“There are no words to express how happy I am with the level of care my Kane received while visiting with Felicia and her family. Kane was treated like a member of her family. Felicia is the absolute best. If you are looking for someone to take special care of your fur baby I highly recommend Felicia.”
“Winter loves JR. He is our go-to person whenever we need we need to stay with someone overnight. He’s always so caring and sweet with winter that winter comes back home super happy and is always excited to see JR again!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Jill watch my dog over the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From the moment I met her, it was clear that Jill has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet sitting. Throughout the weekend, Jill kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was evident that my dog was not only well-cared for but also having a great time. Jill followed all my instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to exercise routines, and even took the extra step to spend quality time playing and cuddling with my pup. When I returned, my dog was happy, relaxed, and well-groomed, a testament to the excellent care Jill provided. Her reliability, attention to detail, and warm demeanor truly make her stand out as a dog sitter. I highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring individual to look after their furry friends. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”
“I just have to say James and his wife De are AMAZING! We just moved in to town and we’re looking for a dog sitter due to a long trip that we had planned prior to our move. I am always hesitant leaving my pups with new sitters, but during the meet and greet at James’ house, I was instantly set at ease. He reassured the pups would be well taken care of while we were gone and I have to say he went above and beyond. He sent multiple pictures throughout each day and sent message updates to let me know how they were doing. He even spoiled them with extra treats (asked me first of course) and I know they loved it! If you’re feeling any bit of hesitation leaving your pups with someone new I can’t recommend James enough! Even living about 50 minutes from where they are, I will definitely leave my pups with them again and know they are well taken care of. Thank you so much again James and De!”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“If we could give 100 stars we would! Our Baby boy Jaxxson is our fur-son and we have been on the search for someone that would give us comfort when we travel in knowing he is in excellent hands and safe. Delmina and her Husband did just that! This is a beautiful family and they treated our baby boy like royalty. We received so many pictures and videos that we almost felt like we were there with him. We can’t say enough great things about how well this stay went. You won’t be disappointed with how she cares for your pet!”
“Pamela and Barry were extremely warm and kind to my Biggie. I knew from the first meeting that this was the option for me. They treated my dog like he was their very own, which was something that helped me to relax, as this was the first time I'd let anyone outside of family watch my dog. My dog will definitely be back. 10 out of 10, highly recommend.”
About: Experienced. Compassionate. Dedicated to Your Dog. I’m a certified dog behaviorist with over 15 years of hands-on experience fostering, training, and caring for dogs of all backgrounds and needs. My experience includes basic to advanced training, puppies, special-needs dogs, working-line K9s, behavioral challenges, and so much more. I believe dogs thrive when they are given the right balance of structure, mental stimulation, physical activity, and comfort. During their stay, I focus on keeping each dog active, engaged, and happy while also creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. My goal is simple: for every dog to return home happier, more confident, and better equipped than when they arrived. I treat every dog as an individual and tailor their care and training to their unique personality, needs, and goals. Because your dog deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve an experience that helps them thrive. I’m a full-time dog trainer, which means I spend the majority of my time at home while caring for your pets. Your dog will receive hands-on attention, structure, and supervision throughout their stay. Every dog will have a minimum of three outings each day, including potty breaks, playtime, walks, and even some time soaking up the sun if that’s what they enjoy. I believe dogs should have the opportunity to stay active while also having time to relax and feel comfortable in their environment. I start by giving each dog individual one-on-one time so I can learn their personality, comfort level, and needs. Depending on your dog’s temperament and your preferences, they may also be paired with other dogs who are a good match. Group interaction is always based on the owner’s request and what is appropriate for each dog. Interested in park walks or additional outings during your dog’s stay? Please request this in advance. Park outings depend on the season, weather conditions, and whether the activity is appropriate for your individual dog. All outdoor activities are fully supervised. Your dog will also have a consistent daily routine, including scheduled meal times, potty breaks, activity, rest, and plenty of personal attention. For their protection and peace of mind, dogs are crated in their own individual, secure spaces during nighttime and any extended periods when they cannot be directly supervised. This helps prevent accidents, unwanted interactions, and unnecessary stress while maintaining a safe environment for every dog in my care. I also have interior security cameras throughout my home to provide an additional layer of supervision and security while your dog is staying with me.
