“Fred and Kim have the perfect home away from home for your pup. They took Bailey on several walks a day, she had a comfortable bed to sleep in and plenty of space to move around the house and garden. They sent daily photos and updates, and were super friendly and accommodating. We'll be booking again!”
“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!”
“Georgia was so wonderful with our dogs. She took such great care understanding & accommodating their individual needs and behaviors. I would not hesitate in asking Georgia to watch Rosie & Daisy again. It’s nice being able to relax while away, knowing they’re in her care. The picture & video updates were great as well!”
“Maggie took such great care of my dog. From multiple updates a day and long walks to tire my pup out, I knew my dog was in good hands. She seemed so happy in the videos Maggie sent me and it was even hard for my dog to leave when the time came to go home. She was so incredibly flexible with pickup and drop off as well. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter would definitely use Maggie again.”
“Addison took such wonderful care of our dog Lily, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Addison was incredibly attentive, kept us updated, followed all of Lily’s care instructions, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Lily came home happy, comfortable, and well cared for, which means everything to us. We would absolutely trust Addison with Lily again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter. Thank you Addison, for taking such great care of our little girl!”
“Della took wonderful care of our dog, Aspen. She kept us updated with all the fun things they were doing together and included pictures and videos. We felt confident that Aspen was getting all the love and attention she needed while we were on our vacation. We will definitely book with Della again. Thanks Della, you are awesome!”
“Brooke took such good care of Milo on a last minute notice! She is super responsive and we were able to work out scheduling smoothly. Milo had a great time with her!”
“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!”
“Elise and Matthew took such great care of our dog while we were away. It’s so comforting to have kind, reliable, trustworthy people to rely on for our dog when we are gone. Thank you both!”
“Delane was very flexible with working around my holiday plans to arrange drop off and pick up times for my pup. I got regular pictures of Walnut and when I picked her up, her tail was clearly wagging and she was happy in Delane's home. Would definitely ask her to dogsit again!”
“I cannot recommend Curtis enough. We received professional service that I could tell his heart is really into. Our dog was cared for extremely well! I will have no hesitation booking with Curtis in the future.”
“Chelsea was great to work with. She made the meet-and-greet easy and then kept us up-to-date on how the puppies were doing throughout our trip. I'd use, and recommend, Chelsea in a heartbeat.”
“Our stay with Sarah was top notch! The dogs played in a large grassy fenced yard at the edge of a quiet lovely neighborhood near open space, and spent time in their own crates when needing privacy. She truly understands dogs needs. I completely trust her level of compassion and competence when caring for my fur babies. I would definitely book again.”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
“Barbara is so great with our Nala! Her dog and ours play all of the time and Barbara is always gracious to accommodate our time requests. She is definitely our go to pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Marlow took care of my dog for 8 days at her home, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. One of the things I appreciated most was the daily updates. She sent photos and messages every single day, which meant so much to me because I missed my dog and loved knowing how he was doing. She kept me informed about his activities and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog absolutely loved her large, beautiful backyard. We visited before his stay, and he was already having the best time exploring it. She also took him to the creek, which he loved! It was clear that she spent a lot of quality time with him, giving him plenty of exercise, attention, and cuddles. Her roommate was also incredibly kind and clearly cared about my dog, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in their care. She has a lot of experience handling large dogs with leash reactivity. My dog is a 98-pound Pitbull/Lab mix, and she knew exactly how to work with him and manage his needs confidently and safely. Her experience really showed throughout his stay. I am so grateful for the care, communication, and love she gave my dog. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”
“Coral did a great job watching my pup Phoebe! She was great with communicating and sending updates, and seemed like Phoebe had an awesome time! Will definitely reach out again 🙏”
“This was the first time our 2 dogs have been away from us. Karla and family took wonderful care of them. Walking them and sending us cute pictures that eased our minds. Thank you so much! See you next time Skyler and Hops”

“Patricia was AMAZING! I had a last minute trip and she watched my two babies while I was gone. She was SO communicative and easy-going when I had to make last minute changes. I will 100% be booking with her again when I go out of town next time. She even went the extra mile and emptied my litter box. I felt great knowing my babies were in good hands. Definitely book with her!”

