About: I’ve been around dogs from as early as I can remember, always going for walks or hikes with my own dogs or others’! I have experience taking care of senior dogs, dogs with health issues, and younger, more rambunctious dogs. I have experience taking care of and making homesick dogs feel more comfortable and safe when their family is gone. I’m always willing to welcome any and all dogs into my home and do my best to provide a home away from home, giving them all the love I can until their family comes home! I’m currently in school, however I’m only gone for three hours at a time, and am home for the night by 4 everyday giving me plenty of time to hang out and love on your pup, so they will never feel abandoned when you’re gone! I have a big, fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pup to roam, as well as plenty of room for them to wander around the house with it also being pet safe! I keep my house pretty clean so there’s not anything that your pup could easily get into helping make you feel comfortable and give you ease-of-mind allowing you to enjoy yourself on vacation or stay focused on whatever you’re doing while away!
“We loved having our chihuahua Bertie stay with Maggie! She was flexible when we had to drop off early and pick up late, and she was good about communicating with us while we were away. Bertie seemed to get along well with her elderly small dog, and he seemed very comfortable with her when we came to pick him up. We will definitely try to book with Maggie in the future.”
“Cassandra is an amazing dog sitter. She is quick to respond to messages, is a super nice person, and definitely loves her furry friends! She sent plenty of updates and cute photos so we always knew our pup was being well taken care of and having a great time. We have no doubt he will be excited to stay with her again!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Aubrey’s house. He had lots of furry friends to play with, spent time exploring outside and received many cuddles and love. Aubrey was wonderful at sending daily updates and pictures. Our pup came back exhausted from all the fun he had. Can’t wait to use Aubrey again next time we are away!”
“Our dog Allie had a wonderful time and was very comfortable for her first overnight stay. They were extremely responsive and kept us updated with pics! Will absolutely be using your services again!”
“If you’re looking for someone compassionate and caring to take care of your pup, Joanne is your go to! We had never left our dog with anyone other than family prior to moving to the area, but Joanne put all of our worries at ease. He has stayed with her for two extended stays now and he absolutely loves it (and so do we!). She is very communicative and sends pictures regularly. The dogs clearly have an amazing time while they’re there with days full of pets and activities. We will be planning to leave our dog with Joanne many times in the future, and recommend anyone else looking for reliable dog care to do the same!”
“Khristina and Sven were wonderful with our dog. They were friendly, communicative and have a great place. We just moved to the area and are glad to have found folks we can trust with our pup. Thank you!”
“Addison was so accommodating, easy to communicate with and sweet with my dog! She sent updates and pictures, and took great care of her. Highly recommend and hope to book with her again in the future :)”
“Charissa and Colin were great and I got lots of photos of our dog relaxing and getting some walks in. We will definitely reach out to Charissa again the next time we need to leave town without our pup.”
“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.”
“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!”
“My dog did great with Delane and her family while we were gone for over two weeks. Delane kept in great touch with photos and my dog got to enjoy the fenced in back yard and some other dog friends. He had a great stay!”
“Charlotte took great care of our dog Juno! Juno got lots of walks, attention and time to romp in the backyard with Charlotte’s very cute pup Briscoe. Juno can be a bit shy and take her time to warm up to new people, so I greatly appreciated Charlotte’s patience and willingness to meet Juno where she is. We look forward to booking this Rover again!”
“Caitlyn is a compassionate and enthusiastic dog-sitter. She provides meaningful updates with fun photos. Our trip away was made so much better knowing our Roxy was being treated like an additional family member of Caitlyn’s family!”
“Margaret is fantastic. She took great care of our 3-year-old corgi. We got to meet her before his stay, and we were updated with texts throughout his stay. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Our dog is sometimes sensitive and a little quirky, but we didn't worry about her at all while we were away. We were grateful to have found such a kind and caring person as Leeann.”
“Jaime and Mike took great care of Pi. They are always on top of photo updates and super helpful with providing care for him. He had an eye infection and they made sure to give him the drops and medicine to make him all better. Chili, her dog is so special too. Thank you again!”
“Kimberly took amazing care of my dog, Champ, while I was away! She communicated with me, sent lots of pictures, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Champ came home happy and completely worn out from all the playing and love he received. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Tess was kind, patient and thorough with Rosie's care while I was away. Rosie works with a lot of fear and distrust of others - and Tess had a calming presence that helped Rosie feel comfortable to explore from her normal, stressed hiding spot when I'm away while Tess supported her. Strongly recommend Tess to anyone looking for a heart-centered, thorough & detailed support for their furry companions - truly peace of mind while away <3”
“Falecia did a wonderful job caring for my cats, fish, garden and more! Per the Rover cards she exceeded my every expectation for time, care and attention given to this job. Further, when Falecia’s car had a flat tire, she proactively reported it and made arrangements for her partner to assist her. This resulted in only a minor delay taking care of my pets. This high level of honesty, openness, accountability, and professionalism Falecia demonstrates is a refreshing and rare quality these days. I would highly recommend Falecia to anyone needing a pet sitter in any capacity! 😊”
“We were so happy with Cash! She took great care of our cat, Nanneri, this past weekend. She visited Nanneri as requested, and she sent updates and pictures. We came home to a happy kitty. We will definitely be booking Cash again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter :)”
“Lynn has watched our cats several times and has been very reliable. She takes the time to give them the attention and care they need. It’s so nice knowing they are being taken care of so well by her and we can come home to a clean and happy home. Thanks, Lynn, for being there for us and our cats!”
