“Kyle and Kasi are AMAZING! They really understood our pups requirements, their family were so friendly with him and they took fantastic care of him. They had amazing levels of communication - we were not worried about him at all and he came back so happy. Will be booking again!”
“Erik and Lilly were the perfect match for Franklin. Erik was very courteous, thoughtful, and caring. He FaceTimed me before accepting my request to book to get to know Franklin’s needs and show me the space that they would be spending time together. At arrival, he invited me in to see his home and spacious backyard in person. During the stay, Erik sent pictures and videos to help put me at ease while I was out of town. At the end, he even made a montage video of the time Franklin spent there. This is the BEST rover experience I’ve ever had. It really is clear to me that Erik puts the needs of our animals first and genuinely cares about their comfort during the stay. I will be rebooking with Erik for any future needs. Thank you Erik and Lilly!! :)”

He loved his walks, cuddles, and backyard time. Highly recommend!”

“Zory and Kent took such great care of April! Their backyard is setup so well for playing and sniffing and she got out for lots of walks too. It felt like a little summer camp visit for my dog when she couldn’t come with us on vacation, hope we’ll be able to book with them again!”
“Nick takes amazing care of my dog Frost! Frost regularly attends daycare at Nick’s and just recently stayed overnight for 4 days for the first time. Nick is super responsive, reliable, and flexible.

They were incredibly responsive, easygoing, and made both me and Freyja feel comfortable right away. I really appreciated the consistent updates. They sent plenty of photos and videos, which made being away so much easier. It was clear Freyja was happy, well cared for, and in great hands the entire time. Truly an 11/10 experience. I would 100% recommend booking with them and will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

“Cassie is amazing! I have a scaredy cat, but he wasn’t with her after 1 visit. It was such a relief to know that my little furball was so well taken care of while I was out of town for a stretch. She is playful with the animals, thorough with the tasks, plentiful with pix and videos, responsible and responsive. She was also able to accommodate added days to the schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Grace was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Bowie! She was incredibly affectionate and attentive, making sure he felt loved and comfortable the entire time I was away. Grace did such a fantastic job that I could travel with total peace of mind. I highly recommend her!”

“I highly recommend Brae! She was an amazing sitter for my cat, Walnut, while I was out of town for the weekend. She spent time getting to know Walnut (and my partner and I, which was appreciated) prior to my trip. Brae was flexible, communicative, and accommodating about changes in my schedule and was willing to work with me. She paid close attention and care to Walnut while sending daily updates with a video and many pictures, and she left everything clean and tidy in the house for our return. Brae brought in mail, washed towels/bed sheets, and it was clear that Walnut was well loved and taken care of upon my return home. Even after our sit ended, she checked in to make sure I arrived home safely. She’s a natural with pets and was extremely respectful of our home and space!”
“Jessie was great!! I don’t have any negative feedback. Jessie played with my kitties and gave lots of love, much appreciated! Also provided great updates and would definitely book again next time I’m out of town!”
“Megan was so nice and friendly - she even worked with my crazy work travel schedule. I really appreciate her taking care of my companion while I was on the road. He seemed happy and comfortable while I was away and that was a huge relief to me. Thank you again Megan. Rigby and I appreciate you!”
“Melissa took good care of our boys! She knows how to woo even reserved kitties and they clearly learned to rely on her by the end of the week. Thank you for your excellent care, Melissa!”
“Alicia was super responsive and sent us photos and status updates of our cats everyday while we were on vacation. She helped keep our apartment clean and tidy as well. I would book Alicia to watch our cats again!”
“Terri has been lovely to work with! Very communicative, sent pics, and everything looked great when I got home. My cat is a little shy and didn’t want to come out much this first time, but Terri let me know she had seen signs of her and that she was eating and doing her business as normal. Will re-book for sure, thanks Terri!”
“Phinea watched my two cats for a week while I was out of town. She was AMAZING!!! She gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell immediately that Phinea *knows* cats by the way she introduced herself to my cats and the way they immediately felt comfortable with her. She sent me loads of pics each visit and detailed notes, and it was obviously my kitties were getting lots of love & attention and were having so much fun playing with her. I will 100% be hiring Phinea again next time I go out of town. 10/10 !!!!”

