“Our pup had a great weekend at Mitzi’s! She sent us photos throughout and gave us feedback on how he did when we picked him up. She has a huge fenced in yard and really cares about the dogs!”
“Steve and his family were amazing! They took care of our dog Walter and he had the best time with them. We received updates and photos throughout the weekend and a little drawing of Walter to take home! Highly recommend Steve and will send Walter back again soon!”
“Sehwa and Adam were so great with my dog. They were flexible on timing and took great care of our older dog. They paid attention to her picky eating and somewhat limited mobility with her advanced age. Thank you!”
“Paul and Delia did a fantastic job watching our dog, Ivy, for an extra long weekend. Ivy can sometimes be hesitant of other dogs, but their two dogs are so sweet and Ivy had no trouble warming up to them and had a lot of fun. The daily updates were great to get too! We will use them again for sure!”
“WOW! Shhhh! Lynn & John P are truly the Best kept secret on Rover!!! And as much as we'd like to keep them all for ourselves & our pup, that would not be fair. Lynn & John P are TOP NOTCH! Our dog was clearly VERY HAPPY with his weekend babysitters! We received many updates and when we picked up our dog he acted as if he could come with us or stay longer with Lynn & John P -either way was good for him. To us, that means our dog experienced no stress! How perfect! Thank you Lynn & John P.”
“Rochelle and her pups took excellent care of my boy! Loved having plenty of photos and updates over the weekend. Harvey clearly had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back! Would recommend!”
“Wow mostly sums up Eric & Kim! We have found a second home for our fur babies when we need it! Eric is in tune with my dogs, gives the right love and attention to them and loves them like we do! So grateful we found him on Rover! ??”
“Sonia was out of town so Bibi got some one on one time with Jonathan for the week and had a great time! I received updates and photos of her every evening and Jonathan was very thorough when asking questions and gathering all necessary information about Bibi upon dropping her off. Even though they were a bit further from me than other sitters on Rover, it was 100% worth it to have my dog with someone that I felt confident was taking care of her and spoiling her as much as I do at home. There can be a lot of anxiety associated with leaving a pet with a stranger but Jonathan was great and his nightly updates kept me from getting stressed out. 10/10 recommend them to anyone looking for someone to host their pet and will definitely be using them again in the future!”
About: Looking for a home where your dog is treated like family? You've found it. I work-from-home and have young kids who live for animals — and have been missing being around dogs terribly since my 13-year-old Lab passed away last year. Your pup will enjoy constant companionship, a fully fenced yard, active outdoor play, and kids who can't wait to give belly rubs. I specialize in low-shedding and hypoallergenic breeds and provide a safe, fun, high-energy environment your dog will absolutely love. Please note I only accept hypoallergenic breeds due to recently discovered allergies in our home. I work from home and offer three walks a day, fenced yard and playtime in a nearby park or hikes on nearby trails. I am available weekdays and weekends. I do not have any other pets. Your dog will be the only pet cared for at a time. I only offer services at my home. I'm just starting services in May 2026 and you're welcome to stop by for a meet and greet. Please note I only accept hypoallergenic breeds due to recently discovered allergies in our home.
“This is our second visit with Leslie’s family and Aspen enjoyed it just as much as the first. Leslie sends frequent updates and photos and her family definitely gives our dog all the love. Thank you!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my 2 dogs received while staying with Anna. She’s truly a dog lover and really cares. They got long walks, car rides, dog parks (after Anna checked with us and we said it was fine), and lots of love and attention while staying over. The communication with Anna is fantastic as well. I really really hope she’ll always be available when we need someone to dog-sit…. Best rover to date 👍”
“Kristi was wonderful with our pup. She was informative about any details of his stay and transparent about touring her home so we and our dog could feel comfortable ahead of his stay. You can tell she cares about every dog that stays with her.”
