“Lilly was amazing. She was quick to respond to messages. Sent plenty of photos, pictures and updates. She was willing to pickup and and was punctual with drop off. I highly recommend Lilly for dog sitting/boarding”
“Liah is absolutely wonderful!! She went above and beyond every step; not only for Gus, but for us as well. Great communication, sweet picture updates and space to let Gus find his happy place. Will absolutely book with Liah again!”
“Abby was absolutely wonderful as a sitter. My regular sitter was out of town and unavailable to take care of my dog but Abby was very quick to respond and setting up a meet and greet was super easy. She sent me plenty of updates throughout the five days I was away, and always messaged whenever she had a question regarding my dog's care. I went on my trip with full confidence that he would be well taken care of!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember in my family and recently got my very own Golden Ausiedoodle who just turned 1 year old! I have a dog of my own so pet care is part of my daily lifestyle, From playing fetch in the yard to taking my girl for walks on the beach! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly and well trained 1 year old golden Ausiedoodle to keep your dog very thoroughly entertained!
About: Having been a dog lover since childhood, I’ve always had dog sitting gigs for a side hustle. I also managed a professional boarding kennel for 5 years where I learned to care for pets of all sizes, personalities and needs. The great outdoors are my life, and I have grown into a passion hunting dogs, and have spent the last 4 years training my Labrador retriever. I have two dogs of my own, West, my four year old trusty hunting black Labrador, and Tilly a nine year old German Shepherd mix. I’m mostly available on weekends (Friday-Sunday), but depending on your dog’s daily needs, I can be flexible. I live in Oak Creek, but work in Steamboat Springs at a very dog friendly environment. I ensure your pet gets the basic care they need, plus extra love, photos, and time outside. I am flexible on whether you want me to stay in your home, or in mine, again depending on the specific pet’s needs and location.
“Hadley was wonderful with my older pup. She sent photos of their walks together and noted my dogs quirky behaviors. I will definitely use her again if I come back into town.”
“Suzanne was a whole new level of wonderful! She made sure we were comfortable and gave us awesome updates throughout the stay. She took our girl on hikes and walks and made sure she was loved and taken care of. I am pretty sure our pup thought SHE was at the resort! Next time we're in Steamboat Suzanne will be our absolute go-to! :) Thank you so much Suzanne!!”
“Chad was so incredible to our dog. He really let her become part of the family. He gave her delicious food, let her sleep with the family in the bed, took her on plenty of walks, sent a ton of updates. She was in heat and he handled the diapers and her need for love so well. I felt so assured that she was having a really good time, and when we got back to her she wasn’t anxious at all. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on Rover. I can’t recommend him enough. He was super flexible and accommodating and overall, a really good person who gave our girl so much love and comfort.”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs and my father is a veterinarian so I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. Throughout high school and college I house sat often for family friends and my own family’s dogs. I now have my own dog who I love more than anything. I am a very active person who loves to bring my dog along on adventures and would be excited to add your dog to the fun:) I work part time as a nanny which is very flexible and allows me to swing home to check on doggies if i’m working for longer than the dog can be alone. I have experience watching doggies in my own home and in others home. l live next to great walking trails and a great park for fetch. My doggie would love to keep yours company but she can also be in her kennel if that makes any owners more comfortable.
