“We have used Donaji twice now and about to make it a third. She is amazing with her communication and updates. The first time I contacted her, I think I received a response within 5 minutes. Our pups come home exhausted and happy as can be and have even made some new friends under Donaji's care. :)”
“Tara and her family were great with our Gizmo!!!! Tara sent multiple photos of Gizmo during his stay, which made us feel extremely comfortable having him there. This was the first time we left him with someone so we were initially nervous. We will definitely book with her again!!!”
“I had no idea what to expect when needing someone to watch the dogs for a weekend when it was suggested to use rover. I casually passed through looking at each individuals rating, not putting a lot of thought into it. What stuck out to me the most was the number of repeat clients. Well ok, what’s about? I reached out to see about getting a booking and within 10 minutes she was open to it and at her behest she suggested I come meet her, her husband and her dog. Kind of see the lay of the land. I didn’t think much of it because I was in a time crunch and she was very accommodating to make she we could break the ice. The app said near by, it was 25 minutes away. In hindsight, I’d drive further to have her watch the dogs again. We came out met her dog, saw the house, which she was very welcoming to show me and the dogs. I knew when I left that I found my dogs future “foster family l” if I can’t take the dogs with. It’s funny because she kind of set some ground rules of how she cares for the dogs, mine are different, overly needy and affectionate. Pretty sure, by the daily pictures I got, they won her over more and bent some of the rules. I never asked her to send me pictures of keep me updated but I never had to ask. And they weren’t just proof that they were ok. They were pictures of them being lap dogs, and one of them isn’t skinny. Pictures of them being active, and even walks. Moral of the story is, if you need someone to watch your dogs, and might even treat them a little better than you might, lol, you can’t go wrong. It was like they were at camp and didn’t want to leave. I never had any concern about leaving them with her and her husband, and if I did, I never got the chance because there were always be a random update sent over. Thanks again, my dogs are home, safe and down for the count. See you next time.”
“Kristen was awesome with our 60lb, six year old black lab mix. She walked him and made sure he had a great time while we were away. She kept us updated with pictures and how he was doing. Thanks Kristen we really appreciate you!!”
“Claudia did an amazing job taking care of our golden retriever this past weekend. It was easy to communicate with her and she even sent us multiple pictures of our pup, which made us feel very at ease for leaving our dog. Will definitely use her again in the future, especially since she is so close to the airport, which makes it so easy for our frequent travels out of DIA.”
“My dog, Scout stayed with Imelda for 5 days. He was very well taken care of. She also sent daily photos. Would highly recommend and planning on booking again in the near future! Thank you!!”
“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.”

“Our dogs have stayed with Kelly twice now and she is just the best. They had a long stay the first time and I was a little anxious about leaving them but soon she allayed my fears. She sends lots of updates in texts, pictures, and videos which makes me feel better knowing they look adjusted and content at her place. The second time was just for a night and they couldn’t wait to get in and immediately ran to her backyard never looking back. They were happy to be there! Kelly is so nice and laid back. I can tell she has lots of experience with dogs. Thanks Kelly, we appreciate you taking care of our sweeties!”
“We always leave our pets with Cori because she does such an amazing job taking care of them!! It’s always heartwarming to get pictures and updates on the daily! Our dog loves it over there because of all the dogs he gets to meet and all the attention he gets! Thank you so much for always taking care of our dogs and giving them a loving place to be while we are away!”
“We couldn’t be more thrilled with our experience with Stephanie! She’s incredibly thoughtful and communicative and provided such a loving environment for our pup. She was also great about sharing regular photo and video updates which we especially appreciated since it was an extended stay. Our pup was clearly living her best life at Stephanie’s and she came home happy and tired. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Gabriela was wonderful with S'mores! She kept us updated with pictures and was extremely welcoming and warm with our puppy. Will definitely stay with her again!”

