“Jared and Chelsea were amazing with our dogs! We were hesitant to leave our 3 month old puppy for a week as she is still potty training and teething but they took her without hesitation in addition to our other dog. They sent lots of pics and videos and our dogs LOVED getting to play with their dogs the whole week. We are so glad they were in such good hands and we will definitely use them again!”
“We were out of town for several days, and Doby took such wonderful care of Louie. He absolutely loved his time with her and her husband.

We’re so grateful for the care and attention she gave him and would absolutely trust her again.”

“10 stars for Sarah! She kept our babies safe while we were away for the holidays and I cannot say enough how relieved I felt knowing they were in her care!! She sent so many photos and gave updates with each visit. So communicative and responsible, I will absolutely hire Sarah again and can’t recommend her enough <3”
“Diego was absolutely exceptional at taking care of my two kitties while I was away! Our trip came up last minute and he was super accommodating about coming in with late notice. He also was very nice when we had a snafu with an incorrect address listed on our rover info! He always sent me detailed updates with lots of pics, and even left a gift for the cats on his last day. So happy to have found Diego and Mauro as sitters for our cats!”
“Holly is a ray of sunshine and my cat who is very skittish came right up to her and befriended her. She was very accomodating to come the day before on short notice to show her the ropes and how to get into a difficult to find apartment. Meeting her and speaking with her, truly made my day and turned around a very challenging week. Definitely will be booking her again.”
“She was amazing! My two tortie cats are monsters and struggle with severe chronic pain. Erika managed them so well I couldn’t believe it! She got them to take their medications when no one else could and stayed calm when they were behaving erratically. She was incredibly communicative and great at following instructions.”
“Second time using Terri and it feels like she has been watching our cats for years. Our older cat Cosmo is usually standoffish with strangers, and even people he has known his whole life. But when Terri comes in he instantly goes to the room with his toys for play time. Our very first meeting our younger cat Goose jumped up on her lap (she never does this with us!). Terri is a cat whisperer and we love her. I feel like they don’t even seem phased by us going on vacation anymore. They love her so much and she clearly goes above and beyond in making them feel taken care of. Thanks so much Terri!!”
“Kirsten took the best care of my two kitties. She went above and beyond my expectations and left my apartment clean and my kitties happy. She took extra time to pet, brush, and play with the cats and kept me updated everyday with how things were going. Loved her and will be reaching out again!”
“Ambriehl always does an amazing job caring for my cat while I am away. I have asked for her help multiple times now and every experience has been wonderful. I always receive a detailed update and lots of pictures. I highly recommend working with Ambriehl!”
“Mariah is wonderful!! So communicative and genuinely caring for our pets. Our cat LOVES her. Having a pet sitter like Mariah puts our minds at ease knowing our pets are getting the best care!”
“Rachel was so great with my cat! Rachel handled my cat’s medications like a pro and was super flexible and understanding when my plans changed. Would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone for pet sitting, especially if your cat needs any kind of special attention or treatment!”
“We had such a great experience! He took amazing care of our kitties and sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away, which we loved. He’s super friendly, reliable, and genuinely such a great person. We felt totally comfortable leaving our kitties with him and would 100% book with him again!”
“Mary was great with Junie, my 4 month old kitten. She made sure to feed her twice a day, scoop her litter, and just play with her. I can tell Junie really enjoyed having her around (and as a bonus, was tired when I got home from my 5 hour car drive!!).”
“Jacquie is literally the best Rover experience I have ever had. She is completely thorough and detailed oriented, which is absolutely crucial for caring our fur babies. She takes this job very seriously and I am really happy with her service. I wish she could stay longer so I can keep hiring her for my babies.”
“Corrie is an angel! My kitties fell in love with her and it was clear to me that they were in fantastic hands. I came home to happy little fur babies and a spotless home. I so appreciated all the updates and sweet pictures.”
“Iuliia was the best! Very kind and attentive. She asked questions where relevant to make sure my cats were getting the best care and followed my instructions to the letter. Will definitely be asking that she watches the cats again next time I need to be out of town. Thank you!!”
“Once again, Gabriela did an amazing job watching my cat for a week! I highly recommend her services. I could tell from the regular updates and photos that my cat quickly fell in love with Gabriela. Gabriela played with her, cuddled her, fed her, and made sure all of her needs were well taken care of. I am extremely grateful for the time, affection, and positive energy Gabriela gave to my cat, she went above and beyond to make my cat feel safe, secure, and happy. Gabriela was extremely professional and didn’t hesitate to reach out when needed. I had nothing to worry about with Gabriela watching her and could easily enjoy trip out of town. I highly recommend Gabriela and look forward to using her services again in the near future.”
“Appreciating Ally’s consistency and effort through a big travel period in my life. Even though my cat is… shall we say, difficult?… Ally provides her daily contact that ensures she doesn’t get too stressed/anxious while I am gone. Thanks for caring for Rocky, Ally!”
“Roxanne was amazing! She was so detailed in her notes and sent so many pictures of the cats, I felt like I was there. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely use her again!!!”
“Jackson did such an amazing job with my cat! I got lots of cute photos and he followed all directions. My cat is a very social cat and needs social engagement and Jackson was perfect with him! I will definitely have him back when I’m traveling again!”

