“Falecia took great care of our orangey-boy and sent lots of pics! She also kept our plants alive and even let us know we got a perishable package, then unpacked it for us! We'll definitely book her again.”
“Our kitty has always been shy of people; however, after only two days our Ruthie girl let Bridgett per her and was purring for her! Bridgett must have a way with cats and I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hello! I am a 22 year old living in boulder. I am comfortable with most types of pets including non cats and dogs. I have a good amount of experience watching family friends pets, taking for walks, doing check ins, and staying overnight with them. I am happy to help with whatever needs your pet may have! I have a almost wide open availability. I can cover long stays or single days. I can do check ins very frequently if that is whats needed. I can stay with the pets for whole days and keep them company, or I can check in whenever they need. Your pet will be safe me I am very cautious and conscientious with my care taking decisions
“Matt is an amazing sitter! He stayed with our very friendly cats while we were traveling, and made sure they had lots of company and snuggle time. I really appreciate all of the updates and photos he sent us, and his communication throughout. He took care of our house as if it was his own as well. We feel lucky to have found such a caring person to take care of our pets!”
About: I have not had a single day, in my 21 years on this planet, without owning 1 dog and 2+ cats. I know just how important our pets are to us as they are part of our family! Other than taking care of my own pets, I have fostered cats for 10 years with my mom. This includes baby bottle kittens to senior cats. Also, I take care of my neighbors and friends pets! I’m in school but my schedule is very open so I can do any time of the days. Also my weekends are usually completely open! I have done all the basics for animals like feeding, cleaning after and taking them for walks. I have also had to feed my pets medicines if that is necessary for your pets too
“Our cats were well taken care of and house was as tidy as we left it. We didn't have good cell reception but appreciated seeing the checkins when we did eventually get reception. Thank you Mary.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Leandra! She was professional, responsive, and clearly passionate about animals. She followed all the instructions I provided and I received regular updates including text messages and photos which really put my mind at ease. When I returned home, my cat seemed happy, healthy, and well cared for — and my home was just as I left it. I will definitely hire Leandra again in the future!”
About: I've been a pet companion for the last 6 years and have cared for dogs of all ages! Walks, runs, and Reiki afterward are staples in my routine when doing drop ins or when also house sitting. When caring for senior dogs, I have experience administering eye drops, pills, and am open to learning assistive technology if needed. I work part time as a nanny and college student, and so I have plenty of free time throughout the week to play, exercise, and relax with your pets! I have availability for drop ins and walks until 1230pm M-W, until 2:30pm on Th-F, and throughout the weekend (PM included). For extended care, I can stay in the home to provide over night but unfortunately cannot board. I prioritize trust between the dogs and I within the home before taking them out on walks to ensure full comfortability and safety. Security is important to me, and that includes making sure a good relationship is established before taking them out in a changing environment. Regarding house sitting or drop ins, security also includes making sure the right routines are followed for the home regarding locks, cameras, plant care, mail, and more.
About: I’m dependable, detail oriented, and take pet care seriously. I show up on time, follow instructions carefully, and give regular updates so you never have to worry. I have a flexible routine that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day, not just quick visits. I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs and routine. I’m mindful of safety, respectful of your home, and intentional about creating a calm, clean environment where your pets can feel relaxed and owners can feel secure.
About: I have taken care and love dogs since I was a very young age. I am stern yet playful with all pets. I have walked, fed, bathed, and giving medication to animals before. I am a gig worker. So I have tons of availability and time to take care of your pet. I'm available daily and all week long. I live very close to a dog park as well as tons of walking and exercise room to take care of any dog that may enter my home.
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of farm animals, giving me experience with pets of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Although I’ve always cared for pets of friends and family, I am excited to now care for pets at a more professional level through Rover! I’m a bit of a dog breed nerd and genuinely enjoy learning about breed-specific traits, behaviors, and enrichment needs. Whether your pup is a high-energy working breed that needs extra exercise or a laid-back companion who loves cuddles, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. I believe every animal deserves patience, attention, and plenty of love, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I am a self employed artist and photographer which allows me to have complete control and flexibility in my schedule to care for animals! I can be available on short notice and can easily work my schedule around the needs of each individual pet! I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s schedule, preferences, and individual needs. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, enrichment, and affection while ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I closely follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requirements. I’m attentive to body language and behavior changes, allowing me to adapt my care to each pet’s personality and comfort level. As someone who enjoys learning about breed-specific traits and needs, I understand that every dog is different and strive to provide care that matches their energy level and temperament. My goal is to give pet parents the same peace of mind I would want, by treating every animal as if they were my own and keeping them happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.
About: My grandmother took in two strays a cat and a dog both of them had serious medical problems and were hostile or shy. I grew up pet sitting for her and learning how to deal with very hostile pets and timid pets. I learned how to deal with special needs animals and often took them to the vet. Your animals care is my top priority and I see animals as little humans who deserve the same care as humans do. I’m currently doing school from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I have very few commitments during the week that aren’t longer than an hour. I always make sure to keep a close eye on pets under my watch. I usually take them out on a trail once day and or a long walk. I also let them play in the yard but only when I’m outside supervising them. I feed them based off of the owners schedule but I like to keep them on a regular schedule.
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,200 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Altona. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
