“Georgia watched our two dogs for the week of Thanksgiving and we returned to calm, happy, well cared for pups. Georgia is an obvious dog lover, has a wonderful home/space to keep your dogs and is genuinely a kind and communicative person! I highly recommend this sitter! We will definitely be back!”
“Maggie was fantastic! She was warm, communicative and accommodating when I needed to add pick up/drop-off after booking. She sent tons of pics and Meilo seemed very happy spending the weekend with her. I will definitely be booking with Maggie again soon!”
“My older dog Santo did well with Jacqueline's gentle care. She understood his limitations, especially regarding heat. He had plenty of toys, and was able to play with her well behaved dogs. Jacqueline runs a tight ship, which I appreciate.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 😊.”
“Curtis did a fantastic job boarding our golden doodle. He is very thorough and communicates very well. Our dog was very active during her stay with lots of walks and play time. We received lots of photos and even got report cards. Looking forward to our next stay with Curtis.”
About: My dog is my top priority, and yours will be too! I’m able to take your dog on hikes, runs, and have some fun time with my almost 2 year old husky/heeler mix. Lots of cuddles, exercise, and fun time, while ensuring proper dog to dog boundaries. I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time, and so am able to provide care for your pets throughout the day. I am unable to care for dogs under 1 year old. Additionally your dog must be: 1) dog friendly, with no history of aggression towards dogs 2) people friendly 3) house trained 4) sleeps through the night I have a fenced yard and one playful two year old husky/heeler mix. Care can include yard play time, leashed walks, hikes, or runs, depending on the needs of your dog! I am also able to keep up with training and obedience with your dog, whether that includes reactivity, leash walking, jumping etc.
“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!”
“Della was incredibly loving, reliable, and accommodating when it came to watching our pup last week! We received so many sweet photos capturing their many adventures which really warmed my son’s heart as he was missing her. We will definitely work with Della and sweet Uma again!”
“This was my second time using Tigran. I felt like the pups were very well taken care of and loved. He sent me videos every day. Great communicator and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
About: I absolutely love dogs, and until recently, I had my own old, grumpy boy who taught me a lot about caring for dogs with unique needs. My family got our first dog when I was 13, and then welcomed another when I was 21. I was very involved in raising our second dog from puppyhood, so I have firsthand experience with the energy, patience, consistency, and supervision that young dogs require. About six years ago, I adopted my own dog from a shelter when he was already 8 years old. He had epilepsy and plenty of his own idiosyncrasies, which gave me experience caring for an older dog with medical needs and a very specific personality. I learned to pay close attention to changes in behavior, recognize when something was “off,” and adapt his care to what made him comfortable and happy. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior who needs a little extra patience, or somewhere in between, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently work part-time and study from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to adjust my routine to accommodate your pup’s needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply having someone around for companionship. I’m home much of the day and would love to give your dog plenty of attention while you’re away. I live in a ground-floor apartment with a fenced-in backyard, including a dog door that gives pups easy access to the yard when they need it. I love getting outside and exploring the area, and I’d be happy to bring your dog along for a local hike, a neighborhood walk, or some playtime in the yard. I also live with my boyfriend, who works from home and is around for most of the day. He’s always happy to give visiting pets some extra attention and love, but I will be responsible for all of their care and will be their primary caregiver throughout their stay.
“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 :)”
“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.”
“Brooke was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves dogs, and Scout took to her immediately. Throughout the stay, she provided thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She treated Scout like he was her own, paying attention to his routine, making sure he got plenty of exercise, affection, and personalized care. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything about the quality of care she provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for the very best care for their pet. Thank you, Brooke!”
“Chelsea was great to work with. She made the meet-and-greet easy and then kept us up-to-date on how the puppies were doing throughout our trip. I'd use, and recommend, Chelsea in a heartbeat.”
“Jessica and Sophie were wonderful watching our pup! We were sent many pictures and our dog had a great time playing with Sophie. He was well cared for and is now exhausted. Highly recommend!”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”

“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.”
