“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!”
“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!”
“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 😊.”
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Liliana was excellent in taking care of our dog on short notice. Frequent walks and updates on how he was doing were punctual and informative. A truly caring boarder that I highly recommend.”

We loved the photo updates and knowing how Bella was doing. I highly recommend them. She will be back with them again soon!”
About: I have worked in applied behavioral analysis for about 3 years. This means I have expertise in reading and understanding behavior. I know how to build that trust and mutual respect with dogs and make them feel comfortable in my care, without feeling threatened. I currently have a very flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m happy to work with your schedule and can accommodate both regular weekly walks and occasional bookings. My availability may vary from week to week, so I’m always happy to communicate and find a time that works best for you and your pup! I am all for building trust and reading level of comfortability before I place any demands. I am very engaged, energetic, and direct all my attention towards pets when I am caring for them. I am very respectful and willing to follow any special requests regarding the needs of dogs.
“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”
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.

“Tess was able to cat sit for me for the first time on relatively short notice and did an amazing job. She took some of the best pictures of my cat so I knew he was doing well with her care. My building was having access issues and she found a way to make sure the visits happened. Also I had to cut my trip short and she was flexible with that as well. I would recommend Tess to anyone and she will certainly be a repeat sitter!”
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. 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 live right next to North Boulder Park, so there's plenty of space to play and explore! I also live right by some great trails if your dog enjoys hiking. 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!
“Campbell is reliable and very kind. She’s been helpful on every visit and communicates better than other seasoned Rovers. She’s my first choice always for care for our cat.”
“Wenqi was incredible! She was so communicative, she sent so many photos of Callie, and Callie absolutely loved her. I will absolutely be hiring her again for all of my Rover needs.”
“Our cat seemed glad to see Falecia every day, and we were happy to receive a number of pictures each time she visited. Falecia kept the food and water bowls full, the litter box clean, and watered our plants. We will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a little kid and I love being around animals. I got my dog 7 years ago and have loved raising her! I’m currently working part time and have a very flexible schedule. So I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment by using gentle handling, close supervision, and consistent routines. I build trust by taking the time to get to know each pet’s personality, keeping you updated with messages and photos, and treating your pet like my own.
“Emily is amazing! She watched our cats for a few days when we were out of town. 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.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats ever since I was born, and have continued to surround myself with them into my adult life. I frequently help out at shelters and have recently branched out to start cat and dog-sitting. I also have two feline friends of my own, who I have had for around three years now :) I take care of my cats throughout the day (feeding, cleaning, and playing with them). This is easy to fit into my work schedule as I work remotely. And with this added flexibility, comes the ability to look after other pets as well! I have plenty of of experience dog and cat sitting, and like to spend lots of time with the animals I stop in to look after. I’m responsible when it comes to feeding pets strictly what the owner says and respect any rules they put in place regarding their pets. I’m readily available to chat over the phone and am happy to send update pictures throughout the day.
“Brian took great care of our cat Kai while we were out of town. We can tell Kai was well looked after in Brian’s hands. Brian gave us updates as we had requested, and sent the cutest photos. Kai seemed very comfortable with Brian, and he offered lots of cuddles and play time. He helped us bring in some packages as well. Reliable, responsible, communicative- we recommend!”
“Otelia was such a great Rover! I had such an easy experience. She is very communicative which helped alleviate any anxiety I felt about leaving my kitty. She even left me a handwritten note at the end!”
About: I have experience babysitting with families with pets, and used to cat sit for my neighbors growing up so I know all about what it takes to properly care for pets.
“Sofia did a great job of taking care of my two cats. She followed all of my instructions and even went beyond what I asked. She kept me updated and my cats looked perfectly happy in all the pictures she sent. Highly recommend.”
“Donovan took good care of our unusual buddies over Thanksgiving week and made it possible to enjoy a nice vacation without worrying. Daily updates and good response to feedback made me feel reassured.”
“Crystal is AMAZING! She's such an animal lover and took fantastic care of my kitty. Crystal was attentive, communicative, and a pleasure to be around. I was so lucky to have someone so responsible and caring while I went on a camping trip. What's more is that Crystal goes above and beyond. My kitty's food started attracting ants (ick). Crystal did everything she could to help the situation and even recommended several pet-friendly methods of extermination. I was so impressed at the lengths she took to ensure my cat was taken care of in that situation. Love her! Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Lia was wonderful checking in on our pup while I was out of town. She was on time and did a great job keeping him company. Easy to communicate with and has a flexible schedule that made it easy to book her. Would recommend her for sure!”
“My kitty is always so happy when Katie does drop-ins, I can trust she will be well cared for when I am away. Katie has also been very dependable and flexible when last minute things come up! Such a life saver”
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.

“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 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!”
“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 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.”
“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!!!!”
“Crystal was amazing. She was willing and able to accommendate my early schedule at the last minute and my dog was so happy when I arrived. He seemed to have a blast and she sent me updates about how he was doing. I will definitely be a returning! 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.”
“Tatum was so sweet with Piper and very responsive to our last minute request! I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Piper back to her again for any future stays. She seemed to have a great time with her!”
About: My family has owned all kinds of animals throughout my life. We’ve had geckos, dogs, cats, fish, and more. My exposure to this wide array of animals makes me the perfect pet sitter for whatever your family needs. I am comfortable with overnight stays, feeding, bathing, drop in visits, and more. Anything your pet needs, I’m happy to provide! I am currently a student at CU Boulder missing my puppies back at home more than anything. I have a pretty light class schedule this semester and would love nothing more than to spend my extra time with your animals! I am located walking distance from Chautauqua park and go there almost daily. I’d love the company of your pups and have sooo much love waiting for them. I have a fenced side yard and love walking distance from many walking trails. If your pets were staying with me, I’d take them on walks daily and be home with them majority of the day to let them out when needed. I also have a large car, so vehicle transportation to/from your home is available. If staying at a clients home, I would make time for whatever is necessary for your pet. I am flexible to your needs and highly adaptable to what works best for you and your pets!
“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’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!

