“April and her family were wonderful to both of our dogs (Miko & Kobe)! She was communicative and sent daily updates with several photos, which was great! I can tell both dogs were treated well and received lots of love and snuggles. I would highly recommend April!”
“With heartfelt gratitude we can’t thank you enough for the service you provided to our Cali girl, making her feel at home and loved… we truly appreciate you and your family treating our Senior girl with “exceptional care we are truly blessed to have found you 🙏🏼 Thank you!!!!”
“Judy was great and very accommodating, she sent updates daily which was very nice! Unfortunately Buster was not well behaved as the stay progressed. I’m sure he will not be welcome back.”
“Traci was the best dog sitter we have ever had through Rover. We have used quite a few people in the past but none of them compared to Traci’s love and compassion for our dogs. I was really nervous to leave my dogs but she put my mind at ease. She checked in with me at least twice a day. Sent lots of pictures. She loved our dogs as if they were hers. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She truly has a special way with animals. Your dogs will be well taken care of in her care. She’s super flexible as well.”
“Highly highly recommend! We’ve used other boarding places & while they were great, nothing compared to Karissa’s. We felt relieved & excited for our pup to enjoy Karissa’s sanctuary while we were gone for over a week. Karissa is accommodating (for the pups & us owners), nurturing, and & trustworthy. Mira came back tired, and while excited to see us, we’re quite positive she’s looking forward to the next time she gets to go back😜”
“Breanne was extremely attentive to both our young and older dogs. She sent multiple pictures throughout their stay that showcased how comfortable they were with the environment. Highly recommend!”
“Nutmeg has such a great time here! They were so kind and caring and sent regular updates and pictures! I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my dog with them. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Sylvia was a great fit for Luna! She adjusted quickly, and came home very happy. So I know Sylvia cared for Luna as her ow. Her home is a welcome environment, great backyard for Luna to explore, and she’s open to any special needs that Luna might have. We have rebooked with Sylvia for another stay for Luna. I feel very grateful to have found Sylvia on Rover!”
“Leah went above and beyond! She is so sweet and treated my baby like her own. She was very acocmadating and took great care of Jake! When I saw him he was very happy and I could tell he had the best time. Can’t wait to use Leah again as our number one pet sitter.”
“Corey has a great setup for taking care of dogs. My big and my little dog came back happy and healthy. I said it was fine for my dogs to be watched with other dogs. My German Shepherd looked like she had a great time playing with new friends. My little dog came back extra clean, with a slight trim I had approved. Corey is probably the best sitter we have hired over the past 8 years. We usually hire someone once a year.”
“Niki, Josh, and Zeus are amazing sitters! We got daily pics of our pup and they took care of him like he was their own. We were so happy to see that he settled in so nicely and were 100% sure that’s because they are amazing pet parents! Thank you!!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Mihaela! Her communication was fantastic from start to finish. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. Kaiser clearly had a blast with plenty of walks and play time. He was happy and well-rested when we picked him up. We will definitely be booking again!”
“My dog stayed with their family for 10 days. That’s the longest I have left him with anyone. Each day they gave him the same loving care they give with own. I was given updates and pictures throughout the stay. I came home to a very well taken care of and happy dog.”
“Breanna was absolutely amazing! Our dog Cali is like our child, so finding someone we could truly trust meant everything to us—and Breanna exceeded all expectations. She sent tons of pictures and videos, which kept us updated and gave us peace of mind throughout the trip. Our older boys got so excited every time a new update came through. We truly can’t say enough good things. Thank you times 10!”
“Our dog has suchhhh an amazing time with Karen and Nash! Nash & Sadie had an amazing time playing the whole time and it was great knowing she was safe and having fun. Karen sent updates every day and it relieved so much stress from us knowing she was in great hands. Will definitely be staying with you again, thanks so much Karen!!!”
“This is our third and longest booking with Joan! We were out of the country for almost a week, it was nice to know the pups were in good hands. Joan continues to be communicative, flexible, and so caring with our doggies. We are very thankful and will continue to request bookings :)”
“Dylan was awesome. Sent us photos of Jack letting us know he was OK the entire time. Took good care of him and we already have booked two more stays in the near future with him. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, looking after pets for friends and family for multiple days at a time. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy caring for them. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and lots of love! I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. I’ll also follow your pup’s usual feeding, walking, and sleep routine so they feel comfortable and right at home!