“Juliana was a great sitter! I'll definitely have her watch my two cats again. My cats have very different personalities but both of them loved her after a week of drop ins. One of them even laid on her chest when she has only ever laid on my chest. I came home from my trip to two happy cats.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
About: Hi, I am Tigran. I started and run a dog rescue in Colorado called Havok's Wolfpack. I help dogs in high kill shelters of neighboring states find great new homes in Colorado. I am currently living in the South East park Boulder. I regularly host foster dogs so my home isn't a dog-free environment when I'm not sitting through Rover. All of my foster dogs are friendly. I run my organisation remotely, so I have ultimate flexibility for dog care, walks and attention. Currently fully available. Will be able to respond within an hour. I explore new hikes and dog walks multiple times a day. Your pup will be extremely happy every time I show up. I travel to clients homes and have no issues handling the biggest and most energetic dogs. Happy to accommodate owners requests when it comes to handling dogs.
“Olivia came through for me in an emergency. I was unable to meet her although I feel confident she did a wonderful job. I could tell she at my home as expected to feed my cat. From the outside camera I could tell my cat was responding well to her. I would 100% hire her again. Thank you for taking care of my home and my cat Olivia.”
About: I love cats! Started cat sitting since I was 13 and have had two cats of my own so I’m very comfortable in delivering the care they need. I’m super understanding and patient with all types of personalities!
“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!”
“Tara was super helpful and followed all instructions for my kitty. Tara mentioned she has experience with cats, which is extremely comforting as a cat person! When meeting, Tara asked for details I wouldn’t have even thought of and was very thorough. My cat and I are both thrilled with Tara’s service and would definitely recommend!”

“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!!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“I’ve been a reoccurring client of Christine’s. She’s been a great pet sitter and friend to my pup. Christine is always accommodating and communicative. I receive several photos, videos and check-ins throughout each visit. I recommend Christine for any pet needs. My pup is always excited to see her and comes home tired from a full day of hikes, walks and play!”
About: I’ve always loved being around and caring for dogs! I’ve had a dog of my own for almost my whole life, who I care for on the daily. When a friend is in need of a dog sitter they come to me and I care for their pup like my own! I am home very often on a daily basis so I have lots of time to spend with your pet and care for their needs! This leaves plenty of time for play and attention. I have a big fenced in yard where the dog can run and play along with my energetic 4 year old dog. Your pet can be crated if needed/desired but is welcome on the furniture just like my dog!
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.
About: I’m active, work from home, and a dog-lover. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so your pup gets consistent attention, frequent bathroom breaks, and never long stretches alone. I share my home with Mabel, my 4-year-old golden retriever. We're outside every day on local trails, dog-friendly hikes, and the dog park across the street. Mabel is friendly and welcoming to all pups. No yard, but Boulder is our backyard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and I treat every pup like my own. Your dog will get personal attention, plenty of activity, and a flexible routine that works for them. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. Happy to coordinate with you to ensure your dog’s needs are met. Able to step out with your pup for bathroom breaks whenever needed. I don’t have a yard, but my golden retriever needs exercise each day. We’re outside every day on local trails, dog-friendly hikes, and the dog park across the street. Boulder is our backyard!
“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!”
“They were great. Sent pictures during the day, and Mel and our pup had a blast all day. Definitely will ask to have a day care again! Thank you for the stay.”
“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!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for weeks at a time for the past four years in Colorado and Southern California. I love having your pup around as a friend and companion here in boulder, CO! Your dog can expect lots of walks, hikes, playing in our backyard, and many cuddles! I work remotely from home so have time to take your dog out on walks, feed them at the times they are used to, and hang out and play! I have a fenced in backyard and a park right around the corner. I am comfortable taking your dogs on walks and hikes in the area!
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.
“Allison and John were so amazing and took great care of my doggie. They were also super communicative, took lots of pictures and did two walks. Their home has a really nice backyard. I feel super grateful, thank you Allison and John for taking such good care of Yara 🌸🥹”
“J’Ana took absolutely amazing care of our dog, Scout, tonight while we were out for dinner. She was so attentive to Scout’s every need — from taking her on walks, to bonding with her, to sending thoughtful updates that made us feel completely at ease. It was clear Scout felt comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy in her company. We’re incredibly grateful for J’Ana’s kindness, reliability, and the way she connected with Scout right away. We’re already excited for Scout to spend time with her again tomorrow. Highly recommend!”
“Celia and Mark took excellent care of my dog, Winston! He has separation anxiety so I was quite nervous to leave him with someone else but they handled it beautifully! He got a lot of play time and a walk, and loved running around in their yard. Celia and Mark kept me updated with pictures and videos so I knew he was doing well. I highly recommend them!”
“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!”

I’ll definitely be booking again and grateful to have another spot where I know Lu will be happy and wonderfully cared for.”
