! Love Emily - she goes out of her way to make sure your pets are cared for, even during snowstorms :-) she was there every day despite feet of snow!!”
About: I am a caring, reliable animal lover who has been around animals my whole life, cats, dogs, horses, you name it. I have fostered and rescued many animals, dogs and cats specifically and am comfortable handling them no matter their temperament. I love all sizes, big, small, and in between. I have two german shepherd huskies and currently have a foster malinois mix that I am rehabbing. I’m not able to care for other animals in my home due to having a foster dog, but I am more than willing and happy to travel to yours to make sure your fur babies are happy and well taken care of. I’m currently not working and my schedule is very flexible, so I’m pretty much always available to take care of your pets! You need me, I can be there. I am a very active person and I love taking dogs on walks or even simply just cuddling on the couch if they’re a couch potato. Keeping the animals in my care perfectly happy is my biggest goal when pet sitting.
About: I've been working with animals since I was 14 years old. I started as a kennel attendant and worked my way up to a veterinary assistant. And even before that I've owned my own personal zoo, so if you have any additional pets that need taking care of, I'm able to care for them, too! I have an especially soft spot for Rottweilers and pet rats. <3 If you have any pets that need special medications, insulin doses, special diets, or any other medical issues that need close attention, I have had 10 years as a trained veterinary assistant and can confidently take care of all your pets' medical needs while I stay with them! You'll be able to relax knowing that your four legged, two legged, or no legged friend is in good hands. Im currently working full time at a veterinarian’s office. My schedule can vary, but I have a full hour lunch break, which means I am still able to stop in and check on your furry, feathered, or scaly companions during my break times midday. I do not offer services out of my own home. However in a clients home, I make sure to utilize any fenced yard for playtime, or walks for those homes without a fenced yard. During house sitting stays, I make sure to stick to the animals usual routine/schedule, and try to keep them engaged with regular playtimes, bedtimes, and lots of cuddles!
“Amber is GREAT! I needed someone to walk my sweet boy while I was recovering from surgery. She was prompt and Moo really loves her! I will definitely use her again!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs for many years and have seen all kinds of breeds and sizes from neighbor's dogs to my own all are welcome! I'm available most weekends all day, and most weekdays mornings and evenings. I have reliable transportation. In addition, I'm very punctual and respectful to your home and pets. I will care for your pets in your home /in your neighborhood. My car is small so I can fit into most parking spaces and can transport small animals in my car if you don't have a dog park nearby.

“Samaya has been such a blessing! She takes my dog on her daily walk and has been there for us after my dog had surgery and needed extra TLC. When I have gone out of town Samaya has also checked in on my cats and I know that they are given all the extra attention my needy felines want! I am so thankful to have found someone who cares for my animals and who I can count on to be there when I can’t. Thank you Samaya!”
