“Darian was very helpful in taking care of my puppy while I was away. She went above and beyond in her drop in to make sure my puppy received lots of attention and that she was well taken care of. I would recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and caring for them is something I’m very comfortable and confident in. My family has always had dogs, so I’ve had hands-on experience with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. In addition to owning my own dog in the past, I’ve fostered dogs and helped raise two puppies, giving me experience with training basics, routines, and all the energy and patience that puppies require! I’ve also regularly dog-sat for friends and family by caring for dogs in their homes and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m very comfortable walking dogs and making sure each walk is safe and enjoyable. My goal is always to make both pets and owners feel relaxed and confident while they’re apart. I’m currently in school so I am generally available on Wednesday’s, Fridays, and most weekends with plenty of time to care for your pets. I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog and your home, and I don’t take that lightly. I follow instructions closely, make sure everything is secure, and focus on keeping your dog comfortable and happy. My goal is for you to feel relaxed knowing your dog is being well cared for.
About: I have a black Labrador and a Shiba Inu at home and am a nurse by trade so I do my fair share of caring for others. I’m excited to meet your pet and provide them with all of the belly scratches and love! I would love to provide walks or drop in’s over the lunch hour of your work day. I’m available Monday-Friday for your needs. I can come to you to provide a friendly face during your work day and provide a mid day walk to burn some energy for your furry friend!
About: I grew up in the country and my family bred dogs since I was very little. We have always had a house full of pups and it will always be part of my life. I treat all pups like part of the family and will provide the most excellent care for your fur babes. I work from home so am always around. I have a doggie door if your pup can use it or can let them out at any time. Can add doggies to the dog park run club if they are able. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, too. Doggies can have their own room or be crated if needed. My home has a doggie door. Closed at night. And many separate rooms if needed for more exclusive needs. I work from home so am always around and can handle more complex needs or high energy. My house also has security cameras all around and locked and blocked fences, as well as great neighbors.
“Anna was great with my high energy and nervous shepherd mix. He can bark and jump on new people but Anna was super receptive to my instructions to prevent this and was able to play with him, give him water, treats, and a potty break within 30 minutes. She was very responsive to my messages as well. She has lots of experience with foster dogs which is great for my high maintenance big boy.”
“I really appreciate how communicative Erin was while I was away. This was my first time doing this and my experience was great. She was great with my kitty and made me feel at peace leaving him.”
“Sara was FANTASTIC! We were gone for a 10 day trip, having never been gone that long we were nervous leaving our 2 dogs & the house! Not only did Sara do a daily check in w/ play & yard time each day, she checked the mail for us & other helpful things with the house. Also, she was so gracious & understanding when our younger dog started leaving messes in the house almost daily. I was mortified, but she assured me it was okay. It was such a relief knowing our 2 dogs were happy at home (as opposed to a kennel) & the house was checked on. Amber & Eric W.”
About: I was the primary caregiver to my childhood dog (who I considered my best friend) growing up from age 5 to age 20. I've been the primary babysitter including overnight stays for my sister's German shepherd since he was a puppy until now well into adulthood. My husband is allergic so I'm not able to own my own animals despite how much I LOVE them, so I'm looking to get my animal fix by helping other people take care of their animals during the day when they're busy and at work 🥰 I've found myself with a lot of free time during weekdays and would love to use that time to help people take care of their pets and take them on walks, while also getting more quality time myself with cute animals!! I am a responsible and experienced dog walker who would be happy to walk your dogs around their own neighborhood where they're comfortable, or bring them somewhere new near my dog friendly neighborhood in olde town Arvada!
“Lisa was a great petsitter for my two senior sighthounds while we were away--consistent, conscientious care with detailed reports and the dogs enjoyed her visits. Thank you!”
“Sheryl took great care of our dog and handle all of his quirks really well :) She made sure he had plenty of walks and was entertained while we were out of town. We plan to use Sheryl again in the future.”
“This is my first time using rover and I was very nervous to leave my cats for two whole weeks, but Leslie made it all so much easier for me! She did such an amazing job keeping me updated every day and sent the best pictures. My worries quickly went away once I saw how good she is at caring for animals. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Bethany helped us out tremendously, we were in CO for our daughter‘s wedding and we knew that it was going to be a really long day for our dogs. Bethany came over and let them out and gave them their dinner which took.some stress off of me. Bethany always text me right back when I sent her a question. This was my first time using Rover and I’m sure it will not be my last. Thanks so much Bethany!
Incredible service from Melissa! An extra ⭐️ for the very cute pics of our sweet furry friends! She was very punctual and respectful of the house and our pets, we communicate easily and I can tell our pets loved her since our very shy dog was willing to eat with her. She let us know promptly about changing situations at home and was proactive and helpful. Will definitely book with Melissa again!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Arvada choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
