“We can't say enough good things about Max's stay with Heather! We were gone for two weeks overseas and Heather gave us peace of mind knowing Max was doing well in her care. With updates and pictures, we could see Max thriving especially with her cat, which he hadn't really been around before. They were actually quite funny together. We will use Heather again.”
“Clint always takes great care of Colt. Colt is excited and happy when we arrive at Clint’s house. I highly recommend him for quality care and excellent communication.”
“This was my first occasion to board my dogs my dogs with anyone while I went on vacation. I spent a great deal of time researching to make certain that they were in the best place. I do believe that I got lucky. Megan and Aaron are two of the nicest people I’ve ever met under any circumstance, and they have the same love of dogs that I have. They sent pictures while I was on vacation of the dogs enjoying themselves, and I think that they had a better time with Megan and Aaron than they do with me. Scrappy came in and could barely speak to me!😳I think he wanted to stay with his sitters! Bottom line - I don’t think there are any sitters out there better than Megan and Aaron, and if my dogs could talk, I think that they would tell you the same thing. Thank you so much for all that you did with my pooches. If I go out of town again, I will be sure to book them with these two special people!”

“Riggy had so much fun at Stephanie’s! She sent us pictures every day of him playing with the other pups. When our flight was cancelled, Stephanie was extremely accommodating and had no problem watching Riggy another night. We really appreciated her flexibility!”

“Katherine was the absolute best pet sitter! Being new to Colorado, my family had no one to watch our furbabies while we were away for a two-week vacation. We had never used a sitting service before and I can safely say we will be booking Katherine again for future vacations! She was responsive, caring, and thorough. Our kitties warmed right up to her and we got the cutest pictures while away. Katherine also made sure our cameras stayed positioned properly so we could check on them between visits (because you know they became a toy). I didn’t have to stress while we were away and meeting her beforehand to ensure she was a good fit solidified the confidence.”
“This was our first time using Rover and boy do we feel lucky to have matched with Stephanie! The house, plants, and kitty were all well taken care of. It’s one of the first times we were actually able to fully relax on vacation. We will definitely be re-booking with Stephanie again soon!”
“Thanks to Coral for keeping watch over ChuChu while we were out of town. Even throughout largest snowstorm, she made it every day to feed and pet and care for ChuChu!”
“Ashley did an amazing job looking after my cat and feeding my beta fish, she leaves lots of pictures and gives Hollie lots of pets. I will definitely use Ashley again in the future.”
“Heather was awesome! She sent pictures and let me know how he was and it just eased my mind. He was in good spirits when I picked him up and even let her finally pet him. Will definitely be booking again next time I go out of town.”
“Thank you, Sydney, for taking great care of our cats and rabbit while we were gone. We felt at ease knowing you stopped in on them and kept us updated along the way! Thank you, also, for calmly manage some hiccups in our home while we were away.”
“We love Lindsay and couldn’t recommend her enough. My cat got sick including throwing up multiple times. She would send pictures and helped make me feel comfortable that she would be okay till I got back.”
“Esmeralda stepped in at last minute’s notice to take care of my cats. Not only was her willingness to take my last minute job deeply appreciated, she went above and beyond in her service. She cleaned up any messes the cats made, watered the plants in the apartment, and sent great photos of the cats every day. They clearly loved visiting with her, which was evident in all of her photos! I would recommend Esmeralda to anybody.”
“Incredible cat care! I could not have asked for a better sitter. I was nervous to leave my cats home while I went away, but Nikki sent many photos and really showed that she was interacting/playing with my cats, which was super important to me. My cats warmed up to her in no time, even the shy one! I would book again in a heartbeat”

