We highly recommend Maddy for pet care!”

We loved the photo updates and knowing how Bella was doing. I highly recommend them. She will be back with them again soon!”

“Nick has been my go to sitter for my 2 pups for almost 2 years now! He always is super flexible with dates and drop off times and last minute boarding requests. His friend Gabe has also been so amazing with the pups as well. He’s brought my dogs along with him on camping trips and outings and I can tell they have so much fun by their reaction when we pull onto his property. I have not used another sitter since I found Nick. The dogs adore staying with him and I love the flexibility Nick has with boarding/daycare and how tired my dogs are once I pick them up from running around the farm all day!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animals’ unique personalities and needs. Today, I’m the proud owner of two Golden Retrievers, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to accommodate walks, potty breaks, play sessions, feedings, and check-ins that fit your pet’s normal routine. My flexibility also makes it easier to accommodate last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or my own, I provide a calm, attentive environment and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. I understand that every pet is different, so I follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, training commands, and household rules. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Although I’ve always cared for pets of friends and family, I am excited to now care for pets at a more professional level through Rover! I’ve had cats for basically my whole life, and can definitely say they are my favorite animals! As someone who has rescued many kittens from the street, I feel confident in caring for kitties of all ages and health requirements!! When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I believe every animal deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I care for every pet as if they were my own.
“Falecia was absolutely amazing with our little furball Bodhi, she has great attention to detail, was very loving with our cat, and wrote thorough notes with plenty of pictures. I felt Falecia took great care of our cat and we will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Falecia!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have six years of professional experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether I’m helping a friend, family member, or client, I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid through the American Red Cross. I have a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed, so I’m always happy to follow their usual schedule to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Your pet’s safety and happiness always come first. I have a fully fenced yard and live right by Chautauqua, so there's plenty of space to play and explore. While I adore hosting social dogs, my home is also a great environment for dogs who prefer to be the only pet in the home, since I accept only one client at a time. I'm happy to accommodate multiple dogs from the same household, though!
About: I grew up with cats, both indoor only and indoor/outdoor cats, and I am familiar with all the typical routines! I also have experience with cats that have severe anxiety or struggle with bowel control.
“Lali is amazing and incredible at what she does. My super shy shelter cat warmed up to her right away and definitely missed her after. Lali is also extremely communicative, thorough, and reliable. We felt like our cat was in great hands and would definitely book her again!”
“Caitlin did a great job once again! This was the second time she checked in on my two cats, and everything went smoothly. She played with them, fed them, and kept the litter box clean. She also sent photos and regular updates, which gave me real peace of mind. Highly recommend and would definitely book her again!”
“Addisen was a fantastic pet sitter for my little girl! She provided excellent communication throughout the stay and sent wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind and made my day. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely hire Addisen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
“Olivia came through for me in an emergency. I was unable to meet her although I feel confident she did a wonderful job. I could tell she at my home as expected to feed my cat. From the outside camera I could tell my cat was responding well to her. I would 100% hire her again. Thank you for taking care of my home and my cat Olivia.”
About: I’ve had my own cat since I was 7, and I’ve spent the past 14 years caring for him. I started cat sitting neighbors pets when I was 12, and have continued to do so in my adulthood. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats, as I live with one currently. I have cared for both kittens and senior cats, and tend to be able to get shy cats to socialize. I’m used to all the dirty work that comes with cats, like cleaning litter boxes and cleaning up animals they may bring in.
“Aubrey is the best!!!! Our first time working with her and we are absolutely rebooking! She is proactively communicative and sent so many photos (my favorite). She provided the best detailed updates on our cats energy/moods. She was also house sitting for us and we came home to everything extremely clean and well put together! She gave us peace and mind during our time away 😊”
About: When catsitting, I always take extra measures to make sure your cat is comfortable and happy. I know cats can be sensitive or stressed when their owners are not home so I spend extra time making sure to keep them occupied while also respecting their boundaries. I like to send frequent updates and pictures throughout my time caring for your cat so you know they are in good hands :)
“We are very grateful to have had Hannah with your kitties while we were away! She sent lots of photos & updates, and gave them playtime while we were gone. Will look forward to using Hannah again!”
