“Sean and Kim were great with our dog Maisie. They took excellent care of her and provided regular updates. Would definitely recommend them to others.”
“Francesca was wonderful! It was evident that our pup Oslo loved her. She sent great updates and pictures throughout the stay which we really appreciated. We already can’t wait to use her again!”
“Elise sent plenty of pictures and took excellent care of my dog. Would highly recommend her, and plan on using her rover services again in the future!”
“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.”
“Sophia took excellent care of my dog. Perhaps the best sign is when I picked her up, she went back in the house and tried to stay with Sophia instead of come home with me. She even gave Stella a bath before pick up without my asking.”
“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!”
“Sarah was wonderful with our dog! We received tons of updates and pictures throughout the time our dog was with Sarah, which helped us rest easy ? I would recommend Sarah to anyone, and will definitely be coming back again!”
“Della and her daughter are the absolute best! They took great care of my dog on very short notice - with swift, caring communication that was so appreciated! I received lots of pictures letting me know my dog was in such loving care. Thank you, Della and Uma - Lily can't wait to come back on Friday!”
“Alex and Jeffery were wonderful with our Bella! Such a sweet family they gave Bella lots of love and care! We knew she was well taking care of had great walks and was deeply loved. We felt so comfortable leaving the country knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. They have an incredibly large backyard so lots of room to run and play. We loved the photo updates and knowing how Bella was doing. I highly recommend them. She will be back with them again soon!”
“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.”
“Delaney was very responsive in communicating with me. She answered my texts right away. She was also very caring and kind to my dog. He spent the night and all went well. I highly recommend boarding your dog with her!”
“Maggie was a top 2 or 3 Rover in my history of probably 15-20 Rovers. So sweet and communicative and personable. I knew Sully was in good hands and Sully was so excited to be with her even when she dropped him off.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Lisa did an absolutely amazing job of caring for my baby pup! She took him on many walks, sent pictures, and always kept me updated on how the days were going. I highly recommend 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!”

“As always, time after time, Carly is fantastic. My two cats are not the easiest, even though they are really sweet and they adore Carly. With her kindness, creativity, and great caring, Carly always charms my cats and they are happy, healthy, calm, and beautifully cared for. Every time. Thank you, Carly. You're the best!”
“Amelia was fantastic. Very flexible, super responsive and thoughtful, great energy. Perfect for our anxious rescue dog (and also slightly anxious dog parents). She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent lots of photos which put our minds at ease.”
“Lali was so thorough and thoughtful that I could relax on my trip away! The kitties were fed, entertained, and the house was just the way I left it when I returned. Highly recommend this experienced professional sitter!”
“Tess watched our two cats for the weekend. She was communicative and the cats are happy, which is all we want! We will definitely have Tess cat sit for us again!”

“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.”
“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! ☺️”
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!
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.
About: I’ve been around cats for much of my life and have experience caring for both my own pets and those of friends and family. I currently live with a senior cat, giving me firsthand experience with the patience, attention, and specialized care older cats may need. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, learning about any specific-needs, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of affection while respecting each cat’s unique personality and boundaries.
“Matthew is my go to cat sitter. I appreciate his communication and pictures from each visit. I know my cat is well cared for when I am gone whether it’s for a weekend or a longer vacation.”
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've grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages. I've also helped friends and family with pet sitting, walks, feeding, and daily care. Being around dogs has taught me how to understand their different personalities and needs, whether it's an energetic puppy that needs lots of attention or an older dog that requires extra patience and care. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm currently working a part time job around 8-16 hours a week and I am a full time student but my actual class time is about 2 hours on Tuesdays and thurdays. When caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so their pets feel comfortable and stress free. I provide fresh food and water, take dogs on walks, give them plenty of lovin and playtime, and make sure they get any specific care requested by the owner. I also enjoy keeping the home clean and tidy, sending updates when requested. But my priority will always be the pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while their human is away.

