“This was the second time Mila stayed with Julia and it was a great experience. This was over a period of 2 weeks and we never felt worried about how Mila was doing. Julia was communicative and made sure to always provide updates and photos throughout her stay. She asked for permission before watching other dogs and handled it with ease. We will be using Julia again in the future if the need arises! Thanks again, Julia!”
“Rebecca was wonderful with our energetic Boston Terrier!! He had recently lost his canine sister and was clingy, but Becky was so good to him! She updated me daily with pics/videos and kept me posted on everything. I would highly recommend her and plan to rebook with her.”
“We had a business trip, and Marci was able to accomodate our dog Wilsea on short notice for the week we were gone. She took excellent care of her, and we enjoyed the photo updates. We highly recommend Marci!”
“Daniel was friendly, helpful, flexible, and communicated with us promptly & sent lots of pics. Our dog had a great stay & must have felt safe, happy, and loved because he ate well. (Our pup will go off his feed when feeling out of sorts). Plenty of room for fun play inside the house and in the fenced backyard. We will definitely use Daniel for our Rover next time we are in the area.”
“This worked out really great with Mindy! She sent a lot of pictures and was really accommodating to my two dogs. She even helped out after one of them got scared by giving him a weighted blanket. She was excellent and I highly recommend!”
“Catherine took great care of my three dogs, including frequent walks and picture updates. She sent them home with a goodie bag of treats and a card. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley watched my dog Raven for five days and I'm more than happy with the treatment. Raven came back thoroughly tired from all the attention and adventures, she didn't miss me at all. Ashley took pictures and sent me updates which I loved to see. I'll definitely reach out about having Raven stay again in the future. Thank you!”
“Janie was an excellent sitter for our Baxter. She was communicative and sent photos with updates. When Baxter came home, he seemed so happy and content. Highly recommend Janie!”
“Erin did great with Ringo took him on lots of walks and sent lots of videos It was a stormy weekend and Ringo does not like the storms and Erin got him through the storms without any problems”
“I am very particular about who watches my dog and Dorothy exceeded my expectations. She is very thoughtful and shows a true love of dogs. She is a top-notch dog sitter and I recommend her highly.”
“This is the first time Beans has had to stay with someone, and I cant’t say enough about how comfortable Judy mad me feel about it. She took exceptional care of him and sent me a nightly update with a photo or video. She provided real peace of mind!”
“Kasse is amazing with Huk and cares for him as she does for her own dogs. We trust her to take perfect care of him. We have never had a single issue while he was in her care. He comes home safe and tired after every visit. Huk loves playing with her pups and any others who are there. She sends daily updates with pictures and replies quickly to any messages. Her communication is clear and informative. Kasse increases our quality of life by giving Huk a safe place to play with other dogs off-leash and be loved on while we get the chance to have a dog-free afternoon or a few days. If you're looking for someone to care for your fur-baby, Kasse is the one to choose!”
“My dog is super sweet but has some separation anxiety when we board her so it’s not always easy to find a sitter I can trust. Jennifer checked in with us updating us on how my dog was doing and made me feel comfortable being away for the week. Thanks!”
“Thank you Ricky for taking in our dog Booker while we hiked the perimeter trail at Ouray. Ricky was quick to respond to all my inquiries and a pleasure to work with. I could tell Booker enjoyed his stay due to the never ending side lean Ricky got when we picked our pup up. I highly recommend Ricky's services and will be a repeat customer (if available) next time we're in Ouray. Thank you much Ricky!”
“Paulette and Charlie were the perfect pet parents to my Aussie, Ollie, while I was away. They were affectionate and loving with Ollie, and sent pictures of him daily while Ollie was in their care. Their own dog Molly, is a sweetheart, and the perfect play companion out in their huge, spacious backyard. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in the good hands of Paulette and Charlie!”
“Linda took the best care of my elderly Havapoo for a week. I could tell my dog enjoyed herself and bonded with Linda’s family. Linda has a great yard for the dogs to play in. They’re all so happy! I would 100% book with Linda again.”
“This is the second time I've booked with Lindsay. I tried to not take it personally when Luna nearly knocked me over getting out of the car and ran up to Lindsay's door. I guess she enjoyed staying there last time. :-) Linsday was great and very understanding when I had car issues and needed to change the pick up time. Will definitely book with her again!”

