“By all accounts Maple had a great time with Fred! I enjoyed the pictures and could tell she was in a dog lovers home! Peace of mind, while out of town, is priceless.”
“My pup always loves his time with Misty, she is very attentive and provides great updates. Her family and pups are great friends with my dog and they get along great.

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.

“Jennifer did such a fabulous job caring for my two cats while we were away! They have radically different personalities and energy levels and Jennifer did such a wonderful job meeting their individual needs and making sure they got all the attention and play they needed. She also took the most beautiful photos of our guys. I always get nervous when we have to leave them alone but her promptness, relaxed personality, and attention to detail really put us at ease. I would definitely recommend Jennifer!”
“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.”
About: I love cats! Truly. I rescued my first cat when I was eight, and she was living outside and only trusted me. She just passed away this past year unfortunately. My family also rescued our second cat, Max, from a local animal shelter. As a kid I loved going to the animal shelter to take care of the cats, and I’ve also pet sat multiple cats in my neighborhood.
About: I grew up caring for two dogs and two cats in my family home. I am experienced with daily feedings, playtime, exercise, and regular walking routines for both dogs and cats. I communicate reliably and keep owners updated with clear messages and photos after every single visit. I have structured afternoons and evenings available throughout the week and open availability on weekends. Because my schedule is consistent, I can arrive on time for scheduled drop-in visits, walks, and feedings without disruptions. I focus exclusively on drop-in visits and walks at the client's home. I ensure doors and gates remain latched, follow all feeding and leash instructions to the letter, and leave your home exactly as clean as I found it.
About: I have two cats of my own and would love to get to know yours! I’ve also cared for many cats over the years, each with their own personality and quirks. As a shelter volunteer, I’ve taken multiple classes on cat body language, which helps me better understand each cat’s unique communication style and make them feel comfortable and safe in my care.
“Nina does a great job of staying with and looking after our cat and an equally great job of staying in touch with us while we’re gone. She even successfully gave our cat a pill, a one-person job we haven’t accomplished. We’ve had her cat-sit before and we will ask her again!”
“Lali is amazing and incredible at what she does. My super shy shelter cat warmed up to her right away and definitely missed her after. Lali is also extremely communicative, thorough, and reliable. We felt like our cat was in great hands and would definitely book her again!”
“Christopher was such a great sitter for my cat! He was thoughtful, prompt, and caring. Christopher was super flexible with our needs as well. I will be booking Christopher again in the future.”
“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!”
“My 2 kitties usually need time to warm up to a new sitter, but they took to Caroline right away. We appreciated her photos and updates and felt confident that our kitties were in good hands.”
About: I’m newer to cat care but have really come to enjoy it and would love to get the opportunity to spend time with your's. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or just wants their food and space, I am patient and easygoing and will make sure your cat feels safe and well taken care of while you are away.

My dog, Nellie, can be pretty sensitive, and Stephanie was so patient and caring with her. It’s clear she has a natural way with dogs and creates an environment where they feel safe and comfortable.

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!
“Our dog, Scoobi, had the best stay with Sarah!! We were really nervous to be leaving him for the first time but Sarah eased all of our worries right from the get-go. We received daily updates and pictures from Sarah during both Scoobi's boarding stay and while he was there for daycare. Sarah was even kind enough to take Scoobi in last minute for daycare so that he didn't have to be alone in our house! I would highly recommend that you leave your dogs with Sarah! Scoobi was so excited to go back and play! We will for sure be booking with her again the next time we need to find Scoobi coverage.”
“Caroline B. was absolutely wonderful to our pup. She took her for 3 walks and was very communicative, including multiple pictures and various updates during the duration of the day. We would definitely recommend Caroline B. and will use her again during future travels.”
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!
“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: I don’t own any pets at the moment, even though I’d love to, but I grew up with both dogs and cats at my family’s home back in Ecuador. I started taking care of my family and friend’s pets when I became an adult. They trusted me to bathe, feed and walk them because I’ve always been pretty loving and responsible with animals. I’m currently working part-time and my schedule is pretty flexible. I will be open to take care of your pets for most mornings and some afternoons. I live in a townhome and have a small fenced patio with easy access to trails and parks, which makes it easy to play and go on walks. I’m a responsible and patient person and will ask questions to make sure that your pet gets all the care and love needed. I will stay in touch and can send pictures to keep you updated.
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and frequently take care of pets in my hometown, I recently moved to Boulder for school and have plenty of time and energy to care for pets here :) I’m a student at CU boulder but I have a very light schedule this year so I’m only in class for about 3 hours a day, I will happily spend the rest of my day with an animal :) I have no other pets and i am right Nextdoor to a fenced in dog run, my apartment complex is very pet friendly and everyone that I’ve met here is very respectful of other dogs.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and truly understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. For the past six years, I’ve been a dedicated cat owner, and I also share a calm, friendly dog with my partner who gets along well with other animals and people. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of different personalities and energy levels, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, I focus on providing reliable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. We would love to have another walking, hiking or running, buddy! I’m in between jobs right now, so I have a lot of availability during the week to dedicate to pet care. This allows me to be present, flexible, and attentive to each pet’s routine, whether that’s walks, exercise, or companionship. My home is a safe, reliable space for pets, with a fenced-in backyard where dogs can roam and relax. There’s plenty of room to keep dogs and cats comfortably separated unless they choose to interact. I’m also happy to provide care in your home if that’s what your pet prefers.

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 have 2 dogs currently, one BIG dog and a smaller dog. I love dogs and cats and I’ve owned many various pets growing up. I’ve owned 2 cats, both adopted older (🕊️🕊️). I always pet sat for my neighbors growing up, and I truly love it! Im currently a college student, but l have a pretty open MWF and weekends. My Tuesdays and Thursdays are busier but I can fit stuff in during later times. I make sure that pets are happy and cared for, eating and playing normally. I make sure I'm always watching and ensuring there's nothing around that could cause trouble.
“Jennifer has been my sitter for over a year now. Recently I added a black lab for her to watch as well. Thought the visit she was extremely communicative with both pets as to their needs and how they were doing.”

“Moose loved his long walk and I’m impressed by how much ground you two covered. I gotta step up my game. I’m super grateful that Nora was available to take him out mid day.”
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: 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.
