“Rosie was so well cared for while we were out of town. We got multiple updates with photos every day. She took our dog on multiple walks per day, brushed her everyday, and made sure she had plenty of play time. Above and beyond great.”
“Andrea was great and so loving to Wookie!! She even slept in the guest room as he is accustomed to sleeping with someone. She took him on multiple walks each day and sent lots of pictures. It was very obvious Wookie was being well taken care of. :) I would definitely recommend Andrea to watch your pet. She did a fantastic job!!”
“Heather took great care of Moose while we were on vacation. She sent daily updates and made sure he got his daily walk. They accommodated his need to be fed away from the other dogs & he loved playing in their backyard. She let us come in advance for a meet & greet which we appreciated.”
“She was absolutely amazing with our pup! She sent so many pictures so we could see how he was doing, and you can tell she really cares for all the pups at her home. We will 100% be using Carrie again.”
About: Have dog sat a couple of times. I don't have a dog, but willing to have one around the house for those who need a dog sitter for a few days. My wife and I have opposite work schedule, so someone is home about 85 % of the time. Would be able to have someone take dogs for walks throughout the day, or watch them in the back yard Pets will be indoor. Have a fenced back yard when needed to go outside for bathroom needs. We don't have other pets , so your pet would not take away attention from your pet
“This was the first time I've used Tamara. She did a great job with our anxious havanese, Parker, and I think he settled right in. She has a small dog herself and it sounds like they got along well. Communication was great, as well the photos she sent while we were gone. Recommend!”
“We had the BEST experience with Kyle and Des! Our puppy Fernando loved hanging with them, their family, and their other boarder. They made us feel so comfortable leaving him for the first time and even gave him a bath before we picked him up. Kept us in the loop with photos and texts as well. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Janette was wonderful! We needed doggie care for an already planned vacation after getting our do, she allowed for a drop by prior to our scheduled time to see her location and have our dog become familiar. Janette sent pictures and updates every day. I would highly recommend Janette as she will care and love your pet as her own. We are so glad we have Janette, should we ever need pet care again.”
“It was such a pleasure to leave my two dogs with Laurel and her family. They got loving care as well as other small dogs and children to play with! I really appreciated the updates and photos. I would highly recommend!”
About: Growing up, I had all kinds of animals- dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, fish- but there was always a family dog. In our house, we now have two friendly and sociable pups of our own- Whiskey, our old grump, and Tennessee, our little snugglebug. We believe in humane training and unconditional love in this house and have welcomed many dogs into our home in the past. My husband and I both work from home, so there's always someone on site to make sure your pup is safe and loved on. We have a fully fenced yard ready for zoomies and play situated in a lovely, quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. We'd love if you'd join us! Both my husband and I work full-time with flexible home office, so there's always someone on site! We go for walks and play around in the yard on a daily basis. We have a fully fenced (6 ft) yard and two friendly dogs. Dogs are just as welcome inside as they are outside, with covered couches and cozy beds around the house.
“Darcy was outstanding with our puppy Ranger. She took perfect care of our dog, sent us pictures every day. Ranger had the time of his life with Darcy's family. I would definitely recommend Darcy and I am sure we will be repeat customers.”
About: My wife and have had dogs most of our life and multiple dogs at the same time throughout our 15 years of marriage. She previously worked with HABIC (human animal bond in colorado) to train her dog as a therapy dog to work in hospitals. We currently have 2 dogs, Bear a 13 y/o pyrinesse and Sasha a 8 month old rez dog rescue. Dogs are always welcome here. Dog ages dont matter, Bear has a gentle spirit to him and he loves puppies. Our only requirement is the dogs do a meet and greet and as long as they are good with each other so are we. We can help with minor training i.e. potty training, crate training, sit, shake etc. if you request it. Currently there is someone home 24 hours a day to play with and care for your puppies. I work a flex schedule and my wife is home during the days. We have 6 foot fenced yard for room to run outside, but prefer for their comfort to keep the pups indoors in the ac. We do have a smaller dog run if you prefer your pup to hang out outside. Fresh water is always out. We have several dog beds so they have comfy places to lay and we will work with your feeding schedule. We are familiar with giving oral medications if needed. Treats are handed out on the regular because the puppies deserve them.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult time. While we were laying my grandmother to rest, Misty gave us peace of mind and even a reason to smile. Her communication was excellent, lots of photos and videos that really helped ease my wife’s stress. When our flight got canceled, she graciously kept our dog an extra day without hesitation, which meant so much to us. Our dog clearly had an amazing time. She fell in love with her daughter and played tons of catch. We will absolutely be using her again. Only downside? When we got home, our dog was bored 😂 which tells you everything.”