“Jordan was absolutely incredible with our babies and they loved her as well! She sent multiple photos and updates with every visit and we felt very safe leaving our home and them in her hands. She was wonderful and patient with our dog, who can be quite anxious, and even dedicated additional time before our trip to make sure that he was comfortable with her. We would absolutely recommend her and thank you again for everything!”
“Melanie is amazing!! She is so caring and attentive. All my girls loved her including my very shy kitty. I can't recommend her enough! Looking forward to using her services again. If you're needing a sitter, look no further because you have found one of the best!! Thank you, Melanie. You are so appreciated!!”
“This was the second time we've had Debra R. take care of our cat. It will not be the last time. Our cat is afraid of her own shadow. She interacts with a very select group of folks. Debra is one of those special people. She takes great care of our cat, and our cat returns the favor by interacting with Debra. Great care, great follow up, great photos. Thank you!”
“Catherine was excellent! We love her and so does Kitty. We told Catherine she'd likely never see Kitty when she did her drop in visits for feeding, but Kitty greeted her every day, a sign that Kitty really liked her! Thanks again for everything.”
“We greatly appreciated Robin's attentive care of our two cats, one of which can be quite a handful. She made sure both of them got the love and attention they needed, for a first-time and fairly last minute booking. We could not be more grateful for her flexibility!”
“We had Whitney watch our two cats for a second time and once again we came home to the happiest cats! We will definitely continue to use Whitney’s services in the future! It’s so nice to find someone that you know takes good care of your animals when you’re gone :)”
“Shelby took great care of our cat who needs some extra attention, including daily medication and has a bit of separation anxiety. We appreciated the photos she sent and comments about how he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend Shelby and look forward to booking her again in the future.”
About: As a career animal welfare professional, I'm ready to bring my decades of experience in animal care, veterinary care and animal handling to you and your home to ensure you have total peace of mind and your pets are cared for and safe while you're away. My entire professional career has been in the animal welfare field. I've worked as a cruelty investigator in both major metropolitan as well as rural agricultural regions. I've worked on farm animal sanctuaries as well as in city shelters. I'm still very involved in animal rescue through disaster response as well as large scale animal cruelty case deployments. Currently, I work for/co-founded an organization which provides low-cost veterinary care services to underserved areas in the region. As someone who utilizes Rover heavily for pet sitting services while traveling for work, I know just how important it is to have a service like this available as well as what a trusting, reliable sitter can do for peace of mind while out of town and away from you pets. I currently work from home (when not traveling for work) which allows me to devote full days to pet care while sitting nearby in my home office. I have a large, fully fenced yard. Your dogs will be able to spend as much, or as little, time outside as they desire. I have two resident dogs who are very welcoming of all four-legged (and two-legged) visitors and will be more than happy to share all their favorite toys and most comfortable spots on the couch.
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors, friends, and family’s cats since I was a teen! I’ve been around young and old kitties of all types. I make sure they get the attention they need through playing and pets. I’m more than happy to stop by and give your cat some love while you’re away!
“Cecily did great with Binx! It was the longest I’ve ever been away from the little guy, and she sat and played with him to keep him company while I was away. Highly recommended her to watch your fur babies!”
“Kasse is always on time with giving all the love to my furry alligator. She is very professional, while still having fun with a job that should be fun. Second time using her services and will be returning”
“Lacie is the best I’m so lucky to have found her to take care of Chloe when I’m away - she is very communicative and genuinely cares and enjoys playing with Chlo. She gives me so much peace of mind. Thank you!!”
“Angels was great with Coco, our dog and Reese’s and Dancer, our cats. Coco is anxious with new people, and Angela won her over. It was great using Rover and now we know that we can plan trips without worrying about who will watch our pets. Thank you Angela and River!”

Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Dan was able to accommodate a daycare session last minute when we had a medical emergency. He cared for our pup like his own, sent a bunch of pictures spread throughout the day and even a video. This really helped us to know that our pup was having a fun time and being well cared for. We are grateful for Dan and his pups for the wonderful day they gave our pup while we were dealing with serious health issues. If you’ve come across Dan while looking for someone to care for your dog, look no further. If he has space on your schedule, just press request.”
“Left our dog Bear with Taylor for the day. Taylor was very patient with Bear and let him explore frely. She has a very dog friendly house and yard. Bear had a good day with new doggy and human friends. We will gladly use Taylor in the future for Bear. Thank you Taylor.”