“Super happy with Ursula’s services. She’s very sweet and we did a meet & greet before booking to make sure it was a good fit. I loved the report cards everyday and although my cat can be hesitant around new people, I was happy to hear they made progress by the end. We definitely plan on using her again for our future trips.”
“Corey is the best! This is the second time I’ve booked her and I wouldn’t consider anyone else as long as she’s available. She’s attentive, caring, and leaves great cards detailing her visits and pictures of my boys that settle my separation anxiety.”
“Donaji was so wonderful with our sweet cat, and we really appreciate everything! She was able to give him his medicine/food and play with him, and was certain to make sure everything was done correctly. I loved all the pictures she took! Thank you again for being so wonderful and kind to our sweet kitty.”
“Rachel was WONDERFUL! She took amazing care of my cats and made sure to give them plenty of love and attention. I'm so appreciative of the excellent care she provided. I loved the detailed and thoughtful updates and the delightful pictures. I enthusiastically recommend Rachel and would happily have her back to care for my cats again. Thank you, Rachel!”

“Samantha took such great care of my babies! She gave them lots of love and attention, and she followed my instructions perfectly!! She eased my anxiety so much with her updates and photos 🥹🥹🥹”
“We went to the last broncos game of the year and Breanna watched the big rotty. He was well taken care of and absolutely exhausted from the play he had. She also bathed him and cleaned out a bad ear we weren't aware of. Highly recommend her as a sitter/walker”
About: I was raised with dogs since a little girl. I have done dog sitting for family and friends for the past 5 years and love it so much. Pet Care fits into my daily routine because I work from home full time and I'm able to give them all the attention and care that they need during their stay with me. I have a fenced yard and three other girl dogs that will keep your pet company. My back yard is dog friendly. I keep it clean with toys and dog beds. I currently work from home, I’m my own company owner and have flexible schedule. I’m available at anytime. And this is the reason I am open to same-day appointments as needed. I am 100%, a dog, an animal lover for me a furry pet is part of the family and I treat them as my own!
“Christine is the best pet sitter!! She is communicative, always follows instructions, and my cat loves her. I use Christine as my regular cat sitter now & can’t recommend her enough :-)”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats, with a strong focus on senior cats and those with health needs. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following detailed feeding schedules, and monitoring behavioral changes that can signal discomfort or illness. Most of my experience has been with indoor cats, as well as indoor/outdoor cats who require consistent routines and close attention to safety. I understand how particular cats can be about litter box cleanliness, feeding timing, and environmental changes, and I take those details seriously. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of feline boundaries. Whether your cat is social and affectionate or prefers quiet coexistence, I adjust to their temperament rather than forcing interaction. You’ll receive consistent updates and photos so you know exactly how things are going while you’re away.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my babies! They clearly felt comfortable with you (as much as cats do with anyone). It’s awesome knowing I can leave confident that my babies are in good hands with you.”
“Once again, Jillian did an amazing job taking care of my kitties. She updated me thoroughly and took many pictures while I was away. She was great with my shy cat. She’s always extremely trustworthy and great at what she does.”
About: I know that cats aren’t just pets—they’re family—and each one comes with their own unique personality, quirk, and comfort level. Whether your kitty is a shy sweetheart who needs a gentle approach, a high-energy player, or a senior needing routine care, I bring the professional background and personal intuition to make them feel safe and happy while you’re away.