“Dana is absolutely amazing! She kept me updated with photos and was very patient with me when explaining the very specific needs of my very fussy diabetic dog. I don’t always feel comfortable leaving him with someone outside of the vet because of his medications but Dana made me feel so comfortable right from the first meeting! I will absolutely be booking again because I completely trust Dana with my little old man. Thank you so much Dana!”

“Blake is excellent! Her reviews were very informative and humorous and she sent the cutest pictures of my cat! It was nice to know that I could totally trust Blake and made my being away much easier. Thanks so much!”
“Dillon did a few drop in visits for my pups and was absolutely amazing! My German shepherd has never met him before the visits and he was a pro at getting her to warm up to him! He also played with them and adjusted to their different play styles. We will be contacting Dillon again for future visits! I highly recommend him!!”
“Amber goes above and beyond, and I can depend on her to be there when I need her. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of expertise with dogs and went above and beyond and gave me great value today when she bathed both of my dogs. One of them is a puppy and quite the shyster. She is a golden doodle and I know they are not easy to keep groomed. Thanks, Amber and I will see you next time!”
“Shayna watched my cat while I was away in Europe for a wedding. Leaving your pet is always hard, especially when going abroad. But Shayna gave me so much peace of mind. Great communication, responsive, and super caring. She even checked in on me during my journey back to make sure I made it safely. I highly recommend her, I know I will use her for my next trip :)”
“Kristen has been an absolute God send! My dogs love her and my cats even the skiddish cat loves on her!! I am far away and love getting the pics of all my animals enjoying her company!! She always updates me on everything she's doing and has been so easy to work with!! I'm glad my animals have her to love on them!!”
“Emma was amazing! She helped us out for a week and went above and beyond taking care of the pets and cleaning up any messes they made. Would highly recommend!”
“Bryce was absolutely fantastic! Beyond just the normal level of care you'd expect for a whole week, he was flexible, friendly, and genuinely cared for our cats. He even was able to be friendly enough with our scaredy cat to get him to feel comfortable with being pet and even being seen every day. Our one cat can be a little high maintenance despite his friendly demeanor, so it was great knowing that Bryce was comfortable and competent enough to take care of him and make sure that both our boys didn't feel lonely when we were away. He's definitely getting a callback from us next time we're in need!”
“Very professional and communicative. Send us pictures, let us know if she was going to be late. Really enjoyed having her work with us. My cat doesn't like strangers usually, but was very cooperative with Apple. Would recommend her anytime and will use her again in the future.”
About: I have owned cats since I was young. But I have professionally worked with cats for 2 years. During this time, I gained experience providing care to all ages, including newborns and seniors. I am feline CPR, vaccine and first aid certified. Rest assured I can provide your friend with all their medical needs.
“Savannah is amazing. I had never used Rover before and was nervous, but I found myself needing pet care last minute. She made me feel instantly comfortable and couldn’t have taken better care of my cat while I was gone. The updates and photos were amazing, and she truly cares :)”
“We appreciated Savannah taking care of the girls. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that the girls were in great hands. Will definitely book again with Savannah.”

“Raquel took care of my cat while I was away for family matters. It was a stressful trip but the one thing I didn't stress over was my cat. I knew he was in good hands. I'd highly recommend Raquel!”