About: Looking to fill the house with furry friends since my golden of 13 years recently passed and I’m really not ready for a permanent pet just yet. My home is set up for dogs under 100lb. Dogs have direct access to a fenced yard through a secure doggy door so they can come in and out as they please. I always have fresh water on the main level, upstairs room, and back patio. The back yard has a medium sized lawn area, large covered patio, and dog house. I’ve had experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and have a very pet-safe home. I have a flexible job that allows me to bring a dog if I’m going into the office. I do have work a couple days a week that requires I leave the house for up to 6 hours sometimes so having a dog that is ok to have the run of the house for a bit is preferred but this can be worked around as well. I plan to do dog sitting for a while until I decide it’s time for a new best friend. My job is pretty flexible. I can work from home most of the time so I can pay a lot of attention to your pet. I have a dog friendly home with doggy door access to a large covered patio and fenced yard. Dogs can come and go as they please through the door.
“Blu took such great care of my dog! She had been walking with my pup a lot. I had zero worries about my dog receiving many photo updates and knowing Umka was having the best time with Blu.”
“Jan and Joe were fantastic. I can’t imagine leaving our dog with anyone else now! They were so attentive to her older dog needs and were amazing communicators. Our dog was in a fantastic mood when we picked her up and she normally is fairly anxious and sad when we leave, so I knew she had a wonderful time! She was walked daily and cuddled up to both Joe and Jan quickly. I knew our dog was in good hands the moment I met them and I know both myself and my dog are looking forward to the next booking!”

“Ali made herself available to help out at the last minute. She was so patient and kind with our shy cat, to such an extent that she saw Luna two of the three days she came by - wow ! We will definitely call Ali back for more cat sitting.”
“Shannon was amazing! She took great care of both of my cats twice a day as well as taking out the cans of cat food and litter to my outside garbage every day AND she watered my entire veggie garden and flower garden! I would highly recommend her!”
“Christina was amazing!! I would give her 10 stars if I could. She took care of our 2 cats and dog so well and sent us detailed updates and pictures. I will definitely be requesting Christina in the future.”
“Lindsey was amazing! She took great care of my cat and my cat seemed to really like her. She also provided detailed updates each day which I really appreciated! She was also flexible when my travel plans changed and was able to help me out last minute. I’ll definitely book with Lindsey again :)”
“Fiona took wonderful care of my cats while I was out of town. She was communicative, gave great daily updates and photos, and felt everything nice and tidy. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. My own cats are strictly indoor, so I understand the importance of keeping doors and windows secure and monitoring exits closely. I bring that same care to any pet in my home or yours. All cats are so uniquely different! Because of this, I'll let you tell me what your cat prefers and needs. For Drop-ins, this could mean active play with toys and cuddles. Or it could mean quiet and plenty of personal space for the shyer variety. For boarding, I have a large enclosed room completely dedicated to your pet. Complete with beds, toys, scratchers, and natural lighting... They will have their own personal kitty-kingdom with as much or as little play and cuddles as they want. Being in a new environment can be worrisome for both cats and their owners. I make certain that they have a peaceful and quiet sanctuary until they are back in your arms. I also have experience navigating the needs of a pet with complex medical requirements, so I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions; medications, schedules, dietary restrictions, or anything else your pet needs, exactly as directed. I pay close attention to small changes in behavior that could signal an issue, and I'll always reach out right away if something seems off. My home is a calm, family environment with older children who are respectful and comfortable around animals, so pets can settle in without feeling overwhelmed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same level of care: securing doors and windows, following your routines and instructions precisely, and making sure I have emergency contacts and your vet's information on hand before any stay or visit.
“Margie did a wonderful job with our cat Mackenzie. We are soooo grateful. Mackenzie is 19 years old and needed one pill per day, plus some cuddles to keep the stress of our absence down. We had detailed notes about his food needs, too. Margie was so kind and made sure he got his medicine, his food, and his cuddles. She sent us beautiful photos and we felt very reassured having her with him while we were out of town on a family emergency.”