“J’Ana was absolutely incredible with our pup, Scout! From the moment we met her, we could tell how genuinely caring and loving she is, and that only became more evident throughout our stay in Boulder. She treated Scoutie like her own, giving her so much attention, affection, and thoughtful care. Her communication was outstanding the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. And the photos she sent were beyond amazing—her husband being a professional photographer definitely shows! Each update made us smile and reassured us that Scout was happy, comfortable, and in the best hands. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will absolutely be booking J’Ana again the next time we’re back in Boulder, and we strongly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their pet like their own. She is truly wonderful!! 🐶🐾💖”

“We accidentally gave Chloe the wrong address, which we know was a huge inconvenience. Despite the mix-up, she was incredibly gracious, didn't give up, and made sure our dog got a great walk. We are so grateful for how she handled it, and tofu was so happy and healthy when we got home. Chloe is trustworthy, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and for the past two years I’ve lived on a farm where I have gained experience caring for many different types of animals. We also double as a kitten rescue, taking in lost and abandoned kittens from newborns through teenagers. We bottle-feed, raise, and care for them until they are healthy, grown, and ready to be adopted into loving homes. I am extremely passionate about healthy and safe animal care and ensure that in my work. I am a college student and recently moved away from home and my farm, and the first priority on my list was getting back into work with animals. Being at CU I am occupied in the mornings and late afternoon. Anywhere between 11am-1pm I am free in between classes, and anytime after 4/5pm at night. I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. Having cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and a variety of farm animals, I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, giving them exercise and playtime, and keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. Through helping my mom run our farm and caring for rescued kittens, including newborns, I’ve also learned how important it is to be gentle, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs.
“Moose loved his long walk and I’m impressed by how much ground you two covered. I gotta step up my game. I’m super grateful that Nora was available to take him out mid day.”

“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!”
About: Hi, I’m Payson! I’m a compassionate and dependable animal lover with 5 years experience caring for pets. I have an excitable and loving 3 year old springer spaniel at home with my parents and grew up with pets in the home. I (very sadly) don’t have any pets in my apartment here in Philly, so I am eager to spend time with all animals and love on them. I will ensure your pet feels safe and happy. I’m naturally organized and reliable, and I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you always know how your beloved pet is doing while you’re away. We will go for long walks/ have lots of snuggles. I’m excited to meet you and see if I’m a good fit for your needs! I have always provided pet care to families wherever I have lived and am looking to do the same here in Philly. I moved here a few weeks back and am eager to meet all the lovely animals in the area. Unfortunately I cannot have pets in my apartment— so I’d prefer to come to your place for overnight stays. I am happy to care for plants and any other household needs while I am in your home.
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!
About: I've taken care of animals since I was in highschool, starting with my parents' dogs when they were on a trip, as well as family friends' pets in the neighborhood. I think the compassion that I bring to the job is what sets me apart from other sitters. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I dedicate every ounce of love and effort to any task I am assigned to. I have also been exposed to cats and dogs of all ages. I am flexible when it comes to scheduling and will specialize care if any adjustments are needed. I am a full-time student at CU Boulder, but my day-to-day schedule has gaps, allowing for me to take care of your pet. I have availability in the morning, afternoon, and evening.

About: Growing up, I have always been surrounded by pets. I currently have five dogs and two cats at home, so I’m very comfortable with all types of animals.

I’m currently a student at CU Boulder with a very flexible schedule.

I’m also free on weekends, which gives me plenty of time to take care of pets. Between classes, I’m available to walk dogs, feed them, or simply spend time with them to make sure they’re comfortable and happy throughout the day. I care for pets by making sure their needs are met based on the specific service requested. At home or at the client’s place, I provide regular walks, feeding, and plenty of attention to keep them comfortable and happy. I also make sure their environment is safe and clean, and I follow any special instructions from the owner regarding medication, exercise, or behavior. My goal is to create a calm and positive experience for the pets, whether it’s a quick visit or longer care during the day.

“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.”
“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: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I've spent over a decade caring for pets and volunteering at animal shelters, and I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and figuring out what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, and more, including senior pets and pets with medical or behavioral needs. At the shelter, I've taught classes on handling small animals, trained new volunteers, and worked as a camp counselor teaching kids how to safely interact with animals. I've also received extensive training in animal body language, behavior, and safe handling. I grew up with dogs and a rabbit and now have two cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets while you're away. My apartment won't let me have any more pets, so I'd love the chance to give yours some extra love and attention! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I'm a graduate student, so my schedule looks different each day, but is more flexible than the typical 9-to-5! I build pet care into my weekly routine and have availability throughout the day.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away.

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.

“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!”
“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.”
“Madeline took wonderful care of George during our wedding weekend! We needed some extra help since George was a part of our big day.

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: 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.
“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!”
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.
“Allison and John were great with our high-energy rescue pup! She became fast friends with their dog and really enjoyed running around the yard. We also loved the photos and updates we got during her stay!”
“My older dog Santo did well with Jacqueline's gentle care. She understood his limitations, especially regarding heat. He had plenty of toys, and was able to play with her well behaved dogs. Jacqueline runs a tight ship, which I appreciate.”