“Katie took wonderful care of our two kitties! She sent great updates and stellar photos every day, and was communicative and easy to work with. Would definitely hire again - thank you Katie!”
“Eva is spectacular. We’ve booked her for drop-in visits for our cat while we are away several times. She consistently provides great photos and daily updates on her visits. Would book again!”
“Lali is amazing and incredible at what she does. My super shy shelter cat warmed up to her right away and definitely missed her after. Lali is also extremely communicative, thorough, and reliable. We felt like our cat was in great hands and would definitely book her again!”
“Leah was fantastic watching my cats for the weekend! She followed all instructions, gave awesome updates with pictures, and made sure to spend time with them. She took overall great care of them! I’ll definitely be contacting her again when I travel!”
“Holly and Marc are incredibly caring and our cats absolutely love them. Photo evidence of snuggles really prove that our cats don't miss us at all when we're gone, as long as Holly and Marc are there for them instead!”
“All around amazing. My cat clearly loves him and he gave very thorough updates. I will most definitely be reaching out next time I need a cat sitter.”
“Mary is truly the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! She went above and beyond, even managing to care for our mildly aggressive cat with patience and professionalism. Her communication was exceptional—she kept us updated daily and even checked in on Christmas. Her dedication and care gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. If we could give her ten stars, we absolutely would. Mary is an absolute superstar and we can’t recommend her highly enough!”
“It was hard to be away from my cat for a week, but I felt so much better knowing Jordan was looking after her! She sent great photos the whole time and very nice updates as well! Will definitely be rebooking the next time I travel!”
“Jana is the absolute best! She took such good care of our cat. We appreciate how happy she kept him over the holidays - we could tell he felt safe and comfortable with her and that put us at ease leaving him for the first time ever. She sent wonderful photos every day that made our entire day whenever we got them. We are so grateful to Jana! ☺️”
“Hanna did an excellent job taking care of our senior cat and administering medication while we were away for the holidays. She was very timely with her detailed update and photos. We appreciate her approach and overall services provided.”
“Anthony was absolutely great with my cat Mowgli! He shared a good amount of updates and photos through the week while I was away, and you could tell that he genuinely wanted Mowgli to feel supported and loved in my absence. I'll definitely reach out to Anthony first the next time I'm away!”

“Alison was awesome with Metta and sent wonderful photos throughout the day (replete with humorful tag lines). She is a gem of a caregiver, your dog will be lucky to spend a day with her and her canine companions!”
“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!! 🐶🐾💖”
“I cannot recommend this family enough! They have a great house setup and truly treated my dog like a member of their own family. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was getting plenty of walks and playtime. Now, whenever we pull up to their house, my dog gets so happy and excited to go inside. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our fur baby!”
About: We share our home with a 15 years young, grumpy old-man Chihuahua, a 7-year old Chihuahua mix, and a new Husky-mix puppy. Dogs provide us with so much love and kindness on a daily basis, that's why I believe we should offer that same kindness back to them! Rochelle has been caring for dogs for well over a decade, from totally healthy to those needing special care (medicine, slower walks, special feeding requirements). In general, our pups get along great with low-energy dogs and low-energy dogs are ideal clients! Though, the puppy can also help us with higher energy pups. Rochelle works from home full time. We REQUIRE a meet and greet prior to booking new clients, no exceptions. Due to medical concerns, Rochelle is only able to care for small to medium size dogs for the safety of your dog(s) and my own safety. Willing to consider dogs who are larger in size only if they have completed intensive behavioral training (such as therapy dog training or hunting dog training) in which your dog will respond to commands 100% of the time. Thank you for your understanding. Note: I had a name change in 2024 from Caitlyn to Rochelle. Ben was added to the account in 2026. We’re happy to share our home with pups!
“Perfect stay for our Nina. She was taken for walks, we received photos of Nina’s happy day. Trust worthy person, we highly recommend her. Nina was wagging her tail each morning that they me! Perfection. Thank you for taking good care of Nina!!”
“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 caring for dogs since childhood, starting with training and walking my first dog, which helped me develop patience, consistency, and a strong understanding of trust. I later co-parented a high-needs dog, gaining experience with behavior management, individual care needs, and medication administration. Throughout my life, friends and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals, and I pride myself on being dependable, calm, and attentive. I also live an active lifestyle and would love to bring your dog along on hikes or outdoor adventures if that’s something they enjoy. I currently work part time in a hybrid role, and I love to fill some of my time caring for pups! I can’t wait to find out how I can support. My clean and spacious home is the perfect landing space for your pup between walks, potty breaks, rides around town, higher intensity hikes, or whatever activities your dog enjoys the most. Your dog will have the freedom to roam where they please, sit with me on the couch, or insist upon another walk. I pride myself on my attention to detail and risk management when it comes to any environment your dog and I are sharing, while optimizing fun and enrichment. Conveniently located next to a trail and several parks, we will have no shortage of excellent places to jaunt and play!
