“Andrea took great care of our Corgi named Cooper while we were out of state for a week! She had daily updates for us with great pictures, and she was very communicative and responsive. We appreciate the fact that we didn’t have to worry about our dog while we were on vacation, and truthfully I believe Cooper thought he was on vacation too! Andrea will be our first choice in asking to take care of him moving forward now. :)”
“Carrie was so awesome with my pup! She communicates very well, sends multiple pictures and was very flexible when my plans ended up changing. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Heather was awesome and her attention to my dog makes me feel so comfortable leaving him in her care. You can really tell how much she loves animals and her flexibility and communication has been amazing.”
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
“Tammy and her son took such great care of Louie! We received daily updates and it was obvious he was getting lots of love and attention. We will definitely work with her 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!”
“This is the second time our dog has stayed with Darcy and he ran right into the house. He's very comfortable there. Darcy takes very cute pictures and sends them them a while away, which I appreciate. Thank you for being so flexible as well!”
“Dalia and Dainius are great! I was able to do a meet and greet prior to the booking- they were very detailed and kind. They took excellent care of my dog during her stay, updated with pictures, and went on a lovely walk. Thank you again for watching Ethel!”
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.
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.
“Dana is friendly, communicative, and made me very comfortable leaving Jade in her care. She was flexible when I had a flight delay, which was super appreciated! Jade came home a happy pup. Will book with her again.”

“Dillon did a great job taking care of our pets! He was very communicative and provided lots of pictures. He was attentive and trustworthy. Thank you Dylan for everything!”

“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!”
“Apple was great with my girls! She was able to care for them longer than anticipated last minute as I had a family emergency pop up. She gave them lots of love, and cared for them as asked!”

“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.”
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.

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.

“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!”
“Highly recommend Janette. My dog is a special needs senior and isn't the easiest to care for but Janette was willing to keep him for the day and she and her boys were so good to him. I also got pics and updates which was great. Looking forward to the next time my pup gets to stay there!”
“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!”

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.
“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.”
“Jordyn is awesome! Super friendly and easy to work with. It was great to get updated throughout the day of what dogs were doing. She took great care of them and sent them home with homemade dogs treats.”

About: Who wouldn't want to hang out with dogs all day. Just this furry best friend that wants nothing more than to be a part of whatever you might be doing. I've had experience with dogs ranging from toy breeds to very large breeds. Having had dogs my whole life, I've cared for puppies thru seniors. I am a trained vet tech, and am comfortable taking care of dogs with a variety needs. Special diets, administration of meds, all not a problem. I don't even mind the small guys with big attitude! I have a fairly flexible work schedule, leaving me available after 3:30pm Sunday-Wednesday. Thursday-Saturday is more or less anytime of the day until about 10 pm. When it comes to caring for pets in your home, I prefer to keep to the house rules already in place. If there is a behavior we are trying to change or reinforce, I would like to be fully aware. This way I can continue training your in your absence. Other than that, expect me to spoil your fur friend. I have multiple dogs myself, and they are a part of my day. I would treat your dogs the same way.
“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.”
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.

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.

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.
“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!”

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.

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.

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.
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.
“They are doing a fabulous job of taking care of my dogs, sending updates and photos actively, and being very responsive throughout the day. Thank you for taking this last minute request and we will definitely come back later if needed.”
“Stephanie & Jennifer took great care of Mickey for a whole week! He had a lot of fun playing with their dogs and going on walks. I got daily photo and video updates of Mickey! I recommend this caretaker to anyone who needs someone to watch their pup!”
“Salena was great with my dog Frankie. She posted his status everyday and spent time with him taking him on walks and to the local dog park. She also spent some time teaching him new tricks! She was very conscientious and very friendly. I will definitely ask her to look after Frankie the next time I go on a trip.”