About: I have 4 cats of my own, and it was a big challenge getting all of them to get along (it still is) but I learned so much along the way as to what it takes to facilitate a loving and healthy environment for them in one’s home. I’m ready to bring that knowledge and expertise with me when caring for yours!
About: I am very comfortable caring for cats and have experience with both healthy cats and those requiring extra attention. My cat, Cheddar, has undergone multiple dental surgeries and the removal of one eye, and I helped care for him throughout each recovery. This included administering medications, following veterinary instructions, monitoring his health, and making sure he stayed comfortable during the healing process. Through this experience, I have become confident in caring for cats with medical needs while also providing the patience, affection, and attention every cat deserves.
“I was so happy to find Kristina. She took care of my home, my dog and cat for 10 days. My dog has pretty extreme separation anxiety, but when I got home I could tell he had gotten lots of Ioving. Kristina kept me informed on what was going on but not too much so I could enjoy my vacation. Also, I liked that she and I communicated how we each wanted things. She did a great job for all that time when she had never been with my animals before.”

“Cooper loves Carrie! And she loves him. He’s tired when he comes home, so I’m so happy he gets to play with his friends. Thank you for all the photos during the day, so I can see my boy having fun with the others.”
“Yi Ling is honestly the best!!! My pup absolutely loves going to her house. And when I pick him up, he’s exhausted! I know he’s getting the enrichment he needs. He never wants to leave her house!!! 10 put of 10 all day!”
“Apple did a great job taking care of my pup! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day and responded quickly when I texted. My pup had a great time with her and was tired out after hanging out with her, which is hard to do! I would highly recommend trusting her with your animal!”

“Liz is absolutely amazing with Hammi! She was so kind and accommodating, even helping us out early in the morning. Hammi had a fantastic time under her care, meeting new friends and finding playmates. I’m so grateful for her kindness and flexibility, and I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again with Hammi!”

About: I owned my own pet-sitting company for 8 years in Michigan. I always offer a 100% satisfaction promise to all my clients. (If you or your pet are not satisfied with my services, I will gladly give you your money back!) I treated my clients' pets as though they were my own. I am a certified Vet Tech as well. I am able to administer any type of medication or medical aid. I am a certified dog trainer. I specialize in training traumatized dogs rescued from shelters to overcome anxiety. I have cared for every type of pet including exotics. There is no type of pet I can't care for. :) I love caring for "fur people." This is not just a job to me. It is a passion that I live. I am available 24hrs a day 7 days a week. I live alone. My son is all grown up and has his own family. 😊 I just got a 6 foot tall cedar privacy fence installed around my HUGE yard. I am excited to be able to finally offer boarding and daycare services.
“Ciara was awesome caring for our puppy. This was our first Rover experience and our puppy’s first experience staying away from home. Everything went great and our dog had a great time playing with Ciara and her dogs. We will definitely be using Ciara again in the future and highly recommend her.”
“A true dog whisperer. When I needed to find a sitter last minute AJ made accommodations perfectly. He made my pup feel at home from the minute he introduced himself. Not to mention how attentive he was to my pups needs. He had so much fun and almost didnt want to leave. Thank you AJ you're the best.”
“I highly recommend Evelyn! She took care of my puppy for the day and did an excellent job. After meeting with her, I felt very confident with my choice. Her home is clean and well suited to taking care of pets. She asked all the right questions so she could give him the best care. She was friendly, professional and communicated in a timely manner. My puppy immediately felt comfortable in her home and when I picked him up, he seemed content to just continue hanging out there:) I am very happy to have found a petsitter who gives me peace of mind that my dog is very well taken care of when I am away.”

