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 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!”
“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!”
“Brittany was a fantastic sitter!! My dog had the best time playing with her pup. He slept so well after all the play time. She sent frequent updates and I totally trusted her with Beau. Would definitely recommend her and use her again! Thanks Brittany”
“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.”
“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!”
“Our dog Mika had a great time with Jan and Patrick. They're wonderful and caring dog people. We enjoyed seeing daily photo updates, and felt like Mika was in good hands. She came back happy and energized :)”
“Sarah was incredible at taking care of our high energy puppy. Luna had the best time playing outside and with other dogs that were around! We look forward to using her again in the future”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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 :)”
“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!”
“First time using the Rover app. It was a great experience and I’ll definitely book with Jed again! Finn had so much fun and that gave me so much peace of mind! Well taken care of and happy pup!!”
“I never worry when Sully stays with Matt, I get constant updates and photos! When we arrived sully was so excited and happy to be back and hang with Nugget. Will continue to use Matt as our sitter!”

“Kim was wonderful! Very attentive and eager to learn our kitty’s habits and needs. She even sent a picture of our kitty who usually hides whenever someone new comes over. Great communicator and she left our house very clean and neat. Highly recommend Kim!”
“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”
“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!”
“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! 😊”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I've always loved animals when I was little, most of my life I mostly had dogs until I took care of my first cat, Tiger. Now with my degree in Evolutionary Biology and my current status as a volunteer at Denver Zoo, plus my experience with tiger I'll make sure to apply the same skills I apply from my studies, zoo volunteering, and personal experience to make sure your cat feels safe, stimulated and comfortable.
“Our kitties loved their time with Caroline again! We are so appreciative that she was able to watch them on crazy short notice. She also takes great photos to go with updates : )”
“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: I’ve always been an animal whisperer in general, but cats have been even more direct than dogs in letting me know that they feel comfortable around me. I’ve had so many experiences where someone has warned me before I’ve visited their home for the first time that they have a cat who’s shy, standoffish, mean, uncomfortable being touched, or “evil” (no such thing) only for that cat to immediately trot right up to me then start rubbing against my legs and looking up at me expectantly until I start loving on them. I think a lot of people who haven’t lived with cats don’t realize that body language and tone of voice matter a lot more to cats than they do to most dogs, and more importantly, that cats require that you respect their physical boundaries and their consent in general. A cat’s love and affection require more than just feeding them regularly. Cats are people just like we are, and if a cat decides you’re safe and that you’re deserving of its love, you know that you earned it. I have two cats of my own, Lucy and Angel. Angel just turned 4 and Lucy will be 5 in August. Lucy is a cowcat and one of the shyest, most skittish kitties I’ve ever known, but you’d never guess it if you only saw her around me (I thought she was a bold extrovert when I met her at the humane society as a kitten because of how she started yowling and banging against the kennel door to get my attention as soon as I entered the room). Angel is a mischievous black tabby who apparently didn’t get the memo that cats are supposed to be quieter than dogs. They’re both each other’s best friends and my own. I have a little bit of personal experience with administering medication and spending time around old/sick cats. Angel was very sick when I first adopted him as a kitten and required eye and ear medication 4-5 times a day, and I learned to administer shots and check blood sugar when my late cat Ace developed genetic diabetes. I am willing to discuss medications/individual health needs if that applies to your cat(s).
“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.”
About: While I don’t have cat as a pet, every family member does! I am Very familiar with the care that goes along with your feline friend; from feeding, cleaning litter and playing with string toys.
“Juliana was a great sitter! I'll definitely have her watch my two cats again. My cats have very different personalities but both of them loved her after a week of drop ins. One of them even laid on her chest when she has only ever laid on my chest. I came home from my trip to two happy cats.”
“Rikku was great! He got to know our cat Boots quickly and boots warmed right up to him. When we got home boots seemed happy and comfortable. Would recommend Rikku!”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“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!”
“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!”
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!
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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!?”
“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.”
“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!”
“Benny had an AMAZING time at Jessica's! Loved getting the video and pictures of him having the zoomies and playing in the pool. Jessica was easy to communicate with and 100% will be using her services again.”
“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!! 🐶🐾💖”
“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!!”
“Anthony and Brody were the best hosts for Ruthie! She played all day, enjoyed her walk, slobbered all over Brody and wore herself out completely. We really appreciate having such a great play date friend for our (sometimes) shy girl! Thanks, Anthony and Brody, we’ll see you again soon!”
“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!”
“Benny really enjoyed his time at Ashley and Jeremy’s. Between Benny being a puppy and never used Rover before I appreciated how communicative Ashley was that 1st day. Will definitely use them again!”
“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 🌸🥹”

“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!”
“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'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.
“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.”
“Lindsay has been wonderful with our pup, Hudson! She took the time to get to know Hudson before beginning his regular walks, which gave us great peace of mind and made the transition seamless. Hudson has a lot of energy and Lindsay does an excellent job ensuring he gets the exercise and activity he needs. She is also highly responsive, organized and proactive with scheduling, which we greatly appreciate. We’ve had a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Lindsay to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and professional dog walker”
“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!”
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!
About: I’ve cared for pets for friends, neighbors, and family, including dogs, cats, and reptiles. I genuinely love being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I have experience with dog walking, feeding, playtime, and basic care routines, and I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or house sitting depending on your needs. I also have a cat of my own and grew up with an English lab who lived to 14, so I understand the level of care, attention, and patience pets deserve. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pets like my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I can adjust to your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, care, and consistency they’re used to while you’re away. I prioritize making pets feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. When house sitting or doing drop-ins, I follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m very attentive and respectful of your home, and I’ll always keep you updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“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 am currently studying physiology to go into animal rehabilitation at CU Boulder. I spent the last year working in a dog kennel/boarding facility and have experience with large dogs, multiple dogs at the same time, and administering meds. As well as growing up with dogs I am still the biggest dog lover and would love to care for some pups :). I split my time between Boulder and Golden. I am a student with a very open schedule, such as availability in the morning, afternoons and at night. I do have a part-time job, I regularly work weekends for a few hours at a time. I always ensure enough play time/socializing if they’re home alone the rest of the time. If the owners are comfortable I love to take the dogs out for a hike or a run. I am comfortable with getting dogs in a crate or car as well as working with reactive dogs.
“We accidentally gave Chloe the wrong address, which we know was a huge inconvenience. Despite the mix-up, she was incredibly gracious, didn't give up, and made sure our dog got a great walk. We are so grateful for how she handled it, and tofu was so happy and healthy when we got home. Chloe is trustworthy, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have taken care of tons of family/friends pets as well! I would love to help out with yours too! I only work part time so I have plenty of availability and time for drop ins, feedings, and long walks. I have a very flexible schedule! I have an eight year old Border Collie who loves going to the park and chasing her frisbee. She’s very active and that’s a huge part of our every day routine.

“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!”

“We are from WI and went to Denver for a wedding. Jamie is a very personable sitter. The dogs were very happy to see us obviously but I think they really enjoyed their stay. Jamie has a beautiful yard that is fenced in with lots of trees for shade and grass for comfort. She explained her history with dog sitting and genuinely seemed to enjoy the dogs. I wld definitely take the dogs back to her if we need a multi day stay in the future. Wld highly recommend.”
“Heather originally was just going to watch Lucky for one week, but we had a family emergency last minute and she was able to watch her for 2.5 weeks at the last minute. It was such a huge help to us. Lucky seemed to have a great time! Heather was so friendly and kept us updated!”
“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.”