About: Caring for a cat is more than just changing their litter box and providing them food. It's giving them affection on their terms, knowing what their different moods can be, and providing enrichment when they need it. Although dogs are my focus at Humane Colorado, I have several volunteer hours focusing specifically on cat care and enrichment at the shelter.
“Rebecca was great with my 2 kitties! She came by the house when expected and shared lots of pictures and notes about the visit. She was quick to respond anytime I reached out to her and was flexible about adding a day when my return flight was delayed. We’ll definitely use her again.”
“Emily provided a lot of peace of mind for my first booking with Rover. She was kind, helpful, and very communicative. Her love for animals is apparent. In the future, I plan to rebook with Emily.”
“Vanessa took great care of my two cats. She was very communicative and thoughtful about their individual needs. One of my cats is more timid, and she made sure he still ate by moving his bowl to where he was hiding so he could eat where he felt safe. She gave both cats lots of attention, and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care.”
“Katie did a great job hanging out with my new kitten and kept him entertained and energized during her drop-in visits. She had great updates and followed sitter instructions perfectly. We would gladly have Katie sit for us again!”
“Amy was very good with Gypsy when we first met and asked a lot of questions. She was super punctual and sent me cute pictures during the walks. Will definitely be using Amy again!”
About: I love cats and kittens and I am excited to pet sit your purring companion! I do not have any pet cats at this time, but I did in the past. One of my cats, Buddy, learned and loved to fetch rolled shopping bags! My children love animals, especially cats, and are very caring and respectful. We have a spacious home with wood flooring so no concerns with messes or liter spills. If your kitty is leash trained we can do backyard outings to provide some outdoor fresh air and exploring time. :)
“Very professional and quick with her meet and greet and doesn’t waste any time. I would recommend Meghan to anyone I know due to her efficiency, her professionalism, and her ability to go above and beyond!”

About: New to rover but not new to caring for pets. I have learned every pet is different and has their own personality and preferences. I also have learned to adapt to our aging pet’s lifestyle and limitations but make sure we still provide adequate movement and stimulation for him. I am not certified trainer - and don’t consider myself one -but was able to potty train and teach our pet a few tricks and special family words we use with him. Our 13 y/o Chihuahua is protective but friendly, he will bark a lot at first until he gets acquainted and comfortable with others around him and us. We as a family (my husband and two children) enjoy going for walks and our children are also very caring and respectful with pets. I have a flexible work schedule and can adjust to your needs. I am available also on weekends and flexible with late/early drop off or pick up. We have a fenced yard at our home and the yard is spacious. Our home is a two story home. We also have plenty of areas to walk around the neighborhood and nearby trails (Standley lake, Arvada Parks & trails, Golden, Boulder). Our 13 y/o Chihuahua is crate trained. I do not have extra crates but can use your dog's/cat's crate as needed or as you instruct.
