“We are so lucky to have found Stephanie to watch our dogs this past weekend! We rarely leave our girls with new people, however we instantly felt like we could trust Stephanie and were not disappointed. We loved the steady stream of updates and photos/videos and having AirTags on the girls made it fun to watch their adventures throughout their stay. The girls loved having a big yard as well as fit right in with Stephanie’s 2 dogs, and they were in high spirits when we picked them up. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you so much!”

“From the moment we met Tina, we knew our dogs were in great hands! It is very apparent how much she loves dogs and she made Ben and Charlie feel tight at home! They both look forward to getting to stay there again! Thank you Tina!”

“Hayley took wonderful care of our dog, Otis, for two weeks while we were overseas. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We really appreciated the regular photo updates throughout his stay, they helped us feel connected and reassured that he was happy and well cared for. Hayley and her family truly welcomed Otis into their home and treated him like one of their own. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Hayley to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Jess is the kindest dogsitter I’ve ever used through Rover. She’s flexible and can handle anything - I’ve dropped my three dogs off with her while she had others there to watch and handled them all with ease. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”

“Dean was great with our pups and sent updates throughout their stay. I would absolutely trust him again, I know they were very well cared for and had lots of walks and play time!”

About: I have a soft spot for animals and love to play!! I've had pets my entire life and can help yours have a more active lifestyle. I'm willing to take long hikes on the trails, short walks around town, play ball at your place or just spend quality time with senior pets. I'm known for my integrity and dependability. I understand pets are like children to most people and will treat them as such.Great local references. I live and work full time in Ouray. I work at the Ouray Hot Springs Pool Friday through Monday 6am to 4pm. I can house/pet sit 7 days a week. When staying in someone's home I follow the lists/guidelines exactly as the homeowner wishes. I don't plan other things while sitting. Watching/ entertaining and caring for your home and pet is my job around the clock. I can provide a long list of local references if desired.
“Sierra was awesome! We were in town for the day and couldn’t bring our dog out to play. Sierra met us somewhere convenient and our pup Cashew was off for the day with her pack. Sierra sent us lots of updates and photos throughout the day. We felt SO good about our decision to leave Cashew with Sierra. He had a blast and was tired and happy when he returned home! Thank you, Sierra!”

“Alaina was great! She was able to help us out while we were visiting Telluride with a last minute booking. She took our dog with her everywhere. Kya had a chill day and made some friends and had a lovely walk around Mountain Village. Thanks Alaina!!”

“Bria is incredible! We hired her to help with a photoshoot (thanks again for helping us with an out of the box request!), and we are so thankful we did. It’s rare to get the chance to watch a sitter interact with your dog before trusting them, but Mia felt completely at ease with Bria from the moment they met. The constant wags said it all! Mia is a rescue and can be selective about the people she trusts, so seeing her instantly connect with Bria meant everything to us. Bria was calm, patient, and so kind with her. AND she knew exactly how to get her attention for the camera. I can’t recommend Bria highly enough. If you’re looking for someone in Telluride to care for your pup, look no further!”

“Molly took great care of my dog. They went on plenty of walks, hikes, and water trips. Very great communication and updates. Highly recommend using Molly to take great care of your dog while in Telluride!”

“Megan was wonderful and easy to communicate with. She cared for our cats just as we would have while we were out of town. Our one cat Tod is usually a little shy and he was out and about with Megan instantly. We will certainly be rebooking with Megan for our cat sitting needs. Thank you!”

“Terry was an outstanding caregiver to our sweet kitty. Communication was excellent - very quick to reply and friendly. She spent time getting to know our kitty and we felt very comfortable with her in our home. She took great care of our fur baby and we will definitely use her again. Cannot recommend highly enough.”

“Katy was patient, responsive and kind. I have a special needs kitty and she was incredibly empathetic and took great care of him. She went above and beyond as far as checking in and providing updates. Highly recommended, thank you Katy!”

“Karissa was great! We planned our trip last minute and she was still able to squeeze in time to come meet the kitties before we left. She kept me updated the whole time we were gone and everything was perfect when we returned. Will definitely use her services again!”


About: I have had and loved cats my entire life. Never a day without a cat companion by my side. I am skilled at getting timid cats to warm up to me and am an expert pill hider in treats.

About: A year and a half ago I moved from Mexico and my Maine Coon is too old to make the trip and I miss her dearly I travel to see her at least every 3 months, in the meantime I would love to spend some time with yours and I’ll do my best to make better that time that you are apart.

