“Joan is incredible! First time boarding my two dogs with her, and they arrived home happy and pleasantly tired from the daily walks and play time. Can’t wait for their next visit!”
“Emma was amazing with Curry! Her dogs even taught him how to howl 🥰 she included many photos and videos and Curry misses being there already, we can tell!! She will be our new go to sitter for him.”
“Mitzi and Klif are amazing! They always treat our dogs like their own and I can always tell that they have a great time when they’re with Mitzi and Klif. This time they took care of our 7 month old puppy. He loved hanging out with them and their dogs. We are so grateful to have such great and reliable care for Bodhi!”
“High praise for Nicole, Craig and family! Our Cozmo's first stay with this lovely family was a great success. He's kind of a homebody and mostly just wants to be near his humans, but he settled in very quickly. In fact, it almost seemed like he wanted to stay longer when we arrived to pick him up. We appreciated Nicole's excellent communication and flexibility with our schedule. We will definitely return. Thank you so much!”
“Cuzco loved being with Missy and Evan! I really appreciated the updates and pictures Missy sent. He looked so happy and relaxed. We definitely want Cuzco to stay here again!”
“Barbara was so sweet and kind to Leia. She let Leia explore her house and her yard (which Leia loves) and took care of her. Leia loved her time with Barbara and another dog Barbara was sitting. Barbara also constantly kept us updated with pictures. Leia had the best time in Colorado at Barbara's place.”
“Sandy & Chase were AMAZING! They took care of Leia while we went skiing. They sent several pictures, sometimes a few in a day along with little updates on how she was doing. We are so thrilled to have had such a great experience with our first time using Rover and leaving Leia. We will definitely use them again when we come out skiing! I can’t say enough about how grateful we are for such sweet care they gave Leia!”
“Stella had an amazing stay with Stephen and his family. It was a great experience all around and communication was great. Stella was taken very good care of and we would definitely use Stephen again for a sitter. Really appreciate how well she was taken care of! Thank you!”
“Sehwa and Adam were so great with my dog. They were flexible on timing and took great care of our older dog. They paid attention to her picky eating and somewhat limited mobility with her advanced age. Thank you!”
“Melinda was great! I feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her and plan on using her services again. She sent pics and updates, which was nice. Definitely recommend her services.”
“By all accounts Maple had a great time with Fred! I enjoyed the pictures and could tell she was in a dog lovers home! Peace of mind, while out of town, is priceless.”
“Larissa was AMAZING with my dog, Izzy. She did me a huge favor agreeing to watch her last minute and gave Izzy all the time and attention in the world. It was almost like Izzy got to go on vacation too. Highly recommend!”
“My pup Alvin had the best time with Alexandra and Jason! They provided lots of updates and I knew he was in great hands. They are a very active family and I felt so thankful for the care they provided. I would highly recommend!”
“Steve and Susan took great care of my pup, Luna. They have a big, beautiful backyard, but Luna is hard to please in that she doesn't play with toys, chase a ball, or run around the yard to burn energy. She absolutely lives for walks in the neighborhood--it's her most favorite thing in the world. They were accommodating and took her out on walks every day (even in bad weather a couple of those days!). All in all, a great first experience with Rover.”
“Bailey loved her stay with Kristin and Brant. It was nice to leave her where she had free run of the house and huge yard. The two dogs that they have are friendly and put up with Bailey's high energy. I got pictures and updates while out of town and it was comforting to know that Bailey was sleeping and eating well. I highly recommend them!”
“Eric took wonderful care of our 1 year old miniature schnauzer Gracie. He took her for walks every day and Gracie enjoyed playing with Eric's small dog in their fenced backyard. Eric provided us with photos and updates every day we were away, which provided us with reassurance that our Gracie was doing ok. He also spent time cuddling and playing with her. Thank you Eric for taking such great care of our fur baby.”

