“Sarah was great! Our pup came home happy and healthy. She was great at communicating throughout his stay and was flexible with pick up and drop off. Would highly recommend!”
“We love Hally! Most importantly our dog, Daisy, does, too. At this point, she is almost as happy to get to their house as she is to come home! Hally always makes sure Daisy gets lots of exercise and has a really special time.”
“Kim is amazing! We adopted Willow, a high energy rescue, a few months ago and were nervous about leaving her with a sitter for the first time. Kim put our minds at ease immediately. She took such good care of Willow, and sent pictures every day of their adventures! We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing she was in great hands. We will absolutely be booking with Kim again!”

“So great to meet Christy and her family! She took great care of Olie, including walks, pictures and updates. Petunia is adorable! An awesome experience! ❤️🐶”
“Dina is a very active and attentive caretaker and took good care of Sammy while I was gone. She took Sammy on runs and to the dog park and sent lots of pictures. Thanks Dina 😊”
“Once again Courtney took amazing care of my pup. I always know he'll be loved and cared for just like I love and care for him when I leave him with Courtney!”
“This was my first time using Rover and Cedar was wonderful. Responsive to messages, accommodating to drop off and pick up times and meet and greet. She sent lots of pictures and my dog was spoiled with loads of couch snuggles. Would not hesitate to book again or recommend using her for dog sitting.”
“Donna was everything Aspen and I needed. Aspen is a very timid dog and Donna welcomed us into her home and let me stay for over an hour to help Aspen feel at home. Aspen is also a very picky eater and she made eggs for her so she would have something to eat. She also let Aspen sleep on her bed. Donna also has a nice size yard where Aspen could run and watch all the squirrels which she found fascinating. Donna loves animals and has a very calm and reassuring manner. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“My pup loves staying with Laura! Laura is communicative, warm, and friendly and my pup gets so excited when she realizes where we’re headed in the car. When my pup needed to take medication while I was away, Laura was great about making sure she got her meds on time and sent many messages to reassure me that my pup was doing well. Will certainly be reaching out to Laura again in the future!”
“Patty was so great with our older dog. She sent lots of photos and let us know he was really settled in at her house. I will definitely use Patty and Mike again. Highly recommended!”
“Courtney is amazing!! We felt completely at ease with leaving Goose with her and she even was able to accommodate goose’s really extra feeding routine lol 100/10 recommend!!”
“Baobao has some separation anxiety problem, fortunately Christy and her kids have been really patient and helpful dealing with her. I am really grateful for their excellent care of Boabao.”
“They could not have been better! We had an emergency situation where the person we had left our dog with to dog sit started abusing our dog. Anika and her husband were so amazing and accommodating to our unique needs. They rescued our puppy from that situation and took good care of him! They even helped him remake good associations with things that he had been traumatized with. They have lovely well-behaved dogs of their own that are puppy became best friends with! They always put the guest dog first. We are definitely booking with them again, and think you should too!”
“Ashlie and Shiloh took wonderful care of my dog! Their dog and children were incredibly sweet, and my pup clearly loved spending time playing with them. I really appreciated the daily updates and knowing my dog was getting regular walks. When I picked my dog up, she was happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired—always a great sign. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Eileen and Michael are the best. We had never left our little Winston with anyone and they took such great care of him. Like he was their own puppy. They were wonderful and amazing..”
“LeAnndra always does an amazing job with Jax! She’s so sweet, caring and flexible and he always has the best time. It’s amazing to have someone that I can completely trust every time I go away! I know Jax is always in the best hands. Thank you!!”
“Amber was a great sitter! Very communicative with pictures and updates on how my dog was behaving during the stay. My dog is so shy but she took good care of her. I’ll definitely recommend Amber and I’ll have her to watch my Aleki again.”

“Bethany was great! She took good care of our two cats. Everything from the initial time meeting the cats to her time watching them went very smoothly.”
