“Joan was a great fit to our curious cocker spaniel. Many walks and places to explore she took him. She also responded that our dog was a good fit for her. I felt comfortable reading her profile, then meeting her. We will definitely consider her care again”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Missy and Evan were great! We really appreciated the flexibility with drop off/pick up times and the daily updates. Our guy loved his time and came back healthy and happy!”
“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.”
“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”
“We were visiting from Texas and looking for a sitter for our dog, Leia, for 3-4 dags. Barbara was so sweet to Leia. Leia was very excited to see Barbara everytime she went there. Barbara took care of another dog also during that time and Leia loved playing in the yard with the other dog. Barbara also kept me posted about Leia the entire time. I would be very comfortable leaving Leia with Barbara when we come back to Bailey again.”
“The absolute best sitters took such good care of cat Mia and even gave us such a sweet incredibly thoughtful gift at the end of her stay :) - can’t recommend Sehwa and Adam more highly! Thank you so much again! You’ll for sure be our first ask anytime we ever need a sitter again :)”
About: I’ve taken care of large/,medium & small dogs since I was 20. Neighbors, friends and family relied on me to groom, walk, feed & bath their pets, and I can do it for you. As I’m retired with plenty of time to care for your dog, and take it on walks, if you choose.. I do have a cat so your pet needs to be cat-friendly. I’m available for boarding/drop-off after 2 p.m., on weekdays & weekends, unless other arrangements made in advance. I am retired, and have plenty of time to care for your pet(s). I have a fenced yard, a large, covered, enclosed deck for lounging in open-air, 2 friendly small dogs, and a cat. Also live in fairly large house with my grandson who is 4 yrs. old (must get along w/child, small dogs & cat).. I can walk your dog if arrangements made in advance (for additional fee.) I crate my dogs at night, and prefer you provide a crate for your dog(s), as well.
“Larissa was fantastic with our pup. She’s is an absolute dog lover and it shines through her words and actions. We’re very grateful for the way she loved on our dog, taking him on multiple walks and sending pictures of him cuddled up next to her. Would certainly use Larissa in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Allie and Jason were great. They took amazing care of our pup Lady, sending so many pictures and making her feel right at home. Lady hardly wanted to leave when we picked her up!”
“This was our dog’s first time staying with Melinda and we will definitely be booking with her in the future. She was easy to communicate with, sent picture updates, and our dog was happy and well-cared for.”

“Cheyanne was wonderful watching my kitty at short notice! He has never been so calm and relaxed when I came home! She sent me cute pictures and gave me an update every day. I highly recommend Cheyanne!”
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.
“We love Robyn! She takes wonderful care of our babies, and we will be hiring her more often, now that we have a trusted sitter in the area. She’s communicative, thorough, loves all animals and puts in the extra effort. Traveling is so much easier when you have someone you can rely on. Thank you Robyn!”

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!

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 ❤️

“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.”
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.
“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.”
“Stuss saved us when we needed someone to watch Stella the day of for plans we had and our other daycare plans fell through. He took great care of our pup and took her on all the walks to wear out our high energy puppy. We will definitely use Stuss again!”
“I love bringing Jupiter to see Joan! She takes such good care of her. Jupiter comes home very happy and tired from lots of playing and exercise and it's so nice to have someone you trust with your pup! She is really communicative and sends fun pictures and videos when I want to check in! I can't recommend Joan enough!”
“Sue was wonderful. She watched our mini Goldendoodle Luna while we hit the slopes at keystone. Very communicative and flexible on pickup/drop off times. Luna came home pooped. Thank you Sue!”
“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: 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.
“Jamie was very responsive and great with my little Coco! I felt very comfortable leaving my pup with her. It was our first time using this app and Jamie made it a great first experience”

We have lots of open space outside and live very close to hiking trails. Our home is clean and safe for your pets to relax.
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.

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 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.
“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!”
“Mitchell was awesome!!! My family and I were riding the Georgetown Train Loop but had our dog en route. Mitchell walked and played with her for 2 hours while we rode the train. He even met us at the train station when we were running late!! Our doggie had a great time thank you!”
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 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: 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.

About: I have had dogs ever since I could remember as a kid. I have experience sitting for small, big, old, young, and medically complex animals, also including cats and reptiles. I have administered medications/observed certain pets as well that needed a little extra attention. I really enjoy engaging your pets in the routines you have set for them and being silly with them to bring them out of their shells. I miss having my own dogs who have sadly passed from childhood and would love to spend time with them! I currently work early mornings, but can switch that around, Friday-Wednesday, usually off by 3pm. I would be able to house sit any of these days and do walks any morning and afternoon! I ensure I understand expectations from every owner on their routines and desires. I ensure I keep the place clean and give the animals the space, as well as attention, they need! I try my best to mimick what their usual routine is so when the owners get back, the transition is smooth and less anxiety stricken for both parties.

“Joan was a great fit to our curious cocker spaniel. Many walks and places to explore she took him. She also responded that our dog was a good fit for her. I felt comfortable reading her profile, then meeting her. We will definitely consider her care again”
“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!”
“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!”
“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”
“Missy and Evan were great! We really appreciated the flexibility with drop off/pick up times and the daily updates. Our guy loved his time and came back healthy and happy!”
“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.”
“We were visiting from Texas and looking for a sitter for our dog, Leia, for 3-4 dags. Barbara was so sweet to Leia. Leia was very excited to see Barbara everytime she went there. Barbara took care of another dog also during that time and Leia loved playing in the yard with the other dog. Barbara also kept me posted about Leia the entire time. I would be very comfortable leaving Leia with Barbara when we come back to Bailey again.”
“Larissa was fantastic with our pup. She’s is an absolute dog lover and it shines through her words and actions. We’re very grateful for the way she loved on our dog, taking him on multiple walks and sending pictures of him cuddled up next to her. Would certainly use Larissa in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Allie and Jason were great. They took amazing care of our pup Lady, sending so many pictures and making her feel right at home. Lady hardly wanted to leave when we picked her up!”
“This was our dog’s first time staying with Melinda and we will definitely be booking with her in the future. She was easy to communicate with, sent picture updates, and our dog was happy and well-cared for.”
“This is our second time using Paul to watch our babies, and it was the same as last time. Wonderful! The dogs did great, and we go daily updates. We will definitely be using him the next time we leave town!”
“Jenn had the perfect set up for our older dog. She made sure she had all the details to care for him, and even had a box of toys when we arrived! She had excellent communication and sent pictures throughout the stay. Jenn is calm and kind and was exactly the person Rocco needed when we were traveling”
