About: Throughout my childhood, I grew up with dogs. While I do not currently have a dog, I take care of my parents’ dog and three cats when they are out of town. I am also a cat mom to a lil kitten named Merlin. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! Whether it’s taking them on walks, feeding them, or just hanging out with them while you are gone. I love animals so much, I decided to get a degree in the conservation of them! I am currently in between jobs meaning that I can care for your pets anytime! Whether you need me weekdays, weekends or even if you are going on a trip, I am very flexible! While I am not comfortable hosting pets in my home at this time with a kitten, I am more than happy to walk dogs, do day visits or pet sitting while you are gone on a trip.
About: Ever since I adopted a dog, I found a love for taking care of them. I want to provide the care and love they need. I am flexible, dependable, and hardworking because I want to provide the best care possible! I am currently a student at CSU in Fort Collins. I am fairly open during the weekends and weekdays for dog sitting/overnights. I may need early notice for dog walking/dog check-ins because most of my classes are during the day. I also work an evening job, so just let me know ahead of time when you need care! I am very respectful of spaces and will clean when necessary. I will text about any questions or concerns that may arise during the service.
About: I’m a dog lover who’s had dogs in the family most of my life. I recently lost my goldendoodle to old age, and for the first time in decades, I don’t have a dog at home. I’d love to share some of my extra dog love with yours—whether that means a walk, some playtime, or just good company when you can’t be there. Pet care fits easily around my work schedule. I work from home and am usually available for walks and drop-in visits from morning through evening. I strive to follow your pet’s normal routine and can often be flexible about timing. I love long walks and am happy to accommodate your dogs' needs. Keeping your pet safe is my top priority. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as familiar as possible. On walks, I’m attentive around other dogs and try to avoid interactions that seem uncomfortable or stressful. I’m careful with doors and gates and make sure your pet is settled and secure before I leave.

About: I have been around animals since I was about 8 years old, mostly dogs and horses, and I have always loved taking care of and being around them. I have helped potty train, kennel train, and leash/harness train my family dog and friend’s dogs, and learned from a young age how each animal has different personalities and needs that are very important to pay attention to! I also currently volunteer at two different shelters: Animal Friends Alliance with both cats and dogs, and at All Aboard Animal Rescue with events and activities. I am currently a student at CSU, but when I’m not at class, I have a lot of time to give to the animals! I am completely free on Fridays and weekends, and during the week I am always available in the afternoons. Being around animals is a big part of who I am, and other than school, helping and taking care of animals is a big passion of mine! I have a large fenced balcony, and lots of safe sidewalks to take good walks on! I can provide plenty of couch and bed space for a nap, toys for some playtime, and a crate if needed. I have many options including hosting the animal at my apartment, your place, or just taking the pet for walks!
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Audrey was super attentive in her house visits for my kitty while I was out of town. My senior kitty, Josie, is a little shy and doesn’t warm up easily sometimes. She loved Audrey and was a proper lap cat with her! Audrey spent extra effort to cater to her needs, and I could tell how happy Josie was from the photos Audrey posted. I absolutely recommend her!!”

“Been using Stacey’s service multiple times for a while know. Always dependable, trustworthy, reliable, very punctual and communicative. She’s our go-to take care of our cats every time. Highly recommended!”

About: I have 18 years of experience of taking care of pets (dogs, cats, fish). I care about each pet’s well-being which includes mental stimulation. I have experience of taking care/training puppies, thus I am very comfortable with handling puppies. Most importantly, I care and treat every pet as if they are our own. I am a freelancer, work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I can take your dog for multiple walks each day and play in our fenced backyard. It’s very rare that any dog is left home alone. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood and have a fenced backyard. I also have a very friendly and active goldendoodle that your dog can play with. To ensure safety and ultimate care, I take only 1 client at a time. I provide daily update and pictures of your dog when they stay with us.
About: I have cared for a litter of puppies, adolescent, adult, pregnant and senior dogs. I am experienced at administering medication, exercise and lots of love I am currently searching for a full time job, so I have a very open schedule should you need pet care any time of the day and or overnight. I provide care in your own home so that your pets can be comfortable in their home environment while you’re away. I also administer medication
About: I got my first puppers when I was 9 years old and when I turned 10 I was able to help out at the local shelters. It has never made me feel more in love with dogs and want to help them. I love walking, talking, and just having dogs in my presence. Dogs are one of a kind and each one is unique and I love it. They’re cuddly, cute, and fantastic. I can guarantee that your dog will have my 100% attention while with me. I have trained dogs in the past, the simple things. Sit, lay, roll over, hug (my favorite) and fetch. I absolutely adore animals and can not wait to get to meet to play, feed, and love on your pet the best I can while you’re gone at work or even for a little getaway!

