“Georgia is both professional and personable. She is a good communicator. She was flexible when we experienced unexpected delays on our trip. And she took great care of Mango.”
“Meera was so great with Luna!! I appreciated that she gave us daily updates with lots of pictures and videos. She also let us know how she was doing and if she was eating all of her food. It looks like Luna and their dog Zuko had a blast together! Zuko was extremely sweet and respectful and such a perfect playmate for Luna. We most definitely want to have Meera watch Luna again!”
“My pup always loves his time with Misty, she is very attentive and provides great updates. Her family and pups are great friends with my dog and they get along great. My pup doesn't want to come home at the end of the stay, which I think is the best indicator that he has a great stay every time he is with Misty.”
“Could not have asked for a better weekend-stay for my dog! I was worried he wouldnt want to come home haha Received great updates all weekend and my pup was happy as a clam!”
“Maggie was amazing and treated my pup Paisley like a princess during her stay. I got frequent updates and Maggie was very responsive. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future!”
“This was Wrigley's 2nd stay with Rachel and Maggie. Rachel is easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and pictures which provided peace of mind that my pup was thoroughly enjoying his visit. I will not hesitate to book future visits!”
“Wenqi (and Robert and the fur family) were just as I hoped and more. They know and clearly love dogs. Lots of hikes, welcomed my Shiba Inu onto their bed for cuddles, and my dog and their dog and cat played well together after an initial getting to know. Definitely plan to ask for their excellent help again. Happy dog:)”
About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My experience began when I fostered a mother cat and her six very young kittens. Several had respiratory infections, so I carefully administered their prescribed medication and monitored their care. I found loving homes for four of the kittens and adopted the other two. I later worked at a humane society and have also provided pet sitting for neighbors and family members. I raised my Doberman from 11 weeks old and have personally handled his basic training, exercise, enrichment, and daily routine. Having lived with pets throughout my life, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and giving every animal patient, attentive, and dependable care. Pet care is my primary professional focus, allowing me to offer dependable availability and give each booking my full attention. I provide walks, drop-ins, and limited boarding throughout the week. To ensure personalized care and a calm home environment, I board only one guest dog at a time, subject to availability and a successful meet-and-greet. I provide walks and drop-in care in my clients’ homes, as well as limited boarding in my own home. My home has a securely fenced one-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised exercise and play. I have a Doberman and three cats, with separate areas available so animals can have their own secure space when needed. I board only one guest dog at a time and require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. Introductions are handled gradually and supervised carefully, and pets are separated during meals and whenever supervision is not possible. Before every booking, I review each pet’s routine, temperament, feeding instructions, medical needs, emergency contacts, and behavioral considerations. Pet parents receive regular photos and updates throughout their pet’s stay or visit.
“Emily took wonderful care of our pup Mara. We reached out very last minute for a weekend sitting request, and Emily even found time to meet us for a meet and greet the day before we dropped Mara off. She sent regular updates on how Mara was doing, and she was clearly having a great time with her, Emily’s dog Osito, and Emily’s son. Would 100% book with Emily again!”
“Aubrey is amazing and very helpful. Fen is very enthusiastic to be around her and her pets. She has a fenced yard and plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. She was able to pick Fen up and drop him off. I am also rebooking her over Christmas!”
“Della was fantastic with my dog. She made sure he was comfortable with the other people and pets in the house and walked me through what his stay would look like. She sent plenty of pictures and updates through his stay.”
“This was the second time Curtis and his wife took care of our dog, Bono, and once again they were amazing. They treated him like their own and gave us complete peace of mind over the holidays. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them again.”
“Maddy is an excellent dog sitter. She provided detailed updates with thoughtful photos every day, and was very responsive in her communication. You can tell that she truly cares about animals and their wellbeing. Our dog had a great time staying with her, and we were so relieved that our dog was in safe hands. We highly recommend Maddy for pet care!”
“Elise sent plenty of pictures and took excellent care of my dog. Would highly recommend her, and plan on using her rover services again in the future!”
“Couldn’t be happier with Delane! Responded very quickly, was extremely considerate and accommodating and most importantly my dog had an amazing time! Was super comforting knowing my pup was safe and having a great time. Could not recommend Delane more!”
“Tigran took great care of Bruce! I got lots of videos of Bruce living his best life with Tigran's dogs. They ran and played in lots of bodies of water. Tigran was really flexible with drop off and pickup times. He even picked Bruce up on his way to hike with the dogs. We appreciate that on a busy travel day! Thank you Tigran.”
