“Tori was incredibly loving of my dog and sent lots of photos throughout my trip. She made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Very grateful.”

“Ruby had the BEST time with Stefanie & Ben and their boys! I’m so glad she had company throughout the day, and she had lots of walks and cuddle time. Their house is a perfect and super clean place with a huge and lovely backyard. We received lots of updates, and I was never left wondering how she was doing. I can’t wait to use Stefanie and fam again for our girl while we’re away!”

“They took great care of my dog and kept me updated while I was away. I had other meet and greets and none felt right until I found Megan and Aaron! I will be using them again!”

“Emily is a lifesaver! She was able to adjust for our crazy travel issues and was always so kind about changes in plans. Ollie loves her and bolted out the car to run into her yard to start playing with his ball. She sends us frequent updates and loves him. We feel great about her watching him while we’re away.”

“Mary Jo is amazing! Our girl was treated like family, and we enjoyed the photo updates. We’re so glad to have have found her, and look forward to booking another stay for our pup again soon.”


“Summer was amazing!!!! Sent tons of pictures throughout the stay. I could tell she loved Gabby as if she were her own!!! Will use her again for sure!!!”

“Noemi was fantastic!!!! I had a 2 week vacation and Thiago stayed at her place. He played, he went on walks. My baby boy Thiago was sooooo tired after I picked him up....he literally went straight sleep jajaja. Noemi sent pictures and uodates daily (without me having to request them), she also sent videos of him. Thiago was very well taken care off and she basically took care of him like he was hers. I will.keep her as Thiago's official babysitter and Auntie for sure!!! Noemi is a great person, I got to meet her briefly before I left him with her and she was so warm and friendly. She has a small dog who is also a cutie. Throughout my vacation she kwpt in constant communicatiin and she made me feel super at ease. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER. Nowmi, thank you sooo much for loving and caring for Thiago. Im sure he would love to hang out with you again. Hapoy 2026!”

“Molly was so great to work with! She paid meaningful attention to detail when it came to my dog’s routines and quirks. I really appreciated the daily updates and photos she sent me! I know my dog was well taken care of.”

“Tiffany communicated very well and kindly walked us through everything since it was our first boarding experience with a Rover. She was also very flexible when we asked to move our drop off time up a few hours. Overall, Deacon was very happy with her and so were we :)”

“The best of the best!! Finn and I are so grateful for you❤️❤️❤️ thank you for taking the best care of him while I am away it gives me such peace of mind.”


“Kelly came and checked on our cat while we were out of town and we’re so happy with how it went! Our cat often hides under the bed when sitters come, but Kelly made him comfortable enough that he came out and even let her give him some pets :). She has been lovely and responsive throughout all of our interactions, and sent helpful updates with photos when doing her check-ins. We’ll definitely be booking with Kelly again!”

“Tiffani has been caring for our cat for over two years and has always been wonderful! Now our cat needs medication at the same time twice a day and she has been so great at giving it to him! I highly recommend Tiffani to care for your pets :)”


“Karen has been above and beyond during her visits to take care of our cat. She made sure everything was in order by messaging during our absence and really made effort to bond with our cat. Definitely recommend her for pet needs!”

“Elizabeth took great care of my cat while I’m out of town for the holidays! Super responsive and gave my cat a lot of attention and provided the cutest pictures and updates!”

“Olivia was great with my boys (two ragdolls) ! It was my first time using Rover and I wasn’t sure how it would all go but she was wonderful, timely, and a great communicator. Felt good knowing someone who cared was looking after them while I was out of town and would absolutely hire her again. Thank you, Olivia!”


“Anytime we can book Allysia, we are so happy! She is the best pet and house sitter, and knowing that she will be stopping by every day provides us with so much relief. We really feel that we can trust her to take care of our kitties and our plants (the latter of which is really no easy task as we have hundreds). She is thoughtful, communicative, flexible to last minute travel changes, gentle with pets, able to administer medication and inhalers, and sends great photos and detailed updates. You can tell she has our pets’ best interests in mind and she is super reliable!”


“Grace was amazing! She took such great care of Manny for the week, was very communicative and sent regular pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend and look forward to booking with her again :)”

“We were glad Cindy was able to watch our cat while we were out of town for the 4th. She always takes the time to play with Lucille and it’s great to know we don’t have to worry about her getting too lonely while we’re gone. Thanks Cindy!”


“Summer was fantastic! From our initial meeting, it was clear that she genuinely cared about our furry baby. Communication with her was easy, and she followed all my instructions and the feeding schedule perfectly. She even sent pictures while we were away, which was very reassuring. When we returned, our cat was happy and relaxed. I am pretty sure he completely forgot about us. We would definitely book Summer again!”


“Erika is AMAZING with our cat! She took great care of him (and our home), probably better than we do hah! She looked for ways to keep him entertained and whether it was toys, play, or scritches and gave us detailed summaries. I will absolutely rebook with Erika and continue to trust in her experience and judgement for a tranquil/secure sitter experience!”

