Lisa was a wonderful help getting my dog exercised. My dog loved her walks with Lisa and was very excited to see her each day. Lisa provided pictures too which was great for my piece of mind . I definitely recommend Lisa.

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.

I was traveling on vacation and had Chloe watch Ava for me during my stay at Whistler Village. I was concerned about Ava because she is an extremely shy dog, we’re in a new place, and we recently lost her companion dog buddy. I was very surprised to see Ava take to Chloe almost immediately. Ava in the past has sometimes sulked in her kennel or curled up in the corner and is not interactive. Chloe managed to take Ava out on walks several times and even sent some photos of them cuddling on the couch. I can’t say enough good things about Chloe. She was flexible and very attentive to our special needs. Absolutely five gold stars.

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 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: I believe the best care starts with understanding your pet’s unique routine, personality, and training. That’s why I like to go on a few walks with you and your furry friend before sitting, so I can get a feel for how you connect. My goal is to keep things consistent and stress-free, while making sure your pet feels loved, safe, and understood. I prioritize quality time — whether that means long walks, play sessions, or just quiet company — so your pet gets not only reliable care, but also a trusted companion. Caring for animals is something I naturally build my days around. I enjoy starting and ending the day with walks, play, or quiet cuddle time, and I make sure feeding and care routines stay on schedule. Since I prioritize quality time, I set aside space in my day for enrichment — whether that’s a walk, interactive play, or just being present for companionship. My routine is flexible enough to adapt to your pet’s needs, so they get consistent attention without disruption to what they’re used to. I love caring for pets in their own home because it keeps them happy, relaxed, and surrounded by what’s familiar. Sticking to their routine makes everything feel normal while you’re away, and I’m there to give them extra love and attention. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pets, leaving things just as you like them.

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. I have a huge fenced yard, which is great for playing and zoomies. In your home, I will accommodate to what you have to offer and what your fur baby is used to.

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.

We love Lisa! She’s honestly the best cat sitter, not only did she make our kitty’s Christmas extra comfortable by being a friendly face that visited every day, she also cleaned up his accidents without a fuss, plowed our walkway when it snowed a ton, and if that wasn’t already incredible, she also made him a little crocheted toy 🥹. Lisa goes above and beyond when caring for animals, we feel so lucky to have her take care of our boy when we aren’t there.

Mollie had drop in visits with my senior cat Maggie while I was away. She took great care of Maggie and gave her some good snuggle time. Mollie’s communication was great. I would book her again. Thanks Mollie!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Golden

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Golden on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. 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.

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 travelling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer poop breaks during a Golden 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 based on 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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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!

Every sitter 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.

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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

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.