About: We’re a work-from-home household, so your pup will always have company! I work from home full-time, and my husband is home two days a week, so someone will always be around to keep your dog happy and cared for. Our dog, Mutty, is very easygoing and tends to match the energy of other dogs. He loves to play, but if your pup isn’t interested (especially if they’re smaller or more low-key) he’s just as happy to relax by the window and watch the world go by. We love getting the dogs out for fresh air and exercise, so you can expect 40–90 minutes of walks each day. While we don’t have a backyard, we do have access to a quiet, usually empty dog park nearby for safe outdoor play if your pup needs to stretch their legs. We rarely need to separate dogs, but if play ever gets a little too rowdy, we’ll give them a short break. One will hang out in the office with me while the other relaxes in the main area, and then we switch. You’ll receive daily photo updates of your pup, and we’re always available to answer questions or provide extra updates while you’re away. We’re very flexible and happy to accommodate your dog’s routine, needs, and quirks to make them feel right at home. Hi there! 👋 I work from home and am home almost all day—I only step out for quick errands or the gym—so your pup will have constant company and care unless we’re out of town. Your dog will have a built-in playmate with our 40lb boxer-pug, Mutty, and can enjoy: Up to 2 walks a day (jogs if they’re into it!) Trips to our quiet dog park just 5 minutes away Indoor fun like fetch, toys, and lick mats Endless pets, cuddles, and attention while they’re missing their parents We like to know a few things before hosting to make sure your pup is safe and happy here: How they do with other dogs (we understand some pups need a warm-up period!) Any medical conditions or medications If they are potty trained and whether they chew things so we can prepare our space Our goal is to give your dog a loving, comfortable, and fun stay while giving you peace of mind with daily updates and photos. 🐾 My husband and I both work from home, so your pup will have company all day long! Our 40lb boxer-pug, Mutty, is our only “child” and loves having dog friends over to keep him company. Dogs staying with us get plenty of potty breaks, walks, cuddles, and playtime. While we don’t have a yard, we live just five minutes from a quiet dog park that we visit almost daily for safe outdoor play. We know your dog is your baby, and we do everything we can to make them feel loved and cared for while they’re missing their parents. Expect lots of snuggles, attention, and daily updates to keep you at ease while you’re away!

About: Hello! My name is Kate, and I am a senior at the University of Northern Colorado! I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, and more. I currently own four dogs and a disabled cat, giving me firsthand experience with pets of all sizes and special needs. I've cared for dogs ranging from a three-legged Chihuahua to an Irish Wolfhound and am comfortable administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and managing prescription diets. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of providing safe, reliable, and loving care for every pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as I am already responsible for caring for my own pets. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days and times, with the exception of Tuesdays from 12:00 PM–3:00 PM and Thursdays from 11:00 AM–2:00 PM when I am at work. Outside of those hours, I have full availability and can provide reliable care, walks, drop-in visits, feeding, medication administration, and plenty of attention for your pets. I care for every pet according to their individual needs and routine. In a client's home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and attention, and receive any medications or special care they require. I also help maintain their normal routine to keep them comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is always to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Raquel is awesome! She genuinely cares to get to know Finn and his personality and preferences. She's a great communicator, timely, and easy to coordinate with. We're so happy she's available to take him on multiple weekly walks.”
About: I have had pets most of my life. I love all animals. I have volunteered or worked with animals in vet hospitals, rescues, sanctuaries and pet sitting since I was 16.

I am willing to work with you on a time that is best for you and your pet. I do not provide services in my home at this time, but am happy to come to your home or take your pet to another (specified by you) location for playing and walks.