“Emily was fantastic with our very shy cat and provided us peace of mind while we were away from home. Her kind presence and patient calmness was appreciated as our cat warmed up to her much more quickly than he has to others in the past. Emily was always on time, cleaned up when necessary, and made sure to spend quality time with our shy cat. We will definitely be using her again and can highly recommend her to any kitty parent! Thanks Emily!”
“Bre was absolutely amazing. We have 4 high maintenance cats and this trip was the first time we've left them in several years. Bre met the cats and our routine in advance taking detailed notes and practicing with the AeroKat inhaler. While we were gone she took time to make sure the cats were comfortable and relaxed. She sent detailed reports of her visits and sent plenty of pictures. I highly recommend Bre and will be using her services again in the future.”
“Our cat adored chris! Followed instructions and kept our cat company while we were away for the week. Will be requesting again in the future!”
“We have booked Shari twice to take care of our cats when we have gone out of town and she has been wonderful every time!! I absolutely recommend booking with Shari. She is so kind and she genuinely cares about all of the animals. Thanks for being awesome!”
“Second time having Dylan hang out with our little Hades kitty. This trip was a bit longer than the last time we were away and Hades was definitely noticing that. Dylan went through some hoops in order to set up a zoom call so we could see and talk to our kitty!! Now that’s a guy who really cares about your pets happiness! I don’t think I’ll ever ask for another sitter besides Dylan. And I know Hades loves it when he comes around for cuddles”
“Abigail was so professional and a delight! Daisy loved her, and Abigail went above and beyond giving her attention. She also checked in and provided pictures. I’m so grateful!”
“Our cat is grumpy. She doesn't like strangers and she hates it when her normal routine is disrupted. So, she's probably not the most fun cat on Tess' rounds. Still, Tess' took super good care of our little grump. We'll definitely use Tess' again. I enjoyed our trip so much more knowing that Rose was in very capable hands while we were away.”
“Sarah was a wonderful sitter for our cats. Her check-ins were always prompt, she was very communicative with pictures and updates, and she always made sure to follow up any questions we had while we were away. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a quality pet companion.”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of the babies and being so flexible and friendly!!! I’m sure they appreciated having someone give them lots of attention and the peace of mind it was for me to be thousands of miles away knowing they are being checked on is truly priceless, thank you!!”
“We were gone for over a week and Tabbi took excellent care of our Kitty. She communicated exceptionally well. We definitely recommend Tabbi for your pet needs.”
“Dixie was great! This was our first time leaving our cats with a sitter and we could not have felt more comfortable. We got so many great pictures each day and they seem happy as can be! Thank you, Dixie!!”
“Carolyn did another wonderful job taking care of MJ! MJ is a non-traditional pet (crested eyelash gecko) and she was just wonderful with him again! I'm sure going to miss her being MJ's sitter. Best of luck to you, Carolyn, on your move!”
“Thanks for being willing to do a drop-in at late notice! The detailed Rover cards were appreciated and it was a great peace of mind to know my kitty was well looked after while I was gone.”
“Rebecca is AMAZING! Highly recommended. Walter felt instantly welcomed and loved when they first met, we knew it would be a great match. When we came home from our ski day, he was so happy! We also came back to a hand wrote note from Rebecca - which is so unheard of! We were provided photos throughout the visits, and Rebecca kept us informed throughout her visit. Can’t want to continue to have Walter loved on by Rebecca!! 🐾🥰”
“Sarah is awesome! She was very helpful when I had a change of plans and adjusted the visits through Rover accordingly, she was excellent with my cats. She kept me informed throughout my vacation on how my cats were doing. 10/10 service!”
About: I would love to care for your cats! I have owned and watched many cats, personalities ranging from chill to very shy. I currently have one super energetic pitty mix, a selective German Shepherd, and a sweet long-haired gray haired feline, all of whom I love dearly. Lucy, our cat, is shy and yet firstly. No matter your cat’s demeanor, I’ll make sure they’re taken care of and loved.
