“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!”
“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!”
“Curry was on some meds during this stay for an issue with his nose and she made sure he was staying on track ( with his meds and his ointment). Updated us when his nose was looking better too! Never have to worry if he is getting the care he needs here with Emma!! He loves coming over to see her, her huskies, and her kitties!! We will continue to use her <3”

“We are from WI and went to Denver for a wedding. Jamie is a very personable sitter. The dogs were very happy to see us obviously but I think they really enjoyed their stay. Jamie has a beautiful yard that is fenced in with lots of trees for shade and grass for comfort. She explained her history with dog sitting and genuinely seemed to enjoy the dogs. I wld definitely take the dogs back to her if we need a multi day stay in the future. Wld highly recommend.”

“My wife and I went overseas for our honeymoon, and we were so happy to have found Nicole and Craig!! Our dog is a bit of a diva, and can't stand other dogs or traditional boarding facilities. She almost seemed sad when we brought her home. Nicole and Craig were very responsive and attentive to our pup. We will 100% be booking with them again in the future”
“Kristin was great with communication and easy to schedule drop off and pick up. They have a perfect fenced yard for the dogs to romp around. Timber had fun being a part of their family while we were away and exhausted when we got home.”
“We needed a sitter last minute and Alec was very responsive and accommodating to our schedule. He took great care of our dog Dre who had an upset stomach during his stay with Alec. Would have Alec sit again.”
“Sarah and her family took great care of my Standard poodle Charlie while I was traveling. I would absolutely entrust my dog to her again if I need boarding for Charlie.”
“Ruby was with Sean and Kim for 16 days, which is the longest we have ever left her, and I can’t say enough good things about them. We got daily updates with photos. She went for walks every day and also got to hike her favorite trail with them numerous times. She loves her new doggy buddies, and based on the photos she clearly loves Sean. She came home healthy and tired, and we were able to enjoy our extended trip knowing that she was in such great hands. 10 out of 10 recommend.”
“Sue was absolutely wonderful with my 10-year old GSD. She was very flexible on arrival and pickup times, and never left her by herself alone. I’ll definitely be reaching back out.”
“Stephen and family were wonderful caretakers. My dog instantly felt comfortable with them. I greatly appreciated Stephen's communication, flexibility, and questions to better get to know Bodhi. Knowing my dog was in a great place where he was being cared for and loved helped me enjoy my vacation even more. Thanks for a wonderful experience! Will definitely use again!”

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.

About: I've been caring for animals my whole life. Growing up, I was fascinated with them. My family has always kept pets but my fantasy was always to get a job at the zoo where I could look after animals from all over the world. My zoo dream never came true but that’s good news because now I have a lot more time to come and help take care of your pets! I’m currently working as a freelance photographer and camera operator.

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.”
“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.”
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.
“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!”
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: My love for animals has always been a big part of my life, I don't have any pets at the moment and would love to offer time and my home to help the local community. Growing up, my family and I bred and raised pure blood Jack Russell Terriers. I've been taking care of animals since I was young. I have years of experience dog sitting for friends and family. Including senior dogs and dogs with special medical needs. I currently work from home, my work load is light and I take frequent breaks. I have plenty of time for walks through out the day. I have a fenced in backyard with some ecological points of interest, such as grass (mostly green), squirrels, singing doves, and a few representatives from the corvid family. A white cat occasionally walks along the fence line, provoking the thrill of a chase. The neighborhood is a lovely place and has plenty of sidewalks.
About: I love big dogs, especially GSDs, but have experience with many ages, breeds, and sizes. I grew up with several labs. The last 10 years I raised a German Shepherd from 8 weeks that sadly passed away last summer. Needless to say I miss being covered in dog hair. I have experience with various personalities, separation anxiety, cuts/injuries, and administering medication. I enjoy taking dogs 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.
“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!”
“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 experience for 40 years with animals. I have had cats, fish, giant dogs, small dogs and all those in between. I have had puppies and seniors, and I love them all. I work for myself so I can be home when I need to be. I can keep your pups routine so they are happy and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and 2 well behaved dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate avlb if your pup is crate trained.
About: I grew up with animals (even cows!) and am a reliable, loving caretaker for you fur babies while you are away. I treat them like they're my own and understand how important our pets/ babies are to all of us as owners! I have plenty of time and work remote running my own business as a health coach. My availability is 24/7, as I can work my hours around what else is needed. Like it is my own. I want to guarantee safety and loving care while you are away, whether it be special edits, meds, walking a lot, taking them to groomers, and or the dog park.
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).
“Lisa and her boyfriend were incredible caregivers for Lulu!!! She seemed to get comfortable immediately (which is rare for her) and I got lots of pics and updates to ensure my comfort with this first daycare visit. I feel really lucky to have found Lisa and will absolutely book 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.

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 am here to respect your rules, expectations, and “how it’s done” when it comes to caring for your pet in your home.
“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!”
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.

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.

I can’t say enough about how grateful we are for such sweet care they gave Leia!”

I wld definitely take the dogs back to her if we need a multi day stay in the future. Wld highly recommend.”