“Samantha was professional, friendly and personable. She took extra great care of my pets!! I felt very at ease leaving her in charge. She went above and beyond. She took pics and sent a note everyday as well. I appreciate having had met such a caring sitter through Rover and will definitely contact again if she is available!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wheelman
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
About: I am a total animal person :) I love all animals and especially dogs. I treat all dogs as if they were my own companion. I love to reward them with high quality treats and natural peanut butter. I grew up taking care of all types of animals. I had chinchillas, rabbits, dogs, hamsters, fish etc.. I have been training dogs for 28 years and have watched and read a lot of dog training videos and books. Lennon was a very diificult dog to train because she's incredibly smart, independent and not very food motivated. I understand how to deal with all types of personalities/ quirks and needs from my wide range of dogs I have cared for. I have watched 14 year old standard poodles with a lot of anxiety and medical issues, to a shy mini poodle or a collie that wants to chase Lennon all day every day. Also my dog Lennon has severe allergies and very sensitive skin etc. so she takes medicine daily and I give her probiotics and am always watching to make sure she's not having a bad reaction. She has gone into anaphylaxis twice and luckily I knew the signs and was able to get her to the vet just in time to save her life. I take dog care very seriously because of this, if I notice any change in behavior or red eyes etc. I will notify you immediately and see what the course of action should be. I value giving pet owners peace of mind because I know what it is like to be worried about your animal while traveling and theres no worse feeling. I love to send lots of pictures and videos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I watched dogs on Rover for 2 years before in Georgia when I was married and unfortunately it was all booked under my ex's profile so you can't see all my reviews. I take my Aussie-doodle Lennon for daily walks and have multiple playtime sessions daily with fetch balls, plush toys, doing tricks, playing tug a war etc. I also have a big comfy couch downstairs I love to snuggle with my pup on. When the weather is nice I love to go on dog friendly hikes during (between 1-4 miles) nothing too crazy especially if it is hot outside. If your dog is snuggly, I offer snuggles. If they are play oriented I offer tons of play and my pup Lennon LOVES to play and chill (she's very insanely emotionally intelligent). She knows when to play and when to relax - which I love about her. I will always take dogs for walks (weather permitting) and take them out to potty every 3-4 hours minimum.
“Nicholas was great quick and easy to communicate with. He took our dog Shaka on all his errands for the day (mostly indoors because it was super cold) and hung out with him at his work. Shaka was relaxed and asleep when I collected him.”
“Jacky was AMAZING with Mecum, I swear he had the best night of his life. She was super attentive to his needs and brought him for many fun activities. Best Rover person I’ve ever met!!! I’m so grateful I met her and can’t wait for future trips for her to hang out with him! :) he moved right in and loved it. Thank you, Jacky! She also sent me frequent updates throughout the night and sent pictures/ videos. You’re the best, Jacky!!!!”
“Georgia successfully tired out our energetic, border collie puppy Nancy! She was communicative throughout the day and took Nancy to play in the creek. Thank you!!”
“Jessica was great with my dog! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay! My dog had a great time hanging out with her pup as well. I really appreciate Jessica accepting my booking so last minute. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Emilie helped us out tremendously with some last minute day care. She's quick to respond, friendly, and I felt at ease leaving our pup with her. Two big thumbs up from us!”
“Lisa was great!! My partner had to leave pretty last-minute for a work trip and Lisa was immediately responsive; worked Pep in for a meet & greet right away. Will absolutely be reaching out again!”