“I would definitely recommend Mildred for your dog sitting needs. She took in my pup cookie 🍪 for a few days, cookie absolutely enjoyed herself so much she almost didn't want to leave with me lol. This was my first time using the app / dog sitter in general. But whatever worries I had Mildred reassured me with videos and photos of my pups day to day activities. She's hands down more than a dog sitter she treated cookie like family and that's important. For your sitting needs I recommend Mrs. Mildred, trust me on this yiu won't be disappointed 😉”

About: I’ve had cats throughout my life and know that every cat has their own unique personality, routine, and preferences. Some want constant attention and playtime, while others are happiest having someone quietly keep them company from a comfortable distance. I’m a caring and dependable cat sitter who will treat your cat like my own. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medication if needed, playtime, grooming, and plenty of attention and affection—whatever helps your cat feel comfortable and keeps their normal routine. I understand that cats can be sensitive to changes in their environment, which is why I’m careful to follow your instructions and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll also send you updates and photos during visits so you can relax knowing your kitty is happy and well cared for. Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, affectionate, or a little bit of everything, I’d love to take care of them while you’re away! 🐱❤️

“Remy went above and beyond in caring for our cat while we were gone for 2 weeks on vacation. We will definitely book with her again in the future! Her communication was great and we heard from her daily along with photos.”

My background in elite athletics means I have the stamina for long, engaging walks, active exercise, and rigorous attention to routine and safety. Whether your dog needs high energy cardio or a calm, structured stroll around the neighborhood, I prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness every step of the way.

Safety and accountability are my highest priorities. During walks or house visits, your dog will always be securely on leash, closely monitored, and kept safe from external hazards. I pay close attention to heat, hydration, and body language to ensure your pet stays comfortable throughout our time together. I follow all home entry instructions meticulously and provide regular photo updates after every walk so you know your pet is safe, secure, and well cared for.
“I'm so glad we found Avery to watch our cats. We have three cats that have such different personalities and she was able to connect with each one in a way that made them feel comfortable in their own way. It was a relief going out of town and knowing they were very well taken care of 🙂 would definitely recommend her to anyone and everyone needing someone to watch their fur babies!”
“We had Kevin check in on our cats while we were on vacation. He responded quickly to messages, came for the drop in visits when expected, and provided pictures each time. He was also proactive about reaching out in advance of the booking. It was great to have someone reliable to check in on our babies!”
About: I’ve always had a special love for cats! I’ve had three cats throughout my life, including my cat Ivy, who I got in high school and who is truly my pride and joy (in my profile pic). I’m known for how much I adore her!!! Having cats of my own has taught me how unique every cat’s personality, routine, and needs can be. I’m patient, attentive, and love giving cats plenty of affection, playtime, and companionship while also respecting their space when they need it. I’d treat your cat like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!
“we absolutely love them! We have four cats who have different diets and one does inhaler for asthma. This is the second time we have used them to watch our cats. It’s so nice to be able to leave and know that our cats are well cared for while we are away. The litter boxes are always clean. The water’s are refreshed. The house is clean. No stone is left unturned”
“Tyffany was fantastic. She responded immediately to my kitty sitter need after the Rover sitter I hired failed to make the two scheduled meet & greets. My sweet & timid cat actually warmed up to Tyffany immediately and Tyffany provided excellent care. I would definitely hire Tyffany again.”
“Carissa helped ease my mind when we left our senior kitty and his two younger siblings for almost 2 weeks. Definitely the longest time I’ve left them. I enjoyed the pics and updates during her visits and how friendly she was. Her experience as a vet tech made me very confident in my decision to go with Carissa.”
“Issac was AMAZING! He knew my cat was my child and even helped me when I cried when I left my cat for him to watch. He texted me everyday with photos keeping me updated on my baby. He is so patient and kind I highly recommend booking with him!!! I’d give him a 100 stars definitely using him again”

“Last minute daycare for our little guy and Felichia was so accommodating! He must have had a great visit because he slept on the way home. Just a great experience overall!”
“Sylvia watched my dog for an all day fun playdate while I went into work and she was amazing! My dog, Pepper, had so much fun playing with her friendly French bulldog. Sylvia sent lots of photos and updates, which made my day knowing Pepper was having fun. There was no doubt he was in good hands. Sylvia is a true dog lover! I will 100% contact Sylvia for all my future dog sitting needs.”