“This was my first experience using Rover. The service came highly recommended. I did a quick search and Stacy was at the top of the list, with great ratings, and reviews. Everyone paled in comparison. She's only 8 minutes away?!? I contacted Stacy, and she was willing to give my Booboo a chance with a meet and greet. My dog took to Stacey immediately, then came Chloe, "Senior VP of Operations". The meeting went well. And then in comes Mila the super friendly cat. And again it's all good! I've been on the road for years, and for the first time, I did not experience any pet anxiety! My trip was so much more productive without that thought lingering in my head. Stacy would send me three to four updates every day, and I don't know how she does it, but her updates would come at the perfect times, and they would put a huge smile on my face with a comforting feeling in my heart that I can not explain. Booboo and I call her Saint Stacy. I cannot thank you enough Stacy for taking care of my little guy, the great photos, and the awesome updates. It made me so happy to see him become a member of your family!”
“Wow in a word! Richard was the best! I won't lie, never leaving my "baby" with anyone other than my son, I was experiencing some anxiety. From meeting Richard and his wife, at the "meet and greet" and the questions they ask and just the overall interest about my little guy made me feel more comfortable about my planned trip. From the time I dropped him off, no matter the questions I had, Richard always responded in a timely manner. I absolutely loved the daily updates as well-seeing him play, interact and make new friend really did my heart good. The funniest thing is that once home, he slept good for 2 days....wore himself out! I don't have trips planned for the balance of the year, yet I do plan on booking time with Richard for daycare, so that my boy can stay social and make some more friends! Thank you Richard for everything!”
“Yari is the absolute best! Maya took to her right away, and the daily picture mail reassured us that Maya was comfortable and feeling the love! We’ll definitely be booking with Yari again!”
“Always a pleasure leaving our two beloved Chihuahuas with Yanjin. We know they will be well attended in her care and that a gives us peace of mind so we can relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“Heather and her family took wonderful care of our dog! They provided him with one-on-one care as well as plenty of play time with their own dogs. They accommodate our dogs mealtime needs and sent us lots of adorable pictures of our very happy pup.”
“Ryan took our brownie girl a second week in a row for a last minute sitter situation on a holiday weekend. He sent many pics and messaged throughout the days. He made me feel that she was very well loved and took her in like his own. I will definitely use him again!”
“Jess did an amazing job with our dog! He is normally reactive with most other dogs. She was able to acclimate our dog with her other dogs and they ended up getting along so well. She also did a great job with communication. Our buddy came home so happy and you could tell he was very loved. I will absolutely use her again. I could not recommend her enough!”
“Kirsy is very nice and communicative. Her house is warm and welcoming. Leaving your fur baby with a stranger is extremely stressful. Kirsy eased our stress with multiple pictures/video updates daily. She is an amazing sitter and I highly recommend her services.”
“As always, Caylei took excellent care of my disabled boy. This time, she has a bit of an emergency when he was unable to be expressed for urine. She took him with her to work where he had his bladder drained, saving him. Thank you, Caylei, for always being so competent and capable, especially with my special needs guy.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats for the past 5 years. I have learned each cat is different and they all need love. I love making sure they feel comfortable and clean In their own home. I also understand when they just want alone time but still need company!
“Beverly was absolutely amazing, great communication every day with lots of pics. I felt complete at ease knowing my cats were in her care. Thanks for everything, Beverly! You are the best!!!”
“Iyah was very caring for my cats while I was away on a work trip! She went above and beyond to make sure I was updated every evening, and Mort and Maeve loved her! Will definitely book again.”
“Very friendly. Showed up on time and gave the extra effort to care for my four energetic dogs and elderly diabetic cat. Communicated very well and responds quickly. Already have her scheduled again. Dogs and cat loved her!”
About: I love animals of all species- but dogs hold a special place in my heart! I have been dog-sitting for about 6.5 years now, and have enjoyed every furry visitor I've had. I just enjoy sharing space with them! I currently work from home, so I have the ability to give them all the attention they need and take them along for adventures (with permission). I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and making an amazing connection with you both! In seemingly stressful or chaotic situations I’m able to maintain my composure. I find that my demeanor makes dogs feel comfortable and relaxed upon meeting them, so in-home check ins will be smoother for your pet and I! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, I look forward to providing excellent care for your beloved furry friend. I currently work from home, which allows a flexible schedule. I love having a dog over so I have more reason to take a walk. I have an open-space studio where they will be hanging out with me during the day. I always reach out to the client for a meet and greet to discuss their pet's behaviors and needs so I can adjust accordingly.
