“Cherie is awesome!!! She loves dogs and is so attentive to Izzy when she goes to doggy daycare! The pups are outside all day in the backyard and I'm always getting tons of photos of all the dogs playing literally all day. I'll be using Cherie as often as I can!”
About: Animals have captivated my heart; they are magnificent creatures that trust and love us no matter what. I treat our pets like children. We are a home based business that allows me to socialize them on a daily basis. I have worked at several animal care facilities over the years and learned a lot from them, so I am well-educated about animals. I started this business by prioritizing proper sanitation/care and safety procedures. My entire career has been animal-based; starting at 13, I began volunteering at shelters and stables. My first job was as a bather at a grooming salon; the lady taught me how to groom. My third & fourth job was at a vet hospital; I have probably done it. If you put that all together, I have decades of experience with animals. I adore animals and love what I do. I do not work a second job, taking care of animals is my main priority. Because I don't work a second job I am able to give my full attention to every pet on daily basis. I have an outdoor area for the Pets to use the restroom several times a day. We have a large 3500 square-foot building that can house 80 small dogs a day. I take pictures and videos daily and upload them to our Facebook page for owners to see how their babies are doing. I have worked at several veterinarian offices that have had me in kennel cleanup and so I do know the proper handling disinfecting and safety procedures that need to be performed daily.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 10. Have always had some sort of animal in my home & love each one. I have experience dog sitting for friends and family and would love to love on yours too! I’m currently working from home full-time during the week so I am able to provide round the clock care and love to your pets! Plenty of time for play and potty breaks. I have a fenced yard and one 12 year old dog in the home to provide company for your fur baby. I also have a 7 year old son who loves animals as much as me and loves to play outside!
About: I have raised dogs and cats since I was 5 years old. I also care for ducks, chickens, horse, and others. I own dogs, cats, ducks, and chickens. I have taken care of my aunts animals when she goes on vacation as well. I am an animal lover. I also have 2 kids who will be with me at all times, they are 5 and 8 and also love animals and love to care for them. I am 27 years old going to college to be a teacher and needing extra income to support my family. We live on grass mesa in rifle but have a vehichle to get me anywhere I need to go. Thank you in advance for considering me for caring for your family member. I currently am available anytime except Friday and Saturday from 4-11 as I work part time. I can come before or after work to care for animals those days. I have a dog run and all animals get free range of my house. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I keep animals separated for a little while to let them get comfortable with each other through a gate. When staying in your home my kids will be with me but they are very well behaved and will have iPads or other educational things to entertain them.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dawson commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.

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.