“Chloe was communicative and reliable, and most importantly, loved our kitties well! We are so grateful for the peace of mind she provided to us while we were out of town. Thank you so much!”

“Megan was so great with our cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. Our kitties have somewhat complicated care requirements and Megan was more than happy to accommodate us. She was very communicative throughout the whole experience, and even helped with some light house keeping. We are excited to use her again in the future!”
“Karington took amazing care of my two Maine Coons. She's obsessed with them, and they're obsessed with her! Will definitely be working with Karington again. She's the best.”


“Kirstin was nothing but amazing with everything she did while taking care of my cats while I was out of town. She even catered to my senior kitty who just got diagnosed with kidney disease, while he spent most of her visit in the shower because he’s obsessed with water. And also made sure my other cat got his outside time too. She truly treats your animals like they are your own and is so caring. Highly recommend Kirstin for all of your rover needs!”


“I had a wonderful experience with Maria. She took excellent care of my cats while I was away and gave me such peace of mind throughout the entire time. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals.”

“Sydney is amazing! My kitten can be nervous around new people and Sydney took the time to get him to come out from his hiding spots and play. He was happy and well cared for when I got home. Highly recommend and will be asking Sydney for sitting again!!”

“Micah took wonderful care of Momo. As an avid user of Rover, I can say that she is professional and went above and beyond for me and my dog. My dog suffers from separation anxiety, but she made sure he was comfortable during his Rover stay. She responds and communicates well. I work crazy hours and she was able to accommodate us when we had a last minute cancellation. Throughout my dog’s stay, she gave me updates and plenty of pictures. Her service is top notch!”

“I can't speak highly enough about Mark. His intake process is well thought out and thorough. I'm a first time dog owner and he has already given me great insight into my dog. I can tell through his questions and our conversations that he is mindful and intentional in all of his interactions with Sam and the other dogs he cares for. A true dog lover. Sam already has multiple reoccurring bookings with Mark.”

“Felecia is a true godsend! I was so grateful to have found her and that she responded immediately to my request to care for my dear Monty with very short notice for a couple of days. It was such a relief to know he was so well taken care of while I had to do business during a very stressful time. I really appreciated the communications and photos assuring my puppy was happy and having a good time while I was away. I felt very relieved to have a place for him to have the love and attention that he needs and grateful to know I can call on Felecia whenever the need may arise in the future.”

“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!”

“Jason took great care of our puppy Oak while we were moving. He took Oak for multiple walks each day and he kept us updated with pictures throughout the day. Jason was flexible and accommodating with our schedule. Oak seemed very comfortable with Jason. Overall he is a great sitter!”

“Lauryn is fantastic. She takes great care of my 5 month old puppy. The updates are super fun to see. You can tell she really loves animals in the way she cares for them. Definitely recommend!!”

“Sophie was so wonderful towards my pup! I hadn’t realized she was sick when I dropped her off one day but she was so patient with her and understanding. My dog loved going to her house in the morning and she was always happy to see Sophie!”

“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! 😊”

“Sophie is top notch!! She has been so great with my anxious husky and my girl has been so comfortable with her. She sends photos of walking the dogs and her little dog is so friendly. Thanks for the amazing care Sophie!”

“My dog loves Annie! She is super reliable, flexible and prompt. She's great at responding to texts and updating with lots of pictures! I have a high energy blue heeler pup who is still finding her routine. Annie tires her out big time. At the beginning my dog was having a hard time adjusting to the change and had a few accidents at Annie's. Annie was super understanding and was willing to try different things to try and help her! Annie is the best!”

“Lindsay and Joshua are just the nicest people. They were able to accommodate us on such short notice and they took amazing care of my baby. Thank you two!”

“A tired dog is a good dog, and Ethan came home exhausted from his playtime with Julia! I appreciate all the photos showing what a good day he had. Looking forward to booking again!”

“Stephanie is great! She's very conscientious -- she will often bring in packages on my porch when she arrives to walk Perla. She's also a great communicator and takes great care of Perla. We are lucky to have her!”

“Rachel has been a huge help in getting our two pups some much needed outdoor time. They are so happens when she arrives. She has come prepared and sends great photos to us during their walks. We can't wait to see her again soon!”

“This is our second time using Chloe and she was great! Our pup Bodie really likes her and we appreciated the time she spent to cuddle and play with him after the walk!”

About: I recently had to say goodbye to both of my dogs due to age-related issues, and I’m still adjusting to a quieter home and life without them. While I’m not ready to get another dog of my own just yet, I’d love the opportunity to care for yours while you’re away. I work from home when I’m not traveling internationally for work, which allows me to provide attentive and consistent care. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone new—I’ve had both wonderful and not-so-great experiences with sitters myself—so I truly value building trust and giving you peace of mind. I’m comfortable caring for: * Shy or slow-to-warm-up dogs * Reactive dogs * Dogs with medical needs, including administering medications and insulin My home has a fenced-in backyard, or I’m happy to house-sit if your pet is more comfortable staying in their own environment. I also offer cat sitting in your home (my house may not be the best fit for cats due to living on an active street). I’d love to meet beforehand to make sure I’m a great fit for you and your pets! PS. My profile name says Adria but I actually go by my middle name, Ellie. I work from home and can hang out with your pets and be available for potty breaks, medication, etc during the day and night or as needed. I have a large fenced-in yard to hang out in. I'm also okay with animals in bed and on the furniture. I want your pets to feel at home in my home.

