About: I grew up around dogs. At just 10 years old, my mom involved me in dog sitting for a neighbor. I worked for her until I turned 18, cleaning kennels, walking the dogs, and dog sitting when she traveled. During college and afterward, I managed a dog care and senior dog shelter, dedicating my time to caring for the dogs. After work, I would walk the shelter dogs. I have two rescue dogs of my own and simply love being around animals. I love being around animals. I'm currently in between jobs and seeking new opportunities, but in the meantime, I would love to spend some quality time with animals. It really helps bring joy and comfort to my days. I live in the beautiful mountains with my two rescue dogs, who bring so much joy to my life. If the pet is staying at its home, it will enjoy cuddles and plenty of treats.
About: I love animals. I’ve had dogs my entire life. To tony Lhasa Apsos, German Shepherds, and Pitt-bulls. Aggressive or reactive dogs don’t scare me- I’ve worked with both and have seen amazing results. I am patient, kind, and calm in all situations. I am willing to make anything for you work for me! My own dogs are never alone for that long and I wouldn’t let your dogs be either. I will follow all your instructions to the letter. I will make sure that the environment is safe for all of your fur babies and they are happy.
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was 4 years old and my goal is to return even half of they joy they provide in our homes. I love spending time outside, so if your dog loves walks and the outdoors (heat permitting) I will make sure we get outside! And vice versa, everyone loves a lazy day on the couch. :) I have been traveling for the last year and have been taking care of friends' dogs and houses along the way. I am flexible on location and distance to travel to help you out if overnight stays. When entering someone else's home, I support the dog in feeling comfortable with a new person and giving them plenty of love (whether that's snuggles, belly scratches, long walks, time to sniff outside, etc.).
About: I’ve been around animals all my life. I pay attention to what each pet needs, whether it’s a bouncy pup who needs play or a senior dog who deserves patience and a softer pace. I just want them to feel safe and loved while you’re away. I am available full time and have plenty of flexibility to care for your dogs, giving them consistent attention, playtime, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love throughout the day. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family. In my care, they get a safe, comfortable environment, plenty of attention, and a consistent routine.” In client homes, I respect your space and follow your dog’s normal routine, making sure they have fresh water, a comfy place to rest, and, of course, lots of love and supervision
About: I have had dogs,cats,bunnies,chickens throughout my life. I know how to care for each one. I am a trusted and reliable handler with any family pet(s). Being a animal person is in my blood and I absolutely love it and enjoy caring for them. Currently I have a part time job. I also ride horses for friends that are away on trips. Together they don't pay my bills. Working with dogs and other animals for clients I have been thinking of doing for awhile now. It would be much appreciated to have you as my client and make this a career. I already have three dogs with me. Having any animals stay over at my house will not be an option at all. My dogs can be very wild and not the best behaved around new furry friends. For the safety of your pet and mine it would be best to dog sit over night at the clients home if preferred. Everything else is open.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I am currently a full time student without a flexible schedule. I don’t have a job, so I have plenty of availability for your dogs. I have a dog back home who is truly my best friend, and I miss him so much while I’m away. I’ve always absolutely loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I would love to play with your dogs, take them on walks, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never lonely while you’re away!
About: As a Licensed Veterinary Technician and a lifelong dog lover, I bring professional experience and a genuine passion for caring for animals. Having owned dogs since childhood, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I'm dedicated to providing loving, reliable, and personalized care for every pet! I have a relatively flexible schedule that allows me to step away as needed to provide your animal care at different times of any given day! I have a 2 bedroom condo that would allow me to provide care for one small cat/dog friendly dog, as I have a young golden retriever and 2 cats of my own. If care is needed in your home, I am happy to drop in for some playtime, cuddles, or an adventurous walk!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I worked at the Boulder humane center for over five years as a certified dog handler and caretaker. I ran my own small business for dog walking and dog sitting with over 100 clients. Been on rover for a while, happily servicing dogs in the Bozeman Area! I am a recent grad with a passion for dogs! I studied engineering at MSU and pride myself on my time management and punctuality. I am working part time as a ski Instructor with a flexible schedule. This goes to say but if my calendar says I’m available, I am! I currently live in an house with a non fenced yard. We do live backed up to a park, and it is a great space to let any dog run around or do their business!
“Anjani was amazing! She totally helped me out last minute when we had a cancelled sitter. We were in a funky old Airbnb with lots of quirks and she follow a ton of instructions perfectly. Communicated well, great photos and the dogs seemed really happy and tired when we got back. I would have no reservations or worries about booking for Anjani in the future !”

About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have my dog Mr.Darcy (2 years old) who I'm actively training and my lovely cat Lucifur.

I love to rescue stray or wild animals whenever I get the chance I'm an artist who's new to Denver looking to care for critters most of my time. High maintenance / energetic dogs are preferred but I truly love all animals. It's extremely important to me to listen when pets communicate. Dog language and behavior is something I spend most of my time researching just for fun.
About: I have a mini golden doodle that I care for and have watched many pets in the past. I love animals and love to play with them! I feed my dog every morning before my classes and walk her once a day. I give her attention whenever she wants it with no complaint. I am very good at following instructions and paying attention to detail and could definitely do anything a client asks of me in a satisfactory manner.
About: I have taken care and love dogs since I was a very young age. I am stern yet playful with all pets. I have walked, fed, bathed, and giving medication to animals before. I am a gig worker.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 7+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own lab, Roxy, through every stage of life, from adulthood through her senior years. I also have experience supporting dogs with mobility challenges, including senior dogs, amputees, and dogs undergoing cancer treatment and chemotherapy. I’ve dog-sat a variety of breeds and personalities, from energetic dogs like Australian Shepherds and Corgis to laid-back companions like Pugs and French Bulldogs. I understand that every dog has different exercise, enrichment, and comfort needs, and I tailor care accordingly. Your dog will stay in our spacious single family home with access to a semi-fenced backyard and plenty of room to relax. I work from home, so I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and monitoring senior or medically complex dogs. Having cared for Roxy through cancer treatment, including oral chemotherapy, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels. I intentionally host only one client’s dog(s) at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention and care. Your pup will have the company of two dog-loving adults in the home, no other animals and no children. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy, a couch cuddler, or needs a little extra support in their senior years, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pup! 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide regular supervision, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Because I only host one client’s dog(s) at a time, your pup receives plenty of attention and care rather than being one of many dogs in a busy boarding environment. My schedule is flexible, making it easy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine. Your dog will stay in our spacious 2,400 sq ft home with access to a semi-fenced backyard, many nearby walking trails/dog parks, and plenty of indoor space to relax. There are two dog-loving adults in the home and no children. I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, amputees, and dogs undergoing cancer treatment and chemotherapy. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, and adapting care to your dog’s individual needs. For safety and personalized attention, I only accept one client booking at a time.

Emma took GREAT care of my cat while I was out of town. She played with him, got him fed, dealt with his littler and was on time - very reliable! My cat is very particular but he loved emma so I think she must be a pet whisperer :) Highly recommended Emma for any of your pet sitting needs and will be using Emma next time my little guy needs a visit!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 9,512 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Downieville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Downieville. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitter.