“Curtis was an outstanding sitter! He was very communicative and had a very welcoming home. His pups were so sweet and he was very helpful being flexible with our limited time here. Our pup was treated very well. He came out so happy and was clearly comfortable in their home. It was such a surprise to hear our pup was so beyond comfortable he was curiously exploring their home. They even made sure he wasn’t anxious and took him on many walks. Beyond attentive and caring! Truly the best!!!”
“Lucy, Edward, Miso, Maui, and Matthias were wonderful caretakers of Georgie for the day. Lucy sent lots of photos and as a first-time daycare user, she walked me through the process of leaving Georgie with her. Lucy gave great feedback on how Georgie was doing during the day with the other dogs and humans. Lucy has the house set up for (and clear knowledge about) how to facilitate the dogs first interactions and how they navigated - play, eating, napping, indoor and outdoor activity - etc. throughout the day. Thank you, Lucy, we'll look forward to seeing you and the crew again soon.”
“Riley was wonderful to work with and our puppy did very well with her. She was an excellent communicator throughout scheduling and our meet and greet. She has a very calm, patient energy that is a great match for my anxious little dog. Highly recommend and looking forward to working with her again!”
“Jessica took great care of my puppy!!! She made sure he was comfortable with the other dogs, took him on walks, and gave him lots of love while he was there. Definitely recommend booking with her; your dog will be well taken care of!”
“Charissa and her family were so good to our Chance. She sent cute pictures, lots of walks and the kids were wonderful with him also! Highly recommend Charissa and her family!!!! Great experience!?”
“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!!!!”
“Murphy had a lovely time at daycare with Barbara and her family. She arrived at home utterly exhausted after a full day of activity (her favorite!) Thank you so much, Barbara!”
“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!”
“Kristina was amazing! We had a half-day visit, before a bigger overnight visit, to allow a meet and greet with her and her pups. Very kind and welcoming for the whole thing, and such an ease to work with!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all around and seen how much love and care they deserve. I know that not everyone has time to get them out as much as needed and I want to help keep as many pets happy as I can! Since moving to Boulder I have dog sat many times and I love how it gets me out of the house more than normal and gives me happiness like no other! Currently I am an online student so my schedule is very flexible! I am in the unique situation to put your pets needs at the top of the list and I want to take full advantage of that. When I am dog sitting or just watching a dog for few hours I make sure they have food when needed, I keep their water full and fresh, play with them, and give them plenty of love. I love going on walks with them, whether it be through the neighborhood or on a hike!

“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.”
“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 taken care of dogs most of my life, as an owner and to help out friends and neighbors. I have owned two large Labrador retrievers and a lab-pit bull mix, and currently own a 10 yr-old chihuahua/terrier mix. I am an avid walker and will take your dog on the long walks he/she needs. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule. I work from home most days and can fit my schedule around the dog's needs (regular walks, potty breaks, etc.). I will keep your dog on a leash during all walks, and aim to walk in low traffic areas of your neighborhood. I will speak with you in advance regarding whether your dog is okay to socialize with other dogs (i.e. on walks or at the park). I will keep an eye on your dog during all potty breaks and ensure that any items that might be dangerous to your dog within your home are kept out of reach at all times. I will speak with you in advance to understand the needs of your dog, and any risks that you account for in your home and the surrounding neighborhood.
“Would give Jennifer 11 stars if I could! She was helpful, diligent, and so good with our Bridger! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the best for their pet!”

“I booked Victoria to walk my dog as I was starting a new job and my husband was out of town. She is incredibly reliable and awesome with our dog, Lona. I will definitely be rebooking with her and can recommend without reservation!”
“If you want the best dog walker, don't look any further. Dan is by far the best dog walker. He is kind to Bella, provides the best care, and was willing to add me to his schedule during the holiday season when I got sick.”
About: I'm a student a CU looking to make some extra money while taking a semester off. I super love animals and have been really good with dogs so I would love to spend some of my extra time by taking care of dogs especially because as a college kid I can't have my own dogs even though I really wish I could! Although I have no professional experience I have grown up with many dogs and have learned to take care of several different types of dogs. I would love the opportunity to be able to gain a little bit of professional experience caring for animals and have a pretty flexible schedule so I can work with you. I look forward to helping you take care of your dog!
“J’Ana walked our dog twice per day for a week and it went so smoothly! Our dog was staying with my mom and J’Ana communicated with her to pick him up and drop him off for each walk. She walked him for 45+ min for each walk and sent the cutest pictures. We’re so grateful for her quick communication, professionalism, kindness and flexibility!”
“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 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.