“Robyn was great, will definitely rebook in the future. She came for an initial meet and greet, and her level of communication during the engagement was great. She followed the feeding instructions to a tee and made sure our cat had food and water served in clean dishes. She also made sure to lock up our windows and doors securely after every visit. Thank you Robyn!!”
“Abby was quick to get aquatinted with our cats and did a great job! She even came over twice prior to us leaving to get to know Tinker and Pickles. She needed to give several medications and did very well with a challenging cat. She also helped out by watering a few plants which was appreciated very much! Would hire Abby again!!”

About: I live in Empire and work from home full time with some occasional travel here or there (just depends). There is a lot of flexibility in my job when I’m at home and I wanted to offer to anyone who has dogs, cats, or any other pets my services. I am available for pet sitting and/or house sitting—whether it’s quick drop-ins for your dog, cat during the day or overnight stays while you’re out of town. I’ve got experience with both and can be flexible depending on what you need. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions. If you’re looking for someone dependable and easy to work with, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to chat or answer any questions about myself! Best Regards, Alec I work full time on call M-F from 8:00-4:30 but I have flexibility to do other tasks during the day like to walk or let a dog out, administer medication etc. I make sure to get my work done everyday along with my other tasks at hand It varies by the pet and how much attention or exercise they are needing. If you have an animal that needs to burn off energy, I will do my best to do so wether it’s a hike, playing fetch or something else! If you have a low energy animal that wants to sit on the couch and sleep, that’s completely fine as well. I enjoy giving animals love and attention! I will make sure to follow proper feeding and medication schedules as needed I will treat your pet exactly how I would want mine to be treated and that is with love and respect ❤️
“Danielle did an incredible job of taking care of our cats! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She also went out of her way to take care of some household chores which was much appreciated. Very much looking forward to rebooking Danielle in the future.”
About: I cared for my own beloved cat Buddy for 17 years giving me first hand experience with every stage of a cat’s life. From active adult years to the unique needs of a senior cat. I learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every cat has their own personality and comfort level. I am comfortable caring for cats with different temperaments, including shy, independent, and senior cats. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing companionship on the cat’s terms, and paying attention to changes in behavior appetite and well being. As a sitter my goal is to help cats feel safe, comfortable and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I treat every cat as if it were my own and provide regular updates so you can relax while you’re away.
“Kimberly is very attentive and responsive. She was willing to meet me beforehand on short notice. She is very thorough in her stays and makes sure to keep you up to date even when the app is lagging. She is super friendly and you can tell she really enjoys meeting new pets! I would definitely rebook with Kimberly!”
About: I love dogs and have experience caring for all ages and breeds, including my own lab/pit rescue. I'm reliable, organized, and detail-oriented, ensuring your dog's safety and happiness. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I currently work part time as a manager at a small business and only need to be in the office when I have clients. Therefore, I have lots of time to care for your pet! I currently am not taking boardings as my home is not suitable at this time but I will take all precautions when caring for your pup in your home or in walks.
About: I have had dogs,cats,bunnies,chickens throughout my life. I know how to care for each one. I am a trusted and reliable handler with any family pet(s). Being a animal person is in my blood and I absolutely love it and enjoy caring for them. Currently I have a part time job. I also ride horses for friends that are away on trips. Together they don't pay my bills. Working with dogs and other animals for clients I have been thinking of doing for awhile now. It would be much appreciated to have you as my client and make this a career. I already have three dogs with me. Having any animals stay over at my house will not be an option at all. My dogs can be very wild and not the best behaved around new furry friends. For the safety of your pet and mine it would be best to dog sit over night at the clients home if preferred. Everything else is open.
About: I’ve taken care of kids and animals my whole life because I love providing love and care to all living things! I enjoy taking pets on walks, engaging them with their toys, and of course giving them some good pats and scratches :) I work remotely and have the flexibility in my schedule to match the routines you keep with your fur babies. Taking a break from work to go on a walk, play fetch, or give some pats & scratches is my favorite! Any pet in my care will be getting the VIP treatment where attention, playtime, and affection are concerned. I used to be a teacher, and from my time managing classes of over 35 middle schoolers and their art supplies, I am a very flexible, detail oriented person, who follows instructions closely which would translate well into specific care needs for any pet. You tell me what your pet needs and I will make it happen at a high quality!

