“Kristy and Nathan did a good job taking care of both my dogs. They really care about the wellbeing of the pets and it really shows once you meet them. They were very communicative and responsive throughout their stay.”
“Tiffany was amazing! I have a pretty high maintenance cat who enjoys playing, cuddling, and being around people in general! She has a cat room with a litter box, cat tree, and a bunch of cat toys. Initially when I did the meet and greet she said she sent a picture a day, and even though Sirius-Snape’s visit was short she sent me pictures at least 2-3 times a day! If you really need someone to watch cat or dog, then I would highly recommend Tiffany! Tiffany, is also very flexible with drop off, and pick up, is very communicative, and can tell that she loves watching cats, and dogs. I couldn’t have found a better person to watch my cat Sirius-Snape for a long weekend!”
“Janet was a wonderful sitter for Koba. She has a fantastic backyard and Koba had a blast playing fetch and rolling around in the snow. Janet provided tons of pictures and videos and I could tell that he was well taken care of. Highly recommended and I hope Koba can vacation with her again.”
“Liz and her partner have been awesome as always. We are so grateful to have them to watch our pup. We get photo updates and she is quick to respond if we have any questions. It’s clear she loves our dog as her own!”
“My dogs had a wonderful stay with Stefanie and Ben. Not worrying about my dogs when I’m on vacation is peace of mind. I love that they allow them on the couch. It makes them feel comfortable just like at home. We will definitely be coming back for more visits. I can’t wait until it’s nice out so they can run and play in the big back yard.”
“Shawna is so amazing and took great care of my pup. She was attentive, communicative, and just all around the best!!! I will definitely book again and would recommend her to anyone I know!”
“Becky and Molly are the sweetest hosts! Our little senior, blind girl was well loved while we were gone and the pictures and updates Becky provided were much appreciated. 💗”
“Danielle was wonderful! She was able to see my Lady super last minuet. She updated me while I was away and my dog seemed like she truly enjoyed her time with her! Thank you Danielle!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Dee with Carly and Hunter. They are so kind and willing to adapt to Dee’s quirks. It was my first time leaving her with a sitter and the frequent updates were very helpful and reassuring!”
“Barbara provided a loving home for our pup while we were away. She was responsive, communicative, and took excellent care of our girl. This freed us up to enjoy our time away knowing she was in such good care. We will be booking Barbara every time we need care in the future! Thank you again Barbara!”
“Thomas took wonderful care of my energetic pup, Wally and kept me posted on all the fun things he was up to throughout his stay! I felt comfortable leaving him knowing he was in the hands of a true dog lover”
“Jessica and John were so wonderful with my dog. They were responsive and sent so many photos and videos which made me feel more comfortable while I was away. I will definitely book with them again!”
“Monica is an excellent sitter. Our dog boarded with her for nearly 2 weeks and he was top shape when he came back. When we brought him to her he had some minor health issues (eye infection, skin irritation) that required some attention and medications that she very nicely provided. She also enjoyed playing with him, bringing him for walks, and in a safe park for runs. He is missing her for sure! I recommend Monica 100%!”
“Norma was Amazing! I was very comfortable leaving My "Apollo" in her care. I felt like he was on Vacation at the same time I was on Vacation, he Loved her Catio! Norma sent Me pictures and I Loved to see how they had bonded! I highly recommend Norma and look forward to more Vacations now that I have found such a Wonderful Pet Sitter!”
“Aleks and her family were great. They gave my dog, Rosco, a loving home and exercised him well. They listened well to the care instructions and I felt very comfortable with them watching Rosco. I will be using them again!”
“Mercy was an excellent sitter and I had so much peace of mind with my dog being there with her and her dogs. She was very proactive, communicative and kind. I will absolutely use her again!”
“2nd time booking with Blake - GREAT communication and flexibility. He's my go-to sitter. I know the dogs are safe and well taken care of! He sends tons of pics, which is so great.”
“I’m always a little nervous leaving my dogs with anyone, especially since I have a 9 month old puppy and a 3 year old Miniature Pinscher. But Katya was amazing. She took such great care of them and kept me updated with regular photos and messages, which really helped ease my mind while we were away for 4 days. Both dogs came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious they got plenty of attention and were treated like part of the family, not just watched. I would absolutely book with Katya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and attentive.”
“Spencer took great care of Chester and provided daily video updates where I observed Chester having such an amazing time! Spencer’s passion for being a caregiver was evident, and I will definitely book again on my next business trip.”

“Jessica took wonderful care of our baby. This was our first time being away since he lost his brother, so we were a little worried about how he would do. Jessica sent thoughtful updates and plenty of photos, which really put our minds at ease. Her communication went a long way in helping us feel comfortable while we were gone. We’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time we need care!”
