“Matt is a great dogsitter who communicates daily with photos of your pet and how they are doing. Our lab (Noelle) enjoyed being there with him and his kids. 10/10 recommended and we will be using him again.”
“Jenay kept my 11 month old dog Lucy for a weekend. This was Lucy's first time being away from home. I appreciate Jenay agreeing to me bringing Lucy a few days early to her home to meet her family. Everyone were loving to my puppy. Jenay kept me posted with pictures. She took Lucy for a walk and had plenty of lap time which Lucy loves. My mind was set at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will use Jenay again and hopefully she is available.”
“Starr was fantastic! My dog is diabetic which requires an insulin injection twice a day. He recently had eye surgery which requires pain meds and eye drops several times a day. She was amazing! She sent photos and messages several times a day showing how he was doing. That reassured me and I was not worried about him so I enjoyed my vacation even more. I have already recommended Starr to two of my friends. I would definitely use her services again!”
“Loya is amazing!! She takes care of our two pups, 3 year old Boston, Louie and almost 13 Year old Frenchie Lola! My 13 year old French is deaf, losing her eyesight and incontinent and requires 5 medicines and eye drops every day and Loya took on the responsibility with no hesitation! We’ve used Loya for boarding and for weekly daycare! Her and her dogs are amazing and I would recommend her highly to anyone!! Thank you Loya and her pups Georgia and Corona!”

“Our dog Dobby just finished her first tryout stay with Daniela. It seems like she had a good time and there weren't any big problems. Daniela kept us in the loop and sent lots of pics during the days. Dobby seems pretty happy with her stay, so we are as well. We will definitely be getting in touch with Daniela again for further dog watching.”
“Memphis loved her boarding experience with Aurora! I was sent with pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay which was greatly appreciated. We will definitely be booking with Aurora again!”

About: I’ve dog sat for family members on multiple occasions. The dogs seen in my photographs are family dogs that have stayed in my home. I will adhere to the preference of pet owners on if the pets can interact with other pets. I work full-time as a remote employee for Royal Canin.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. After recently losing my own beloved dog, I realized how much I miss having dogs around and want to help other pet owners by giving their pets the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with kindness, respect, and lots of affection. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m also available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them attention fits naturally into my routine. Also have a backyard, and I work pretty close to my home which I do have dog cameras! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have a cane corso his name is Drako, he’s crate trained. He’s a big lover boy who always wants to be cuddled and rubbed!

“Shonte was absolutely amazing! I didn’t have to worry about my pups at all, they were definitely in great hands. She kept us updated with photos & videos throughout the day. She really went above & beyond any expectations. Great experience! I would 10/10 recommend!”
“Alex and her family were amazing! She was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. I was almost afraid Cooper would want to stay with them after his two week visit. Photos came regularly. Honestly, she was the best and only rover sitter we will ever use again! Thank you, Alex!”
“Anthony took great care of our girl for a long weekend. He accommodated a late booking request and meet and greet when our other sitter had to cancel unexpectedly. During the stay, he communicated updates and pictures to us daily. Our pup was spoiled with multiple walks per day and given lots of attention. We will be booking stays with Anthony again!”
“I love leaving my poodle, Napoleon, with Kelly. Not only does he get to snuggle with her but her entire family as well. She quick to respond and I get daily photos. She’s my preferred sitter.”