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. For 6 years, I managed a professional dog boarding facility, where I gained extensive experience with everything from daily care and enrichment to handling different temperaments and special needs. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, giving me additional knowledge and comfort when it comes to recognizing health concerns and providing attentive care. I now work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to offer plenty of time, attention, and availability for your pets’ needs. Whether your pup needs walks, companionship, medication support, extra patience, or simply someone who understands them, I’m happy to help. My own 12-year-old rescue pup recently crossed the rainbow bridge. He was a reactive dog, and he taught me the importance of meeting dogs where they are, building trust, and creating a safe environment for every personality type. I have a genuine appreciation for dogs who need a little extra understanding and am comfortable working with pets who may be shy, anxious, reactive, or have other special needs. I do have a friendly cat and a younger child in my home, so for dogs who are reactive and unable to comfortably be around them, I kindly ask that services take place in your home where your pet can feel safest and most relaxed. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets and providing the same care, patience, and love I would want for my own. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to tailor my care around your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog thrives on frequent walks, needs extra potty breaks, requires medication reminders, benefits from a slower pace, or simply needs more one-on-one attention, I have the availability to provide consistent and reliable care. Because I work from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day rather than fitting pets into a busy schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and personality, and I’m happy to adjust my approach to help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic pups who need enrichment and activity to senior pets who need patience and a little extra support, my schedule gives me the flexibility to provide the kind of personalized attention each pet deserves. My approach to caring for animals is centered around patience, trust, and treating every pet as an individual. I believe animals communicate in their own ways, and it’s important to take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and needs rather than expecting every pet to fit the same mold. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel respected and cared for. Whether that means a long walk, extra playtime, quiet companionship, a slower introduction, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, I adjust my care to what makes each animal happiest and most comfortable. My experience has taught me that the best caregivers are observant, patient, and willing to meet pets where they are. I take pride in building trust with animals and providing the same level of care, attention, and compassion that I would want someone to give my own pets.
“Awesome communication and easy to get a response from. Had a wonderful experience booking her for drop in visits and she took amazing care of my pet”

“I dropped my pup Monkey off for a few hours with Sarah while my partner and I went to the hot springs. Sarah had a few other dogs in the house and she let us come in and meet the pack/ watch Monkey meet them all. One of the dogs wasn't thrilled about the new member so we decided it was best to keep the pack split. Monkey had a blast playing with a new friend outside in the yard and inside, and Sarah sent me photos and a video which I loved :) I would definitely trust Sarah again to watch my baby girl!”
“Kim was a lifesaver on our trip to Colorado Springs, many of the activities we planned didn't allow dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving our doggo with her. She was super flexible on times and we even added an extra day! She sent videos and our pup was so happy when we picked him up and excited when we took him back the next day!”
“She is great! she accomodated us last minute and very friendly, sends picture of our toy poodle always. Surely will use her service again :)”
About: I have taken care of animals my entire life and have had many different pets from childhood into adulthood. I have been a trusted house and pet sitter for over 10 years. I live an active lifestyle and love to take runs/walks (your dogs can join me)! I work part-time from home, with a very flexible schedule, so I can make just about any time work for the care of your fur baby! I will be able to let your pet out as much as needed and will be sure to make them a priority! I live on Fort Carson with a fenced yard (with grass!!!!) and pet friendly home. The area is very walkable! I will ensure that your pet is in a safe environment. I like to stick to the animal's routine as much as possible, hang out with them, and make sure they get as much exercise as they need. I have one dog - a labradoodle who is fixed and very friendly - he would love to play with your dogs too!
“Tyler is wonderful! Made me feel so comfortable leaving my dog with him. Very knowledgeable about dogs too. He’s the only one that I will use to watch my pup.”
“Leslie took excellent care of Felix. Even more than that, she was flexible with the times daily, even when we had to cancel and re-schedule on short notice. The home was very clean and my pup was accepted by all in the family. It was Felix's first time away without family. This was our first Rover experience so we were a bit nervous, but we will definitely seek to book her again. Can't thank her enough!”
“We greatly appreciated the flexibility as we went sight-seeing. We were very happy that our dog got to have attention and go outside while we were apart from him.”
