“Barbara is one of a kind! She is a secret that I don't want others to know about - we really like her that much. She is amazing to work with - sending updates every day and putting our minds at ease as we travel internationally. Milo was loved, walked and pampered during his stay with Barbara.”
“Jenn is a wonderful, caring sitter, who communicates often and sends photos to keep us involved in the day-to-day of our pets. We highly recommend her loving pet care.”
“Bean seemed to love her stay with Kristin and her family! She was treated like one of their own and we appreciated the photo updates of her weekend away in Conifer. We already booked Bean’s next stay while she was there this past weekend! Kristin and Brant have a large fenced in yard that is perfect for outdoor playtime, and Bean enjoyed resting in front of their fireplace after a long day of playing in the snow. Thanks again!”
“Luna loved her stay with Jen!! Jen has a very awesome large backyard which Luna loved; unfortunately a deer engaged her prey drive & she jumped the fence after it!!! Jen was very kind & let me know & Luna had to be on a lead if not monitored closely in the yard from then on - I completely understand Jen’s rule about no dogs that will jump the fence! Luna doesn’t read the rules all the time though 😳 Jen was very communicative & send me lots of pics & updates which I loved. If Luna wasn’t a jumper, she would absolutely love to go back!”
“Amy goes above and beyond when caring for our pup. She sends great updates throughout the stay and he always comes back healthy & happy. We love her and can’t recommend her enough!”
“This was our second stay with Nicole and Craig. Not only does their family provide love and care for our precious Shibas, but they are patient with their quirks and persistent food hunting! Thank you Nicole, Craig, and your boys for keeping Winnie and Rocky safe and loved while we are away!”
“Polly and her family were amazing!! I always felt that my dogs were safe and well taken care of. She extended their stay according to my needs which I really appreciated. She even sent me pics of my girls. I highly recommend her.”
“Brenda was wonderful with our golden retriever, Sadie. She gave us daily updates and went out of her way to make Sadie feel safe and loved. Sadie is scared of thunderstorms and Brenda made sure to comfort her during those days. We appreciated the extra attention!”
About: My childhood dream job was to become a zookeeper. I did everything I could to get close: volunteered at animal rescues, pet sat whenever possible, interned at a vet clinic. Plot twist: despite everything, I did not end up workin g at the zoo. Instead, I became the weirdo who'd rather hangout with the pets at house parties and I've never met a furry friend I didn't like, even the "challenging" one. I've got my own little family of fur babies: been a cat mom for the last 9 years. And last year, adopted a senior dog who is a dream wrapped in floof. I don't have formal training credentials, but I am obsessed with how to tend to our furry friends with attunement and compassion. I work from home which means your pet has company most of the day and I do my best to help them feel at home wherever they are. Pet care fits naturally into my WFH routine. I'm available/ flexible throughout the day, with good weekend availability as well. I have some fixed commitments that shift week to week, but I keep my calendar current and won't book what I can't fully show up for. My home is a quiet, nature-forward neighborhood in Evergreen, nestled in the kind of place where a walk around the block feels like a small adventure. No fenced yard, but since I work from home, we make up for it with frequent neighborhood walks throughout the day. For boarding, I tailor the setup to your pet. Some dogs get full run of the space. Others do better with a slower introduction and defined zones. I follow your lead and theirs. My own crew: one very social senior dog who has a particular gift for putting nervous dogs at ease, and two cats who are more selective. If your pet and my cats need space from each other, we have the rooms to make that work comfortably. I'll always ask about your pet's needs, quirks, and preferences before they arrive. The goal is for them to feel at home.
“Brandi took such great care of my dog. Communication was easy and I received a bunch of updates and photos. Everyone seemed to have a blast. I’m happy to have found someone as reliable and wonderful as Brandi to care for my dog in the future!”
“Steve and Susan were the ultimate dog sitters! We had planned to have one of our friends watch the dog and bring her to our wedding so she could be the ring bearer but when our plans fell through Steve and Susan saved the day! They took care of everything we asked and they were available to pick Lucy up from our event in Golden. Lucy was super comfortable there and they even sent some of pictures of Lucy having a great time!”
