“Kyle and Desiree were absolutely wonderful with my cat Pretzel while I went on a road trip. From the very beginning, having a nice welcome sign and a beautiful home/open and clean space for her to roam I knew I had contacted the right people. They were so attentive to her needs and were very proactive and responsive in providing great care. They sent me pictures throughout my trip and made everything so much less stressful than I’ve experienced in the past with pet sitting and cats! I cannot say enough good things about our experience and would leave 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend Kyle & Desiree for anyone looking for amazing pet sitters! I will be booking again soon. Thank you both so much!”

“Debb and Ky provided tons of pictures and updates about my dog while I was away. This was the first time using a Rover sitter and I was a little nervous about it. My dog came home so tired from playing with the other dogs. He seemed happy and well cared for. I would 100% use them again to watch him.”
“So lucky we found Cassandra on Rover! It’s hard to leave your puppies behind when you travel and she made the transition so easy on us. Cassandra sent several pics and videos daily and it was apparent how happy they were. She truly treated our pups like her own ❤️ She is very kind hearted and genuine about her love for dogs! She administered my pups meds and walked them a couple or more times daily. Overall, Cassandra was so attentive and I would not hesitate recommending her and would love to book my pups stays with her again!”
“Kristina was fantastic with our pup, who can be a little reserved with new people. She was patient & kind, and provided lots of pics / updates while we were gone. Kristina has a beautiful space, great yard with amazing views & 2 adorable dogs for Sadie to play with. It made our weekend away easier knowing Sadie was in good hands 😊”
“Meghan and Hakon are amazing and loved on our pups so much! It was Kinzie’s first stay away and they made her feel so at ease and comfortable in their home. Lincoln is a pro and had a blast.

