“This was our first time leaving our nine month old puppy with anyone. And we left him for 8 nights!! He is a bit anxious and shy so we were a little bit nervous on how he would adapt. But Stephanie was absolutely incredible. She sent me so many updates and pictures to let me know how he was doing. He was incredibly comfortable in her home and with her family and the other dogs. She was so thoughtful in making sure that he was paired with the right dogs, during his stay. We were 100% use her again. Thank you so much for all of the love and care for our sweet Nugget!!”
“Megan and Aaron are the best! Communicative, welcoming, flexible...and Augie is happy and tired when I come to pick him up. And he is always very excited when he understands he is going to their house for a stay. I am so grateful I have them to rely on when I travel!”
“Dan is just wonderful. He is kind, considerate, communicative… and was very loving to our fur baby, Rio. Dan was also very helpful and worked with us when we had several last minute schedule changes due to unforeseen circumstances. We could tell Rio was well-loved and cared for!”
“Michele and family took incredible care of Bowie - going above and beyond with walks, ball playtime, hikes, and puppy play dates !! Bowie was a happy camper with Michele and looks forward to his next visit :) thank you for taking care of Bowie like your own <3”
“Sarah and Darren were amazing with Odin. They were so incredibly kind to him. They showed him constant love and care. Odin is a big American Bully that needs constant attention and love and they were 100% up to the task. They sent a bunch of beautiful pictures of him enjoying his stay. They even celebrated his birthday with a special dinner dish. I highly recommend them and will absolutely use their amazing services in the future. This is now Odin’s second home.”
“Breanne was very friendly and welcoming of Anya. She took really good care of her and also has a large wonderful house for a dog to be comfortable. This was our first Rover reservation and Breanne went above and beyond to ensure that we feel safe leaving Anya with her. I would highly recommend reaching out to her in case you need help for your dog(s). Thank you, Breanne!”
“This is our dog's second time with Amy. It is obvious that he is well loved and treated like a dog of their own. I get updates and photos daily and he comes back very happy. I couldn't ask for more.”
“Erik was amazing! Took good care of Prince and even updated us frequently on anything and everything! Prince seemed to have a great time too. Will contact Erik again in the future! Thanks again!”
“I would give 10 stars if I could. Tim is great with Cabi and Nugget. Nugget is usually shy around people he doesn't know. He was laying on Tim's lap within hours of being there. I highly recommend Tim. It is comforting to know my pups are well taken care of when I have to board them.”
“Meghan and Rebecca are wonderful!! They’ve watched our pup a few times before and were recently able to accommodate a last minute booking request. They always send a daily update and photo, and we know our pup is in great hands. We look forward to booking with them again!”
“Mary Jo is such an excellent dog sitter! It was so hard to leave our pup Hank for the first time, but her frequent updates and photos definitely put us at ease. She was also so understanding, patient, and accommodating with Hank's puppy-like energy. Hank was so well cared for and seriously slept forever when he got home because of all of the fun he had over at Mary Jo's. Thanks Mary Jo!”
“Alyssa took great care of Titan. It was our first Rover experience and it was stress-free and he was very well taken care of any happy. Lots of photos of their adventures. Thanks Alyssa!”
“Su is fantastic! I highly recommend her for your pet's stay! Su sent photos of Hachi while he was with her and she sent texts as to how he was doing everyday! He was happy and healthy when I picked him up! I could tell that he was very well cared for while in her care and I had no worries while I was out of town. I will definitely use her services again and again!”
“Denitsa and Charlie dog were excellent caregiver and play buddy to our lil yorkipoo! First time using Rover for us and was blown away at the many adorable pictures and communication that our baby was having fun and lots of exercise! Will definitely rebook with her for our next trip if she’s still open! Thanks so much!”
“Lindsey was an INCREDIBLE Rover. I really mean it, your dog will be in heaven. They are a house of animal lovers and all the updates made me so happy to see how much fun Otto was having. This is definitely the best of Rover, don't miss out on a chance to book with Lindsey & fam :)”