“Meghann and Rachel provided such wonderful care for denali! He loved going there, and even came home brushed once just as a favor. We had to move, and Denali will definitely miss this family a lot.”
“Erica was warm and welcoming to my 6 mth old puppy who had such an enjoyable time for the three days she spent with them their awesome OG dogs. Thankyou”
“My chihuahua mix doggies, Roscoe and Mia love Donna and she loves on them. They come home happy and content and I know they have had a great time with Donna, her dog, Opal and her husband, Dave because they come home and sleep. Also there are always lots of terrific pictures. We are thankful for Rover and Donna!”
“Heather took such good care of my baby! Her dog Gauge was the perfect playmate for him too. My dog can be anxious but she made him feel very comfortable. She took him on walks, played fetch, and sent lots of pictures so I didn’t have to worry at all! I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
“I can't say enough nice things about Hanui. Not only did she take excellent care of my dog, but she offered additional help when I was in a bind. She and her husband are outstanding people. I am grateful to them.”
About: Hi there! I’m Charlotte, and I’ve spent the last 11 years turning my love for animals into a full-blown passion. I started as a dog trainer at Petco over a decade ago, which means I speak "Dog" fluently—from bouncy puppies to those quirky breeds with big personalities. If you’re currently working on training, I’m your girl! I’d love to keep those good habits going while you’re away. I live in a cozy two-bedroom home with my partner, John, and our two boys, Odis and Pete. We have a big, fenced-in backyard that is basically a private dog park! Your pup will have a built-in playmate in Odis, who is a total social butterfly. (Our other guy, Pete, is a rescue-in-progress who prefers his own space, so he stays in a separate wing of the house to keep the environment stress-free for everyone!) I don’t just stop at dogs—I’m a fan of all creatures! Whether you have a tiny hamster, a talkative conure, or a cool reptile, they’ll get first-class love and care with me. I treat every guest like a member of our family. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur (or scale!) babies soon! Since I only work part-time (about 10–20 hours a week), my schedule is mostly wide open for what I do best: showering your fur babies with love! Whether it’s mid-day belly rubs or afternoon sun-nap sessions, I’m around to keep them company. Even if I have to pop out for a quick errand, I make it a rule to never be away for more than two hours—because I honestly miss them too much to stay away longer! Treating your pets like family isn't just a saying for me—it’s my standard! I’ll care for your fur babies with the exact same love and vigilance I give my two boys, Odis and Pete. Whether I’m in your home or mine, safety comes first. I’m a stickler for double-checking locks, following your specific feeding/medication routines to a T, and keeping a watchful eye during outdoor time. I know how tough it is to leave your heart in a stranger's hands, so expect plenty of 'puparazzi' photos and video updates! You’ll never have to wonder how they’re doing—you’ll see their happy faces right on your phone.
“Midas always has a blast playing with other dogs. Comes gone good and tired after fun day, and Cassandra is so good at making sure requests are followed and follows up with videos and pics.”

About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals—growing up with five amazing dogs, two cats, and recently pet-sitting my brother’s cat and her litter of five kittens when I visit family. I’ve learned how to raise, train, and care for animals deeply and intentionally. When we had chickens, I remember training my dog to gently herd them back into the coop while my cat stood watch like a little guardian. I also recall how our dogs and cats would sense when one of my family members—whether my siblings, mom, dad, or grandma—was feeling down and would go over to comfort them. That’s when I realized how smart and intuitive animals can be when we trust and guide them. Over the years, I’ve gained experience dog-sitting for my mom’s friends, caring for my roommates’ cats, and providing care for a friend’s service dog. I’m comfortable with animals of all temperaments and needs, and I always approach each one as a unique soul with their own personality and rhythms. I also know how to bathe both dogs and cats with care and patience (yes, even the cats!). Whether it’s trail walks or quiet time at home, I’m here to ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and totally at ease. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet the time and attention they deserve—whether that’s outdoor adventures or simply being a calming presence. I work from home, so my schedule is incredibly flexible and I’m available throughout the week to care for your pets. I can stay at your home overnight, providing consistent care for both cats and dogs. Whether you’re going on a short vacation or need someone for a long-term stay, from weeks to months, I can be there to make sure your pets get the attention and love they deserve. I’m available for stays of any length and can provide both regular visits or extended care as needed. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be a big decision, and I’m committed to building trust by providing the best care possible. I’ll ensure your pets are always supervised, whether on hikes, at the dog park, or just enjoying time at home. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you have regarding your pet’s routine or care needs. Whether it’s making sure they get to their preferred groomer, giving elderly dogs extra attention with special instructions, or managing specific dietary or medication needs—I’m here to make sure they are well taken care of. I’m also committed to keeping their space clean and comfortable, with daily cleanup and a tidy environment, so they feel right at home. You can trust me to treat your pets with love, patience, and respect while ensuring they stay safe, happy, and relaxed in a familiar routine.