About: I love dogs and cats too, I got into dog - sitting when I first moved to Georgia and my neighbor went out of town I watched her dog while she was gone and have been dog sitting ever since. I love going out and walking dogs and playing with dogs. I make sure they feel like they are loved and with their owners when I watch animals I love making them even little treats and dinners. Also if you have specific thing your animal eats then you can count on me to make sure they have a good healthy meal, I also am good about giving them their medication. I understand how people love for their animals as if they were their children and I totally get it. You worry about them and want to make sure they are taken care of well. I myself even hate the thought of my animal being alone for over a long period of time because of work or school.
“Sahara was literally an angel who stepped in when a previously hired sitter no showed after I had already left town. She has been patient with my very shy and skittish senior cat who is now enjoying being petted by Sahara. I highly recommend her.”
“My husband and I had used another pet sitter a month or so ago, and that person was unavailable. We reached out to Darlene sort of last minute and she was so wonderful!! She understood our needs so quickly and adapted so well! We have a 8 year old cat who can be grumpy (mostly with the kitten), and she was able to gain his trust in no time. She came twice a day for a week to check in on our fur babies, and brought in packages that arrived as well. Everything was so seamless and allowed us to enjoy our time away. Thank you!”
About: I have indoor and outdoor cats and I can promise to give your cat the love (or love from a distance 😋) that you give them. I know some cats like to snuggle and other cats prefer a hands off approach and I’m glad to help with either!
“Our dogs loved her and they seemed to have a really great time from the pictures that we got! She was very kind and helpful, even with our last minute booking! Would definitely rebook! Thank you Beverly!!”
“Morgan was fantastic! She took such great care of our pets while we were out of town and kept us updated with photos. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Our cat Amelia adored her and clearly had the best time! We’ll definitely be booking with Morgan again for future trips — highly recommend!”
“Alexis was excellent taking care of the pups. She loved on them like they were hers. I felt very comfortable with her in my home taking care of my babies. I highly recommend Alexis thank you Rover for having her as an employee she’s wonderful.”
“Elizabeth was very communicative and took great care of our kitties, including our special needs senior cat. I was very nervous to leave him, but Elizabeth made sure to get him his meds and keep me updated on how he was doing. I would definitely hire her to watch them again.”
“Jennifer was accommodating before we left on our trip to ensure she was a good fit with our pet. Loved her personality, and she was very knowledgable. Our pet was drawn to her right away. While we were away, we received daily updates with pics that showed her very involved with him. When we came home you could tell he was well taken care of. Would use Jennifer again.”
“I've had Taylor come for a few drop in visits. She's wondering with my cat and takes care of any requests promptly and fully. I automate a lot of things, but there's no automating having such a nice person to check on my old gal.”
“Rachelle was amazing; checked in on Janus 3 times while I was out of town last minute. Janus is a very timid dog who requires a lot of reassurance after spending over a year bouncing around shelters and homes. Rachelle was willing to wait for Janus to feel comfortable and made sure she was well loved for while I was gone.”
About: Hi my name is Brittany! I have several years of experience pet sitting. We have one dog- a Lhasa apso (20 lbs)- as well who absolutely loves having friends come and play.

My husband and I both mostly work from home and we have a nice fenced in yard. Please contact me if you have any questions. I would love to care for your pet(s)!

“My fur baby wagged his tail as he went into the house and he wagged his tail as he got into the car.. he was exhausted from a great day. Thank you Felicia!!”
About: We are taking new customers! *PLEASE NOTE* To protect the health of our pets, we require all pups to be fully vaccinated and up-to-date on the following: Flea Prevention, Heart Worm Prevention, Rabies, Bordetella, Canine Influenza, Leptospirois, DHPP. We work from home, so our schedule is highly flexible. We are available for doggy boarding and daycare all days of the week including weekends. We have a fully fenced backyard, along with an open first floor using several baby gates to protect pups from stairs and obstacles. We use crates for bed time to ensure safety.