Perfect for high energy dogs - Downieville
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“We have been traveling for a week and changing plans due to the lack of snow so we made a very last minute request and Emma was super flexible and communicative. She took great care of Minnie! Minnie can be anxious when away from home but was much calmer than usual when we picked her up. When Minnie needed space from Emma’s playful dogs, Emma gave Minnie her own space in the house. We got updates and photos during the day too. We highly recommend Emma and would use her again if we’re traveling in this area again.”
About: Hi! I’m semi- retired, flexible and here to help! I am an experienced and dedicated dog owner with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. I have extensive experience with both large and small breeds, including strong, high-energy dogs and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’m confident handling everything from tiny companions to powerful working breeds, and I’m comfortable managing leash manners, reactivity, and high-drive personalities. Over the years, I’ve also worked alongside several professional trainers to develop improve upon training techniques and deepen my understanding of canine behavior. This has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, consistency, and reading body language — ensuring every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and supported. I currently have two dogs of my own who keep me on my toes! One required daily medication and eye drops for most of her life and is now blind, so I’m very experienced with administering medication, caring for special needs dogs, and providing the extra patience and environmental awareness they require. My other is a 90lb Rottweiler — a big, strong, lovable goofball — so I’m more than comfortable handling large, powerful breeds with confidence and control. Whether your dog needs structured walks, medication management, extra patience, or just lots of love and play, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize safety, routine, and plenty of affection. I’d love to meet your pup and provide them with a fun, safe, and caring experience! I’m currently semi retired so have flexibility to adapt to your dogs needs, routine and playtime! I love going for walks, helping with training, providing mental stimulation as well as exercise. My dogs are pretty “spoiled” according to my friends; they eat (home prepared meals) 3 times a day (not including treats) and get tons of attention. I’m happy to provide the same level of love, attentiveness and care to any and every dog I possibly can. 💜 I have a small fenced in yard and a comfortable cozy home. I do have two dogs but have the ability to keep mine separate if needed. If requesting home sitting services, I have done the same and fully understand the level of of trust, cleanliness and respect needed in these situations.
“Robyn was great. She was reliable, great with communication and took my dog for a long walk which I appreciated. I received many photo updates on how my dog was doing. It was fun to see him interacting with Robyn's dogs. I would use her services again when in the area.”
“Judson and his family are great! Their house with the big fenced land is very peaceful and beautiful . My two huskies had the best time running and playing all day. They also went on hike. Thank you for taking care of our babies. Very happy to find them.”
“Fantastic, last minute booking while we took the Georgetown train ride! Took our doggos on a walk right away and kept them nice and cool and safe while we enjoyed some family time on the train. Thank you for your kindness and flexibility!”
About: I have had many dogs throughout my lifetime growing up, taken care of newly born pups, and mother while in process of giving birth. Have been given dogs to train and have trained and found loving home for them. Rescued a 3 week puppy almost dying, put him in healthy position, and found family after 3 months. Always been really patient with animals because they do not have a voice therefore we as human have to make sure we can communicate with them.
About: Former dog training/daycare worker. I am a remote worker, so I can be with your pups most usually all day. I’m a photographer by trade, so I usually take photos during our visit for fun ☺️ For boarding, I live on a fenced farm and we spend time outside, as well as being cozy inside while I remote work. I work from my laptop, so I am very flexible during the day. I am fully available and very eager to spend time with your dog. I make sure your dog is my number one priority. I could never be too cautious. I make sure they have the attention, pets, and play time that they need.
