About: Hi! I’m an experienced and compassionate animal caregiver with over 18 years of hands-on experience. I started young, helping neighbors and friends with their pets, and eventually expanded into caring for farm animals and equines. For nearly a decade, I worked in a professional role providing specialized care to horses, including senior care, training, feeding, wound treatment, medication administration, and emergency response. I’ve also volunteered for more than five years at animal shelters, gaining experience with dogs, cats, and animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m especially skilled with senior pets, animals with medical needs, and those who need a little extra TLC. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or even livestock—I’ve done it all and love it all! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and bring a calm, confident presence to every interaction. What sets me apart from other sitters is the depth and breadth of my experience. With nearly two decades in animal care—including specialized work with senior pets, equines, and farm animals—I bring a level of skill and confidence that ensures pets are safe, comfortable, and well-cared for in any situation. I’m trained in medication administration, wound care, and emergency response, and I approach every animal with patience, respect, and compassion. Whether your pet is young and energetic or older and in need of extra support, I’m able to meet their unique needs with professionalism and genuine love. I get off work around 3 PM, which leaves my afternoons and evenings wide open for drop-ins, walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. I’m also available for overnight stays if your pet needs more consistent care. I’m open on weekends and very flexible with my schedule, so I can easily work around your pet’s routine. My priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away—without disrupting their normal day-to-day life. I have open availability on weekends. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, I prioritize comfort, safety, and consistency. In your home, I stick to your pet’s usual routine—feeding, walks, medication, and bedtime—so they feel secure and relaxed while you’re away. I’m not intimidated by extra tasks; if your pet has an accident, needs extra cleanup, or if the trash needs to go out so your home smells fresh when you return, I’ve got it covered. I always go above and beyond because I want you to come back to the same home you left—just with a happy, well-cared-for pet waiting for you. I also provide regular updates and photos, and make sure each animal gets personalized attention, love, and care. It’s a full package, and your pet is treated like family every step of the way
“Nuvia was great taking care of our cats. She asked the right questions for things we hadn't thought of too, so she was super prepared. We will definitely book her again in the future.”
About: I have always felt a special connection with animals and grown up my whole life in a pet household. I have always had cats and small pets but it wasn’t until 5 years ago I finally got my own dog. We rescued him from a traumatic past so he had a lot of anxiety and fear. It taught me so much about caring for a more special needs pet that provided me with more patience, discipline and understanding for animals. I also have an adult cat and these two animals collectively make me so happy. These experiences have led me to want to give back in some way as a pet caregiver! I promise to give your fur babies the best care and love possible and to leave your home as if it were my own! I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse but have my weekends and nights and two week days free! This schedule while my work days are busy allows me ample time off to care for your pets. Knowing any specifics about your pets such as routine, feeding, potty schedule, medications, personalities, etc is helpful in knowing how to provide the best care possible for them. Whether it is a drop in visit or going on a walk I promise to leave your pet more enriched and fulfilled after the visit than before!
“Megan was very communicative about the timing of her visit, and was accommodating to my making a few last minute changes. She sent me a cute picture of my little kitten playing, and I did not return home to a smelly litter box or hungry cat. Would definitely recommend to others and book with her again!”
About: I know that it is worrisome to let a stranger handle your dog/cat or housesit, so I will start by introducing myself. Hi, my name is Brandon. I was born and raised on Guam, and I graduated from the University of Portland in Oregon in 2019. I currently live in Denver, Colorado, and I am a 3L law student at the University of Denver who only has online classes at the moment. I am also a licensed real estate agent who helps people buy and sell homes while building generational wealth and equity. Aside from my dogs, I have taken care of other dogs and have housesit for relatives, friends, and neighbors while they were at work or on trips. While I was in college, I couldn’t bring a dog or cat into my family, so I am hoping to help other people take care of their family pets when they are busy or when they need to go on a trip. I am dependable and trustworthy and will treat your dog/cat/pet and your house as my own. I want to ensure an amazing experience for both you and your pet and create a warm and loving environment for your pet while you are away. I have a love and passion for dogs and cats, so if you ever need help, please send your pet my way, and I will do the best that I can to make sure everything runs smoothly for you and that your pet has the best time ever. I know how to follow instructions and will make sure that your pet and your house are safe and in good hands. I know it's hard to know somebody from just words, so I can't wait for a Meet & Greet with you and your dog or cat if you feel that I am the right fit. I have online classes, so I am home for the entire week. I only have morning classes and can then spend the rest of the days with the dogs. I have an unfenced yard but am working on getting it fenced in. I allow dogs on the furniture and bed and am always home to make sure I’m there to watch the dogs.
