“Kelly was great with our cat Buck. She was very thorough in her visit to meet Buck and made sure she understood just what he needed. Her visits were great and from the pics she sent we could see Buck really liked her visits. We’ll definitely have her help us again.”
“Catie was outstanding. Provided updates on arrival time, during the visit, and post visit. Multiple photos and videos shared throughout where my cat was very happy. I had some specific requests to food and location that she handled flawlessly. Highly, highly recommend to anyone seeking a cat sitter in the area.”
“Nikohl took care of Rosie, our young rescue cat over two long weekends this summer and I can't recommend her highly enough! Nikohl stopped by every day to feed and play with Rosie. She sent us updates and pictures and took the time to interact and bond with Rosie -- not easy to do in a short space of time with a cat! We will definitely be calling Nikohl when we're out of town next!”
“It was a joy to have Anjelica watch our cat! She sent detailed updates and lots of photos, which helps ease any worries I have when I’m away. It was clear our cat was not only taken care of but also adored while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for family friends since I was in high school. I was responsible for walking, feeding and playing with them. There was one family I worked for when I was in college who fostered dogs so while they were away during the day at work I would go over for a few hours just to play and give them the TLC they needed to get better. I just moved to Vail for a job. I typically work during the week M-F 8am-6pm with weekends off. I do on occasion have to work a few weekends but will have that indicated on my availability. I will treat clients belongings with respect and give their dog tender loving care doing the specific task I’m assigned like walking or feeding them.
About: I love animals and thoroughly enjoy spending time, walking, and caring for animals. I have had dogs since I was a child and have a lot of experience with a lot different of dog personalities. I currently work a great schedule of 3 days on and 4 days off so on the days I have off I can take your dogs for walks, check on them, feed them and provide them with excellent care! I live in an apartment but have access to trails right out my door. I am a very compassionate, clean, and friendly woman who will take care of your pet and will always do my best to meet you and your animals needs.
About: Life is better with dogs and I often say we don’t deserve them! I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have 4 adorable miniature dachshunds. I wanted 2 more but my partner threw down the hammer on me saying no. I’ve used Rover in the past and had some really amazing experiences and one, not so great experience, so I understand the value in finding the right person to stay, play and take care of your loved ones. I’ve always valued my caretaker sending plenty of photos and videos while I’m away, so I always said if I did this for others, I would do the same! Trust and reliability are the most important things I’ve always looked for in having someone stay in my home with my pets while I’m away, and that’s what you get from me! I am currently retired and am fully available day and night! My partner and our 4 dogs stay at our house in Denver full time, and I stay at my house here in the Vail Valley, so there are no conflicts with my schedule. I would be the only person taking care of your pets! Pets are children. Always have been and always will be in my book. I love to play with, walk and snuggle them. I like to give them the same unconditional love they give us.
About: I am a massage therapist with a very flexible schedule. Needless to say your pups will get lots of rubs! I live about five minutes from Vail Village and am a perfect candidate to help out while you're out enjoying the beauty this lovely town has to offer. Up until this point my experience with dog sitting has been for friends and family. I also walk my managers dog daily during winter (she's not a fan of the snow) I am flexible and easy to work with. More than happy to work with other animals as well as plant watering. I am so excited to meet you and your pups! I work part time as a massage therapist from 2-7 amd 5-8 leaving plenty of time for your doggos and I to explore and enjoy the outdoors. I prefer to have a chat or meet up if possible prior to boarding or house sitting to get to know you, your pets and what is important to you both. Every doggo is different some like long walks while others just want to play. I like to be maliable to their specific needs as well as your requests.
“We had recently moved to the area and were very nervous about finding a sitter for our 19 year old cat who needs medication. Marin was absolutely incredible. She sent updates and pictures, and made sure our minds were at ease the first time we were away from home in our new city. Thank you, Marin! We will definitely be using you again 😊”
“Cleo was a wonderful cat sitter! She was easy to work with and punctual. It was great having someone who loves cats and gave our kitties the care needed when we were gone. If you need a local catsitter in the area I would go with Cleo!”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and reptiles, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for providing exceptional pet care. While I don't currently own any pets, I find immense satisfaction in taking care of and spending time with other people's beloved animals. My last three pets were all giant breed dogs, and I hold cherished memories of each of them close to my heart. I have a special affinity for giant breed dogs, but my experience extends to dogs of all sizes and ages. Each pet is unique, and I understand the importance of tailored care to meet individual needs. Whether your furry friend requires a leisurely stroll, a big hike, or just some quality playtime, I'm here to ensure they stay exercised, safe, and happy. I understand that every pet is unique, and I tailor my services to meet your dog's specific needs. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities. The great outdoors has always been my playground, and I can't wait to share the joy of nature with your furry companion. Hikes and long walks are not just great exercise for the body but also a fantastic opportunity for your dog to use their favorite sense, smell! I believe in providing enriching experiences for your pet. I genuinely enjoy the company of dogs and am looking forward to meeting and caring for yours! Feel free to reach out, and let's discuss how I can provide the best care for your pet. I'm currently a remote full-time student and a part-time massage therapist. My husband works nights, and when I do work, it is during the day. I am home a lot of the time studying for school. Between my husband and I, we can offer your pet frequent potty breaks and lots of walks when housesitting! Safety, trust, and creating a secure environment are paramount in my pet-sitting approach. When I enter your home to care for your pet, I prioritize their well-being and comfort above all else. Some of the ways I achieve this are: I take the time to understand your pet's unique needs, routines, and preferences. By maintaining their familiar schedule and surroundings, I minimize stress and ensure they feel secure in their own home. I understand the importance of trust in a pet-sitter relationship. I am not only experienced but also dedicated to earning your trust. I treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect, and pay attention to specific instructions you provide. I am well-versed in handling unexpected situations. I familiarize myself with the location of essential items such as any pet medications, emergency contact numbers, and veterinary information. Your pet's health and safety are my top priorities. I promise to maintain open and transparent communication with you. I provide regular updates, including photos and messages, so you can stay connected with your pet's well-being even when you're apart. Lastly, I ensure your home stays clean and tidy during my visits. I clean up after myself, and your pet, and maintain a hygienic environment to keep both your pet and your home in excellent condition.
“Valerie did a great job checking in on my cat for the holiday. Sent the sweetest photo and did a great job following instructions. Will be using her again, lucky to have found her!”

“You would be lucky to have Justina watch your pet! I have a dog of my own and every time I go to see her she is always asking me to bring my dog Baxter.

She gives the best love and care for them, and if you had her watching your pet you can rest assured that they are being cared for in the best ways possible. You would not have to worry one bit. Justina is such a sweet, kind, compassionate, caring person and many other positive characteristics that translate into a great pet sitter and owner one day!”

He has multiple dogs himself so he knows how to handle pups and is comfortable around all fur babies. I would recommend Andrew to watch/walk anyone’s dogs.”