“Mozelle did a fantastic job caring for our two labradoodles! She is a wonderful communicator and sent pictures right away, which really eased this dog mom’s worries. We loved getting photo updates of playtime and mealtimes—it was clear the pups were happy and comfortable. Her home setup is perfect for dogs, with a cozy house, an enclosed porch, and a great backyard for safe outdoor play. We could tell our dogs felt right at home and had plenty of space to run and relax. We highly recommend Mozelle and will definitely book with her again!”
“Sue did not shy away from watching our young puppy for 10 days. She sent us updates, worked to help her socialize, and dealt with puppy potty training accidents. We are very grateful for the care she provided!”
“Lori was wonderful with our dogs Buddy and Kobe. She really took great care of them and they were very comfortable with her. She would send us pictures for is to show that they were happy and settling in well. We had a great vacation knowing they were being loved and well cared for. I would highly recommend her! Thank You Lori🤗”

“Chey was amazing from the start. She was quickly responsive to all my messages and questions. The meet & greet went well and Sunshine liked her from the very start! The photos she sent while we were gone calmed our nerves about using Rover for the first time. Thanks, Chey!”
“Madison did a great job caring for our shy little cat, SheShe. She is often timid with people, but Madison was kind and gentle with her, and even managed to coax her out for some petting. I highly recommend choosing Madison to care for your pets, she’s so kind and she loves cats (and dogs!). Will definitely use her again for pet visits.”
“Danielle was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our cats while we were away! She made sure to give all the details of how they were doing and sent lots of great pics. She was also easy to communicate with and answered any questions right away. We will be using Danielle as our go-to sitter in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Audrey is awesome! She took such great care of my elderly cat. Pictures and notes every day! I got home and she'd taken out trash, washed up, etc. - left my place spotless! Thank you so much, Audrey, for taking such wonderful care of Carli and my home! I highly recommend Audrey - she is reliable and trustworthy and will love on your pets!”
“I had an excellent experience with Elizabeth as my cat sitter. She went above and beyond to handle unexpected situations that arose during my time away, always remaining calm, resourceful, and committed to finding solutions. She kept me informed throughout, sent regular photos and videos, and made sure I knew how Rodi was doing. Most importantly, Rodi was clearly very well cared for and comfortable when I returned. I truly appreciated her dedication, flexibility, and willingness to go the extra mile rather than simply walking away when unexpected challenges came up. I highly recommend her and would absolutely trust her with Rodi again!”
“Anjani was amazing! She totally helped me out last minute when we had a cancelled sitter. We were in a funky old Airbnb with lots of quirks and she follow a ton of instructions perfectly. Communicated well, great photos and the dogs seemed really happy and tired when we got back. I would have no reservations or worries about booking for Anjani in the future !”
About: Friends, family, and clients trust me to take top notch care of their pets. I have experience pet sitting dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits, guinea pigs, and birds in both a live-in setting or just dropping by. I also grew up with multiple dogs and am looking to adopt a dog of my own in the near future. I currently am self-employed as an investor and freelancer with a wide open schedule and would love to help take care of your furry friends whenever is convenient to you and your family. I'm attentive and intuitive to your pet's needs and am perfectly comfortable relaxing and giving them space, giving them some snuggles, or taking them out for a high-energy adventure. I'm an avid hiker and guarantee I'll be able to keep up with your animal's energy. While house-sitting, just let me know what responsibilities you'd like me to handle, and I'll do so with enthusiasm and care.
About: I cared for my own beloved cat Buddy for 17 years giving me first hand experience with every stage of a cat’s life. From active adult years to the unique needs of a senior cat. I learned the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding that every cat has their own personality and comfort level. I am comfortable caring for cats with different temperaments, including shy, independent, and senior cats. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, providing companionship on the cat’s terms, and paying attention to changes in behavior appetite and well being. As a sitter my goal is to help cats feel safe, comfortable and cared for while giving their owners peace of mind. I treat every cat as if it were my own and provide regular updates so you can relax while you’re away.
About: I have often babysat my friends and families cats. In earning their trust, I have dropped in on a few cats from those references. I have always been mindful of their personalities, schedules and habits. This makes me a good choice for taking care of cats and kittens.