“Melisa did a great job with our kitty over the 4th of July weekend. She left our house clean and followed instructions well. Great communicator. Would happily work with her again in the future!”
“This was my first experience using Rover, and to be honest, I was initially worried. After asking a couple of pet sitters, I believe I made the best decision in choosing Amaya. I had the pleasure of having Amaya take care of my beloved cat, Baloo, and I couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and dedication she provided. Throughout her visits, Amaya went above and beyond to ensure Baloo's well-being. She consistently updated me with detailed messages, keeping me informed about Baloo's meals, water refreshments, litter box cleaning, and even the extra effort to engage him in play and brushing. What truly stood out was Amaya's patience and understanding of Baloo's shy nature. She took the time to let him come out and get used to her presence on his own terms, resulting in heartwarming progress. The updates she provided, such as Baloo coming out for pets and brushing, truly reflect her commitment to creating a comfortable and trusting environment for him. Amaya demonstrated not only professionalism but also genuine care and affection towards Baloo. Her efforts to make each visit a positive experience for him were evident, and I'm grateful for the progress she achieved in getting him to warm up. I highly recommend Amaya for her exceptional pet sitting services. Baloo and I are fortunate to have found someone so dedicated and caring. Thank you, Amaya, for your outstanding service!”
“Aj is absolutely wonderful with our two kitties and our home! Communication is quick, home visits are reliable, photos and thorough descriptions of the drop-ins are always provided, and most of all... both our cats (even our shy guy) are comfortable around Aj and get enough love/play that we get to come home to a happy house each time.”
“Fantastic cat sitter, we feel confident that our kitties are in excellent hands with Kristy when we need to be away from our home & cats. She always goes above & beyond & is so thoughtful & helpful, can not recommend enough! :-)”
“Matt was a fantastic pet sitter for our cats, Zuko and Winnie. We always had very clear communication, he sent us great pictures every day, and he took great care of our cats and our house. Our cats loved him.”
About: I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. Years of experience in watching family and friends pets. I cater to you I work Mon-Fri, but do come home at lunch for an hour if I’m boarding at my house. I have weekends off and open availability I have a fenced yard and have friendly playful fur babies too. I will accommodate to medication or dietary needs, we can crate if needed.
“Emily was the perfect sitter for our two cats. We couldn't be happier, she met us early to get the key and even brought our packages in while we were gone. I definitely look forward to re-booking Emily in the future.”
“Amber goes above and beyond, and I can depend on her to be there when I need her. She is very knowledgeable and has a lot of expertise with dogs and went above and beyond and gave me great value today when she bathed both of my dogs. One of them is a puppy and quite the shyster. She is a golden doodle and I know they are not easy to keep groomed. Thanks, Amber and I will see you next time!”
About: I have always been around animals, never in my life have I not had a dog. Growing up I volunteered at the local animal shelter walking, training and taking care of the animals there. Once I got my own car I started sitting for friends and family. As a massage therapist I took animal massage courses in school, I am very comfortable handling animals. I love being outdoors and active, I am very excited about being a dog walker. In my home we are very relaxed, allowing our pets lots of room and freedoms to play inside and outside in the fenced yard as well as lounge on the couches and pet beds. We don't use crates or keep animals separated unless instructed by their people, we like for the dogs to be together and play with eachother! That being said, we do have spare rooms for pets that have social anxieties. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pups! When I work I am home by noon to give potty breaks and lots of love and attention! My back yard is a nice fenced yard for safe play time and potty breaks. I have 2 dogs to keep your furbaby company during their stay. Crates are available if preferred for alone time or night time.
About: Animals have always been my passion, and I have dedicated both my professional career and my ongoing education to ensuring they live their best lives. Having spent two years working in doggy daycare, I have had the privilege of supporting dogs of all ages and temperaments through their daily routines. I find genuine joy in providing the specific type of attention each dog needs to feel secure and happy, from managing puppy "zoomies" to honoring the slower, comfortable pace of a senior companion. By choosing to work with me, you are welcoming a dedicated, trained, and compassionate advocate into your pet's life who will ensure they feel right at home while you are away. I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, and I am committed to making your pet’s time with me a positive and stress-free experience. I understand that every pet family has a unique rhythm, and my primary goal is to maintain that consistency while you are away. Because pet care is my full-time passion, I offer the flexibility required to adapt to your specific needs—whether your dog thrives on a structured routine of midday walks or requires the comfort of a consistent presence during overnight house-sitting. I pride myself on being highly adaptable to your schedule, ensuring your furry friend receives attentive, professional supervision and companionship that mirrors the care they are used to at home. I am committed to making your time away stress-free by providing reliable, dedicated, and high-quality care whenever you need it. In my home, my dogs are treated like family, just as all dogs deserve. They receive love and attention, and I cherish the quality time we spend together. Whenever I was dog sitting, I made sure the dog felt comfortable with both me and its surroundings. I also ensured that all their needs were met and that they were thriving. If the dog enjoys walks, they will be given one daily.
“Very professional and communicative. Send us pictures, let us know if she was going to be late. Really enjoyed having her work with us. My cat doesn't like strangers usually, but was very cooperative with Apple. Would recommend her anytime and will use her again in the future.”
About: I've been living with cats all my life. There's always been at least one cat in my household, from when I was a little kid when my mom had eight of em, to now, with Winslow, my precious little night sky. I've always gotten along great with the kitties I've lived with, and they've usually adored me in turn.
About: I have 4 cats currently, and they live a spoiled life. I also volunteered at the Longmont Humane Society in the cat area for 2 years, and regularly care for people's cats through my pet sitting business.
About: I have been caring for dogs for over 20 years. I have had many different kinds and breeds and have loved spending time with every single one! My husband and I currently live on .5 acres with our best friends, and our three dogs. I think every dog is unique and should be encouraged to be their best selves! I love making home-made healthy treats for all our doggos! I have cared for all ages as well and love me a senior dog. I have always treated my dogs like members of the family and I am dedicated to making sure they have the best life possible! I am currently working part time and will be available all day during the days to play, watch and spend time with all my charges (dogs :)) We have a fully fenced in yard! We have three friendly dogs who absolutely love making new friends. The dogs are always my first priority when it comes to safety.
“Kennedy was absolutely amazing. When she came to meet the dogs she asked all the important questions, did not feel rushed at all. All the animals loved her (even the cats came out) and I loved the peace of mind knowing she was there. We will definitely be using her services again”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter, we were pretty nervous at first but Ashley quickly calmed our nerves. We're very grateful for her, and would 100% recommend her! She had a spare room where the cats stayed during their visit, a huge plus. It was nice knowing they had their own space to explore and relax. We will definitely be seeing Ashley again:)”

