“My dog Butters had a great time at Margaret's! She did a great job communicating with me daily and sending so many fun pictures and videos. He even got to go on a hike, which he really enjoys.”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She took such great care of my dog while I was out of town - she kept me updated with messages and photos. My dog absolutely adored her! She gave him tons of love and snuggles and treated him like her own. He was so happy with her that he didn’t even want to leave when I came to pick him up! I’d 100% book with Kaitlyn again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Victoria was amazing with my dog Benji! She took such great care of him and treated him like her own. She sent lots of photos and videos, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. Benji looked so happy playing with her! I’m really grateful for how patient, kind, and caring she was. I highly recommend Victoria to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to watch their dog.”
“Kristen is awesome. This is the second time I’ve used her. She always sends me pictures and updates and my dogs look so happy in her care. I will use her again. Awesome service.”
“Shakti and Andrew were awesome with our Aussie boys!!! They are so nice and truly care. We got lots of great photos/updates and the boys got lots of exercise and love when they were there. Thank you both!!”
“Mike was a fantastic sitter. He made sure to send updates every morning and night, with pictures. He has a great little family and they are super accommodating. My flight got cancelled due to a huge storm and ended up landing at 4am the next day. He allowed Moose to stay an extra night with no problems whatsoever and really made me feel comfortable about where my dog was while I was dealing with a super long night of travel. I would absolutely recommend”
“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!”
“Leaving Phil with Erin was the best decision! She was communicative during the entire 8 days. She sent many photos and videos of Phil playing with her dogs. I never worried about Phil being in good hands. Erin treated Phil like one of her own!”
“Hannah was awesome. Very communicative & helpful. She sent pictures daily and kept me up to date while being in a different country. Would definitely recommend/request again”
“Had another amazing boarding experience! Erica took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and made the whole process stress free. My pup came home happy and well cared for. Definitely would book again!”
“Our two puppos spent four days with Cody and Nicole and they were such amazing dog-people. Our dogs had a great time in their back yard and even got to go for a couple rides in the car! Cody and Nicole had great communication and clearly a passion for dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to let them stay here again!”
“Zory + Kent provided more than just a boarding solution for Karoo - they gave her a full-on multi day retreat full of her favorite things; she was wrapped up in endless attention and love. They genuinely adopted Karoo as their grandchild and they will be my 1st choice anytime I need to use Rover again in the future. At our meet and greet, I developed trust for them immediately. They gave me 2 pieces of paper to take home and fill out to ensure they knew about all of Karoo's favorite things, habits, emergency contacts, etc. As Zory sent me her incredibly cute/informative updates throughout the weekend, I could tell she was curating the weekend to intentionally make Karoo as happy and fulfilled as possible. I will recommend Zory + Kent to all of the dog owners I know and I'm sure Karoo will be extremely excited to go back again in the future.”
“Chris, Amber & the kids took amazing care of Moose! It truly felt like a home away from home for him. He had plenty of backyard space to play, got long walks, lots of attention, and we received daily photos and great communication. Definitely recommend!”
“Kelli and Larkin took such amazing care of Argos! We got tons of photo updates and you could tell when we picked him up that he was well cared for and happy. Thank you!!”
“Erin was available when I needed to board my cat on a tight deadline. She was so accommodating and helpful, and even spotted that I had accidentally booked a more expensive dog boarding reservation instead of a cat boarding one, saving me money. She took wonderful pictures and helped my car feel comfortable and happy while I was away. Thank you!”
“Sam is an amazing pet sitter! She loves our pets like they are her own. She kept us updated with lots of photos. Our pups hate to leave her home after all the amazing love they receive there!”
“Tabea was so great and took such nice care of our dog and communicated very well throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”

