“Amazing! I generally avoid going out of town not wanting to leave my dog behind and Tess has single-handedly alleviated all of my concerns. Couldn't be happier with the communication, pictures, schedule of care, and genuine care for Kobi. Will absolutely be seeking out more care with Tess in the future.”
“We’ve had such a great experience with Falecia! She is professional, pays close attention to our dog’s needs, and always posts an update and photos - which we love. Milo clearly loves her too and looks forward to her visit!”
About: I volunteered with the humane society for years when I was a teen, and have cared for a pet for most years of my adult life. I care for animals deeply and also have a prompt, dutiful work ethic. I am free from early morning until late afternoon to walk your furry friends! I'm a writer, so it's as important for me to get out of the house as it is your pet! I bathe my kitty in affection and get her the healthiest, best food and treats that I can find. We play when she feels like it, and snuggle all night long.
“My wife and I needed to book an extra day outside our original scheduled times and Jennifer did not hesitate at all to help us out with an additional day. She is extremely friendly and will definitely be reaching back out to her in the future. Thank You, Jennifer!!”
“Michael did a wonderful job with my two little dogs, he was also a great communicator, sending updates and photos. I am so thankful for the excellent care in my home instead of having to kennel/board them.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, and for the past two years I’ve lived on a farm where I have gained experience caring for many different types of animals. We also double as a kitten rescue, taking in lost and abandoned kittens from newborns through teenagers. We bottle-feed, raise, and care for them until they are healthy, grown, and ready to be adopted into loving homes. I am extremely passionate about healthy and safe animal care and ensure that in my work. I am a college student and recently moved away from home and my farm, and the first priority on my list was getting back into work with animals. Being at CU I am occupied in the mornings and late afternoon. Anywhere between 11am-1pm I am free in between classes, and anytime after 4/5pm at night. I care for pets with patience, attention, and lots of love while making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their environment. Having cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and a variety of farm animals, I understand that every animal has different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, providing fresh water, cleaning up after pets, giving them exercise and playtime, and keeping a close eye on their behavior and well-being. Through helping my mom run our farm and caring for rescued kittens, including newborns, I’ve also learned how important it is to be gentle, responsible, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs.
“Leah helped me out last minute for a check in for my dog. She was easy to work with, communicative, and sent the cutest pictures - it was clear my dog loved her! I would absolutely book her again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats ever since I was born, and have continued to surround myself with them even after leaving for college. I frequently help out at shelters and have recently branched out to start cat and dog-sitting. I also have two feline friends of my own, who I have had for around three years now :) I take care of my cats throughout the day (feeding, cleaning, and playing with them). This is easy to fit into my work schedule as I work remotely. And with this added flexibility, comes the ability to look after other pets as well! I have plenty of of experience dog and cat sitting, and like to spend lots of time with the animals I stop in to look after. I’m responsible when it comes to feeding pets strictly what the owner says and respect any rules they put in place regarding their pets. I’m readily available to chat over the phone and am happy to send update pictures throughout the day.
“Lali was incredible and we would recommend her sitting services to anyone!! On a daily basis, she sent my wife and I photo updates of our two dogs as well as short reports on what they did and how they spent their time together. We would leave six stars out of five if we could!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe and live on their pets. I have experience with training puppies and providing senior dog care. My dedication and love for animals ensure they receive the best care possible. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to fit pet care around my classes and daily routine. I’m happy to plan walks, drop-ins, feeding, and quality time around your pet’s normal schedule, and I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability. I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’ll follow any instructions you leave, keep up with their normal routine, and make sure your home is treated with respect. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.
“Otelia was such a great Rover! I had such an easy experience. She is very communicative which helped alleviate any anxiety I felt about leaving my kitty. She even left me a handwritten note at the end!”
“Connie is so great with our dogs! She is so patient with our little brood of pups and understands how to work with each one individually based on their personality and needs. I highly recommend her!”
“Axel was perfect for Simon, my rabbit! She gave him great attention and care. We could tell upon our return home that Simon was well taken care of and loved - it was like we never left.”
“Emily was so easy-going and communicative. It’s really nice to receive all the updates so we know everything’s going as planned. She was really sweet with our big dog Otis”
“It was hard to be away from my cat for a week, but I felt so much better knowing Jordan was looking after her! She sent great photos the whole time and very nice updates as well! Will definitely be rebooking the next time I travel!”
“Carli is so great! I had no worries because she stayed in communication with me and sent ample photos. Went above and beyond for my little Basil. 10/10 recommend Carli! Thanks again!!”
“Lynn did a fantastic job caring for my 2 cats while I was on a work trip! She took note of everything I asked for and went above and beyond to make sure my cats were fed and entertained in my absence. She was also very communicative and professional. I really appreciated her services and would definitely book visits with her in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“Maria was the perfect sitter for my cat! She was very thorough with daily updates and I returned to a healthy and happy kitty and an apartment that felt cleaner than how I left it. I would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for drop in visits or any other service.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
Tess was wonderful with our kitties! One of our cats can be skittish but she warmed right up to Tess and both were happy and relaxed. Tess played with them a lot and petted them and really engaged them. Tess sent fantastic photos and kept us updated throughout our trip. She is very responsive and organized and conscientious.
Juliana was a great sitter! I'll definitely have her watch my two cats again. My cats have very different personalities but both of them loved her after a week of drop ins. One of them even laid on her chest when she has only ever laid on my chest. I came home from my trip to two happy cats.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boulder. On Rover:

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
