About: I’m a runner (I love to be active), horse owner (I care for animals big and small), remote employee (I have WFH flexibility), and most importantly an animal lover. I care for my horse, and other boarders’ horses, daily. I frequently dog-sit and walk for friends when they’re working or out of town. I’ve pet-sat cats, bunnies, and other horses. I also love digital and film photography, so cute pet photos are guaranteed :) I work from home, so I have time and flexibility to provide daily check-ins or walks. Available for morning, midday, and/or evening services. I am reliable, timely, and trustworthy. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I'll follow care instructions and ensure your dog or cat is getting the attention they need while you’re out.
“I missed a flight in Chicago and was stuck at O’Hare all day before heading back to Denver. Leta was able to care for Luka even while working at her other job. Leta thank you for caring for Luka at the last minute.”
“Tatum was very reliable in caring for our fur babies. She administered meds as requested and took our pups for walks like they needed. We would definitely trust Tatum again to care for our loves when we can't. Thank you Tatum!”
“Patrick was amazing. We were out of the country for his visits with our dog. His communication was timely and thorough. He went above and beyond with water plants, caring or our chickens, plants and cat as well at the dog. Will definitely recommend and use Patrick again.”
About: I've spent a lot of my life taking care of animals, particularly cats. I have a Zoology degree and experience with developing commands and various training exercises as well as handling proper food intake and oral medicine intake. I am available every day, most of the day! It will vary per-day but as long as I have a two-day notice I should absolutely be available! I will be vigilant with your pets, making sure that they get enough attention and do not get into anything that they shouldn't. If there are any specific rules that you have in your home or for your pet I will make sure to follow them to ensure a safe and happy experience for your animals!
“Outstanding pet sitter. I have an incredibly timid cat and Taylor was able to coax her out for cuddles. He even managed to give her some medication while I was gone. Great communication and pictures of my baby! Above and beyond!”
“As always, Erika is amazing !! She takes great care of of my little girl, and Moumou loves her ! She made arrangements to check in on Moumou at the last minute, which was so appreciated.”
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’ve been around animals for most of my life and have about 6 years of experience caring for them! I’m also currently studying Animal Science at CSU and have gotten hands-on experience working with different animals through volunteering. I absolutely love dogs and cats, and I know every pet has their own personality and needs. I always try to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away! I fit pet care into my schedule by dedicating time for walks, feeding, and play while balancing my classes. Even with a busy week, I make sure every pet gets consistent attention and care. Whether in my home or yours, I provide attentive and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. This includes feeding, playtime, walks, grooming if needed, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely to ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.
“Amanda did a great job and gave extra attention to our kitty when it seemed like she was getting lonely. Would definitely recommend her and request her again for future trips.”
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’ve been caring for animals my whole life! From dogs and cats to horses and chickens. I’m comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes including puppies and seniors. I’m patient, calm and confident in handling nervous or high energy pets. I absolutely love animals and will treat your pets like my own! I am a college student up at CSU currently. Since I’m not working another job right now, I can easily plan my days around pet care. Animal safety and comfort will always come first. I follow any routines or instructions you provide closely and make sure your fur babies always feel relaxed and loved! I’m also happy to provide updates so you can feel comfortable they’re in good hands
“Kai is excellent with all of our pets, we will definitely boom again! Communication is clear, arrival and departure times are punctual, the house was in great shape, and I can tell the doggies were happy.”
“Drew did an amazing job with my puppy during his drop in visits. I love how he leaves comments about everything that happened during the visit. He also sent lots of pictures for each visit which is definitely a plus, who doesn’t love seeing pictures of their fur baby! You can also really tell he loves doing this & enjoys spending time with animals. Definitely would book Drew again :)”
“thank you so much for watching Stevie! She’s not friendly with everyone so it’s good to know that she warmed up to you quickly. She seemed like a happy girl when we got back. ☻”
About: I had an elderly diabetic dog for a number of years until she recently passed away. Before she passed, I was her daily caretaker. I would give her insulin shots and feed her twice a day (she often did not want to eat but she had to to take her meds) as well as administered oral medications. Penny was a slow walker, but I am also a runner so I could take your dog for a short run if requested. I have never had a cat myself but have helped friends out with their cats off and on. My early morning work schedule allows me to spend time with your pets during the day. I have plenty of time for afternoon or mid morning walks. When outside of a controlled environment I will keep your pet on a leash at all times and also follow any guidelines that you have.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Collins
Ryan was extremely responsible and helpful in taking care taking care of Astor and buddy when I was facing a very difficult medical catastrophe. He faithfully kept him fed and threw the ball for buddy and basically kept the show running well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing dropping care.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fort Collins is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,420 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fort Collins. 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.
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 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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Fort Collins with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