“We are grateful for the love and care Alexandra & Jeff plus kids gave to Arley during a long weekend stay. It's always nice to have peace of mind when traveling and we had that with them. Arley was well cared for and happy to see us -- and it was great to see a few pics of Arley doing well in their home. We will book again in the future.”
“Liliana was excellent in taking care of our dog on short notice. Frequent walks and updates on how he was doing were punctual and informative. A truly caring boarder that I highly recommend.”
“Katherine & Andrew were so great and I hope to hire them again. They took my dog on a bunch of adventures and took great care of her. Lots of great pictures and communication throughout the week. They also picked her up and dropped her off, which was a big help. I’ll definitely be recommending them to my neighbors and friends nearby.”

“Our cat Cosmo always seemed happy to see Wenqi and we appreciated the pictures she sent. She also kept our outdoor potted plants watered and alive during a July heatwave!”
“We hired Falecia to check in on our six year old kitty while we were out of town. Falecia does a wonderful job, from providing clear and detailed updates to making sure our girl is cared for while we're away.”
“Otelia was such a great Rover! I had such an easy experience. She is very communicative which helped alleviate any anxiety I felt about leaving my kitty. She even left me a handwritten note at the end!”
“Crystal is AMAZING! She's such an animal lover and took fantastic care of my kitty. Crystal was attentive, communicative, and a pleasure to be around. I was so lucky to have someone so responsible and caring while I went on a camping trip. What's more is that Crystal goes above and beyond. My kitty's food started attracting ants (ick). Crystal did everything she could to help the situation and even recommended several pet-friendly methods of extermination. I was so impressed at the lengths she took to ensure my cat was taken care of in that situation. Love her! Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Diana took good care of my catson Benny and was great about communicating updates. I came home from my trip away to find him well and happy! I recommend her services for anyone with cat sitting needs.”
About: I have experience in taking care of both senior and younger cats and dogs, and I genuinely love to care for animals! I love hiking so if you have a pet that needs more exercise I would be glad to take them on long walks. I also love to cuddle with pets so your animal would get lots of attention! I am starting my final semester at the end of August, so until then I am free at almost all hours of the day, and once school starts I have a lighter class schedule so I would be available for your pets in both the mornings and afternoons. I really do love animals so I am able to give them lots of attention, take them out for bathroom trips or long walks to tire them out, and also feed them when needed!
About: I’ve cared for cats my entire life—rescues, bottle babies-seniors, and fosters—and I understand that no two cats are alike. I’ve supported a cat through FIP treatment and have years of hands-on experience with fosters (as well as our three permanent cats), giving me the patience and intuition to care for cats with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or needs extra TLC, I’m here to give them the thoughtful, reliable care they deserve.
“Zak was truly wonderful! Super responsive, quick to reply, and provided updates throughout my trip. I was abroad during -17° temperatures and he even did a second visit to my place for the day during the night to make sure the heat was working for my cat and that my pipes weren’t frozen. I didn’t have internet access while away so this was all without my asking. I highly recommend him and would book again in a heartbeat! Thank you!!!”
“Rikku was great! He got to know our cat Boots quickly and boots warmed right up to him. When we got home boots seemed happy and comfortable. Would recommend Rikku!”
“Sofia did a great job of taking care of my two cats. She followed all of my instructions and even went beyond what I asked. She kept me updated and my cats looked perfectly happy in all the pictures she sent. Highly recommend.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Leandra! She was professional, responsive, and clearly passionate about animals. She followed all the instructions I provided and I received regular updates including text messages and photos which really put my mind at ease. When I returned home, my cat seemed happy, healthy, and well cared for — and my home was just as I left it. I will definitely hire Leandra again in the future!”
About: Hi there! I am a complete animal lover whether it's cats or dogs. I have had a cat for about 10 years now, taken care of her in various ways and I would be more than happy to take care of your cat and fill whatever needs they may have! I'm incredibly flexible and a caring person so your cat would be in good hands. I hope we can get in touch soon!
“Holly is amazing! She takes such good care of my puppy, Kevin! She is punctual, efficient, communicative and super caring and fun with Kevin😊 Simply put, a working dog dad’s dream! Thanks so much Holly!”
