“Jasper was responsive and easy to communicate with. He sent lots of photos of our dogs and even our grumpy 13yr old senior dog loved him. Stayed with our 3 dogs for 3 days. Will definitely have him watch them again.”

“Faith was well taken care of and I received pictures and updates from Danica which I appreciated!! Faith was relaxed and happy when we arrived home! I felt completely comfortable and relaxed with Danica taking care of Faith, knowing she was in good hands!”
About: My first name is Cheryl but I go by Brynn! I recently said goodbye to my soul dog of 16.5 years. Mowgli taught me the joys of loving a dog. The silence in my home is so loud. From the moment I brought Mowgli home we worked on training, potty training, manners, socialization and cuddles. As Mowgli became older, I helped him on steps, slowing down, enrichment activities and ensuring his days were filled with love and peace. Over the course of almost 2 decades together, I have watched many dogs for play dates and overnights. It has always been part of my mission to help others so when the time came for me to travel, Mowgli was cared for. I am here to help others while my heart and soul heal from my tremendous loss. I own and operate a nationwide nanny and elder care agency. The business was designed around my sweet boy, Mowgli. He was promoted in June (2026). I am opening my home to other furry companions who may have separation anxiety, medical needs, or to those who want to walk often and play all day. Routine breaks, walks, and all the toys. My priority is to ensure your dog is safe and content in my space (or yours). For dogs that are staying with me, I enjoy having their energy in my home. For those visiting or going on walks, I do everything to put their comfort and happiness first.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up on a farm, my family always had multiple dogs and often cats, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. After college, I regularly pet sat and looked after my parents’ farm while they traveled, sometimes for trips lasting up to a month. This meant caring for multiple animals, sticking to feeding schedules, and making sure everything ran smoothly while they were away. I also helped raise and train my girlfriend’s dog from puppyhood, giving me experience with basic obedience, leash manners, socialization, and establishing a consistent routine. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet companion, I’ll treat them with the same care, patience, and attention I’d give my own. I work Monday through Thursday from 6:00 AM to 4:00 PM, but outside of those hours my schedule is very flexible. I’m available for early morning, evening, overnight, and weekend care, with full availability Friday through Sunday. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has unique needs, so I’ll take the time to follow your instructions closely, maintain their normal routine, and provide plenty of attention and care. I’ll keep your home clean and secure, make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always used properly, and treat both your pets and your home with the same respect I would my own. You can count on regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have cared for pets of friends and family for the last 12 years in their homes and in my own. I find joy in making sure they are safe, comfortable and have everything they need. I’m familiar and comfortable caring for dogs and cats that are senior and/or have special needs. I’m available between 6am and 10pm daily. Same day booking is available with 1 day cancellation. Looking forward to taking care of your precious pets! I will care for your pet/s at your home to your preferences. Crating, feeding, medicine, etc. Please provide detailed information as to your pets needs.
“Louis is great. He came over a couple of times before our multi-night trip and spent time getting to know the house and Buster. He was there early the day we left and stayed until I got home. Buster loved him, got plenty of exercise and had a blast. Louis left the house as it was when he got here.”
About: I grew up with cats, and have been taking care of others cats, dogs, turtles, chickens, and you name it since I was 10. With care ranging from giving my aging childhood cats shots, crushing up meds for my coworker’s senior dog, and even milking someone’s goats while they were out of town. Whatever your pet needs, I will take care of. And send a photo of you fur baby every day while I am at it. I’m an elementary art teacher, so during the school year I’m typically at work from 7:45 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you’re looking for care for your dog, I’d be happy to start the day with a morning walk before work and head straight back after school for another walk, playtime, and plenty of attention. On weekends and school breaks, my schedule is much more flexible. At this time, I only offer house sitting, not boarding. I know it takes a lot of trust to welcome someone into your home and care for your pet, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’ll stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away, keep your home clean and well cared for, and send regular updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Jessica was wonderful with Pepper and Moose! She kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. Both pups were clearly happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
“Melissa was fabulous!! We were in Glenwood for our wedding and needed someone to hang out with our little rescue Pomeranians. She was on time, communicated quickly, and gave our little nuggets the attention they needed to feel secure. Highly recommend booking Melissa for your dog watching needs.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, also have done dog sitting for neighbors growing up. For a while, I was the manager of a dog daycare/boarding/grooming/retail store servicing any where from 10-50 dogs per day. I’m happy to assist with puppy training, or just hanging out with your senior pup! I have 3 days per week with open availability, and available for overnights in the surrounding area. Let’s discuss how I can help get your pup the care you deserve! I treat all pets as they were my own. I am an animal lover through and through, they all deserve the best, most loving care.