“Perfect stay for our Nina. She was taken for walks, we received photos of Nina’s happy day. Trust worthy person, we highly recommend her. Nina was wagging her tail each morning that they me! Perfection. Thank you for taking good care of Nina!!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Although I’ve always cared for pets of friends and family, I am excited to now care for pets at a more professional level through Rover! I’m a bit of a dog breed nerd and genuinely enjoy learning about breed-specific traits, behaviors, and enrichment needs. Whether your pup is a high-energy working breed that needs extra exercise or a laid-back companion who loves cuddles, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I believe every animal deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I am a self employed artist and photographer which allows me to have complete control and flexibility in my schedule to care for animals! I can be available on short notice and can easily work my schedule around the needs of each individual pet! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and affection while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I’m attentive to body language and behavior changes, allowing me to adapt my care to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As someone who enjoys learning about breed-specific traits and needs, I understand that every dog is different and strive to provide care that matches their energy level and temperament. My goal is to give pet parents the same peace of mind I would want, by treating every animal as if they were my own and keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
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.
“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: 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 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.
“Caroline is great! She is really sweet, thoughtful, and clearly loves animals. Our dogs love her and we feel very comfortable having her stay in our house and take care of them. We’re so glad we found her!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was a child, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, hamsters, fish, and other small pets for a variety of families, each with their own routines and needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications if needed, or simply keeping pets company, I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to give each one the care and attention they deserve! Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life, so pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors on walks, playing with pets, and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for so they can stay on their normal schedule and receive the time, care, and consistency they deserve. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. My priority is always making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you leave regarding feeding, medications, exercise, or routines, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’ll treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and care that I would my own!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for most of life. I have grown up with both dogs and cats of different breeds, ages, and sizes as pets. I regularly walk my dog, feed both my cat and dog, play with them, and I have helped train my dog. I have also pet sat for family members where I have walked their dogs, feed them and played with them. I’m currently working part time over the summer so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups, take them on walks, and feed them if needed! I will always keep an eye on your pets when walking them and playing with them, and I will make sure they are comfortable and get the care and attention they need when I visit them and take them on walks!

I've lived with animals most of my life and pet sit for friends and family regularly. While I'm in a transitional time in my life, I have all the time in the world to take your pet on a nice walk (I also LOVE the outdoors), or to the local dog park, and make sure they get a meal if needed. Here to make your life easier, don't hesitate to contact me and I hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I’m available after 4pm Monday-Thursday, and fully available throughout the weekend. I’m currently enrolled in a full-time education program, so being able to have control over my scheduling with others is very helpful. I have two cats in my home, they’re able to be kept in a room if I’m with a dog that is cat adverse or has a strong hunting instinct. We have a nice patio, but no yard. We live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for walks and close by to parks. I can tailor our itinerary depending on the pet’s needs and am eager to do so. I love being active and outdoors and so do most of the animals I watch.
About: I have had a passion for animal care and providing companionship with them since I was a very small child. I have been doing this for 20 years now and there's nothing that I would rather do than spend time with cats and dogs. I work from home so I have a lot of availability to be with your pets. I am single with no children and a huge passion to be with animals. I have a three story town home and I'm surrounded by nature trails and all sorts of paths. I have a dog park right behind me and surrounded by nature trails that the Pet's absolutely love. Also very close to Valmont Dog 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: I grew up with two dogs and regularly dog sat and walked for about 8 years. I hope to continue this now that I live in boulder because I love and miss my dogs!

I am a flexible person and can accommodate to mostly any needs. My current housing does not allow animals, I am more interested in walking

“Georgia watched our two dogs for the week of Thanksgiving and we returned to calm, happy, well cared for pups. Georgia is an obvious dog lover, has a wonderful home/space to keep your dogs and is genuinely a kind and communicative person! I highly recommend this sitter! We will definitely be back!”
“My older dog Santo did well with Jacqueline's gentle care. She understood his limitations, especially regarding heat. He had plenty of toys, and was able to play with her well behaved dogs. Jacqueline runs a tight ship, which I appreciate.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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 😊.”
About: My dog is my top priority, and yours will be too! I’m able to take your dog on hikes, runs, and have some fun time with my almost 2 year old husky/heeler mix. Lots of cuddles, exercise, and fun time, while ensuring proper dog to dog boundaries. I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time, and so am able to provide care for your pets throughout the day. I am unable to care for dogs under 1 year old. Additionally your dog must be: 1) dog friendly, with no history of aggression towards dogs 2) people friendly 3) house trained 4) sleeps through the night I have a fenced yard and one playful two year old husky/heeler mix. Care can include yard play time, leashed walks, hikes, or runs, depending on the needs of your dog! I am also able to keep up with training and obedience with your dog, whether that includes reactivity, leash walking, jumping etc.