“Jessica did an amazing job! She was is reliable, timely, and responsive. Her updates were detailed and her update pics of our two cats were really cute, which helped a ton since we missed them so much. When we came home, everything was neat orderly. 10/10 would recommend Jessica. We’ll be using her again on our next trip out of town!”
“Taylor was awesome w my cat Otis. She would give me peace of mind by sending me pictures of him relaxing or playing w her. As a worried cat owner having someone stop by gave me to take peace of mind that he was safe and being loved. I will be utilizing Taylor as much as possible for future trips since she did such an amazing job making sure Otis was happy. She was even able to stop by before my trip and do a quick walk through w directions on how to get in, etc. I highly recommend Taylor and her services!”

“Eric did a fantastic job watching my pup this past week on short notice while I was at work. He was very responsive and helpful, and made sure to send pictures here and there throughout the day. My pup came home happy and well looked after, and I could not be more grateful. We will definitely be back!”
About: Hello! My name is Jackie and I've been a dog mom for over 20 years. My first pup was a Golden Retriever named Sam and my second is an Aussie named Norman. Long before Rover I would often house/pet sit for friends. I have experience with all ages of dogs. I cared for my good ole boy Sam from puppyhood until he was almost 15. On the other hand, Aussie Norman is high-functioning and anxious dog. He gets along well with other pups and loves playing. I work from home and am able to let dogs out as often as necessary, plus I have a doggie door. We live in a great neighborhood where it is easy to go out for walks. My house has a doggie dog that fits pups up to 80 lbs! It gives them great freedom to move in and out for bathroom breaks as they wish. Although the house is small, it has a large backyard. Norman is a friendly Aussie who loves other dogs, big and small, and would love a play friend. Pups can sit on the couch, just not the beds.
“Both my dogs settled in record time! Lindsay provided updates, report cards and plenty of pictures. It was a relief to see my pets sleeping on their backs next Lindsay. Her genuine love for pets was apparent from the first moment we all met. We are grateful to have found Lindsay and we wish her the best!”
“Winnie had a great time at Jessica’s house playing with Reggie and Frankie! Great backyard to explore, and great communication. Would definitely book again!”
“Ilana was AMAZING, this was my little guy's first day care situation and it couldn't have gone better. If we ever get back to Denver we will be coming back!”
“Perri and her precious family were so sweet with my pup. They gave her tons of attention and sent me lots of photos throughout the week. I would be happy to bring her back!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I offer reliable, attentive pet sitting that puts your pet’s comfort first. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and support. I’m confident with feeding routines, long walks, and lots of playtime and affection. My goal is always to keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, make them feel secure, and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own,because I know how important they are to you. Since both my partner and I work from home, pet care blends naturally into our everyday life. We love starting the day with a walk or playtime, checking in throughout the day, and ending the evening with snuggles or a relaxed wind-down. Having two people at home means there’s always someone nearby to give attention, reassurance, or a quick treat break. It never feels like work; it’s simply part of what we enjoy doing together. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment. At home, pets enjoy a structured routine with plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of companionship, especially since both my partner and I work from home full-time. We’re able to offer nearly constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines closely. I maintain feeding schedules, provide refreshing walks and play sessions, keep their space tidy, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re staying with us or I’m visiting them in their familiar space.
“Torre took excellent care of my senior dog, giving her meds and following lots of "special instructions." She communicated well with me throughout the day and sent lots of reassuring pictures. I would use her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.”
“Maple was so excited in the morning to spend another day at Erik’s house. She always has a blast and Erik makes sure to show me how much fun she’s having. Maple came back a very happy and sleepy puppy. Erik is always so accommodating, which makes her trips there so worth it!”
“Paige is great with my dog! My pup went for daycare, and Paige sent frequent updates and seems to genuinely enjoy my dog’s company. I have her booked for boarding too and am comforted knowing my dog will be in great hands!”