About: I bring real, hands-on experience with all types of dogs—from high-energy and stubborn personalities to protective guardian breeds. I understand that every dog is different, and I adjust my care to match their needs, not the other way around. As a dog owner myself, I treat every pet like family, providing structure, patience, and plenty of love. My own two dogs are friendly and well-socialized, making my home a safe and positive environment for dogs who enjoy companionship. Being a stay-at-home mom allows me to be present with your pet all day. My routine already includes caring for my own dogs, so adding yours means more walks, playtime, and attention—not less. Your pet will be part of a calm, loving home where they’re included in daily life, not just ‘checked on. Your pet will be welcomed into my home like part of the family. I’m home full-time, so they won’t be left alone for long periods. My days naturally include walks, playtime, and caring for my own dogs, so your pet will get plenty of exercise, structure, and affection. My two friendly, well-socialized dogs also provide great companionship for dogs who enjoy being around others.
“Breanne and her family are amazing! Our pup loves playing with her dogs, and they are excited to see each other when we drop off. The daily pictures are also a treat to receive.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and absolutely understand that dogs are not just pets but they are active members of a family. I will treat all dogs in my care as if they were my own. I have gone through professional training with my of my current dogs and I am happy to share any tips or tricks or implement any active trainings your dog is going through to support you. I have also been grooming my own Bichon now for a few years. I am happy to help assist in any dog grooming needs within my scope of practice. I currently work from home. I do have two children who I have to pick up from school/care in the afternoons but I am flexible in my days/evenings to accommodate your needs. I have a fully fenced in yard. I have one very friendly dog but would require a meet and greet before bringing a new dog into my home for care for the safety of all the dogs. I am happy to feed or crate any dog as well as provide exercise both in the form of walks or play based off the needs of the dog.
About: Our house is consistent with regular routines. My husband and I both work from home so that our dogs and guest dogs have care around the clock. I work full time from home. My office opens to the 5’ fenced dog yard with trees, dogs, grass, patio, and water. Playtime is before 9, around midday, and before dark. Mealtime is around 7-7:30 am/pm. Typically my dogs and guest dogs stay with me during non-sleeping hours. They have human and canine companionship. Guest dogs can be crated, given dog beds, or space on human beds as requested.
“Barkley loves going to Niki’s! He gets so excited every time. I know he has a great time because he’s always so pooped when he comes home, which is rare for him! Highly recommend!”
“Almost didn't write this review, because I wanted to keep Hannah for myself. I am so thankful she had a short notice availability. Hannah and her dog Nova took great care of my giant 75lb Doberman puppy. Hannah sent me photos and is so quick to respond to my messages. She texted me updates when my kids were curious about how our pup was doing. Hannah has a kind and calming energy, I immediately felt comfortable leaving my four legged baby with her. I will definitely be requesting her services again. Thank you so much Hannah!”
“Sharon is really amazing, so nice and welcoming and takes good care of dogs. Cacao our puppy had a great time with her. He played in her ranch with her lovely dogs and saw the horses I could tell when I picked him up that he really had a good time. By the time we got home he was tired from all the playing and slept right away. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I am the owner and operator of BusyBody Farm and BusyBody homeschool agricultural enrichment program. I raise farm animals and produce. We also teach agriculture, animal husbandry, and horticulture to homeschool families. I have three friendly great Pyrenees and one cattle healer. My dogs are my partners throughout every day of work and play. I love all animals and I believe I have a deep connection with Dogs. My farm sits on 11 fully fenced acres. I also offer a 1/4 acre fenced backyard with shade for dogs who need a smaller setting. I currently manage and operate our Organic Farm in Elizabeth where we grow heritage meat and produce. I spend my day taking care of livestock along side my four livestock guardian/cattle healers. I love to walk and hike and I love animals. My schedule is flexible. I’m available for play dates, dog sitting and walks. I can come and go from the farm to help your furry friend get out for some exercise and company. I have 11 acres of fully fenced property in Elizabeth. Just 10 minutes east of Parker. The dogs have three of those acres to run freely on. If your pup needs a more confined area to roam, I do offer a 1/4 acre fenced backyard with shade and toys.
“Traci was super friendly and great with communication! Bonus points for a flexible last minute booking. Her space was perfect for Nio. He really loved getting to spend time outside and play with the other dog.”