We will certainly call on them again, should our calendar require it. I would definitely recommend them. Your dog will have a great time and come home smiling.”
About: I can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have kittens, cats, puppies, or dogs. I grew up caring for our family's animals. Anytime a friend or family member needs a pet helper, I am the one they reach out to. My daughter, who is 17, also couldn’t be more in love with animals of all types. I have an incredibly flexible schedule working from home and would love to snuggle and care for your little one when you are in need. I have a small pomeranian-shitzu and a cat (who likes to hide and keep to himself when strangers are over). Your pet will be loved and cared for in the exact way you request. I am able to kennel or not. Walks, playtime, feeding schedules - let me know what your pet needs so I can be the best step-in momma while you are away.
“Sean is amazing! I've not had any luck with my tripod husky but he is truly a dog whisperer with a kind and gentle heart. He's very communicative and professional and has some great dogs of his own that will make yours feel at home!”
About: At 27 years old, I've had experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from rambunctious puppies who need lots of patience and playtime, to energetic large breeds, to sweet senior dogs who require a little extra care and comfort. I know that every dog is unique, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or simply wants a cozy companion to relax with, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'd love the opportunity to provide them with a safe, fun, and caring experience. I can't wait to meet you and your pup! Meet and Greets before booking a service are welcome! ☺️ As a flight attendant, my schedule varies from week to week, but I often have multiple consecutive days off that allow me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I keep my Rover calendar updated so you'll always see my current availability. When I commit to a booking, you can count on me to provide dependable care, regular updates, and lots of attention for your pet. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn about each dog's routine, personality, preferences, and any medical or behavioral needs before their stay. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special care requirements.
About: Hi, I'm Nikki P, and I'm here to provide your beloved pet with the highest standard of care. I have over 30 years of pet care experience, having worked with animals of all shapes and sizes—from the smallest Chinese hamster to the largest dog breeds. I understand that leaving your pet can be stressful; I know because I've been in your shoes! I was once a client who had a wonderful experience with a Rover sitter, which inspired me to offer the same peace of mind to others. My goal is simple: to make sure you feel completely comfortable and secure while you're away. My Expertise My extensive experience means I'm prepared for many different care needs. I specialize in: Senior Pet Care: Providing the gentle, patient, and specialized attention that older pets often require, including assistance with mobility and comfort. Medication Administration: I have extensive experience caring for sick animals and can confidently administer various types of medications, including oral, topical, and injections, following your veterinarian's instructions precisely. Dog Walking: Offering fun, safe, and appropriately paced walks tailored to your dog's energy level and needs. At-Home Pet Sitting: Ensuring your pets are happy, safe, and comfortable in the familiar environment of their own home, minimizing stress and maintaining their routine. No pet is too small, and no need is too complex. Whether it's a cuddle session for a nervous cat or specific care for a dog with special health requirements, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Why Choose Me? Three Decades of Experience: True mastery in handling diverse animal needs and temperaments. Inspired by a Client's Trust: I approach every booking with the empathy of a pet parent who knows what it feels like to be uncertain. Specialized Care: Confidence in caring for senior and sick pets, which many other sitters may shy away from. I look forward to meeting you and your furry, or feathered family member! Pet care is a big part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care so they receive the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, playtime, administering medications if needed, or simply spending quality time together, I make sure each pet’s individual needs and routine are followed. I believe pets are happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn their preferences, personalities, and habits. Throughout the week, I keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, giving them peace of mind while they’re away. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s a responsibility I take seriously and a part of my everyday life that I truly love. When I care for your pet in your home, my focus is entirely on maintaining their established routine. This setting is usually best for pets who thrive in their familiar environment. Routine Adherence: I follow your specific schedule for feeding, walking, playtime, and potty breaks precisely. Comfort and Security: Your pet has access to their favorite beds, toys, and spaces, which reduces anxiety. Specialized Needs: I administer medications or follow specific care plans (like those for senior pets) exactly as instructed. Home Security: I am respectful of your space and also maintain the security of your home while you are away.
“Toph enjoyed another stay and was well-cared for. She was happy to visit again and play with Trooper and Ronin. Deanna sent lots of updates and made an effort to keep Toph comfortable and engaged.”
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have grown up caring for dogs, from puppies to senior dogs. I've volunteered at many rescues for the past 30 years and have a lot of experience watching friends' and neighbors' dogs. I currently work from home all day, every day, so am available for full time in-home care. I have a flexible schedule that will allow me to take your doggos on walks or just visit them at your home throughout the day. I have a large, fenced backyard with a security camera. The backyard has plenty of room to run and play and is located on a beautiful greenbelt with lots of opportunities to watch squirrels and other dogs walk by. I also have a large home, with multiple large kennels in a quiet room, if needed, for nap time. I have 2 small dogs that are very friendly and love to play!

About: I love animals! I grew up on a farm, and our many pets included dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, frogs and fish. I only have the space for a cat currently, but I love being around animals, taking care of them and getting to know them. I'm experienced in giving medication in the form of pills (my previous cat had cancer), and I have a flexible schedule as a freelance Chinese translator to visit and watch over your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work remotely as a freelance translator with flexible hours. I can easily work from anywhere, and I'm available during the day to visit pets. I'm available for petsitting to provide your pets with all the care and attention they need! I can also pick up the mail and water plants.

About: My family has had dogs since before I was born, and for essentially my entire life. Fluent in body language and I know how to make a dog want what you want. I'll make sure your dog gets the exercise they need and stays safe the whole time. Love all dogs big and small, but if I had to choose I prefer the big ones. Bound to become one of your dog's favorite people in just a couple walks. Don't have any other jobs or anything at this time, but I have therapy appointments on Wednesdays, so I try to keep those free for the sake of my mental health Will bring water bottles on hot days to make sure everyone stays hydrated. Will probably take them to the walking trail or the field by the school to give them a chance to roll in the grass (and hopefully just the grass) and run around.
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover. Caring for your animals and ensuring their happiness and health is my prerogative. I’ve potty trained puppies, administered meds and treatments, soothed anxious dogs, and have senior dog care experience. It’s important to me to have great communication and of course making sure to send pictures of your pups while you’re away. I’m an avid hiker and always looking for a new dog to join me. My dog Mikko is a pyrenees mix and she is friends with everyone. She’s happy in her crate if you’d like her to be separated when we can’t keep an eye on everyone. I’m currently working part-time and have lots of time and resources to care for my own dog as well as others. My dog, Mikko, is very active and requires walks and playtime, so it’s already part of my routine. My townhouse complex is across the street from a park where I walk my dog every day. I don’t have a fenced in yard, but we do have an outside area right outside where we walk our dog on potty breaks. My place is very dog friendly. Mikko and other dogs are allowed on all furniture. Your dog is sure to be safe in my home. I don’t take the responsibility of pet care lightly. Pets are family and I would treat your dog with the same level of care, empathy, and compassion.
“Erik is incredible! Communicative, prompt and kind. Have a high energy doberman and Erik does wonderful with him on his mid day walks. Will continue to trust him and utilize his services!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years, since about sophomore year of high school. I’ve watched over my family’s pets and well as our neighbor’s. This has included regular and daily check ins, feedings, walks, and overnight stays. The longest overnight stay I’ve done was for about a week, where I took care of a family friend’s younger and senior dogs. I have a job right now that allows for a more flexible schedule, that can thus accommodate daily and/or overnight care and sittings as needed. In my client’s home, I make sure to follow exactly the rules and directions given to me by the family. I also directly communicate if there are any issues, or if i have any questions that I would need clarification for- all to ensure the best care possible for their pet(s).
