“Falecia is a fantastic pet sitter and I highly recommend her services. She took care of our older male cat for four days recently. Initially, Falecia was responsive when I contacted her and immediately set up a meet and greet. She was timely for the meeting, very professional, listened carefully, had a number of good questions for me and was willing to help with watering and mail while we were away. She sent updates with photos and videos daily. She interacted with my kitty by bringing in a laser pointer for him to chase around. I felt very confident that he was well cared for”
“Lia was wonderful checking in on our pup while I was out of town. She was on time and did a great job keeping him company. Easy to communicate with and has a flexible schedule that made it easy to book her. Would recommend her for sure!”
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!
“Tina was amazing with Loki while we were away for the weekend. She’s obviously been around dogs with different dispositions, and was comfortable with our big, nervous pup. There was a glitch with another caretaker having Loki on a walk when Tina arrived to be with Loki. When Tina couldn’t find Loki, she contacted me immediately then talked to our neighbor to see if she knew where he might be. She did everything perfectly! I will definitely ask Tina to help again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Anthony took great care of our kitties while we were away! He was super communicative and sent daily updates which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience with Anthony and will definitely rebook with him in the future!”
“We just started using Patricia to visit/walk my dog. My dog seemed very happy when I returned, and she left a lot of notes in the Rover card. She seems really loving toward my dog, and they enjoyed their walk. I look forward to having Patricia again. P.S. I also loved the way that she confirmed the visit, because I'm not above forgetting about it. Thank you Patricia!”
About: I have previously worked as a Rover sitter in San Diego and Denver, providing dog walks and house sitting. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including rescue pups who sometimes just need extra patience and a gentle approach to feel safe. I’ve also been caring for my own dog for the past 16 years, since he was a puppy. I know firsthand how precious our pets are and how unique each one’s needs and personality can be. I always treat pets (and homes) with the same care and respect as my own. I’m attentive, calm, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, whether your dog is high-energy or shy. My goal is always to make pets feel safe and keep owners worry-free while they’re away! I work a full-time job but my schedule is flexible. For dog walking my availability is more limited during the work week, I am available in the mornings before 10 am, between 12-1pm, and after 3 pm. For drop in visits I can be more flexible as long as I can bring my laptop and work from your location. I treat each pet as if they were my own, ensuring they receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. I will adapt my care to suit the unique needs of each pet.
About: I have had a dog for my whole life. Our first one died at 19 years old and the second one is 5. I am now in college and really miss having a pet at home. That is exactly why I am working as a pet sitter, and it means that I will love every pet as if it is my own. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs as my first dog was a senior most of her life and I also have experience with training/dealing with puppies since I was a puppy mother of the new dog. I am currently a student at the University of Colorado. This year I have classes scattered throughout the day, mostly between 11-4, but am always available to come home in between to take care of the pets. I love animals, especially dogs, more than anything. I am excited to bond with each new pet I meet and take care of them! I will do a great job meeting both their personal needs and the needs of the owners.
“J'Ana is a wonderful dog sitter for my dog. She takes her cues from what he prefers to do. She's also very dependable and is really good at responding quickly to my requests, which not all Rover folks do. We hope to have her come for visits for a long long time.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs and cats, from playful puppies to shy and reactive pets. I’ve done everything from daily drop-ins to long-term house sitting and boarding in my home, so I’m confident handling different routines, temperaments, and care needs. I focus on creating a calm, reliable environment where pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their people are away. My goal is always to keep your pet’s schedule consistent and make their time with me feel like a second home. “I’m a full-time student, but pet care fits naturally into my routine. I can provide overnight care, morning walks, and check-ins throughout the day between classes. I’m home most days after 4 pm, so pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and consistency. On weekends, I am home full-time, lots of time for playing, naps, and going out on adventures if that fits into your pet's lifestyle! In my apartment, your pet can be crated or free-roam based on their needs. I live in an apartment and there are no other animals. All outdoor time is always on-leash and closely supervised, your pet and I can play at the park across the street, with lots of grass! My goal is to create a calm, comfortable space where your pet feels secure and cared for.
About: I’ve had 1-2 dogs at a time in my house growing up and lived with a cat for a year. I’ve taken care of lots of animals from house pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, etc) to farm animals like chickens. I love all animals big and small, old and young. I’m currently a college student at CU Boulder but most of my classes are spread out and start later in the day. This will give me time to let your animals potty and time for me to hang out with them! My home is an apartment, so I don’t have much room for a large dog. If needed though a cat would be fine and a small dog as well!