About: I have had cats, dogs and rodents since I was able to walk. I love all animals and cannot wait to meet yours! I currently have two cats, two rats and a leopard gecko. I am currently a student and I have plenty of time on my hands to take great care of any pet that you need! I attend school for a few hours a day and am free most of the time! I live in an apartment, but have no issues watching pets in your home! I could take in cats, but dogs might feel a bit cramped in my one bedroom apartment

About: *PLEASE READ* For House Sitting visits my dog Bucky will need to accompany me while im living nomadically. Feel free to ask any questions or concerns you might have about this and please take a moment to view some of the photos in my profile and read some reviews to get a better idea of the type of work we do with all creatures great and small! Every job I've done so far he has been with me with no issues. Meeting Bucky will undoubtedly answer some more difficult questions you might have about the quality of my pet care. Dogs are social animals and as humans we tend to spend so much time training them to be good we can forget we are the architects of their entire reality and to take time to just let them just be dogs. They're loud messy and impulsive. When we choose patience over frustration and offer comfort to a creature that cannot speak our language I feel that is engaging in the highest form of stewardship. A true non transactional act of service. I am currently living nomadically as a way to take my dog Bucky on his retirement journey of sorts. He DOES NOT have to participate in any tasks you hire me for but you can always opt in to that for free. **Please note that I cannot exclude my dog for over night stays at your location. Only walks and check-ins ect. My nomadic lifestyle is very much to your benefit, as it gives me a flexible schedule and the time and ability to focus on what you and your pets need. If you need a pet sitter for overnight or long-term care but aren't sure about having someone live in your home, that's fine! I just find a place to park. I am genuinely signed up for this because I would love to do it. All of it. Help me with Bucky's retirement journey by letting me help you take good care of your pets!
About: I professionally worked with dogs for 3 years and have experience working with all types of dogs large and small, high energy and mellow, social and shy. I’m well acquainted with administering medication orally and topically. High quality photos during our time will also be provided :) It’s a priority of mine to respect your home and leave your home just as it was when you left and with a happy dog when you return! NOTE: I do not accept 90+ lb dogs that are known to pull/get riled up by environmental factors. I am pretty small myself so I cannot safely handle such dogs. This is for the safety of both your pup and me! Thanks for checking my profile! As of now, I am currently unemployed and Rover is my main gig. That means more time and availability for you and your pup! If this changes it will be reflected here. I will always treat your home and your pet with utmost care and respect. ❤️ I’m in tune with reading dog behavior and language and can adjust my manner to whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable and happy.
About: Pets are not just animals, they’re part of the family! Whenever I take care of an animal, I like to see myself in their… paws. I think to myself how I’d want to be treated, and make sure they get the best treatment possible. All through my life I have taken care of all of my pets from fish, to cats and dogs, and even moths and butterflies! Back home in Minnesota, I used to take care of two cats, Lucky and Gnocchi, which Gnocchi is now in the loving care of my grandparents, and Lucky has been watching from above for more than a few years now. I later took care of my cat, Foxy, who has since joined Lucky and both are watching my progress from above. Now, my dog Bailey is at home with two kittens, Ava and Johnny, who are currently being cared for by my mom. I miss my fluffy friends back home, and would love to make some new ones around the area! I currently have a part-time job at Raising Cane’s in Loveland, and I’m trying my best to keep my Rover schedule updated with my work schedule. I’m free for care all week, save for the hours I am at work, but I am always willing to drop in or stay over should the situation call for it. I’m willing to house-sit full-time, but I will need at least two weeks of notice in order to take the correct days off of work. Safety has always been my number one priority no matter what job I have been given. Risks and shortcuts are something I barely even know how to do, and instructions on what the owners want the sitter to do with their pets are the only thing that will be followed (along with basic common sense of course). I am readily available to read your pet’s emotions and figure out their needs from only a few little body language changes, and I will always give them the love and care that they deserve.
“Elyssa is amazing! She is always punctual and amazing with my dogs! I have a husky who usually takes a while to warm up to people and she was almost immediately okay with Elyssa. She goes above and beyond for the puppers! She’s for sure keeping us as a regular!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years. I have a dog of my own that I was taking care of when not in school. I also take care of family friends pets while on vacation and at work. I love to give dogs baths and play with them! Pet care fits into my schedule since I am a college student. Pet care can be molded into the ideal schedule and I am flexible with coming up with set schedules and routines to properly care for animals before, between, and after classes! I care for pets by making sure they are fed, have water, and a comfortable and safe place to sleep. I love knowing that animals are well taken care of. I love being able to play with animals and generally spend time ensuring that they feel the love they all need and want.