“Ben is awesome! Super responsible, easy to communicate with and has extensive dog training experience. All of which means that we 100% trust him to take care of our dog and also provide enriching activities - leaving us with a tired and v happy dog at the end of the day!”
“Trixie has so much fun going to see Amelia and playing with her 2 dogs. I get pictures throughout the day, and Trixie is so happy and also worn out from playing when I pick her up. Great sitter!”
“Kaylynn and her husband were the kindest and most welcoming couple ever. I have truly never seen my pup walk into a home so comfortably as if it was his own. It was like he knew they were the best!!! I got the best photos of him and was so surprised to see my independent little old man snuggling and smiling! He is always shy and very chill, so to see him smile and be so comfortable, warmed our hearts. Without a doubt they did a fantastic job just keeping him company. They were easy to communicate with, had a nice clean and safe environment, and were amazing at listening/following instructions. I wish I lived here permanently so I could hire them every single time. They have been the best by far yet. A million stars for them ⭐️”

“I cannot be more pleased! What a wonderful experience for Millie and me! My pup was in great hands with Kyle & Desiree from the very beginning. I had frequent pics and updates ensuring Millie was loved and cared for. And I nice little touch with a photo and kind note when I unpacked her bag. WOW….very special😊. We hope to see you again soon. Thank you for helping me have some mom time and for peace of mind while my Millie was in your care.”
“Joanne did an amazing job taking care of our little Roscoe. They went on many adventures and he had the best time. I would definitely recommend booking Joanne!”
About: I have had pets my entire life in one way or another. While currently we do not have any pets, due to the passing of 3 dogs within a year due to age, we miss having animals around and in our home. I currently am working full time from home so have plenty of time to play/walk any animals. I have 3 children who are lovers of animals and love spoiling them. I offer boarding 24/7 due to my working from home that allows me that flexibility. Me and my children live in a townhome that does not have a yard, but there is plenty of room in the neighborhood for walks around. I can crate animals if preferred as well.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for a very long time. I’m an animal lover. I am dependable, reliable and trustworthy and looking forward to taking care of your fur babies. I am a stay at home mom for the last 13 years. My kids are in school and wanting to take care of pets full time. I have a doggy door that goes out to my fenced in yard and My whole family will give lots of love to your pet
“Helped us when I was in a pinch to find a sitter for an early morning stay and took amazing care of Drax I couldn’t have asked for more ! Felt relieved knowing that he was in good hands while I was away”
“Pronk had a fabulous time at Marion's. Pronk has separation anxiety and can be weird about being left behind, but she played with Marion's dog Summit *all day* and was all tuckered out when we picked her up :) :) :) Thank you!!!”
“Oskar had a great time at doggy daycare. He was well cared for and came home happy! Amanda responded quick whenever I texted and shared some cute pics of my puppy during his stay. She’s very sweet and clearly loves animals and takes great care of them. I would definitely recommend her to watch you pup.”
About: My goal is to give you true peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your dog is safe and well cared for. I provide a loving and fun home environment where dogs are treated like part of the family. I have a large fenced yard that’s perfect for playing outside, soaking up the sun, and getting plenty of fresh air. There's also a park nearby for regular walks. Briscoe, my Jack Russell mix, is always excited to make new friends to play tug-of-war with him or chase squirrels in the yard. Inside, there’s always time to unwind with cuddles on the couch after a fun day of activity. Because my work schedule is flexible, dogs are rarely left home alone. And if I do step out, it’s never for long stretches. Your pup will get consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout their stay. My work schedule is flexible and my husband works from home 3 days a week. Meaning someone is almost always home to keep the dogs company. As an anxious pet parent, I know firsthand how nerve-wracking it can feel to be separated from your dog, so providing peace of mind is always my top priority. I follow each pet’s routine closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure they get plenty of supervised play, exercise, and affection so their time away from you feels safe, comfortable, and fun.