About: Hi, I’m Megan and I love pets! I grew up with two family cats and took personal responsibility for their well-being. In high school I pet sat for neighborhood pups. Going off to college I missed my best friend kitty and would FaceTime with her! Always a joy to be reunited. Since then I have been intentional for caring for the cats and dogs I come into contact with. I am a happy dauntie (dog auntie) to a golden retriever and love to spoil him with play, adventures, and quality care. I am so excited to meet your pets and build a special bond that supports their individual needs. Pet care is a a passion of mine and I like to fit it into my rotating schedule. Days off are times to dedicate to pet care. Two days off a week are allotted to intentional time with pets. Following owner instructions is the key to pet well-being and happiness! Combining my own experience with cats, dogs, and rodents with the expert directions left by the pet’s loved ones I’m able to provide an optimal experience for all. Popping in to meet pets physical and emotional needs- feeding, watering, play, and walks as arranged!
“Sarah was outstanding! We have three pups and she was able to handle them all with ease! From taking care of all the routine tasks for the pups to providing some comfort during unexpected fireworks in the neighborhood it was a relief to have someone like Sarah providing care. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be circling back when we need care in the future!”
“Kirstin was a great communicator and provided me with a detailed report and lots of photos of my sweet cat Penny. Penny clearly warmed up to her quickly as she was giving Kirstin head butts by day 3. Kirstin is clearly great with cats and we will be asking her to help pet sit again!”
“Ella quickly made us feel much more comfortable about leaving our cats for an 8 day trip. We have a special needs cat who she gave special attention to which we were very grateful for. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Sara took great care of our kitties during a 17 day trip. The pictures she sent were perfect and her quick responses to our questions gave us peace of mind for such a long trip. She did a wonderful job getting the cats comfortable with her over that time too.”
“Marina has been so great watching our cats who can be a little difficult. We have hired rovers in the past and would not hire anyone but her with our babies. She is very sweet and has been so helpful!”
“Marissa was so wonderful with Gracie, and went above and beyond. This is the best mood Gracie has ever been in after I’ve gotten back from a trip. I would definitely recommend Marissa.”
“Absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Super reliable, caring, and communicative. I felt completely comfortable knowing my older cat was in great hands while I was away. I’ll definitely book again and highly 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.”
“Sara is so sweet! She really cares about my bunny which makes my heart sing when I have to be away for work. She communicates very well and is so compassionate with my bunny. I would recommend her to everyone! She's one of my favorite sitters :)”

About: I LOVE dogs!! I've grown up with two dogs and they got me through my adolescent years which is no easy feat. I now have two dogs of my own and we spend lots of time at the dog park getting to know many different types of dogs and learning how each breed interacts. I am an extremely responsible person who is prompt and compassionate. I would love the opportunity to take care of, walk or just check in on your dog/dogs! I'm home most of the day so I have lots of free time to spend with your dog. I also am happy to run with your dog or take them to the park if they need a little extra exercise. I'm here for whatever you need and can't wait to get started! I currently have a part-time job a few days a week so the rest of the time I am free to spend with your dog! I am available through the day and nights as well. I have a very dog friendly home and 2 sweet dogs who love to play and make friends. They will definitely tire your dog out with lots of safe play and we love to play fetch!

