“Della was amazing!! This was our first time using Rover and I was a little bit nervous to try it out, but Della put all of my anxieties at ease right away. She met us at a park before our vacation for a meet and greet and answered all of our questions. While we were gone we received detailed updates and lots of great photos. She and her daughter are both so sweet and compassionate with all the dogs they watch. Thank you!!!”
“Maggie was an outstanding dogsitter for Sally! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and kept me updated the entire time.

“Brooke was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves dogs, and Scout took to her immediately. Throughout the stay, she provided thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She treated Scout like he was her own, paying attention to his routine, making sure he got plenty of exercise, affection, and personalized care. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything about the quality of care she provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for the very best care for their pet. Thank you, Brooke!”
“Maddy was very professional with great communication. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and it looked like my pup got LOTS of love and attention. Georgia was content and sleepy after pickup, so I know she had a great time and got a workout. Having a fenced backyard is also a big plus. I will definitely take Georgia to Maddy again for sitting.”

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!”
“Curtis goes above and beyond as a dogsitter! He went out of his way to help move my booking when my plans changed, took my dog on loads of walks and dog park trips that my dog absolutely loved, and gave me fantastic updates in the form of cute and incredibly thorough reports. Curtis has a great attention to detail and ensures that your dog gets excellent care. I can’t recommend Curtis enough!”
About: I absolutely love dogs. All dogs, period. I have a deep understanding of each dog's unique needs, quirks, and preferences, and I make sure to give a tailored experience that goes beyond routine tasks. I strive to create a home away from home for your dogs and make sure they are comfortable as well as you. I currently work in the early afternoons with two days off during the week with full availability. I am an early bird and can be there for your dog as early as 6:30am until about 12:00pm. Safe Space: Designate a specific area or room for the pet, providing them with a sense of security. Exercise and Playtime: Engage in regular play sessions and take your pet for walks or provide a secure outdoor space for them to explore. Social Interaction: Spend quality time with your pet to prevent loneliness and anxiety. Provide toys and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Emergency Plan: Be prepared for emergencies by having a first aid kit and knowing the location of the nearest veterinary clinic.
“Jackson was happy at Sarah’s home for 10 days while we went on a vacation out of the country. I felt Jackson was in good hands with Sarah and Sarah sent regular pictures.”

“We had a wonderful experience with Delane when she cared for Monet for three days. From the very beginning, during our meet and greet, we genuinely enjoyed our conversation with her. Delane is such a lovely and thoughtful person, and clearly experienced with dogs. Her dog, Lucy, is absolutely sweet and gentle, and Monet and Lucy got along very well. Delane’s home is warm and welcoming, and Monet settled in right away. She kept us updated throughout Monet’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Monet was not only well cared for, but also comfortable. We would happily book with Delane again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, warm, and dependable caregiver. Thank you, Delane!!”

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.”

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.
“Falecia is responsible and great with my cat. She’s watched him a couple times and I would book her again. She communicates well and takes care of issues if they arise.”
“Katie was awesome with my cat Sugar! I never had to worry my entire trip, communication is outstanding!! Meds were given on time and she was always attentive to Sugar’s needs. Will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future!”
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 live right next to North Boulder Park, so there's plenty of space to play and explore! I have a 30ft long training leash so we can safely play fetch and frisbee together, and 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!
“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!”
“As always, Carly is fantastic! She is great with my two cats and she's thoughtful and kind in every way. She is generous with photos, care notes, and updates. I love how Carly loves my cats and gifts me with peace of mind. Thank you, Carly!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Although I’ve always cared for pets of friends and family, I am excited to now care for pets at a more professional level through Rover! I’ve had cats for basically my whole life, and can definitely say they are my favorite animals! As someone who has rescued many kittens from the street, I feel confident in caring for kitties of all ages and health requirements!! When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I believe every animal deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Jessica was great! She was communicative, up beat, and so sweet. I loved getting a ton of pictures from each visit and I could tell my kitty was enjoying her time with Jessica. I’d definitely use her services again whenever needed :)”
“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 had my own cat since I was 7, and I’ve spent the past 14 years caring for him. I started cat sitting neighbors pets when I was 12, and have continued to do so in my adulthood. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats, as I live with one currently. I have cared for both kittens and senior cats, and tend to be able to get shy cats to socialize. I’m used to all the dirty work that comes with cats, like cleaning litter boxes and cleaning up animals they may bring in.
“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: My family was never cat people until my sister adopted one in college… After that, my whole family fell in love, and we later got an orange kitty of our own. Mango, our cat, is now my mom’s favorite child, and I can’t even blame her!
“We are very grateful to have had Hannah with your kitties while we were away! She sent lots of photos & updates, and gave them playtime while we were gone. Will look forward to using Hannah again!”