“AJ was professional and friendly and took time to meet my new rescue dog before starting service. AJ took extra care of my dog, providing lots of care for him and communicating with photos and updates after their visit. I would highly recommend AJ!”
“Alissa did an AMAZING job with our pup Luna. She can be quite a handful but when we came home our girl was taking a long nap as she had 2 great walks around the lake. Alissa also accommodated to our needs of using codes to get into our apartment and unit along with booking a second walk last minute. :)”
“We are so lucky to have found Alexandria as our daily dog sitter/walker. Mabel loved her immediately and is excited to see her for their every day walks. Even if the weather doesn’t suit a walk, they spend the whole time playing or Mabel gets spoiled with pets and cuddles 🩶 I love the daily reports in the Rover cards that’s are detailed with multiple cute pictures as well. I would give Alexandria my highest recommendation!”
About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.
About: I have been watching after animals since I was at a really young age and have learned so much. I have watched all ages and all different breeds that have taught me that every dog is different and has different needs. I’ve trained all of my pups myself and have experienced taking care of senior animals as well! I’m currently working full time but I make my own schedule so I am very flexible on what days I work and match that with when I can be available to watch your fur babies. I am free almost every weekend. I will care for every single pet as I do my own and make sure that get everything they need. I will give them all the loving while your away!

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with dogs and cats of my own, plus experience caring for many animals. I’ll treat your pets like family! ! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dogs and cats. I love spending my time feeding, walking, playing with, and giving animals plenty of attention and affection. I care for every pet like my own by providing fresh food and water, walks, playtime, cuddles, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention.
About: I don’t have pets of my own, but I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from other family members. I also work as a caregiver, so I’ve had clients with pets that needed help taking care of them. I have experience with large to medium dogs, but mostly small dogs from puppyhood and up. And if you have a pet that has a strict diet you’ll be happy to know I am immune to their deceptions. I do have some experience with dog sitting overnight and I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, working with both cats and dogs. I currently work part-time so I can work around my schedule and check on pets after a shift. I’m free two days straight twice during the week so I can stay overnight if needed. I’d just have to discuss scheduling details with you so everything goes smoothly. The first thing I’ll do is look for any possible ways your dog may get out and secure them so the won’t be able to get out. I’d also try to double secure a leash in the event of one clasp breaking, the other will keep your pet secure.
About: Hi! My name is Amanda! I am a Registered Veterinary Technician, and making sure pets are happy and healthy is my number one passion! I have been working in the veterinary field for 20+ years including some years in emergency and specialty medicine. I began pet sitting many years ago before college, I love taking care of pets on a regular basis and getting to know their favorite things and places to go. I always go above and beyond when I take care of your pet and home while you are away and always make sure to keep you updated with pictures and text or written notes about each stay or visit so you can know how your pet is doing! I have a vast amount of experience with medications, orthopedic care, senior pet care, pets with neurological disorders, post-surgical care, and so much more. I am upfront and honest about my schedule in advance so that you know what to expect. I am working as an emergency technician currently and my hours can vary. With planning, I can ensure I’m available to help out where I can! I routinely check your property for any damage to fences, open gates, or dangerous debris. On walks I make sure to have a well fitted harness or collar (harnesses are preferred) to prevent your baby from slipping loose in the event they get startled or spooked.
About: Hello, my name is May, and I use any pronouns. I grew up taking care of animals, and I have wanted to care, protect, treat, and defend them since I could breathe. I am a certified dog trainer and I have multiple years of professional animal care experience outside of Rover. My interests are medicine, welfare, conservation, education, and ecology. My skills are grooming, lodging, daycare, training, education, and medical care. I have even worked with dogs from k9 and search & rescue teams. I have experience caring for dog, cat, fish, turtle, chicken, guinea pig, lizard, and bird. I am a cat mother and fingers crossed a dog mom someday soon as well. I can take care of your pets/companion animals from any age, breed, or size. You name it, and I will be there for them. Common questions: What if my companion animal has a medical condition? You let me know what they need, and I can accommodate them, even if they have behavioral struggles. I am patient, understanding, and gentle. What if they need medications? No need to worry. I can administer medications via subcutaneous, transdermal, oral pills or liquids, or even instramuscular per perscription instructions. What if they are high energy? High energy animals have high activity levels, which means they require frequent exercise and attention. To accomodate these needs, I can be available for multiple daily visits, walk them, and even curate a training plan for them. Your animal family members deserve the best. They deserve a professional. Not just someone who loves them, but one who you can trust to care for them in every capacity while you're away in safe hands. My skills: ✨️ Administering medications (via any route; Oral liquid or pill, IM, SQ, Transdermal) ✨️ Grooming/Bathing ✨️ Nail Trims ✨️ Meal Prep & Feeding ✨️ Animal Behavior ✨️ Training ✨️ Medical Care Rover is something I fit into my life whenever I can while I work & continue education. Some seasons are busier than others, and that's normal. Companion Care is already a part of my daily life, so these requests come as a breeze for me. I try to update my calender monthly, but if things don't look right, if your other sitter isn't available, or if you just need someone ASAP, you are always free to message me any time in the app. I try to reply as soon as possible, but sometimes I don't recieve notifications, so it may take me a few hours to reply in some instances. My calender should reflect my un-availability at minimum. If you have any questions, please message me as I am flexible and will accommodate where possible. Keeping things fear-free as much as possible is a priority for me. I like to keep things calm, relaxing, and easy or neutral. When I meet them for the first time during the meet & greet, I wait for them to come up to me. It's what they are comfortable with. This helps everyone establish trust and familiarity. My hope is that I can be your go to whenever you need companion care. Sometimes, I use miracle tones to help with fear, it is soothing and calming for all. Wildlife or "Pet" TV is a great option to add to their environment while you are away as it helps them feel less alone and gives them something to interact with. I like to stick to a rhythm or routine. As I enter their palace, I introduce myself gently by using a high pitched soft tone and a treat. Then, I let them sniff me out before they welcome me through. Any grievances? No siree! Next, I like to start feedings and medications after activities. But, I take it at their pace. Afterwards, I will take care of cleaning & notes before my departure from their palace. What I value during my bookings: 💖Trust/Familiarity (Completing the Meet&Greet & sticking to a rhythm or routine) 💖Safety (Keeping doors locked) 💖Compassion (Always stay kind, patient & considerate) 💖Comfort (Temperature in the home, toys, beds) 💖Respect (Their boundaries and space) 💖Quality care/Ensuring all goals are met (Fulfilling all visit requirements) I will not force anything.