About: Hi, I’m Allison—your pet’s go-to gal! 🐾 My love for animals started early with my two childhood pets: Jack, my sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Lady, my orange cat who had plenty of personality and a special place in my heart. They taught me just how much joy, comfort, and companionship pets bring to our lives. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have always been the person friends and family call when they need someone reliable to care for their furry family members. More recently, I’ve been watching my friend’s Portuguese Water Dog and have officially become the go-to gal for all of my friends’ pet-sitting needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, sticking to routines, or extra cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My boyfriend and I would love a dog of our own someday, but because he currently works out of town, we’re waiting until his schedule changes. Until then, we’d love the chance to pour all that love and attention into caring for yours! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease and that your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, and my job is incredibly flexible, which makes pet care a perfect fit for my schedule. Because I’m home during the day, I can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles instead of pets being left alone for long stretches. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day to check in on your pets and adjust my schedule as needed to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat them like they’re my own. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions, because I know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: Hello! My name is Kyle and I’ve taken care of dogs for many years now - my own large dogs and friend’s and family’s animals. I would love to hang out with your buddy! We live in a house with a backyard and have a 1.5 y/o Pyrenees/Golden mix who loves to play. If your buddy isn’t really into playing, it’s easy to keep ‘em separated. We do have kiddos (4 and 7 y/o), so if your pup(s) are aggressive or does not get along with kids or other dogs, we will not be the family for you. I work from home, so someone will always be here to keep an eye on ‘em or to play and take walks. I would love the opportunity to take good care of your buddy and give lots of love. Thanks for looking and hope to meet you soon! Kyle No set schedule - I work from home, so there will almost always be someone around to keep an eye on your buddy, regardless of time of day! We have a fully (6’) fenced yard to ensure your buddy’s safety. Additionally, we have another full time pup who lives with us and LOVES to play! And if that wasn’t enough, we have two kiddos (4 and 7 y/o) who will go out of their way to make your buddy feels loved, cared for, and always safe and comfortable.
About: My husband and I dearly miss the company and compassion of our golden retriever and collie. So, missing having a pet around, we have joined Rover as a to be able to extend our warmth to other people's pets. We like to express ourselves to a dog/puppy through cuddling, brushing, belly rubs, and active walks that delight them. We have a third-of-an-acre, fully fenced-in backyard (see our pics!) as well as an array of large public parks within a mile of our house. And we have to mention the nice doggy pool we have added! We are well accustomed to attending to feeding schedules, walking schedules, and hugging time (always). As my husband and I are both at home 24/7, we keep a close eye and ear on the barking and tail wagging, and we don't leave the pet unattended for a minute. We are a couple in midlife who have oodles of time to spend attending to a pet. We have a large fenced-in yard (1/3 acre), a large doggy pool, and multiple city parks within walking distance. Over the past 12 years, we have had our two loving dogs together, and they have trained us well to be attentive to potty breaks, exercise and romping, meal times, occasional snacks, and cuddles.
“Alexandra is the BEST! My dog felt so comfortable with her, to the point where he didn’t want to come home and kept leading me back to her house on our walks. She is so professional, kind and amazing with animals. When my dog got a little anxious she was able to help him calm down. I cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I had a senior rescue dog of my own (blind and deaf and so sweet), and work from home full time. Happy to hang with your pup during the day and give them a safe, comfy place to relax! No yard, but I do have a park nearby. I’d be the best fit for smaller, lower energy pups, as I live in a very small apartment. I work from home, so will be with your pup throughout the day. We can go out for walks as often as your pup needs! I live in apartment building, so we will likely encounter other dogs on our way in/out - please let me know if they are dog reactive!
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. We got my first family dog at age six, and have always had one since! I’m very attentive, reliable, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, comforting environment, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I also understand how important communication is while you’re away, so I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and notes so you feel completely at ease. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re gone. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so walks, outdoor time, and play fit naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medication routines, or extra check-ins as needed. Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment is always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established routine to help minimize stress and keep things familiar. I’m attentive on walks, careful with doors, leashes, and feeding instructions, and always make sure pets are supervised appropriately. I also believe communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