About: Having grown up with all sizes of dogs from a Jack Russell Terrier to a Collie, I am familiar with many different sizes and temperaments of dogs. I currently own a beautiful two year old rescue who absolutely loves other dogs. I started dog walking and house sitting for neighbors when I was 16 years old and then moved into making it my full time job. I've worked for various pet supply stores and dog boarding facilities and currently work at a holistic dog store in Boulder, CO. I am certified in pet nutrition as well as CPR for Canines and have some experience administering medication. I love being able to tire out dogs with play, knowing that is what I would expect and want from a pet sitter or walker myself. Working with dogs is a highlight of my day and i would love to work with yours.

“Gus LOVED his time here. He got to play all day and every picture looked like the happiest guy on the block! It was also evident how much he loved it when I picked him up.. he didn’t want to leave! The only time he does that is with his foster mom. I would trust them any other time as they clearly made a paradise for my boy. Also their dog is so sweet and clearly a happy pup who loves to play. Last, great communication throughout the day!! Thank you again, Jessica!”
“Rui and her partner did a great job caring for my dog with separation anxiety. They were very accommodating and easy to work with. Rui was very communicative throughout the stay, sending pictures and a report card of their day together. It is a relief to know that I can trust them to meet the special needs of my dog. I recommend them and will be using their services again myself too!”
“Jacky was AMAZING with Mecum, I swear he had the best night of his life. She was super attentive to his needs and brought him for many fun activities. Best Rover person I’ve ever met!!! I’m so grateful I met her and can’t wait for future trips for her to hang out with him! :) he moved right in and loved it. Thank you, Jacky! She also sent me frequent updates throughout the night and sent pictures/ videos. You’re the best, Jacky!!!!”
“Murphy had a lovely time at daycare with Barbara and her family. She arrived at home utterly exhausted after a full day of activity (her favorite!) Thank you so much, Barbara!”
“Tatum was so sweet with Piper and very responsive to our last minute request! I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Piper back to her again for any future stays. She seemed to have a great time with her!”
About: I have over 15 years of dog caring experience, involving different breeds, ages, and personalities. My specialty is smaller doggies. My philosophy with care makes sure dogs get active time, park time, quality time, fun adventures, time with friends, and lots of affection. I make sure your doggy needs are met, being versatile with the activities we do while they stay at my place. As a mostly remote worker, I have a lot of flexibility and ample time to take your dog on walks and give them lots of care and attention, be it on the couch or outside. Doggies have access to water, clean bowls, toiletries, and all their basic needs. My entire place is dog-proofed, so hazard mitigation is present. Dogs have the opportunity of enjoying different surfaces based on their needs, including hardwood, carpet, rugs, and a comfy couch.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and got one of my own as soon as I could. I love dogs and will treat yours as I would my own. We love to walk, hike, take the dogs swimming and fishing. My dog, Willie, is a sweet heart and will keep your dog company! Thanks for considering us and let us know if you have any questions! My boyfriend and I live together and he works full time from home and I’m in the office 3 days a week. Your pets will be well taken care of as we have lots of time to tend to them We have a shared backyard that we use for our dog and a park less than 5 minutes walking. Our dog is treated just like another human in the house and we will do the same for yours.
“Christine was fantastic and Lulu had a great time playing with Hondo! Lulu is a very anxious dog—Christine was understanding of her needs and Lulu warmed to her within just this first daycare visit. I’ll definitely be booking again and grateful to have another spot where I know Lu will be happy and wonderfully cared for.”
“Elizabeth was so easy to coordinate with, which was really helpful during a little bit of a chaotic day of scheduling. I so appreciate her flexibility. Merlin had an awesome day!!”
“Tigran was easy to communicate with and was able to take care of Ruby on short notice. It seems she had a great time and was well taken care of!”
“Laika's stay with Alison went well: she was socialized with other dogs, which is great, and she had access to the outdoors to romp and play. She was sleepy when we got home, which is fantastic. :) Alison also sent plenty of pictures so I got to appreciate some of the adventures Laika was having.”
“Thomas is the best! He is so kind and trustworthy. He takes my dog three days per week for exercise while I am on maternity leave, and he has been so caring and dependable! His love of animals really shines through!”