She was very communicative throughout our trip and sent regular updates along with photos and videos that gave us real peace of mind. She gave our cats ample play time and they loved her. We would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter.”
“Christa took great care of our cats! We could tell from the pictures and from her descriptions that they liked her. She followed our instructions, communicated well, and was consistent. Easy to work with and trustworthy. We would hire Christa again!”

“We used Amelia again to dog sit our anxious rescue, and she continues to exceed our expectations. Chickpea was so happy to see her — always a great sign with a dog who takes time to warm up to people. Amelia is a genuinely calming presence, sent regular updates so we could relax, and clearly has a gift for working with dogs who need a little extra patience. So glad we found her.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animals’ unique personalities and needs. Today, I’m the proud owner of two Golden Retrievers, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to accommodate walks, potty breaks, play sessions, feedings, and check-ins that fit your pet’s normal routine. My flexibility also makes it easier to accommodate last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or my own, I provide a calm, attentive environment and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. I understand that every pet is different, so I follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, training commands, and household rules. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have six years of professional experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether I’m helping a friend, family member, or client, I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid through the American Red Cross. I have a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed, so I’m always happy to follow their usual schedule to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I have a fully fenced yard and live right by Chautauqua, so there's plenty of space to play and explore. While I adore hosting social dogs, my home is also a great environment for dogs who prefer to be the only pet in the home, since I accept only one client at a time. I'm happy to accommodate multiple dogs from the same household, though!
About: I understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your beloved pet and want to be there to support and love on your dog. I pride myself on my compassion, love, and understanding of all pets and their unique needs. I am a college student that loves to work with animals. I have classes during the day but am available in the early mornings, afternoons and evenings to take care of your pets. I am also available on weekends and for overnight care. I understand the concern that may come with leaving your pet with a stranger and take careful consideration in to making sure that doors are closed behind me, safety hazards are removed from the pets reach, and a high level of attentiveness while on walks.
“Gillian was great with our older cat. She really took the time to connect with him and make him feel comforted while we were away. She sent photos, videos and updates regularly and we felt very assured our furry friend was in excellent hands while we were away. Thank you, Gillian!”
“Falecia did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties, who are on the older side and have special medical needs, while I was away on a 5 day trip! I look forward to booking her again in the future!!”
“Maja was an absolute gem and it was obvious by some of the pix she sent that my fur balls were perfectly content while I was gone. She sent updates and made me feel comfortable that she was there. She’ll be my go-to sitter when she’s available”

“Emilie helped us out tremendously with some last minute day care. She's quick to respond, friendly, and I felt at ease leaving our pup with her. Two big thumbs up from us!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for weeks at a time for the past four years in Colorado and Southern California. I love having your pup around as a friend and companion here in boulder, CO! Your dog can expect lots of walks, hikes, playing in our backyard, and many cuddles! I work remotely from home so have time to take your dog out on walks, feed them at the times they are used to, and hang out and play! I have a fenced in backyard and a park right around the corner. I am comfortable taking your dogs on walks and hikes in the area!
About: I’ve been involved with animals since I was a kid and have a few different dogs since I was born. I also have a cat! I am able to care for senior dogs and puppies as I’ve had them both living in my house, and am able to administer medication or follow any special feeding/medical schedule that your pet needs! I love caring for animals of all shape and size—I know how important and special each of your pets are. I am available to walk or let out at any time throughout the day as I am finished with school. I am happy to bring your dog to a dog park in my car or to just play with them in your backyard. I’m here to make your pet’s day better and yours easier! I can easily get a dog into a crate or car if needed and I am very good with introducing myself/caring for shy, skiddish animals.
“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!!!!”
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!
“Kelly is really great and reliable for your pet sitting needs. We did two days of daycare and she was flexible, communicative, and interested in meeting Otis’s needs. She took him for walks and he just loves her so much!”