About: Personalized Dog Boarding & One-on-One Care 🐕 One Dog—or One Household—at a Time 🐾 I’ve raised and cared for animals my entire life—from two wonderful Staffordshire Bull Terriers to cats and even a Scarlet Macaw. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. That’s why I keep my boarding intentionally small. I care for just one dog at a time, unless the dogs are from the same household. This means your pup gets my full attention in a calm home environment, without off-leash interaction with unfamiliar dogs. What Your Dog Can Expect 🐕 3–4 walks per day, tailored to their energy level and routine 🏡 A calm, comfortable home environment 👀 Close, attentive supervision throughout their stay 🥾 Local walks or valley hikes upon request ❤️ Personalized care based on your dog’s personality, habits, and needs My goal is simple: to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. Before Booking We’ll start with a quick conversation about your dog’s temperament, routine, exercise needs, and anything else that will help me provide the best care. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule a meet & greet so your pup can meet me, explore the space, and get comfortable before their stay. Rates Rates are tailored to your dog’s individual needs, routine, and level of care. For repeat clients, we can establish a consistent rate that works comfortably for both of us. Every dog is different. Every stay is personalized. Dedicated Full-Time Dog Care When your dog stays with me, they’re never just left alone. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, and I provide around-the-clock supervision. Other than a brief trip for essentials, your pup has my full attention day and night. Because every dog has different needs, rates may vary. Some pups require more time, energy, or structure, and in those cases the rate is adjusted to reflect the additional supervision or management needed to keep them safe and comfortable. This ensures every dog receives the right level of care — and gives you the confidence that your furry friend is being looked after as if they were my own. Safe & Secure Environment My home has a fully fenced backyard, built and maintained with safety in mind. After raising two strong alpha dogs here for 17 years, I made sure the fencing is secure and reliable. Dogs always get supervised time outside — I never just leave them unattended in the yard.
“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”
“Billie just stayed at our house for 18 days to watch our two cats (one senior and one teenager) & she is WONDERFUL! We had excellent communication leading up to the stay, regular feedback and pictures while we were gone, and we returned to a spotless house and two very happy cats. Billie is excellent at what she does for pets and we will absolutely use her again.”
“Yana has been a wonderful sitter to our cat Albus while we were away for the weekend; she gave Albus plenty of petting and play time, and gave us plenty of photo updates as well. Definitely will use her service again and highly recommend to anyone looking.”

“Emily was awesome! Super quick to respond, has the sweetest pup, and was flexible with my schedule for pickup/dropoffs! She sent updates with photos and I could tell my dog was very comfortable with her 😊 I loved knowing my pup was getting all the attention she needs when i had a busy day so I’ll definitely book with Emily again!”
About: At the heart of my business is a simple philosophy: your dog isn’t just a pet on a schedule; they are family. While many sitters offer a standard walk around the block, I focus on creating a comforting, structured "home away from home" experience that respects your dog's unique personality and rhythm. Here is what truly sets my care apart: Specialized Senior Care: I have a deep softness for our older companions. I am highly experienced in managing gentle mobility assistance, strict medication schedules, and recognizing the subtle signs of discomfort or anxiety in senior dogs. I ensure their days are peaceful, safe, and filled with quiet comfort. Puppy Training Support: Raising a puppy takes a village. I don't just watch your pup; I help reinforce your ongoing training. From consistency with housebreaking and crate routines to practicing loose-leash walking and basic commands, I ensure your puppy’s development stays right on track. A Cozy, Low-Stress Environment: Whether they need high-energy mental stimulation or just a warm lap to lean against while you're away, my goal is to maintain the exact level of comfort and security they feel when they are with you. When your dog is with me, they aren’t just being watched-they are truly cared for, understood, and loved. My open and entirely flexible schedule allows me to prioritize your dog’s specific routine, whether they require precise midday medication, extra puppy potty breaks, or last-minute care when your plans suddenly change. Whether your dog is staying at my mountain retreat or I am visiting them in your home, my care is entirely centered on love, wellness, and specialized attention. I treat every pet like family, ensuring their physical, mental, and emotional needs are fully met through a luxurious, high-standard routine. Here is exactly how I care for your pet: Positive Reinforcement Training: I believe in building confidence through kindness. Throughout the day-whether we are practicing leash manners or rewarding good choices-I use positive reinforcement to keep your dog engaged, happy, and learning. Outdoor Adventures (Walks, Hikes & Lake Swims): Taking full advantage of our beautiful surroundings, I tailor outdoor time to your dog's energy level. This includes brisk neighborhood walks, scenic mountain hikes, and even refreshing lake swims for the water lovers. Home-Cooked Nutrition: Proper nutrition is vital. If your dog eats a specialized diet, I am happy to cool and prep their custom, home-cooked meals precisely to your instructions so their digestion stays perfect. Weekly Grooming & Pampering: A clean pup is a happy pup. I incorporate a weekly groomer routine to keep your dog brushed, fresh, and feeling their absolute best during extended stays. Dedicated Snuggle Time: Emotional comfort is just as important as physical exercise. I always make plenty of time for quiet, cozy one-on-one snuggles so your dog feels safe, loved, and completely at home.