About: I’m Leo. Your dog will get walks, play, photos, and real company, not an empty house. I won’t only do these things because they need it but I’m happy to. I go hiking or biking almost every day. All sizes. I’ll follow your routine. You get updates the whole time. Request a meet and greet and we’ll go from there. I bet ill love your dog more than they love me. I’m a sophomore living on the Hill in Boulder. Most days look the same, which is good for dogs. I walk to campus for about an hour of class in the morning. Then I come straight home. I make lunch, take your dog out, hang on the floor with them, throw a toy, or just let them nap next to me while I study. That stretch in the middle of the day is a few hours, so they are not sitting in an empty place waiting. Afternoon class is one to two hours. Same thing after: walk home, another outing, water, treats, and time together. Nights I am home. Your dog will not be alone for more than two hours. If they need a mid-day walk, extra play, or just someone in the room, that is already built into how my day works. I’ll treat your dog how I’d want mine (really my mom’s) to be treated. I'm happy to give you access to my Amazon Alexa so you can see and maybe even interact with your dog. My place on the Hill is set up for dogs first. Doors stay shut, trash is put away, cords and anything chewable get picked up before a guest arrives. If I have your dog, they are not loose in a room I have not already checked. I do a meet and greet so we both know the vibe before any overnight. I follow your rules on food, crate, meds, and where they sleep. I do not leave them loose with the front door or windows open. When I leave for class they are either crated if that is what you want or in a safe closed-off space, and I am never gone more than two hours. Trust for me is simple. You get photos and a short update when I get home and when we go out. If something feels off I tell you right away instead of hoping it blows over. If you also have a cat, I keep them separate from dogs unless you say they already live together. Litter, food, and a quiet room stay theirs. I do not force handling. I let them come to me. The goal is a calm house, not a chaotic one. I live alone in an apartment, so I’m happy to have your pet as a buddy.
“We accidentally gave Chloe the wrong address, which we know was a huge inconvenience. Despite the mix-up, she was incredibly gracious, didn't give up, and made sure our dog got a great walk. We are so grateful for how she handled it, and tofu was so happy and healthy when we got home. Chloe is trustworthy, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her!”
“Tonnie is amazing with our pups and made them comfortable immediately despite their nervous tendencies. We’ve never had any issues with her and our pups are always very happy to see her!!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and for the past two years I’ve lived on a farm where I have gained experience caring for many different types of animals. We also double as a kitten rescue, taking in lost and abandoned kittens from newborns through teenagers. We bottle-feed, raise, and care for them until they are healthy, grown, and ready to be adopted into loving homes. I am extremely passionate about healthy and safe animal care and ensure that in my work. I am a college student and recently moved away from home and my farm, and the first priority on my list was getting back into work with animals. Being at CU I am occupied in the mornings and late afternoon. Anywhere between 11am-1pm I am free in between classes, and anytime after 4/5pm at night. I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. Having cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and a variety of farm animals, I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, giving them exercise and playtime, and keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. Through helping my mom run our farm and caring for rescued kittens, including newborns, I’ve also learned how important it is to be gentle, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs.
About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I am currently a full time student without a flexible schedule. I don’t have a job, so I have plenty of availability for your dogs. I have a dog back home who is truly my best friend, and I miss him so much while I’m away. I’ve always absolutely loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I would love to play with your dogs, take them on walks, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never lonely while you’re away!
About: Hello pet parents! I hope you choose me to help care for your pets - I can't wait to meet them! I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I grew up with many varieties of animals among the years and numerous cats and dogs. I have always been a huge animal lover and can't wait until I have the property and space to home more friends! Until then, I am eager to meet others' animals and help take care of them and give them lots of love! The very first thing I have always done at new people's houses with animals is greet all of the animals. I am a highly energetic individual with a strong eye that seeks to pay attention to the needs of other beings. I am looking forward to hearing from you and your pets I make my own scheduled so I am highly flexible and available for caring for your pets! I have two cats and a fish that I give lots of love and attention daily - and looking forward to caring more for other animals too! I do not have a home space in which I am capable of taking in others animals currently, but I take care of the pets at the owners home this same way! First thing when I get home is to greet my pets and give them attention and love. I play for a little and then check to see the water bowl is full (and for my cats that the food is also - I know dogs are on a schedule). With dogs, I would regularly schedule times to take them out for walks - and make sure I match them for however they wanna walk! (Slow, adventurous, running a little faster) I make sure that I have plenty of plastic bags and treats to take with on the walk. I do not like to leave dogs alone for more than 2-4 hours. I love interacting with animals and giving them lots of attention!
About: I love animals but I unfortunately travel too much to have pets. I understand that pets need attention and care which is why I don’t have one for myself but I would love to support other pets and make sure pets are getting the care they need. Im like the cool aunt for pets. I grew up in a house with lots of cats and dogs and have done a few dog siting jobs here and there. Your pets will be in great care with me. I’m great at walking! Just finished walking 2000+ miles from Mexico to Canada. I’m currently working at Snowbird and have very limited hours at the beginning of the season. I should have lots of days off available to provide care. I am aware of safety when walking I will make sure your pet is not close to the road or any danger. I will also make sure your pet doesn’t get away. Growing up I had a dog that loved to run away and I’m very aware of how dogs/cats can be when getting out of the house.