About: 🐾 Personalized, Experienced Pet Care I provide attentive, compassionate pet care that’s tailored to each animal’s unique needs and personality. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of many breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I take the time to truly understand each pet’s routine, energy level, and comfort needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. ⸻ 🐶 Specialized Experience: Puppies, Seniors & Foster Dogs I have extensive experience caring for very young animals who require close supervision, consistent routines, and positive guidance, as well as senior pets who need extra patience, gentle handling, and careful monitoring. I’ve also fostered many dogs, giving me experience supporting pets through transitions and helping them feel secure in new environments. I also have veterinary assistant experience in a veterinary hospital that includes patient support, client communication, and animal welfare. ⸻ 🐕 Reactive, Nervous & Training-Support Experience Through fostering and hands-on care, I’ve worked with reactive, nervous, and shy dogs, using calm handling and desensitization techniques to build confidence and reduce stress. I’m experienced in reading body language, preventing triggers, and creating structured, positive interactions that prioritize both the dog’s comfort and safety. ⸻ 🐈🐍🦜🐴 Multi-Species Animal Care In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for reptiles, birds, and large animals. This has strengthened my ability to follow detailed care instructions, maintain proper environments, and recognize subtle changes in behavior or health across many species. ⸻ 🛡️ Safety-First & Detail-Oriented Care Safety is always my top priority with every animal I care for. I’m highly detail-oriented with feeding schedules, medications, enrichment, potty routines, and special instructions. I focus on secure handling, clean environments, and constant awareness to ensure pets are protected and comfortable at all times. ⸻ 💬 Reliable, Loving & Communicative Whether your pet needs calm companionship, structured activity, training support, or extra TLC, I’m committed to providing reliable, knowledgeable, and loving care. I value clear communication and want every owner to feel confident and at ease knowing their pet is in capable, caring hands. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. As a student in a veterinary technology program, animal care is already a central part of my life, and I structure my schedule to allow plenty of time and flexibility for pets in my care. This allows me to be reliable and attentive with dog walks, drop-in visits, and care while owners are away, without rushing or cutting corners. I’m used to planning my days around animals’ needs, including consistent feeding times, exercise, enrichment, and observation. Because of this, I’m able to provide dependable, focused care and give each pet the time and attention they deserve. I also take great pride in taking pictures and updates of the animals in my care. So you can also feel connected and comfortable being away from your furry companions. When caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on providing a safe, structured, and comfortable environment that meets each pet’s individual needs. I live in an apartment but am surrounded by nature trails, which allows for plenty of exercise, enrichment, and mental stimulation through regular walks and outdoor time. In my home, pets have designated, secure areas for rest, feeding, and play, and I carefully manage space to prevent stress or unsafe interactions. I do not have any permanent animals in my residence, which allows me to fully focus on the pets in my care, though I do foster puppies occasionally with proper separation and supervision. Safety is always a top priority—I follow secure leash practices, maintain a clean environment, monitor behavior closely, and strictly follow owner instructions to ensure every pet feels protected, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.

I am a college student with a very flexible schedule so feel free to reach out and we can do what is the best for your schedule! I am a very thorough and respectful professional with your best interest in mind! Whatever your expectations are, I will go above and beyond to deliver them.

“Rosie was so well cared for while we were out of town. We got multiple updates with photos every day. She took our dog on multiple walks per day, brushed her everyday, and made sure she had plenty of play time. Above and beyond great.”
“Heather took great care of Moose while we were on vacation. She sent daily updates and made sure he got his daily walk. They accommodated his need to be fed away from the other dogs & he loved playing in their backyard. She let us come in advance for a meet & greet which we appreciated.”
“She was absolutely amazing with our pup! She sent so many pictures so we could see how he was doing, and you can tell she really cares for all the pups at her home. We will 100% be using Carrie again.”