“Lukas and Copper fell in love with Jenn as soon as we arrived! They were quite comfortable staying when I left them for the day. When we picked them up they were relaxed and not trying to leave right away!! Fantastic meet and greet.”
About: I am an animal lover that works from home, so I will always be around. I'm just looking to help you care for your pets while you are away. No complicated stuff or pricey add-ons here! About me - my husband and I have owned two beautiful Vizslas over the last 17 years and recently lost our 2nd one. I love animals, have plenty of experience caring for high energy and senior dogs (we cared for our dogs with arthritis, Cushing's Disease, muscle atrophy). I love walking, hiking and spending time with animals. I have a large 1 acre property and spacious home. No other pets, just me and my husband. I am perfectly happy caring for one pet at a time if you prefer your pet to be the only pet with me. I have also cared for friends' pets for a long time as well but am adding my services here to the Rover community. Thank you! I work from home full time, so I have a lot of flexibility. I am able to take breaks often during the day for potty breaks and walks. I am home almost everyday, but I do go out on weekends for a few hours at a time. I can bring your pet along on hikes and picnics if your pet is able to join. I prefer pets that can be left at home for at least 3-4 hours at a time and unattended. If not, we can discuss. Crates may be needed if they are unable to roam around the house alone. I have a large property, but it is unfenced, it is far from the road and our area is very very quiet, almost zero cars. I can keep your pet on a leash for potty breaks if they are prone to running away. My house is spacious and has two floors with just the two of us and no other pets. The stairs and floors are covered in non-slip rugs for pets. There is a baby gate to keep your pet away from stairs if needed. There are extra rugs for the floors if needed (our senior dogs used to slip a lot). I also have a large deck that is fully enclosed - no exit route. Since I am home almost all the time, I can take your pet for a walk and let them keep me company at home on the couch too! I can also come over your home and care for your pet there as needed (depends on length of stay requested).

About: I have had pets my entire life and experience with all types of dogs. I’ve raised and trained many puppies, adopted rescue dogs and cared for aging dogs with various medical needs. Currently I have a very mellow and gentle 8 year old neutered male Great Pyrenees mix and a sweet playful and energetic 3 year old spayed female Chocolate Lab. I believe our animals are more than just pets. They are our best friends and beloved family members. I am an entrepreneur currently between projects and have full flexibility to schedule my time around caring for pets. I live near National Forest access and able to take pets for walks and hikes in the woods. I will treat your dog with the same love and kindness that I give my own animals and honor any specific requests made to provide the best care possible. I have a large fenced yard that also includes plenty of available shade under the deck and access into the basement. I have two very friendly and welcoming dogs and a family of animals lovers who enjoy giving special attention to furry visitors.
“Joan was the best! She is super responsive and she sent me videos all day of my pup. She was very accommodating when I was running late and I really appreciate her!”
“Erin helped us out with a last-minute request when numerous other Rover sitters were not available or not responding just before a busy holiday weekend. She was very understanding that our new rescue dog has insecurities and is unsure how to be an easy going pup. Erin is obviously a very patient and loving dog person. We really appreciate her and her cute pup who tried to help Lola open up. I would highly recommend Erin as a pet sitter!”
