“Ryan was dependable and consistent. He took care of everything I requested and took a few extra steps like sweeping the floor to clean up kitty litter. Kitties seemed to like him as well! Definitely would use again and recommend.”
“Nikki (Sonja P) was AMAZING! She took wonderful care of our two cats. She gave them lots of attention, including making little hiding forts with the cat blankets, turning on CatTV, and special time with each cat! Nikki housesat while we were away for 11 days. She went above and beyond by bringing in our plants on the deck due to forecasted snow, and watering them daily due to the 80deg heat (May weather!). I had a mixup with the dates, which Nikki noticed. Fortunately she was able to add an extra day helping one more time for us. Litter box was clean and our cats seemed happy ❤️”

About: I grew up with cats and have helped several neighbors! I have experience with kittens and older cats requiring medicine. I also have a calm energy that seems to attract most cats:)

“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Sir Wayne and little Miss Yuki!!!! I can tell they were very much loved during their visit. They felt comfortable enough to give kisses and play!

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.
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: 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.
“Sarah and Darren are wonderful Rover.com sitters. We first took Kali for a meet and greet and that was great. Kali had two walks and dinner and enjoyed a wonderful time at their home while we were away all day. We will definitely use Sarah and Darren again. Thanks!”
About: I work from home, so your dog won't spend the day waiting for someone to walk through the door. I'm right there with them all day long. My townhome sits right next to a park, so we're out walking and playing whenever the mood strikes, rain or shine. After college, I spent 2 years working as a veterinary assistant, so I've gotten comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, such as nervous rescues, bouncy puppies, calm seniors - all of it. I also have experience boarding a dog that is blind. I don't have kids or pets of my own, so when your pup stays with me, they get my full attention. Beds, couches, wherever they want to curl up, they've got the run of the place. My goal is for them to feel loved and comfortable at their home away from home. I currently work from home remotely; my schedule is very flexible, which means lots of time to play, walk, and cuddle with your pup throughout the day. I'm available for boarding any day of the week, and pickup/drop off times are flexible to fit your travel schedule. My townhome does not have a yard, but I have a small balcony patio and live right next to a park with great walking trails. So we're out walking almost every day. It's just my adult brother at home (no other pets or kids), so your pup gets my full attention. I have a crate available if your dog prefers to sleep in one or is working on crate training, but otherwise pups are welcome on all the furniture and can make themselves at home.
“Stephanie is a wonderful fur baby caretaker. She goes above and beyond to care for our dog and shares lots of pictures of her playing with her dog Pretzel and the other puppy guests.”
About: Hi there! 🐾 Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I loved them so much as a kid that by age 7, I was teaching myself how to potty train our dogs and work on basic commands using treats and positive reinforcement. What started as a childhood obsession has turned into a lifelong passion! Over the years, I've volunteered with several animal shelters, most recently helping with dog walks and special events at MaxFund in Denver. Those experiences gave me the opportunity to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. I have a particular soft spot for senior dogs and pets with special needs, who often just need a little extra patience, understanding, and love. While I don't have a personal backyard, daily walks, park visits, and little adventures around Denver are a big part of life for me and my own senior pup, Sammy. I believe every dog deserves plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and affection. I've also cared for dozens of pets belonging to friends and family over the years, and I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would love to do even more of it. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️🐶 While I work full-time, I work from home most weekdays and have full availability on weekends, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. I'm happy to accommodate pups with higher energy needs, but my typical routine includes three 30-minute walks throughout the day, along with lots of playtime, attention, and companionship. Of course, not every dog enjoys or is able to handle that level of activity. I'm especially comfortable caring for senior and special-needs dogs, and I'm happy to adapt walks, playtime, and enrichment activities to their individual needs, mobility, and energy level. I can also provide potty breaks as often as needed and have access to a dog run downstairs for supervised fetch, sniffing, and extra exercise. Whether your dog loves staying active or prefers a slower pace with cozy naps and gentle companionship, I do my best to tailor their care to their personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe, happy, and right at home My home is very much a "dogs are family" kind of place. Couch cuddles are welcome, treats are plentiful (with your approval of course!), and I love providing enrichment through puzzle toys, training games, sniff walks, and interactive play. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, and I enjoy finding fun ways to keep dogs engaged while making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. 🐾❤️
“Brooke and Nathan were amazing. They watched Dante for longer because I was stuck driving in bad weather. Dante was fast asleep on the drive home which meant he had a big day of fun and playing. Thanks to Brooke and Nathan for taking such good care of him!”
“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!”
“Megan and Aaron took great care of Dutch and gave a full report on his day. It sounded like Dutch had a little separation anxiety since this was a first visit, but Aaron and Megan tried to make him feel reassured. Will definitely use again!”
“Breanne and her family are amazing! Our pup loves playing with her dogs, and they are excited to see each other when we drop off. The daily pictures are also a treat to receive.”
“Heather and her family are awesome. So conscientious and kind. I could tell Hazel was happy and not stressed in any way and had a great time playing with Ben. Thank you for taking great care of her and we will see you again soon!”