About: Dogs in our house are part of the family. We are a mother & son (age 14) combo with 2 dogs in the house (friendly, sweet spayed females). We have been loving and caring for dogs since we were both little, providing the best care for our price and will make your dog feel like it's at home! We have a fully fenced-in large yard and dog door. If you crate your dog, we have one in the house so that you don't have to bring yours. You can certainly bring your own dog bed, but we also have one that your pup can utilize. We also have stuffs, toys, leashes & bowls, so don't fret if you forget anything. Your furry-buddy is allowed to cuddle on the couch with us or wherever they find comfort. If the weather permits and your dog is accustomed to going to the dog park, they can join us on trips to play. We have both gone through dog training programs, most recently Ted Terroux. Clean house, well cared-for, loving home. ***** Please reach out if you need a date that shows as "unavailable" as we might be able to make a special accommodation for your dog & past clients. ***** As a teacher & student, we are on summer break and have lots of availability. During the school year, we work and go to school during the week. We are able to go home mid-day for potty breaks. We we home on weekends and during breaks (Spring Break, Summer, Fall Breaks & Winter Breaks). We have several "regular" clients that have a proven track record with our dogs.... Thus, we are able to board mid-week *if* your dog is COOL (plays well, non-destructive, low flight risk), and knows how to use a doggie door. So, please send us a message as we are often available for other dates not made public on the calendar. We look forward to getting to know you and your fur baby! We have a great record of caring for our dogs and we will be able to safely and reliably take care and keep your dog safe and happy in a comfortable and clean home. We typically feed our dogs in the morning and evening, but can accommodate your pups needs. Our home is very clean and well taken care of. There is a main level in which we hang out with great room, office and kitchen. The dogs have free-roam of the main level which has laminate flooring, but covered with carpet squares as one of our dogs does not like walking on hardwood floors. So, it is mostly carpeted for her comfort. We have a large sectional in which we allow dogs to snuggle with us while watching TV. The LARGE yard is mostly grass, some mulch/landscaped trees & shrubs, with concrete patio in which we spend a lot of time dining and reading. We pick up poop DAILY. During the evening, if you request your dog could be crated in the bedroom in which one of us is sleeping as dogs are pack animals and they don't like being separated from the pack. We keep them close to us. But, we want to keep everyone safe, so the crate is available (optional) for their safety as well as ours/our pets. But again, they are slumbering in the same room with us.
About: We share our home with a 15 years young, grumpy old-man Chihuahua, a 7-year old Chihuahua mix, and a new Husky-mix puppy. Dogs provide us with so much love and kindness on a daily basis, that's why I believe we should offer that same kindness back to them! Rochelle has been caring for dogs for well over a decade, from totally healthy to those needing special care (medicine, slower walks, special feeding requirements). In general, our pups get along great with low-energy dogs and low-energy dogs are ideal clients! Though, the puppy can also help us with higher energy pups. Rochelle works from home full time. We REQUIRE a meet and greet prior to booking new clients, no exceptions. Due to medical concerns, Rochelle is only able to care for small to medium size dogs. Willing to consider dogs who are larger in size only if they have completed intensive behavioral training (such as therapy dog training or hunting dog training) in which your dog will respond to commands 100% of the time. Thank you for your understanding. Note: I had a name change in 2024 from Caitlyn to Rochelle. Ben was added to the account in 2026. We’re happy to share our home with pups!
“Peter and Emma were very good with my pup! They were very attentive and responded quickly to questions I had. I got some photos and updates throughout the day, which I loved. Barkley is a friendly pup who played well with Pinecone. They were great!”

“Anna’s dog day care was amazing! We received lots of pics and videos during the day and I was able to rest easy at work knowing that my puppy was being taken such good care of. She even went on a walk in addition to the dogs getting to play out in a big yard most of the day. Anna is very trustworthy and reliable.”
“Cory did a great job with our 8 year old goldendoodle. Drop off and pickup was very smooth. We also received a photo during the stay which definitely helped as this was our first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving our pup with someone I don’t know!”
About: Preferred name: Dan My wife and I both grew up with dogs and currently have two golden retrievers. We’ve been watching our friends and family’s dogs for a few years and look forward to watching your dog(s) too! My wife and I work from home every day. We take our dogs on walks along the walking path near my home and to the dog park down the street. We have a fenced in backyard for outdoor time and bathroom breaks. I have a fenced in backyard and two golden retrievers. Both of my dogs are very friendly. We have a dog door, but we close it when we leave the house. My wife and I work from home. We are not located along a busy street. Your dog is allowed on our couches and beds if that is something you allow in your home.
“Zevon has a great stay at Kristi’s! Big back yard for him to run around and play w other dogs. He even took a field trip to the local park. Would definitely use Kristi again!”