About: I love big dogs, especially GSDs, but have experience with many ages, breeds, and sizes. I grew up with several labs. I raised a German Shepherd from 8 weeks to 10 years that sadly passed away a couple years back. Needless to say I dont mind being covered in dog hair. I have experience with various personalities, separation anxiety, cuts/injuries, and administering medication. I typically watch one or multiple dogs at a time from the same owner. I will only watch dogs from different owners if the dogs are all dog friendly and all owners agree to it. I enjoy going on walks, hikes, and going to parks, but can also just hang out with your pup if that’s what’s desired. I work remote full time and set my own schedule, allowing flexibility all hours and days. I live in a home with plenty of room and a fenced in backyard. Trails are 20 yards away. Reach out if you’d like to set up a meet and greet! I work remotely and make my own schedule, so I’m flexible at all hours and days to provide the care that your dog needs and deserves. Dogs are always welcome in my home! I have plenty of space with a fenced in yard and dogs are allowed on the couch and in the bed. I’m easy to work with, patient (some dogs just like to sniff more than they walk), communicative, and can adjust to any preferred care strategy to provide a trustworthy service while you’re away.
About: I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals in addition to dogs including cats, fish, guinea pigs, etc. Patient, flexible, reliable. I provide care for pets of all ages. Prior pet store experience. I have two dogs and two freshwater fish tanks. Please feel free to call or text with questions. I look forward to working with you! I work part time and can easily fit your pet care needs into my schedule. I've been helping take care of other family's pets for many years and I make your pet my priority. I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood for pet boarding. When pet sitting at another home I take great care to make sure that pets are secure and accounted for, all doors are locked and all safety precautions taken to ensure the best service for your pet and family.
“Shanik and family are wonderful pet hosts. Mila loved to spend the days with them. She was happy to play ball outside in the snow for her first time. Shanik took care of Mila while my family and I were out skiing. Mila felt like she was home! Thank you!”
“Omar was fantastic with our little Peanut. He got plenty of play time and care. Omar has a good sized fenced yard and took Peanut on a joyful walk. He was tired but happy when he got home. What more can we ask for?! Thanks again, Omar!”
About: I am an animal lover that works from home, so I will always be around. I'm just looking to help you care for your pets while you are away. No complicated stuff or pricey add-ons here! About me - my husband and I have owned two beautiful Vizslas over the last 17 years and recently lost our 2nd one. I love animals, have plenty of experience caring for high energy and senior dogs (we cared for our dogs with arthritis, Cushing's Disease, muscle atrophy). I love walking, hiking and spending time with animals. I have a large 1 acre property and spacious home. No other pets, just me and my husband. I am perfectly happy caring for one pet at a time if you prefer your pet to be the only pet with me. I have also cared for friends' pets for a long time as well but am adding my services here to the Rover community. Thank you! I work from home full time, so I have a lot of flexibility. I am able to take breaks often during the day for potty breaks and walks. I am home almost everyday, but I do go out on weekends for a few hours at a time. I can bring your pet along on hikes and picnics if your pet is able to join. I prefer pets that can be left at home for at least 3-4 hours at a time and unattended. If not, we can discuss. Crates may be needed if they are unable to roam around the house alone. I have a large property, but it is unfenced, it is far from the road and our area is very very quiet, almost zero cars. I can keep your pet on a leash for potty breaks if they are prone to running away. My house is spacious and has two floors with just the two of us and no other pets. The stairs and floors are covered in non-slip rugs for pets. There is a baby gate to keep your pet away from stairs if needed. There are extra rugs for the floors if needed (our senior dogs used to slip a lot). I also have a large deck that is fully enclosed - no exit route. Since I am home almost all the time, I can take your pet for a walk and let them keep me company at home on the couch too! I can also come over your home and care for your pet there as needed (depends on length of stay requested).
“Jen was great with Joshua! She sent updates throughout the day and was very accommodating with my drop off and pick up times. My dog seems very happy after his visit there. Also very convenient location for a ski day when coming from Denver area.”
“Christina was fantastic. Our family was looking for someone to watch our pup while doing an excursion in Colorado. She was very prompt in getting back with me, and our pup had a great time.”
