“Makiah is wonderful! She walked my puppy twice for me on a busy day with short notice. Pippa loved her walk and play time with Makiah! I appreciate the stellar communication and detailed reports :)”

About: I had many pets growing up, but I don't currently have any of my own. I love animals and so, for many years, I have filled the pet void by taking care of my friends animals as needed. For 2-6 weeks at a time on some occasions. Its great to know that I'm giving people peace of mind when they are away from their pets. My friends know that their dogs are getting spoiled with outdoor adventures and cuddles on the couch. You shouldn't have to worry about your furry friends when you leave town. Going for a dog walk easily becomes the best part of my day, and so offering my service to folks beyond my immediate friend group seems like a really enjoyable way for me to make some extra cash. I work from home full time, Monday through Friday, and I have a very flexible day-to-day schedule that allows me to provide constant supervision and take frequent breaks throughout the day for sun, exercise, playing and pets. I have a working vehicle that is dog friendly. I am happy to go to the dog park and explore hiking trails, but I also live on a farm and the property is fully fenced in. I have experience taking care of dogs that have recently had surgery and require carrying up/down stairs and lifting in/out of the car, have needed meds both orally and via injection, elderly dogs that need frequent trips outside, and high anxiety dogs that need close contact and attention and don't do well with other animal interactions. I am happy to meet individual pet needs based on health, personality, etc...

“Tarah was a wonderful sitter for our two pups! Highly recommend her ❤️”

“Mallory and Jonathan are the absolute best— in every possible way. My dog is wary of new people but they had her totally comfortable and loving them within the first two minutes!! In addition to their clearly loving and being fantastic with animals, they are also totally reliable, go the extra mile, are mature and responsible, and are just lovely people. I can’t say enough good things about both of them!”

About: Dogs have been my constant companions throughout my life, and I've loved training and caring for them every step of the way. Currently volunteering with the La Plata County Humane Society has only deepened my commitment to animal welfare. Since I work from home, your pet will rarely be alone. I'll keep you connected with plenty of photos and updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in loving hands. Since I work from home, your pet will rarely be alone. I do not have any hobbies or obligations that would take me away from them for more than a few hours. If your pet has any special needs, I am sure I can accommodate. I will care for your pets however you may wish! I love playing with dogs, taking them on walks or to the dog park, or simply lounging at home with them. If your pet has any special needs, I am sure I can accommodate.

“We needed someone to walk our dogs last minute and Katie was happy to take care of them. She responded quickly and was flexible. She did a great job with them!”

“Lori is awesome! Very professional and LOVES dogs! I’m a busy doctor who needed someone to walk my dog during a few days of being on-call for long hours while my family was out of town. I decided to try Rover.com and was very reassured after meeting Lori that my pup was in good hands. She sent me a pic each day when she walked her and that was so relieving to me!! I highly recommend her and will definitely be requesting more stays with her in the future!”

“I have an older dog with a couple issues. Lily was attentive, patient and took time for my dog to get accustomed to her. I’d recommend her to any one and will use her again”

About: Have taken care of dogs and cats my whole life! Never had a year without living with dogs, cats, and the many other lovely creatures I have as pets. I’m all about getting outside with animals and having fun! I’m currently a F+B manager working nights and have Sunday and Mondays off. Every morning, 6am -12pm, open for any adventure and/or pet care. Love taking care of senior dogs and running with high energy pups. I have no fence around my yard and keep all dogs on a leash or tether when outside and always accompanied when outside. I live right on the Animas River and love to walk my pets down. I have a 3 year old female dog Daisy and a 1 year old black male cat named Felix. Both are friendly and love making new friends! Will always take care of a clients pet and home like it’s my own.

About: I am a working professional that will be doing this for some fun and extra income. This will be my first time doing pet care for people I do not know. In the past I have helped friends and neighbors when they were leaving town by watching their animals. In the past I ran my own cleaning business and often did minimal animal care while cleaning homes. I have a dog myself (Indie) and can understand the stress that comes with hiring a pet sitter or kenneling your pet. I hope I can help to provide a stress free option for pet care. You can be confident your animal will be getting the best possible care while you are away. I am offering walks in your neighborhood or longer hikes in the area accompanied by my dog, drop-in visits, and overnight sitting at your home. I wish I could offer boarding at my house but my landlord will not allow other dogs in my home. If you have any questions or would like to learn more about me please don't hesitate to contact me!

About: Hi! My name is Jake. I grew up in a house full of pets and have taken care of them for as long as I can remember. I work full time at Fort Lewis, so I am completely available after 4 pm Monday through Friday with an hour during the day for walk breaks. During the weekend I can be fully available. I am available for any type of house sitting! Whether it be a quick midday walk or week-long stay, I am there to keep your pets comfortable in their home environment, on their schedule.

About: Hello! I'm Red Cross Dog and Cat First Aid certified on top of being around animals my whole life. I love all creatures from zero legs to eight legs! I have experience with just about everything. Nothing bothers me when it comes to feeding and cleaning either. Please note: that my dog comes with me when I house-sit, she is very friendly with all types of critters and will only be there when I am. My work schedule is usually pretty flexible and it's easy for me to do afternoon drop-ins to let dogs out. Summers tend to be busier for me, but I'm happy to work things out with the right person! I have a very friendly dog that would be with me for any petting sitting, but she is great and used to meeting new dogs and being in new places.

About: *UPDATE* I have a 8 month old well-behaved puppy that loves to play and she will need to be with me on long overnight stays. I cannot accept clients overnight without the ability to bring my pup and socialize! Sorry ♥️ can’t leave her! I love animals deeply and genuinely love spending the time with furry friends. I also love being active and outdoors, so would love to do so with your pet. Let me know anything you need, I’m very flexible! I give lots of attention and love too ❤️ My job is flexible so I am able to accommodate whenever you need me for your pet. I love to run and be outdoors so pets that need walking will have a great time! I love to spend time, play with your pet, and make sure they are occupied while you are gone. My cat personally gets very lonely when I’m away and I appreciate a sitter who plays with her. I make that a priority!

About: I have raised 4 Labrador Retrievers from puppies, and have done the same with 2 horses. With that, experience comes a lot of knowledge and love for these animals on a daily basis. This has become a crazy world after COVID, but with each new challenge comes new opportunities. With a flexible schedule at this time, I am available to meet the needs of those individuals who need to get away. At home, my pets are family. The same love, kindness and care applies, if your home is your furry pets oasis, and I have the means to get there in bad weather..

About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, and other pets for extended stays over the past 10 years in my home and within my community. I am able to attune my attention and care to any pet’s specific needs. I have cared for kittens, puppies, and created comforable environments for pets in recovery from various ailments including spay/neuter surgeries. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am a full time online student with an open schedule. I am available mornings, evenings, and nights and I am able to work around your schedule. I am available to provide walks in safe, natural spaces, and create a comfortable environment within your pet’s existing home as well, while respecting your space and adhering to your home’s routines.