“I was a little nervous about leaving Ingrid since she’s so “needy” and has never been with anyone besides the groomer and that’s only for a couple of hours. But as soon as I met Leah I was instantly at ease. I could tell she loves the fur babies she takes care of. And as I suspected, she and her husband did a lot of holding Ingrid. I wasn’t concerned about Max - he loves everybody and gets along fine with other dogs. I was impressed with Leah’s documentation of the pees/poops/water breaks and food and taking pictures. That takes a lot of “watching”. We live in Texas and were in Castlerock for our son’s wedding. I’m sure we will be visiting again, and if we need a dog sitter, Leah will be the first one we call. Thank You so much Leah. 😊”
About: I have worked with animals my whole life, I am currently a dog groomer, and also had many years in the dog daycare industry. I have also personally trained my service dog. I love meeting all types of dogs and working with them. I am a dog groomer with open availability. I take on in between jobs during my free time. My partner is always with me to give me a helping hand when needed. I look at each dog and evaluate them to see what would work best. No dog is the same, so not everything is universal. But I love to provide the pups (or cats) with all the love and necessities they need.
“Kelsey took amazing care of Chloe. I am grateful for her flexibility and willingness to accommodate my work hours. Chloe didn’t want to come home! Thank you again!”
“We had a great experience! They sent lots of photos and kept us up to date throughout the day. Very welcoming and patient with our pups as they were very shy. Their dogs are very sweet and friendly! Definitely recommend!”

“Remy was fantastic with our boy. Gave him twice daily walks and tired him out. We appreciate you so much, Remy. Loved the twice daily pics of our Charlie. Definitely will use her again!”
“Alex was great with Cookie today. She wasn’t intimidated by Cookie’s size and strength and got her to settle down quickly. As they made their way home from their 30-minute walk, Cookie walked quietly by Alex’s side. Our girl is one “tough Cookie,” but Alex’s skill with dogs is evident.”

I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. When walking your pet, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure each walk is tailored to your dog or cat’s needs, whether they enjoy a relaxing stroll, extra exercise, or plenty of time to explore and sniff. I always pay close attention to my surroundings, use proper leash safety, and follow any instructions you provide about your pet’s routine or behavior. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and will treat your pet like my own. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and positive walking experience that keeps your pet happy, healthy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind.
“Cami was incredible during our trip abroad. It was such a relief to see my boy warm up more and more each walk and to know he was getting cared for and loved. She’s so good at leaving post walk pictures and reviews and they were a highlight while we were away from home. Thank you thank you thank you!”
About: I am a lover of animals and love having the companionship. I am reliable, communicative, and energetic! I am organized and responsible, love walking and playing with pets. I have had cats for 20+ years, and am comfortable with dogs, as well, and have experience with caring for friends dogs in my home. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, safe and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I work at an elementary school and have school breaks available to be home full time. On school days, I am able to leave on my lunch break to provide pets with breaks outside. I love to walk and exercise, and take daily walks through my neighborhood with many trails. I keep a very scheduled routine in my home for myself and my children, and would do the same providing care to your pets, whether at my home or yours! I have a large home, with a fenced back yard that backs up to open space. I have 3 cats that are friendly and roam my home, but can also be set up with their own space in my room if necessary while caring for your pets.
About: I have taken care of all my family’s pets since I was 11 - dogs and cats alike, including senior dogs and cats, and puppies. My family currently has two cats and two dogs and I love every second I get with them and would love to show your pets that same love. I recently moved to Colorado from California to start a PA program which does not start until August. I am looking to gain some extra money and taking care of pets is something I love to do. I am living in an apartment with my husband and our 2 year old domestic, medium hair tuxedo cat. He is a mostly indoor cat, but I do take him on walks occasionally. For my family’s dogs, they tend to stay inside but we have a doggy door that gives them easy access to the backyard, where they can relax, play, or use the bathroom.
About: I have had Golden Retrievers since I could walk and am chosen by many to care for their dogs and homes while they escape Colorado. If you live in the Pinery, I’m sure you’ve seen me out walking and playing with dogs! I am home from college for the summer and am available to give your furry family member some peace, comfort, and company while you travel or work. I am available to care for your dogs in your home and will exercise them and play with them according to the owners instructions. Your dogs will be loved and cared for.

“April and her family were wonderful to both of our dogs (Miko & Kobe)! She was communicative and sent daily updates with several photos, which was great! I can tell both dogs were treated well and received lots of love and snuggles. I would highly recommend April!”