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 provide personalized, one-on-one care so every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat each dog like family and take time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs long walks, active playtime, or calm cuddles, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most relaxed. I am patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities and needs. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I can easily adjust to their routine and needs. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets in my care. I live in an apartment and have access to a fenced outdoor area for secure outdoor time and walks. I do not currently have any dogs in my home, so your pet will receive my full attention.
“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 🌸🥹”
“Alison was terrific. Kept me posted with texts and pictures. With my permission, she even took my puppy (9 weeks old) to a nursing home to visit her mother and guests. He was a huge hit!”
“Georgia successfully tired out our energetic, border collie puppy Nancy! She was communicative throughout the day and took Nancy to play in the creek. Thank you!!”
“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 grown up with pets my entire life! I had three cats and a dog growing up, along with helping out with pets of my other family members. I did an unpaid internship at a veterinary hospital so I know how important it is to take good care of our animals! I’m currently in college classes for a few hours a day during weekdays, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! Now that it’s getting warmer outside, I’m excited to be able to do outdoor walks with your pups! My home is laid out so there is no danger of your pet getting into anything and I live in a good neighborhood for walking around!
About: I’ve raised two Dobermans, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and giving pets lots of attention and care. Having experience with large, energetic dogs has taught me how to stay calm, responsible, and attentive in different situations. I’m especially patient during the puppy stage and understand the extra time and supervision young dogs need. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m currently away from home attending college in Boulder, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they deserve. Since I’m away from my own pets, it’s genuinely a pleasure to have animal company and spend time with dogs throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and lots of affection, including multiple walks a day when needed. I enjoy keeping pets active, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I currently only care for dogs in my home, where they’ll receive lots of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. While I have a balcony instead of a backyard, I’m more than willing to take dogs on multiple walks and outdoor trips daily to make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and bathroom breaks. Since I’m attending college in Boulder and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to spend a lot of quality time with pets and make sure they never feel lonely or ignored. I also follow feeding routines, house rules, and any special instructions closely so each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for.
About: I have over 15 years of dog caring experience, involving different breeds, ages, and personalities. My specialty is smaller doggies. My philosophy with care makes sure dogs get active time, park time, quality time, fun adventures, time with friends, and lots of affection. I make sure your doggy needs are met, being versatile with the activities we do while they stay at my place. As a mostly remote worker, I have a lot of flexibility and ample time to take your dog on walks and give them lots of care and attention, be it on the couch or outside. Doggies have access to water, clean bowls, toiletries, and all their basic needs. My entire place is dog-proofed, so hazard mitigation is present. Dogs have the opportunity of enjoying different surfaces based on their needs, including hardwood, carpet, rugs, and a comfy couch.
“Dakota and Kate took such wonderful care of Ultra! Their home is super pet-friendly, with a dog door leading to a big yard. They took her on a walk, and she loved making a new friend in their sweet dog, Arlo. We also really appreciated that they set up a meet & greet beforehand. It gave us all peace of mind that the dogs would get along. We’ll be booking with them again... soon!”

“J’Ana took absolutely amazing care of our dog, Scout, tonight while we were out for dinner. She was so attentive to Scout’s every need — from taking her on walks, to bonding with her, to sending thoughtful updates that made us feel completely at ease. It was clear Scout felt comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy in her company. We’re incredibly grateful for J’Ana’s kindness, reliability, and the way she connected with Scout right away. We’re already excited for Scout to spend time with her again tomorrow. Highly recommend!”
“We've been doing daycare with Sara for over a year, and my dog loves to spend time with her doggy friends at Sara's place! It's a very homey environment and I know my dog is well taken care of there. Sara sends great group photos and is very responsive. Thanks Sara!”
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I am currently a student taking online classes from home while also working a part-time job, so I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day and make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I live in a house with a small yard and am across the street from a small park, with a much larger park only a few blocks away, which is great for walks and outdoor time. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by giving them lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks or walks. Since I spend a lot of time at home, pets will rarely be left alone for long periods and will always have someone around to keep them company and stick to their normal routine.
“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 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 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.

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.

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.

“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.”
About: I have had dogs growing up all of my life! I have a special place in my heart for dogs and I have volunteered with animal shelters and taken care of neighbors and families dogs. I am a Pilates Instructor and never work more than a 4 hour block so I have plenty of time in my schedule to help with pet care. When I am in a clients home I am always respectful and follow all rules and regulations set by them. I understand that pets are family and they will be treated with the utmost respect.
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 lived with dogs my whole life and absolutely love them! I love being outdoors as well so this is the perfect job for me! My family got a dog about 10 years ago and I trained her to sit, stay, and come. I love being around dogs and I hope to meet yours! I have a super open schedule this summer, and I will most likely be able to walk your dog any time you want. Occasionally I will have morning soccer practice from 7 AM- 9:30AM but please reach out to me with any times you want me to cover, and I will get back to you as soon as possible. My dog has had a lot of training to become a good walker, so I know how to work with dogs of all walking levels! I'm patient, and respectful with dogs as well.
“Matt did a great job with our greyhound Barney! We appreciate his hard work and I know Barney looked forward to seeing him twice daily! Highly recommend!”
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, and I truly love what I do.