“Cassidy was amazing. She was so accommodating, helped us with a last minute situation which we’re super thankful for. She was very communicative, punctual, flexible, and my boy absolutely loved her and her dog Rex. She’s a keeper! Thank you sooo much Cassidy!”
About: I have not had a single day, in my 21 years on this planet, without owning 1 dog and 2+ cats. I know just how important our pets are to us as they are part of our family! Other than taking care of my own pets, I have fostered cats for 10 years with my mom. This includes baby bottle kittens to senior cats. Also, I take care of my neighbors and friends pets! I’m in school but my schedule is very open so I can do any time of the days. Also my weekends are usually completely open! I have done all the basics for animals like feeding, cleaning after and taking them for walks. I have also had to feed my pets medicines if that is necessary for your pets too
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.
About: I have my own very playful pup and have taken care of friend’s dogs for years. My dog is fully trained and loves having other dogs around. We do lots of walks, play time, parks and sometimes the beach! I work from home and leave for an hour or two max a day I work full time from home so the dogs get lots of attention during the day. Play time or a walk first thing in the morning then multiple times out throughout the day. I often take the dogs on hikes as well I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood and an energetic pup to keep any dog entertained. Dogs have lots of places to lay down inside and parks/trails to play at outside
About: I love dogs (and cats!) of all personalities and especially love being active with them, such as going on hikes or jogs, playing fetch, or simply hanging out at the park. I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and learning what makes them them! I am available outside of the following hours: 2-4:30pm Monday-Friday, 5:30-7pm Mondays and Thursdays, and 4-6pm on Wednesdays. Other than these times, I am free to be booked! I have a large, fenced in yard with no other pets, which is great if your pet has trouble around other animals. I also live very close to North Boulder park! And when I am caring for your animal at your home, I am mindful of private spaces and boundaries, and I always make sure to entirely clean up after myself.
About: Having grown up with all sizes of dogs from a Jack Russell Terrier to a Collie, I am familiar with many different sizes and temperaments of dogs. I currently own a beautiful two year old rescue who absolutely loves other dogs. I started dog walking and house sitting for neighbors when I was 16 years old and then moved into making it my full time job. I've worked for various pet supply stores and dog boarding facilities and currently work at a holistic dog store in Boulder, CO.

I love being able to tire out dogs with play, knowing that is what I would expect and want from a pet sitter or walker myself. Working with dogs is a highlight of my day and i would love to work with yours.
About: I am respectful, kind, and trustworthy. Your pet(s)/household will be in safe, reliable hands with me. I have extensive experience with large dog breeds, too (grew up with Bernese Mountain Dogs). I believe in treating others’ animals and property as I’d want someone to treat mine. Does your household have a particular routine or preferences? Just let me know. I want you and your family to be as comfortable as possible. If you need oral or subcutaneous medications administered, I would love to help keep your loved ones in the best health possible. House sitting engagements will leave your property as if I was never there and your pets well loved and treated with the decency all living beings deserve. Currently a parent of a husky named Thomas and three cats named Tony, Calypso, and Tut. Cats and dogs- I’ve had one or both my entire life. I use positive reinforcement training on my own. I work a set schedule Monday-Friday, so they will have consistency/stability throughout the weekdays. On the weekends, I’ll be available to spend the entire day with your fuzzy family members. How I care for your pets is strongly influenced by what you share with me. Household rules like crating, furniture rules, and routines will all be discussed with you and then adhered to during my stay. I also offer to bring in the mail, take out the trash, water the plants, and feed the goldfish. You know, those little details that matter.

“Meera was so great with Luna!! I appreciated that she gave us daily updates with lots of pictures and videos. She also let us know how she was doing and if she was eating all of her food. It looks like Luna and their dog Zuko had a blast together! Zuko was extremely sweet and respectful and such a perfect playmate for Luna. We most definitely want to have Meera watch Luna again!”

“This was Wrigley's 2nd stay with Rachel and Maggie. Rachel is easy to communicate with and sent daily updates and pictures which provided peace of mind that my pup was thoroughly enjoying his visit. I will not hesitate to book future visits!”
