“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!”
“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.”
“Our pup had a great weekend at Mitzi’s! She sent us photos throughout and gave us feedback on how he did when we picked him up. She has a huge fenced in yard and really cares about the dogs!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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.
“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🤗”
“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!”
“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!”
“Victoria is am amazing sitter! She kept my very attention hungry dog Luna comfortable throughout Luna’s stay, and the daily photo and video updates were much appreciated. Luna will definitely be staying with Victoria again”
“I had a very positive experience boarding my two cats with Siddhi. She was responsive and professional, sending daily photos and updates to keep me at ease. Her home was clean and spacious, even with other cats around, and she made sure my cats had cozy, safe spots to relax. I’d happily recommend her to anyone!”

“Ashley was terrific. Reliably showed up at the agreed days, sent pictures, was great with the cats and even took care of mail & packages. We will certainly be looking to use her services again in the future.”
“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!”
“I give Lori my highest possible recommendation as a pet sitter. She is incredibly attentive and genuinely cares for the animals under her watch as if they were her own. While we were away, she provided us with regular photo updates, which gave us immense peace of mind and allowed us to see our pets were not just safe, but truly happy and content. Her obvious passion for animals and her professional reliability make her the first person I will call for any future pet sitting needs!”
“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!”
“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!”

Each visit is tailored to your pet’s routine and may include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, medication administration (if needed), playtime, enrichment, and plenty of love and attention.

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.
“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 !”
“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.”
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.
“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!”

“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!”
“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: 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.

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.
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.”
“Definitely recommend and will use Brandi again to look after my dogs. I was able to go to work with a great sense of peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in exceptional hands. 6 stars if I could!”
About: Many years of house and pet sitting in a variety of locations and with multiple animals. I value giving care with love and knowing my clients can feel safe and comfortable leaving their pets with me! I currently do not have pets so this will help to fill the void in my heart until the day I can have one of my own. Thank you in advance!! Brings joy to my day! I am devoted to creating the time to care for your pets. My schedule is very flexible and I can accommodate you and your pets needs. I am attentive and caring in nature, I will make sure whatever needs of each individual pet are, they are met. I am fun, adventurous and respectful to not only what the pet needs but how the client wants the pet to be taken care of.
“My 1 year old puppy has visited Amy for two different days of daycare recently. He came home exhausted (which is great) and seemed to enjoy himself. I appreciate that she tolerates his puppy behavior and that he is allowed inside too, instead of being stiuck in a kennel or crate. Amy has a great property for dogs to have fun. Looking forward to more visits.”
About: With a lifetime of animal love and care, I was most recently a doggie foster parent. This gave me experience with both behavioral and medical care, and raised my personal bar for doggie care. I truly enjoy the company of animals, and working predominantly from home, my partner and I are able to take breaks for walks and drop ins as needed! We have two SWEET dogs at home - who haven't met a dog they didn't love- that could join in the walk, or we could go solo with your pups! Working primarily from home, my partner and I are nearby for walks and visits. It's a win-win for us (and if wanted, our two sweet dogs!) to get outside and enjoy the fresh air! On the weekends I may leave the house between 1-4 hours at a time. I am a naturally empathetic persom, so it's important to me that your feels loved, secure, and has a blast on our walks and visits!
“Steven was a great rover! We had a last minute cancellation and he was gracious enough to take us last minute for day care. I have an old 3 legged dog and a young energetic dog and he gave them their own individual attention based on their different needs. Constant updates about walks and playtime with photos made me very comfortable leaving my boys with him. A little pricey but we totally understand considering the late notice we gave. Would use Steven again!”
“Jen was great with Joshua! She sent updates throughout the day and was very accommodating with my drop off and pick up times. My dog seems very happy after his visit there. Also very convenient location for a ski day when coming from Denver area.”