About: Hi there! I love working with animals. I have a puppy of my own, and I also work for a dog service company in town so I have lots of experience with all sorts of temperament and personalities! I have also had over four pets in my house since I was a small child! My friends and family calls me a pet whisperer. I hope to meet your furr baby! Weekends are best suited for my schedule and pet care; however on other days, we can try to make it work! If I can bring my pup along, my schedule will be more open! I am patient and love to cuddle furr babies! In my home, I have roommates who also love animals and would be excited to play with pets! Responsible is my middle name!
About: I don’t just “watch” dogs I connect with them. Every pup I care for is treated like family, with personalized attention based on their unique personality, energy, and needs. Whether it's playing fetch until their tail can’t wag any faster, sticking to a strict medication schedule, or just being a calm presence for anxious dogs I show up with heart, patience, and intuition. I keep pet parents updated with honest, real time updates and photos, so they always feel confident and connected. My space (or theirs) is always safe, clean, and full of love. This isn’t just a side gig for me it’s what I genuinely love doing. I work just three days a week (Tuesday-Thursday) and I’m off every weekend, which means I’m fully available to give your dog the love, time, and attention they deserve when most people are scrambling for coverage. Need help during the week? No problem! I can absolutely care for your dog on weekdays too just know that I’m at work from 6 AM to 5 PM. If your pup is comfortable hanging out during the day (with all day access to food, water, and a safe space), I’m more than happy to help. I make sure they’re well cared for before and after work with walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s weekends, overnight stays, or occasional weekday help I’m here to make life easier for you and happier for your pup. When your dog stays with me, they’ll have their own private room to relax and feel completely at ease. They can snooze on a comfy queen sized bed or I can set up their own dog bed whatever makes them feel most at home. My own dogs sleeps in my bed, so your pup will have their own peaceful space to unwind and rest. Plus, we have a huge backyard that’s perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and getting out all that extra energy. Whether your pup loves to run, sniff, or just sunbathe, they’ll have plenty of safe space to enjoy the outdoors. Your dog isn’t just staying over they’re joining a calm, loving home designed with their comfort in mind
About: I have experience in all things dog walking, training, crate training, bath time, feeding time, medicine distribution, playtime, socializing, house training, dog birthday parties, and specialized attention. I prioritize dogs health and walkies so I always get up in the cold mornings, feed them on time, take good walks, and take them to the park for socialization. I base my schedule around letting them out and giving them enough playtime to reduce boredom. My house is clear of any hazards and all cleaning supplies are put away. Since it’s not my pet, we will not be going off leash on walks.
About: * Been taking care of friend's loved one for decades * Ample, daily play-time is provided * Live near Rita Valentine so short or long hikes very accessible * My rules are your rules - whatever is needed to make things seamless for you and your pet so they are comfortable while you are away * I work from home and have a very flexible schedule * I'm able to walk dogs very regularly on whatever schedule they normally have * I live up the street from Yampa Core Trail and right by Rita Valentine so ample options to get them out and exercising * 15-45 minutes hikes are very easy to accommodate * My husband is retired so he is also home. He is a SUCKER for an offered belly so often his choosing to work out or doing any work around the house is ignored in favor of rubbing bellies! * I'm in a very quiet and dog-friendly neighborhood. * I have a nice side-yard but it is not fenced in. Dogs are never let out on their own. * Dogs are allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed - I try to follow whatever is the "norm" for them * I have no problem taking dogs in my car to run errands (if they have separation issues) or to have variety at Spring Creek or other nearby walking areas. * For the senior loved ones: there is an enclosed flight of stairs to get into the house. Carrying pups up stairs is NOT an issue - I had an injured gal who was limping and I just picked her up to make it easier. (50-ish lbs)