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and cats, including large breeds and senior pets. I’m comfortable giving medications, keeping an eye on older pets, and cleaning up accidents if they happen outside their normal potty area. I’ve also cared for multiple pets at once, looked after regular clients long-term, and handled unexpected situations when they come up. I’m happy to do overnight stays, too. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I’m totally okay with that. If your dog needs a certain routine before bed, your cat has a specific way they like to eat, or you have some funny little ritual that keeps them happy, I’ll happily follow it. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away, so you always know how your pets are doing. Whether they need a long walk, some playtime, extra attention, or just someone to hang out with, I’m happy to match their energy. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and will always let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’m also happy to help with things around the house while I’m there, like bringing in mail or taking out the trash. If something unexpected or concerning comes up, I’ll contact you right away and follow whatever instructions you’ve left for emergencies. Before a booking, I’m more than happy to meet you and your pets so you can show me their routine and I can get to know them a little. My goal is simple: keep your pets comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away, and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I have a very flexible schedule and can usually work around whatever your pets need. I’m happy to do mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight stays. I’m single with very few scheduling restrictions, so I’m able to be pretty flexible and accommodate different routines and last-minute needs when I can. My goal is to make things as easy and convenient as possible for both you and your pets. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priority. I’m happy to go over a clear emergency plan with you before a stay, including your preferred vet, emergency contact, and exactly what you’d like me to do if something unexpected happens. I currently don’t have any pets of my own at home. I recently lost my childhood pet, so having a companion around would honestly be something I’d really enjoy. Your pet would have my full attention and be treated like my own while they’re here. I’m also very aware of potential pet hazards, including toxic plants and unsafe household items, and I’m happy to follow any specific safety instructions or routines your pet needs.
“Delmina was amazing. I received details about the house and fenced yard. I was updated all day with photos and detailed texts. I will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Anita is always such a delight to work with! She takes such wonderful care of my puppers and keeps me updated on how she’s doing. I am so grateful to have a sitter that provides such good care.”
“We were nervous about leaving our three pups (two older and one puppy) as we had not done it with the two older ones. Yanjin was great and made us and the pups feel immediately comfortable. Their tails were wagging we when arrived to pick them up and seemed to be happy. This was a great first visit and hope to leave them again!”
About: Ive had pets my whole life and I know how hard it can be to leave your furry best friend in someone else’s care. You can rest assured knowing I will take the best care of your babies and will be sure to send lots of photos to put your mind at ease. I grew up with dogs and cats and I’ve seen just about everything you can imagine. I do free meet n greets, so we can discuss any particular concerns or care requirements for your pet beforehand.

I can provide walks, any feeding schedule needed and will be sure to give lots of belly rubs and play time to keep your babies happy while you are away!
“This was my first Rover experience plus my dog’s first daycare experience and I was so nervous at first. Heather and her family took the absolute BEST care of my little guy! Multiple walks a day, slow & controlled introductions to new dogs, off leash freedom in their backyard wonderland and plenty of pictures and updates throughout! Thank you so so much! I’d absolutely recommend Heather to anyone needing a family that truly cares and puts extra importance on your dogs safety and comfort level.”

About: Lost my sweet girl of 10 yrs, one yr ago and miss the pitter patter of 4 little feet in my home. Let me love yours while you are out of town. I am retired and am home all day and night. Would love to have the love of a dog in my life occasionally. Let me love yours. I have a large fenced yard but I would love to take your baby on long walks and if approved by you will be happy to take them to the dog park.
“Winston had a wonderful day with his new friends James, his wife De and their dogs Charlee and Chloe. James did everything we could ask for and more to make Winston's stay a success. We received lots of photos throughout the day showing all the fun Winston was having. That allowed my wife and I to enjoy our day together knowing Winston was being well cared for. This was the first time we used Rover.com and it was a great experience. We will definitely be booking with James again.”

Happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. 😊 I work from home, so I’m around most of the day.

In a client’s home, I stick closely to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel as comfortable as possible.
“Andie took such good care of our puppy! She’s a very scared puppy, and ended up warming up to her and her fur babies. She also got our puppy to stay outside on a yard lead which we’ve had a hard time doing at home! We will definitely be using her again!”