“Marci (and family) was an incredible sitter for our dog, Tucker. She was always welcoming, happy to us, and Tucker knew he’d have a good time with her. We truly appreciate the quick responsiveness to our messages and flexibility in our schedules matching so well. Marci is a great choice for your pet!”
“Eleshia was everything we could hope for and more! She took great care of our small dog, was flexible on timing, and offered up stellar recommendations for what to do in the area. 10 stars if I could give them!”
“Phebe was awesome! Very communicative and professional. She spoke our dog, Sage’s, love language- treats😊 and sent a bunch of photos which we love! She also helped Sage relax with lavender oil on her nose as she is an anxious dog. Such a sweet thing to do! Appreciate the love and care, thank you!”
“Our first time using Rover….. and we loved Catherine! She was great with communication leading up to the visit and was prompt with picking up and delivering our Olive. She’s had some other small dogs that Olive played with throughout the day, and she was delivered back happy and exhausted. We are tent camping and she took her self to bed way before the night was over! We will definitely be using Catherine again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Ashley was very flexible when my schedule changed. This was a last minute booking and she included Kohana without hesitation! My baby had a wonderful day with Ashley and loved all the attention!”
“We felt at ease leaving our 1 year old pup with Ricky and she had a great time! When we came to pick her up at the end of the day she was very relaxed and didn’t seem to be in any rush to leave. Would have Ricky watch her again if we visit Ouray again!”
“Linda and Javi are amazing Rover hosts. Very friendly and easy to work with. Their place is clean and has plenty of space for the dogs to play. They treated mine like one of their own. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a stay at home mom with the time to care for your pup as well as mine. Our kids and dog love to play with other dogs. We often take walks in the neighborhood and play fetch in the backyard. I'd be happy to have your dog join us! There is a good amount of lounging on the couch as well! My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate your pups needs. My kids are in middle and high school so we work around the school district schedule. I have a fenced yard in a great neighborhood. My pup will keep your pup entertained. I can crate your dog if needed during the day or at night.
“Julia is AMAZING!!! We have boarded our dogs with her, as well as dropped them off for doggy daycare. She has a clean, secure yard and we never worried about our dogs getting out. She communicates frequently and sends photos of the pups playing. Our dog Echo loves Julia's dog Abby and gets so excited to see her! I also appreciate that Julia does a meet and greet with any new animal to make sure everyone is comfortable! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Ashley was amazing and very accommodating. She woke up very early for drop off which I appreciated. Her dogs were very friendly and welcoming with my pup. Highly recommend”

My passion is caring for dogs, and I am a very compassionate and dependable person who will take exceptional care of your pets as if they were my own. I have always been a strong advocate for dogs and proudly support the ASPCA. Your dogs will be safe, loved, and well cared for with me. I work full-time from home, so I will always be here to look after your baby doggies. They will never be left alone and will receive constant love, attention, and care throughout the day. I will take exceptional care of your dogs and treat them like family in a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment for every pet in my care. Since I work full-time from home, your pets will always have supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. I make sure they stay on their regular feeding, walking, potty, and medication schedules while also giving them plenty of love, playtime, and affection. In my home, pets are treated like family and are never left alone for long periods of time. I keep a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel relaxed and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect the owner’s routines and instructions to make sure their pets feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I provide updates, photos, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention so owners can feel confident that their pets are in excellent hands.
“Paulette and Charlie were wonderful hosts and were very attentive. They have plenty of room for dogs to run in their very large backyard. Our Bode and their dog Molly hit it off instantly and played well together. Bode had a great time. We’re already planning our next trip(s) to the western slope. We’ll definitely be booking with Paulette and Charlie again!”