“Hayley was wonderful watching Luna for 3 days! She was very reliable and sent helpful updates on her eating, playing, and outside time. The photo updates were great, and it made me laugh that Luna’s 'tortitude' didn’t fade until Hayley broke out the Churus! So grateful I found Hayley and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”

“Sandi does a great job watching the house, taking care of my cats and chickens, and sending pictures and updates to us several times a day. We definitely recommend Sandi to watch your furry friends and house!!”

“We enjoyed having Caleb look after our dogs! We set up dog sitting with him at our camper while we rode the Durango Train. Caleb set up a meeting the night before to meet the dogs and get information on what we needed from him. He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable leaving our fur babies in his care. He came by 2 times and walked them both times and fed them on the second visit. He communicated with us both times and sent pictures. We even needed the air conditioner turned on while he was there and he gladly took care of that. I would highly recommend Caleb for the care of your fur babies!”

“Sierra is the best! She is dependable, caring, and has great communication with us while we’re away. Knowing that she is taking care of my 2 cats puts me at ease when I’m away. I couldn’t be happier with her!!”

“Stephanie goes above and beyond with you furry babies. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day of my GSP. She asked what his exercise routine was and made sure to make him tired for me. She took my GSP hiking and placed an air tag on him so I can track whenever! My GSP was exhausted getting back from daycare and that is not easy to do! Would definitely take him back to Stephanie! Thank you for taking such amazing care of my sweet boy !!”

About: I truly care for them as if they were my own. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve learned to read their personalities, moods, and needs quickly, so they feel safe and comfortable with me from day one. I also bring a background in hospitality, which means I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and used to making sure every guest — two-legged or four-legged — feels genuinely taken care of. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, giving extra attention to a nervous pet, or just making sure they get plenty of love while their owners are away, I treat every animal with the same patience and affection I’d want for my own. I’m currently in between jobs and I couldn’t think of a best way of spending this time than doing what I love and share my time with new furry friends! I take care of the pets at their own home. It is important for me that they feel comfortable in their own environment. I fully adapt myself to the furry friend needs.
About: I have taken car of pets my whole life. For family, friends, and neighbors. I’m able to walk, feed or just hang out with your fur children! I currently work full time from home. I have a 2.5 year old who is in daycare all day. My schedule is very flexible, and I can accommodate just about any of your needs! I have a 6 foot fenced in big back yard. I’m able to walk a few times a day. We can also accommodate the more mellow dogs who just want to lounge and get pets.
“Haley took care of my 1yr old German Shorthaired Pointer so we could enjoy some time at the hot springs in Ouray. Anyone who knows the temperament of this breed knows it takes patience and energy to care for them. She was great I felt very comfortable leaving her with Haley and her family they gave our dog great care and a fun stay. Highly recommend!”


“As a first-time Rover, Dean set the bar very high! Communication throughout the day was great, and he was accommodating when our plans changed as the day went on. Thank you for everything, Dean!”

“Jess's place is off the beaten path and a little hard to find, but it is surrounded by wide-open spaces, which Fred likes. Jess was enthusiastic about Corgies and her Corgi and Fred had a good time.”

“Sierra was great! She was very quick to respond, sent us pics of the pups on the hike and kept them at her house until we were back from skiing. The pups had a blast and were so tired afterwards. A tired pup is a happy pup! We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of animals for the entirety of my life. I know telluride having lived here 10 years and would gladly explore the area with your pet. I for the most part am working only on weekends, thus, just about every weekday I am free to to work on rover. Telluride is home. I have a home with a small fenced in yard. No crate, nor do I want to care for a dog that needs to be in a crate.
About: Having had several dogs in my life and a dog training License I feel your animals would be at home with me as much as you I do not have a dog and I just enjoy dogs, attitude, company and motivation. They would allow me to care and earn some extra cash. They will be treated like a member of the family in your home. The parameters that you set up will be respected Either way, the animal will feel safe and at peace

“Karissa was terrific! She met with us the night before her shift and our dog took to her immediately. The next day she showed up on time and gave him a nice long walk. We really appreciated knowing that he was well taken care of while we were away sight seeing. We highly, highly recommend Karissa.”

“Caleb is a great dog walker if you’re visiting Ouray with your fur baby and will have to leave them for the day. He took great care of my pup and my parents dog as well. Sent us pictures, an update and even spent extra time with them. We’re so glad he was able to see our girls while we were out and about! Thanks Caleb!”