About: I enjoy dogs more than people. When I used to live on Guam, there was a period i was watching 4 dogs, 2 of which were mine. One happened to be a pit bull, and another happened to be rottweiler. The other 2 were medium sized. Now, that I am no longer in Guam I have 3 dogs that me and my wife take care of. I have my 2 from Guam. I havent been around all types of dogs, but I really enjoy them all. I find their different personalities and their energy levels interesting. I enjoy walking my dogs, so I think it would be fun to walk other peoples dogs. When I’m not working and time permits, i like taking my pups hiking in the mountains with me. Thank you for checking out my profile ! I walk my three girls at least five days a week. And when I have a day off, i love taking them into the mountains. Each dog is different. Different pup parents have different plans for their babies, so their rules come first. But if permitted, i would love to share the same trails I explore with our four legged partners.
“Mara has been fantastic with my mini Aussie - she is very attentive to details and makes sure to follow instructions to a T. Highly recommend!”
“I was sick and desperately needed my boy walked, Dylan came and walked him in the rain at 9:30 pm with only a 30 minute heads up. An absolute angel.”
About: My family has had dogs for my entire life and I don't think that I would be who I am without them. I have lots of experience caring for both my dogs and other friends and family's pets as well. I am also a big soccer player, so I love getting my runs or walks in with my dogs! I currently work part time in Colorado Springs, so I will have lots of time to care for your pets. I also have my own car so transportation will never be an issue. I am also very active and I would love to help keep your pet active as well! I am happy to help keep your home feeling like home for your pet while you are away. I do my best to closely follow instructions in order to keep your pet comfortable and happy and safe!
“Nancy is great. Extremy professional. Excellent communication and service. Nancy clearly takes her care for your pet very seriously. We look forward to working with her in the future.”
“Dixie was attentive and caring towards Levi. She asked tons of questions to make sure she gave him the best care possible. I plan on using her any time I need help watching my dog!”
“Bethany and her family have been wonderful with us and taking care of our puppy. They are extremely flexible and understanding with our hectic last minute changes. I can’t thank them enough knowing my little man is taken care of while I am at work. Highly recommend if you are looking for a reliable dog walker.”
“Mackenzie was so awesome! She was so sweet to my pup and really took care of him. She was prompt on his walking schedule, and she gave excellent updates on every walk. I was so happy every time she shared what they did on his walks, which eased my mind greatly. I will definitely rebook with Mackenzie in the future, she was great!”

About: I have years of hands-on dog care experience, starting with taking care of my family's dogs since I was 10, which taught me responsibility and patience, and daily pet care routines from a young age. As an independent dog walker and pet sitter, I've provided daily walks, feeding, playtime, and medication reminders. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I balance it alongside being a full‑time college student. I plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to set consistent times for feeding, walks, play, and check‑ins. Whether it’s morning walks before class, I will make sure each pet gets reliable attention and care. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment whether the pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in the client’s home. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible including feeding times, walks, play, bathroom breaks, and any medication instructions. I make sure fresh water is always available, keep the space clean, and monitor behavior for signs of stress or discomfort.