“Desiree did a great job taking care of our cats during the Christmas holiday. The cats were well cared for and very happy kitties. The cats litter was clean and kitties were well fed.”
“Kaylee was so wonderful with our senior cat, Holly! Holly already misses her. ☺️ We knew she would be the perfect fit at the meet-and-greet when shy Holly came out from under the bed to eat treats from Kaylee's hand. Kaylee is very kind and patient with animals. Holly was given playtime, brushing, and treats daily along with her dry food and prescription wet food. Kaylee sent photos and videos every single day at the end each pet-sitting check-in. Her communication was consistent and excellent, allowing us to truly relax when we were on vacation. It gave us reassurance knowing that Kaylee was enjoying her time with our cat and that Holly warmed up to her so quickly. When we got home, we couldn't believe how clean everything looked! Kaylee also brought in our mail and followed all of our instructions for Holly. We will definitely hire Kaylee again without hesitation! She truly has a heart for cats and other animals, and for people too!”
“Andy was outstanding! I booked him very short notice and he came the very next day for a meet-and-greet! I could tell my sweet kitty would like him. During the booking, he showed up everyday at the exact time he said he would and perfectly followed directions. My cat took to him very quickly, showed his belly, and became very vocal—all great signs! Every drop-in report was exceptionally thorough and had soooooooo many pics! I will definitely be booking Andy again in the future! I just cannot thank him enough :)!”

From administering medications to earning the trust of anxious kitties, I provide the gentle, elevated care routines they need to feel safe—plus plenty of interactive, stimulating play for the little goofballs who love to bounce off the walls!
“She did a purrfect job taking care of our two cats, including our older queen with some health issues and medication. It was a last minute request and she handled it easily and with a smile. We'd definitely choose her again in the future. Thanks, Mallory!!!”
“This was our second time with Alex, they did an excellent job with our kitty and my guinea pig! Our kitty is pretty shy but after a few visits she started to warm up to them. Now our kitty can get snuggles when we are gone, especially when she's picky on who she likes.”
“Miya has been incredibly flexible and was able to jump right in and help out when I was left without backup care for my girl. It’s made our transition here all the better. Ruby loves her walks with Miya, and I couldn’t be more happy that she has a new friend in Colorado!”
“Having a total care senior dog can be extremely stressful when planning a trip out of town. My dogs used to be road trip champs but unfortunately due to old age and one handicap, they have to stay behind. From the moment Mason came for a meet and greet both dogs greeted him and were calm and happy in their presence. Masons confidence and willingness to care for my total care senior dog was a relief. I was able to go out of town for 5 days with a peace of mind knowing that they were not only well taken care of but happy as well. I highly recommend him for all your doggie needs.”

He was happy everyday to see Emily and she sent me some great photos that captured Ricky's personality . Ricky was happy to see us and waiting by the back door to greet us when we got home. I highly recommend Emily she is a sweetheart!”

About: Animals have always been a major part of my life from cats to dogs to toads, I love them all. Over the years I have always had indoor cats and dogs in my care that have ranged in age from newborn to senior, energetic to unwell and everything in between. When I’m not caring for my pets or others, I’m a work from home artist and volunteer at the humane society as a foster and dog walker. Take comforting in knowing I would treat your best friend right. Currently I work from home as an artist (predominantly pet portraits) and can set my own schedule leaving me with ample availability for bit time or day and days throughout the week. I have a three acre yard with a large fenced in area, my dogs are extremely friendly and there is lake access that my own dogs use for swimming very often
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10. Have had dogs/cats in my life as long as I can remember and I grew up taught how to treat an animal right and take care for them. I’m currently working part time at a restaurant. I spend a lot of time doing nothing with my cats and after having a conversation with my partners aunt she advised me to do this so here I am ! Unfortunately I have shelter cats who used to be feral so currently in house sitting I cannot do but I’m more then open to going to a customers home.
“I cannot recommend Matthew enough for his exceptional care and attention to detail when it comes to taking care of furry friends. Knowing that your beloved pet is being looked after with such love and care allows you to enjoy your time away without worry. I loved the pics provided and updates. He really made him feel loved and part of his family while dropping in.”
“If I could give more than five stars I would! What a great sitter! Dependable, available, and so professional. Emily is my go-to. And my doggies found a new favorite person ❤️”