“Sehwa and Adam were so great! Our Nova seemed to love them and they sent updates throughout her day. They were very understanding when we had to postpone for a day due to changing work schedule and when Nova had an accident. This was our first time using Rover so Nova was probably a little extra nervous but they were so nice about it. I would highly recommend Sehwa and Adam, and would love to use them again in the future :)”
“I had a last-minute engagement come up with my son who was visiting from out of town, and since my dog, Stanley, suffers from separation anxiety and can no longer be left alone at my townhouse, I urgently needed to find care. I'm so grateful this gentleman was available on short notice to help out. Stanley has pretty severe anxiety—he tends to cry and whine when I’m gone, which has been frustrating and heartbreaking. We’ve been working closely with his vet and a trainer, trying everything from calming collars and thunder shirts to CBD, leaving an item of my clothing, and even having in-home sitters. Unfortunately, nothing has been a magic fix yet, but we’re continuing to try. That said, Stanley *loves* other people and dogs, and I was relieved to see he came home happy (and hungry!). They even kindly offered him some food when he didn’t want to eat his own, which I really appreciated. When my dinner reservation ran late, he was flexible and understanding about the pick-up time, which I also truly appreciated. Overall, a great experience, especially considering how last-minute and complex Stanley’s care can be. Thank you again!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, and now live across from a GIANT off-leash dog park (Westminster Hills). For dogs that are allowed, we tend to visit the park once or twice a day, so there's tons of opportunity for your pup to meet new friends. If you your pup isn't as social, that's no problem...we can accommodate the shy puppers as well. We have a dog door that typically stays open throughout the day, leading to nice deck to rest on, and a large fenced in back yard. Let us know your pups feeding schedule, and if they have any special needs like medication or specific nap times. Drop off and pick up window is 8am to 8pm. I will try to accommodate schedule changes, but generally would prefer to stick to those hours. I work from home, and rarely leave for longer than an hour or so, so you're pup won't be left alone long if at all. I work from my home office and Yoshi plays host - either sharing his favorite resting spots, or introducing everyone to his toys in the backyard. A visit to the Westy dog park across the street is a daily activity, and your pup is welcome to join us. We have a dog door and a fenced in yard. My dog Yoshi is always here to keep pups company, and to show them the ropes. If you're dog is looking for a playmate, you've come to the right place. If your dog is staying overnight, you're welcome to bring their dog bed, or they can borrow one of Yoshi's beds. He's not possessive! We ensure each pup gets lots of play time, and lots of love in a safe environment while in our care.
“Jennifer and Garrett were great! I had messaged them the night before asking if they would be able to watch my dog the following day and without meeting him, they gladly accepted. They sent lots of pictures and he seemed like he had a great time! I really appreciated their helpfulness.”
“I can not say enough good things about Rebecca, she is so very thoughtful and kind and takes such good care of my dog for doggy day care in her home. Her home is beautiful and always clean, she provides toys and consistently goes above and beyond expectations. She has extensive history with dog training and I could not be happier with her! She is a blessing and we are thrilled to have met her!”

Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I am attentive, notice small changes, and I don’t ignore the animals. I follow routines, exactly as given I take pride and being dependable, respectful and consistent. I truly care about building a connection with each dog so they feel comfortable, understood and safe while you’re away. I’m taken care of neighbors dogs for about three years, but I’ve had a dog since I was little. I school and work - schedule When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, medication’s, and any specific instructions are handled exactly as requested. I also spend quality time with them so they’re not just being checked on but actually getting attention and interaction. I treat every home with respect and keep everything clean and organized while I am there.
“Shannon took our dog out for a nice walk with short notice, which we appreciated very much as we were at the hospital. The report card showed the route and relayed how much our dog enjoyed the walk. Thank you, Shannon! You're our 'go to' for our beloved pets.”
“Caroline is such a wonderful and kind person and loves dogs! When Caroline came over for the meet and great she was on time and professional. She took care of our old slow dog Brutus and was very patient with him. He looks for her when she comes over to walk him and is very happy.”