About: Hi, I'm Dan! My best buddy Yama was born in January of 2019, he is now a seven year old good boy. I am a former Army infantry medic and am attending graduate school remotely from my house. I grew up on a farm in Oregon where I was surrounded with all sorts of animals from a young age. I love all animals, especially dogs. My style is fairly permissive, especially with other people's dogs, but I am clear on boundaries, redirect when needed, and give lots of love and positive energy. I don't buy into the dominance theory training methodology and am a big fan of Karen Pryor's training methods. I am happy to answer any questions you have on my philosophy. I live and work at home, so we do daily walks, play time in the backyard, mental enrichment activities, and low active / layabout sessions. I work from home full-time, so your dog is never left alone for long and always has eyes on them throughout the day. My home has a securely fenced yard, and I take introductions between dogs slowly and intentionally, reading body language carefully before giving anyone free run of the space. My seven year old dog Yama is a steady, positive presence who helps visiting dogs settle in. I use positive reinforcement exclusively because a dog that feels safe and understood is a dog that behaves safely. If anything ever seems off medically or behaviorally, I'll contact you promptly - that being said, that hasn't ever happened.
“Rebecca is awesome! Is is very communicative when it comes to when she will be present and how the pets are doing. She is great with my dogs! (Hire her!)”
“Sarah was amazing with my pup and went out of her way to meet him in person prior to booking. She sent multiple photos of him every day, was quick to respond to my messages and great at handling him! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using again!”
About: A Labrador was my first baby - then followed the humans and more Labradors...and a few guinea pigs. Classroom teacher by trade and full-time animal lover. Overnights are available and my schedule is very free during the summer. Clients dictate their needs and what is asked for is followed. Peace of mind is what I want for the humans. This varies by pet but I am an active hiker and familiar with area dog parks. I also couldn't imagine having someone I didn't trust in my home. Following the owner instructions and keeping pets safe and happy is my job.

“This was my first time using Rover and Cedar was wonderful. Responsive to messages, accommodating to drop off and pick up times and meet and greet. She sent lots of pictures and my dog was spoiled with loads of couch snuggles. Would not hesitate to book again or recommend using her for dog sitting.”
“My pup loves staying with Laura! Laura is communicative, warm, and friendly and my pup gets so excited when she realizes where we’re headed in the car. When my pup needed to take medication while I was away, Laura was great about making sure she got her meds on time and sent many messages to reassure me that my pup was doing well. Will certainly be reaching out to Laura again in the future!”

“They could not have been better! We had an emergency situation where the person we had left our dog with to dog sit started abusing our dog. Anika and her husband were so amazing and accommodating to our unique needs. They rescued our puppy from that situation and took good care of him! They even helped him remake good associations with things that he had been traumatized with. They have lovely well-behaved dogs of their own that are puppy became best friends with! They always put the guest dog first. We are definitely booking with them again, and think you should too!”
“Ashlie and Shiloh took wonderful care of my dog! Their dog and children were incredibly sweet, and my pup clearly loved spending time playing with them. I really appreciated the daily updates and knowing my dog was getting regular walks. When I picked my dog up, she was happy, relaxed, and pleasantly tired—always a great sign. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”

“Brianna was the best sitter I’ve ever used from Rover! She treated Buddy like he was part of her family, took him on many walks, and sent so many updates throughout his stay with them. She is a true dog lover, and I would love to have her watch Buddy again.”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Samantha watch my dog, McFly, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From the moment I met her, I knew my furry friend was in good hands. Samantha is incredibly compassionate and takes the time to understand each dog's personality and needs. Throughout McFly's stay, she provided regular updates and shared adorable photos that put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared for him, giving him plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I especially appreciated the daily walks and the fun activities she planned to keep him entertained. When I returned, McFly was happy and well-cared for, which says it all! I highly recommend Samantha for pet sitting. She is reliable, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future dog-sitting needs! Thank you, Samantha, for taking such great care of McFly! 🌟🐾”