About: I've been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities—from tiny breeds to giant dogs, and from easygoing companions to stubborn pups that need extra patience and understanding. I'm comfortable handling special care needs, including dogs in heat and dogs that wear diapers. My goal is to provide safe, reliable, and personalized care that helps every pet feel comfortable and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Whether your dog needs a fun adventure, extra attention, or specialized care, I have the experience and dedication to meet their unique needs. I am currently at home full time so I am available to give your pup 24/7 care! I am available for boarding and sitting 7 days week. I have a non-fenced in yard but an open grass areas where your dog can play with supervision. I live with three other girls that are home part time. I can accommodate any thing you or your dog needs. I have room for a bed and/or a crate.
“My two dogs spent the day with Alison. She sent me updates and photos so I knew what they were up to. They had a fun and active day with Alison. I plan to leave them with her again.”
“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 🌸🥹”
“Rui and her partner did a great job caring for my dog with separation anxiety. They were very accommodating and easy to work with. Rui was very communicative throughout the stay, sending pictures and a report card of their day together. It is a relief to know that I can trust them to meet the special needs of my dog. I recommend them and will be using their services again myself too!”
“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: I have had animals my entire life and have been responsible for their care from a young age. I regularly pet sit for friends and family and have experience caring for a variety of animals. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own, which has strengthened my knowledge of daily pet care and animal behavior. I am also a member of Delta Gamma, where I help support initiatives that raise awareness for guide dogs in training and the families who care for them. My lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience make me a responsible and dependable caregiver. I work a remote job from 10-2 Monday- Friday. I am a morning person and can take care of pets before and after work. I am very flexible especially on the weekends. I have extensive experience caring for both my own pets and the pets of friends and family. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision to keep them comfortable and happy. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide reliable, compassionate care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Since I am away from my own pets while at school, I especially enjoy spending time with animals and ensuring they feel safe and well cared for.
About: Hi! My name is Jaycie! 🐾 I’m a huge animal lover and have 3 Golden Retrievers of my own at my parents’ house in Littleton. I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a doggy daycare, which has given me experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’d love to help by watching or walking your pup(s)! I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and am comfortable administering oral medications. I’ve also worked with high-energy dogs, multi-dog households, and dogs who just need a little extra attention and playtime. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just getting plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away! I love taking videos and pictures of doggies so expect to receive some while I care for your dog! As of now I am available all day, any day with a heads up of when u want/need me! I cannot wait to meet your puppies! I have friendly neighbors and no dogs in my current home. I have bowls for food and water and a yard for them to run in as well as a park just down the road!
“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!”
“Lila absolutely loves spending the day with Sara and all the other dogs! She comes home tired and content! Sara has a gentle, calm energy that seems to keep the, sometimes large, pack under control and she somehow manages to send perfect photos each day!”
“Bretta is incredible! She was so patient and caring for my pup during his stays with her. He was extremely anxious but she was able to help him feel secure while I was away. She did an excellent job of checking in and trying methods to help my dog. We were so lucky to find her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly caring sitter and an overall quality stay!”
About: Hello! I’m a retired Special Education teacher. My passion is dogs and the care and training of dogs. When your furr baby is staying with me, she or he is my priority. I am patient, caring and truly want your furr baby to have a safe, engaging and fun time while in my care. I’d love to take your furr baby for walks and/ or give cuddles; as desired. I first became available on Rover in 2017, first working in California and now in Colorado. I work full-time at home and will give your sweet furr baby all the time, care and exercise he or she needs. I’m currently at home full-time. I have plenty of time for your furr baby Please schedule pickup & drop-off times between 7am - 9:30pm. Thank you. I have two dogs and two cats. One dog is a friendly, small-sized older dog.

“Emma was WONDERFUL! We booked her last minute and she totally alleviated all our stress. We went away for the weekend and she gave us our man Gus long and good walks and gave some love to our cats, even going as far to search for one that was hiding. 10/10, we will be booking her in the future!”
“Carli was so patient with my skittish pup. Went above and beyond with my dog, especially as he was not being the most welcoming for his first walk with her. She is very kind and I would recommend her to any pup parent!”