About: Animal lover, I’m always happy to spend time with any animals. I’ve lived in homes with pets my whole life from large breed dogs to cats and even smaller pets. I’ve cared for a large range of animals from horses to large breed rescue dogs, temperamental cats, even rabbits and fish you name it. I’ve pet sit many times for families friends and neighbors whether is a hyper active collie who needs to be taken for runs or older cats who just like to lounge with someone. I’ve trained a few rescue dogs over time and am overall great with animals never met a pet I didn’t love and they’ve all loved me too. As a senior in college, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes. I’m generally available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 12:30 PM, as well as Tuesday and Thursday mornings and after 5 PM. I’m also available for dog sitting outside of my school hours and have availability on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits both you and your pet! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a senior in college who would love the opportunity to care for your pets! I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I cannot currently care for pets in my home as I’m currently renting, but I’m able to commute and either house sit or just pick up your pets for a walk. I’d love the chance to meet your furry family member and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you’re away. 🐾
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and started helping care for pets when I was about 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have consistently trusted me to walk, feed, and spend quality time with their pets. I’ve grown up with a wide range of dog personalities — from high-energy breeds like Border Collies to more independent dogs like Basenjis, as well as smaller companion dogs like Chihuahuas. Because of that, I’m very comfortable adjusting my approach depending on the dog’s needs, energy level, and temperament. What sets me apart is that I’m attentive and intentional. I don’t just “check in” — I pay attention to behavior, mood, and routine so your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient with anxious or shy dogs and love engaging more active dogs with walks and play. I’m also reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your pet, and I take that seriously. I’m currently finishing up my last semester of grad school, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits. I’m available most weekdays in the afternoons and evenings, along with weekends. I’m reliable and consistent, and I’m happy to stick closely to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. focus on creating a safe, calm, and reliable experience in your home while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I’m very attentive to instructions, behavior, and environment, and I make sure your dog feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I respect your home, follow care instructions closely, and always prioritize safety on walks (leash awareness, surroundings, and your dog’s comfort level). I’m also communicative and will keep you updated with photos and quick check-ins so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I currently have a dog, and have been cat and dog sitting for years! I’ve been a dog walker, a person too drop in to check on your pet, and someone who will stay with your pet to make sure they feel just as comfortable without you there!

So my weekends are wide open, and I’m available every weekday morning until around 11, as well as after 3 most days besides Wednesday and Thursday.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life—rescues, purebreds, young, senior, feathered, and scaled. My deep love for animals drives me to provide attentive, compassionate care to every pet as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with pets who have medical needs, including diabetes, and understand the stress that can come with managing those conditions. I aim to offer not just reliable care, but true peace of mind for pet parents. I’m currently in Cedar Park, TX and available for pet sitting and dog walking through August 17th. After that, I’ll be heading to CU Boulder for my freshman year. As a student, I’ll have a busy schedule but plan to continue pet sitting when possible. I have my own car, so I’m flexible with travel and timing while I’m in town! I’m happy to pet sit in your home and will always leave your space just as I found it—clean, respectful, and well cared for. Whether you need overnight stays, drop-in visits, or just walks, I’m flexible and here to help however you need!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
Thank you so much for watching Ember while we were away! She was happy and healthy when we returned home, and we could tell that she was well cared for and had plenty of activity with Lindsay. We have peace of mind knowing she was in good hands with Lindsay and look forward to booking with her again! ☺️
I can't imagine a better dog walker/sitter than Kristen. She has developed a real relationship with my dog and he's always happy to see her. She's also very good at responding quickly when visits are requested. She does a variety of activities when she comes to visit, including walks, agility course, and just hanging out to get belly rubs. We feel very fortunate to have her for our dog!
Sofia took absolutely amazing care of my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with her service! She was wonderful at communicating and kept me updated throughout the entire stay. She took such great photos, which I loved receiving, and I always knew exactly how things were going. It was clear that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely hire Sofia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Sophia was great to work with. It was clear from our first visit how much she enjoys caring for animals. She was professional, responded quickly to any questions, and thorough in her communication. I felt like she genuinely had fun being with our dogs. I look forward to working with her again.
J'Ana is a wonderful dog sitter for my dog. She takes her cues from what he prefers to do. She's also very dependable and is really good at responding quickly to my requests, which not all Rover folks do. We hope to have her come for visits for a long long time.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Boulder stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Boulder 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.

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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