About: With over 20 years of hands on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life, from newborn puppies to gentle seniors, I provide attentive, knowledgeable and compassionate care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. When your dog is in my care, they are treated like family. I take the time to understand their personality, routines, preferences and any special requirements they may have. Whether it’s a high energy pup who thrives on playtime or a senior dog who needs a slower pace and extra comfort, I adjust my approach to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved at all times. I work fully remote from home with a flexible schedule and a huge fenced in back yard. I am available at every bark and call to ensure the pets in my care are given the attention they deserve. Equally important is the emotional care I provide. Dogs are social, intuitive animals, and I make it a priority to give them plenty of affection, companionship and positive interaction. Whether that means belly rubs, quiet cuddle time, or simply being a calm and reassuring presence, your dog will feel secure and cared for in your absence. My goal is to provide a seamless experience for both you and your pet—maintaining consistency with their routine while giving you peace of mind knowing they are in experienced, capable, and genuinely caring hands.

About: Hi! My name is Iyah, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. While I am new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for fur-babies!! I have loved animals of all kinds since I arrived on this earth! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels through previous and current professional work experience at a dog and cat care/boarding business, along with caring for pets in my personal life as well. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming care, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog is different, so I always try to pay attention to their personality, routines, boundaries, body language and needs. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including anxious pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide reliable care, consistent communication, and lots of updates/photos for peace of mind. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I’ll make sure they receive patience, attention, love and genuine care. Your baby will be cared for and loved on as if they were my own. For me to be even more successful in what I do, I love all my clients to give me as much details about their babies as possible, I'm here to accommodate, support and make you and your pet-parent life as comfortable as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 ⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ 🐾 Meet My Pet-Care Partner! For transparency and safety, I want all pet parents to know that my fiancé, Robert, may accompany me for certain bookings—particularly overnight house-sitting stays or bookings farther away from home. Robert and I both work professionally with animals full-time and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. We genuinely love what we do, and your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. 🐶🐱💕 For house-sitting bookings, I may request that Robert accompany me, as I am a young woman staying overnight in an unfamiliar home and area. I completely understand that this is your home, so this will always be discussed with you beforehand—there will never be an unexpected additional guest in your home. You’re also more than welcome to meet both of us during our Meet & Greet so you can feel completely comfortable with who will be caring for your pets and staying in your home. My goal is for everyone to feel safe and comfortable—your pets, you, and us! 🐾🤍 I work two jobs, but my schedules aren't consistent. I'm open to taking care of your babies whenever I am off and whenever I do have free time. I would prefer coming to your home to care for your babies as I do still stay with family who are not as dog crazy and loving as me.
“As most pet parents we were apprehensive about having a dog walker we didn't know. A dog trainer referred us to Rover so we felt better about using the service. The meet and greet with Jenn put us at ease. Today was their first walk. It's no wonder she has so many repeat customers and excellent reviews! She goes above and beyond. We have a challenging situation right now but having her makes one less thing to worry about!”
About: I grew up with pets since I was a baby. I have learned throughout the years how to care and love them differently. I currently own dogs, cats, chickens and birds which I love all so much. I love showing love and comfort to every animal that crosses my path! I would be very appreciative to make your pet feel more loved and comfortable than they already are. I’m working a part time which allows me to care for your pet more often than not. I am almost always available for your pet when needed. I have learned every dog/cat is different and have different needs. I am willing to learn new things. But I can safely put your pet in crates and give them their meds safely!

“Lillie was wonderful! She walked Shenna three days in a row when I couldn't, and Shenna loved her -- was so excited at the door when Lillie arrived. We did hour-long walks that ended up being around 2.5 miles each day, and my girlie always arrived back home happy and tired. I will more than gladly do repeat bookings. Thanks so much, Lillie!”
About: I’m a longtime cat owner and have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve cared for my own cats (Willow and Forest) and also helped care for a family’s dog while babysitting — feeding, walks/potty breaks, playtime, and keeping routines consistent. I’m detail-oriented, respectful of your home, and I communicate clearly with updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Hello! I’m currently attending university and majoring in journalism (public relations concentration) and marketing with a minor in psychology. I’m currently on summer break so my availability is open but it will change once I start classes again in mid August. My care style is routine-based and body-language focused. I don’t force interaction; I let pets settle in and I build trust first, especially with cats. I provide attention and affection when they want it, and I watch closely for cues (hunger, stress, overstimulation, fatigue). I follow all instructions precisely such as feeding, fresh water, litter maintenance, walks/potty breaks, play/enrichment, and any special notes. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and I send updates/photos so you’re never guessing.