“Emilia is fantastic! She took excellent care of our kitty while we were away for a few days. She is very reliable, and clearly loves animals - and they love her. :) I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have taken care of a bunch of different pets over the course of 5 years. I have cared for and played with many animals ranging from lizards to bunnies to cats and dogs. I have babysat many furry babies including ones with special care like health problems or seniors. I currently work at the foothills mall about 6 hours a week so I’m free pretty much all the time. I do have one more year of school so during the school year I’m slightly busier. I have had dogs come to my house before for babysitting but I have a very nervous dog at home and I'd prefer not to.
About: I’m a lifelong animal caregiver with over five and a half years of experience working in veterinary hospitals, where I worked in daycare, boarding, and front desk operations. My role gave me daily exposure to pets with all kinds of medical needs, behavior challenges, and special routines, and it taught me how to recognize emergencies, communicate clearly with owners, and keep pets safe and comfortable. While most of my vet‑hospital work was front desk and care coordination, I’ve gained extensive hands‑on experience at home caring for my own pets and pets I’ve sat for. This includes oral medications, injectable insulin for diabetic cats, fluid administration for senior cats, and monitoring pets with chronic conditions. My own cat recently lived to 20 and required daily special care, so I understand how important gentle, consistent medical routines are. I also worked in Physical Therapy, assisting the therapist, helping pets with mobility exercises, stretches, strengthening routines, and comfort‑focused handling. I’m familiar with braces, wheelchairs, and supportive devices, and I’m comfortable helping pets maintain the training or therapeutic exercises they’re already working on (including basic puppy training). I’m especially good with shy, scared, or anxious animals. I’ve always had a calm presence that helps nervous pets warm up quickly, and I take the time to understand each animal’s comfort level and communication style. Beyond dogs and cats, I have extensive multi‑species experience: • Pocket pets (guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, rats) • Reptiles (snakes, lizards, frogs) • Birds (large parrots to small finches) • Aquatic pets (frogs, fish, aquarium care) I’ve personally had dogs my entire life and cats since I was 10, and I’m comfortable with everything from puppies and kittens to very large dogs and fragile seniors. I’m also unfazed by the messy realities of pet care — litter boxes, accidents, vomit, picking up poop, mud, grooming cleanup, bathing, and nail trims (preferably with my dremel). Whether your pet needs gentle companionship, structured exercise, continued training, mobility support, or medical‑routine consistency, I provide calm, reliable, and detail‑oriented care. I send thorough updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I'm available most days, including weekends. Late night bookings are welcome. I'm only available for Early mornings on rare occasions. This is my primary job, so my availability is rather open. I currently have 2 older dogs, a young cat, and a snake. Both of my dogs are given oral medications daily and have fish oil added to their evening meals. One of my dogs is a very picky eater, so all of his meals involve mixing wet and dry food. I also recently lost a 20 year old cat who required daily oral medications, a special type of kitty litter, and injectable subcutaneous fluids routinely. I also regularly care for a diabetic cat who requires injectable insulin at specific times every morning and evening. My snake usually gets fed frozen mice (that have been warned up).
About: I've lived with cats and dogs my entire life, and I love being around them. From St. Bernards to Boston Terriers, to Maine Coons to Cornish Rexes, there have been a wide variety of animal pals in my care. In addition to that, I've also done washing, nail trimming, and administered basic medications, both oral and topical. At the moment, I have open availability. Even if you need a night walk for your pets, I can do that too. All breeds welcome. I check locks, windows, and doors multiple times a visit to ensure that I have not left anything open or unlocked. I also try to be mindful of where the pets are, so they do not have the chance to escape.
“Johnny was a lifesaver, and absolutely went above and beyond to look after my cat while I was away. The photos and videos he sent were always fantastic and made me feel confident that my cat was happy and healthy. Highly recommended!”

“Anna is personable and dependable. She quickly made friends with our skittish cat, and she sent a great update and lots of pictures each day. We will hire her again!”

“Eryn is extremely attentive and communicative, and clearly loves spending time with our pup and kitty. It’s always a good feeling to know that Greta and Lindy are in Eryn’s hands while we’re away.”

About: I am a Master’s student at CSU for Veterinary Clinical Care, formally trained as a veterinary assistant, and specialize in medical care for anyone needing a little extra attention! I am CPR certified through RECOVER, certified cat friendly through the FelineVMA, and I am currently completing my Fear Free Certification. I am well equipped to handle any curveball your fur baby may throw at me, and I look forward to meeting you and your kiddo(s)! I am currently a Master’s student, so I am generally busy from 8a-12p on MWF, and I work occasionally at an ER, but with enough heads up, I am more than happy to work with your schedule! I currently have my own cats (who do not play nice with others) so while I am not able to offer boarding services, I can do in home care and have been doing so for many years now. I can stay overnight and help house sit or I can only come to let pets out/feed. Whatever is the best way for me to serve you! I am capable of giving medications, feeding specific diets, and have skills in first aid for your pets if they end up needing it!
“Brook was great with Charlie. She played out in the snow with him and refilled his water. She took lots of great pics. She made sure my doors were locked tight and even brought a package in for me. I would book with Brook again.”

Olivia did an excellent job with my two Labrador Retrievers and 2 house cats. She was a very good daily communicator for drop-in visits and house-sitting. Everything went smoothly during the 3 weeks I was out of the country . I will contact her about availability next time I travel! Thanks a BIG bunch --- P and A approved too! :-)!

Taylor is so kind & gentle with my senior dog, while giving my 3 year old golden exercise and play time. I appreciate her veterinary background , especially with my senior dog , so I know they are well cared for while I’m out! Thank you Taylor for caring for my pups!

Haley is the best! So lucky and grateful to have found her — my dog, who can be a bit wary of new people, especially when they’re letting themselves in the house, absolutely adores her and gets so excited when Haley comes by for walks. She is super timely, responsive, and treats my dog with so much care. Thank you Haley!

Meghan was absolutely wonderful watching our dog, Lennie. She kept us updated with sweet pictures of him getting lots of love and attention. She was also incredibly attentive to his needs, making sure he felt comfortable when he got a little nervous. This was one of our first trips without him, and knowing he was in such good hands completely put our minds at ease. We highly recommend her!

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.
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 Fort Collins 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 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