“I’d never used the app before but loved how easy it was for Sam to keep me updated both times he visited to walk our dog. Our dog is an old boy and can be a little defensive at times, and pretty slow-moving, but Sam was super patient with him. Sam walked him for a full 30 minutes and from what I can tell, he just let our dog take it slow, sniffing (and peeing on) all the things along the way, which is his absolute favorite thing to do. I’d recommend Sam for sure, and will ask him back if we ever need help with our pets again!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.
About: I am active, outdoorsy, and I will make your dog the center of my universe for as long as you need. I was raised around dogs, cats, and many random smaller pets, so I can handle just about anything. I frequently go on hikes and trail runs, and love to bring dogs with me. I’m currently unemployed and taking a break from classes, so I have near infinite free time this summer and can be there for your pet whenever you need. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment, but I live alone now so there is quite a lot of room. Given my overwhelming amount of free time I will treat your pet with the constant attention they crave.
About: I have taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes growing up and have always been the biggest dog lover! I have experience with raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with dogs with different personalities! I would love nothing more than to bring some joy and adventure to your pups! As a fellow dog owner, I know that dogs are not only pets, but family. I have experience walking big, strong dogs, so I’ll be able to hold and manage keeping your dog on route and out of trouble. I also have plenty experience taking care of dogs when owners have been away. I make sure they get fed on time, are let out to use the bathroom, get plenty of cuddles and pets, and play any games they want to! If your dog needs a bath, I also have taken multiple dogs for a self wash and have dealed with the worst of the worst. I’m currently on the job hunt, so I have plenty of free time to take care of your pups! Really any day or time should work for me! I want to be sure that your dog is as comfortable as possible in their own home, because consistency helps them feel safe when their owners are away. I’ll follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any other specific instructions you leave me. I’ll be sure to make sure all doors and gates are always properly closed and help keep the home tidy and secure!
About: I love dogs (and cats!) of all personalities and especially love being active with them, such as going on hikes or jogs, playing fetch, or simply hanging out at the park. I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and learning what makes them them! I am available outside of the following hours: 2-4:30pm Monday-Friday, 5:30-7pm Mondays and Thursdays, and 4-6pm on Wednesdays. Other than these times, I am free to be booked! I have a large, fenced in yard with no other pets, which is great if your pet has trouble around other animals. I also live very close to North Boulder park! And when I am caring for your animal at your home, I am mindful of private spaces and boundaries, and I always make sure to entirely clean up after myself.
“Emily is great! She was very attentive during our meet and greet and asked great questions and remembered all of the quirks I told her about for my dog, Archie. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve grown up with small dogs and I love dogs of all sizes and ages. I just graduated college with a degree in animal biology and my full time job doesn’t start until September. This means that I have a wide open schedule to work around your dog walking needs! As a baseline, I walk between 3-8 miles per day so I can easily accommodate your dog’s preference! I don’t have any animals of my own but I have watched my friends’ pets in the past and love it! I have experience walking dogs and taking care of them on overnights. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs taking medications as well. My schedule is flexible and open, so feel free to reach out with any type of request! My full time job doesn’t start until mid September so I have a very free schedule. I am an early bird and like to stay active! This means that I can walk anytime between 6am-6pm and for as long as needed! While my home doesn’t allow pets, I will be sure to carefully abide by any directions you leave for your pets and respect your space as if it were my own!
About: I have been the go to pet sitter for my neighbors and friends ever since I was a little kid. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals. I have experience providing medical assistance for pets such as giving insulin shots to cats. I currently am a student at CU Boulder but am home in Centennial/Aurora on breaks and some weekends! When I am home from school, I will be available during the day to take care of your pets! I greatly care for each pet that I take care of. I will make sure your pet is doing well and is happy! I will send you as many updates and pictures of your pet as you like. It is important to me to make sure every pet owner knows that there pet is being well taken care of.
“Tina was prompt and communicated prior for meet and greet as well as showing up for Callie and keeping me informed as to how the walks went. I consider Tina to be very reliable and will entrust in her again to walk/sit Callie in the future.”
