“We just started using Nora for drop-in visits and she seems great! She's very good with communications, she responds quickly to requests, she comes on time, and she takes her queue from our pooch about what he wants to do during each visit. We hope to have her continue with visits for a very long time!”
“Patricia was AMAZING! I had a last minute trip and she watched my two babies while I was gone. She was SO communicative and easy-going when I had to make last minute changes. I will 100% be booking with her again when I go out of town next time. She even went the extra mile and emptied my litter box. I felt great knowing my babies were in good hands. Definitely book with her!”
About: I've taken care of animals since I was in highschool, starting with my parents' dogs when they were on a trip, as well as family friends' pets in the neighborhood. I think the compassion that I bring to the job is what sets me apart from other sitters. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I dedicate every ounce of love and effort to any task I am assigned to. I have also been exposed to cats and dogs of all ages. I am flexible when it comes to scheduling and will specialize care if any adjustments are needed. I am a full-time student at CU Boulder, but my day-to-day schedule has gaps, allowing for me to take care of your pet. I have availability in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Weekends have a ton of room for flexibility. I am more than happy to discuss scheduling to best fit the needs of your pet! I am flexible as to how I can provide care. I am completely understanding of how crucial routines are for some pets, as well as individualized needs, so I will always respect any instructions provided. I am incredibly patient and flexible!! My apartment complex does not allow pets, but I am more than happy provide care in your home.
“Falecia was wonderful caring for my cat while we were gone for about five days. I got a ton of check-in photos and also pretty detailed updates on how my cat was doing. I was a little nervous given last time we left her with an in-home sitter she was pretty anxious when we came back. That can't always be helped with pets, but I know Falecia did her absolute best to make sure my girl was getting love and attention to stave off that separation anxiety some. Would happily book again.”
“J’Ana was an amazing sitter. She really went above and beyond. There was an issue with my AC and she notified me promptly and popped in the next day to make sure it was fixed. Sent me cute videos and pictures of my baby Stella. Gave her treats and earned Stella’s trust. I had a very relaxing vacation knowing she was taking care of Stella. Thank you for all that you do J’Ana (:”
About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life and have now adopted a Labrador puppy of my own. He’s a crazy little guy so I feel like it’s qualified me to work with dogs that have all types of personalities. I’ve recently graduated and am looking for jobs, so I am completely flexible with my time. Besides caring for my own pup, I can be right there for your pets whenever you need! I have a small fenced yard that’s made life easier with my puppy, but I also take him on frequent walks. He eats well and has too many toys to count. He gets treated like a king! If I were trying to find someone on Rover to care for him, I would want the same treatment – and that is what you’ll get from me!
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: Hello fellow pet lovers!! My name is Natalia, I am a college student in psychology looking for some quality time taking care of whatever furry (or not furry) companion you have! I am originally from mexico so I am fluent in both English and Spanish in case you have a Hispanic fella :) I have experience babysitting with families with dogs, and grew up with a big dog of my own so I know all about what it takes to properly care for the big guys too. I can administer medication and also go take the really active fellas on runs. I’m a college student but I don’t currently have a job so the only thing on my schedule are my classes. I’m available all throughout weekends and in the evenings most weekdays, but I can also be very flexible and tweak my schedule to accommodate yours I am very aware of what happens around me so I can react quickly to anything that happens. Grew up with a big dog so I’ll be able to handle any size of dog.
About: I have volunteered at shelters for a long time and I am both a dog and cat lover! I have a dog and cat and absolutely adore them. I have worked with cats taking care of them, and dogs walking them and cleaning up after them. I am a full time student but my schedule does leave time for me to be able to watch pets. I am pretty open for scheduling as well. I am the primary care taker of my dog, meaning I usually feed her and take her for walks along with playing with her. My cats I usually am the one to play with and snuggle.
About: I have worked with animals both in a personal capacity and professional, and take the care of any animals seriously. As a former pet store manager, I was required to know the details of all animal care and services, including training and recognizing behavior. I have 3 cats of my own and work with dogs every single day. When I’m not walking dogs, I’m a certified trainer at PetSmart! While I don't offer private training outside of PetSmart, I am an experienced dog handler. I have plenty of time outside of work to help care for others animals. When I'm not working with pets, I'm writing or spending time with my own pets. I am a respectful house guest and will treat your pets and your home as if they were my own. I appreciate detailed and direct instruction when it comes to specific pet needs and entrance to the home if I am doing a stop in or walk.