“Stephanie took wonderful care of my cat while I was away! She was very thorough and made sure he had everything he needed. She also gave him lots of cuddles. I would recommend her to all my friends and family looking for a pet sitter. Thank you for everything Stephanie 😊 until next time!”
“I’m a first-time pet owner. When you leave town and need a sitter, you’re not only looking for someone who will be conscientious and affectionate toward your pet, but also respect the safety and integrity of your home. From start to end, Sean inspired confidence and gave me peace of mind. I’ll be soliciting his help again.”
“Grace was an amazing sitter, super communicative the whole time and kept me totally in the loop. My cat was very well cared for and happy, and I will absolutely continue booking her!”
“Kelly was fantastic. Super communicative, reliable, understanding of our cat’s individualized needs and behavioral challenges, and was game to figure it out so that she could deliver the care needed. We will definitely work with her again.”
“Denise was amazing! Very communicative and went out of her way to make sure my pet was taken of. I really appreciate her time and effort during our vacation away!”
“Gary was friendly, communicative, and professional! I appreciated the thoroughness of his rover cards and would feel comfortable booking him to watch my kitty again :)”
“Kate is the best pet sitter! She went above and beyond to care for my cat, making sure my cat was well-fed, comfortable, and happy. I truly appreciate Kate’s attention to detail and the love she showed.”
“Jennifer is the only person I would trust with my kitty crew! I appreciate all of her photos, stories and love shared towards my babies. Having her watch my kitties is like being home yourself (she might actually play with them more than even we do!). Thank you for all you do, Jennifer!”
About: I have been petsitting since I was 10 years old. My neighbors have trusted me with their dogs, cats, snakes, and even hedgehogs! I have consistently been working in pet care every summer and winter break since middle school, taking care of animals with different needs and levels of care required. I can check in on pets, go for long walks or slow ones depending on their energy level, have them stay at my house, or stay over with them in their own home. I have experience managing various medications for elderly and sick pets as well. I have complete freedom to plan around your needs when I am in the Denver area. However, I will not be in town the whole Summer, so it would be good to know dates in advance so that I can plan around pet care opportunities in advance! I have a fenced in backyard as well as walkable neighborhood around my house including close proximity to parks. I do not have any pets in my house, so your animal will be guaranteed all of my attention! I have three other roommates, who will be in and out of the house, and they are all excited and happy to host pets in our house this Summer.
“Lauren is amazing!!! She is super friendly, professional and we were really able to enjoy ourselves knowing Bowie was in good hands. We loved her through updates and photos after each check-in. Overall great communication throughout the week. We will absolutely be booking Lauren as a sitter again! Highly recommend!!”
“Cassi is the best! She took great care of my two cats, sent notes & pictures every day, followed all care instructions & even did some extra care for them. I have booked her multiple times & would completely recommend.”
“Nelson was a wonderful pet sitter for my kitty Archie! My kitty is usually very shy and hides from strangers, but right from the start he was at ease with Nelson. Not only did he send pictures of Archie throughout his stay, he was clearly very kind and attentive to him—when I returned Archie was happy and healthy. He even sent me a cute Archie wearing a Santa hat picture on Christmas—it was adorable. Nelson really went above and beyond as a pet sitter—he was very communicative and is clearly an animal lover. I would highly recommend him and will be booking him on my next trip away!!!”
“Charlotte watched our cats while we were away. She did a great job. Kept me updated with messages and pictures. I would definitely recommend her services!!!”
“Ally is wonderful! Highly recommend her. I’ve used her a couple times now to house sit my cat while I’ve been away on extended vacations. When I come home he always seems very relaxed and well taken care which eases my nerves about leaving him.”

“Felecia cares deeply for the animals she sees. She takes time to understand their needs and routines. High maintenance dogs or dogs that haven't been trained are not a deal breaker for her. I was very worried about bringing my dog over since he can be a handful, but Felecia was willing to take care of him. She gave me thorough feedback about his stay when I picked him up. Your dog is in good hands with her.”
“Lauren was an amazing sitter for Pascha. She was communicative and kept me updated throughout the day and was also very flexible. Pascha had a great time at doggie day care at Lauren’s and was excited to go each day - which says something considering she’s a sassy Shiba. I’d definitely recommend your dog stay with Lauren, they will have a great time and will be in good hands.”
“Jen, Jim, their daughter, and their pup all really went out of their way to make sure Harper had a great first day with them. Harper especially loved snuggling and exploring their incredible backyard. 10/10 recommend!”
“Emely has watched our previous senior pup and was very accommodating - so we wanted to have her watch our new pup too! He is very shy and she was very patient with him and provided walks treats and play time. Thanks Emely!”