I have extensive experience with horses and farm animals as well, through riding, competing, and training horses for most of my life.

About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of friends dogs ever since I can remember. In my community I am often the first person called when it comes down to finding a trustworthy pet sitter. In addition, I have spent the last 5 years working with/ and babysitting kids with severe cognitive and physical disabilities. As a full time student I spend a lot of my time doing school work but, like dogs, need to get out and run around. I get to spend my time outside, on walks, runs, and bikes in between classes and on the weekends. I live in an apartment with two other dog loving girls. I am more than happy to share my bed or floor with an interested pup. Although I don't have a yard, I live right across from a big soccer field and have access to the horse gulch trail system behind my apartment (which I frequently use). I am currently working as a plumber for my dad. I tend to have lots of leniency with work and can even bring a pup with me! My house is open to all cats and dogs and that includes the couch haha! I live outside of town in a house where dogs have lots of room to roam and even a pond! In my home the safety of all pets is very important :)

“Absolutely wonderful to work with! Her communication was absolutely amazing and she treated our home and more importantly our baby girl with so much kindness and respect we have no words! We 100% recommend her!”
“I've used Mayra twice now. One time Ally stayed with her and this last time she came by the house a couple times while I was out of town. Best service I've had and will continue to use Mayra when she's available! ”
About: I have been caring for cats since early childhood and have a true passion for animals. Pet sitting was my first means of income as a child with my neighbors (and parents) allowing me to care for their animals into my home while also growing up with a number of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and rodents. My love for animals has only grown and for the first time in my life I have no pets of my own. For that reason, Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to spend time where my heart is and surround myself with what I love while also helping others. Look forward to hearing from you!
“Ella was fantastic! She provided me with such peace of mind while I was away by sending texts and updates with photos, and I came home to find my cats so healthy and happy. I feel so lucky to have found her and look forward to having her care for my cats again next time I'm out of town - and I know the kitties are looking forward to seeing her again too :)”
“Kelsey was awesome! She took such good care of our cat while we were away for multiple weeks. Our cat is very vocal and Kelsey did awesome with her! We will for sure use her again!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and while I haven’t had a dog of my own, I’ve volunteered at the Humane Society and take pet care seriously. I bring genuine affection, attention to detail, and a calm, reliable presence—this isn’t just a side gig for me, it’s something I truly enjoy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I enjoy making space in my routine to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I care for pets like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: Over my lifetime I have personally cared/owned 4 dogs and 3 cats. I have additionally done pet care for friends and family. I have experience with all dog sizes. My expectations of sitting include but are not limited too, keeping your pet active, keeping a normal feeding schedule, and giving out lots of pets. Currently, I am newly graduated and in between the start time of my career. I am a free agent that’s openly available as long as there is clear communication. Any animal I look after, I care for them as if they are my own. Bathroom breaks, walks, activities, and feeding routines will be continued as if you never left.
About: I've done overnight house stays for several families in the Yampa Valley this year. Longest stay was 10 days. I love getting to know the dogs in the Valley and getting to go on great walks with them. I provide quality pet care and can provide references. When doing overnight house stays, on weekdays, I feed and walk the dogs before I go to work (I start work at 8am), and then after I get off work I come home to feed and walk them again. On weekends it is much easier, and I have all day to walk and feed them. I treat the pets with total respect and love. If the pets require any specific medication I can certainly administer it to them in their food.
About: I will treat your pup with the love and detail I treat my own. Grew up with dogs and currently have a 8 year old field golden retriever named Thule. I have 10 years of experience working with dogs professionally, including volunteer work with Midwest Animal Resue and Services on the Receiving and Adoption team. I also own and operate a dog care business locally, Steamboat Pets, and serve as Board Vice President of the Routt County Humane Society. I’m insured and certified in dog CPR/First Aid. Dog care is my life, literally! I quit my corporate job of 13 years to care for dogs in the Steamboat Springs and surrounding communities. I will take your lead on what your dog needs - you know best! I will also have back up supplies, especially when staying overnight or going out on long hikes.
About: I am a former veterinary technician and Veterinary Hospital manager. I have an abiding love for animals and the outdoors. I will take care of your fur baby as I would my own. ❤ I'm currently working part-time, and I'm looking to making pet care a more central part of my life, so I will have plenty of time to give the attention to your kiddo(s) that they deserve. ❤ I have three super friendly dogs of my own, but I wouldn't be bringing them for dog walks or pet sitting unless socialization is something that is desirable. ❤