About: Just 15 minutes from Denver International Airport! Countless dogs have been in my life since I was 3 years old! From my own Yorkie pups, to my neighbor’s Labrador’s, I’ve gained experience with loving, training, and supporting animals through every paw-step of their life. I have experience with newborn puppies (from their mother giving birth to 8 weeks old and longer!) to the delicate sunset years of seniors. From feeding, to walking, to grooming, I can tell you that every dog is different, with various needs and wants, just like humans! Once I learn what your furbaby needs, I won’t rest until they have it. Some pets have allergies, some pets have enormous amounts of energy, but all pets need love! From the moment I wake up, pets are a part of my life! I have a remote job that allows me to spend all day with your furry friends and adhere to whatever they need. Im only one bark away when your pup is around! Trust is the first step to any animal relationship. With my 20 years of experience, I have developed a keen eye for dog body language. Adapting to their mood and knowing how to keep them safe in correlation to how they feel is my number one priority. On walks, I will be sure to check how your pup feels every step. I will approach, avoid, or distract them when the situation calls for it. During house sitting and drop-ins, I will learn your rules for the house and apply them with as much love as you do! From going outside to lounging indoors, your pet will have just as much safety and support as when you’re home! I have crate trained dogs, walked dogs leashed and non-leashed, and dealt with multiple temperaments. Whatever your dog is used to, I can easily adapt to them.
About: I’ve grown up always being around dogs and taking care of them. I trained my childhood puppy and helped care for her while she got older with hip arthritis. I love pets of all kinds! I work part time as an optemetric technician Mondays and Thursdays. I’m free the rest of the week and flexible on weekends! Please send me a message and I’d be happy to work with you! I would love to take care of your pet as best as I can and as you would prefer. I love going on walks, runs, and playing at the park!
About: I have cared for all kinds of dogs since I was young. Many of my family members and friends have relied on me with their furry family members. I am currently a full time student at CU Denver and run a youth volleyball program but in my free time I love to spend it out doors or at home with my own doggie. I have a large home and a friendly pup of my own so they'll never be bored. I can easily crate my dog or yours if need be. I am very protective of not just my own pup but as well others when in my care.
About: I have taken care of many friends and family’s cats. Some extremely friendly to very shy, all of which I’ve enjoyed. I love spending time with them whether that is a good play sesh or some good cuddles. Or even just staring at each other until it’s dinner time. I can also administer medication to keep your fur baby happy and healthy.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Watkins
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will love your pup like their own, you’ve found the right person. We are so grateful for Mrs. Charlie 🫶🏼 11/10 recommend!”
“We've booked with Imelda about 5 times now for overnight stays and daycare for Gracie our Jack Russell terrier. Imelda is very friendly, organized and obviously loves dogs! Gracie is well cared for and eager to meet the other 2 or 3 dogs that are usually there. It's great to know that we have a safe and happy place for Gracie to stay when the need arises.”
About: Aside from my own dogs that I've had my whole life, I have also watched friends' and neighbors' dogs since middle school. I've taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds, and honestly, there hasn't been a single one I have not loved. I take pride in saying that I will watch your dog as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs who have medical conditions as well, such as arthritis, seizures, restricted diets, etc. I'm currently just a stay-at-home mom of one baby boy and one fur baby boy. We love getting out of the house every day and walking, or going to the park, and we always love to have some extra company! I am a stay-at-home mom so that leaves me a lot of time to play with your fur babies and love on them. This also allows me to follow any schedules that your dog may want or need to follow. Also, my dog loves to go out back, and run around or sunbathe, very often so that means that there are very frequent potty break for your dogs as well! I have fenced yard and a super active fur baby and a toddler. My dog is always happy to run circles or play tug of war, and my toddler is always happy to throw a Frisbee or ball for any and all dogs (whether they are interested or not). As for me, I am happy to offer cuddles and companionship for your fur babies. I know it's hard to leave your dogs behind, but it is also hard for them as well. My goal is to make them feel as at home as possible. For example, dogs often do not want to eat when they miss their owners, so I try to alleviate this by adding rice or chicken to their food (with parents permission, of course).
“Just finished our first day of daycare with Claudia and it looks like she had a blast! Many cute pics were sent over which was much appreciated :) will use again!”
“Marisa took such good care of Charlie during our short time in Denver. I booked her last minute and she was so responsive and communicative. I felt very comfortable having Charlie with her. Marisa sends pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend Marisa as your dog sitter!”

