“Gorgeous yard with plenty of space to run. Noodle had a great time and came home very tired. Sarah was quick to communicate, and I felt very comfortable with Noodle in her care. I hope to book Sarah again for our next trip!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Delane when she cared for Monet for three days. From the very beginning, during our meet and greet, we genuinely enjoyed our conversation with her. Delane is such a lovely and thoughtful person, and clearly experienced with dogs. Her dog, Lucy, is absolutely sweet and gentle, and Monet and Lucy got along very well. Delane’s home is warm and welcoming, and Monet settled in right away. She kept us updated throughout Monet’s stay, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that Monet was not only well cared for, but also comfortable. We would happily book with Delane again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, warm, and dependable caregiver. Thank you, Delane!!”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”

Karla is a pro and took the excellent care of our dog. We got regular updates that let me know he was having a great time. Karla is a wonderful choice for taking care of your fury family member.”

“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.

“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!”

“Rachael was so great with my senior pup! She administered his medicine on time daily, and listened to his needs regarding exercise in the heat. Her dog Tiger got along great with my dog, even though Dutch kept trying to take over all of the sleeping places. Rachael was super communicative, she sent lots of pictures, and demonstrated that she had taken the time to read thru and understand all of my pup’s care instructions. I would trust Rachael to watch Dutch again!”
“As always, Della is an absolute pleasure to work with! Our pup loves her best life at Della’s and we are so grateful for Della’s flexibility and care!”

About: As an experienced educator and animal lover, I provide thoughtful, trustworthy care and joyfully long sniffy walks for your best friend. I am also a devoted rescue dog mama! My dog, Patti, has taught me so much about building trust, reading canine body language, and helping anxious dogs feel safe and confident. Through caring for her, I’ve gained experience with positive reinforcement, maintaining routines, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and adventurous, or shy and slow to warm up, I’ll make sure they feel cared for, respected, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your baby! I’m currently fun-employed! I am taking some time off from teaching for the summer to spend time outdoors- caring for the land and animals. I am pursuing the art of the gleeful frolic! That is to say, my schedule is open and flexible :) I live in a ground floor apartment with a private fenced in patio and immediate access to a shared, unfenced yard. I live steps away from a pond and park where my dog loves to sniff, bound, and chase squirrels to no end. Patti and I hike Boulder trails together often and I know how she would love a companion! I am well-versed in following care instructions and am serious about respecting your dog’s health and safety plan to ensure everyone is happy, comfortable, and unharmed.
“Jennifer was awesome with my cat! She was very timely, gave very detailed notes every visit, and sent tons of pictures and updates. 100% recommend booking with her, she is great!”
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.
“Shelby was so on top of everything and made me feel so confident leaving town knowing they would be in fantastic care! She also was highly responsive and made sure to send cute pictures and videos every visit, I will absolutely be booking with Shelby again!”
About: I have had cats as part of my family all my life, but became heavily invested in cat nutrition and behavioral needs in the last 6 years. I have worked with cat shelters previously and have 3 cats of my own.
“Lizz took excellent care of our cat Lavinia when we were out of town for a long weekend! Super communicative and easy to work with, and we came home to a happy cat. Would book again :)”
“Nina is an excellent cat sitter. She is experienced with animals and loves to be with them. She has a gentle, thoughtful presence with animals and had good attention to detail. She was willing to do a couple of other small but very helpful tasks. She always sent photos and a little report each day she went. We will certainly ask Nina for help with cat sitting again.”
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.
“Vale was an amazing sitter for our three cats. She was incredibly attentive and caring, giving us comprehensive updates on the cats each day. I would highly highly highly recommend her as she is clearly so compassionate with pets. I will definitely be rebooking again for my next trip!”
About: I’ve had hands on experience caring for animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with both dogs and cats, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and general care. I’ve also helped care for chickens for a couple of years, which gave me additional experience with maintaining consistent schedules and attention to detail. Over the years, I’ve regularly helped friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. Whether that’s walking dogs, checking in on them while owners are away, or making sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I’m confident handling different energy levels and personalities, from more relaxed pets to those that need extra activity and engagement. I always prioritize safety, follow owner instructions closely, and make sure pets stay on their normal routines, including proper feeding (no people food unless specifically approved). My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. My schedule is very flexible right now, and I’m available most days throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. With a lighter work schedule during the off-season from skiing, I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and consistency they need. I enjoy staying active, so I’m always happy to take dogs out for walks, longer outings, or just spend quality time with them during the day. I’m also available for last-minute bookings and can adapt to your pet’s routine. I’m looking forward to spending my days with some furry companions and making sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I prioritize safety, consistency, and making pets feel comfortable in their environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any specific rules you have in place. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks and outdoor time. I’m respectful of your home and aim to keep everything clean and just as you left it. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and doing well. If caring for pets in my home, I make sure the environment is clean, calm, and pet-safe, with plenty of space for them to relax. I supervise interactions, stick to your pet’s routine, and ensure they get the right balance of activity, rest, and attention. Above all, I treat every pet like my own while maintaining the structure and boundaries that keep them safe and healthy.
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).
“Olivia was excellent! She was available on short notice, was super communicative and sent regular updates. I would highly recommend Olivia for any of your pet needs.”