“Allison and John were so amazing and took great care of my doggie. They were also super communicative, took lots of pictures and did two walks. Their home has a really nice backyard. I feel super grateful, thank you Allison and John for taking such good care of Yara 🌸🥹”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for weeks at a time for the past four years in Colorado and Southern California. I love having your pup around as a friend and companion here in boulder, CO! Your dog can expect lots of walks, hikes, playing in our backyard, and many cuddles! I work remotely from home so have time to take your dog out on walks, feed them at the times they are used to, and hang out and play! I have a fenced in backyard and a park right around the corner. I am comfortable taking your dogs on walks and hikes in the area!
“Bretta is incredible! She was so patient and caring for my pup during his stays with her. He was extremely anxious but she was able to help him feel secure while I was away. She did an excellent job of checking in and trying methods to help my dog. We were so lucky to find her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly caring sitter and an overall quality stay!”
“Perfect stay for our Nina. She was taken for walks, we received photos of Nina’s happy day. Trust worthy person, we highly recommend her. Nina was wagging her tail each morning that they me! Perfection. Thank you for taking good care of Nina!!”
“Dakota and Kate were amazing for a short day care need. They took great care of Roxy and brought her right into their family. Sent plenty of pictures. Highly recommended!”
About: I love and grew up with dogs...we have a very deep and loving connection. Friends always chuckle about how I can put a dog to sleep quickly...when I place my hands on them they relax nearly immediately. I'm a deeply present and observant person who picks up subtle cues and patterns as part of my default programming. Your beloved dog is in great hands with me and I always do my best to keep in alignment with the animal's training. And if you'd like, I can give your dog reiki sessions...that would be a joy! I work from home and make infrequent trips to town, so my schedule is quite flexible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. When caring for a pet in my home or yours, your dog is my first priority and I abide by your instructions for feeding/play/bathroom. I stay observant to learn the way your animal communicates so to allow their nervous system to be as relaxed as possible, knowing they are being well-cared for. If your dog wants to snuggle or play, I make myself fully available for that (unless you have guidelines for how you'd like me to engage with them. I'll take your dog on walks around the property to go to the bathroom and for exercise (we live on a canyon-side). During the warmer season, we have a creek across the street and if you’d like I can take them on-leash down to play in the water.
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I am currently a student taking online classes from home while also working a part-time job, so I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day and make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I live in a house with a small yard and am across the street from a small park, with a much larger park only a few blocks away, which is great for walks and outdoor time. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by giving them lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks or walks. Since I spend a lot of time at home, pets will rarely be left alone for long periods and will always have someone around to keep them company and stick to their normal routine.
“Celia and Mark took excellent care of my dog, Winston! He has separation anxiety so I was quite nervous to leave him with someone else but they handled it beautifully! He got a lot of play time and a walk, and loved running around in their yard. Celia and Mark kept me updated with pictures and videos so I knew he was doing well. I highly recommend them!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for a year for a 1-year-old, now 2 years old, lab puppy. I am offering walks, drop in visits, and day care. I mostly work from home as I finish up nursing school, so I am often free for care! I only work twice a week and will be free entirely for the next few months as I study for my NCLEX for nursing. Pet care would be a happy distraction and a great use of my free time! I always give 100% of my attention to the animals I care for and love taking them for walks and playing outside! I am always sure to bring a toy and make the animal feel as comfortable as possible with a new friend.
About: I have had animals my entire life and have been responsible for their care from a young age. I regularly pet sit for friends and family and have experience caring for a variety of animals. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own, which has strengthened my knowledge of daily pet care and animal behavior. I am also a member of Delta Gamma, where I help support initiatives that raise awareness for guide dogs in training and the families who care for them. My lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience make me a responsible and dependable caregiver. I work a remote job from 10-2 Monday- Friday. I am a morning person and can take care of pets before and after work. I am very flexible especially on the weekends. I have extensive experience caring for both my own pets and the pets of friends and family. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision to keep them comfortable and happy. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide reliable, compassionate care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Since I am away from my own pets while at school, I especially enjoy spending time with animals and ensuring they feel safe and well cared for.