“Lali was so thorough and thoughtful that I could relax on my trip away! The kitties were fed, entertained, and the house was just the way I left it when I returned. Highly recommend this experienced professional sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Eva! I’ve spent over 12 years caring for animals—everything from my neighbors' pets to my own beloved dogs and horses. I also have hands-on experience training both dogs and horses, which has taught me a lot about patience, communication, and animal behavior. As a college student without pets of my own right now, I truly miss being around animals. That’s why I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and give them all the attention, love, and playtime they deserve! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and playtime. On a weekly basis, I also make time for grooming, enrichment activities, and longer walks or hikes. I love being active, so integrating pet care into my day never feels like a chore, it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Caring for animals fits into my life because it’s something I’m passionate about and prioritize every day. In both my home and my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for pets. I always follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or walking routes. I give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and communication are really important to me, so I also keep the home super clean!
About: My dog is my top priority, and yours will be too! I’m able to take your dog on hikes, runs, and have some fun time with my 2 year old husky/heeler mix. Lots of cuddles, exercise, and fun time, while ensuring proper dog to dog boundaries. I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time, and so am able to provide care for your pets throughout the day. My home is best for small and medium dogs (up to 60lbs). I am unable to care for dogs under 1 year old. Additionally your dog must be: 1) dog friendly, with no history of aggression towards dogs 2) people friendly 3) house trained 4) sleeps through the night I have a fenced yard and one playful two year old husky/heeler mix. Care can include yard play time, leashed walks, hikes, or runs, depending on the needs of your dog! I am also able to keep up with training and obedience with your dog, whether that includes reactivity, leash walking, jumping etc. A meet and greet is required before I am able to book new dogs.
“Cassidy is absolutely wonderful! She is reliable, trustworthy and so sweet. She took great care of my cat, brushing her and playing with her, sending cute pictures and updates every day so I could feel she was happy and healthy while I was on vacation. I highly recommend her for pet sitting and will definitely count on her next time I need help with my cat.”
“Nicole did a great job taking care of our girls while we were away. She was super kind, flexible, and easy to coordinate with. Our cats seemed happier and less anxious than when we’ve left them alone in the past.”
About: I have been pet sitting for all types of animals and dog walking since middle school. I have also helped my parents raise 2 puppies! I am a college student with classes every weekday. I do have most of the day and weekends off to spend with your furry friends! I have lots of experience with all different types of pets and can handle any situation that may come up, just let me know what rules you have for your house and pets!
About: I’ve had and cared for pets for 14 years, including dogs, cats, and rabbits. While I haven’t worked professionally with animals, I have extensive hands-on experience with feeding, walking, grooming, and making sure pets feel loved and safe. I’m a student in Boulder, and when I’m not in class, I have lots of free time! I’m around most days of the week and would love to spend that time with pets. When I visit a client’s home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I follow their usual routine like checking water, food, and giving them plenty of playtime and attention. During walks, I focus on safety and making sure they get good exercise and enrichment. I always keep owners updated with photos and notes so they know their pets are happy and well cared for.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
Katie was fantastic with my cats. She sent lots of photos every time with notes about each visit. And she must be a cat whisperer as my very cautious cat came into the room with her on the first day and let her pet her on the second day - a record! And she followed all the instructions. I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her.
Allison took excellent care of my cat! She checked her once daily, interacting with her in addition to the usual feeding and litter box cleaning. My cat has long fur and Allison brushed it so that my cat looked better and felt softer than before I left! Thank you, Allison!
Tigran was wonderful to work with and helped out so much with my cat, Pete. He was very communicative and even helped / stayed on site during a fire alarm activation to make sure Pete was safe. Very thankful for his professionalism and care. Cannot recommend Tigran enough!
J’Ana was an amazing sitter. She really went above and beyond. There was an issue with my AC and she notified me promptly and popped in the next day to make sure it was fixed. Sent me cute videos and pictures of my baby Stella. Gave her treats and earned Stella’s trust. I had a very relaxing vacation knowing she was taking care of Stella. Thank you for all that you do J’Ana (:

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Boulder is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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.

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 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.

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 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.