“Kyle and Desiree were absolutely wonderful with my cat Pretzel while I went on a road trip. From the very beginning, having a nice welcome sign and a beautiful home/open and clean space for her to roam I knew I had contacted the right people. They were so attentive to her needs and were very proactive and responsive in providing great care. They sent me pictures throughout my trip and made everything so much less stressful than I’ve experienced in the past with pet sitting and cats! I cannot say enough good things about our experience and would leave 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend Kyle & Desiree for anyone looking for amazing pet sitters! I will be booking again soon. Thank you both so much!”

“Debb and Ky provided tons of pictures and updates about my dog while I was away. This was the first time using a Rover sitter and I was a little nervous about it. My dog came home so tired from playing with the other dogs. He seemed happy and well cared for. I would 100% use them again to watch him.”
“Kristina was fantastic with our pup, who can be a little reserved with new people. She was patient & kind, and provided lots of pics / updates while we were gone. Kristina has a beautiful space, great yard with amazing views & 2 adorable dogs for Sadie to play with. It made our weekend away easier knowing Sadie was in good hands 😊”

“Patricia was amazing with our 6 year old labradoodle, Boomer. She went above and beyond to send us multiple daily updates and photos while he was in her care. She cuddled him and treated Boomer like her own. We will definitely be a repeat client and are very happy we found a caring person to take care of our furry family memeber.”
“Brittany is a wonderful dog sitter! My Sonny is a senior Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he was treated like a king! Brittany took great care of Sonny and he looked so happy being with Wookie, Brittany's senior dog. She also sent me great photos while I was traveling so I could see what they were up to. I travel several times a year and I am so glad to find someone I can trust with my old man! I am already booking Brittany for my next adventure!”
“Alex and Jeff and their daughters were exceptional sitters for our pup, Gemma! We were happy knowing Gemma was getting full attention and play time over the holiday weekend. Alex and Jeff were attentive to Gemma’s schedule and habits and communicated well over the weekend. Our dog came home a very tired and happy dog! We’d be thrilled to bring Gemma back again for another stay in the future.”
