Pet Sitting Ward

“Kind, great with pets, observant and communicative”

About: I’m Leo. Your dog will get walks, play, photos, and real company, not an empty house. I won’t only do these things because they need it but I’m happy to. I go hiking or biking almost every day. All sizes. I’ll follow your routine. You get updates the whole time. Request a meet and greet and we’ll go from there. I bet ill love your dog more than they love me. I’m a sophomore living on the Hill in Boulder. Most days look the same, which is good for dogs. I walk to campus for about an hour of class in the morning. Then I come straight home. I make lunch, take your dog out, hang on the floor with them, throw a toy, or just let them nap next to me while I study. That stretch in the middle of the day is a few hours, so they are not sitting in an empty place waiting. Afternoon class is one to two hours. Same thing after: walk home, another outing, water, treats, and time together. Nights I am home. Your dog will not be alone for more than two hours. If they need a mid-day walk, extra play, or just someone in the room, that is already built into how my day works. I’ll treat your dog how I’d want mine (really my mom’s) to be treated. I'm happy to give you access to my Amazon Alexa so you can see and maybe even interact with your dog. My place on the Hill is set up for dogs first. Doors stay shut, trash is put away, cords and anything chewable get picked up before a guest arrives. If I have your dog, they are not loose in a room I have not already checked. I do a meet and greet so we both know the vibe before any overnight. I follow your rules on food, crate, meds, and where they sleep. I do not leave them loose with the front door or windows open. When I leave for class they are either crated if that is what you want or in a safe closed-off space, and I am never gone more than two hours. Trust for me is simple. You get photos and a short update when I get home and when we go out. If something feels off I tell you right away instead of hoping it blows over. If you also have a cat, I keep them separate from dogs unless you say they already live together. Litter, food, and a quiet room stay theirs. I do not force handling. I let them come to me. The goal is a calm house, not a chaotic one. I live alone in an apartment, so I’m happy to have your pet as a buddy.

“Pete is a fantastic communicator, is so professional, and is so good with our pups! He easily handled their excited energy and even came a bit early to check in on them after I told him one of them had an upset stomach. We highly recommend Pete!”

“Jennifer did such a fabulous job caring for my two cats while we were away! They have radically different personalities and energy levels and Jennifer did such a wonderful job meeting their individual needs and making sure they got all the attention and play they needed. She also took the most beautiful photos of our guys. I always get nervous when we have to leave them alone but her promptness, relaxed personality, and attention to detail really put us at ease. I would definitely recommend Jennifer!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and truly love spending time with them. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. I treat every dog like my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your pet attention and care. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and sitting. I’m reliable, responsive, and will always prioritize your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I pay close attention to routines, behavior, and any specific instructions you provide. I create a calm, safe environment and make sure your pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for at all times.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I am currently a full time student without a flexible schedule. I don’t have a job, so I have plenty of availability for your dogs. I have a dog back home who is truly my best friend, and I miss him so much while I’m away. I’ve always absolutely loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I would love to play with your dogs, take them on walks, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never lonely while you’re away!

About: I have had pets ever since I can remember: dogs, cats, and fish. I have experience with bigger dogs and puppies. I own a beta fish as well, and have had them on and off for about 8 years. I am in school right now, I attend the University of Colorado Boulder, so I am busy from 12:30-4:30 every weekday. On weekends, I am free all day Saturday and Sunday. In my home, we have dog bowls and treats available, as well as fresh water. We also have a park next to our house for walks. In the clients home, I will be incredibly respectful of your space and be sure that I know where everything is located for the animals so I know they can get the best care while their person is away!

About: I’ve worked at my mom’s grooming shop in Evergreen (soggy dog) every summer for the last 4 years, while petsitting for a lot of the dogs in my neighborhood. Personally, I have an elderly dachshund and a standard poodle puppy, so I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. It’d be a pleasure to take care of your pets! I’m currently a student at CU, but my schedule is pretty flexible. Inquire about what days I’m needed, and I can work with you! I can’t offer my own in-home services due to my college living situation, but I am obviously willing to take care of your pets in your own home. I have a car so I can arrive fast in case of emergency, and venture far if needed.

“Aspen was a great pet sitter for our two cats. Very responsive and communicative, clearly comfortable with cats, and managed to coax out our shy cat who normally hides from strangers. We would definitely book Aspen again for cat drop-ins.”

“Was available super last minute and was able to hang out with Dice and Teddy for a little!”

About: I grew up always surrounded by cats and dogs in my house and experience working in an animal shelter. I love all pups! Any breed, size or age😊💕 I am an Elementary School Teacher with hours 8-2:30 in boulder. If this works for your pups schedule we will have a great time!! Plus full availability after work and on weekends I care for other peoples pets as they are my own because that is how I would want someone to treat mine! I am caring and kind to all animals.

About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!

About: I just moved back to Colorado from Southern CA where I used work for a non-profit where I train dogs to become service dogs for individuals with disabilities! I can handle large groups of dogs and love giving special attention to any pet :) I had cats and dogs growing up and during college, I watched many of my friends’ dogs for a few hours, up to a few weeks. ** message me if you have scheduling questions! I can be more accommodating than this app’s calendar :) I work full-time, so I am looking to help watch pets on weekends and over the upcoming winter holiday season. I am comfortable staying at a client's home and doing longer-term pet care as long as the animal can be alone during the day for an 8 hour work day. If your home is near Oceanside, I can stop in during my lunch break to let your pets out to toilet. I will keep dogs on leash unless in a trusted, enclosed area. For safety reasons, I will not be using a Flexi-leash. I will always make sure your pet has ample clean water. I am more than happy to send photos and updates on your pet while they're in my care! As of July 12, I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross, and for my job, I have been trained to be alert to allergic reactions and typical dog stats.

“Amber helped with a very last minute request and I am so grateful for her!”

About: Hi! I'm a dog-lover who currently lives a lifestyle not condusive for a dog. I use Rover as an outlet to love on other people's dogs, and fulfill this yearning I have for dog companionship. I let out my dog love on my Rover dogs. And cats! I'm a cat parent of a 15 year old kitty, and I've helped raise numerous foster cats. Needless to say, I'm crazy for cats😻 If you have a pet other than a cat or a dog, I'm fairly open-minded! It's always worth asking! Oh yeah, the other things you probably want to know... I have reliable transportation (and I don't mind if I get nose paintings on the inside of my windows). I have a natural tendency to leave places cleaner than I found them. It's not unusual for me to leave behind homemade meals, loaves of bread or cookies...if time allows. Kitchen crafts allow me to spend quality time at your home with your pet, and brightening others' lives brings me so much joy🥰 I am a substitute teacher with a flexible schedule. I naturally wake up early (which dogs seem to love!). I love being outdoors and spending time with pets in my downtime! I am good at following instructions, and I always have the upmost care and respect for your home. Please let me know about any specific needs during the initial Meet & Greet - any behavioral issues, quirks, or particular training words to use. Don't worry about being too detailed! Until I get to know your pet, all your insight is helpful.

“Drop-in visits have been a big success. Taylor loves Kat! Seems to know she’s “his person” and shows great affection for her. Hopefully, Wookiee, the tortie, will feel the same when she comes out of hiding.”

“Brooklyn justarted watching our dog River and he is amazing! She is young and full of energy, and he manages to tire her out a bit and work her brain with some training. She is a calm and happy dog when we get home. So glad we found Brooklyn!”