“Georgia was great! My nervous pup had a good time and was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Communication was fast and clear, and I received an update mid-day.”
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.

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!!!!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for a year for a 1-year-old, now 2 years old, lab puppy. I am offering walks, drop in visits, and day care. I mostly work from home as I finish up nursing school, so I am often free for care! I only work twice a week and will be free entirely for the next few months as I study for my NCLEX for nursing. Pet care would be a happy distraction and a great use of my free time! I always give 100% of my attention to the animals I care for and love taking them for walks and playing outside! I am always sure to bring a toy and make the animal feel as comfortable as possible with a new friend.
“My pup stayed with Alison for the day. She was very loving to him and took him on a great hike. He loved her yard and her incredible friendly and patient dog!”

“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!”
“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.

Dogs have the opportunity of enjoying different surfaces based on their needs, including hardwood, carpet, rugs, and a comfy couch.

We’re already excited for Scout to spend time with her again tomorrow. Highly recommend!”

“Emily was amazing with Moose. She took him out for several walks as he was recovering from surgery and made sure that he had the right balance of being able to get some activity without overdoing it. She also made sure he had his “lunch”, a pill in a pill pocket, and water & got the cone back on him once he came back. It was such a relief to know that he was taken care of while I was at work.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, and I truly love what I do.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for several years through friends, family, and neighbors. I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, providing companionship, and following their regular feeding and care routines. I understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are safe and happy while they’re away, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing attentive, loving care. As a college student home for summer with a flexible schedule, I have time throughout the week to provide attentive care for your pets. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I provide a calm, clean, and supervised environment. I take the time to build trust with each pet, pay close attention to their behavior, and make sure they receive plenty of affection, exercise, and care. I also provide regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have grown up with dogs, and being around them my whole life has taught me to read their body language and understand their needs and wants. I’ll make sure your pup stays happy and healthy! I am available between 6am - 6pm every day of the week for walks or drop-in visits. I am taking online courses so my schedule is very flexible. I make sure your dog has ample opportunity to go to the bathroom, has access to water at all times, and if required, meals are provided.
About: I have been a dog lover ever since I was a kid. I grew up walking and taking care of my neighbors and family members dogs just for the love of the game. Over the years, I've become comfortable with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. As a hardworking college student who loves spending time outdoors, I enjoy giving every dog a safe, fun, and engaging walk while treating them like they're my own. I currently work part time with flexible hours. I am available in the mornings everyday and evenings most every night. My schedule can change week to week with my job but I get off every night by 8 pm so I have time after for an evening walk. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. While I don't have a fenced yard and primarily provide care in my clients' homes rather than my own, I'm committed to creating a safe, calm, and familiar environment for every pet. I have experience caring for pets and house sitting, so I understand the importance of following each owner's instructions, maintaining routines, and treating both your home and your pets with respect. I'll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and reliable care while you're away, and I'm always happy to provide updates for your peace of mind.
About: I have been a dog lover/owner/caretaker my entire life. I currently live with two doggies, a german shepherd and mixed terrier, and can’t wait to meet more dogs in the neighborhood :) I currently am off school for the summer so I have a completely open schedule to play with your dogs and make sure they get the attention they need! I am very experienced in caring for dogs trained for both on and off leash activities! Your dogs safety is my top priority - and their happiness :)
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: I have owned dogs my entire life, I have plenty of experience with cats, and I have pet sit for numerous friends and family in the past. I am a huge animal lover and I am confident handling pets of any age or size. I am a recent graduate of CU Boulder with some extra time to kill before I head off to graduate school this fall, and I would love to spend it with your pet! I have full availability this summer while I wait to attend medical school in the fall. My schedule is very flexible and can accommodate a wide range of needs and time constraints. Overnights, late night check ins, and walks in the middle of the day are no problem! My only limitation is that I am not able to offer boarding at my house. My number one priority is maintaining the safety of your pet and your home. Not only will I keep your space tidy and clean, but I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and healthy. My pets are treated as members of the family, and I will make sure that yours are given the same amount of love.
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.