About: I have personal and professional experience with watching dogs and I’m a huge animal lover. My rates are low because I’m just starting out on Rover, I’ve only done pet sitting for family and friends. I have a very energetic 2 year old who I spend a lot of time outside with, so they’ll get plenty of playtime. I have lots of time for playing or walking while we’re outside. And during nap times we all get to take a break inside for a couple hours to snooze 💤 I take my dog/s on a walk 2x a day and a few hours for supervised free play, on 1 acre of unfenced yard. Plenty of toys and treats can be provided and no bed or sofa is off limits to any fur baby.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was born. I was raised around a husky-collie, yorkies, and mini schnauzers. I have cared for my family members pets as well. My most recent experience stems from volunteering at an animal shelter. I would exercise dogs of various of temperaments and breeds. I am currently an online college student so I have plenty of time and energy to hang out with your pals! I’m free week days so that time while you’re away at work I can give your dog a happy distraction for a bit until you come home! I find working within a dog’s comfort zone works the best. Whatever they’re happy with while also being safe is the environment I’ll provided. That could be avoiding other dogs or taking slower walks. Whatever is needed I’ll do!
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember — since I was under ten, I’ve been helping neighbors with their pets and have grown up surrounded by all kinds of animals, from rodents and lizards to ferrets, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs. I bring that lifetime of experience, patience, and genuine love to every pet I care for. What sets me apart is that I don’t just provide basic care — I make sure each animal feels safe, happy, and loved, treating them like a member of my own family. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just cuddles, I aim to give every pet the attention and care they deserve. I currently teach special education, with work hours from 7:30 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. This schedule gives me the perfect opportunity to care for your pets either before I head to work or right after I return home. I also have my summers completely open, making me available for vacations, daily care, or extended pet sitting during that time. I’m happy to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care tailored to each animal’s needs. I offer boarding in my home, where your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and playtime while you’re away. I also provide walks and daily check-ins at your home to make sure your pets get exercise, companionship, and care on a schedule that works for them. While I don’t offer overnight stays in clients’ homes, I’m dedicated to making every pet feel safe, happy, and loved.

Imagine coming home to a pet who's not just content, but truly thriving, tail wagging, eyes sparkling, and a little extra spring in their step. That’s the experience I strive to create for every animal I care for. Hi, I’m Laura, a lifelong animal lover who has cared for everything from playful pups to curious foxes. I understand that every pet is unique, which is why I take the time to get to know their personalities, quirks, and routines. Your instructions are my playbook, and their happiness is my mission.

With Colorado’s beautiful trails at our doorstep, every walk is an adventure waiting to happen, and your pet might just find their new favorite sitter along the way. With over seven years of compassionate hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, including seniors and those with medical needs, I am committed to providing thoughtful, reliable, and compassionate care. Each animal’s unique personality and routine are at the heart of my approach, ensuring every pet receives the individual attention they deserve. I understand that some pets have special needs. Whether that means medical care, managing medications, or following a specific routine, I’m here to help. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, including seniors and those with health concerns.

