“Misty is a great pet sitter! She sent me frequent updates throughout the day about my cat, with pictures. I really appreciated that Misty played with my cat several times during the day to ensure he was entertained. Misty followed my instructions to the T which helped me feel confident in leaving my pet in her care. I could tell that my cat felt comfortable with Misty too. For the most part, my cat hides when he goes to a sitter’s house. At Misty’s house my cat spent sometime hiding but quickly came out and played with his toys!”
“Maggie was an outstanding dogsitter for Sally! She was incredibly caring, attentive, and kept me updated the entire time. It was clear Sally had a great time with her, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend Maggie for anyone looking for a reliable and responsive sitter!”
“Ruby was with Sean and Kim for 16 days, which is the longest we have ever left her, and I can’t say enough good things about them. We got daily updates with photos. She went for walks every day and also got to hike her favorite trail with them numerous times. She loves her new doggy buddies, and based on the photos she clearly loves Sean. She came home healthy and tired, and we were able to enjoy our extended trip knowing that she was in such great hands. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
“Georgia is both professional and personable. She is a good communicator. She was flexible when we experienced unexpected delays on our trip. And she took great care of Mango.”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with Zola! I got a lot of photo updates and reassurance that she was well taken care of while I was away! I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her. Zola came home in a very good mood.”
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.
“Amy was great to work with! She gave Dixie a lot of love and attention with lots of updates! You can tell she loves dogs and is attentive to details. Would definitely recommend and would leave my girl with her anytime!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Elise was wonderful! Our pup liked her immediately- she has a friendly, warm energy about her. She sent us updates and pics throughout the weekend. Elise is the kind of person you can trust will take great care of your baby :)”
“Della is a complete professional. I highly recommend her and would leave our dog with her again. She cared for him thoughtfully and sensitively and with permission and encouragement from us even socialized him with other dogs and took him into situations that helped him learn more flexibility. He returned to us happy and confident.”
“I highly recommend Tigran. He was a great communicator before and during the sit. I can tell he gave my dogs lots of love and attention. :) I really appreciated his always quick responses and updates.”
“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.”
“Maddy is an excellent dog sitter. She provided detailed updates with thoughtful photos every day, and was very responsive in her communication. You can tell that she truly cares about animals and their wellbeing. Our dog had a great time staying with her, and we were so relieved that our dog was in safe hands. We highly recommend Maddy for pet care!”
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.
“If I could give Sarah TEN stars, I would. She's such a wonderful sitter who goes the extra mile to care for our senior dogs while we are away. I get updates/pictures every day and detailed notes about any concerns regarding my eldest dog's health. I truly can tell that Sarah loves our dogs just like her own, and will make safe, healthy choices for them no matter the situation.”
“Delane and her home are wonderful. She took great care of my chi-mix and provided a safe environment for my little one and other small dogs. I had full peace of mind during my trip and look forward to more visits to Delane.”
“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!”

“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Brian was great! Many photos were shared and Nelly was in AMAZING hands. Came home to also find the litter box cleaned which was a bonus. Greatly appreciate Brian’s attention to detail and giving Ms. Nelly some TLC while I was away ❤️”
“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!”
“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!”
“Lynn was by far the best cat sitter I have ever had on Rover. She’s super conscientious, helpful, communicative and my cat LOVED her! 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!”
“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.”
“Paige is amazing - she was so caring and playful with my kitty while I was gone and sent sweet photos and videos to help me know everything is well. My place looked fantastic when I got home. I find her an incredibly trustworthy person and fully recommend any of her services. Thank you, Paige!”
“Eva has been a fantastic cat sitter 10/10. She accommodated our needs for a visitor over the holidays, came by for a meet n greet ahead of time and sent great daily updates with photos and descriptions of her visits. We will definitely be hiring her again for future visits and would highly recommend her.”
About: Hi there! I am a complete animal lover whether it's cats or dogs.

