“Mitzi was recommended to me by a friend who also brings her dogs here I was highly impressed, Mitzi, was very organized knowledgeable and you could see. She truly cares deeply about the dogs she has and getting to know our dog. it was a great experience and we will use her again.”
“Melinda was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive. Sent pictures every day to check in. Her fenced-in yard was great for my active golden. Definitely will book again!”
“This was our 3rd stay with Nicole, Craig, and family. This stay was different for us in that we were out of the country for almost two weeks! I was certainly uneasy leaving my precious pups for so long, but I am so thankful and grateful for Nicole, Craig, and their boys. They treat our two Shiba Inus as party of the family, as if they were there own. Everything went swimmingly, which allowed my husband to really enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our pups. Thank you so much Nicole and Craig! We'll see you again soon!”
“Amy was so patient with me when I was worried to leave my rescue pup for the first time. She was so thoughtful in her reach outs and updates she sent. And Mari tried to run back to the house when we came to pick her up. She loved being with Amy!!”
“Jamie and family are great hosts, my pup always seems to have a great time when she stays. She was extra helpful this time when I got caught out of town unable to get back because of a large storm. Would highly recommend!”
“Danielle and her family are amazing. This was my first time using Rover and the experience was better than I would have ever expected. Danielle even gave me a hug because she could tell I was anxious about leaving Kona. In the end, Kona and their dog Gunnison were best friends (possible marriage in the future). I got tons of amazing pictures and Kona had the time of her life. If you want a caring family that treats your dog like family I would highly recommend Danielle.”
“Allie and Jason are my go to Rovers!! This was Annie’s 3rd or 4th stay with them and the care received was great as usual! This time Annie had a small nail injury which occurred the night before drop off and Allie adapted Annie’s care routine as needed and sent frequent updates. Allie was also super attentive to Annie’s bathroom schedule and let me know when Annie missed an expected BM (TMI). Allie also kept Annie safe during the heatwave, making sure to walk her early or skip the walk when necessary. Annie also adores their dog, Amy and my favorite part of her stays are receiving pictures of them snuggled up together on the couch.”
“I wish I could give 10 stars to Amy!! She was so great with Jack! She sent pics of him almost everyday, and even a video on Christmas day! Jack clearly looked happy there, and got lots of walks and rides which he loves! She had no problem giving him his meds at each meal, which is super important. We were so pleased that we asked Amy to watch him for our next trip before we got home from this one!”
“Mike was great watching our dog while we were in vacation! He was very nice and accommodating and he treated our dog as if he was his own. I like he only takes one client at a time too. Will definitely use him in the future. ?”
“My dogs have an amazing time there. One of my english bulldogs is on the grumpier side, and she has nothing but fun while staying at Julia's. We have booked twice with her, and will do so every time we need.”
“We have used Kari for the past 2 years, and our dogs are always excited to go. They are well taken care of. Even our new crazy dog does well with Kari. Definitely recommend”
“Denae is great! Takes great care of my dog and is very responsive/flexible with day to day care. Would definitely recommend her to anybody looking for dog services!”
“Oberon had the best time with Jessica and Teryn! I appreciate how easy it was to set up a meet and greet, and they made drop off and pickup a breeze. I could see from their daily updates that he spent a lot of time doing his favorite things (laying on his bed in the sun), and even attempted some playing! Thanks again for taking such great care of my pup.”
“Jamie was amazing with my dog Nala! I can tell she is a very caring and trustworthy person - it translated through her care with my dog. Lots of photos and updates and she had no problem accommodating to my dog who had just had surgery. I will definitely use Jamie again in the future!”

“Marina was my first pet sitter, and left me feeling at ease. She took tons of pictures of my cat while I was gone, left my place in the same condition, wrote detailed notes about how my cat was doing, and even brought in a package that was delivered while I was out. I’ll be rebooking with her next time I take a trip.”
“Ryan is the best! He is very communicative and sends lots of pictures while we’re away. We always feel safe and comfortable with him watching our fur kids. Thanks Ryan!”

“Alyssa took care of our two cats while we were visiting family over the holidays and I could not have chose someone better! She was prompt and left very detailed notes after her visits. 11/10 recommend!”