About: Leaving your animal in someone else's care can be a scary experience, but with my services there's no need to worry! I have experience with all ages, breeds, sizes, and energy levels of cats and dogs. I have 3 years of professional experience with pet sitting, and over 4 years of experience caring for cats and dogs. I specialize in dogs and cats who are reactive, overly energetic, fearful, or have behavioral difficulties, and I can work through any issues with positive reinforcement. My motto is that there are no bad animals! Book me for your animal today, I am also available for the holidays. I'm a college student and I have classes during the week, but I live off campus currently and am much more flexible in my day-to-day life. I take animal safety and hygiene seriously, and will follow any special requests for cleanliness that my clients request, within reason. I am committed to making sure my clients animals are well taken care of.
“Hannah was amazing, she took care of my dogs and went above and beyond for me what I asked her to do. She send messages and responded promptly. I recommend her , as I had and amazing experience.”


“We had a great experience with Paige! She was excellent at communicating before, during, and after every walk, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. She always left thoughtful updates about what they worked on together and how things went. Our dog is a newly adopted shelter pup with lots of energy, and it was clear she genuinely cared about giving her the attention, structure, and care she needs. You can tell she truly loves dogs and takes her work seriously. We really appreciated her patience, reliability, and the effort she put into helping our rambunctious boy thrive. Highly recommend!”


“Melissa walked our two dogs while we were on vacation. She met with us beforehand and was great about communication before/during our trip, despite a lot of changes to the plan as we worked out details beforehand. Our dogs seemed to love her!”
“Valerie is flexible, kind and professional! She did a wonderful job with June and Owen, who can be a little bit challenging on leash. Owen is recently adopted and Valerie was up for the challenge of helping me integrate him into our family during walkies!”

“Chloe was fantastic! She was communicative, punctual, and took into account all of Gannon’s needs including helping train him while he passed other dogs which is very exciting for him. I will definitely call her again! Thanks Chloe!”

“5 stars all the way. Richard was communicative at all phases, and was a wonderful help to our pup and family while I was traveling for work. Will definitely be booking Richard for pup care again!”


About: Since 2023, I have dogsat for two very large and energetic Golden Retrievers, two large Barbets, and a 16 year old Bichon. These experiences with various sizes, ages, and energy levels taught me to balance multiple pets at once, keep up with high energy dogs, and address health issues and medications. I also own a miniature dachshund rescue named Cookie who is very anxious and easily frightened, which has given me a lot of experience working with dogs with trauma and trouble trusting humans. I am not currently employed in Denver as I just graduated from Cal Poly in June. I have a lot of flexibility this summer and will not be starting classes again until September, so for these upcoming months I am very free! Once classes start, I am happy to continue sitting for established clients. My home: - 1/2 acre fenced yard with lots of room to run around and a spacious inside with hardwood floor. - Patio with umbrellas and shade - Patch of turf if preferred - Direct access to a walking path near Hoffman Park in Greenwood Village. - No other dogs in the home. All dogs in a new space will want to explore so I would monitor closely, but still allow them to sniff around and get used to the yard. Your home: I will read over all requirements (feeding time/amount, how long to stay, walks, etc) and text with any clarifying questions. In both my home and yours, I would love to send pictures and updates of your dogs for your peace of mind!

About: There’s no animal I won’t love. I’ll make sure your kiddo is always a happy wiggly butt before I leave. All types of animals have always been apart of my family and I have regular clients off of Rover that can give references. From the easiest kiddos to the wild and crazy ones, I can handle them. I work from home! My schedule is extremely flexible, making it easy to get you scheduled and am available for a short notice need also. I am also available for regular weekly walks. I’ve had 4 clients that I have walked for 4 years at a time multiple days every week. Whether you have a fenced in yard and your fury kid just needs some play time or they need a long/short walk, I’m your guy. I’ve lived in houses with plenty space in the back yard and apartments that don’t have much space, so I know what it’s like to have to find ways to get your kiddos the exercise and playtime they need. My Great Dane/lab mix would vouch for me :) I’ll make sure regardless the environment that your kiddo is safe and happy. I also have plenty experience taking care of cats through rover and for friends. I have one of my own so I understand their needs. I love playing with cats and giving them extra lovings.

Upon my return I could tell my boys were in good hands due to the way they mere still loving Jackie's presence. To this day when my boys see Jackie and Reese they are over the moon with joy. I am going to continue to use Jackie for my all pets sitter needs. Thank you Jackie and Resse. - Patric, Rook & Korri”