“Cherie watched Paisley for half a day while we were snowmobiling, and she was truly a dog whisperer. She kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Paisley usually won’t even leave her crate the first time with a new sitter, but with Cherie she felt comfortable enough to go out right away. Cherie even accommodated us by driving Paisley back to our Airbnb. Communication was excellent throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book her again.”

About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.
About: I grew up with cats and now am a very proud blue heeler-boco mix owner. I am always happier if there is an animal in the room :) I love caring for, learning about, and working with all animals. I look forward to learning about what makes your pet special and unique. As I’m a teacher off for the summer, so have a flexible schedule to be able to help out with pet care. Hanging out with some new pet friends pets is always a great day! We live in Central City, so comfortable with mountain properties. I understand my job as learning your pet’s routine in order to offer as much consistency (and love/enrichment in your absence) as possible. I am here to respect your rules, expectations, and “how it’s done” when it comes to caring for your pet in your home.
About: I have three dogs of my own two of those being high energy. Additionally I spent some time in the veterinary field. My brother has had me dog sit for him on several occasions. I’m currently working extremely part time so I am available most mornings and afternoons. I am available most weekends as well and sometimes for overnight sits. I will take care of your fur babies as if they were my own. I love being outdoors so several walks per day is no issue.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. Ever since I was a little girl I would bring home injured or stray animals to care for. I've raised an assortment of pets from parakeets, cats, fish, bunnies, chickens, ducks, and many dogs. Our dogs are like our children to us. It's our goal to provide the very best life we could possibly give them with lots of love, structure, exercise, a good healthy diet, and medical attention when required. Any animal that comes in our presence will experience the same treatment. I work full-time remotely. While we don't have a yard per se, we live in the mountains bumped up against BLM land with lots of hiking trails and areas to walk. Our dogs get exercised daily on the trails surrounding our home. With my at-home work schedule, I have the flexibility to take walks for my breaks and lunch hour and to get up and take care of things as needed through out the day. We get up early and go outside immediately so our dogs can relieve themselves then we go in and have breakfast. After breakfast, I start work while the dogs tend to relax on the bed behind me. I will take them out to potty again on my first break then on my lunch hour, we go for a walk through the forest behind the house. They get another potty break on my second break and then another short walk after I sign out of work for the day in the evening time. We free-feed our dogs but if we have other dogs in the house we will adjust the feeding and schedule to the visiting dog(s). We are normally in bed around 10 pm and our dogs are fully on our schedule for sleeping. If we need to step out for a bit, our dogs are good being left alone in the house but we do have a crate if needed for dogs that aren't good being left alone.

“Erin was absolutely fantastic with Ollie. She took him on long walks, and was patient with him, spending extra time with him waiting for him to go potty. I’ll definitely be using Erin again in the future!”
“Mitch has done a great job working with us. He's easy to communicate with, responsible, and gave our dogs lots of attention. We appreciate him greatly and will likely book him again to walk our dogs. I would recommend Mitch to others in the area.”
About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life and have worked on a farm where I took care of chickens, horses, pigs, goats, and more! I have a passion for taking care of animals and will take care of yours as I would want someone to care for mine!

I can also help with crate training, basic commands, bathing, administering medications, and routine feeding schedules.
About: Hi! I’m Josie. First thing to know about me- My love for dogs and cats is beyond. One thing that consistently makes my day is spoiling animals. I enjoy staying fit so running, jogging or hiking with dogs is even better - it keeps me going! I Have 10 years experience in pet sitting, dog walking, and training, as well as working in boarding/daycare facilities. I always look forward to building a trusting relationship and continuing care for your fury family member(s) whenever you may need it. I prefer interviewing before hand so I can get to know you and your pet(s), and, of course, so that you feel can comfortable with me. I am very flexible with my schedule and reliable all around. Love for your pets will always be a top priority of mine- that’s a given. This is something that excites me, as animal rights/connection is one of my greatest (if not the greatest) passions. Please contact me and you can expect a quick reply! Pet care will be and always is my first priority. Besides this, I’m currently working a separate very part-time job and in college online until the end of summer- I am very open and available as of now. No matter the location, I care for all animals the same. As far as what I can do for your family (as of now), I am available to come care for your pets at your home, where I’ll follow any instructions and precautions you provide just as I would my own. I am available to come take your baby(babies) on walks when you may need, feedings, or just some love in your absence, of course!!