About: Current graduate student looking to destress and feel the love from your pet best friend! Safety is always my number one priority, but having fun is a close second. Where else to enjoy dogs and nature than in the beautiful Boulder Colorado? I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats (2 loving cats back home) for as long as I can remember. Being patient, I also enjoy reinforcing commands and tricks! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! :) I go to school part-time and Mondays and Fridays I have completely off! I am also available before my classes if you want a morning appointment. Safety is always my number one priority. You can trust that your fur friend will have my total attention at all times. I will always use harnesses and leashes no matter where we adventure to.
“Linnea was great with Okie. She was always on time and Okie loved her. She was flexible with scheduling when needed. Would highly recommend her and we would definitely use her services again.”
“Mason was on time and great with Zak. He seemed very comfortable and adaptable with everything. He was charming and a good ambassador for Boulder. If we lived there we'd use him again without question.”
About: You know when you’re out in public and your dog unexpectedly rushes straight over to say hi to a random (specific) person then needs to be physically pulled away even after they got the attention they wanted? For some reason, I’ve always been that random but specific person. Sometimes it feels like dogs suddenly materialize in front of me or like their “hello” is really more of a “it’s about time you got here!” Dogs (and cats, for that matter) also tend to insist on cuddling up next to me instead of their usual pick when I visit their homes (and I’m certainly not complaining). I currently only have cats, but I grew up with three dogs (a chocolate lab, a miniature schnauzer, and a Pomeranian) and have learned how to love both in the ways they want me to love them. What I love most about dogs is how pure they are. We all appreciate their undying loyalty, of course, but the sweet, unconditionally caring emotional presence that dogs carry themselves with is one of the things that makes life worth living. I consider non-human animals to be people too, and dogs are definitely among the best non-human animals. I would be just as excited as your dog(s) would be to make a new friend! My availability is flexible in general but particularly in terms of the time of day. I have a circadian rhythm difference that makes my sleep “schedule” change throughout each week, so if I’m given sufficient notice (48 hours), I’m easily able to modify my waking hours if your pet has time-sensitive needs. As mentioned in my bios, animals seem to naturally see me as a Disney princess. However, even though I’m very confident that I’ll get along with your pet(s) without any issues, their friendship is theirs to give, not mine to demand. Their needs are my top priority (and would be even if I weren’t petsitting); I recognize that some animals need lots of time and space to truly feel safe, and giving them that time and space is the only way to create a mutually comforting environment. Even if your dog/cat actually is insatiably social and unfailingly affectionate, I want to be sure that I get an idea of any individual boundaries or strong preferences beforehand so that I’m able to treat them with the same respect and care that I would a human person. As far as dogs and cats that want lots of love and affection, I am happy to give and share it! My cats sleep with me most nights and I often have one on my lap or next to my leg throughout a given day. Either way, I’ll follow your pet’s lead.
About: In addition to knowing how to take care of cats, I also have experience in dog care, as I have been taking care of my partner’s dog Mori for the past 4 years. I am available M-T-W all day for dog/cat sitting and dog walking, and in the morning/early afternoon and late evening on any other day! Im currently a student at CU but take care of my cat anytime I can before and after classes. He gets his daily shrimps and treats and tons of pets everyday! My cat stays indoors for safety. I also check on my cat regularly to make sure he is doing okay, has all he needs and to show him love and attention.

“Fred and Kim have the perfect home away from home for your pup. They took Bailey on several walks a day, she had a comfortable bed to sleep in and plenty of space to move around the house and garden. They sent daily photos and updates, and were super friendly and accommodating. We'll be booking again!”
“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!”
“Georgia was so wonderful with our dogs. She took such great care understanding & accommodating their individual needs and behaviors. I would not hesitate in asking Georgia to watch Rosie & Daisy again. It’s nice being able to relax while away, knowing they’re in her care. The picture & video updates were great as well!”
“Della took wonderful care of our dog, Aspen. She kept us updated with all the fun things they were doing together and included pictures and videos. We felt confident that Aspen was getting all the love and attention she needed while we were on our vacation. We will definitely book with Della again. Thanks Della, you are awesome!”
“Elise and Matthew took such great care of our dog while we were away. It’s so comforting to have kind, reliable, trustworthy people to rely on for our dog when we are gone. Thank you both!”