About: I’ve owned and trained two dogs from puppyhood—a Husky and my current German Wirehaired Pointer, Lenny. Training and building a strong relationship with my dogs has always been important to me. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over 12 years, I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring. When your pup stays with me—whether for an hour, a day, or overnight—you can count on them getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. They’ll come home happy, tired, and ready to snuggle. I work from home so I usually get out for a walk or run in the morning. Afternoon jont to split up the day and then an evening activity depending on what is on the schedule. I have a fenced backyard and Lenny (my pup) to add to the fun. She’s a great companion to other dogs but also great for training.
About: Hi! My name is Hannah and I’m looking to get back into dog sitting/walking on the weekends. I grew up with dogs my entire life and have always loved animals. I have dog sat for neighbors and friends for years. I currently have a 7 year old Pyrenees/lab mix and he lives the best dog life. I’m strictly a weekend doggie caretaker as I work full time during the week. If you need a dog sitter while away for the weekend, I can help! I’m very patient and attentive to the dogs I will take care of. They will be in great care at my apartment and there’s plenty of (unfenced) property I live in but happy to bring them outside with a leash too. I am happy to watch your dog in your home as well!
About: I grew up on a small farm with lots of animals, always taking the dogs on walks or keeping the cat food away from raccoons. I've walked many people's dogs across the country of various sizes and ages and love having pets in the home while I don't have any myself. I usually am working from home or gone for a few hours a day. I love waking up and walking the dog outside before starting my day and winding down in the evenings the same way. Walking/outside breaks throughout the day is crucial for me and I love having a pet to accompany me. On the weekend I love to hike in the mountains and enjoy taking dogs. I have a park next to my apartment for easy walks., I'm always attentive to their eating schedule. Pets get a lot of attention and snuggles especially in the evening.
“My Lizzie can be a little skittish with stranger but Calvin went above & beyond to ensure she was happy & comfortable. Communication was consistent along with pictures & video. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been caring for fur babies since I graduated high school, giving both puppies and senior dogs the special attention they need. I love animals of every shape and size and treat them like my own—because let’s be honest, they run the household anyway. Your pet will get a happy, stress-free stay with plenty of love, snuggles, and top-tier spoiling. I work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for drop-ins and visits in the late afternoons and evenings. I’m also free all day on Sundays, as well as one select weekday depending on my schedule. If you communicate your needs ahead of time, I’ll always do my best to make it happen. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I come to your home so your pet can stay in their favorite place, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. I follow your instructions carefully and keep your home secure, tidy, and respected. You’ll always get clear updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I have experience administering medicine to dogs in the past. I love dogs and will take them on many walks and play with them all day! I live and work in Carbondale, and I love exploring the area on hikes and walks. I love animals, but I'm not at a point in my life to have my own. My schedule is flexible, and I would love to watch your dog or take them on a walk when you'reaway! Your dog will never be lonely with me! I'll go on multiple walks a day and love going to parks and on hikes! I'll make sure your pup enjoys their vacation as much as you will!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Jebel
Destiny was wonderful! At our meet-and-greet, she was professional, kind, and calm, and she immediately connected with our 13-year-old dog, Lizzy. We felt completely comfortable leaving Lizzy in her care, especially during the hot Colorado summer weather. Destiny kept us updated with just the right amount of communication and photos, and we came home feeling that Lizzy had made a new friend. We would absolutely recommend Destiny and look forward to having her care for Lizzy again!
Alice is maybe the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. My pup felt safe and happy with her immediately, and I did not feel worried for one moment of my trip. She went above and beyond taking great care of him and my house and keeping me updated the whole time. I whole heartedly recommend her. Thank you so much!!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred El Jebel walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in El Jebel maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 El Jebel 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!
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.
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.

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.

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 .

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.