About: Hi there! My name is Chris and I just moved back to the Boulder County area from Montana. I'm a former EMT and have many years of experience with puppers of all ages, sizes, and backgrounds. I would love to meet your pup! My schedule is very open and I take my own pup on walks when I can. I work remotely and only need my cellphone. I'm usually available from 7AM until 10PM every day. I have a great deal of experience watching, walking, and taking care of dogs in both my home and others homes. I request a simple schedule that I can follow for the pups and keep consistency, even if that means singing to them to get them to eat their dinner!
About: Hi there! An animal lover, I have had dogs and cats for most of my life. Currently I have a 11 year old husky shepherd mix who loves to play. I am comfortable with spirited dogs but am happy to work with quieter, more timid dogs as well. Most animals are at ease around me and I take care of your pup like I would my own! (Aka Belly rubs are on the menu!) I enjoy being active with animals of all shapes and sizes, playing, and being sensitive to their needs. I am formally trained by Paw School and I work with simple methods and treat bag (taking into account any allergies you may report) to help train or maintain your dogs manners. I will be patient and respectful with your dog and your home, and like to have fun and develop a bond with the animals I meet. I look forward to working with you! I have some commitments out of the house but can take your individual pets needs into account when pet sitting to ensure they have the attention and outdoors time that they need! We have a large yard and enjoy taking long walks in the forest outside our front door. Our yard is a dog’s paradise with places to run, to look out on the world, to sunbathe, and to take cover in the shade.
About: I am a certified, professional canine obedience trainer and have two fur babies who are my world and they have taught me that there is no greater gift than that of an animal who trusts you to be the best you that you can be in every aspect of your life. Without balance, there can be no peace. I am an avid and experienced sitter who is dedicated to delivering the utmost quality of care to all clients, furry and human alike. I have pet sat for many family members and family friends as well as a number of Rover and private clients. I require meet and greets so that I can answer any questions and or demonstrate my services as well as discuss what may need to be done before, during and after care provided as well as any extracurricular services such as plant care, garbage removal, mail collection and light housework depending on the length of the stay. All is doable so you can be confident that I am the right choice for you, your beloved family members and your home. My schedule includes but isn't limited to the hours of 6PM-7AM as I work outside and all across Denver. So rainy days will most definitely be spent lounging around with your furry family. Some days I may have other obligations however checking in with you and ensuring every furry companion is set and settled while you're away is my top priority. As an individual house sitter who works with both animals and people, it's important to understand that animals can pick up on how they and their environment are being treated just as people can. It is important to always be aware of how everyone (animals too!) expect themselves and their homes to be respected so I take great care in learning everyone individually. As a canine trainer, my aim is to respect the training regiment/schedule and expectations laid out to help our companions live their best life.
About: My wife(Emerald) and I have experience as professional dog/house sitters. For two years we traveled with our own mobile dog grooming business. We are confident in our abilities to care for elderly and young dogs. We recently took care of a liter of 6 pups and momma till they were ready to be in their forever homes. We really feel in tune with the behaviors of dogs and also enjoy cats too! We love taking walks and hiking. We are available full time since we make our own schedule. Dogs are such unique creatures and we really enjoy getting to learn about them and spend time loving on them. We would love to come play, walk, feed, and care for your pet. We have spent a lot of time with multiple dogs a day so we feel very qualified to look after your special companion. We also have special leash training skills of how to walk dogs. Hope to meet you and your dog!! We work from home, we consider ourselves the utility players, meaning when someone needs us we are available. So we will be able to be with your pets for long periods of the day. We will be with your pets in the comfort of their home and if it something you and the pets are comfortable with we can take them with us to local places.