“Laika's stay with Alison went well: she was socialized with other dogs, which is great, and she had access to the outdoors to romp and play. She was sleepy when we got home, which is fantastic. :) Alison also sent plenty of pictures so I got to appreciate some of the adventures Laika was having.”

“Sullivan is professional, compassionate and energetic-my dog LOVES it when she comes to walk him. She's always punctual, communicative and deeply cares. We are very lucky to have her in our lives.”
“Emma was WONDERFUL! We booked her last minute and she totally alleviated all our stress. We went away for the weekend and she gave us our man Gus long and good walks and gave some love to our cats, even going as far to search for one that was hiding. 10/10, we will be booking her in the future!”
About: I love dogs (and cats!) of all personalities and especially love being active with them, such as going on hikes or jogs, playing fetch, or simply hanging out at the park. I love getting to know each animal's unique personality and learning what makes them them! I am available outside of the following hours: 2-4:30pm Monday-Friday, 5:30-7pm Mondays and Thursdays, and 4-6pm on Wednesdays. Other than these times, I am free to be booked! I have a large, fenced in yard with no other pets, which is great if your pet has trouble around other animals. I also live very close to North Boulder park! And when I am caring for your animal at your home, I am mindful of private spaces and boundaries, and I always make sure to entirely clean up after myself.
“Aubrey has been so great walking my 3yr old German Shepherd Lab mix every single day! His leash walking has improved since she started walking him, too so she’s doing a great job. Aubrey really goes above and beyond with her notes and is good about reaching out with any questions about my preferences.”
About: My wife(Emerald) and I have experience as professional dog/house sitters. For two years we traveled with our own mobile dog grooming business. We are confident in our abilities to care for elderly and young dogs. We recently took care of a liter of 6 pups and momma till they were ready to be in their forever homes. We really feel in tune with the behaviors of dogs and also enjoy cats too! We love taking walks and hiking. We are available full time since we make our own schedule. Dogs are such unique creatures and we really enjoy getting to learn about them and spend time loving on them. We would love to come play, walk, feed, and care for your pet. We have spent a lot of time with multiple dogs a day so we feel very qualified to look after your special companion. We also have special leash training skills of how to walk dogs. Hope to meet you and your dog!! We work from home, we consider ourselves the utility players, meaning when someone needs us we are available. So we will be able to be with your pets for long periods of the day. We will be with your pets in the comfort of their home and if it something you and the pets are comfortable with we can take them with us to local places.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.
“There are people who simply provide a service, and then there are people who become an indispensable part of your life. Ariel is firmly in the latter category. She became a trusted partner during a particularly difficult chapter while I was recovering from major surgery. Knowing that Milo was in her care brought a level of reassurance that is hard to overstate. Aerial is dependability personified, always on time, often to the minute, with clear, prompt communication and remarkable flexibility whenever last-minute changes arose. Not once did those adjustments come with the slightest hint of frustration or attitude. She simply found a way to make things work. What truly sets her apart, however, is her relationship with dogs. She genuinely loves Milo, and it’s obvious he feels the same. She has the rare combination of warmth, confidence, and deep experience that allows her to take charge naturally. Her calm, capable presence inspires trust, and you immediately know your dog is in exceptionally good hands. My gratitude for Ariel goes far beyond dog walking. She provided peace of mind when I needed it most, and for that I will always be thankful. I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection. Absolute Gem!!”
“We so appreciate Molly getting up early IN THE RAIN to walk our pup (who took some convincing to be outside in the wet haha). Molly was an awesome communicator, took the most adorable pics, and was clearly very experienced with the puppy training phase. Felt great knowing our pup was in good hands!”

“Can't say enough good things about Ona!, their schedule is very flexible and they work with me with last minute requests and do a wonderful job. My beautiful little dog is always super happy when I come home and not too too fully energetic.”
