“Pete is a fantastic communicator, is so professional, and is so good with our pups! He easily handled their excited energy and even came a bit early to check in on them after I told him one of them had an upset stomach. We highly recommend Pete!”

About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!

“Jennifer is an amazing Rover employee. She agreed to do a drop-in with little notice and moved around her schedule to schedule a meet and greet. When the day of the drop-in came around and I needed to change the time of the appointment, she was very flexible and easy-going. Not to mention, she took great care of Abby by walking her, playing with her, and making sure her water bowl was full. I will definitely be asking Jennifer to watch Abby again!”

About: I have had pets ever since I can remember: dogs, cats, and fish. I have experience with bigger dogs and puppies. I own a beta fish as well, and have had them on and off for about 8 years. I am in school right now, I attend the University of Colorado Boulder, so I am busy from 12:30-4:30 every weekday. On weekends, I am free all day Saturday and Sunday. In my home, we have dog bowls and treats available, as well as fresh water. We also have a park next to our house for walks. In the clients home, I will be incredibly respectful of your space and be sure that I know where everything is located for the animals so I know they can get the best care while their person is away!

About: I’ve worked at my mom’s grooming shop in Evergreen (soggy dog) every summer for the last 4 years, while petsitting for a lot of the dogs in my neighborhood. Personally, I have an elderly dachshund and a standard poodle puppy, so I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. It’d be a pleasure to take care of your pets! I’m currently a student at CU, but my schedule is pretty flexible. Inquire about what days I’m needed, and I can work with you! I can’t offer my own in-home services due to my college living situation, but I am obviously willing to take care of your pets in your own home. I have a car so I can arrive fast in case of emergency, and venture far if needed.

About: I have loved taking care of pets since I was a child. I have pet sat for cats and dogs and it is always so much fun being around some sweet animals. My dog at home LOVES other dogs but at this time it would not be wise to get her a brother or sister because she has a human brother who is 8 months old! So, I have decided to start caring for other people’s pets because I don’t have to pay for other people’s pets vet bills 😅 If your dog is friendly and can be around the family.. GREAT if not, you can book something at your house and I am always open to drop ins. We can always make it work! I am currently working VERY part time and someone is home all day every day of the week. I have a wonderful partner and we have a baby and are trying to make some extra cash by opening our home to some pups that need some attention/a place to call home until their owners get back. At my home I live with my partner, my dog and my infant son so any friendly and well trained dogs are welcome to stay with us! At your home on certain days I CAN come to do drop ins but at least my son will need to tag along if it is more than just a morning and evening visit.

About: We’re a family of four who loves caring for dogs. We have 2.5 acres, a fenced in yard, and give lots of TLC. Walks around the neighborhood and on trails too. My husband and I work from home and love going on walks. When the kids are home from school they dote on the animals a lot too. In the house, your dog is welcome to go where they please & feel most comfortable…which is often right by us. Feel free to bring their own dog bed or any blankets that remind them of home. We board no more than 2 dogs at once, and often it’s just one. The house is still a home. And your best buddy welcome anytime!

“Sophia was so great with my older pup! On her drop in visits she made sure he had his bathroom breaks, food, and meds and took time to give him plenty of love and play time! She also was great in taking him for walks. Sophia was also great about communication and photos. I would definitely recommend and use Sophia again!”

About: I just moved back to Colorado from Southern CA where I used work for a non-profit where I train dogs to become service dogs for individuals with disabilities! I can handle large groups of dogs and love giving special attention to any pet :) I had cats and dogs growing up and during college, I watched many of my friends’ dogs for a few hours, up to a few weeks. ** message me if you have scheduling questions! I can be more accommodating than this app’s calendar :) I work full-time, so I am looking to help watch pets on weekends and over the upcoming winter holiday season. I am comfortable staying at a client's home and doing longer-term pet care as long as the animal can be alone during the day for an 8 hour work day. If your home is near Oceanside, I can stop in during my lunch break to let your pets out to toilet. I will keep dogs on leash unless in a trusted, enclosed area. For safety reasons, I will not be using a Flexi-leash. I will always make sure your pet has ample clean water. I am more than happy to send photos and updates on your pet while they're in my care! As of July 12, I am certified in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross, and for my job, I have been trained to be alert to allergic reactions and typical dog stats.

About: I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and absolutely love spending time with them. Over the years, I have worked with multiple families providing dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and extended pet sitting. I have stayed with pets for very long periods of time and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including administering medications and caring for a diabetic cat that required insulin injections. I am comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs, whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, medication schedules, or simply providing companionship. I currently have a very flexible schedule and work remotely, allowing me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and house sitting, including longer bookings and last-minute requests when my schedule permits. I treat every animal as if they were my own and pride myself on being responsible, attentive, and trustworthy. Along with caring for your pets, I make sure your home is kept clean, secure, and well looked after while you’re away.

About: I recently lost my 12 year old rescue pitbull who lived in 8 different states with me. Looking forward to having dogs around again. I work from home full-time so your buddy will get lots of love. I'm in a small apartment near several walking paths so there will be lots of walks at quieter times of the day. There are 3 dog parks in short walking distance so there can be lots of fetch and doggie friends made. I'm also happy to cuddle up with senior dogs and provide lots of belly rubs. There are two flights of stairs to get up to my apartment that your dog must be OK with. I work from home full-time so I'll always have eyes on your buddy. I'm happy to provide as many walks as needed and they will have full access to the furniture. I have a clean, tidy home which your pet will have full access to. My senior rescue that I recently lost rarely left my side, and I'm hoping your buddy will do the same.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Bark Ranch

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