“Alison did an incredible job caring for Ari and making sure she had the best day with new dog friends! Ari had previous less than ideal experiences at doggy daycare, so we are so grateful to Alison for helping us rewrite that narrative for Ari.”

“I appreciate having Sara so much to watch my border collie. He loves the socializing & gets so excited to see Sara every time! She’s great at communicating & sends a photo each day too.”
About: Hello! I’m a retired Special Education teacher. My passion is dogs and the care and training of dogs. When your furr baby is staying with me, she or he is my priority. I am patient, caring and truly want your furr baby to have a safe, engaging and fun time while in my care. I’d love to take your furr baby for walks and/ or give cuddles; as desired. I first became available on Rover in 2017, first working in California and now in Colorado. I work full-time at home and will give your sweet furr baby all the time, care and exercise he or she needs. I’m currently at home full-time. I have plenty of time for your furr baby Please schedule pickup & drop-off times between 7am - 9:30pm. Thank you. I have two dogs and two cats. One dog is a friendly, small-sized older dog. He is calm and will engage with your furr baby as much as they want. I also have a large breed female dog. She is sweet, curious and well-behaved. I have four available crates if you use crating. The cats have separate areas and mostly stay in their own room during dog boarding.
“Anna is always really attuned to what our dog needs - I appreciate her regular communication and flexibility as well. Highly recommend! We continue to use her regularly for our low energy but higher needs dog.”

About: I am a work from home professional with a 2 year old mini Bernadoodle. I recently had to say goodbye to our senior dog and am looking forward to sharing our large backyard and cute pup with some new furry friends. I work from home with a flexible schedule. Your pup will feel safe and comfortable with easy access to the backyard and mid-day walks. We have a cute, fun 2 year old mini Bernadoodle who loves to play and nap during the day. There is a dog door to a large fenced in backyard.

Rui was very communicative throughout the stay, sending pictures and a report card of their day together. It is a relief to know that I can trust them to meet the special needs of my dog. I recommend them and will be using their services again myself too!”
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.
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: You know when you’re out in public and your dog unexpectedly rushes straight over to say hi to a random (specific) person then needs to be physically pulled away even after they got the attention they wanted? For some reason, I’ve always been that random but specific person. Sometimes it feels like dogs suddenly materialize in front of me or like their “hello” is really more of a “it’s about time you got here!” Dogs (and cats, for that matter) also tend to insist on cuddling up next to me instead of their usual pick when I visit their homes (and I’m certainly not complaining). I currently only have cats, but I grew up with three dogs (a chocolate lab, a miniature schnauzer, and a Pomeranian) and have learned how to love both in the ways they want me to love them. What I love most about dogs is how pure they are. We all appreciate their undying loyalty, of course, but the sweet, unconditionally caring emotional presence that dogs carry themselves with is one of the things that makes life worth living. I consider non-human animals to be people too, and dogs are definitely among the best non-human animals. I would be just as excited as your dog(s) would be to make a new friend! My availability is flexible in general but particularly in terms of the time of day. I have a circadian rhythm difference that makes my sleep “schedule” change throughout each week, so if I’m given sufficient notice (48 hours), I’m easily able to modify my waking hours if your pet has time-sensitive needs. As mentioned in my bios, animals seem to naturally see me as a Disney princess. However, even though I’m very confident that I’ll get along with your pet(s) without any issues, their friendship is theirs to give, not mine to demand. Their needs are my top priority (and would be even if I weren’t petsitting); I recognize that some animals need lots of time and space to truly feel safe, and giving them that time and space is the only way to create a mutually comforting environment. Even if your dog/cat actually is insatiably social and unfailingly affectionate, I want to be sure that I get an idea of any individual boundaries or strong preferences beforehand so that I’m able to treat them with the same respect and care that I would a human person. As far as dogs and cats that want lots of love and affection, I am happy to give and share it! My cats sleep with me most nights and I often have one on my lap or next to my leg throughout a given day. Either way, I’ll follow your pet’s lead.
“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.”

