About: We had a familydog as a kid. When I met my husband I also got to be part of his dog's life, we were lucky enough to have her until she was almost 17. I am working on training my first search dog. We brought home a 2nd dog in April, a puppy from Little Mittens Animal Rescue. We also have a very dog-tolerant cat from Little Mittens. I work full time, but seasonally. I'm looking to see how this works and how I enjoy it and am fitting it into my schedule on days off, for now. I have a fenced in yard and 2 dog runs set up so that my dogs are safe when I am not home. I have my vehicles set up with dog crates so tgat animals are contained and safe while travelling with me. I will talk to you and learn about your pet and their needs so that I can give your pet the beat care.
About: Cats are amazing companions! They're low-maintenance, affectionate, and full of personality. With their playful antics and cuddly nature, they bring joy and comfort to many homes. Whether they're lounging in the sun or chasing a toy, cats know how to live life to the fullest! 🐱💕 Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate specific times for feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medication (if needed). I also make time for cuddles and relaxation, ensuring each pet feels loved and attended to. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate pets' unique needs and rhythms, providing a sense of security and comfort. Whether it's a mid-day check-in or an overnight stay, I'm committed to providing top-notch care and attention. I care for pets in client's homes with utmost attention to safety, trust, and environment. Here's how: - *Safety First*: I conduct a thorough risk assessment of the environment, removing any hazards or toxic substances. I ensure gates are secure, and windows are closed to prevent escape or injury. - *Comfort Zone*: I create a cozy and comfortable space for pets, complete with familiar bedding, toys, and treats. I maintain a clean and hygienic environment, adhering to strict sanitation standards. - *Trust Building*: I take time to build trust with each pet, learning their habits, likes, and dislikes. I provide gentle handling, calm interactions, and plenty of affection. - *Client Communication*: I keep clients informed about their pet's activities, appetite, and any issues that may arise. I also welcome feedback and requests, ensuring their pet receives the best care possible. - *Emergency Preparedness*: I have a emergency plan in place, including a list of contacts, a first-aid kit, and a backup power source (if needed). By following these guidelines, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my care.

About: I grew up on a ranch and have been around animals my whole life. I absolutely adore all animals, but especially dogs and cats, and love to get in my cuddles and animal lovin’ in whenever I can! I have experience with all different types of animals, and will love, care and respect all pets as if they were my very own. I love all breeds of dogs, I do not discriminate against any particular breed, I just ask that if there is anything I should know about your pet, to know ahead of time so there are no surprises. I have 2 cats and a King German Shepherd puppy of my own :) Sirah, Tikka and Thor! I am a full time server, so my schedule does vary day to day- however I do know it about 2 weeks in advance and am able to work around it fairly easily.

About: I grew up with animals and have always loved having them around - I am an empathetic person who is very sensitive to animals needs. They bring great joy into our lives and I believe in return we owe them the best care possible. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I can work around your animals needs, give them as much exercise as needed, and be with them so they don't feel as stressed out being separated from you. I have an "adventure mobile" I am not afraid to get dirty and love taking dogs out for hikes and river adventures if they are up for that.
About: Having spent my whole life around dogs, from German Shepherds to Yorkshire Terriers, Working dogs to pets I feel I have a great understanding of how to interact with a vast variety of breeds, even the particularly headstrong ones! Working previously in an environment that required me to learn a lot about nutrition, training, general health and collar and harness fitting I feel I was able to develop skills in pet management and learn how to create and nurture bonds with new pet friends. Getting to know pet owners that were brand new to the life that having a dog allows right through to those that had been doing it for years and just wanted a little advice was also super beneficial in learning how to adapt different methods that would work for both owner and pet to create the happiest of environments. With regards to my own experience in pet care I have learnt how to administer medication for diabetes and other ailments whether that be through injectable’s or oral medication and am comfortable in ensuring this is done correctly and on time. Working late afternoon shift work, I have the majority of my mornings free along with a couple of set days and would love to spend this time engaging with different animals and providing a service for anyone who might need it! I am very comfortable around both small and large breeds of dog and am happy to follow instructions on how you would best like them to be cared for within your home whether that be specific restrictions around the home or set meal/ medication times.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Golden on Rover is $26.75 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Golden. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities in Canada require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Golden.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits, dog walking, and doggy day care. 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.
To find walkers in Golden with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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 walker.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 Golden 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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