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have always felt a deep love for them. My grandfather had a farm, so dogs, cats, chickens, horses, donkeys, and have loved every moment of being there. Now, my in-laws have a farm with 2 large breed dogs, goats, chickens and a mommy donkey and baby donkey which is my dream to have this as well! First thing in the morning I get my school aged girls breakfast going and the dogs and cats get their breakfast as well. The girls say their goodbyes and give loves before heading to school and the fur babies go in the backyard to play, use the potty and sunbathe or chill in the shade then back inside for some play, cuddles, or just hanging out. I really just go by what each fur baby’s preferences are. I’m a stay-at-home mom and this is my full-time job. So my day-to-day will be with your pet, loving them and caring for them just like or as close as I can to how you love and care for them. We have a large fenced in yard, but the dogs come and go in and out as they please. At bedtime they are in for the night and sleep in their crate or as we get more comfortable and see how they do on their bed or with the person they want to snuggle with that night. ***I do ask that pets are bathed before their arrival, just as a precaution for my pets, home and children. I deeply and sincerely appreciate the understanding in this request.***
About: With over 13 years of experience, I provide a safe, adaptive, and nurturing environment for pets of all ages and energy levels. For senior, shy, and low-energy pets, I offer gentle, slower-paced routines. For puppies and high-energy pets, I provide the engagement and play they need to stay happy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take pride in adapting to their specific needs. Whether they need long nature walks, cuddles, or simply some alone time, they will receive exactly that. To ensure your complete peace of mind while away, I will also provide frequent photo and video updates! As a university student with in-person classes only twice a week, I have a highly flexible schedule. I'm available almost any day of the week for boarding and dog/cat sitting. While my weekly schedule changes based on my studies and schoolwork, any pet care can be placed between them all. If there is a day or time you need me to be available that is not on my availability, I am always happy to negotiate! In my home, I adapt the pets' schedule to the way my home is. I have plenty of roaming space inside, but also outside for pets (leashed) that enjoy being outside and exploring. If your dog is crate-trained and needs to be in theirs, I can easily crate them. I also have 4 friendly cats that can keep your pet company, but if your pet does not like other animals, I also have the layout to keep them safely separated. In my client's home, I simply follow the schedule and rules they have for their pets. If you still feel unsure or your pet needs specific accommodation, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I would like your pet to experience only the highest quality stay/care!

I take the time to build trust with each pet and ensure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have been watching puppies for about four years now, my brother and his wife have had two puppies for about that long, and I play with them all the time. I give them baths, I give them treats, I absolutely adore them with all my heart, and I love them so much. Of course there are boundaries when it comes to them being bad or giving them treats! I am trying to find a side hustle to make a little bit extra money, and I absolutely adore animals, and my schedule is open all the time pretty much! most of the time I will go to my brother’s house and watch the dogs, or they’ll come to my parents, and I will still watch them! I will take them on walks play with them outside, anything.

“I recently had the pleasure of having Jill watch my dog over the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. From the moment I met her, it was clear that Jill has a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet sitting. Throughout the weekend, Jill kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which really put my mind at ease. It was evident that my dog was not only well-cared for but also having a great time. Jill followed all my instructions meticulously, from feeding schedules to exercise routines, and even took the extra step to spend quality time playing and cuddling with my pup. When I returned, my dog was happy, relaxed, and well-groomed, a testament to the excellent care Jill provided. Her reliability, attention to detail, and warm demeanor truly make her stand out as a dog sitter. I highly recommend Jill to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring individual to look after their furry friends. I will definitely be booking her services again in the future!”
“Diana was wonderful. I appreciated that she accommodated our situation on short notice and made modifications so that my dog was as comfortable as possible. Appreciate her flexibility.”
“If we could give 100 stars we would! Our Baby boy Jaxxson is our fur-son and we have been on the search for someone that would give us comfort when we travel in knowing he is in excellent hands and safe. Delmina and her Husband did just that! This is a beautiful family and they treated our baby boy like royalty. We received so many pictures and videos that we almost felt like we were there with him. We can’t say enough great things about how well this stay went. You won’t be disappointed with how she cares for your pet!”
“Pamela and Barry were extremely warm and kind to my Biggie. I knew from the first meeting that this was the option for me. They treated my dog like he was their very own, which was something that helped me to relax, as this was the first time I'd let anyone outside of family watch my dog. My dog will definitely be back. 10 out of 10, highly recommend.”
