About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have my dog Mr.Darcy (2 years old) who I'm actively training and my lovely cat Lucifur. I live with conures and I also frequently watch my sisters miniature zoo which includes dogs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, bugs, ducks & chickens. & I enjoy saving stray animals whenever I get the chance I'm an artist who's new to Denver looking to care for critters most of my time. High maintenance / energetic dogs are preferred but I truly love all animals. It's extremely important to me to listen when pets communicate. Dog language and behavior is something I spend most of my time researching just for fun.

“We literally cannot thank Ginna enough for her effortless ability to care for our two kitties the way we do. We were gone for a long weekend for our wedding & normally we check in constantly. With Ginna, we didn’t have to. She followed our care sheets & sent updates throughout the stay that made us so comfortable, even when we weren’t able to communicate much because of how busy we were. We appreciate you so much, Ginna!”

About: Hi! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and have grown up with both dogs and cats. I’ve cared for my own Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for 8 years and have also looked after friends’ pets over the years. I’m a gentle, empathetic, and caring person who believes every pet deserves patience, affection, and individualized attention. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how much your pets mean to you, and I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own. I’d love to meet you and your furry family! 🐾 I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, loving care throughout the day. I’m available for pet care most days, with Tuesdays and Wednesdays being my only unavailable days. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and care! I currently live in a dog friendly apartment complex, with a fenced in dog park 10 minutes from downtown Golden. Happy to take your pet out on trails, to the dog park, or stay cozy indoors with frequent potty breaks.

About: I have about two years of hands-on pet care experience. For a year and a half, I volunteered at the Humane Society, where I learned how to read dog body language, handle different temperaments, and keep dogs safe and calm on walks. I also spent two years helping my parents raise and train our family dog, so I am very comfortable with basic training, positive reinforcement, and keeping routines consistent. Because of my shelter background, I am patient with shy or high-energy dogs, and I always prioritize safety on walks by avoiding stressful situations or unknown off-leash dogs. I am currently a freshman online student at CSU. Since I am adjusting to my first year of college, I treat pet care like structured, scheduled appointments rather than trying to do everything at once. I am already used to balancing my time because I regularly look after my aunt's dogs around my schoolwork. Because my classes are online, I don't have to commute, which gives me specific windows during the day for walks and check-ins. Because I complete most of my coursework on Mondays and Tuesdays, I have limited time that I can spend with housesitting those days, I will have to return home for about 3-6 hours to study on Mondays and Tuesdays if I am housesitting. Safety is my main focus because of my background volunteering at the Humane Society. That experience taught me to always be alert, double-check leash attachments, and watch for warning signs in a dog's body language before any issues happen. On walks, I keep a tight grip on the leash, look out for hazards, and never let strange dogs approach or interact with your pup on the street. For house sitting, I respect your home completely and follow all your instructions regarding security and locked doors. I stick strictly to your dog's regular feeding and bathroom schedules to keep their stress levels low while you are away, and I will always send you quick photo updates so you know everything is going smoothly.

About: I’ve been working with animals and volunteering with animal organizations my whole life. I have extensive experience socializing under socialized dogs, and puppies. I also love cats and have had three. My occupation is largely seasonal and this is my slow season. I can make accommodations to anyone that needs sitting around the holidays or something regular. I care for each animal, as if it is my own, especially if I’m in a new situation or home. Building the trust of the animals is key to having a great working relationship.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Applewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Applewood is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 13,514 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Applewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Applewood. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