About: I was raised on a ranch in Southern Colorado and have been caring for animals on a daily basis for most of my life! I have turned my passion for animals into my profession and I currently work at a pet store caring for animals day in and day out. I am currently in the process of obtaining my dog training CDPT-KA certification and have a ton of experience with puppies and dogs that need some work! I am trained in safe use of training tools such as e-collars and prong collars, and always use positive reinforcement in addition to any tools. I have experience with everything from farm animals to exotic fish, and everything in between. I will happily care for reptiles (including snakes!), birds, fish and livestock and of course I adore cats and dogs! I am trained in medication administration and have experience in identifying conditions that potentially need to be seen by a vet. Everything I do is for the good of the animals and I will always treat each and every one as if it was my own. I work part-time in the mornings and am available every day after 12pm, and available all day on my days off! I will always do my best to fit appropriate visits into my schedule. While I don't care for animals in my home, I will always treat your home as if it were my own. I am respectable and will always clean up after myself and the animals in my care - even the grossest of animal messes are not an obstacle for me. I am comfortable crating dogs, or making sure there are no potential dangers for a free roam dog to get into trouble with. Fresh water and food will always be provided during my drop-in visits (in alignment with feeding schedules, of course) and I will always make sure they potty on walks and during drop-ins, even if I have to stay a little extra to make sure 😊
“Katie is AWESOME!! Her property is outside of town and off the beaten path - which makes it an ideal spot for dogs to spread out and explore. Katie is excellent at communication before, during and after your booking. She offers fantastic pics of your pet’s adventures during their stay and she truly cares for your dogs like they are her own. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”

“One of the best dog sitters we've had the pleasure of working with! Melanie was on the ball: never a food time missed or a walk uncounted. She sent us great pictures of the dogs and was punctual, communicated beautifully and made us feel like our dogs were in great hands. We appreciate her professionalism every step of the way. We would not hesitate to ask her again to watch our dogs, and feel honored she gave us her time and expertise. Thank you so much, Melanie!!”
About: I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have three mixed breed dogs that were all rescued from animal shelters who love to play and get attention. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish and other small animals. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. I can come to your home or your pets can come to my home for some love and attention. I love all kinds of animals whether big or small and can't wait to meet yours. I am an energetic, trustworthy and reliable individual with a flexible schedule and look forward to meeting your pets! Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have. I work remotely which allows me to have some flexibility to help with your pet care needs. I am available early morning and late night. I like to have detailed instructions so I know exactly what to expect and what is needed. I am very trust worthy and dependable to help you.
About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.
About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I’ve been providing personal pet care for the past two years. I get along with dogs of all ages and breeds. I can keep up with any energy level your fur baby has. I currently only have my schedule on Rover filling my time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs and give them the playtime and/or walks they need daily. I will follow and maintain daily medication and feeding schedules of any complexity. I will follow all instructions given to ensure your furry friend gets the care they need. I just need to know what they can and can’t do and will make sure they are on their best behavior while I care for them.
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life, it's not just something I do, it's who I am. I grew up with three dogs and currently share my home with four cats and a bearded dragon, so I'm completely comfortable with a wide variety of pets, including reptiles. If your pet is a little unconventional, don't worry, I've got you covered. I have hands-on experience caring for multiple pets at once and know how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and needs under one roof. I'm especially great with puppies and young animals, I understand they need extra patience, attention, and consistency, and I genuinely enjoy that part of the job. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, a cozy place to stay, or just a caring face to check in on them, I treat every animal like my own. I haven't met a pet I didn't love, and I look forward to proving that to you and yours. Pet care is always at the top of my priority list! I am currently available any day of the week at any time, so your pet's routine never has to be disrupted. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets are never left unattended for long periods and are given a calm, loving environment to settle into. I already live with four cats, so your kitty will be welcomed into a space that is fully pet-friendly and set up with their needs in mind. For visits at your home, I follow your instructions carefully: feeding schedules, medications, preferred routines, and any quirks that make your pet feel at ease. I believe consistency is key to keeping pets calm when their owners are away, so I stick to whatever routine works best for them. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, and every pet in my care like my own.
About: With years of experience in pet care, I have a deep passion for animals. I have worked with a variety of breeds. Your furry friends will be treated like my own, giving you a peace of mind while you're gone. I am currently a college student and this is my side hustle. I am mostly free any day of the week and I can work around my schedule for times. I have a fenced in yard and a large living room to roam around in. No other pets live with me, your pet will be safe in my home.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals because they make me happy! What else makes me happy is helping other people out to take care of there fur babies :) I have experience of watching dogs and cats. I am very active and love spending time with animals I work full time! From 7:30 am to 5pm I am free in the evenings and weekends! On Mondays I work half days. I get done at 12pm It is me and my corgi and my apartment. I do have a patio it is unfenced. My corgi is a runner. I take him on walks, dog park or my parents back yard
About: I've been taking care of pets for most of my life. I worked at a doggie daycare & boarding business for a couple of years. I'm now going out on my own and would love to take care of your fur babies while you're out. I've been around all breeds and sizes and understand their many different traits and personalities. I love playtime and walking. It is as much fun for me as it is for them. I've administered meds and worked specifically with dogs that needed specialized medical attention. Communication is important to me, as it is to you, so please let me know what you expect. No detail is too small. I can provide updates and photos if you request it; otherwise, I will not take up any of your time while you're away unless a concern arises. I love snuggles and look forward to making your fur babies feel as comfortable and happy as possible. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life! I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping a good routine. I love being around animals and easily fit pet care into my day. I try to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I follow instructions carefully, give lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also send updates so owners know their pets are doing great!