“Melina sent lots of pics and gave Mu good loves while we were away. I liked that she asked for vet info to be written down and a carrier left out in case of any emergencies.”
“Jinia saved us by being available for Oreo last minute and she is awesome! On time. Reliable and took care of our boy. Thank you so much and excited to be able to have you over again. 😻”
“Ella was amazing! It was my first time having a cat sitter for my babies and she was so kind, friendly and helpful. She left me wonderful notes on each visit and I loved all the pictures she sent.”
“Tenja was great! She checked in regularly, so we were confident that our kitties were being well taken care of. She stayed over and took great care of the house as well. We came home to a spotless kitchen and all the dishes were washed. What a treat! We hope Tenja will be available next time we need to go out of town without our kitties.”
“Ken did daily visits for our 12-year-old cat Fred and everything was wonderful! We received daily photos and reports, and we came home to a happy, healthy kitty cat. Thank you, Ken! We will be in touch soon for another booking.”
“Looking forward to asking Donald to watch my cat again! Donald is friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. My very shy cat was very comfortable around him.”
“We've used Lauren for several visits now. She's our go-to cat sitter! She is able to administer injections to our diabetic cat, has great communication, and sends pics.”
“Danielle was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our cats while we were away! She made sure to give all the details of how they were doing and sent lots of great pics. She was also easy to communicate with and answered any questions right away. We will be using Danielle as our go-to sitter in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Summerlyn is the real deal. She is professional, attentive, and truly an animal lover. She communicates and works with you for anything that may come up, going above and beyond. My cat Newton and I truly appreciate her!! That said, I definitely plan on booking her again in the future!!”
“Five paws from my two picky little critics! 🐾 They were loved, spoiled, and so well taken care of while I was away. The updates and photos were the perfect touch, and I came home to happy cats and a stress free house. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Our sweet buddy had a great day! Came home happy and tired :) Danielle was super attentive, responsive, punctual and overall loved on our pup. We loved and appreciated the photo and video updates throughout the day too so we could see how he was doing. Highly recommend!”
“Cory did a great job with our 8 year old goldendoodle. Drop off and pickup was very smooth. We also received a photo during the stay which definitely helped as this was our first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving our pup with someone I don’t know!”
“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.”
“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! 😊”
About: Hello! My name is Kelly. I am completing my masters degree online this fall . I will be home most of the time until December 2026. I have a big heart for animals of all breeds and personalities. I have over 50 volunteer hours working at my local animal shelter when I was in high school and many more hours spoiling my own pup. I've worked with big dogs, small dogs, and every dog in between! I've also cared for senior dogs. I also have one dog at home, but my husband and I are planning on bringing home another in October! At this time, I am only accepting small to medium dogs for boarding. I strongly believe that every creature deserves dignity and respect. In my experience, our little critters do as much for us as we do for them. I am a full-time student finishing my master's degree online. Playtime, walks, and snuggles will easily fit between my schoolwork and assignments. Dog time is already a part of my schedule due to my own pup. I live in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees for your pup to enjoy. I do not have a backyard, but I have easy access to grassy areas. I will treat your dog like my own and surround them with love, connection, and care.
“Makayla is awesome! Super easy to coordinate with, quick to respond, and took really good care of my girl. Makayla’s dog is very low key and friendly, and my dog got on great with him! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Leyah had so much fun with Cara and her family. Their house is perfect to host a dog and she even have furry friends to tire her out during the day. I would definitely recommend them.”
“Glory helped me out on such short notice and took amazing care of my girl! She’s quick to respond, sends updates throughout the day, and cares so much about the dog she’s looking after. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Definitely recommend and will use Brandi again to look after my dogs. I was able to go to work with a great sense of peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in exceptional hands. 6 stars if I could!”
“Alondra and Diego were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They agreed to a meet-and-greet and Dio seemed immediately at home with them. We look forward to Dio spending more time with them in the coming months!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ol. It seems like he got along really well with Smile and had a great time! I look forward to booking with you again.”
“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!”