About: As a retired animal lover; I have had small to medium dogs of my own and watched over many pets over out the years. I am attentive to details and ensure all animals under my care get the proper attention, love, and engagement. I have a moderate size home in Green Valley Ranch in a quiet residential neighborhood (close to the airport for easy drop offs and pick ups), the place has a small not fenced out door patio. There is also a small dog friendly park right across the street from my home. I hope you will consider me to take care of your fur babies. I am experienced, compassionate, and detail oriented and will ensure a quality care stay for your pet! I am retired and am flexible for most days of the week and weekend. I am also reliable for long term boarding and can work with the owners schedule preferences. However, I only allow for pet drop off and pick ups between 7am to 9pm each day. I am the only person living in my home and have no other pets currently. I am in a very safe residential neighborhood and have a private patio as well as a park across the street where I take the dogs on leash to use the restroom 3-5 times a day. I am experienced with daily care for animals and am also able to perform specific needs for individual situations such as dietary restrictions.
“My gsp loved being at Daviana’s! Our pups got along so well, and she made my pup feel right at home. Super communicative and flexible with scheduling. Will book with her again!”
“Kari is AMAZING!!! My big ( 160lbs) sweet giant great dane Hondo had a blast hanging with her and her dogs. He came home dog tired and had the best time. I highly recommend her, she's got a good system over there and every dog leaves happy.”
“How can you tell when you’ve found a great pet sitter? Your dog can’t wait to get out of the car and rushes to their door! Gracie absolutely loves coming here. ❤️”
About: my current dog has suffered with an abusive owner before I rescued him and before he did not want me to touch him or pet him but now he never wants to be let go! lol I personally think it will help me so much to be more responsible with my daily routines and to learn also to be an adult now that I'm 18. But of course there is nothing to worry about because I will take care of your dogs like they were my own! Your dog gets a secure, loving space at my home with constant supervision, a fenced yard, and my full attention the entire stay. He/She will enjoy their time here at my home.
“Janyssa is amazing! She takes such good care of my little guy during the day. She provides updates throughout the day and lets me know of any concerns. My buddy loves to visit her, and he’s always a happy boy when I pick him up! Thank you Janyssa for caring for my little one!”
“Heather is so great with my pup Atticus. She tailors her card to fit the needs of my dog. She takes extra precautions around my pups special diet. Atticus just loved playing with her and her pup Murray. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She loves my pup like he is her own.”
About: I’ve lived with and cared for all types of dogs and cats since I was a young child. I care for friends and family member’s pets throughout the years. My family and I love animals and are dedicated to providing a caring and fun environment for your pet. I work from home and have plenty of time to walk and play with pups. We love our pups and kitty and walk Mollie and Hollie at least a mile everyday. We have a large park with a lake full of interesting smells for pups to explore. We are used to dietary restrictions and can adapt to any personality. You can drop your pet off and relax knowing they are cared for by a loving family. I currently work from home so I have plenty of time to take multiple walks a day and play in the yard with your pup. We feed our animals in the morning and evening and we all snuggle together on the bed at night. I have a fenced in yard and a dog door so your pup may go in and out as often as they like. Some pups can’t figure out the dog door so I am here to let them in and out as needed. We take at least one long walk a day and play fetch in the yard. Pups are welcomed to sleep in our room if they are more comfortable there.
“Briana was great! Very thankful her and her family were patient with my youngest dog, who did not behave well today. She consistently updated me on how my dogs were doing and sent pictures.”

About: Hi! I’m Tara, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Donaji and Oreo are the sweetest! I wish I could leave a higher review! Donaji was amazing with my corgi! She is trustworthy with my animal and my home. She took great care of Lewis and was considerate of neighbors wishes as well. I truly can't say enough positive things about her! She showed up for every appointment and took my dog on a one mile walk per day. We will absolutely be utilizing her services again soon.”
“Imelda walked my dog 3x per week for about 4 months while I recovered from a broken leg. She did an outstanding job, and took a huge load off my shoulders while I was out of it.