“We have been traveling for a week and changing plans due to the lack of snow so we made a very last minute request and Emma was super flexible and communicative. She took great care of Minnie! Minnie can be anxious when away from home but was much calmer than usual when we picked her up. When Minnie needed space from Emma’s playful dogs, Emma gave Minnie her own space in the house. We got updates and photos during the day too. We highly recommend Emma and would use her again if we’re traveling in this area again.”
About: Hi! I’m semi- retired, flexible and here to help! I am an experienced and dedicated dog owner with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. I have extensive experience with both large and small breeds, including strong, high-energy dogs and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’m confident handling everything from tiny companions to powerful working breeds, and I’m comfortable managing leash manners, reactivity, and high-drive personalities. Over the years, I’ve also worked alongside several professional trainers to develop improve upon training techniques and deepen my understanding of canine behavior. This has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, consistency, and reading body language — ensuring every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and supported. I currently have two dogs of my own who keep me on my toes! One required daily medication and eye drops for most of her life and is now blind, so I’m very experienced with administering medication, caring for special needs dogs, and providing the extra patience and environmental awareness they require. My other is a 90lb Rottweiler — a big, strong, lovable goofball — so I’m more than comfortable handling large, powerful breeds with confidence and control. Whether your dog needs structured walks, medication management, extra patience, or just lots of love and play, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize safety, routine, and plenty of affection. I’d love to meet your pup and provide them with a fun, safe, and caring experience! I’m currently semi retired so have flexibility to adapt to your dogs needs, routine and playtime! I love going for walks, helping with training, providing mental stimulation as well as exercise. My dogs are pretty “spoiled” according to my friends; they eat (home prepared meals) 3 times a day (not including treats) and get tons of attention. I’m happy to provide the same level of love, attentiveness and care to any and every dog I possibly can. 💜 I have a small fenced in yard and a comfortable cozy home. I do have two dogs but have the ability to keep mine separate if needed. If requesting home sitting services, I have done the same and fully understand the level of of trust, cleanliness and respect needed in these situations.
About: I’ve been raising, fostering and rescuing dogs for the past 13 years. I’ve been through all the dog life stages and dealt with all varieties of dog behavioral and medical issues. Everyone I know says that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs-spoiled to no end! I work for myself and mostly from home so I am very flexible with my schedule and my ability to spend a lot of quality time with you dog. Also, I have about 10 fenced in acres up in the mountains that is a great place to bring you pup for some off leash playtime if that’s something you’re interested in I have a lot of space in my home and also over 10 fenced in acres to explore (with supervision, of course). Outdoor play/ walk time at my house can be on or off lease depending on what you are most comfortable with
“Large yard for our dog to play and run around, he had a great time and was tired when he got home. Danielle sent pictures throughout the day, I would definitely recommend her.”
About: I fostered animals throughout my years in my college home. It was rewarding to prepare them for their forever home, and I loved every moment. I work remote, so I can do hours 4 pm-9 pm on weekdays (I get off at 4) On the weekends, I can do any time! I enjoy being active and being around animals. By keeping your companion at ease while you can't be there, it will be calming my stress as well. Win win!
About: I have had dogs growing up my whole life and currently have two toy poodles. They would be loved and cared for as my own! We are currently work from home so they have plenty of attention throughout the day. We have a fenced in backyard for some running space. If they are familiar with a doggy door we have one going in and out of the backyard. They will be treated as if they are our own. We love our dogs very much and treat them as our family members. They get love, care, and cuddles throughout the day. I currently have a fairly flexible schedule and will try to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to chat about a schedule that works for both of us! I’ll treat your pet like my own. I take my dogs on near daily walks. I love walking around neighborhoods or playing fetch. I’ll accommodate to the needs of your pet.

“We have only booked twice so far, but we trust Chey (and we have already rebooked with her). She managed to get our dog to walk over a mile (maybe treat-induced); he'll only do that on hikes with us! Also, she is respectful of our home while we're away. Five stars.”
“We have booked Emily twice now. Once to house sit our dog for a weekend trip and the second time we needed her to come walk our dog during lunch for a week while my husband was away for work. She even did a little meet and greet with us before our weekend trip to get to know our dog and how to get into our apartment. She does an amazing job! She’s taken Cali on runs with her, always sends pictures and shows up on time. We definitely trust her taking care of our pup and would recommend her to watch your dog!”