“Alyson is incredible! I loved that she did a meet and greet before the first walk. She asked great questions and learned about our two girls. We felt very comfortable knowing she would be checking in on them while we are out for the day. Would highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I recently received my master’s degree from CU Boulder. As I search for a full-time position, I have a flexible schedule and would love to spend some time helping care for your pets. My main goal of being on Rover is to gain experience with dogs so that I can be prepared to adopt my own someday! To help me gain confidence and comfortability for achieving that goal, I would work best with smaller size dogs. I’m also happy to spend time with older dogs that may just want some companionship, attention, and a calm presence while their owners are away. While I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve helped care for friends’ dogs over the years. I’m dependable, organized, and flexible with scheduling. I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I’m currently job searching, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time throughout the day and week for pet care. We can work something out and I will adjust my schedule as needed. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to follow the owner’s routine and instructions as closely as possible so their pet feels comfortable and cared for. I’m very mindful and respectful of household rules, including where I’m allowed in the home, feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific care instructions. I also make sure pets get attention, playtime, and companionship during my visit.
“There are people who simply provide a service, and then there are people who become an indispensable part of your life. Ariel is firmly in the latter category. She became a trusted partner during a particularly difficult chapter while I was recovering from major surgery. Knowing that Milo was in her care brought a level of reassurance that is hard to overstate. Aerial is dependability personified, always on time, often to the minute, with clear, prompt communication and remarkable flexibility whenever last-minute changes arose. Not once did those adjustments come with the slightest hint of frustration or attitude. She simply found a way to make things work. What truly sets her apart, however, is her relationship with dogs. She genuinely loves Milo, and it’s obvious he feels the same. She has the rare combination of warmth, confidence, and deep experience that allows her to take charge naturally. Her calm, capable presence inspires trust, and you immediately know your dog is in exceptionally good hands. My gratitude for Ariel goes far beyond dog walking. She provided peace of mind when I needed it most, and for that I will always be thankful. I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection. Absolute Gem!!”
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.
“Olivia was great. I needed someone last minute and she really helped me out twice in a day. She was communicative and punctual. Sent photos and updates too. Will use her again. Thank you.”
About: With a background in behavioral health and outdoor leadership, I bring a calm, dependable, and thoughtful approach to pet care. I’m experienced with active and anxious dogs alike and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality, routines, and needs. Safety, communication, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for are always my priorities. I am currently working as a part-time therapist, so in between seeing clients I have the flexibility to care for your animals. I love to be outside so getting them out for walks or throwing the ball for them is something I really enjoy. I’m organized, communicative, and attentive to routines, which helps pets feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I provide pet care in the client’s home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow each owner’s specific instructions closely regarding feeding, walks, play, and any behavioral needs. I prioritize safety, consistency, and respect for both the pets and the home. I also make sure to keep things clean and organized, including litter boxes, food areas, and any pet-related messes. While I’m there, I focus on giving pets calm, attentive care and regular companionship so they feel secure while their owner is away. I’m happy to provide updates as often as the owner prefers, including photos and notes about how things are going.
“Sam is the best!! I have a timid dog who is wary of strangers, and he really put in the work to gain her trust. I feel 100% comfortable knowing that she’s in good hands on their walks, and she even pulls to go see him when we run into each other in public :)”
About: Hi there! I am a firm believer in treating pets like family and showing them nothing but love. My pets can do no wrong in my eyes and I know what it’s like to worry about them when I’m away from home. I am an attentive and caring and have loved having pets my entire life in addition to a few years experience petsitting dogs and cats back in California and Oregon. I also spent time caregiving for the elderly and looking after their pets was a big part of the job. I am open to caring for any type of animal! I am currently a full time student with availability weekday mornings before 9am and afternoons usually after 3:00pm. I can be available anytime throughout the night and full availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I have one sweet older cat living with me in my one bedroom apartment and she’s just a joy to have around. Due to her timid nature, I am unable to bring other pets into my own home for pet sitting but I offer any other service for your pet such as walking, feeding, playing, giving medicine, you name it :)
About: I have a one bedroom apartment downtown Salt Lake City with easy access to many trails in the avenues, and a Millcreek pass! I’m very clean, my dog Fred is a seven-year-old blind Australian cattle dog, who loves a good hike and sleeps in bed with me, so your pup can, too! I understand all areas of pet ownership, especially the needs of dogs living with disabilities and medical conditions. I will maintain any schedules you have, and will make sure your dog gets extra love during your time apart. I work virtually, so the opportunity for midday walks, and adventures after work are available. I like to stay as active as possible, and my dog and I are often out hiking or playing with other dogs. I also love a lazy day where I can snuggle up with the pups and enjoy a movie. It’s my goal to get another dog at some point, and I would be happy to watch your loved one while you are away. I live in an apartment with a nice size patio. Lots of natural light and fresh air. There is room for crates if your pup is crate trained. All pups are welcome on couches and beds. I also have large dog bed for naps, and many toys for the pups to play with. Walks around town will always be on leash, and I’m usually out on a trail once a day with my own pup.
About: I love to care for animals! I have experience working with senior animals, animals in training, caring for wounds, and administering medications. I love to share daily photo, video and thorough updates while you’re away. I ensure prompt and clear communication. I can also care for your house plants! I am a CU Boulder Psychology student working towards a career in clinical mental health. I am at school 4-6 hours a day - this allows me to dedicate more quality time to caring for your pets compared to those with full-time schedules. I will begin back at CU Boulder late August. I am very clean on a personal level and always leave homes as good or better than when I arrive. I am well versed with different kitchen equipment especially sensitive kitchenware like easily scratched pans. I have been complimented on my knowledge of house care. I also keep an eye on your pet’s behavior: like if they’re acting off or having different bathroom habit. I’m happy to handle any clear requests you have.
“Alysse was great with my pup and super responsive to messages. I loved reading his daily notes and seeing his pictures from his walks. I always felt that my dog was safe and happy. 10/10 recommend”
About: I am active, outdoorsy, and I will make your dog the center of my universe for as long as you need. I was raised around dogs, cats, and many random smaller pets, so I can handle just about anything. I frequently go on hikes and trail runs, and love to bring dogs with me. I’m currently unemployed and taking a break from classes, so I have near infinite free time this summer and can be there for your pet whenever you need. I live in a 4 bedroom apartment, but I live alone now so there is quite a lot of room. Given my overwhelming amount of free time I will treat your pet with the constant attention they crave.
“Nina was amazing with my dog Becky and went out of her way to accommodate my last minute request including coordinating the transfer from the previous rover sitter who was only available until a certain date. I would highly recommend Nina for all your pet sitting needs and would will request her again for piece of mind while I am away from home.”
“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.”
“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”