“Liah is amazing! Kona went with her immediately, which tells me she truly has a special connection with dogs. Communication throughout the day was excellent, and she was very flexible with pick-up time. I felt completely at ease knowing Kona was in such good hands. 100% recommended!”
“Elisabeth and Mike were incredible sitters for my 11 year old higher anxiety cattle dog mix pup, Hazel for a week while I was on a work trip to Steamboat Springs. I always struggle leaving her with new people but they very adamantly listened to all the needs I expressed about Hazel's care and as a result make it very easy to trust that I was leaving her in good care. One of my favorite things was that as a dog with separation anxiety, Hazel never had to be alone during doggy daycare! It was clear after the week that she was so loved and well cared for that she didn't want to go home! I'm so grateful for Elisabeth's trustability, reliability, communication, cute pictures, and catering Hazel's experience to her needs over the course of the week. I only wish I lived closer so Hazel could see them more often!”
“Chad was fantastic! They were super attentive to my pup and stayed in touch with quick updates the whole time. The large fenced-in yard was a huge hit, and I really appreciated how flexible they were with my schedule. It’s such a relief finding a sitter this reliable—we’ll definitely be back!”
“"I cannot recommend Mayra enough. She sent us photos and videos of our furry baby, which made our vacation so relaxing because we knew he was in great hands. Mayra was able to confirm our appointment within an hour of us needing someone to take care of our puppy. She was caring, and truly treated our dog like their own. Thank you for the amazing care!"”
“Suzanne and her family treated Sophie like one of their own. They were extremely considerate of her special needs as an older dog and I felt safe leaving my gal in their care! We will definitely use them again the next time we’re in Steamboat.”
“This worked out great! Juanita was available on short notice, and very responsive, and we were able to keep our pup sheltered from the extreme daytime heat while we were camping in Steamboat. Very grateful that we had this last minute solution.”
“Liam did a fantastic job taking care of Bowie. I really like his calm, friendly demeanor which put my pup and me at ease. When I picked Bowie up I could tell he received a good amount of exercise, but wasn’t overstimulated or anxious. Liam was quick to respond to any questions I had and sent me a picture of Bowie during the day just to let me know he was doing well.”
About: From draft horses to Labradors I have always loved taking care of animals. Growing up in North West Iowa our family has had 5 generations of working Labrador retrievers spanning from the early 1970's. Without a doubt, dogs are our favorite family tradition. I own an equine property in a beautiful part of Colorado. My day starts early taking care of the animals. From horses to goats they all require my constant care. Every day is an adventure out on the ranch. Your dog will have a country experience that most humans would envy! Your pup will be my side kick and get to make new friends!
About: I have had dogs all my life. Right now I have a golden retriever back home in Wisconsin and I'm missing my dog time! I love going on runs and going hiking, so if that's what your dog needs I am here for them! I am a recent graduate from CU-boulder who is job searching so I currently have some time on my hands-would love to meet you and your dogs. I understand that dogs need attention and need walks and physical activity to be happy. I am willing to dog/ house sit whenever you need as long as it is a reasonable distance from where I live. I also play a lot of sports if your dog is anything like my dog I would love to play soccer and basketball with them!
About: Having been raised as a child with multiple pets - dogs, cats, and chickens - as well as occasionally caring for the pets of friends and family, I am passionate about and experienced in looking after animals of different kinds.

“Absolutely wonderful! Chad does an amazing job and my Husky is always happy to see him. He takes great care of my puppets. He has a great connection with animals and my dog is always well walked and exhausted afterwards. If you want some who treats your dog like their own; then hands down, don't think, choose Chad!”

She was super responsive and would absolutely use her again. Recommend to anyone needing someone to take care of their animals for a weekend! Thank you Bridget!!”