“Grace has been so kind and accommodating with our little Luna! Even on days when our 11-year-old pup isn’t quite up for a walk, Grace still takes the time to bring her outside to a shady spot in the grass so she can enjoy some fresh air and the beautiful weather. We truly appreciate the extra care and attention she gives Luna”
“Joel is amazing with our big lab! He takes care to communicate and post photos of their adventures. I know Gus loves his time outside with this buddy! I'd highly recommend Joel's services. 🐾”
“Erik took our pup on an awesome long walk. I really appreciated the pictures and updates. It made us feel great knowing she got some great exercise and had a fun time 😊”
“Lisa was so good with my dog. She provided thorough updates of what they did, how Emma was and how their time together went. It’s reassuring to know that when I go to work, my dog gets a break during the day to go on a walk and use the bathroom and is well taken care of! So grateful for how sweet she is to my dog, and my dog also enjoys their time together!”

“Five huge stars to Linda for taking superb care of our girls! The quality and attention to detail paid by Linda makes us so happy (especially the dogs)! Both dogs are much happier once we return from our day from their time spent with Linda. I highly recommend Linda for any/all of your canine needs!”
“Illiana was very communicative and one of my dog’s favorite dog walkers. She is always on time, lets me know when she gets there and always send a post walk selfie to ease my mind. I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I was the primary caregiver to my childhood dog (who I considered my best friend) growing up from age 5 to age 20. I've been the primary babysitter including overnight stays for my sister's German shepherd since he was a puppy until now well into adulthood. My husband is allergic so I'm not able to own my own animals despite how much I LOVE them, so I'm looking to get my animal fix by helping other people take care of their animals during the day when they're busy and at work 🥰 I've found myself with a lot of free time during weekdays and would love to use that time to help people take care of their pets and take them on walks, while also getting more quality time myself with cute animals!! I am a responsible and experienced dog walker who would be happy to walk your dogs around their own neighborhood where they're comfortable, or bring them somewhere new near my dog friendly neighborhood in olde town Arvada!
About: I'm a true pet-lover, through and through. I grew up helping my grandmother foster and raise kittens as well as adult cats and dogs (particularly ones with special needs). My husband and I have our own sweet dog, Honey, who is and forever will be our 'first-born child' ha! I love to care for and interact with others' pets and hope to one day have my own farm's worth of animal babies. I've had experience with caring for puppies, kittens, and dogs with disabilities or special needs. I love to go on long walks or hikes in the morning and evening with our own dog and my schedule is very flexible, so I can check on your animals and/or walk them whenever you need me to! Currently I am home everyday and am available for walks or check-in's any weekday, barring any previous commitments (which I will communicate with you well in-advance). I have a car and am able to travel to pet owners' homes to hang out and/or walk your pets within a set schedule. I follow directions to a tee, and will always be respectful when arriving/leaving and inside of your home. I am happy to crate your pet(s) before leaving and happy to stay longer if needed.
“Thank you Maxene for taking us out, for running with us, for scratching our belies and specially for helping our mom with us!!!! We LOVE you and appreciate you soooo much!!!!”
“Juliana is great with our dog. She communicates timely and is punctual. She send photos and always lets us know how Zappa is doing. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha took great care of Poppy and we really appreciate her coming over and walking poppy, letting her run around outside and giving her treats”
“I highly recommend Hana for dog walking services! She was great with my pup on days where I needed some help breaking up the day with a walk while at work. Timely, professional and friendly. My pup Bonnie would have her any day.”
About: Hi, I’m Jack – Your Pet’s New Friend! I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. These days, I have my two cats, Meryl and Gilbert, and my golden retriever named Finley. I’ve helped friends and neighbors with their pets for years: walking, feeding, house-sitting, and giving meds when needed. I’ve also volunteered with rescue organizations many times, so I’m comfortable with animals that need a little extra patience or have unique needs. Every pet has their own personality, and I take the time to get to know what helps them feel safe, happy, and at ease. If I’m looking after your pet, I’ll treat them like one of my own. What You Can Expect When I Care for Your Pet: • Loving, Personalized Care: I get that every pet is special, and I take the time to get to know their unique personality, whether they need extra playtime, a gentle approach, or simply some good pats and scratches. • Daily Routine & Comfort: I understand the importance of routine for pets. I’ll stick to their schedule, ensuring they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. • All-Inclusive Attention: From walks, feeding, and fresh water to bathroom breaks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m here to meet all their needs. • Special Care for Nervous or Shy Pets: I’m patient and experienced with pets who need time to warm up. I’ll create a calm, safe space where they can feel comfortable. • A Pet Parent Myself: I start every day caring for my own two cats and dog so I understand the little things that make a big difference in keeping pets happy and healthy. Before We Get Started, I’d Love to Know: 1. Dietary Needs: Does your pet have any specific food preferences, allergies, or a set feeding schedule? 2. Behavioral Traits: Is your pet shy, playful, energetic, or prone to separation anxiety? Any quirks around other animals? I’m here to make sure your pet feels right at home, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Let’s chat and see how I can help! Looking forward to meeting you and your pet! – Jack As a devoted pet parent to two cats and a dog and someone who works mostly from home, pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. I understand the importance of ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for, whether it’s through regular feeding, going on walks, playtime, or offering comfort and companionship. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I strive to provide the same level of attention and care to others’ pets as I do my own. Love, patience, and compassion are key when caring for pets, especially those who may be a little shy at first. I focus on making sure they feel safe and comfortable, with plenty of attention to their needs—whether that’s fresh water, food, bathroom breaks, or just a bit of playtime. I’m attuned to each pet’s individual personality and always prioritize their well-being to provide the best possible care.