“Linnea is lovely. She communicated clearly and promptly and was always right on time. I needed to cancel one day I had booked and she was flexible in accommodating the change and rescheduling on a different day which I really appreciated. .Our dog was always happy to see her for hour long walks and happy when she came home.”
About: You know when you’re out in public and your dog unexpectedly rushes straight over to say hi to a random (specific) person then needs to be physically pulled away even after they got the attention they wanted? For some reason, I’ve always been that random but specific person. Sometimes it feels like dogs suddenly materialize in front of me or like their “hello” is really more of a “it’s about time you got here!” Dogs (and cats, for that matter) also tend to insist on cuddling up next to me instead of their usual pick when I visit their homes (and I’m certainly not complaining). I currently only have cats, but I grew up with three dogs (a chocolate lab, a miniature schnauzer, and a Pomeranian) and have learned how to love both in the ways they want me to love them. What I love most about dogs is how pure they are. We all appreciate their undying loyalty, of course, but the sweet, unconditionally caring emotional presence that dogs carry themselves with is one of the things that makes life worth living. I consider non-human animals to be people too, and dogs are definitely among the best non-human animals. I would be just as excited as your dog(s) would be to make a new friend! My availability is flexible in general but particularly in terms of the time of day. I have a circadian rhythm difference that makes my sleep “schedule” change throughout each week, so if I’m given sufficient notice (48 hours), I’m easily able to modify my waking hours if your pet has time-sensitive needs. As mentioned in my bios, animals seem to naturally see me as a Disney princess. However, even though I’m very confident that I’ll get along with your pet(s) without any issues, their friendship is theirs to give, not mine to demand. Their needs are my top priority (and would be even if I weren’t petsitting); I recognize that some animals need lots of time and space to truly feel safe, and giving them that time and space is the only way to create a mutually comforting environment. Even if your dog/cat actually is insatiably social and unfailingly affectionate, I want to be sure that I get an idea of any individual boundaries or strong preferences beforehand so that I’m able to treat them with the same respect and care that I would a human person. As far as dogs and cats that want lots of love and affection, I am happy to give and share it! My cats sleep with me most nights and I often have one on my lap or next to my leg throughout a given day. Either way, I’ll follow your pet’s lead.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Although I’ve always cared for pets of friends and family, I am excited to now care for pets at a more professional level through Rover! I’m a bit of a dog breed nerd and genuinely enjoy learning about breed-specific traits, behaviors, and enrichment needs. Whether your pup is a high-energy working breed that needs extra exercise or a laid-back companion who loves cuddles, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I believe every animal deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I am a self employed artist and photographer which allows me to have complete control and flexibility in my schedule to care for animals! I can be available on short notice and can easily work my schedule around the needs of each individual pet! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and affection while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I’m attentive to body language and behavior changes, allowing me to adapt my care to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As someone who enjoys learning about breed-specific traits and needs, I understand that every dog is different and strive to provide care that matches their energy level and temperament. My goal is to give pet parents the same peace of mind I would want, by treating every animal as if they were my own and keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies and older pets. I’m really patient and make sure each pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable, whether they’re staying with me or I’m visiting them. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I think that personal care really makes a difference. I’m a student at CU Boulder, and taking care of pets fits really well into my routine. I’m fully available on weekends and love spending time with dogs whenever I get the chance. Unfortunately, having my own dog doesn’t quite fit into my life yet, so I really enjoy caring for dogs through Rover. I live in a large two-story home with plenty of space for pets to play and relax. Although I don’t have a big yard, I love to go on regular walks and play outside as much as possible. Whether in my home or yours i try to give each pet lots of love, attention, and updates to their owner.