“Jacquie was very sweet from the start. Asking all the right questions for Willy’s first time meeting her. She gave me great updates throughout the day, and effortlessly accommodated when I had to ask for a later pick up time. Willy was so sad when we were leaving. We can’t wait to go back!”
“Ally took great care of my anxious dog on very short notice! She was very accommodating of his specific needs and very communicative. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: As a lifetime animal lover, I've had the pleasure of being a pet parent, rescue pup foster mom, and repeat sitter for friends & family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and many different medical needs. I work from home, so I will be with your pup the majority of the time. I do not have a yard but I take multiple daily dog walks (plus a final potty break before bed). I'm centrally located in Denver and live with one 65-lb mixed breed dog and a small bird (caged while around dogs). My dog has welcomed a variety of other dogs into our home and has always been very friendly. I live across from a park, which is perfect for meet-and-greets with other dogs on neutral ground. I allow my dog on furniture and I don't feed her from the table. I am happy to keep consistent with rules and habits you prefer your dog to follow! In case of emergency, I have go-to vets for both regular and 24-hour care but am happy to default to your preferred vet.
“My dog Charlie can be a bit hesitant with strangers but Annalese and Garrett helped her feel at ease. They were easy to communicate with and sent lots of photos!”
“Winnie had a great time at Jessica’s house playing with Reggie and Frankie! Great backyard to explore, and great communication. Would definitely book again!”
“If I could give Doby more stars I would! She saved our pup from a day of fire alarm testing in our building on such short notice. It was such a relief to know that he had a great day with lots of snuggling and adventures. Loved the many updates and pictures she sent throughout the day too. He didn’t want to leave her when we picked him up! Thank you Doby for loving on our boy today!”
“Regina helped us watch our girl for the afternoon while we continued exploring with our little ones. It was a last minute decision and it worked out great. Beezus got a nice city walk in and some warm snuggles. Thank you again!”
“Aaron was amazing with our pup! Our dog was worn out when he came home from day care and he got so much love throughout the day. I almost felt bad picking him up because they grew such a tight bond! We will definitely be reaching out again, our boy has a favorite!!”
“Jess has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Flora, for our weekly care. Flora became instantly comfortable with Jess and her family because they treat her like one of their own. Jess is flexible, very responsive, and incredibly trustworthy. I feel completely comfortable leaving my pup with her, knowing she’s in such good hands. I’m so grateful to have found someone Flora loves and feels so comfortable with!”
“Jeff was able to accommodate our last minute booking request. Oats spent 1/2 a day with him and I don’t think he’d want it any other way! Jeff provided great notes, photos, and lots of attention to Oats. We will definitely book again without hesitation! 😊”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, horses, guides pigs, and bunnies since I was 10! Growing up in a big animal family I fostered rescue puppies, cats, and small animals (guniea pigs, bunnies, reptiles) of all kinds for over 10 years. I would love to know what makes your furry friend happiest whether that be long walks, belly rubs, treats, toys, or training! I do not shy away from elderly animals and I have experience providing medicine and other services to pets of all kind. I work remote during the week and I am available on the weekends! I can also do evening walks 7 days a week and over nights. I would love to meet your furry friend where they are most comfortable. If that is in your home great! I have no problems and will be sure to be mindful of your pet/home needs.
“Jessica was great! She was very responsive and great with our shy pup. She was willing to do a meet up before the first daycare day, which was so appreciated. She provided detailed Rover cards. Our puppy didn't want to say goodbye on his last day! Would book again - thank you, Jessica!”
“Torre took excellent care of my senior dog, giving her meds and following lots of "special instructions." She communicated well with me throughout the day and sent lots of reassuring pictures. I would use her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.”