My dog also requires meds and she let me know each day how he did with taking them. He looked really happy and like he was having a good time in the pictures. Would definitely recommend.”
About: Hi, I’m Allison—your pet’s go-to gal! 🐾 My love for animals started early with my two childhood pets: Jack, my sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Lady, my orange cat who had plenty of personality and a special place in my heart. They taught me just how much joy, comfort, and companionship pets bring to our lives. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have always been the person friends and family call when they need someone reliable to care for their furry family members. More recently, I’ve been watching my friend’s Portuguese Water Dog and have officially become the go-to gal for all of my friends’ pet-sitting needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, sticking to routines, or extra cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My boyfriend and I would love a dog of our own someday, but because he currently works out of town, we’re waiting until his schedule changes. Until then, we’d love the chance to pour all that love and attention into caring for yours! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease and that your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, and my job is incredibly flexible, which makes pet care a perfect fit for my schedule. Because I’m home during the day, I can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles instead of pets being left alone for long stretches. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day to check in on your pets and adjust my schedule as needed to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat them like they’re my own. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions, because I know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Jonathan was amazing with our dog! We were so nervous as this was the first time we have left her with anyone other than family for an extended period of time but our pup was truly in good hands. She went to the park daily and had plenty of walks. We were updated throughout or vacation with pictures and videos. We will be using Jonathan again and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone who needs to have their fur babies cared for. He was wonderful!!”
“Sunny, thank you so much for taking such great care of the pups while we were in Costa Rica! It meant the world knowing they were in good hands. And staying up late for pickup — that was above and beyond. We’re so grateful for you! 🐾”
“Erin was amazing! My dog takes a bit to warm up and she was so patient and kind which made camber feel at home quickly! She sent lots of photo updates! I couldn't have asked for a better sitter”
“Words can’t fully express how amazing Sri and Matt were with Maya. From the very first meet-up, it was clear how much they cared—not just about dogs in general, but about her. They took the time to make sure she felt right at home, and that I felt at ease too. Throughout her stay, they sent tons of photos, showered her with playtime and affection, and honestly treated her like one of their own. The fact that they even threw her a birthday party—just melted my heart. I could tell she was absolutely thriving. I’d trust them with Maya a hundred times over and can’t recommend them enough.”
“Monty had a wonderful long weekend staying with Alicia, Kyle, their son and their pup Murray. Their home had a great setup for backyard play and they took such great care of Monty while we were out of town. We so appreciated the daily updates and know Monty will always be in great hands while staying with them. Highly recommend!”
“Betty had the best time staying with Hannah, and I got to follow along through all the photos she sent! I feel lucky to have found her, and confident leaving Betty with her in the future.”