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!
“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!”
“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.”
About: Reliable Dog Walker Hi! My name is Katie, and I offer reliable dog walking services in the area. I love dogs of all sizes and breeds and enjoy helping keep pups active, happy, and well cared for while their owners are busy. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or following a specific care routine, I always make sure pets feel loved, relaxed, and stress-free.
“Melissa walked my pup multiple times/day over a couple of long work days and she was wonderful! Her communication was clear, she offered to meet my dog ahead of time, and I felt super comfortable trusting my pup with her. I'd definitely recommend, and will be using her services again in the future!”

“Amber has done a great job with our pups so far! They both seem very happy when we get home, we look forward to growing our relationship with her and her family. Thank you Amber!”
“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: 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.
About: Hey, I’m Natalia! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something that comes very naturally to me. I grew up in a home with rescued cats my whole life, where caring for animals was always part of everyday life. I currently live in a home full of six cats, all totally spoiled with completely different personalities, quirks, and needs. I genuinely love getting to know each animal individually and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that suits them. One of my cats also has a disability, so I’m very familiar with being patient, attentive, and adapting care when needed. I grew up with an Old English Sheepdog who I adored, and I cared for him all the way into his old age. When his health declined, I took on everything from helping with mobility to changing his diapers and treating bed sores. That experience really shaped the way I show up for animals, especially when they need extra gentleness. I live in a large home with my siblings and a roommate, so there’s always a loving, calm environment and plenty of attention to go around. Even when I step out, my cats are never without company, which means they’re used to consistent care, interaction, and a very social atmosphere. I run my own business, which allows me to work remotely from home or wherever I am and gives me a flexible schedule, so I can work around what you and your pet need. While a lot of my experience has revolved around cats, I’m very open, intuitive, and willing to learn each dog’s personality and routine. I’m naturally very detail-oriented and will always do my best to follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. Please let me know whatever I can do ahead of time to help you and your furry friends feel comfortable whilst in my care! My schedule is very open and flexible, as I run my own business and work remotely from home which allows me to be available for a variety of routines and special care needs or instructions for your pets. I’m happy to accept same day bookings and work around yours and your pet’s schedule, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or specific visit times, I always do my best to be consistent and reliable! I understand that every pet has different needs and comfort levels, and I always prioritize their safety above all else. I’m happy to accommodate your preferences, whether that means keeping pets separated, maintaining indoor routines, or following specific care instructions. Clear communication is extremely important to me, and I’ll always make sure we’re aligned so your pet feels safe, secure, and well cared for.
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’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
About: I provide loving, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs, including blind and deaf dogs. With patience, experience, and compassion, I ensure they feel safe and loved. I have extended breaks at work that allow me to take the fur babies out during the day and spend time doing their favorite things while you are away!! I always check with the clients preferences, along with the pet preferences, and treat every animal as their own! Personalized care for your furry babies.
About: I have been babysitting and taking care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I got my own dog child 5 years ago. I have no trouble with large or small pups! I love to get in some sort of outdoor activity everyday and having a fun companion with me makes it even better! I work full time but am pretty flexible with my schedule. Everyone takes care of their dog differently. Meeting your expectations is important to me. Depending on those expectations, that is how I will take care of your dog.
“Jillian has been a wonderful resource for us when we need help with our pups. She's reliable and flexible in accommodating schedule changes. But, most importantly, she's treats our really well, and they adore her and her family too.”
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'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.

“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!”
“Our pup had a great weekend at Mitzi’s! She sent us photos throughout and gave us feedback on how he did when we picked him up. She has a huge fenced in yard and really cares about the dogs!”
“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!”
“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!”