About: Hi! I’m Esme, a huge animal lover and proud pet parent. I have a Mini American Shepherd named Kita, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. While I adore dogs, I’m also a big cat lover! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, chasing toys, or simply having someone keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to get to know them. From energetic pups to shy kitties, my goal is always to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and become their new bestie! 🐾💕 Animals are already a huge part of my life! As a dog mom to my Mini American Shepherd, Kita, pet care is built into my daily routine. My days are filled with walks, playtime, training, and lots of cuddles. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels less like work and more like something I enjoy. Whether it’s a dog who loves adventure or a cat who just wants a quiet companion, I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to the routines they’re familiar with, so I always try to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals, and, of course, lots of love. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. Some pets love long walks and play sessions, while others prefer cuddles on the couch or a quiet companion nearby. I’m happy to adapt to what makes your pet feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.

“Thank you Nikki for giving our boy Rusty his afternoon walk! We loved the pictures you sent and update. Thank you for putting our minds at ease while we are traveling without him.”
“Bailey was great with our older dog! She made sure he was comfortable and gave him a nice walk while we were gone for the day. She was also very easy to communicate with and sent plenty of pictures and updates for us.”
“Richard has been taking my dog out for the past week and half. He is very patient with my dog (my pupper can be a stubborn potato sometimes) and provided photos for each walk. I highly recommend him!”
“Ashley was a great help. She was walked xena for three weeks and was always on time and very communicative. She treated Xena very well and Xena was happy with her. I would recommend Ashley to anyone who needs a dog walking service.”
“I am very grateful Katherine was able to walk my dog during the work day. She’s very punctual and easy to work with. She provided amazing updates on her services.”
“We had a great experience with Paige! She was excellent at communicating before, during, and after every walk, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She always left thoughtful updates about what they worked on together and how things went. Our dog is a newly adopted shelter pup with lots of energy, and it was clear she genuinely cared about giving her the attention, structure, and care she needs. You can tell she truly loves dogs and takes her work seriously. We really appreciated her patience, reliability, and the effort she put into helping our rambunctious boy thrive. Highly recommend!”
“Ion took such great care of our dog Eevie and gave great updates! She can be kind of a nervous dog but she got comfortable with him right away. We'll definitely be booking with him again. Thanks Ion!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, from walking neighborhood dogs a few times a week to helping with a family doggy daycare where dogs stayed with us for weeks at a time. I also have a sweet Shih Tzu named Oakley, so I know firsthand how much love, patience, and attention pets need every single day. I’ve cared for puppies full of energy, older pets who need a little extra gentleness, and everything in between. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet like family — because I truly believe all pets deserve the same kind of love and care that we humans do. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or simply being a calming presence while you’re away, I make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and cared for. 💗 I currently work full-time, but I always have time before and after work on weekdays to stop by and spend time with your pet! On weekends, my schedule is very open and flexible — perfect for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Whether it’s weekday mornings, evenings, or a weekend adventure, I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention and love they need. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or mine, I make sure they feel secure, loved, and well taken care of. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — from feeding times to walks to play — so they feel right at home, even while you’re away. I have experience with both dogs and cats — from energetic puppies and playful kittens to gentle seniors who need extra patience. Whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time on the couch, or making sure litter boxes and feeding schedules are on track, I give each pet the attention they deserve. You can trust that your pets will be treated like family and cared for with the same love I give my own dog, Oakley.
“Jonathan is the first person who I have felt really comfortable leaving Parker with for long periods of time. His gentle nature is exactly what the Parker pup needs!”
“Hailey took great care of Bowie - offered a meet and greet and took him on a lovely walk. Helped us out last minute, too! Highly recommend Hailey for your Rover needs!”
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.
“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!”

I’d definitely trust Ryan to watch him again. Highly recommend!”