“Mark is always very communicate, keeps my pup active and sends photos and a thorough summary of the day. She is always so relaxed and happy when I pick her up.”
“Jennifer and Garrett were great! I had messaged them the night before asking if they would be able to watch my dog the following day and without meeting him, they gladly accepted. They sent lots of pictures and he seemed like he had a great time! I really appreciated their helpfulness.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, my family has fostered puppies and dogs, and we currently have two rescue dogs that are both very friendly and lovely. We are familiar with prescription needs and some other special needs if your pet needs extra care. We already have two dogs, and we would love for more friends to come play at our house! My family is available for bookings weekdays or weekends! I have a big fenced yard and two dogs. We let our dogs out as much as they want to be out, or in if that's the case. We have crates, space, and love for your doggy to stay too!

“This is our second time working with Sora for our puppy Hans. Would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a thoughtful, responsible, and communicative person to watch their pup!”
“Ryan dealt wonderfully with my very nervous and untrusting rescue puppy. Although the walk did not go as planned, he did an excellent job of communicating the issues with me and handling the situation professionally and calmly. Thank you for all your help!”
“After a lot of issues with pet sitters I’m happy that I have been able to find someone I can trust. We love using Alyssa. Always is a great communicator and has been flexible with us when our plans change. We will continue to use her and recommend her to our friends with pets.”
About: Hi! I’m Laura, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a small farm where I helped care for horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and just about every furry friend you can imagine. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and comfortable with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and am now a proud pet mom to my two cats, Lulu and Loki, and my dog, Odella. I understand how much our pets mean to us because mine are truly part of my family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care. I work remotely from my home in Golden, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medications (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I love spending time outdoors and am always happy to take active dogs on long walks or adventures that match their comfort and energy level. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to provide cuddles, enrichment, and a calm, reassuring presence at home. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I work remotely from home in Golden, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their routine whenever possible. I strive to be as flexible as I can to meet you and your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if requested and I’m comfortable administering them), and any other special care your pet needs. I work remotely from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable visits throughout the day. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety by using secure leashes and harnesses on walks, respecting your home, and making sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the same love and attention I’d give my own pets.
“Ella is literally the best! Sometimes it’s hard for me to trust other walkers with my pup because Ella is so great with her. She’s communicative and patient and truly treats your dog just like her own.”
“Don always takes great care of my girl and I truly appreciate someone to walk my dog and care for her as much as I do. Xena is a sweet girl and I truly appreciate Don be as equally sweet to her and patient with her.”
“Summerlyn was amazing she was so sweet and attentive to my little fur baby. She truly cares for your pet as her own. She was very communicative and left great feed back in the app. This helped keep me at ease while I was away from my pup. I was able to book her last minute too and she was so accommodating! Truly a joy to work with her. Will def book again! Highly recommend!”
“Emi came to our house before the booking started to meet Rocky and get to know his routine. She asked all the important questions to make sure she understood his needs, which immediately gave me confidence that he would be in great hands. Emi did an amazing job taking care of Rocky! She took him on walks and, when the weather was too hot, brought him to the dog park in our apartment complex so he could still get exercise and have fun. She was an absolute lifesaver during a very busy week. She also sent me photos of Rocky every day, and I could tell from his face how happy he was! I am so grateful to have found someone I can truly trust, not only with my home, but with the most precious thing in my life: Rocky. I would absolutely recommend Emi to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog walker.”
“Melina saved the day and took Brego for a much needed walk while I was enjoying a little more time than usual on the mountain. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”
About: Im a lover of most all animals especially dogs. I worked at a major dog toy manufacturer for over 10 years. Became friends with a dog trainer who taught me about behaviors and the do's and dont's when interacting with dogs. Is your dog a 'fetcher', 'chewer' or 'tugger'. I'm looking to making new dog friends. I'm recently retired and all days are available. It also gives me an opportunity to get some extra exercise while having a lot of fun doing so. I am looking only for dog walking and sitting at pet owners homes to start. That may change in the future but for now that's what I offer.