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“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!”
“Ryot had the best day playing with Maple. He came home happy and tired! Erica is amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving Ryot with her. She was very welcoming and spent extra time with him during a thunderstorm - which meant a lot to us. Will definitely be back - if they will have us.”
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter and felt really comfortable leaving our dogs in their care. Our dogs were well cared for in a warm, home-like environment, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy dogs and would definitely use them again!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was young! I treat all of the dogs like family and my number one goal is for them to be as comfortable as possible while away from their favorite people. I do boarding along with my Son Derek, he has over 325 5 star reviews on Rover that accurately portray the experience your dogs will have when staying with us. I am happy to answer any questions you may have and am always open to meeting beforehand! I am retired and always around to spend time with the Pet's I look after. I really love watching the dogs play and participate with them often. They like to crowd around me and watch me drink coffee while I listen to the radio. It sets the stage to settle down after fun time. Pet's need their quiet time too. I do dog boarding and am also available for drop ins and house sittings! I am with the dogs inside and outside. I have a big backyard and they love it! Fresh water and we follow your feed schedule. I treat all our 'Pet Guest's' like they are family. If I am the 'Guest Caregiver', I do the same so your Pet feels comfortable. Our house is their house. I do the same for Pet Sitting.
“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!”
“Chelsea and Chuck are the sweetest and have the most beautiful property! They were very accommodating for a last minute request and will certainly be my new go-to!”
About: Hey my name is Myranda and for starters I’d like to say that I’m not a professional dog caretaker but it’s my dream to be one and give your dog a home when you can’t be. I am a mother of 2 fur babies a 14 year old Shitzhu (Sammy) that passed recently, 5 year old pug mix (princess). They each have such different needs and personalities I’ve adapted very quick to all, a challenge has never been an issue for me i’ve made sure every animal I’ve worked with has been loved and cared for like my own while also being strict on the guidelines and requirements requested by the owner. I’ve worked in multiple Doggy daycares/boarding throughout the years and learned plenty, the only reason I stopped is to start the path to becoming a vet tech! Life does get in the way sometimes but my passion is to work with animals in anyway and be the person you can always trust and rely on. I’ve engaged with many types of dogs from a teacup Yorkie named Layla to a 80lb boxer named Fraser. The bigger they are the bigger the baby! Size has never been an issue. I have a large fenced in back yard, and air conditioner throughout my home for your dogs comfort. I definitely am not a type of sitter to lock a dog away all day. I do prefer a crate trained dog for nighttime but I am flexible bring your own crate or dog bed if not I have some. I have extra toys,food,bowls, leashes and treats to make it easier on the owner and make the doggie just a little bit happier. To wrap up I basically am your 100% day in and day out dog lover, I want to use this money to help pursue my career in the veterinary field so you can always trust that I’m not doing this for the extra few bucks but because I truly am passionate about the care and wellbeing of your fur baby and hopefully my new furry friend. Thank you! Ps. And my prices are pretty low because I know things are tough right now and if I could help out someone I definitely will, I am flexible with almost everything and we could always negotiate. I am doing rover full time. Although I am a mother it’s my goal to make each dog I sit feel like home, whether that’s cuddled up with the kids and I, sunbathing outside with me, or just playing with the other dogs. Depending on the dog I am watching I will feed them based on their specific diet, walk them in the morning and afternoon and then spend some relaxing time in the cool house especially during the hot summer days. If they prefer to be outside I will make sure they’re hydrated and let them run and play with my dogs. But also on the other hand if they like to just kick back and relax I am always happy to rub belly’s and give cuddles.
“Jacquie was very sweet from the start. Asking all the right questions for Willy’s first time meeting her. She gave me great updates throughout the day, and effortlessly accommodated when I had to ask for a later pick up time. Willy was so sad when we were leaving. We can’t wait to go back!”
About: I truly love dogs and will make sure you and your pet are comfortable in my care while you are away. I adapt to their schedules quickly whether that’s feeding time, exercise, snuggles, car rides, etc. I have a perfect house with a fenced in yard where they can go in and out of the house as they please. I live an active lifestyle and look forward to giving them a daily walk and nightly belly rubs. I value communication and will make sure you receive timely updates and pictures so you can have peace of mind and reduce stress. I will make sure I care for them as if they are my own and prioritize my time with them. I currently work from home so will be available during both days and nights to make sure the pet has human interaction, is always fed on schedule, and has ample bathroom and play time breaks. I am an active person and would love to take them on a walk or play fetch if that fits into the dogs schedule as well. I live in a house in a safe and comfortable neighborhood with a fenced in yard, doggie door, and grass for them to run around and play. I don’t have any other pets in the house so my time with the pet would be my priority at all times.
“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of my puppy while my husband was in the hospital. You truly went above and beyond by sending pictures and videos, taking my dog on walks, and making sure she was happy and cared for during such a difficult time for us. I’m so grateful for your kindness, professionalism, and support. You are an amazing pet sitter, and I highly recommend you!”
“Sophie handled a concern I had as the pet parent with great care and compassion. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing care for their animals. She went above and beyond !”

“Erin was so great with our dog! Easy in and easy out and he had a marvelous time! Convenient location in LoDo on the edge of downtown but not directly IN it, so was so easy to hop on I-25 to take him home. Our dog was definitely all smiles!”
“Susan is consistently conscientious, caring and flexible! I never worry one bit about the safety or happiness of my dog while she is with her. My dog's excitement when we pull up to her house is all the proof I need that she enjoys being there. I would recommend Susan 1000%. She is hands down the best!”

About: I grew up with almost every type of animal you can think of. Dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, lizards, birds, even a chinchilla, I’ve always had animals in my life and greatly love them. I now own 2 cats and a large dog, and am often the go to friend to dog sit, so I’m used to having a mini zoo in the house and I love it.