About: I have work with animals since high school in a dog day care. I know pet CPR and how to handle a pet emergency. I worked on a farm for 4 years, so I have a lot of hands on experience and used to be an assistant manger at two dog day cares and a vet technician for a few years. Currently now I am a dog loving groomer, Last but not least I am trained on how to give dogs medications and insulin shots. I am here just to continue my work with the animals. I’m currently a part time groomer. So I have free time to entertain any pups. Would love to use my extra time with anyone’s fur baby. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs of my own. I prefer doing drop ins and walks if needed. I can watch small dogs in my home.
About: Pet care is self care!! I’ve had pets since as long as I can remember and have gravitated towards animals (and they to me) my whole life. I am a registered nurse with 11 years of experience caring for critically ill people; and am taking a step away from full time patient care to care for my favorite people, ANIMALS! Caring for animals (and plants) really is my self care; it brings me so much joy to connect with and care for animals of all kinds. I have cared for dogs, cats, guinea pigs and plants (which is also an area expertise of mine). I have experience caring for and loving animals of all ages and can give oral medications, am comfortable giving medications via other routes if we discuss this process first. I’m not sure why I didn’t start a career with animals much sooner than now because I enjoy animals more so than I do people (I think this also stems from being at the bedside with people, especially during the pandemic). I will love and respect your pet as I would my own. I will respect your home and ensure the safety of your family by wearing a mask and washing my hands frequently. I look forward to being one of your animal’s favorite people. I have a very flexible schedule so let me know what works for you! With the exception of after 5 pm when our daughter winds down for bedtime. I will not be offering pet care services at my house because I have a dog that loves people but doesn’t enjoy being around other dogs I would be happy to care for your pets in your home as needed. If there are pets other than cats or dogs there will be a separate charge that I will request via Venmo since there is no way to charge for this on Rover. The cost of this will depend on the number of animals and the maintenance/care they will require, please reach out with questions. In addition, if there are requests for other house duties, I.e. shoveling, laundry I will add-on a surcharge per request via Venmo.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout my life, so family and friends can count on me to take care of their with pets no hesitation. I am currently working out and have multiple training sessions but despite that I am available during the week to spend time with your pets. I’ll always keep an eye on your pets. I have a backyard with plenty of play space, also I live right next to a trail.
About: With 25 years of hands-on experience, I offer unmatched dedication, intuition, and love – treating every pet like family with personalized, reliable, and heartfelt care. I am currently retired and ready to care for pets Monday through Friday. I am available during core your working hours, offering peace of mind. I provide drop-ins, walks and housesitting. Pets enjoy a clean, loving home or familiar environment with consistent routines, cuddles, playtime, and personalized care. Thank you

DeAndra N.
“DeAndra is a true dog lover! We met when my bulldog and her Pug became best buddies! She subsequently adopted my foster, a beautiful Australian border collie who i absolutely adore! I would never have allowed anyone who I didn't trust 100% to adopt my foster... I actually hoped an adopter never came along because I was so attached to her. However, seeing DeAndra with Sunshine was instant chemistry; they belonged together. DeAndra rescued another dog after her handsome pug crossed the bridge. Bella had trust issues, but DeAndra showed extreme patience and commitment to help her break out of her shell! Bottom line is i would trust DeAndra with my dog and I don't trust anyone, even family, to care for him as well as I do... DeAndra is the exception who I totally trust.”