I also can be available on short notice if I’m not working my other job. I understand the love and importance of your pet to you and I would treat them like my own. I’ve raised lots of pets and three children and everybody’s doing awesome. :)
About: I have been trusted to take care of dogs, cats, and kittens since I was 11 years old! I have worked with the local humane society since I was 9, so I am very well versed in providing a loving and safe environment for any animals with which I work! I do not start my new job until early November, so my schedule is fully available daily or weekly for any pet care that you might need! Safety is of the upmost priority to me when it comes to pet care. Ensuring a safe environment by playing in a fenced in yard or remaining on leash when in public spaces will create the most fun and positive experience for everyone!
“Amanda was really great with our giant dog Moose. She was early to meet us and took Moose out for a long walk and found a nice stream for him to cool down. Her communication was quick, and she was very professional. Thank you for helping us out on short notice.”
About: Hi There, I’m Jess and I’m so excited to meet you and your dog! I’ve loved animals as long as I can remember--when I was a kid I wanted to be a zookeeper! Though that never happened, I have my own personal zoo (three dogs) and I followed my path to become a pet sitter! I have a true passion for animals, any animal that comes into my care becomes a part of my family! I have so much love to give, and will able to give your furry friend the same kind of care that you do! As a pet owner myself, I know that your pet deserves the best! I became a house sitter because I know how hard it is to leave both your pets and your home behind! I’m great at caring for pets that are under a lot of stress--they miss their family after all! I pride myself on my ability to calm animals under stress. I’m also great with my human clients, I’m very personable and a great listener. If you have a direction--I’ll follow it! It’s important to me that I’m providing the same care that you would for your furry family member. Plus, I send lots of photos and videos so you can see how much fun we’re having! I don’t know what I would do without my furry kids--and I know you know just how I feel. Please reach out to me if you have any questions, I can’t wait to hear from you! I’m currently working part time, so I will have plenty of time with your fur babies! I’m not always available on weekends, but with enough time to plan, I am usually able to care for your animals. Your fur babies safety is a priority and you can trust they are in excellent hands while you are away. You’ll get plenty of photos and messages from me through out the day for you to keep and enjoy!
About: I am a former veterinary technician and Veterinary Hospital manager. I have an abiding love for animals and the outdoors. I will take care of your fur baby as I would my own. ❤ I'm currently working part-time, and I'm looking to making pet care a more central part of my life, so I will have plenty of time to give the attention to your kiddo(s) that they deserve. ❤ I have three super friendly dogs of my own, but I wouldn't be bringing them for dog walks or pet sitting unless socialization is something that is desirable. ❤

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I can remember in my family and recently got my very own Golden Ausiedoodle who just turned 1 year old! I have a dog of my own so pet care is part of my daily lifestyle, From playing fetch in the yard to taking my girl for walks on the beach! I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly and well trained 1 year old golden Ausiedoodle to keep your dog very thoroughly entertained!
About: Having been a dog lover since childhood, I’ve always had dog sitting gigs for a side hustle. I also managed a professional boarding kennel for 5 years where I learned to care for pets of all sizes, personalities and needs. The great outdoors are my life, and I have grown into a passion hunting dogs, and have spent the last 4 years training my Labrador retriever. I have two dogs of my own, West, my four year old trusty hunting black Labrador, and Tilly a nine year old German Shepherd mix. I’m mostly available on weekends (Friday-Sunday), but depending on your dog’s daily needs, I can be flexible. I live in Oak Creek, but work in Steamboat Springs at a very dog friendly environment. I ensure your pet gets the basic care they need, plus extra love, photos, and time outside. I am flexible on whether you want me to stay in your home, or in mine, again depending on the specific pet’s needs and location.
“Hadley was wonderful with my older pup. She sent photos of their walks together and noted my dogs quirky behaviors. I will definitely use her again if I come back into town.”
“Suzanne was a whole new level of wonderful! She made sure we were comfortable and gave us awesome updates throughout the stay. She took our girl on hikes and walks and made sure she was loved and taken care of. I am pretty sure our pup thought SHE was at the resort! Next time we're in Steamboat Suzanne will be our absolute go-to! :) Thank you so much Suzanne!!”
“Chad was so incredible to our dog. He really let her become part of the family. He gave her delicious food, let her sleep with the family in the bed, took her on plenty of walks, sent a ton of updates. She was in heat and he handled the diapers and her need for love so well. I felt so assured that she was having a really good time, and when we got back to her she wasn’t anxious at all. This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had on Rover. I can’t recommend him enough. He was super flexible and accommodating and overall, a really good person who gave our girl so much love and comfort.”
About: I grew up with 3 dogs and my father is a veterinarian so I have been taking care of dogs since I was a kid. Throughout high school and college I house sat often for family friends and my own family’s dogs. I now have my own dog who I love more than anything. I am a very active person who loves to bring my dog along on adventures and would be excited to add your dog to the fun:) I work part time as a nanny which is very flexible and allows me to swing home to check on doggies if i’m working for longer than the dog can be alone. I have experience watching doggies in my own home and in others home. l live next to great walking trails and a great park for fetch. My doggie would love to keep yours company but she can also be in her kennel if that makes any owners more comfortable.