“Matt is a great dogsitter who communicates daily with photos of your pet and how they are doing. Our lab (Noelle) enjoyed being there with him and his kids. 10/10 recommended and we will be using him again.”
“Jenay kept my 11 month old dog Lucy for a weekend. This was Lucy's first time being away from home. I appreciate Jenay agreeing to me bringing Lucy a few days early to her home to meet her family. Everyone were loving to my puppy. Jenay kept me posted with pictures. She took Lucy for a walk and had plenty of lap time which Lucy loves. My mind was set at ease and I was able to enjoy my vacation. I will use Jenay again and hopefully she is available.”
“Loya is amazing!! She takes care of our two pups, 3 year old Boston, Louie and almost 13 Year old Frenchie Lola! My 13 year old French is deaf, losing her eyesight and incontinent and requires 5 medicines and eye drops every day and Loya took on the responsibility with no hesitation! We’ve used Loya for boarding and for weekly daycare! Her and her dogs are amazing and I would recommend her highly to anyone!! Thank you Loya and her pups Georgia and Corona!”

About: I’ve dog sat for family members on multiple occasions. The dogs seen in my photographs are family dogs that have stayed in my home. I will adhere to the preference of pet owners on if the pets can interact with other pets. I work full-time as a remote employee for Royal Canin. I’m actively provided breaks, lunches, and planned time that I could take out and feed pets. While my residence is unfenced, the neighborhood is very safe within a small town. The pets will be free to move about inside of the home and I can accommodate if they need to be on a leash even in the backyard.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. After recently losing my own beloved dog, I realized how much I miss having dogs around and want to help other pet owners by giving their pets the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’m patient, responsible, and enjoy walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure every dog feels safe and comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every dog with kindness, respect, and lots of affection. I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, so I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I’m also available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I enjoy staying active, so taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and giving them attention fits naturally into my routine. Also have a backyard, and I work pretty close to my home which I do have dog cameras! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment. I’ll also provide regular photo and text updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. I have a cane corso his name is Drako, he’s crate trained. He’s a big lover boy who always wants to be cuddled and rubbed!
“Shannan did a great job taking care of my dog, our dogs got along great together. She sent updates daily of how he was doing, I will definitely be bringing him back when I need a sitter! Your pet will be in great hands here.”
“Shonte was absolutely amazing! I didn’t have to worry about my pups at all, they were definitely in great hands. She kept us updated with photos & videos throughout the day. She really went above & beyond any expectations. Great experience! I would 10/10 recommend!”
“Alex and her family were amazing! She was extremely easy to work with and communicate with. I was almost afraid Cooper would want to stay with them after his two week visit. Photos came regularly. Honestly, she was the best and only rover sitter we will ever use again! Thank you, Alex!”
“Anthony took great care of our girl for a long weekend. He accommodated a late booking request and meet and greet when our other sitter had to cancel unexpectedly. During the stay, he communicated updates and pictures to us daily. Our pup was spoiled with multiple walks per day and given lots of attention. We will be booking stays with Anthony again!”

“This was my first time using Rover. I was a little nervous, but Nicole was very kind, responded very quickly. Gave me updates with a video! It was a last-minute booking for Fourth of July, and she was very accommodating to me and my dog, which I really appreciated the ladder. Highly recommend!! 😊”
“My puppy had so much with Laura. She sent pictures and updates every day. Laura responds very quickly to inquiries both before and during boarding. I have already booked another stay a few weeks from now. Very pleased with my first time using a dog sitter.”

“Stephanie W was absolutely amazing with our dog, HoneyBun. She treated her like a princess from the moment she arrived and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. HoneyBun was well cared for, taken on walks, and Stephanie kept us updated with pictures, videos, and messages throughout her stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing HoneyBun was in such loving and reliable hands. We could tell she was happy, comfortable, and cared for like family. I highly recommend Stephanie W to anyone looking for a sitter who truly goes above and beyond.”
“Ashley and her family were such good hosts for my doodle, Herman. He is a 1.5 year old big baby. It was evident in the photos and correspondence while I was away that he was getting all the attention he was used to—and more! Ashley was very responsive throughout Herman’s 6 night stay. I highly recommend letting her watch and care for your fur-baby too!”