“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!”

I also enjoy keeping the home clean and tidy, sending updates when requested. But my priority will always be the pet's safety, comfort, and well-being while their human is away.
“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!”
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I am currently a student taking online classes from home while also working a part-time job, so I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day and make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I live in a house with a small yard and am across the street from a small park, with a much larger park only a few blocks away, which is great for walks and outdoor time. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by giving them lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks or walks. Since I spend a lot of time at home, pets will rarely be left alone for long periods and will always have someone around to keep them company and stick to their normal routine.
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!
“Great Person, patient & kind dog walker, always responsible and on time. Kim helped me out nearly every day for two weeks while I recovered from surgery. She's easy to communicate with and a pleasure to greet at the door each day. Would definitely hire her again.”
“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!”

“Sean and Kim were great with our dog Maisie. They took excellent care of her and provided regular updates. Would definitely recommend them to others.”
“Francesca was wonderful! It was evident that our pup Oslo loved her. She sent great updates and pictures throughout the stay which we really appreciated. We already can’t wait to use her again!”
“Elise sent plenty of pictures and took excellent care of my dog. Would highly recommend her, and plan on using her rover services again in the future!”
“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.”
“Sophia took excellent care of my dog. Perhaps the best sign is when I picked her up, she went back in the house and tried to stay with Sophia instead of come home with me. She even gave Stella a bath before pick up without my asking.”
“Sarah was wonderful with our dog! We received tons of updates and pictures throughout the time our dog was with Sarah, which helped us rest easy ? I would recommend Sarah to anyone, and will definitely be coming back again!”
“Della and her daughter are the absolute best! They took great care of my dog on very short notice - with swift, caring communication that was so appreciated! I received lots of pictures letting me know my dog was in such loving care. Thank you, Della and Uma - Lily can't wait to come back on Friday!”
“Alex and Jeffery were wonderful with our Bella! Such a sweet family they gave Bella lots of love and care! We knew she was well taking care of had great walks and was deeply loved. We felt so comfortable leaving the country knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. They have an incredibly large backyard so lots of room to run and play. We loved the photo updates and knowing how Bella was doing. I highly recommend them. She will be back with them again soon!”
“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!”
“Lisa did an absolutely amazing job of caring for my baby pup! She took him on many walks, sent pictures, and always kept me updated on how the days were going. I highly recommend her! :)”
“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.”
“Adriane was amazing. I had something come up and she was able to pick up Fen and take care of him last minute. She was very accommodating and Fen got along great with her dog.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who has been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs taught me how important it is to provide pets with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love. For the past 6 years, I've volunteered with Fulton County Animal Services, where I've worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments. As a Level 3 volunteer, I have extensive experience handling, walking, socializing, and caring for shelter dogs, including those who may need extra patience and confidence-building. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to learn their individual needs and routines. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and look forward to meeting your furry family member! I do work a part-time job, but I carefully manage my schedule to ensure every pet in my care receives plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I maintain a consistent routine and make your pet's comfort and well-being a top priority while they're staying with me. I'm always happy to discuss my schedule and your pet's specific needs to make sure we're a great fit. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I make sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, playtime, and affection while maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments through my 6 years of volunteering at Fulton County Animal Services as a Level 3 volunteer. This experience has taught me how to read canine body language, build trust with nervous dogs, and safely handle a variety of personalities and energy levels. I pay close attention to each pet's needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise requirements, and any special instructions from their owners. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment so both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease.
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!
“Allison was so good with Rufus, our border collie puppy! We watched him playing with the other dogs and napping inside during breaks. Allison kept us updated in all of his activities with regular photos and videos.”
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.
“Karla and her family are amazing dog caregivers and I will definitely be rebooking with Karla. Karla made my 2 pups feel right at home, safe, secure and loved. Even my shy tiny dog came out of her shell and sought pets from Karla and her family. Karla expertly handled the special feeding and exercise requirements of each of my dogs. She also sent me daily photos and updates about my pups. Five stars!”