“We had the BEST experience with Kyle and Des! Our puppy Fernando loved hanging with them, their family, and their other boarder. They made us feel so comfortable leaving him for the first time and even gave him a bath before we picked him up. Kept us in the loop with photos and texts as well. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Janette was wonderful! We needed doggie care for an already planned vacation after getting our do, she allowed for a drop by prior to our scheduled time to see her location and have our dog become familiar. Janette sent pictures and updates every day. I would highly recommend Janette as she will care and love your pet as her own. We are so glad we have Janette, should we ever need pet care again.”
About: Growing up, I had all kinds of animals- dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, fish- but there was always a family dog. In our house, we now have two friendly and sociable pups of our own- Whiskey, our old grump, and Tennessee, our little snugglebug. We believe in humane training and unconditional love in this house and have welcomed many dogs into our home in the past. My husband and I both work from home, so there's always someone on site to make sure your pup is safe and loved on. We have a fully fenced yard ready for zoomies and play situated in a lovely, quiet neighborhood perfect for walks. We'd love if you'd join us! Both my husband and I work full-time with flexible home office, so there's always someone on site! We go for walks and play around in the yard on a daily basis. We have a fully fenced (6 ft) yard and two friendly dogs. Dogs are just as welcome inside as they are outside, with covered couches and cozy beds around the house.
“Darcy was outstanding with our puppy Ranger. She took perfect care of our dog, sent us pictures every day. Ranger had the time of his life with Darcy's family. I would definitely recommend Darcy and I am sure we will be repeat customers.”
About: My wife and have had dogs most of our life and multiple dogs at the same time throughout our 15 years of marriage. She previously worked with HABIC (human animal bond in colorado) to train her dog as a therapy dog to work in hospitals. We currently have 2 dogs, Bear a 13 y/o pyrinesse and Sasha a 8 month old rez dog rescue. Dogs are always welcome here. Dog ages dont matter, Bear has a gentle spirit to him and he loves puppies. Our only requirement is the dogs do a meet and greet and as long as they are good with each other so are we. We can help with minor training i.e. potty training, crate training, sit, shake etc. if you request it. Currently there is someone home 24 hours a day to play with and care for your puppies. I work a flex schedule and my wife is home during the days. We have 6 foot fenced yard for room to run outside, but prefer for their comfort to keep the pups indoors in the ac. We do have a smaller dog run if you prefer your pup to hang out outside. Fresh water is always out. We have several dog beds so they have comfy places to lay and we will work with your feeding schedule. We are familiar with giving oral medications if needed. Treats are handed out on the regular because the puppies deserve them.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter during such a difficult time. While we were laying my grandmother to rest, Misty gave us peace of mind and even a reason to smile. Her communication was excellent, lots of photos and videos that really helped ease my wife’s stress. When our flight got canceled, she graciously kept our dog an extra day without hesitation, which meant so much to us. Our dog clearly had an amazing time. She fell in love with her daughter and played tons of catch. We will absolutely be using her again. Only downside? When we got home, our dog was bored 😂 which tells you everything.”
“Patrick was very accommodating and a pleasure to interact with. Timmy very much enjoyed his stay, and we will most certainly be calling up on Patrick again for pet-sitting. I was kept in the loop about Timmy's activities and sent photos and a video as well. I unequivocally recommend Patrick for your pet-sitting needs.”
“Ciara took great care of our 2 dogs for a week. Usually our dogs come home from a sitter and cling to us desperately, but our dogs came home from Ciara’s very calm and happy! She clearly loves dogs and we would highly recommend her. Our dogs especially loved that she had a fantastic dog park on site. Thanks, Ciara!”
“I was so appreciative of the flexibility for a last-minute booking when our vet’s office overbooked. Stuart clearly had a wonderful time playing because he came home, immediately passed out, and snored for HOURS. Appreciated the cute videos of him getting cuddles, and smiling about it!”
“Had to book last minute, Stephanie and Jennifer were very quick to respond and always very accommodating for our boys. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