“Liz is wonderful! Such a kind person, and very communicative. She takes great care of our puppy, and is open to additional instructions/special care. I feel confident leaving my puppy with her for the day.”
“Blake was great! Moose was always so excited in the mornings to get dropped off. He always came home happy and tired. Blake was responsive and very flexible with my difficult schedule. Your furry friends are in great care with Blake!”
“My girl is very shy and I was worried about her first time going to day care, but after our meet and greet it was clear that she was going to have fun and be well taken care of! Manuela has a love and passion for doggies and it is very clear and I’m so happy to see someone else care and love for my baby just as I would while I’m gone. She often texted me updated throughout the day, talked to me at pick up about how she was and was really flexible with pick up and drop off times! Ramona will be visiting again even if it’s just to have some play time with Lucy and Joey! For the first time using this app and first time having a dog sitter, Manuela was perfect! 10/10 def recommend! Thank you Manuela for everything! Ramona says thank you too!”
“Tammie was AMAZING! I needed last minute doggy daycare and an early morning drop-off and she was willing to accommodate! She sent me gorgeous photos of both dogs that could be used for modeling! They were relaxed and had a lot of fun in Tammie’s care! I highly recommend her!!”
“CJ just completed a doggie daycare service with my 10yr old disabled chihuahua, and based on my first experience, I would certainly rebook with her and recommend others with senior special need dogs do the same. Even with her other three dogs, the home environment is very calm and welcoming. CJ sent photos during the day-long visit, and when I returned, my baby girl was relaxed and content in CJ's care. Thank you, CJ!”
“Needed to secure a safe place at the last moment and am grateful I found Anna: she was receptive to a same-day request, accommodated a brief dog meet, and was patient with my speed-recitation for my Pup. My Dog was only there a few hours but her tail was high and she was relaxed when I picked her up. A good experience! Thanks.”
“Our dog, Ace, is almost 14 yrs old and Mercy is so good with him. He has some mobility and hearing issues and she is so gentle and calm with him, He is comfortable at her home and there is easy access to the backyard. Thank you, Mercy!!”
“Sarah is amazing! She was very accommodating, incredibly sweet to my fur baby, and so understanding when he was feeling anxious. It was his first time away from our family and when we picked him up he was in such a great mood. We got the best pictures and it felt so good to know he was in good hands. I HIGHLY recommend Sarah!”
“Barbara has been great watching our puppy Bogey! Her communication is terrific and she genuinely enjoys taking care of him. Would definitely recommend!”
“Thomas was great! He did a meet and greet which made us more comfortable, was really sweet with Mingo, responsive to messages and gave us updates throughout. We will definitely book again!”
About: I love caring for pets of all kinds and make sure every furry friend feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs, and I’m great at following routines, giving medications, and keeping tails wagging. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure your pet gets plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles. I prioritize pet care as part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day includes walks or playtime, feeding, and attention to each pet’s specific needs. I also keep up with any medications or special instructions, and I maintain a consistent routine so pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I provide attentive care whether it’s in my home or at the client’s home. In both settings, I follow feeding schedules, give plenty of playtime, administer medications if needed, and provide lots of love and attention. I also make sure the environment is safe and comfortable, and I keep clients updated with messages or photos so they know their pets are happy and cared for.

“Over the past 5 months Cassi has been my dog walker. She has been taking care of Mia since she was an 11 week old puppy and has been exceptional. She reinforced all of the training techniques that I have been working on with her, she responds to messaging very quickly and able to get me out of a few binds, gives Mia a good workout to burn all of her puppy energy and also leaves her treats in her kong. I truly can't thank her enough and wish she was able to follow us to our new home.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover for as long as I can remember and have been a dog mom to 5 of my own, in addition to a few fosters. I currently have 2 medium sized dogs, an Aussiedoodle and an Aussie/cattle dog mix. I’ve also had several large dogs and am comfortable with pups of all sizes. When I was an elementary school teacher, I often dog sat for friends and family on my breaks. This included helping with feedings, walks, outside/play time, and check ins throughout the day. I volunteered with a rescue in my hometown from 2016-2024 and am passionate about dogs. I am not currently working, so I have lots of downtime to help care for pets. I am an early riser and can provide care throughout the day and evening as needed. Because I have pets of my own, I am not able to provide overnight care at this time. I am conscientious and careful and appreciate clear instructions so that I can give the best care to your pet. As a pet parent, I know it can be hard to entrust their care to someone new, and I am adamant about providing a safe and loving environment.
“Todd is awesome! He made time to meet us for a meet and greet last minute and is super responsive. He also sends the best pictures of our high energy pup on walks! We will definitely continue to request walks from Todd!”
