About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and reptiles since I can remember. All my life. I currently have 8 dogs of my own, 3 cats and a tortoise. I’ve bottle fed newborn kittens to elderly dogs who can no longer walk. I make my own dog food, dog treats and do basic training as well! I have open daily availability! My kids are in school during the day, and I work a few nights on the weekends, but can be available at any time. I would care for your pet at your home and come as often as needed. I can take them for walks, clean cat boxes, give them play time.
“Conrad was great with Myla! He took her on her daily walks, played with her outside, and was very attentive to her needs. Myla can be reactive and has a range of different temperaments, and Conrad did a great job handling her and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”
“Katy did a wonderful job watching our corgi ove a long weekend. We got daily pics and updates and Katy left the house clean and well cared for. Would definitely hire her again!”
“Mike was a great sitter! He was communicative and thoughtful, sending daily updates and pictures. Our dogs were well taken care of and had a great time. I’d definitely have Mike stay with our pups again in the future!”
“Jennifer was great. Our first experience using Rover, on a holiday weekend, the night before we were supposed to leave. She was the first we contacted and the first to respond ! She sent pics of our pup regularly! Left the house clean and tidy”
“Sarah was very professional and a clear communicator. She sent us really nice pictures of our fur babies and it was obvious how much fun they were having with her. She adjusted her schedule due to the high temperatures to make sure walks happened when it was cooler. Sarah is a very kind and caring person. We would definitely highly recommend her. Thanks Sarah!”
“Bryson did a great job, and we will definitely book again. We have older dogs with lots of different medicines so it's always a little nerve-wracking to leave them. But we returned to happy pups and a clean place with adorable pictures to boot!”
“Excellent cat sitter! She did an excellent job taking care of my cat and was very attentive and reliable. She also left my home clean, tidy, and well organized, which I really appreciated. I felt very comfortable knowing everything was taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my cat again!”
“Ryan was very professional and took good care of the pups. His communication was prompt and clear. He stayed in our house and watched our three dogs. Took good care of the house as well”
“We really appreciated Ella’s responsiveness, fastidiousness, and flexibility. Our pooch injured her eye before we left town for the weekend that required additional medicine, a cone, etc. Ella didn’t miss a beat! Our furry companions were well cared for and happy and healthy upon our return home. Can’t ask for much else!”
“Kathryn did a great job, we felt confident and comfortable with her in our home and taking great care of our little babies. She was very loving and attentive and is a very experienced dog caretaker. You should definitely book her! We will definitely be booking again!”
““Val was absolutely fantastic with our senior dog, Bennie, who required various medications and an inhaler twice a day. The daily photos and updates of Bennie were very thoughtful and really helped us relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear Bennie was in great hands, happy and comfortable. Val also took excellent care of our home. Everything was spotless when we returned, and it was such a relief knowing both Bennie and our space were so well looked after. We would book Val again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Val, for taking such great care of our sweet boy!” – Rachel & Michael”
“Katavah is so professional and caring for our dogs. She knows them and they know her and are so comfortable with her. Katavah takes such good care of our dogs and is so great about keeping us updated about their care. We highly recommend Katavah.”
“Kamilla stayed at our house and took care of our two young cats for a little over a week. She was very communicative, took great care of the cats and was very respectful of our home. We have already booked her for two more upcoming trips and we would highly recommend her to anyone else!”
About: I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember! I grew up with family dogs of all sizes and had the joy of caring for my beloved German Shepherd, Buttercup, for many years. She crossed the rainbow bridge, but she definitely left me with a lifelong love of having a four-legged friend around. These days, friends often call on me to dog-sit, take their pups for walks, or get them out for a good run. I’m an avid trail runner, so if your dog is a running buddy, I’d love some company on the trails! If your pup prefers a slower pace, I’m just as happy taking a leisurely neighborhood walk, sniffing all the important smells, and enjoying some fresh air together. 🐾 One of the biggest perks I offer is that I work remotely as a therapist providing tele-mental health services. As long as I have reliable Wi-Fi, I can work from wherever your dog is most comfortable. So while I’m working during the day, your pup gets the benefit of having someone around rather than being left alone for hours. Whether your dog is energetic and ready for an adventure, a senior who prefers cozy companionship and gentle walks, or somewhere in between, I’m happy to follow their lead. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands! Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely as a therapist providing tele-mental health services. My schedule gives me flexibility to provide care, companionship, walks, playtime, meals, and attention throughout the day while still maintaining my work commitments. I’m also an avid trail runner, so I enjoy getting outside with active dogs, while happily adjusting to a slower pace for pets who prefer leisurely walks and plenty of relaxation. I’m comfortable staying in a pet’s home and working around their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and cared for while their people are away. I primarily provide care in the pet’s home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and maintain their normal routine. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs or preferences. I’m happy to give dogs plenty of exercise and adventure, whether that means a trail run, a neighborhood walk, or simply some backyard time. For cats, I’m equally happy to provide playtime, attention, cuddles, or respectful space when they prefer to be left alone. I’ll keep food and water fresh, litter boxes clean, and your pet’s environment tidy. Because I work remotely, I can spend significant time in your home while continuing my regular work schedule. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love while you’re away.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Black Hawk walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Black Hawk maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Black Hawk 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