“Gorgeous yard with plenty of space to run. Noodle had a great time and came home very tired. Sarah was quick to communicate, and I felt very comfortable with Noodle in her care. I hope to book Sarah again for our next trip!”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
“Karla is the best! Our dog stayed with her for two weeks. It was the first time we had someone watch him who wasn't family or friends. We immediately he was in the best caring hands. Karla is a pro and took the excellent care of our dog. We got regular updates that let me know he was having a great time. Karla is a wonderful choice for taking care of your fury family member.”
“My dog had a great time with Madeline. Madeline took her for lots of walks, and she handled my dog's anxiety/reactivity wonderfully. Will definitely be booking her again!”

“Meghan and Hakon are amazing and loved on our pups so much! It was Kinzie’s first stay away and they made her feel so at ease and comfortable in their home. Lincoln is a pro and had a blast. We got plenty of updates and photos and knew our dogs were in great hands. Lincoln and Kinzie look forward to their next stay!”
“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!”
About: I will take care of your companion in a home away from home, with a loving family environment in a whole house and fenced yard. Walk 3mins to open space where many other dogs go.

I have a fenced back yard, with one small very friendly dog at home. Your companion will be a cared for and any sensitivities will be accomodated in a safe environment.
“Rachael was so great with my senior pup! She administered his medicine on time daily, and listened to his needs regarding exercise in the heat. Her dog Tiger got along great with my dog, even though Dutch kept trying to take over all of the sleeping places. Rachael was super communicative, she sent lots of pictures, and demonstrated that she had taken the time to read thru and understand all of my pup’s care instructions. I would trust Rachael to watch Dutch again!”
“As always, Della is an absolute pleasure to work with! Our pup loves her best life at Della’s and we are so grateful for Della’s flexibility and care!”
“The most caring, attentive, communicative and easy going sitter I've ever had. She sent photos, status updates and when Zaya wouldn't eat (because she was so nervous to be away from home), she asked about ways to entice her to eat and successfully got her to gobble up her meals. And when my plans changed last minute, she was able to accommodate us for an extra night without any issues. Very grateful to have found a dedicated sitter I can trust so much 🥰”
“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.”
“This is our second time using Kim and we just love her so much! She goes above and beyond taking care of our dog Gypsy and sends daily updates and photos. I know Gypsy has a wonderful time there and comes a very happy and content pup.”
“Maria was the BEST! They truly understand what it’s like to have a “fur baby” and took such great care of our sweet Dakota! They sent the best photos & updates, we are so grateful. We look forward to booking with Maria again!”
“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! :)”
“Alison took amazing care of our 8 year old collie Bailey! She sent us adorable photos of him, having fun, every day during the week he stayed with her. I can’t imagine a better person to take care of Bailey!”
“Elise was just incredible! She took amazing care of my pup and I will absolutely be returning in the future. I especially appreciated the flexibility and understanding for my extenuating circumstances ❤️. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