“Allie and Jason were amazing with Clara! We got pictures and updates multiple times a day about how things were going and what they were up to which was greatly appreciated - communication was the best we’ve ever had. They took Clara on adventures and she came home happy and exhausted, exactly what you want. Could not recommend them enough, we are definitely using them again in the future!”
“Julia has been really great and sent me tons of photos of my doggie. I felt confident having Julia watch my dog for a couple of days. Great communication and friendly. Thank you!!”
“Denae was just great with our beloved Lab, Pearl. She was very flexible on drop off and pickup times, and also willing to do a meet and greet beforehand. We would definitely have Pearl stay with her again! FIVE stars!”
About: I grew up with big dogs all my life (mastiffs specifically), which sparked my love for animals. From about May 2021 to August 2022 I fostered rescue animals, and in that time, I was able to help ~50 different animals. How did I do that exactly? Well, my house was a small shelter, as some people liked to call it, we had an open-door policy for any animal in need. With that being said, I have had experience with big dogs, small dogs, energetic dogs, reactive dogs, scared dogs, tripods, entire herds of puppies and kittens etc. There really was not a dog I couldn't handle, and I loved them all. Now I foster for a big dog rescue so my specialty is the XL doggies. I have a Great Dane foster fail of my own now. In addition, I have had endless experience giving dogs/cats medicine and know every dog has their quirks, so really nothing will surprise me or be too much. ASK ME ABOUT MY ANIMAL WEDDING CONCIERGE SERVICES Currently home 24/7 so I can attend to all your pets needs. Me and my dog engage in daily walks; regular exercise can be expected. Dogs: To ensure safety, I can feed dogs separately or crate them during mealtime—whatever works best based on your preference. For flight-risk or reactive dogs, I take proactive measures to prevent issues before they arise. While your dog plays or goes potty, I’ll stay outside with them to ensure no one tries to escape or gets overly feisty. I’m also mindful of maintaining a hazard-free environment by keeping items like toxic plants, choking hazards, or unsafe materials out of reach. Every dog has unique quirks, so I’ll always ask about your pup’s personality and the best ways to accommodate their needs. Dog walking: I prioritize safety by keeping a respectful distance from unfamiliar dogs, as it’s impossible to know how friendly or healthy they are. To keep walks engaging and fun, I like to explore different routes, providing new experiences each time. I adjust to your dog’s pace, whether they prefer a casual stroll or a brisk walk. Additionally, I allow your dog plenty of time to sniff and explore, which is mentally stimulating and helps them return home relaxed. I stay alert to ensure their surroundings are safe throughout the walk. During hot weather, I’m cautious about pavement temperatures, testing surfaces with my hand and avoiding asphalt to keep your pup comfortable and safe. Cats: For cats, safety is my top priority. If your feline friend is an escape artist, I’ll be extra vigilant to prevent any breakouts. If your cat tends to nibble on things they shouldn’t, I’ll make sure their environment is safe and free of hazards. I have experience caring for cats of all ages and needs, including administering medication when necessary. I also strive to create a calm, stress-free environment by maintaining their routine and respecting their unique preferences. Safety, Trust & Environment: I always ensure your pet’s environment is clean, comfortable, and free of hazards. Food and water bowls are refreshed regularly, and I create cozy spaces for rest and play. If I’m administering medication, I follow your instructions exactly to ensure your pet’s health and safety. Communication and trust are central to my care. I’ll provide regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. I take the time to build a relationship with your pet, ensuring they feel secure and happy in my care. Whether your pet is full of energy or prefers quiet time, I tailor my approach to meet their needs and provide enrichment to keep them content.
“The setting was perfect for my German Shepherd. He had lots of outside space to roam. Amy has two fenced in areas that my dog loved. We will definitely use her in the future. Stephanie D.”
“Mike was a fantastic sitter. He made sure to send updates every morning and night, with pictures. He has a great little family and they are super accommodating. My flight got cancelled due to a huge storm and ended up landing at 4am the next day. He allowed Moose to stay an extra night with no problems whatsoever and really made me feel comfortable about where my dog was while I was dealing with a super long night of travel. I would absolutely recommend”
“Tyler and his wife were great and took wonderful care of our girl for the week. A big thanks to their dog Max for keeping up with her puppy energy! I will definitely use Tyler for all our future pet sitting needs💕”