About: Hi there! I'm someone who's always been drawn to animals — there's nothing I love more than curling up with a cat or taking a dog on a good long walk. If you're looking for a sitter who will treat your pet like their own, I'd love to help. I care for both dogs and cats, and I pay close attention to each pet's individual personality and needs — whether that's a routine they're used to, a favorite toy, or just knowing when they want space versus cuddles. I believe good pet care isn't just about the basics (though I've got those covered too); it's about really seeing your pet and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you're away. A few things you can expect from me: Regular updates and photos so you can check in anytime Patience and attentiveness with pets of all temperaments, including shy or anxious ones Reliable, on-time visits and consistency with your pet's routine Genuine care — I treat every dog and cat like they're my own I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big decision, and I want you to feel completely at ease. Please reach out with any questions, special instructions, or just to chat about your pet before booking — I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet too! Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that lets me be available throughout the day for walks, feedings, and check-ins, not just squeezed in before or after work. This means I can offer consistent, reliable care and adjust to your pet's routine rather than the other way around. Whether you need daytime visits, a flexible drop-in window, or someone who can be around for longer stretches, I'm happy to work with your schedule. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. My own cats are strictly indoor, so I understand the importance of keeping doors and windows secure and closely monitoring exits. I bring that same care to any pet in my home or yours. My yard is fully fenced, giving dogs a safe, secure space to play and explore. I also have experience navigating the needs of a pet with complex medical requirements, so I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions: medications, schedules, dietary restrictions, or anything else your pet needs exactly as directed. I pay close attention to small changes in behavior that could signal an issue, and I'll always reach out right away if something seems off. My home is a calm, family environment with older children who are respectful and comfortable around animals, so pets can settle in without feeling overwhelmed. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same level of care, securing doors and windows, following your routines and instructions precisely, and keeping emergency contacts and your vet's information on hand before any stay or visit.
“Can’t say enough great things about Rebecca! She did such an amazing job taking care of our pup. She was on time, took great pictures and communicated really well. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted and reliable person to care for their animals. Thanks Rebecca! ❤️”
“Christina is always so great with our dogs and is often available on short-notice which is really helpful. I love that she sometimes brings her kids, who are very respectful of shy animals like my older dog, because our dogs don't spend a lot of time with children and it's great that they get some positive socialization.”
“Lindsey is absolutely amazing. She is reliable, quick to respond and has excellent communication skills. I know my dogs are well loved and looked after when they are with her. 10/10 would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dependable walker who will shower your dog with love. ❤️🐶”
“Emily was so wonderful! She replied day-of which was so helpful because I was sick and really needed someone to exercise my pup. She was reliable, so friendly and positive, on time, and got along with my dog right away. I would recommend Emily anytime!”
“Paul was great and we'll certainly be working with him again! We're new puppy parents and have some quirky requests to ensure our training goes smoothly and is uninterrupted. Paul came over in advance so we could go for a walk together - he was great with WooHoo and very receptive.”