About: Your dog gets a half-acre fenced yard on two acres, and a gate that opens straight onto open space and trail. No loading up in a car to find a walk, we step out the door and go. For a big dog with a real engine, that’s the whole difference. I have two labs of my own, a male and a female, both social and easy, so your dog has company and a pack to fall into rather than a crate and a quiet house. I’ve been boarding for friends and neighbors for 10, and I know what a bored 70-pound dog does to a living room, which is why exercise comes first here, not as a bonus. Good fit for: large breeds, working and sporting dogs, adolescents with too much energy, dogs who don’t do well kenneled. Not a good fit for: dogs who can’t be around other dogs, or who need to be kept separate. I’d rather say that up front than have anyone spend a bad weekend. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits for locals who’d rather keep their dog at home. Same approach, a walk here means actual miles on real terrain, not fifteen minutes on pavement. Daily photos and a note, usually from somewhere on the trail. I work from home, so dogs aren’t alone for long stretches, I’m here through the day and the routine is built around that. Mornings start with a walk on the trail behind the house before I sit down to work. I leave the doors open so that dogs are able to go in and out of the fenced yard through the day while I’m at my desk, with a midday break for a longer outing. Late afternoon is the real hike, when my two labs go out and your dog goes with them. Evenings are quiet, everyone’s tired by then, which is the point. I do take calls during the day, so there are stretches where I’m at my desk rather than actively playing, but the dogs are with me, not shut away. Weekends are more of the same with longer hikes and no calls Containment: My yard is a half-acre fully fenced, on two acres backing to open space. Gates stay latched and I check them before any dog goes out. Dogs are never off-leash on the open space unless the owner has confirmed reliable recall and I’ve seen it myself on a long line first, otherwise we hike on leash, every time. In the house: Dogs are loose in the main living area with me and my two labs, not confined to a garage or basement. I have crates available if your dog is crate-trained or you’d prefer it, and I’m happy to keep whatever routine they already have. New dogs and mine are introduced outside on neutral ground before anyone comes in the house. Requirements: Up to date on rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella. I ask for your vet’s contact and a backup person who can make decisions if I can’t reach you. Wildlife: We’re in the foothills, so coyotes, bears, and mountain lions are part of the landscape. Dogs go out into the fenced yard supervised, not unattended, and I don’t leave food or water bowls outside. Nobody is out in the yard alone at dawn or dusk. If something goes wrong: I’ll call you first, but I won’t wait on a callback to get a dog treated. My work is in wildfire and emergency planning, so I keep an evacuation plan for my own dogs including crates, leashes, records, and a go-bag ready and any boarding dog is included in it if there is an emergency.
“Ken has been great. He’s communicates with me and came and met me and Moose before to make sure it was the right fit. My mind is at ease knowing he’s walking Moose when I’m at work. I highly recommend him!”
About: I’ve had pets throughout my childhood that I have had responsibility over on top of this I have always cared for/nurtured my friends and families pets. What really sets me apart from most sitters is my long history of working with senior dogs. I know they require a lot more care,gentleness, and structure. I have also got experience with pets who struggle with anxiety and can come off intimidating/possibly aggressive, they just require more patience. I am currently working full time in the morning at a lovely hotel but anytime before 7am and after 3pm they will have my undivided love and attention! <3 I have about 8 years under my belt with senior pet care, as well as 2 years of puppy care. I can walk your fur baby/babies,help with medicine, dental care, provide lots of quality time & love. My communication skills are very high and will always keep you updated on anything good,important or concerning with your fur baby. And any regimen you have for them I have no issues following!
“Caleb is easy to communicate with, easy-going, and reliable. He has a very natural way with dogs. I never worried once that our 68-lb princess wasn't in very good hands. Highly recommended.”

“Megan and family were wonderful for Vanna. She’s an older girl and needs a little patience sometimes but Megan took it all in stride. Vanna came home happy and healthy after 2 weeks. She got lots of attention, walks and playtime with the kiddos!”
“Kailey took great care of our pup over the long weekend. Treated Abby like she was one of her own. Helped settle her stomach with pumpkin after she got sick and got permission from us. Spent lots of quality time with her and patiently trained Abby on the leash to settle her hyperness. There is nothing more important than leaving your pup in good hands and we look forward to future pet sitting opportunities with Kailey.”
