“Misty and her family always take special care with Finley to ensure he gets the attention, care, support and nutrition he needs to be healthy and happy. I am always relieved when I pick up my dog, and he is so happy.”
“Nutmeg had a wonderful long weekend with Kim and Fred. She got to explore their backyard and went on walks in the neighborhood. I picked up a happy dog today!”
“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!”
“Georgia did a great job with my two dogs, they warmed up to her quickly and I felt that they were safe with her. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos.”
“Della is an amazing dog sitter! She sent tons of photos of our dog outside getting exercise, playing with other dogs, and getting lots of love indoors. I would absolutely trust Della with our dog again.”
“Maggie took such great care of my dog. From multiple updates a day and long walks to tire my pup out, I knew my dog was in good hands. She seemed so happy in the videos Maggie sent me and it was even hard for my dog to leave when the time came to go home. She was so incredibly flexible with pickup and drop off as well. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter would definitely use Maggie again.”
“Maddy was very professional with great communication. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and it looked like my pup got LOTS of love and attention. Georgia was content and sleepy after pickup, so I know she had a great time and got a workout. Having a fenced backyard is also a big plus. I will definitely take Georgia to Maddy again for sitting.”
“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.”
“Noah has a great space for dog sitting and I could tell Chloe and Lucy felt immediately comfortable with him and the area. He also snagged some excellent action photos of them!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Aubrey’s house. He had lots of furry friends to play with, spent time exploring outside and received many cuddles and love. Aubrey was wonderful at sending daily updates and pictures. Our pup came back exhausted from all the fun he had. Can’t wait to use Aubrey again next time we are away!”
“Rachel is not only an extraordinary pet sitter, but she is an extraordinary person. Kind and delightful. She was wonderful with Buddha Bear and sent us lots of "Pupdates" of their walks, feeding, and hanging out in the yard. I know Bear had a great time. It was a bit challenging for us because we moved to the area less than two weeks ago, so we know our dog may be a little anxious at the moment with the move and everything that comes with it. Rachael was so patient with him, and he stayed with her while she was working. I couldn't speak more highly of her. I know Buddha Bear really loved her.”
“Rui was so attentive and loving towards Millie! It was so nice knowing that Millie was comfortable and settled, while also getting lots of exercise and play time! Will definitely book with Rui again. Thank you!!”
“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:)”
“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.”
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.
“We had such a great experience with caroline ! She boarded our puppy for three nights and took amazing care of him the entire time. We got daily updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our puppy was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the whole stay. They were attentive, reliable, and truly went above and beyond. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
“Delaney was very responsive in communicating with me. She answered my texts right away. She was also very caring and kind to my dog. He spent the night and all went well. I highly recommend boarding your dog with her!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with Zola! I got a lot of photo updates and reassurance that she was well taken care of while I was away! I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her. Zola came home in a very good mood.”
“We were delighted that Elise could care for our pets for 3 weeks (!). It was the longest they have spent with a Rover. They were clearly well cared for and happy to be there. We will be using Elise again next month, which is the highest praise I can give 😊.”
“Sophia was great!! Helped us out by taking care of our pup jojo on our wedding night. We knew he was in great hands and could let loose without any stress. Will definitely book with her again. Her dog Ziggy is a sweetheart and got along with ours great :)”

“Such a fabulous sitter! We loved seeing our kitty play and be comfortable with someone new. Wonderful photos and videos at every visit and reliable communications.”
“Falecia did a great job taking care of my cat Ginger while I was away. She was timely with updates and I could tell Ginger warmed up to her from her pictures (which is not the easiest thing with my shy gal).”
“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!”
“Jennifer was awesome with my cat! She was very timely, gave very detailed notes every visit, and sent tons of pictures and updates. 100% recommend booking with her, she is great!”
“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.”
“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!”
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!!!”
About: Hi my name is Lee, but most people call me Raven. (Rover will not allow me to put my chosen name). I am a big time animal lover! I am a responsible woman in my 30's that enjoys caring for animals as a side hustle. I have many years of experience with both cats and dogs (mostly large breeds). As a child I had mostly experience with cats. I volunteered in sevral animal adoption centers for years and was also given a lot of responsibility to care for my own cat at home. In my adult life I started working with dogs at age 20 because my boyfriend at the time got me into it. I did mostly foster care and hung out with his dog too. I very quickly fell in love and became a dog person (although I love both very much). In 2018 I fostered an amazing dog named Nyla who I ended up adopting and she is still with me today, aging happily as she should be. :) I'd be happy to talk to you in more depth about my experience and what I love so much about animals. Just shoot me a message and we can set up a time to get together! My availability right now is very flexible. I am currently in between jobs. However, I do plan on still walking dogs after I find employment. I can only provide services at pet-parent's home. My home is unavailable for services because my dog does not get along well with other dogs.
“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!”
“Cassidy is absolutely wonderful! She is reliable, trustworthy and so sweet. She took great care of my cat, brushing her and playing with her, sending cute pictures and updates every day so I could feel she was happy and healthy while I was on vacation. I highly recommend her for pet sitting and will definitely count on her next time I need help with my cat.”
“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.”
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!
“K was an amazing sitter and house guest!! Our girls were in such a happy mood, barely missed us which is such a great sign of being well taken care of. Button was very filled out (healthy and good from her meds) which is a balance many sitters don’t get exactly right. She also took great care of our house and many packages that arrived while we were away. 20/10 recommend for your pets and house!”
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.