About: I would be home with them 24/7; my mom is a dog groomer so I know a lot about dogs! I think it would be super fun to look after your pup! We'll sit and watch movies together or go outside and play fetch or tug-o-war! I would love to look after your pet today and be the best dog sitter you could ever wish for.

Completely private and blocked off from any traffic or neighbors.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have
About: Hi! I am a lifelong animal lover who loves to spend my free time with furbabies! I grew up around pets and started pet sitting for family and friends when I was young! Now, I share my home with a cat and a sweet Boxer/Bulldog mix, so I’m very familiar with the different personalities and needs of both dogs and cats! I love being outside and going on adventures, especially with energetic pups—but I’m just as happy cuddling up on the couch for some relaxed downtime. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or just chill out and get belly rubs, I’m all about making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away! 🫶🏻✨️ 🐾 House-sitting: I require a meet and greet for this one (not required if you choose to schedule with me again!) so you are able to show me all the bells and whistles! 🐾 I am looking forward to caring for your furry family member like they’re my own! 🐾🐕🐶🐱🐈🐾 I am currently working on personal projects, so I am able to provide care for your pet at almost any time, including day-of walks/check ins!! I generally require 1-week in advance for House-sitting, but I am flexible and just a message away! 🐶🐱 I have provided care to newborn kittens, litters of puppies, rescue/shelter pets and seniors! So I come prepared with some knowledge! 🚫 I will never put any pet in any unsafe situation, even at the expense of my own safety! 💊 I am able to perform CPR and administer medications if needed. 🏥 I will always prioritize health and safety, emergency vet visits are never off of the table! 🤗 And most importantly, I will love and care for your pet as if it was my own. With safe and nurturing care, lots of play, snuggles and treats! 🐱🐶
About: I'm a single mother to a 8 1/2 year old boy & we absolutely love having dogs in home with us! We currently have no dogs of our own, since losing our pitbull in 2018. Losing her was difficult, as she was with us through the most trying times- after my son's father passed away suddenly. She helped care for us & I'm looking for some furry little loves to share our home and time with to help fill her absence, as well as those fur parents who need loving sitters! I'm currently working part-time, and would love to have a couple fur babies to spend time with at home with my son in our down time. We are home literally every night, and I have a flexible schedule. I have one older kitty who lives in my room. He's completely closed off from all dogs and has never had any altercations, as his presence typically goes undetected. We have many dogs who are our regulars that are not cat friendly & have never seen him, as we keep my bedroom door closed. He also sleeps behind closed closet doors every night, so the there is no night mischief. We try to take two walks a day when dogs are with us, weather permitting! We take dogs to walk in grassy parks when the pavement is too hot. We live in a townhouse that has a fenced back yard that we share with two other rentals; we're a triplex. There is only one other dog in the community that is dog/human/kid friendly - although my neighbor and I typically peek out before letting the dogs loose so they have the yard to themselves. My back yard faces an open field on the edge of town, providing an incredibly safe, tucked away, and quiet neighborhood. My son is a loving child who displays love and sympathy for dogs. He loves to help, play, feed, give treats, and help walk them when the dog & him are appropriately matched. We've been operating for 4 years now and have taken care of homes, bunnies, chickens, dogs, goats, cats, and are willing to help with other house sitting duties such as picking up packages, mail, and watering gardens & plants. Thanks for considering us! *Please be aware of personal cancelation policy.* My schedule is flexible and I'm around a lot, thankfully. I usually run out for 4 hours on Mondays and Thursdays for my part time job. We abide by all owner rules! We have space for crates, and try to make it as easy going as possible! We have extra toys, treats, bowls, beds & belly rubs!
“We really appreciated working with Angela. She worked with us on short notice. Angela is prompt, always pleasant, and she communicated with our dog Bruce specifically as though he was her client. A real professional who showed our dog loving kindness. Really perfect for Bruce and us!! We will definitely work with Angela again!”