“Gus LOVED his time here. He got to play all day and every picture looked like the happiest guy on the block! It was also evident how much he loved it when I picked him up.. he didn’t want to leave! The only time he does that is with his foster mom. I would trust them any other time as they clearly made a paradise for my boy. Also their dog is so sweet and clearly a happy pup who loves to play. Last, great communication throughout the day!! Thank you again, Jessica!”
“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!!”
“Jacky was amazing!!! She was very fast in responding, super friendly, and accommodated my two dogs (one of which can be dog selective). She truly went above and beyond taking care of them. Very lucky to have found her!! Thank you Jacky!!”
About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I can remember, and my favorite type of work/volunteering has always involved them. When I was 15 I started dog sitting for my family friend, I watched and walked little Johnny twice a week for almost 2 years while his mom was out doing errands. After that, I started volunteering at the LoveJoy Foundation, an animal rescue in California. I walked dogs, cleaned crates, and even helped with vaccinations once a week at adoption events! My time at LoveJoy was one of the most rewarding experiences ever, and it taught me how to work with different types of dogs and different behaviors, including neurodivergent and disabled pups. I have a family dog of my own, sweet Montana, who will always be my best friend no matter how far apart we are. Montana is a bit older now, so we mostly enjoy hanging out on the couch together, but in his prior years I loved taking him on hikes, to the dog beach, and really anywhere that I went. I also have a crested gecko named Axel! I’m currently a junior at CU Boulder, so I do have school during the week but only for about 2-3 hours each day, most of the time I’m home to care for a pup! I absolutely love being outside here in Boulder, it’s too beautiful not to be, so walks and adventures are plentiful! I have a large house for your pup to roam around, but if it’s preferred that he stays in a crate during the day I can accommodate that too! My yard isn’t fenced, but we would have a lot of outside time at the park and on walks exploring all corners of Boulder. I do have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, I know that some dogs are probably more comfortable staying in their own home!
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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 🌸🥹”
“We were visiting Boulder and took our dog with us and was lucky to find Liv. She always (proactively) sent photos of my baby and took him on walks and hikes and I can just see how excited and happy my baby was! Liv just had an aura that she loves dogs and that put me at ease to leave my baby with her, all day for 2 days. Thanks for taking care of my baby Liv.”
“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.”
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!
“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!”
“Celia and Mark were wonderful watching Bailey while we explored the Boulder area! They sent us picture updates with Bailey feeling relaxed in their home. They are definitely Star Sitters!”
“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!! 🐶🐾💖”
“Barbara was great with Dilla! Lot's of updates/photos to let us know Dilla was in good hands. She is an experienced and intuitive sitter and dog mom. Her dog Mel was good with Dilla, as well. Our dog came home happy. Thank you!”
About: Growing up with pets, I’ve always had a deep connection with animals. My background in energy healing helps me tune into each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. After a decade of not having my pets, I'm deeply deficient in animal cuddles - I make up for it by showering my furry clients with extra affection, belly rubs, and snuggles. Whether your pet needs a calming presence, senior care, or just an adventure buddy, I provide attentive, personalized care so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your fur family! I have a few recurring weekly meetings that I can join remotely, so I am available to housesit any time as long as there is steady internet. I am available to dog walk or make home visits in the afternoons. I can only provide care for pets in a client's home, as several elderly rescue dogs are living out their best lives at my home.

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.
About: I volunteered with the humane society for years when I was a teen, and have cared for a pet for most years of my adult life. I care for animals deeply and also have a prompt, dutiful work ethic. I am free from early morning until late afternoon to walk your furry friends! I'm a writer, so it's as important for me to get out of the house as it is your pet! I bathe my kitty in affection and get her the healthiest, best food and treats that I can find. We play when she feels like it, and snuggle all night long.
“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!”