About: I grew up taking care of dogs and absolutely love them. Our pets are a part of our family. I think they should be loved and cared for while their owners are away and not put into a cage for the weekend. This causes stress and anxiety! Why should we be having all of the fun our pets deserve a normal weekend while we are away! I enjoy being outside and taking our dogs for walks and playing fetch! I also enjoy just snuggling up with our pup and watching a movie! I will take care of your dog like it is my own so you can have fun and not worry while you're on vacation! I am dependable and honest. Call me for your next vacation!

About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.
“Madison is incredible, reliable, caring, and truly loves animals. She goes above and beyond, sends the cutest updates, and treats our dogs like family. Highly recommend booking her before she gets too busy!”
“Michelle was an absolute win for Aum. She was stoked to be walked by her. She loved her mid day walks & companionship during my longer work days. Michelle brought attentiveness, patience, & thoughtful handling to every walk, and it showed in Aum’s demeanor. I had full confidence in the care & attention she provided. Would gladly book with her again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, intuitive care. Thank you so much Michelle!”
About: Personalized Dog Boarding & One-on-One Care 🐕 One Dog—or One Household—at a Time 🐾 I’ve raised and cared for animals my entire life—from two wonderful Staffordshire Bull Terriers to cats and even a Scarlet Macaw. Over the years, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. That’s why I keep my boarding intentionally small. I care for just one dog at a time, unless the dogs are from the same household. This means your pup gets my full attention in a calm home environment, without off-leash interaction with unfamiliar dogs. What Your Dog Can Expect 🐕 3–4 walks per day, tailored to their energy level and routine 🏡 A calm, comfortable home environment 👀 Close, attentive supervision throughout their stay 🥾 Local walks or valley hikes upon request ❤️ Personalized care based on your dog’s personality, habits, and needs My goal is simple: to make your dog feel comfortable, cared for, and at home while you’re away. Before Booking We’ll start with a quick conversation about your dog’s temperament, routine, exercise needs, and anything else that will help me provide the best care. If it feels like a good fit, we’ll schedule a meet & greet so your pup can meet me, explore the space, and get comfortable before their stay. Rates Rates are tailored to your dog’s individual needs, routine, and level of care. For repeat clients, we can establish a consistent rate that works comfortably for both of us. Every dog is different. Every stay is personalized. Dedicated Full-Time Dog Care When your dog stays with me, they’re never just left alone. Caring for dogs is my full-time job, and I provide around-the-clock supervision. Other than a brief trip for essentials, your pup has my full attention day and night. Because every dog has different needs, rates may vary. Some pups require more time, energy, or structure, and in those cases the rate is adjusted to reflect the additional supervision or management needed to keep them safe and comfortable. This ensures every dog receives the right level of care — and gives you the confidence that your furry friend is being looked after as if they were my own. Safe & Secure Environment My home has a fully fenced backyard, built and maintained with safety in mind. After raising two strong alpha dogs here for 17 years, I made sure the fencing is secure and reliable. Dogs always get supervised time outside — I never just leave them unattended in the yard.
About: I would love to foster a senior dog soon, but since traveling the last year; the next best thing is helping you with your special babes! I have a flexible schedule so I’m available to work with yours. Weekdays or weekends are both options. Last minute help is available also. Helping with pets in their home is ideal since they are comfortable in their environment. Experience with dogs, cats and fish. I’m organized and like to work from a daily schedule.
About: I've had dogs and cats all through my life. They've helped me through the toughest of times.. From small dogs to big dogs to kittens to grown cats. I would love to take care of yours, Just give me the chance. When your fur babies arrive in my care I will give them some down time to adjust and getting to know one another. As soon as we are better aquatinted we will go for walks have plenty of play time. And I promise you they won't leave hungry or feeling not loved but definitely happy to see you. I have no other animals that live with me. So they won't have to fight for attention. Your animals environment is what they know. We will talk about their arrangements and will be well taken care of if not better then when you left. Any medical, safety concerns or questions will be talked about prior to our meeting.