“Della was incredibly loving, reliable, and accommodating when it came to watching our pup last week! We received so many sweet photos capturing their many adventures which really warmed my son’s heart as he was missing her. We will definitely work with Della and sweet Uma again!”
“This was my second time using Tigran. I felt like the pups were very well taken care of and loved. He sent me videos every day. Great communicator and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
About: I absolutely love dogs, and until recently, I had my own old, grumpy boy who taught me a lot about caring for dogs with unique needs. My family got our first dog when I was 13, and then welcomed another when I was 21. I was very involved in raising our second dog from puppyhood, so I have firsthand experience with the energy, patience, consistency, and supervision that young dogs require. About six years ago, I adopted my own dog from a shelter when he was already 8 years old. He had epilepsy and plenty of his own idiosyncrasies, which gave me experience caring for an older dog with medical needs and a very specific personality. I learned to pay close attention to changes in behavior, recognize when something was “off,” and adapt his care to what made him comfortable and happy. I especially enjoy getting to know each dog's individual personality and routine. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior who needs a little extra patience, or somewhere in between, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I currently work part-time and study from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to adjust my routine to accommodate your pup’s needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, potty breaks, or simply having someone around for companionship. I’m home much of the day and would love to give your dog plenty of attention while you’re away. I live in a ground-floor apartment with a fenced-in backyard, including a dog door that gives pups easy access to the yard when they need it. I love getting outside and exploring the area, and I’d be happy to bring your dog along for a local hike, a neighborhood walk, or some playtime in the yard. I also live with my boyfriend, who works from home and is around for most of the day. He’s always happy to give visiting pets some extra attention and love, but I will be responsible for all of their care and will be their primary caregiver throughout their stay.
“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.”
“Jessica and Sophie were wonderful watching our pup! We were sent many pictures and our dog had a great time playing with Sophie. He was well cared for and is now exhausted. Highly recommend!”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
“Birdie had a fabulous time! She looked so happy in all the check-in pictures sent throughout her stay. The communication was superb and the kindness in her care was exceptional. I highly recommend. Thank you for taking such good care of Birdie! She will visit again :)”
“Ruby had another great stay with Barbara. She was recovering from a minor paw injury and Barbara let us up to date with her progress and was even able to get my pooch to wear a protective boot during their outings.”
About: I absolutely love dogs. All dogs, period. I have a deep understanding of each dog's unique needs, quirks, and preferences, and I make sure to give a tailored experience that goes beyond routine tasks. I strive to create a home away from home for your dogs and make sure they are comfortable as well as you. I currently work in the early afternoons with two days off during the week with full availability. I am an early bird and can be there for your dog as early as 6:30am until about 12:00pm. Safe Space: Designate a specific area or room for the pet, providing them with a sense of security. Exercise and Playtime: Engage in regular play sessions and take your pet for walks or provide a secure outdoor space for them to explore. Social Interaction: Spend quality time with your pet to prevent loneliness and anxiety. Provide toys and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Emergency Plan: Be prepared for emergencies by having a first aid kit and knowing the location of the nearest veterinary clinic.
“Kristina was fantastic with our pup, who can be a little reserved with new people. She was patient & kind, and provided lots of pics / updates while we were gone. Kristina has a beautiful space, great yard with amazing views & 2 adorable dogs for Sadie to play with. It made our weekend away easier knowing Sadie was in good hands 😊”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.
“We are so happy we found Natalie through a recommendation from a friend! She was great at communicating with us and took great care of our dog, Jerry. We loved the fact that she only hosts one dog at a time, as our guy gets out of sorts when the pack is separated. We felt he got all the attention he needed from Natalie during his stay with her. She was sure to make sure to find out everything she needed to know about his routine. We got several updates with photos while we were away, which always puts us at ease. Will definitely be booking with Natalie again!”
“Rui did a great job of taking care of my pup! The meet and greet was enough time for my dog, Also to fall in love so much that when I dropped her off, she practically pulled Rui inside with nary a glance back at me. I received lots of great pictures of fun adventures and when I picked her up she was tired but very happy. I can’t recommend Rui highly enough!”