“Georgia successfully tired out our energetic, border collie puppy Nancy! She was communicative throughout the day and took Nancy to play in the creek. Thank you!!”
“Jessica was great with my dog! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay! My dog had a great time hanging out with her pup as well. I really appreciate Jessica accepting my booking so last minute. Would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“Emilie helped us out tremendously with some last minute day care. She's quick to respond, friendly, and I felt at ease leaving our pup with her. Two big thumbs up from us!”
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.
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and frequently take care of pets in my hometown, I recently moved to Boulder for school and have plenty of time and energy to care for pets here :) I’m a student at CU boulder but I have a very light schedule this year so I’m only in class for about 3 hours a day, I will happily spend the rest of my day with an animal :) I have no other pets and i am right Nextdoor to a fenced in dog run, my apartment complex is very pet friendly and everyone that I’ve met here is very respectful of other dogs.
About: Growing up with pets, I’ve always had a deep connection with animals. My background in energy healing helps me tune into each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. After a decade of not having my pets, I'm deeply deficient in animal cuddles - I make up for it by showering my furry clients with extra affection, belly rubs, and snuggles. Whether your pet needs a calming presence, senior care, or just an adventure buddy, I provide attentive, personalized care so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your fur family! I have a few recurring weekly meetings that I can join remotely, so I am available to housesit any time as long as there is steady internet. I am available to dog walk or make home visits in the afternoons. I can only provide care for pets in a client's home, as several elderly rescue dogs are living out their best lives at my home.
“Jacky was amazing!!! She was very fast in responding, super friendly, and accommodated my two dogs (one of which can be dog selective). She truly went above and beyond taking care of them. Very lucky to have found her!! Thank you Jacky!!”

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 was awesome! From the minute we met her at a meet and greet, I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. Archie loved his walk and we felt safe and comfortable knowing he would be in good hands. Thanks, Tonnie!”
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!
“Can't say enough good things about Ona!, their schedule is very flexible and they work with me with last minute requests and do a wonderful job. My beautiful little dog is always super happy when I come home and not too too fully energetic.”
“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: 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.
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
“Hired Melissa to walk our foster dog Lucy and tend to her litter of six week old puppies (which is no small feat) for a week when we were away during the day. She did a great job. Highly recommend :)”
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.
“Rikku was so kind and was able to accommodate a last minute walk for our pup! They were really communicative about pickup and drop off. And of course our dog had a blast! Thank you!”
About: As a pet sitter, I distinguish myself through my personalized approach. I customize my care plans to meet each pet’s unique needs and personality, ensuring a tailored and attentive experience. This individualized attention not only sets me apart but also fosters a strong bond with the pets I care for. My duties involved daily walks, feeding, and playtime for the animals. I made sure each furry friend felt comfortable and loved while their owners were away, providing updates to ease their minds. I find that caring for pets in their own homes provides them with a sense of familiarity and comfort. This allows me to maintain their routines seamlessly, ensuring they feel secure and happy in their familiar surroundings. Additionally, it minimizes any potential stress that might arise in a new setting, contributing to a positive and enjoyable experience for both the pets and their owners.
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: 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.

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.

“Nutmeg had a wonderful long weekend with Kim and Fred. She got to explore their backyard and went on walks in the neighborhood. I picked up a happy dog today!”
“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!”
“Georgia did a great job with my two dogs, they warmed up to her quickly and I felt that they were safe with her. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos.”
“Della is an amazing dog sitter! She sent tons of photos of our dog outside getting exercise, playing with other dogs, and getting lots of love indoors. I would absolutely trust Della with our dog again.”
“Maddy was very professional with great communication. She kept me updated with pictures and videos and it looked like my pup got LOTS of love and attention. Georgia was content and sleepy after pickup, so I know she had a great time and got a workout. Having a fenced backyard is also a big plus. I will definitely take Georgia to Maddy again for sitting.”
“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.”
“Noah has a great space for dog sitting and I could tell Chloe and Lucy felt immediately comfortable with him and the area. He also snagged some excellent action photos of them!”
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Aubrey’s house. He had lots of furry friends to play with, spent time exploring outside and received many cuddles and love. Aubrey was wonderful at sending daily updates and pictures. Our pup came back exhausted from all the fun he had. Can’t wait to use Aubrey again next time we are away!”
“Rachel is not only an extraordinary pet sitter, but she is an extraordinary person. Kind and delightful. She was wonderful with Buddha Bear and sent us lots of "Pupdates" of their walks, feeding, and hanging out in the yard. I know Bear had a great time. It was a bit challenging for us because we moved to the area less than two weeks ago, so we know our dog may be a little anxious at the moment with the move and everything that comes with it. Rachael was so patient with him, and he stayed with her while she was working. I couldn't speak more highly of her. I know Buddha Bear really loved her.”
“Rui was so attentive and loving towards Millie! It was so nice knowing that Millie was comfortable and settled, while also getting lots of exercise and play time! Will definitely book with Rui again. Thank you!!”
“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.”
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.
“We had such a great experience with caroline ! She boarded our puppy for three nights and took amazing care of him the entire time. We got daily updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our puppy was happy, comfortable, and well-loved the whole stay. They were attentive, reliable, and truly went above and beyond. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
“We were delighted that Elise could care for our pets for 3 weeks (!). It was the longest they have spent with a Rover. They were clearly well cared for and happy to be there. We will be using Elise again next month, which is the highest praise I can give 😊.”
“Highly recommend Alex and Jeff. Responsive and on point with all communications. Great yard and set up. Felt really good about leaving our pup with them.”
“I highly recommend Tigran. He was a great communicator before and during the sit. I can tell he gave my dogs lots of love and attention. :) I really appreciated his always quick responses and updates.”
“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.”
“Cole was an absolutely fantastic sitter. He was very quick with communication up to and during the dog sitting period. We knew that our dogs were in good hands with Cole.”
“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!”