About: I don’t just “watch” dogs I connect with them. Every pup I care for is treated like family, with personalized attention based on their unique personality, energy, and needs. Whether it's playing fetch until their tail can’t wag any faster, sticking to a strict medication schedule, or just being a calm presence for anxious dogs I show up with heart, patience, and intuition. I keep pet parents updated with honest, real time updates and photos, so they always feel confident and connected. My space (or theirs) is always safe, clean, and full of love. This isn’t just a side gig for me it’s what I genuinely love doing. I work just three days a week (Tuesday-Thursday) and I’m off every weekend, which means I’m fully available to give your dog the love, time, and attention they deserve when most people are scrambling for coverage. Need help during the week? No problem! I can absolutely care for your dog on weekdays too just know that I’m at work from 6 AM to 5 PM. If your pup is comfortable hanging out during the day (with all day access to food, water, and a safe space), I’m more than happy to help. I make sure they’re well cared for before and after work with walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s weekends, overnight stays, or occasional weekday help I’m here to make life easier for you and happier for your pup. When your dog stays with me, they’ll have their own private room to relax and feel completely at ease. They can snooze on a comfy queen sized bed or I can set up their own dog bed whatever makes them feel most at home. My own dogs sleeps in my bed, so your pup will have their own peaceful space to unwind and rest. Plus, we have a huge backyard that’s perfect for playtime, potty breaks, and getting out all that extra energy. Whether your pup loves to run, sniff, or just sunbathe, they’ll have plenty of safe space to enjoy the outdoors. Your dog isn’t just staying over they’re joining a calm, loving home designed with their comfort in mind
About: I have experience in all things dog walking, training, crate training, bath time, feeding time, medicine distribution, playtime, socializing, house training, dog birthday parties, and specialized attention. I prioritize dogs health and walkies so I always get up in the cold mornings, feed them on time, take good walks, and take them to the park for socialization. I base my schedule around letting them out and giving them enough playtime to reduce boredom. My house is clear of any hazards and all cleaning supplies are put away. Since it’s not my pet, we will not be going off leash on walks.
About: * Been taking care of friend's loved one for decades * Ample, daily play-time is provided * Live near Rita Valentine so short or long hikes very accessible * My rules are your rules - whatever is needed to make things seamless for you and your pet so they are comfortable while you are away * I work from home and have a very flexible schedule * I'm able to walk dogs very regularly on whatever schedule they normally have * I live up the street from Yampa Core Trail and right by Rita Valentine so ample options to get them out and exercising * 15-45 minutes hikes are very easy to accommodate * My husband is retired so he is also home. He is a SUCKER for an offered belly so often his choosing to work out or doing any work around the house is ignored in favor of rubbing bellies! * I'm in a very quiet and dog-friendly neighborhood. * I have a nice side-yard but it is not fenced in. Dogs are never let out on their own. * Dogs are allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed - I try to follow whatever is the "norm" for them * I have no problem taking dogs in my car to run errands (if they have separation issues) or to have variety at Spring Creek or other nearby walking areas. * For the senior loved ones: there is an enclosed flight of stairs to get into the house. Carrying pups up stairs is NOT an issue - I had an injured gal who was limping and I just picked her up to make it easier. (50-ish lbs)

I have extensive experience with horses and farm animals as well, through riding, competing, and training horses for most of my life.

If you have ANY questions at all about me or my services, feel free to reach out and I would love to get to know you and your furry friend!

About: I grew up with dogs and have been taking care of friends dogs ever since I can remember. In my community I am often the first person called when it comes down to finding a trustworthy pet sitter. In addition, I have spent the last 5 years working with/ and babysitting kids with severe cognitive and physical disabilities. As a full time student I spend a lot of my time doing school work but, like dogs, need to get out and run around. I get to spend my time outside, on walks, runs, and bikes in between classes and on the weekends. I live in an apartment with two other dog loving girls. I am more than happy to share my bed or floor with an interested pup. Although I don't have a yard, I live right across from a big soccer field and have access to the horse gulch trail system behind my apartment (which I frequently use). I am currently working as a plumber for my dad. I tend to have lots of leniency with work and can even bring a pup with me! My house is open to all cats and dogs and that includes the couch haha! I live outside of town in a house where dogs have lots of room to roam and even a pond! In my home the safety of all pets is very important :)