“Aria is so great! She does great report cards, is communicative and tires out my little black lab on the days I have to be in the office, which is a huge help. Highly recommend booking her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for my family and friends for years, I have been relied on to walk, feed, and bathe their pets since the beginning. It is one of core values to be a trustworthy and responsible person especially when it comes to caring for animals. I am currently a full time college student who also works part-time! So it is very possible to fit your fur babies needs into my schedule! For the summer I am available most weekdays and weekends after 12! I have been around dogs for my entire life and understand how much trust there needs to be in a relationship between myself and my clients. I strive to make each visit with your pet a positive experience for you both.
“Nancy has been an amazing dog walker for us over the past two weeks. She is responsible, respectful, and punctual. Nancy is incredibly kind and helpful, and we felt completely at ease knowing our beloved Larry was in her care. Thank you, Nancy, for everything you’ve done we truly appreciate it. It was a pleasure having you take care of Larry!”
“Jenna was wonderful with my dog! She followed directions, communicated clearly, and went above and beyond when taking care of my dog. She made me feel very comforted that she was in good hands!”
“Erica is extremely reliable and communicative, and she takes great care of our dog! There was an issue with the Rover app (completely not Erica's fault) but she helped figure out a solution easily. We will happily continue to count on Erica!!”
About: I take myself on multiple long walks every day and nothing brings me more joy than providing fun and safety for another living thing, I've only ever lived with dogs thar belonged to my partners but loved and cared for them like my own and cherished every moment of their company. If you allow me the privilege of getting to know your little friend(s), I will bring every bit of that love to their time with me (and they'll never have to chase me down for a walk!) I work part time remotely on a flexible schedule so I am always available for last minute bookings and am never too busy to attend to pets if any issue comes up while they are in my care. I am always extremely respectful of others spaces and make sure to leave everything just as it was when I'm given the chance to care for the space, and religiously ensure that all pet care tasks are handled promptly, my favorite of which is playing with them and keeping them company!
About: While I am new to Rover, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so taking care of them comes really naturally to me. I grew up with dogs, which helped me learn a lot about their behavior, routines, and different personalities. I’m a huge animal lover with two HIGH energy dogs at home who are my very best friends!! I also have some experience pet sitting, including taking care of older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I have been pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was very young and so I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, whether they’re super energetic or more laid-back. I understand it can be nerve wracking to leave your fur babies with someone else, but it is my priority to make the experience as safe, comfortable, fun, and as easy as possible! I’m reliable, detail oriented, and I genuinely love being around animals and of course, you’ll get routine updates, photos, and active communication regarding how your pets are doing so you’ll never have to worry. Im excited at the opportunity to love your pet like they are my own and to make your pet as happy as possible while you’re away! Staying active is really important to me, both for my mental and physical health, as well as the pets I care for, so pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I love being able to combine that with caring for fur babies, especially giving energetic dogs the exercise, playtime, and attention they need. Regular check-ins are easy for me to fit in, and since I’m a college student with classes only two days a week, I have a flexible schedule. I try to keep things as normal as possible for every pet I watch so they don’t feel stressed while their owner is away. I’ll stick to their usual routine, but I also pay attention to the little things like how they’re acting, their energy level, or if something seems off. If anything changes, I’ll always play it safe and reach out right away instead of guessing. I prioritize mindfulness in other’s homes, double checking doors are locked, making sure anything your pet could get into is put away, and leaving everything how I found it.
“Graham and Brenda helped me out on a last minute need and were wonderful! I can't thank them enough for giving my pup a much needed walk while I was working extra hours.”
“I've booked Thomas to run with my large dog a couple times since a recent surgery won't allow me to exercise him myself for several weeks. He's always on time and really gets along great with my dog. They get a solid jog in and it keeps Gordie happy on days that I'm not able to get him out for an off-leash hike or dog park trip. Would recommend Thomas for all types of bookings, I'll definitely be booking him for more dog walks as long as he's available this Summer.”

“Elizabeth is clearly nuts about dogs and Rika adores her. Her dog, Rue, is such a good host and they provide a welcoming and comfortable space for dog visitors. And we really appreciate her big backyard! We’re so glad we have a reliable dog sitter. Rika gets excited when she knows she is going to see Elizabeth and Rue-she smiles big! Nights away are more fun when you’re not worrying about your dog!”
“Lindsay and Josh were awesome with Wolverine! I'm always nervous leaving him with new people, but I felt totally comfortable with them right away. They kept me in the loop, which was great! Wolverine is a high energy dog, seriously never stops, but he was actually exhausted when he got home – which is rare! Thanks so much for taking such amazing care of him!”
