About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand animals’ unique personalities and needs. Today, I’m the proud owner of two Golden Retrievers, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need consistency and training reinforcement to senior dogs who require extra patience, attention, and specialized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to providing attentive, personalized care that helps them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being. I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to accommodate walks, potty breaks, play sessions, feedings, and check-ins that fit your pet’s normal routine. My flexibility also makes it easier to accommodate last-minute requests whenever my schedule allows. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or my own, I provide a calm, attentive environment and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and supervision. I understand that every pet is different, so I follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, training commands, and household rules. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away.
“Wenqi was incredible! She was so communicative, she sent so many photos of Callie, and Callie absolutely loved her. I will absolutely be hiring her again for all of my Rover needs.”
“Carly took such excellent care of out 3 kitties while we were out of town for a week. She showed up when she said she would each morning and evening and every day sent the best photos of the kitties playing and eating, as well as detailed daily updates. I know she was patient, loving and caring with them because we came home to very content kitties. I love that she had one of our kitties each day on her lap for snuggling and play time with all of them. When we came home, the kitties were obviously well taken care of and happy. The next morning my husband joked that they were looking out the window for Carly! I will 100% book Carly again to watch our kitties!!!”
About: I understand the responsibility that comes with taking care of your beloved pet and want to be there to support and love on your dog. I pride myself on my compassion, love, and understanding of all pets and their unique needs. I am a college student that loves to work with animals. I have classes during the day but am available in the early mornings, afternoons and evenings to take care of your pets. I am also available on weekends and for overnight care. I understand the concern that may come with leaving your pet with a stranger and take careful consideration in to making sure that doors are closed behind me, safety hazards are removed from the pets reach, and a high level of attentiveness while on walks.
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 pet-sit frequently for family and neighbors and it brings be joy that they entrust me with there pets. I grew up with two large dogs, a family cat, and eventually a cat to care for on my own. I learned to care for elderly dogs when mine grew old as well as knowing the discipline of a cat for myself. I am a college student. Over the summer I have a morning class from 9-10am Monday through Friday, but besides that my days are open. I hace a fenced in back yard from my previous dogs as well as a friendly neighbor dog who likes to run alongside the fence (on the other side) when there is a dog in our yard. I live in a one story home which gave easier access to elderly pets.
“Amelia was fantastic. Very flexible, super responsive and thoughtful, great energy. Perfect for our anxious rescue dog (and also slightly anxious dog parents). She kept us in the loop the entire time and sent lots of photos which put our minds at ease.”
About: I provide personalized, one-on-one care so every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I treat each dog like family and take time to understand their unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs long walks, active playtime, or calm cuddles, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most relaxed. I am patient, reliable, and detail-oriented, so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands while you’re away. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all personalities and needs. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I can easily adjust to their routine and needs. I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment for pets in my care. I live in an apartment and have access to a fenced outdoor area for secure outdoor time and walks. I do not currently have any dogs in my home, so your pet will receive my full attention.
“Addisen was a fantastic pet sitter for my little girl! She provided excellent communication throughout the stay and sent wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind and made my day. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely hire Addisen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
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 am new to Rover but I know I will impress you. I have cared for dogs of every breed and age since I was young. Neighbors, friends, and family trust me to feed, walk, and check in on their pets. I run and walk daily, so high-energy dogs get the exercise they need, and calmer or senior dogs get patient, gentle attention. I notice changes in behavior fast and know when something is off. Your dog will be safe, active, and genuinely loved while in my care. I am currently working an internship, so my days stay open. I am free all weekend and only work 8am to 12pm on Fridays. The rest of my week is flexible for walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays. I run and walk daily, rain or shine, so your dog gets real exercise, not just a quick trip outside. I send updates after every visit and adjust to your dog’s pace, energy, and feeding schedule. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and never unsupervised. In my home, dogs have a secure, fenced space away from hazards, with fresh water always available. In a client’s home, I follow your routine exactly, lock doors after every walk, respect your space, and send photo updates so you always know your dog is happy. I watch closely for signs of stress or illness, and keep a vet’s number ready for emergencies.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
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.
Addisen was a fantastic pet sitter for my little girl! She provided excellent communication throughout the stay and sent wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind and made my day. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely hire Addisen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Samantha was professional, friendly and personable. She took extra great care of my pets!! I felt very at ease leaving her in charge. She went above and beyond. She took pics and sent a note everyday as well. I appreciate having had met such a caring sitter through Rover and will definitely contact again if she is available!
Hanna did an amazing job from start to finish! She took the time to meet my dog ahead of time to make sure she was comfortable with her and was super patient. Best thing about Hanna is her communication! She’s was super responsive throughout the whole process. I highly recommend her to anyone and will for sure be booking again in the future!
Ella is a very warm and attentive sitter. I had to hire her while navigating a turbulent time at work while traveling internationally and she gave me the peace of mind I needed, knowing my kitties were happy and healthy. She has great communication and always a positive attitude. Will definitely recommend her for caring for your pets!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boulder. On Rover:

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
