About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. Ever since I was a little girl I would bring home injured or stray animals to care for. I've raised an assortment of pets from parakeets, cats, fish, bunnies, chickens, ducks, and many dogs. Our dogs are like our children to us. It's our goal to provide the very best life we could possibly give them with lots of love, structure, exercise, a good healthy diet, and medical attention when required. Any animal that comes in our presence will experience the same treatment. I work full-time remotely. While we don't have a yard per se, we live in the mountains bumped up against BLM land with lots of hiking trails and areas to walk. Our dogs get exercised daily on the trails surrounding our home. With my at-home work schedule, I have the flexibility to take walks for my breaks and lunch hour and to get up and take care of things as needed through out the day. We get up early and go outside immediately so our dogs can relieve themselves then we go in and have breakfast. After breakfast, I start work while the dogs tend to relax on the bed behind me. I will take them out to potty again on my first break then on my lunch hour, we go for a walk through the forest behind the house. They get another potty break on my second break and then another short walk after I sign out of work for the day in the evening time. We free-feed our dogs but if we have other dogs in the house we will adjust the feeding and schedule to the visiting dog(s). We are normally in bed around 10 pm and our dogs are fully on our schedule for sleeping. If we need to step out for a bit, our dogs are good being left alone in the house but we do have a crate if needed for dogs that aren't good being left alone.

About: I have years of both professional and personal experience caring for animals. l've worked in veterinary clinics and spent 3 years as an Animal Care Technician, where I cared for animals with a wide range of medical needs, personalities, and temperaments. I'm comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and recognizing when an animal may need a little extra attention or patience. I've also been a dog owner for over 15 years, and my dogs truly are my children and my entire world. Their happiness, comfort, and well-being always come before my own, and I'll bring that same level of love and attentiveness to your pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else's care. Whether your pet is outgoing and playful, shy and cautious, a senior who needs a slower pace, or has special care needs, l'm happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'll care for your pets the way I would want someone to care for my own. I'm a self employed full time artist and I work from home. My schedule is completely flexible and I can dedicate lots of time to be attentive and there for all your pets needs. Whether l'm caring for your pets in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel as safe, comfortable, and loved as possible. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I'll always follow your care instructions closely and adjust my approach to what makes your pet happiest. l'll do my best to keep their normal routine consistent, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, potty breaks, and of course plenty of attention and affection. I'll also respect your home and make sure everything is left just as I found it.

About: I am a huge animal lover and my dog, Goose, is my world. I find genuine happiness in taking care of dogs (especially if they get along with mine!) and I have Rover sat/walked several dogs in both Denver and Jackson Hole. I know how important it is to give dogs walks, love, and treats! I have spent a lot of time training Goose and I would ensure I adhere to whatever rule a dog’s owner has. I love matching a dog’s energy whether that includes cuddling with them, taking them on walks/hikes, or playing in the park. I’m a sucker for giving them treats but am VERY strict about no human food and adhering to whatever dietary restrictions they have! Dogs are my therapy; caring for them happy makes me happy. I work from home half of the week and am happy to adjust my flexible schedule as needed to ensure any dog’s needs are taken care of, including mine. I always ensure I’m aware of a dog’s walking behaviors. I never walk without a leash and do not allow them to go off lease and in a public setting until I know I’m comfortable with them. I never give in to begging for human food and always ensure I shut crates appropriately as desired by the owner. I often reward puppies with small treats for positive enforcing behavior.