About: Experienced. Compassionate. Dedicated to Your Dog. I’m a certified dog behaviorist with over 15 years of hands-on experience fostering, training, and caring for dogs of all backgrounds and needs. My experience includes basic to advanced training, puppies, special-needs dogs, working-line K9s, behavioral challenges, and so much more. I believe dogs thrive when they are given the right balance of structure, mental stimulation, physical activity, and comfort. During their stay, I focus on keeping each dog active, engaged, and happy while also creating a safe and comfortable environment where they can truly relax. My goal is simple: for every dog to return home happier, more confident, and better equipped than when they arrived. I treat every dog as an individual and tailor their care and training to their unique personality, needs, and goals. Because your dog deserves more than just a place to stay — they deserve an experience that helps them thrive. I’m a full-time dog trainer, which means I spend the majority of my time at home while caring for your pets. Your dog will receive hands-on attention, structure, and supervision throughout their stay. Every dog will have a minimum of three outings each day, including potty breaks, playtime, walks, and even some time soaking up the sun if that’s what they enjoy. I believe dogs should have the opportunity to stay active while also having time to relax and feel comfortable in their environment. I start by giving each dog individual one-on-one time so I can learn their personality, comfort level, and needs. Depending on your dog’s temperament and your preferences, they may also be paired with other dogs who are a good match. Group interaction is always based on the owner’s request and what is appropriate for each dog. Interested in park walks or additional outings during your dog’s stay? Please request this in advance. Park outings depend on the season, weather conditions, and whether the activity is appropriate for your individual dog. All outdoor activities are fully supervised. Your dog will also have a consistent daily routine, including scheduled meal times, potty breaks, activity, rest, and plenty of personal attention. For their protection and peace of mind, dogs are crated in their own individual, secure spaces during nighttime and any extended periods when they cannot be directly supervised. This helps prevent accidents, unwanted interactions, and unnecessary stress while maintaining a safe environment for every dog in my care. I also have interior security cameras throughout my home to provide an additional layer of supervision and security while your dog is staying with me.
“Wow in a word! Richard was the best! I won't lie, never leaving my "baby" with anyone other than my son, I was experiencing some anxiety. From meeting Richard and his wife, at the "meet and greet" and the questions they ask and just the overall interest about my little guy made me feel more comfortable about my planned trip. From the time I dropped him off, no matter the questions I had, Richard always responded in a timely manner. I absolutely loved the daily updates as well-seeing him play, interact and make new friend really did my heart good. The funniest thing is that once home, he slept good for 2 days....wore himself out! I don't have trips planned for the balance of the year, yet I do plan on booking time with Richard for daycare, so that my boy can stay social and make some more friends! Thank you Richard for everything!”
“Always a pleasure leaving our two beloved Chihuahuas with Yanjin. We know they will be well attended in her care and that a gives us peace of mind so we can relax and enjoy our vacation.”
“Heather and her family took wonderful care of our dog! They provided him with one-on-one care as well as plenty of play time with their own dogs. They accommodate our dogs mealtime needs and sent us lots of adorable pictures of our very happy pup.”
“Ryan took our brownie girl a second week in a row for a last minute sitter situation on a holiday weekend. He sent many pics and messaged throughout the days. He made me feel that she was very well loved and took her in like his own. I will definitely use him again!”
“Jess did an amazing job with our dog! He is normally reactive with most other dogs. She was able to acclimate our dog with her other dogs and they ended up getting along so well. She also did a great job with communication. Our buddy came home so happy and you could tell he was very loved. I will absolutely use her again. I could not recommend her enough!”
“As always, Caylei took excellent care of my disabled boy. This time, she has a bit of an emergency when he was unable to be expressed for urine. She took him with her to work where he had his bladder drained, saving him. Thank you, Caylei, for always being so competent and capable, especially with my special needs guy.”
“Xionella was an angel. Our original sitter cancelled last minute and she was so quick to help us out. She's the only sitter who offered to meet at a dog park so our fur babies could warm up to her before we dropped them off. She was even kind enough to send us updates, photos, and video chat! I loved that she took them to the dog park, was extremely patient and understanding, and careful when administering our senior pup's meds and safety care. Will be back for future playdates with Groot!”
“We used Jennifer's services for an overnight stay at her home. Jennifer was great to work with and very flexible around our schedule. Our pup Sadie had a great time! I would definitely use Jennifer again.”
“Tevin was great. He took care of my pup O.J. for boarding, and when I came to pick him up, O.J. honestly didn’t want to leave. It was clear he felt comfortable and well taken care of. I’d recommend Tevin to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again.”
“Johanna and Jerald took wonderful care of our two dogs while we were away. They were so kind and caring and sent pictures throughout the week to keep us updated on how they were doing. Their dogs got along great with our two and we just couldn’t have asked for anything better. They were treated so well, we were afraid they might not want to come home! We definitely recommend Johanna and Jerald and look forward to having them care for our “fur babies” again!”
