About: I’m currently a caregiver for my mom, which gives me the flexibility to offer attentive, unrushed care for your pets without being tied to a strict clock-in, clock-out schedule. I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and other critters since childhood. Throughout college and during full-time work, I provided house and pet sitting for long-term clients—some with up to three dogs and two cats. These stays ranged from short weekend trips to week-long visits, and I always made sure pets felt safe, comfortable, and loved. I also used to care for my former landlord’s two senior dogs, one of whom needed daily medication, whenever she traveled. These experiences helped me become calm, observant, and trustworthy—qualities that animals naturally respond to. I wear two hearing aids due to hearing loss, which has actually made me more in tune with pets’ body language and non-verbal cues. I’d love to care for your pets like they’re my own and give you peace of mind while you're away. I moved out of state from California and lived in Colorado for almost 2 years. I’ve been looking for slower pace of work, after working in corporate and law offices for last 10 years. I’m interested in being more of an entrepreneur and doing my own business eventually down the road. I usually do what’s comfortable for your pets, so they are comfortable. If I’m house sitting with your pets, I clean up after myself and ensure everything is like you left it, but better since I’m doing some cleaning to whatever I used. 😉
“Emily was so prompt and accommodating. This was the first time we used Rover, and the first time we left our kitties for more than an overnight stay. Emily asked all the right questions and respected our choice not to have any photos taken during her stops. Thank you thank you, Emily! Whatever Rover is paying you, it probably is not enough! 😁”
“Our two cats do not get along. Despite their territorial spats, Patrick has somehow managed to get our trouble makers to play nice! I am astounded to come home from our trips to find the cats as best buddies. Our home is automated for food and water, but the mental stimulation from quality playtime is something you cannot simulate from a machine. According to our two cats, they give him 4 paws up! You can expect from Patrick a sitter that follows directions, thoughtful comments, excellent photos, and reliable availability. Thank you!”


About: Since I met my other half, he opened my heart to not only him, but his pack. I’ve been helping along side him the last 7 years helping care for our pups and others animals as well. I know how it feels when going out of town or a busy day at work and worrying about how your pet is at home. I’m here to help ease your mind! I’m currently working from home. I’ll have a lot of flexibility to help watch for your pet or stop by for a few walks during the day! Watching your pet in your home, I’ll make sure to either walk your pup on a leash or let them out in a fence in area. I’ll also make sure that your pup has food and water available and give any medication if needed.
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone unfamiliar to us, and Allie was EXCELLENT!! The rover cards and pictures were very detailed, she went above and beyond with walks, and we felt our dog was very cared for in real time. She also was fantastic with communication before, during, and after visits and setting up the appointments. First time with Rover, and Allie was a welcome first experience. Definitely recommend 10/10 for anyone hesitant with having a new dog sitter.”

“She took great care of my dogs and I really appreciate her coming all the way out to my house in the country to check on them. It helped me a lot! Will definitely use her again when needed!”


About: Growing up on a farm and participating in 4-H taught me the importance of responsibility, patience, and genuine care when it comes to animals. I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a variety of animals, learning their needs and routines while building strong, trusting bonds. In addition, I’ve house sat for families with dogs and cats, making sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every animal like my own and always prioritize their well-being and happiness. 🐾 I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or care for your cats! I’m available to pet sit on weekends! Along with weekdays after 3! I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and consistent environment, whether in my home or a client’s. I follow each pet’s routine closely. Such as feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. This allows them to feel comfortable and secure. Safety is always my top priority, from keeping spaces clean and hazard-free to closely monitoring behavior and health. I also understand how important trust is, so I communicate clearly with owners, respect their home, and treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. 🐾
About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I regularly pet sit for family and friends and would love the opportunity to care for even more furry companions. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, where I spent time taking dogs out of the shelter environment to explore, exercise, and enjoy one on one attention. I work an hybrid schedule and am able to make time for pet care. I am not able to have animals in my home. I’m available to house pet sitting in your home and scheduled dog walks and cat drop ins. I will ensure they are comfortable in their space. I like to build trust with animals first and figure out what type of personalities they have because every animal is not the same. I’m comfortable walking dogs, crating dogs, letting dogs outside, feeding dogs, giving pills, and lifting dogs up. I’m comfortable cleaning litter boxes, feeding cats, grooming, and providing entertainment while caring for cats. I want to do whatever they feel most comfortable with and makes them happy.
About: I've spent a lot of my life taking care of animals, particularly cats. I have a Zoology degree and experience with developing commands and various training exercises as well as handling proper food intake and oral medicine intake. I am available every day, most of the day! It will vary per-day but as long as I have a two-day notice I should absolutely be available! I will be vigilant with your pets, making sure that they get enough attention and do not get into anything that they shouldn't. If there are any specific rules that you have in your home or for your pet I will make sure to follow them to ensure a safe and happy experience for your animals!
“Erika saved us. I needed a last minute check in for my dog this weekend and she was able to help us out. Her communication really put me at ease and I cant wait to book her again!”

“Marissa was absolutely wonderful to our very needy, newly adopted cat, while we were out of the country for some time. We can tell that our cat really enjoyed her company and she is very trustworthy. I had so much anxiety about leaving our cat but Marissa made it so easy for us. We will definitely re book with her in the future!”

“Rebecca was great. She kept me updated on jeb and made sure i knew he was taken care of. She was always on time and was very sweet to my boy. I would definitely hire her again.”