“Our stay with Sarah was top notch! The dogs played in a large grassy fenced yard at the edge of a quiet lovely neighborhood near open space, and spent time in their own crates when needing privacy. She truly understands dogs needs. I completely trust her level of compassion and competence when caring for my fur babies. I would definitely book again.”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
“Barbara is so great with our Nala! Her dog and ours play all of the time and Barbara is always gracious to accommodate our time requests. She is definitely our go to pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Marlow took care of my dog for 8 days at her home, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. One of the things I appreciated most was the daily updates. She sent photos and messages every single day, which meant so much to me because I missed my dog and loved knowing how he was doing. She kept me informed about his activities and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog absolutely loved her large, beautiful backyard. We visited before his stay, and he was already having the best time exploring it. She also took him to the creek, which he loved! It was clear that she spent a lot of quality time with him, giving him plenty of exercise, attention, and cuddles. Her roommate was also incredibly kind and clearly cared about my dog, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in their care. She has a lot of experience handling large dogs with leash reactivity. My dog is a 98-pound Pitbull/Lab mix, and she knew exactly how to work with him and manage his needs confidently and safely. Her experience really showed throughout his stay. I am so grateful for the care, communication, and love she gave my dog. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”
“Coral did a great job watching my pup Phoebe! She was great with communicating and sending updates, and seemed like Phoebe had an awesome time! Will definitely reach out again 🙏”
“This was the first time our 2 dogs have been away from us. Karla and family took wonderful care of them. Walking them and sending us cute pictures that eased our minds. Thank you so much! See you next time Skyler and Hops”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and a natural connection with both dogs and cats and bring over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pets who need patience and comfort, I know how to adapt to each animal’s unique needs. At home, I share life with my goofy golden retriever and a sassy tuxedo cat, who both love other animals. My approach is calm, reliable, and intuitive, I take the time to make every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. I can help with training, daily walks, or providing company while you’re away, and I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I work from home so have flexibility in my daily routine. Most afternoons and evenings in particular work well for me for any type of care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I focus on creating an environment that matches each animal’s personality and comfort level. I have plenty of engaging ways to channel energy for playful or high energy pets, through walks, games, training reinforcement, or enrichment toys while also providing patience and affection for mellow or cuddly companions who prefer a slower pace. I will treat your pets and your home with the same respect I would give mine!
“Tigran took great care of Bruce! I got lots of videos of Bruce living his best life with Tigran's dogs. They ran and played in lots of bodies of water. Tigran was really flexible with drop off and pickup times. He even picked Bruce up on his way to hike with the dogs. We appreciate that on a busy travel day! Thank you Tigran.”
“Olivia was amazing! I’ve had a lot of rover sitters and Olivia might be my favorite. My dog Elle had just had stitches and I was afraid to leave her with anyone but Olivia not only took care of her like she was her own dog but also made sure all the meds and steps I asked were taken perfectly! My dog had the best time and I was able to turn off my worries for a few hours!”
About: Hey there! I’m new to Rover and can’t wait to take care of your pup. I’ve been an avid pet-lover and sitter my whole life - Big or small, your pets will be welcomed and adored in my care. I have an extra special place in my heart for big dogs, rescues, and misunderstood breeds and have hands on experience with all kinds of breeds, from chihuahuas to mutts to mastiffs. Can’t wait to meet your pup and give them lots of love. 💛 My job is local and hybrid so my schedule is extremely flexible which gives me and your pup plenty of time to play and go for lots of long walks.

About: Hi! I’m Simone, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 16 years, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I treat every animal like family—whether it’s cuddling on the couch, going for long walks, or managing medications and mealtime routines. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I genuinely enjoy being around animals and make caring for them a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening playtime, I organize my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I work from home / have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routine completely. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding and medication to walk times and favorite toys. I make sure pets are comfortable, calm, and well cared for, and I do my best to keep their routine consistent to reduce stress. I also keep the home clean, secure, and tidy, and I send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Our pup was well taken care of. Highly recommend care providers. The next time we go out of town I hope Allison and John are available to take care of ginger again.”