“I'm so grateful to have found Kiyara to stop in to walk my senior dog while I'm at work! He needs more consistent interaction and bathroom breaks these days as well as mid-day medication. Kiyara was flexible with my work schedule, showed up exactly when expected, and was able to administer Rocky's meds. I can't wait to keep working with her!”

About: As a dog walker and sitter, what sets me apart from others is my genuine love and passion for animals. I am not just doing this job for the sake of it, but because I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and providing them with the care and attention they deserve. I know how to administer medication and insulin. I have training skills/experience and can help train your dog in leash. I believe in creating a strong bond with the dogs I work with, understanding their unique personalities, and tailoring my services to meet their specific needs. I make sure to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them, whether it's during walks, playtime, or overnight sitting. Additionally, I have extensive experience in handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I am trained in dog behavior and body language, ensuring that I can effectively communicate and understand their needs, even in challenging situations. This enables me to provide a calm and confident presence while working with them. Furthermore, I prioritize open and transparent communication with pet owners. I keep them updated about their furry friend's activities and any noteworthy observations during my time with them. This helps to maintain trust and allows owners to feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands. I am working from home with my own startup business, with that being said, I am able to travel and be flexible and, most importantly dependable. I prioritize the care and safety of the pets entrusted to me. Firstly, I make sure to create a pet-friendly environment by removing any hazardous objects or chemicals that may harm them. I also provide a comfortable and secure area for the pets, ensuring they have access to food, water, and a quiet place to rest. Additionally, I closely adhere to the pet's feeding and exercise routines, ensuring they receive the care and attention they need. Regularly monitoring them for any signs of distress or illness is a top priority, and I promptly address any concerns by contacting the owner or seeking veterinary assistance if necessary. Overall, I approach pet sitting with utmost responsibility and dedication, ensuring the welfare and safety of the animals under my care.

“I had no idea what to expect when needing someone to watch the dogs for a weekend when it was suggested to use rover. I casually passed through looking at each individuals rating, not putting a lot of thought into it. What stuck out to me the most was the number of repeat clients. Well ok, what’s about? I reached out to see about getting a booking and within 10 minutes she was open to it and at her behest she suggested I come meet her, her husband and her dog. Kind of see the lay of the land. I didn’t think much of it because I was in a time crunch and she was very accommodating to make she we could break the ice. The app said near by, it was 25 minutes away. In hindsight, I’d drive further to have her watch the dogs again. We came out met her dog, saw the house, which she was very welcoming to show me and the dogs. I knew when I left that I found my dogs future “foster family l” if I can’t take the dogs with. It’s funny because she kind of set some ground rules of how she cares for the dogs, mine are different, overly needy and affectionate. Pretty sure, by the daily pictures I got, they won her over more and bent some of the rules. I never asked her to send me pictures of keep me updated but I never had to ask. And they weren’t just proof that they were ok. They were pictures of them being lap dogs, and one of them isn’t skinny. Pictures of them being active, and even walks. Moral of the story is, if you need someone to watch your dogs, and might even treat them a little better than you might, lol, you can’t go wrong. It was like they were at camp and didn’t want to leave. I never had any concern about leaving them with her and her husband, and if I did, I never got the chance because there were always be a random update sent over. Thanks again, my dogs are home, safe and down for the count. See you next time.”

“Claudia did an amazing job taking care of our golden retriever this past weekend. It was easy to communicate with her and she even sent us multiple pictures of our pup, which made us feel very at ease for leaving our dog.

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.”

She sends lots of updates in texts, pictures, and videos which makes me feel better knowing they look adjusted and content at her place. The second time was just for a night and they couldn’t wait to get in and immediately ran to her backyard never looking back. They were happy to be there! Kelly is so nice and laid back. I can tell she has lots of experience with dogs. Thanks Kelly, we appreciate you taking care of our sweeties!”