About: Proud 3 year old mini eskimo owner! I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 7. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm currently unemployed and deep in the job hunt so my schedule is very flexible! I'm available all days of the week upon request. Happy to work around your schedule and make it as easy as possible for you. I have two friendly dogs at my current home that will keep your fur baby company if they board with me and/or will work with all of your current needs at your place!

“Joan is incredible! First time boarding my two dogs with her, and they arrived home happy and pleasantly tired from the daily walks and play time. Can’t wait for their next visit!”
“Emma was amazing with Curry! Her dogs even taught him how to howl 🥰 she included many photos and videos and Curry misses being there already, we can tell!! She will be our new go to sitter for him.”
“Mitzi and Klif are amazing! They always treat our dogs like their own and I can always tell that they have a great time when they’re with Mitzi and Klif. This time they took care of our 7 month old puppy. He loved hanging out with them and their dogs. We are so grateful to have such great and reliable care for Bodhi!”
“Cuzco loved being with Missy and Evan! I really appreciated the updates and pictures Missy sent. He looked so happy and relaxed. We definitely want Cuzco to stay here again!”
“Barbara was so sweet and kind to Leia. She let Leia explore her house and her yard (which Leia loves) and took care of her. Leia loved her time with Barbara and another dog Barbara was sitting. Barbara also constantly kept us updated with pictures. Leia had the best time in Colorado at Barbara's place.”
“Sandy & Chase were AMAZING! They took care of Leia while we went skiing. They sent several pictures, sometimes a few in a day along with little updates on how she was doing. We are so thrilled to have had such a great experience with our first time using Rover and leaving Leia. We will definitely use them again when we come out skiing! I can’t say enough about how grateful we are for such sweet care they gave Leia!”
“Stella had an amazing stay with Stephen and his family. It was a great experience all around and communication was great. Stella was taken very good care of and we would definitely use Stephen again for a sitter. Really appreciate how well she was taken care of! Thank you!”
“Melinda was great! I feel 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her and plan on using her services again. She sent pics and updates, which was nice. Definitely recommend her services.”
“By all accounts Maple had a great time with Fred! I enjoyed the pictures and could tell she was in a dog lovers home! Peace of mind, while out of town, is priceless.”
“Larissa was AMAZING with my dog, Izzy. She did me a huge favor agreeing to watch her last minute and gave Izzy all the time and attention in the world. It was almost like Izzy got to go on vacation too. Highly recommend!”
“My pup Alvin had the best time with Alexandra and Jason! They provided lots of updates and I knew he was in great hands. They are a very active family and I felt so thankful for the care they provided. I would highly recommend!”
“Steve and Susan took great care of my pup, Luna. They have a big, beautiful backyard, but Luna is hard to please in that she doesn't play with toys, chase a ball, or run around the yard to burn energy. She absolutely lives for walks in the neighborhood--it's her most favorite thing in the world. They were accommodating and took her out on walks every day (even in bad weather a couple of those days!). All in all, a great first experience with Rover.”
“Bailey loved her stay with Kristin and Brant. It was nice to leave her where she had free run of the house and huge yard. The two dogs that they have are friendly and put up with Bailey's high energy. I got pictures and updates while out of town and it was comforting to know that Bailey was sleeping and eating well. I highly recommend them!”
“If I could give Sarah TEN stars, I would. She's such a wonderful sitter who goes the extra mile to care for our senior dogs while we are away. I get updates/pictures every day and detailed notes about any concerns regarding my eldest dog's health. I truly can tell that Sarah loves our dogs just like her own, and will make safe, healthy choices for them no matter the situation.”
“Jenn took such great care of Lucy dog while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and updates. Lucy was welcomed into Jenn’s and was allowed to make herself feel right at home.”