“Sandra was a great sitter for my kitty Mooshu! She took the time to understand my cat’s schedule and needs. She played with my cat, was extremely caring for her and my apartment, and also left a lovely note for when I got back from my trip. Communication was excellent and I would highly recommend Sandra for cat sitting!”
“Ryan was wonderful with Zoey — reliable, attentive, and great with updates/ communication. He followed all instructions, and she warmed up to him quickly, which says a lot! We felt at ease the whole time and would happily book him again.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from cats, dogs, and birds to cows and farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me how to truly understand their behavior and emotions. Animals naturally trust me, and I build a calm, safe connection with every pet I meet. I also have experience caring for senior pets and helping shy animals feel comfortable. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just giving love, your pet will feel at home with me. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine because I work part-time with a very flexible schedule. I always make time for walks and pet visits, both on weekdays and weekends. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I often plan my days around it. Caring for pets isn’t just a task for me — it’s a relaxing and rewarding part of my routine. When I care for pets, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, proper meals, playtime, and enough outdoor time if needed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality — whether they need extra energy, gentle patience, or quiet company. If needed I will keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and cared for.
“Sonja is incredible at what she does!…. She dropped in on my 2 x kittens and sent me so many pictures and made fortresses for them!. They were so happy when I got home. Sonja came last minute and she always put my mind at ease. I will use her now permanently and I can’t reccomend her high enough”
“Cole is always such an awesome sitter for Raisin! Very thorough, attentive to our pets needs, and sends great updates! It’s always hard to leave your pet when traveling, but I have such confidence leaving him in Cole’s hands. Thank you!!”
About: I love cats, and all animals too! I grew up on a farm, and our many pets included cats, dogs, lizards, hamsters, frogs and fish. I have one giant cat, and I love being around cats, taking care of them and getting to know them. I'm experienced in giving pills, and I have a flexible schedule as a freelance Chinese translator to visit and watch over your cat. I look forward to meeting you and your cat!
About: I’m a huge cat lover and understand that every cat has their own unique personality. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and plenty of affection on their terms.
“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.”
“Ashley is such a great communicator - she takes lots of pictures and gives great updates. Very responsible and responsive. I’m very happy with her services and so it my cat!”
“Ashley was fantastic! She was very communicative and provided daily reports while my boyfriend and I were out of the country for 10 days. I highly recommend her!”
“Bailey was wonderful with Luka and Poppy! She was communicative, on time, and took excellent care of our kittens during her visits. She made sure they were well fed, spent time playing with them, and sent us thoughtful photo updates that gave us so much peace of mind. We also came home to a clean, well-cared-for house—highly recommend Bailey and would absolutely book her again!”
“My cat is extremely antisocial around strangers, and Katherine did an excellent job working around that. By the end of the arrangement, Kitty even started to warm up to her—and that says a lot!”
“I would recommend Sydney for anyone needing someone to check on their beloved fur babies! She responded quickly and provided plenty of pictures and information about my kitties when she checked in on them. Thanks again Sydney!”
“Appreciated Lori watching my cats while I was gone! The heat did some weird things to the door frames & Lori managed to come up with a solution, which I greatly appreciated!”
“Coral is amazing! Our cat is normally very cautious around people she doesn’t know but after the second time we had Coral check in on her, she was treating her like us and was very sweet and chatty.”
“Claudia does a great job with drop-in visits for our cats. Our cats are typically scared of strangers but warm up immediately to her and she also takes care of some health care needs for our older cat.”

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.
“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 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. 🐾❤️
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.
“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! I’m just so grateful you were able to help and on such short notice. You guys are the best! And your dogs too were such good playmates for my fur balls of energy.”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Coltrane spent his first day with Sarah & Darren and they took great care of him. It is obvious that they are dog lovers and enjoy hanging out and playing. Coltrane had so much fun, he didn't necessarily even want to leave when we picked him up. We have a couple of boarding stays booked with Sarah & Darren in the near future and I feel good about leaving Coltrane with them for these stays. I know he will be well taken care of and have lots of fun. Thank you Sarah & Darren!”

Whether I’m boarding your pet, providing doggy day care, stopping by for a drop-in visits, or taking them on a walk, I tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. My goal While boarding at my home each dog will have their own sleeping quarters, usually crate unless not crate trained we do have an additional room reserved for our furry friends. Every pet will get a specialized enrichment and fun activity to do, with potty breaks in between, and fresh water available to them at all times and their meals according to schedule. I’m also comfortable administering medications and caring for puppies, kittens, and senior pets. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home -whether they are staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home.

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.

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.

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 cat is in remission from 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.
“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!”
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.

“This was our first time leaving our nine month old puppy with anyone. And we left him for 8 nights!! He is a bit anxious and shy so we were a little bit nervous on how he would adapt. But Stephanie was absolutely incredible. She sent me so many updates and pictures to let me know how he was doing. He was incredibly comfortable in her home and with her family and the other dogs. She was so thoughtful in making sure that he was paired with the right dogs, during his stay. We were 100% use her again. Thank you so much for all of the love and care for our sweet Nugget!!”
“Megan and Aaron are the best! Communicative, welcoming, flexible...and Augie is happy and tired when I come to pick him up. And he is always very excited when he understands he is going to their house for a stay. I am so grateful I have them to rely on when I travel!”
“Dan is just wonderful. He is kind, considerate, communicative… and was very loving to our fur baby, Rio. Dan was also very helpful and worked with us when we had several last minute schedule changes due to unforeseen circumstances. We could tell Rio was well-loved and cared for!”
“Sarah and Darren were amazing with Odin. They were so incredibly kind to him. They showed him constant love and care. Odin is a big American Bully that needs constant attention and love and they were 100% up to the task. They sent a bunch of beautiful pictures of him enjoying his stay. They even celebrated his birthday with a special dinner dish. I highly recommend them and will absolutely use their amazing services in the future. This is now Odin’s second home.”