About: My name is Moriah, and I am 31 years old. I worked for Wag! from August of 2017 to February of 2019. I also worked in a kennel/dog grooming facility when I was younger. Pets, and animals of all kinds, are my joy. I absolutely love working with them. They fill my heart with such happiness. I take pleasure and pride in treating your fur-babies as best as possible, and having fun with them is a unavoidable gift of each encounter. I will make sure to follow your instructions, and provide you with detailed reports of what we did and how things went. I will also send pictures and/or videos, of course! After doing this as my only source of income for about 8 years now, I know it is my passion. I would love nothing more than to take care of your pets while you are unavailable. I look forward to meeting each and every one of them! Pet care is my full time job, so I am able to provide your fur babies with all the love and attention they might need! I like to just hang out with your pets most of the day. I am flexible and match my schedule to theirs, following any and all instructions you have for me. They are my sole focus throughout the sitting, walk, or drop in. I pick up on their quirks quickly and forge strong bonds with them. I love to provide them with as much comfort and security as I can while their family is away. This is my full time job, so my weekly routine revolves around pet care. Not only do I love every minute of it, but I'm able to provide your animals the highest level of care that way! I follow all instructions that are given to me, and I tend to spoil your animals with love and attention! Sometimes treats as well, if they're allowed. I am able to stay at the pet's house with them nearly 24 hours a day, which they love. We have lots of fun together and always end up developing a strong bond with each other. Anything else that is needed or wanted, I will be happy to provide!

About: Hello pet parents! I hope you choose me to help care for your pets - I can't wait to meet them! I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I grew up with many varieties of animals among the years and numerous cats and dogs. I have always been a huge animal lover and can't wait until I have the property and space to home more friends! Until then, I am eager to meet others' animals and help take care of them and give them lots of love! The very first thing I have always done at new people's houses with animals is greet all of the animals. I am a highly energetic individual with a strong eye that seeks to pay attention to the needs of other beings. I am looking forward to hearing from you and your pets I make my own scheduled so I am highly flexible and available for caring for your pets! I have two cats and a fish that I give lots of love and attention daily - and looking forward to caring more for other animals too! I do not have a home space in which I am capable of taking in others animals currently, but I take care of the pets at the owners home this same way! First thing when I get home is to greet my pets and give them attention and love. I play for a little and then check to see the water bowl is full (and for my cats that the food is also - I know dogs are on a schedule). With dogs, I would regularly schedule times to take them out for walks - and make sure I match them for however they wanna walk! (Slow, adventurous, running a little faster) I make sure that I have plenty of plastic bags and treats to take with on the walk. I do not like to leave dogs alone for more than 2-4 hours. I love interacting with animals and giving them lots of attention!

“Alyssa was fantastic. Veda, our dog, fell in love instantly. Our last dog walker (not from Rover) failed to shut our front door and Veda got out- clearly, a dog parents nightmare. Needless to say, I was VERY nervous about trusting someone new. Alyssa understood how freaked out I was and stayed in communication about when she would be arriving, what happened on the walk etc. She sent great pictures and lots of updates. Alyssa is trained in working with dogs which also gave us peace of mind. We will definitely call Alyssa again.”

I am the go to pet sitter for my friend's, plus, word has gotten around and I have a few other clients that I sit for periodically. I've cared for dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Pet care is something I'm passionate about and take seriously. At 42 y/o I am going back to school! Working full time doesn't work with my schedule. Gigging does, plus I can do what actually love! Hang out with animals! In the clients home, I am diligent, and respect all the requests of the client especially when it comes to pet care. Overarching, is love. I provide calm and loving care. I understand that pets can get stressed without their primary caregivers. My job is to alleviate that as best I can. I have a natural ability to connect to animals which makes me a great choice for in home sitting, or drop in care. I'm also physically fit and I love to hike and walk with dogs. It's a win win win for me.