About: Just as no two people are alike, every animal needs tailored care and attention. Whether your pet is a puppy needing an active walk or a senior cat who prefers quiet companionship, my goal is to create a reliable environment where they feel safe and seen. I operate with a flexible daily schedule, making me available for consistent midday walks, last minute drop ins, or multi-visit vacation requests here in the LoHi/Highland area. I treat the process of meeting an animal for the first time with immense respect. During our initial meet & greet, I focus on establishing a baseline they can trust. My Experience: • Medical Care: Competent in administering various types of medications (oral, topical, etc). • All-Weather Walks: Ready to provide structured, safe exercise around your local neighborhood or parks. • Basic Grooming: Happy to assist with brushing, bathing, or wiping down paws. • Cats & Dogs: Grew up surrounded by both cats and dogs, giving me a deep understanding of their boundaries and body language. I look forward to meeting you and your pet to build a lasting routine they can count on. I have a flexible schedule and can visit your home during the day or night. Let me know what you need, and we can work something out. My priority is to maintain a secure environment by respecting your household rules and adhering to your specific instructions. I actively monitor your pet’s emotional cues and body language, finding natural moments to gain their trust, whether through play or calm moments. For pets requiring extra attention, such as aging seniors, anxious rescues, or pets recovering from illness, I ensure their care is meticulous and empathetic. I accommodate slow walks, frequent bathroom breaks, and specific medication schedules. As a lifelong pet owner, I have navigated unexpected medical emergencies with both my own and other people's animals. In these moments, I act urgently, logically, and calmly. My Safety Commitments: • Door Darting: I always block the door frame with my body when entering or exiting to prevent door darting. • Gear Checks: I verify that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are properly fitted and secure before stepping outside. • Distraction-Free Walking: My phone is only used to log your Rover Card or take photos; my eyes remain on your dog and the surrounding environment. • Local Vet: I will verify your preferred vet location during our initial meet & greet. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and establishing a routine both of you can count on.
“Diego has been walking our pup a few days a week for several weeks now and we couldn’t be happier!

About: I've always taken care of animals growing up. I've had many dogs, cats, and fish. Taking care of them and making their lives more full has always been something I enjoy. I'm free to take care of your animals most weekdays from the early morning until 4 when I go visit my mom and go to the gym I love playing with dogs and going on walks. I'm used to picking up after animals from years of taking care of and training puppies.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s individual personality. I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I’m happy to tailor walks, playtime, and care to what makes your pet happiest. I’m reliable, attentive, and will treat your pet like they’re my own! Plus, you can absolutely expect plenty of updates and cute pictures while they’re with me! And treats if allowed of course :) BACKGROUND CHECK FRIENDLY I work remotely from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or house sitting. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention rather than leaving them alone for long stretches, and I’m happy to work around their normal routine as much as possible. I can always work on the go and will communicate my meeting schedule with you, so you know exactly what periods of the day I’ll need to be focused on work. Outside of those times, my schedule is very flexible, so I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep their feeding, walking, and potty routine consistent, and make sure they’re comfortable in my care. I live in an apartment, so pets staying with me will get regular walks and outdoor breaks. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know how they’re doing. I take this more seriously than anything! Your pet will become part of my family and I will always put their needs and safety first. All photos in my gallery are friends and family dogs that I care for regularly.

Thanks again, Chantel!!”
About: Hi, I’m Natalie! I love animals and have always been my friends’ and neighbors’ go-to petsitter. I hope to have another dog of my own when the time is right, but in the meantime I have lots of love and attention to give to your pet ◡̈ I have experience working with dogs of all temperaments, and will always do my best to meet their needs accordingly. I am as happy to go on a leisurely walk with a mellow dog as I am to tire out a dog with endless energy. I am very respectful and considerate of other people’s homes. Having had pets of my own, I understand what it’s like to be away from them and always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I also love sending pictures and videos to clients so they can feel at peace knowing their pets are safe and happy :)