About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My experience began when I fostered a mother cat and her six very young kittens. Several had respiratory infections, so I carefully administered their prescribed medication and monitored their care. I found loving homes for four of the kittens and adopted the other two. I later worked at a humane society and have also provided pet sitting for neighbors and family members. I raised my Doberman from 11 weeks old and have personally handled his basic training, exercise, enrichment, and daily routine. Having lived with pets throughout my life, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and giving every animal patient, attentive, and dependable care. Pet care is my primary professional focus, allowing me to offer dependable availability and give each booking my full attention. I provide walks, drop-ins, and limited boarding throughout the week. To ensure personalized care and a calm home environment, I board only one guest dog at a time, subject to availability and a successful meet-and-greet. I provide walks and drop-in care in my clients’ homes, as well as limited boarding in my own home. My home has a securely fenced one-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised exercise and play. I have a Doberman and three cats, with separate areas available so animals can have their own secure space when needed. I board only one guest dog at a time and require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. Introductions are handled gradually and supervised carefully, and pets are separated during meals and whenever supervision is not possible. Before every booking, I review each pet’s routine, temperament, feeding instructions, medical needs, emergency contacts, and behavioral considerations. Pet parents receive regular photos and updates throughout their pet’s stay or visit.
“Aubrey is amazing and very helpful. Fen is very enthusiastic to be around her and her pets. She has a fenced yard and plenty of room for dogs to run around and play. She was able to pick Fen up and drop him off. I am also rebooking her over Christmas!”
“Della was fantastic with my dog. She made sure he was comfortable with the other people and pets in the house and walked me through what his stay would look like. She sent plenty of pictures and updates through his stay.”
“Maddy is an excellent dog sitter. She provided detailed updates with thoughtful photos every day, and was very responsive in her communication. You can tell that she truly cares about animals and their wellbeing. Our dog had a great time staying with her, and we were so relieved that our dog was in safe hands. We highly recommend Maddy for pet care!”
“Elise sent plenty of pictures and took excellent care of my dog. Would highly recommend her, and plan on using her rover services again in the future!”
“Tigran took great care of Bruce! I got lots of videos of Bruce living his best life with Tigran's dogs. They ran and played in lots of bodies of water. Tigran was really flexible with drop off and pickup times. He even picked Bruce up on his way to hike with the dogs. We appreciate that on a busy travel day! Thank you Tigran.”
“We are grateful for the love and care Alexandra & Jeff plus kids gave to Arley during a long weekend stay. It's always nice to have peace of mind when traveling and we had that with them. Arley was well cared for and happy to see us -- and it was great to see a few pics of Arley doing well in their home. We will book again in the future.”
“Liliana was excellent in taking care of our dog on short notice. Frequent walks and updates on how he was doing were punctual and informative. A truly caring boarder that I highly recommend.”
“Katherine & Andrew were so great and I hope to hire them again. They took my dog on a bunch of adventures and took great care of her. Lots of great pictures and communication throughout the week. They also picked her up and dropped her off, which was a big help. I’ll definitely be recommending them to my neighbors and friends nearby.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Julia! From the moment we met her, I could tell that she really understands dogs and knows how to read their behavior. She balances warmth and sensitivity with confident, grounded leadership, so she clearly knows how to set appropriate boundaries and make dogs feel secure without being harsh or overbearing. She was effortlessly attentive and tuned in to my girl Cedar’s needs during our meet & greet, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her dog, Daisy, is such a sweet and gentle being as well. I’m so grateful my pup had such a good and safe doggie friend while I was away! Julia communicated through thoughtful little updates, anecdotes, pics, and vids, so I knew how Cedar was doing. She also went above and beyond by taking her on extra-special walks and giving her plenty of fun, enriching time outside. I’m very particular about who I leave my dog with, and I would absolutely trust Julia with her again. I feel really lucky to have found her!”
“Amy was great to work with! She gave Dixie a lot of love and attention with lots of updates! You can tell she loves dogs and is attentive to details. Would definitely recommend and would leave my girl with her anytime!”
“My dog spent a wonderful weekend with Christine and her calm and sweet-natured pup. Christine did a wonderful job getting her exercised and reported with regular updates on how she was doing with pics included. When I picked my dog up on Sunday, she was happy, well fed and ready to come home. I'd recommend Christine to anyone for a caring and communicative dogsitter.”
“This was Hugo’s first stay with Noah. He was very communicative and sent multiple pictures every day letting me know how he was doing. Hugo came home very tired but very content. 10/10 would recommend.”