About: Beginning as a volunteer and rescuer, I then moved into pet and house sitting. I continue to foster and volunteer with a local animal rescue and treasure my time with all kinds of animals. I am creating this profile to highlight my specialty services such as dog running, homemade pet food, and portraiture.** A lover of all animals and nature, I’m happiest with both. My touch and voice are gentle, and my style is consistent. Having pets of all kinds and sizes growing up and continuing into adulthood has been a sincere source of joy, gratitude, and service. In the last few years, my time spent volunteering at a local rescue has greatly expanded my experience and skill- especially with special needs animals. Special services and care that I offer include: ~applying my professional chef training to prepare specialty pet food for unique needs, allergies, anxiety, or other conditions alleviated with herbs and nutrition ~when house/pet sitting for you, I’m happy to address the refrigerator and pantries to prepare food before it spoils and leaving you a home cooked meal upon your return or storing in your freezer ~professionally cleaned, organized, and stocked kitchen for you while you are at work or away Additionally, I have been trained and actively competing in Colorado roller derby for 7 years. Using this experience, robust padding, and training, I will exercise dogs that need more than a walk to take them at their pace and level on trail runs on my roller skates. In my many years experience of doing this with several clients as well as rescue animals in my foster care, I have observed many benefits such as: ~improved obedience ~naturally filed nails ~increased happiness and smiles ~less scratching, digging, jumping, whining, barking, and other undesirable behavior ~better sleeping ~improved health and well being The majority of my time during the day is spent outdoors hiking, roller skating the bike paths, or in the garden, and I love to have the company of animals for all of it. At night, I cook, dance, and will read aloud to whoever is in the house. I find animals love this too. As a private chef, I have a lot of time outside of scheduled private events and parties. I can build catering quotes, shop online, and write menus from anywhere. This leaves plenty of time and attention for animals in my care. I like to be outdoors as much as possible and having a pet companion makes it all the more enjoyable for me. I live in a clean and cozy townhouse very near multiple parks and paths. I use harnesses and good judgment while on excursions. I am trained in pet care, proper hydration, nutrition, and herbalism for pets. I never raise my voice and use positive reinforcement and fun to enlist cooperation. Furthermore, animals that are food motivated or fun motivated LOVE me. I love to be outdoors and active but can also cuddle inside for the furry friends that prefer one or both. If your dog likes to run, good news! I like to go fast on the bike paths! Caring for your pet(s) is the highest honor and takes priority while in my care. Please let me know about special needs, but otherwise you can trust that my regular routine is to play, be outside, laugh, show kindness, and provide stellar caregiving.

About: Hello, my name is Brianne! I live in the Denver metro area and have two dogs of my own, Boomer (12) and Penny (2). They’re my adventure buddies, whether we’re hiking Colorado trails, kayaking, or just playing fetch with Boomer’s favorite frisbee. I’ve cared for pets for years, helping family, friends, and neighbors with everything from daily walks to overnight stays. With experience caring for both energetic young dogs and sweet seniors, I understand how to meet each dog’s unique needs. What sets me apart is the love and attention I give. I treat every dog like they’re part of my family. I’m reliable, patient, and mindful of details like special diets, medications, and routines, so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I'm currently working part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to dedicate to pet care. Since caring for my own two dogs is already part of my daily routine, it’s easy for me to add in walks, playtime, or drop in visits for other pets throughout the week. I enjoy structuring my days around making sure animals get the exercise, attention, and love they need. Whether that’s a quick midday walk or a longer weekend adventure. When caring for pets in my own home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. I stick to their usual feeding and walking schedule, provide plenty of playtime, and give them a cozy space to relax. My dogs, Boomer and Penny, are friendly and love making new furry friends, so visiting pets get lots of companionship. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routines and instructions closely. I make sure feedings, medications, walks, and playtime are consistent with what they’re used to so they feel secure and cared for. I also provide updates and pictures so pet parents know their pets are happy and well looked after.

About: I currently take care of my family’s 2 dogs. We have had dogs in the house since I was born and was raised to care for them, the most we’ve had has been 4 at once. I believe that it is the people’s responsibility to give their pets the best life possible and I care for my dogs under that belief! I am a college athlete, therefore pet care is a luxury to step away from the action towards. My summer schedule is fully clear except for occasional 2-4 hour training sessions. I believe that pets depend on their caretakers for a complete, safe, and nourishing environment to be the happiest therefore I strive to give my pets and others the best lifestyle possible!

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