“Judy was great and very accommodating, she sent updates daily which was very nice! Unfortunately Buster was not well behaved as the stay progressed. I’m sure he will not be welcome back.”
“Traci was the best dog sitter we have ever had through Rover. We have used quite a few people in the past but none of them compared to Traci’s love and compassion for our dogs. I was really nervous to leave my dogs but she put my mind at ease. She checked in with me at least twice a day. Sent lots of pictures. She loved our dogs as if they were hers. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her. She truly has a special way with animals. Your dogs will be well taken care of in her care. She’s super flexible as well.”
“Highly highly recommend! We’ve used other boarding places & while they were great, nothing compared to Karissa’s. We felt relieved & excited for our pup to enjoy Karissa’s sanctuary while we were gone for over a week. Karissa is accommodating (for the pups & us owners), nurturing, and & trustworthy. Mira came back tired, and while excited to see us, we’re quite positive she’s looking forward to the next time she gets to go back😜”
“Breanne was extremely attentive to both our young and older dogs. She sent multiple pictures throughout their stay that showcased how comfortable they were with the environment. Highly recommend!”
“Nutmeg has such a great time here! They were so kind and caring and sent regular updates and pictures! I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my dog with them. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Leah went above and beyond! She is so sweet and treated my baby like her own. She was very acocmadating and took great care of Jake! When I saw him he was very happy and I could tell he had the best time. Can’t wait to use Leah again as our number one pet sitter.”
“Corey has a great setup for taking care of dogs. My big and my little dog came back happy and healthy. I said it was fine for my dogs to be watched with other dogs. My German Shepherd looked like she had a great time playing with new friends. My little dog came back extra clean, with a slight trim I had approved. Corey is probably the best sitter we have hired over the past 8 years. We usually hire someone once a year.”
“Niki, Josh, and Zeus are amazing sitters! We got daily pics of our pup and they took care of him like he was their own. We were so happy to see that he settled in so nicely and were 100% sure that’s because they are amazing pet parents! Thank you!!”
“We couldn't have asked for a better sitter than Mihaela! Her communication was fantastic from start to finish. We loved receiving the daily updates and photos—it really put our minds at ease while we were away. Kaiser clearly had a blast with plenty of walks and play time. He was happy and well-rested when we picked him up. We will definitely be booking again!”
“My dog stayed with their family for 10 days. That’s the longest I have left him with anyone. Each day they gave him the same loving care they give with own. I was given updates and pictures throughout the stay. I came home to a very well taken care of and happy dog.”
“Breanna was absolutely amazing! Our dog Cali is like our child, so finding someone we could truly trust meant everything to us—and Breanna exceeded all expectations. She sent tons of pictures and videos, which kept us updated and gave us peace of mind throughout the trip. Our older boys got so excited every time a new update came through. We truly can’t say enough good things. Thank you times 10!”
“Our dog has suchhhh an amazing time with Karen and Nash! Nash & Sadie had an amazing time playing the whole time and it was great knowing she was safe and having fun. Karen sent updates every day and it relieved so much stress from us knowing she was in great hands. Will definitely be staying with you again, thanks so much Karen!!!”
“This is our third and longest booking with Joan! We were out of the country for almost a week, it was nice to know the pups were in good hands. Joan continues to be communicative, flexible, and so caring with our doggies. We are very thankful and will continue to request bookings :)”
“Dylan was awesome. Sent us photos of Jack letting us know he was OK the entire time. Took good care of him and we already have booked two more stays in the near future with him. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, looking after pets for friends and family for multiple days at a time. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy caring for them. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and lots of love! I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. I’ll also follow your pup’s usual feeding, walking, and sleep routine so they feel comfortable and right at home!
“I would definitely recommend Mildred for your dog sitting needs. She took in my pup cookie 🍪 for a few days, cookie absolutely enjoyed herself so much she almost didn't want to leave with me lol. This was my first time using the app / dog sitter in general. But whatever worries I had Mildred reassured me with videos and photos of my pups day to day activities. She's hands down more than a dog sitter she treated cookie like family and that's important. For your sitting needs I recommend Mrs. Mildred, trust me on this yiu won't be disappointed 😉”
“Cathrine, her partner Lou, and dog Willow, were a wonderful family that we left Leela with. We were able to leave for an extended holiday with Leela in great care! They walked her on their path daily and spoiled her with lots of treats. We are so thankful we met them!”