“Mason was on time and great with Zak. He seemed very comfortable and adaptable with everything. He was charming and a good ambassador for Boulder. If we lived there we'd use him again without question.”
About: I have had both dogs and cats growing up. I love animals, am responsible, and understand the importance of getting your pets the care they need. I have done pet/animal care for my family as well as friends and neighbors. I am currently a full time engineering student at CU Boulder, but have my weekday afternoons free as well as flexible time on the weekends. I am looking to make pet sitting a priority and build long term relationships with pet care seeking families. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every pet like they're my own by providing a calm, clean, and secure environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I always follow your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special needs or routines. I keep pets supervised, use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, and make sure they always have fresh water and a safe space to relax. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
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.
“Kristen has seemed to develop a relationship of ease with my anxious dog. She was reliable, asked relevant questions, and generally took great care of my sweet boy. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Cassidy was amazing. She was so accommodating, helped us with a last minute situation which we’re super thankful for. She was very communicative, punctual, flexible, and my boy absolutely loved her and her dog Rex. She’s a keeper! Thank you sooo much Cassidy!”
“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 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.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and started helping care for pets when I was about 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their pets. I’ve grown up with a wide range of dog personalities — from high-energy breeds like Border Collies to more independent dogs like Basenjis, as well as smaller companion dogs like Chihuahuas. Because of that, I’m very comfortable adjusting my approach depending on the dog’s needs, energy level, and temperament. What sets me apart is that I’m attentive and intentional. I don’t just “check in” — I pay attention to behavior, mood, and routine so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient with anxious or shy dogs and love engaging more active dogs with walks and play. I’m also reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pet, and I take that seriously. I’m currently finishing up my last semester of grad school, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits. I’m available most weekdays in the afternoons and evenings, along with weekends. I’m reliable and consistent, and I’m happy to stick closely to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. focus on creating a safe, calm, and reliable experience in your home while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I’m very attentive to instructions, behavior, and environment, and I make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I respect your home, follow care instructions closely, and always prioritize safety on walks (leash awareness, surroundings, and your dog’s comfort level). I’m also communicative and will keep you updated with photos and quick check-ins so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

I’m available Tuesdays, Thursdays, and weekends, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other pet care needs. I’m organized and dependable, and I make sure pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine while still giving each pet the time and attention they deserve.

I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, secure, and well cared for while their owner is away.
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. I'm happy to work with you to find times that fit your schedule and your pet's needs! Whether you need drop-in visits or overnight petsitting, I'm happy to provide the type of care that works best for your pet. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, respect your home, and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I prioritize safety, communication, and getting to know each pet’s individual needs.
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 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. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.
About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!

“Ruby was with Sean and Kim for 16 days, which is the longest we have ever left her, and I can’t say enough good things about them. We got daily updates with photos. She went for walks every day and also got to hike her favorite trail with them numerous times. She loves her new doggy buddies, and based on the photos she clearly loves Sean. She came home healthy and tired, and we were able to enjoy our extended trip knowing that she was in such great hands. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
“Georgia is both professional and personable. She is a good communicator. She was flexible when we experienced unexpected delays on our trip. And she took great care of Mango.”
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.
“Amy was great to work with! She gave Dixie a lot of love and attention with lots of updates! You can tell she loves dogs and is attentive to details. Would definitely recommend and would leave my girl with her anytime!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Elise was wonderful! Our pup liked her immediately- she has a friendly, warm energy about her. She sent us updates and pics throughout the weekend. Elise is the kind of person you can trust will take great care of your baby :)”
“Della is a complete professional. I highly recommend her and would leave our dog with her again. She cared for him thoughtfully and sensitively and with permission and encouragement from us even socialized him with other dogs and took him into situations that helped him learn more flexibility. He returned to us happy and confident.”
“I highly recommend Tigran. He was a great communicator before and during the sit. I can tell he gave my dogs lots of love and attention. :) I really appreciated his always quick responses and updates.”
“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.”
“Maddy is an excellent dog sitter. She provided detailed updates with thoughtful photos every day, and was very responsive in her communication. You can tell that she truly cares about animals and their wellbeing. Our dog had a great time staying with her, and we were so relieved that our dog was in safe hands. We highly recommend Maddy for pet care!”
“If I could give Sarah TEN stars, I would. She's such a wonderful sitter who goes the extra mile to care for our senior dogs while we are away. I get updates/pictures every day and detailed notes about any concerns regarding my eldest dog's health. I truly can tell that Sarah loves our dogs just like her own, and will make safe, healthy choices for them no matter the situation.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“If Ruby could talk, I know she would tell me she had the BEST time with Barbara and Mel. From coordinating drop off times, to regular communication and picture updates, Barbara kept me in the loop with how my girl was settling in. I appreciated her responsiveness and thoughtfulness around caring for the special needs of a vizsla. Mel is very well trained, enthusiastic and super generous to share her space with Ruby. I hope Ruby can stay with them in the future!”