“Steve helped ensure our pup had great walks while my family was out of town and our pup was staying with our elderly mother-in-law who didn't feel comfortable walking such a big dog. Steve gave our 70-pound bernedoodle a nice stroll around the neighborhood to tire him out and get him some exercise every day we were gone. We will absolutely re-book Steven whenever we go out of town again!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, but my experience goes well beyond being a dog lover. In just one year, I fostered 100 dogs through a local rescue, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all different personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. That experience taught me how important it is to meet each dog where they are—whether they’re playful and energetic, a little nervous in a new environment, or simply happiest sticking to their familiar routine. I provide home-based boarding and daycare with a maximum of 3 guest dogs at a time. I work from home, so dogs get plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day, along with access to our fenced outdoor yard for play and fresh air (always with supervision). I also love keeping owners connected while they’re away, so I regularly send photos and video updates to let you know how your pup is doing. My goal is simple: provide a safe, comfortable, loving home where your dog gets the individual attention they deserve—not just a place to stay. I work from home, so I’m able to provide plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day. I have three kids part-time, so I occasionally step away for school drop-off/pickup or an appointment, but dogs are otherwise part of my normal daily routine. I’m happy to work with you on drop-off and pickup times to make things as convenient as possible. I keep things intentionally small, with a maximum of 3 guest dogs at a time, so each dog gets plenty of attention and supervision. Dogs stay in our home and have access to a secure, fenced yard for outdoor time and play. With my experience fostering 100 dogs, I’m comfortable getting to know each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Fiona was patient and caring with our pup, Cammie. I appreciate her going the extra mile to make her feel comfortable and being flexible when navigating some challenges with our door code. We hope to use her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, including 12 years working with horses. I currently work for a dog boarding facility for the past 4+ years. I have a 1.5 year old puppy that I rescued who is a Reservation dog. Due to his fear/anxiety I’ve dealt with and trained him from being reactive with people and kids. Ive worked with many different dogs at my job - size and temperament. I work 5 days a week. Tuesday and Thursday I am only gone 5 hours, every other Mondays I work 10-6 with a 1 hour break or 5 hours, Wednesday I work 10-6 with a 1 hour break, Sunday I work 9-1 and have 4 hours before I go back work 5-8, Fridays are clear, and Saturday I have church at 5 We have two dogs in our household, they both stick to their schedules. Daily walks and dog park trips, enrichment activities, etc. they are very spoiled! I wouldn’t treat any dog/animal any differently!
About: As an animal lover, I have always been happy to look over and hangout with any of my friend and families pets. That being said, I have lots of experience caring for animals. Including my own border collie who I love to take on walks, got to the dog park, and just be outside with! I am currently home for the summer looking to make more money for college, so I have a very free and flexible schedule throughout the week! I have a fenced yard and the sweetest border collie pup who has lots of toys and is walked regularly! I also live in a great neighborhood with easy access to parks and great trails!
“Adrienne was great with my 3 boxers! My 1 year old male can be a handful and she handled him well. One of the girls is vocal which annoys even us and Adrienne was cool and collected. She even gave us great recommendations for some helpful dog products which we’re going to look into.”
“Charlie was very quick to respond to my last minute meeting with my dogs and also was able to confirm his availability for a potential trip I had coming up that week prior to our meeting. My dogs can be tough but they seemed to like him. He also let me walk with them for our first meeting so that I could show him their favorite spots and their tendencies which made me feel more comfortable. I ended up not having to take the trip but will ask him to still have walks with them so they can continue to feel more comfortable with him”

“Our pup had a great weekend at Mitzi’s! She sent us photos throughout and gave us feedback on how he did when we picked him up. She has a huge fenced in yard and really cares about the dogs!”
“Steve and his family were amazing! They took care of our dog Walter and he had the best time with them. We received updates and photos throughout the weekend and a little drawing of Walter to take home! Highly recommend Steve and will send Walter back again soon!”
“Paul and Delia did a fantastic job watching our dog, Ivy, for an extra long weekend. Ivy can sometimes be hesitant of other dogs, but their two dogs are so sweet and Ivy had no trouble warming up to them and had a lot of fun. The daily updates were great to get too! We will use them again for sure!”
“WOW! Shhhh! Lynn & John P are truly the Best kept secret on Rover!!! And as much as we'd like to keep them all for ourselves & our pup, that would not be fair. Lynn & John P are TOP NOTCH! Our dog was clearly VERY HAPPY with his weekend babysitters! We received many updates and when we picked up our dog he acted as if he could come with us or stay longer with Lynn & John P -either way was good for him. To us, that means our dog experienced no stress! How perfect! Thank you Lynn & John P.”