I’m comfortable with all ages, and have experience administering medications if needed. I manage 3 pets in the house, so I’m the one that wakes up early to feed everyone and ensure they are fed around the same time each day, twice a day. I’m the pets go to person when they want something (attention, bathroom break, snacks).

When providing drop ins, I will abide by your instructions and make sure your fur baby gets the needed attention while you’re away.
“Felecia cares deeply for the animals she sees. She takes time to understand their needs and routines. High maintenance dogs or dogs that haven't been trained are not a deal breaker for her. I was very worried about bringing my dog over since he can be a handful, but Felecia was willing to take care of him. She gave me thorough feedback about his stay when I picked him up. Your dog is in good hands with her.”

About: Long time volunteer veteran at multiple Humane Societies specializing in Humane Education, dog walking, cat comforting, adoption counseling and animal interaction. I have been around and am very comfortable around dogs, cats, horses and other animals all my life. Passionate about helping others and working with animals. I occasionally tend to spoil our four legged friends. Honest, trustworthy, reliable, friendly and easy to communicate with. Familiar with the different types of dog breeds small, toy, medium and large. No problems interacting with puppies to seniors, shy, or energetic and those four legged friends with special needs. I am readily available looking to make some extra money to pay off my student loans while having the opportunity to help people and their four legged family members . I’m currently working a flexible part-time schedule from home and have plenty of time for your pet. I am very reliable with effective time management skills. Your pet will have my full attention at all times. I am very self aware of my surroundings especially when I am taking care of your pets while they are with me. I have lots of experience working with pets on and off leashes as well as with crates if necessary. I have great intuition as to how a dog feels and I understand body language well.

About: I currently reside with and help care for a giant loveable Bernese and an energetic 5 month old blue heeler. I have taken care of everything in between. I am comfortable handling puppies that need a lot of attention as well as older or special needs dogs that require patience and understanding. I want to help guide and influence your dog to behave in a positive way. By reinforcing your dogs desirable behaviors there is less chance that they will indulge in behaviors you don't like. I do not reinforce behaviors with force or dominance techniques. This breaks the dog's trust in me and a true bond is built on trust. I just want your dog to be happy and fulfilled while you are away!

“Had another amazing boarding experience! Erica took great care of my dog, kept me updated, and made the whole process stress free. My pup came home happy and well cared for. Definitely would book again!”
“Our two puppos spent four days with Cody and Nicole and they were such amazing dog-people. Our dogs had a great time in their back yard and even got to go for a couple rides in the car! Cody and Nicole had great communication and clearly a passion for dogs. I wouldn't hesitate to let them stay here again!”
“Zory + Kent provided more than just a boarding solution for Karoo - they gave her a full-on multi day retreat full of her favorite things; she was wrapped up in endless attention and love. They genuinely adopted Karoo as their grandchild and they will be my 1st choice anytime I need to use Rover again in the future. At our meet and greet, I developed trust for them immediately. They gave me 2 pieces of paper to take home and fill out to ensure they knew about all of Karoo's favorite things, habits, emergency contacts, etc. As Zory sent me her incredibly cute/informative updates throughout the weekend, I could tell she was curating the weekend to intentionally make Karoo as happy and fulfilled as possible. I will recommend Zory + Kent to all of the dog owners I know and I'm sure Karoo will be extremely excited to go back again in the future.”
“Kelli and Larkin took such amazing care of Argos! We got tons of photo updates and you could tell when we picked him up that he was well cared for and happy. Thank you!!”
“Tabea was so great and took such nice care of our dog and communicated very well throughout the whole process! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter.”
“Steve and Susan are incredible dog sitters. So lucky to have found them. I have an older dog who requires a lot of special care and they took amazing care of her. They sent pictures every day and I knew she was doing well. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“Thomas was very responsive, communicative, and easy to coordinate with! We fully trusted him to watch our pup while we were out of the country. It was great that he had a fenced in yard and made sure our dog was safe and cared for.”
“Erin is so sweet and loved on my pup the whole stay! She nurtured my dogs gentle and goofy nature. She was instantly comfortable. 10/10 would recommend and stay again!”
“Sunnie was great! Her dogs Ash and Pip got along great with my golden and they had a ton of fun together! Sunnie was communicative and sent me pics and videos of my dog! Would use Sunnie again in the future!”