“Could not have asked for a better weekend-stay for my dog! I was worried he wouldnt want to come home haha Received great updates all weekend and my pup was happy as a clam!”
“Georgia took great care of Zia! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She handled Zia's special diet and medications with ease and was very attentive to all her needs. Highly recommend!”
“Della was amazing!! This was our first time using Rover and I was a little bit nervous to try it out, but Della put all of my anxieties at ease right away. She met us at a park before our vacation for a meet and greet and answered all of our questions. While we were gone we received detailed updates and lots of great photos. She and her daughter are both so sweet and compassionate with all the dogs they watch. Thank you!!!”
“Maddy was very professional with great communication. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and it looked like my pup got LOTS of love and attention. Georgia was content and sleepy after pickup, so I know she had a great time and got a workout. Having a fenced backyard is also a big plus. I will definitely take Georgia to Maddy again for sitting.”
“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 😊.”
“Wow! Keren is a dream. She was available last minute, shevtook such good care of our girl and her dog and ours had a blast. I can't begin to express how lucky I feel to have found her!”
About: I absolutely love dogs. All dogs, period. I have a deep understanding of each dog's unique needs, quirks, and preferences, and I make sure to give a tailored experience that goes beyond routine tasks. I strive to create a home away from home for your dogs and make sure they are comfortable as well as you. I currently work in the early afternoons with two days off during the week with full availability. I am an early bird and can be there for your dog as early as 6:30am until about 12:00pm. Safe Space: Designate a specific area or room for the pet, providing them with a sense of security. Exercise and Playtime: Engage in regular play sessions and take your pet for walks or provide a secure outdoor space for them to explore. Social Interaction: Spend quality time with your pet to prevent loneliness and anxiety. Provide toys and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Emergency Plan: Be prepared for emergencies by having a first aid kit and knowing the location of the nearest veterinary clinic.
“Jackson was happy at Sarah’s home for 10 days while we went on a vacation out of the country. I felt Jackson was in good hands with Sarah and Sarah sent regular pictures.”
“Barbara took amazing care of Isa! We received wonderful pictures and detailed updates throughout the stay. Isa had plenty of playtime with Mel and a ton of time outdoors, running and sniffing around. We will definitely board Isa with Barbara in the future!!”
“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.”
“Highly recommend Alex and Jeff. Responsive and on point with all communications. Great yard and set up. Felt really good about leaving our pup with them.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, from volunteering at animal shelters to eventually managing one, I have such a passion for animal wellness. If you are visiting Boulder and need day care for your dog while you take on a challenging hike, attend an event, I’m your pets home-away-from-home. I can give meds to pets, care for any special needs they have and work with high energy or “difficult” pets. I love them all, from hyper mouthy puppies to needy seniors! Our backyard is a 1/2 acre completely privacy fenced in so the pups will get plenty of exercise in addition to daily walks! I'm also an avid runner and am happy to accommodate daily runs if needed. I’m currently a part-time data scientist exploring new employment opportunities with an incredible passion for pets. I’ve previously managed an Animal Shelter and trained volunteers on both feline and canine behavior. I am a foster for Longmont Humane Society and am a rescue mom to three cats and two dogs. I have a half acre privacy fenced backyard for pets that visit. I have a large SUV for transporting pets that want an adventure or need daycare pet sitting.
“Not only is Natalie absolutely lovely, but she’s also super cool and you’ll probably want to hang out with her. I had no doubt my precious pup was in excellent hands. I also had some wonkiness with my schedule and really appreciated Natalie’s kindness and flexibility. We will definitely schedule with her again!”
“Kristina was VERY responsive and great with our big old Riley boy. He came home happy and sleepy, like a dog post-vacation should be! We also got a ton of pictures over the weekend of Riley living his best life. Thanks for helping us out, Kristina!”
About: Hello! My name is Caitlin but my friends call me Clover :) I grew up with 3 dogs and became an animal lover at a very early age. I absolutely ADORE spending time with animals and working with them has always been one of my biggest passions. I love playing with them, giving them lots of love, and taking them on runs with me. I’m very athletic, so if you’re looking for a sitter who will get your dog all worn out I’m your gal! I’m also great with older dogs, and have cared for dogs with medications and other special requirements. I’m great with dogs of all sizes and have a lot of experience pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking. I have experience working as a pet sitter/house sitter consistently for the past 7 years.
“Aubrey is amazing and very helpful. Fen is very enthusiastic to be around her and her pets. She has a fenced yard and plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. She was able to pick Fen up and drop him off. I am also rebooking her over Christmas!”
“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!”
“Jessica and Sophie were wonderful watching our pup! We were sent many pictures and our dog had a great time playing with Sophie. He was well cared for and is now exhausted. Highly recommend!”
“Katherine & Andrew were so great and I hope to hire them again. They took my dog on a bunch of adventures and took great care of her. Lots of great pictures and communication throughout the week. They also picked her up and dropped her off, which was a big help. I’ll definitely be recommending them to my neighbors and friends nearby.”