About: I am a huge animal lover and my dog, Goose, is my world. I find genuine happiness in taking care of dogs (especially if they get along with mine!) and I have Rover sat/walked several dogs in both Denver and Jackson Hole. I know how important it is to give dogs walks, love, and treats! I have spent a lot of time training Goose and I would ensure I adhere to whatever rule a dog’s owner has. I love matching a dog’s energy whether that includes cuddling with them, taking them on walks/hikes, or playing in the park. I’m a sucker for giving them treats but am VERY strict about no human food and adhering to whatever dietary restrictions they have! Dogs are my therapy; caring for them happy makes me happy. I work from home half of the week and am happy to adjust my flexible schedule as needed to ensure any dog’s needs are taken care of, including mine. I always ensure I’m aware of a dog’s walking behaviors. I never walk without a leash and do not allow them to go off lease and in a public setting until I know I’m comfortable with them. I never give in to begging for human food and always ensure I shut crates appropriately as desired by the owner. I often reward puppies with small treats for positive enforcing behavior.
About: I lived with pets growing up...dogs, cats, reptiles, horses. I am very active, and will play or run with your animal for hours! I am licensed to administer medication to humans, and have volunteered with wild animal rescues, so I can care for sick animals too. I choose the hours I work at my job, allowing me to pick up a shift at any hour and remain flexible with last-minute changes. I won’t be boarding at my home, but I have reliable transportation and wouldn’t mind taking your dog to a dog park or nearby hiking trail. Otherwise, let me know what you and your animal feel most comfortable with! I will always respect your wishes. :) I can be flexible, if you communicate your needs with me! ;) Message me to schedule a public meeting place and time so I can get to know you and your dog, then leave from there if it feels right. I only meet in public spaces. :) You can get to know me and how I will vibe with your dog or cat before we hit the trails.
About: Since I was little, I loved animals big and small. I’ve taken care of family and friends loved ones as well as my own. I have helped out my neighbors with there dog when they couldn’t bring her with. I have walked my bosses dog and others, when they need a helping hand. Since I work full time during the week, I have more freedom on the weekends to take care of owners that need help. Having more time during the weekend, I can focus more on the care of the dog or cat. If by chance a last minute request in the weekdays after 5, I’m more than willing to accommodate! I want to make sure all animals feel safe in my care. I will accommodate to everyone’s requests for how they want me to care for them. I will respect my client whether they need me to house sit both dog and cat or dog walking.
About: I've rescued, adopted, and rehabbed animals since I was a young girl. I have experience with all ages, and those with mobility issues and disabilities. I am currently working from remote/from home and am done by 3 30 pm, which always gives me the opportunity to be with your fur babies all day. I care for animals as closely to what they're used to, in their homes. I'm very careful to follow feeding times and walking times closely.
About: I offer dependable, in-home pet sitting with a focus on consistency, comfort, and individualized care. I love working with all sorts of animals and take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine, and needs. I have a 2 cats of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I treat every home and pet with the same level of respect and attention I would expect for my own. You can count on clear communication and a calm, reliable presence while you’re away. I work remotely 8-5 and can work out of your home for extended dog sitting. For small walks - mornings before 8 or after 5 fit best. I can easily crate your dog if needed, would be able to give treats, food, play with your dog. And in general follow your instructions while pet sitting and walking.
About: I have a fenced yard with no pets or children that live at home. I have been taking care of animals since I was a young boy. I find animals to possess the purest form of unconditional love and kindness… I have always been the go to pet sitter for family and friends…. I love animals with all my heart:)❤️… I work from home for myself with a very flexible schedule. I have a lot of time to devote to caring for other peoples beloved pets… There is plenty of space to play in fenced back yard and a pet safe home. I love taking frequent walks and hikes. I’m okay with sharing my furniture with pets, however, I am flexible with pet owners wishes Because I am self employed and work from home with a flexible schedule I am able to focus my time on your fur babies. I like to give them all the exercise they require to be able to relax with no anxiety. Although I have a home with a fenced yard, I never leave pets unattended. I do not have any children living at home and I don’t have any pets which alleviates any aggression concerns. I would like to be your pet’s favorite uncle:)💚