About: I have had my own beloved dogs for 20+ years, and have experience house-sitting and taking care of pets all over the world! As a creative industries business owner, I have the flexibility of working remotely with WIFI access. I am a neat, quiet and organized homebody, and like to spend my time with books and music in the company of loving creatures. I work remotely, so I have tons of flexibility to care for your animals as you like. I am comfortable with all pet care routines. I love to cuddle and care for your pet and can be trusted to follow instructions well - the daily walks are my zen! I am trustworthy and responsible and your fur baby will love me.

We highly recommend Maddy for pet care!”

“Alex and Jeffery were wonderful with our Bella! Such a sweet family they gave Bella lots of love and care! We knew she was well taking care of had great walks and was deeply loved. We felt so comfortable leaving the country knowing she was in such capable and caring hands. They have an incredibly large backyard so lots of room to run and play. We loved the photo updates and knowing how Bella was doing. I highly recommend them. She will be back with them again soon!”

“Nick has been my go to sitter for my 2 pups for almost 2 years now! He always is super flexible with dates and drop off times and last minute boarding requests. His friend Gabe has also been so amazing with the pups as well. He’s brought my dogs along with him on camping trips and outings and I can tell they have so much fun by their reaction when we pull onto his property. I have not used another sitter since I found Nick. The dogs adore staying with him and I love the flexibility Nick has with boarding/daycare and how tired my dogs are once I pick them up from running around the farm all day!”
About: I will take care of your companion in a home away from home, with a loving family environment in a whole house and fenced yard. Walk 3mins to open space where many other dogs go. I'm a mature permanent long term resident of Boulder, where your dog can feel safe and have fun while returning to time and time again. I work for short hours with a flexible schedule during the day, but always spend mornings and evenings at home. I go for walks morning and evening or at different times during the day. I have a fenced back yard, with one small very friendly dog at home. Your companion will be a cared for and any sensitivities will be accomodated in a safe environment.
“Tigran was a great sitter for my active dog Dorsey! I really appreciated him taking him out to play with his other dogs and sharing videos. He was easy to communicate with! Thank you Tigran!”
“If Ruby could talk, I know she would tell me she had the BEST time with Barbara and Mel. From coordinating drop off times, to regular communication and picture updates, Barbara kept me in the loop with how my girl was settling in. I appreciated her responsiveness and thoughtfulness around caring for the special needs of a vizsla. Mel is very well trained, enthusiastic and super generous to share her space with Ruby. I hope Ruby can stay with them in the future!”
“Allison and John were great with our high-energy rescue pup! She became fast friends with their dog and really enjoyed running around the yard. We also loved the photos and updates we got during her stay!”
“Marlow took care of my dog for 8 days at her home, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. One of the things I appreciated most was the daily updates. She sent photos and messages every single day, which meant so much to me because I missed my dog and loved knowing how he was doing. She kept me informed about his activities and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog absolutely loved her large, beautiful backyard. We visited before his stay, and he was already having the best time exploring it. She also took him to the creek, which he loved! It was clear that she spent a lot of quality time with him, giving him plenty of exercise, attention, and cuddles. Her roommate was also incredibly kind and clearly cared about my dog, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in their care. She has a lot of experience handling large dogs with leash reactivity. My dog is a 98-pound Pitbull/Lab mix, and she knew exactly how to work with him and manage his needs confidently and safely. Her experience really showed throughout his stay. I am so grateful for the care, communication, and love she gave my dog. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!”
“Coral did a great job watching my pup Phoebe! She was great with communicating and sending updates, and seemed like Phoebe had an awesome time! Will definitely reach out again 🙏”
“Stephen and family were wonderful caretakers. My dog instantly felt comfortable with them. I greatly appreciated Stephen's communication, flexibility, and questions to better get to know Bodhi. Knowing my dog was in a great place where he was being cared for and loved helped me enjoy my vacation even more. Thanks for a wonderful experience! Will definitely use again!”
“Lisa did an absolutely amazing job of caring for my baby pup! She took him on many walks, sent pictures, and always kept me updated on how the days were going. I highly recommend her! :)”