About: I have been taking care of pups since I was a little girl! I used to watch my neighbor's dog, Dasha and that spread to other friends and acquaintances. I have wanted to get back into house sitting/dog sitting for a while now and am excited to meet all the furry friends! I work a full-time job and am also in school online through Arizona State University. In my free time, I don't do much so I want to help others in my community with what I can! To ensure the safety of all animals I don't accept pet-sitting in my home because it is a smaller living space, and I don't have a backyard for them to play in. Making sure the pets are comfortable while following all client's rules is my number one priority.

“This was the second time Mila stayed with Julia and it was a great experience. This was over a period of 2 weeks and we never felt worried about how Mila was doing. Julia was communicative and made sure to always provide updates and photos throughout her stay. She asked for permission before watching other dogs and handled it with ease. We will be using Julia again in the future if the need arises! Thanks again, Julia!”
“We had a business trip, and Marci was able to accomodate our dog Wilsea on short notice for the week we were gone. She took excellent care of her, and we enjoyed the photo updates. We highly recommend Marci!”
“Daniel was friendly, helpful, flexible, and communicated with us promptly & sent lots of pics. Our dog had a great stay & must have felt safe, happy, and loved because he ate well. (Our pup will go off his feed when feeling out of sorts). Plenty of room for fun play inside the house and in the fenced backyard. We will definitely use Daniel for our Rover next time we are in the area.”
“This worked out really great with Mindy! She sent a lot of pictures and was really accommodating to my two dogs. She even helped out after one of them got scared by giving him a weighted blanket. She was excellent and I highly recommend!”
“Catherine took great care of my three dogs, including frequent walks and picture updates. She sent them home with a goodie bag of treats and a card. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley watched my dog Raven for five days and I'm more than happy with the treatment. Raven came back thoroughly tired from all the attention and adventures, she didn't miss me at all. Ashley took pictures and sent me updates which I loved to see. I'll definitely reach out about having Raven stay again in the future. Thank you!”
“Lori did a great job looking after Clancy and Tucker. She checked in and sent us photos & videos and the dogs looked like they were definitely settled into her home. They especially loved her beautiful green lawn! I would definitely use her again.”
“Erin did great with Ringo took him on lots of walks and sent lots of videos It was a stormy weekend and Ringo does not like the storms and Erin got him through the storms without any problems”
“I am very particular about who watches my dog and Dorothy exceeded my expectations. She is very thoughtful and shows a true love of dogs. She is a top-notch dog sitter and I recommend her highly.”
“Kasse is amazing with Huk and cares for him as she does for her own dogs. We trust her to take perfect care of him. We have never had a single issue while he was in her care. He comes home safe and tired after every visit. Huk loves playing with her pups and any others who are there. She sends daily updates with pictures and replies quickly to any messages. Her communication is clear and informative. Kasse increases our quality of life by giving Huk a safe place to play with other dogs off-leash and be loved on while we get the chance to have a dog-free afternoon or a few days. If you're looking for someone to care for your fur-baby, Kasse is the one to choose!”
“My dog is super sweet but has some separation anxiety when we board her so it’s not always easy to find a sitter I can trust. Jennifer checked in with us updating us on how my dog was doing and made me feel comfortable being away for the week. Thanks!”
“Thank you Ricky for taking in our dog Booker while we hiked the perimeter trail at Ouray. Ricky was quick to respond to all my inquiries and a pleasure to work with. I could tell Booker enjoyed his stay due to the never ending side lean Ricky got when we picked our pup up. I highly recommend Ricky's services and will be a repeat customer (if available) next time we're in Ouray. Thank you much Ricky!”
“Paulette and Charlie were the perfect pet parents to my Aussie, Ollie, while I was away. They were affectionate and loving with Ollie, and sent pictures of him daily while Ollie was in their care. Their own dog Molly, is a sweetheart, and the perfect play companion out in their huge, spacious backyard. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in the good hands of Paulette and Charlie!”
“Linda took the best care of my elderly Havapoo for a week. I could tell my dog enjoyed herself and bonded with Linda’s family. Linda has a great yard for the dogs to play in. They’re all so happy! I would 100% book with Linda again.”
“This is the second time I've booked with Lindsay. I tried to not take it personally when Luna nearly knocked me over getting out of the car and ran up to Lindsay's door. I guess she enjoyed staying there last time. :-) Linsday was great and very understanding when I had car issues and needed to change the pick up time. Will definitely book with her again!”