About: Looking for a home where your dog is treated like family? You've found it. I work-from-home and have young kids who live for animals — and have been missing being around dogs terribly since my 13-year-old Lab passed away last year. Your pup will enjoy constant companionship, a fully fenced yard, active outdoor play, and kids who can't wait to give belly rubs. I specialize in low-shedding and hypoallergenic breeds and provide a safe, fun, high-energy environment your dog will absolutely love. Please note I only accept hypoallergenic breeds due to recently discovered allergies in our home. I work from home and offer three walks a day, fenced yard and playtime in a nearby park or hikes on nearby trails. I am available weekdays and weekends. I do not have any other pets. Your dog will be the only pet cared for at a time. I only offer services at my home. I'm just starting services in May 2026 and you're welcome to stop by for a meet and greet. Please note I only accept hypoallergenic breeds due to recently discovered allergies in our home.
“This is our second visit with Leslie’s family and Aspen enjoyed it just as much as the first. Leslie sends frequent updates and photos and her family definitely gives our dog all the love. Thank you!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my 2 dogs received while staying with Anna. She’s truly a dog lover and really cares. They got long walks, car rides, dog parks (after Anna checked with us and we said it was fine), and lots of love and attention while staying over. The communication with Anna is fantastic as well. I really really hope she’ll always be available when we need someone to dog-sit…. Best rover to date 👍”
About: Looking to fill the house with furry friends since my golden of 13 years recently passed and I’m really not ready for a permanent pet just yet. My home is set up for dogs under 100lb. Dogs have direct access to a fenced yard through a secure doggy door so they can come in and out as they please. I always have fresh water on the main level, upstairs room, and back patio. The back yard has a medium sized lawn area, large covered patio, and dog house. I’ve had experience with both puppies and senior dogs, and have a very pet-safe home. I have a flexible job that allows me to bring a dog if I’m going into the office. I do have work a couple days a week that requires I leave the house for up to 6 hours sometimes so having a dog that is ok to have the run of the house for a bit is preferred but this can be worked around as well. I plan to do dog sitting for a while until I decide it’s time for a new best friend. My job is pretty flexible. I can work from home most of the time so I can pay a lot of attention to your pet. I have a dog friendly home with doggy door access to a large covered patio and fenced yard. Dogs can come and go as they please through the door.
“Angie is amazing, and I see why she is so highly rated! Alfie looks like he had an awesome time and I really appreciate how responsive and flexible Angie was. Would definitely book again! Thanks!”
“We had a great experience with Kellan when he and his dog Yoshi took in our Australian Shepherd for a few nights. He was very communicative, sent daily pics, and even took her to run at the dog park. It’s clear Kellan really loves/respects dogs and understands them, and that gave us trust and peace of mind while leaving our girl with him. Also, Yoshi is a sweetheart. Thank you, Kellan and Yoshi!”
“Lucas was great! Good communication and flexible when I got home earlier than expected and wanted to pick moose up a few hours early. Would recommend Lucas and would use him again.”
“Sam enjoyed his time with Kenneth and his family. I was so grateful to find Kenneth on Rover after another sitter cancelled at the last minute. He quickly proposed a meet + greet and I appreciated his background as a vet tech. It was clear during this short initial visit that he knows a lot about animals. He and his wife also have a variety of pets. Kenneth was excellent at communicating, very responsive and sent photos every day. Sam was happy and comfortable from the start and enjoyed his stay. We recommend Kenneth!”
“Second stay with Scout and just as fantastic! They followed his detailed care instructions to the letter and graciously extended the booking when my trip plans changed — saving me the hassle of finding a second sitter mid-trip. Flexible, reliable, and Scout loves them. Highly recommend!”
“Scott is wonderful. He cared for my senior dog with so much empathy and understanding. I was worried about leaving my dog in a new home, but Scott quickly alleviated my fears. He kept me updated throughout my trip while also making sure I could enjoy my time away. I will definitely hire Scott again in the future!”
