About: I am a compassionate animal caretaker and have worked with a variety of four-legged friends! I believe that a pet is family and deserves the best care possible. I have two dogs at home, and work with animal care professionally. I have about a decade of experience now working with domestic animal shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, and captive wildlife. I am Fear Free Certified which simply means I am equipped to put animal welfare above all else. I love to engage animals and I believe offering enough mental and physical stimulation is key for a healthy pet. I am a detail oriented and caring person, and I show the same love to your pets as my own! I prefer to provide care in the home the animal is already comfortable with and am happy to commute within Fort Collins or nearby. I am very open to working with any special requests you might have. I can provide medications and training as instructed. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your animal family! I will give your pets enrichment, playtime, medications, meals, or exercise as needed. I will meet with you prior to providing pet care to discuss the specific needs for your pet! I generally prefer to offer services in the client/pet's home where the animal is already comfortable. I can provide meals, potty breaks, reinforce ongoing training efforts, and offer enrichment/stimulation and playtime. We will meet and discuss the specific needs for your pet prior to beginning care!
About: I’ve always had pets in my household, both cats and dogs! I’ve walked and pet sit multiple neighborhood/friend’s dogs and cats and I have done over 100 services for others! I’m an avid animal lover of all sizes! I’d love to meet your cute dog (or kitty!), get to know them, and then care for them as they need. I do not have injected medication listed as a skill, however, I am certified in IV and IM (muscular injections) in humans if that helps! I will almost guarantee your dog will be best friends with me after we meet. My schedule is quite random at the moment but I try to keep busy with pet care in my free time! Please reach out with a time/day first! I like to follow the pet parent’s instructions to make sure I start it on a good foot! Communication is always key to taking care of someone’s pet(s)! Whether something happens or it was just a good day, I love to share the details of the booking! If something is new to me, like a way of feeding or walking, I’d love to be shown how! That way I can confidently do it in the future! I also have leashes for walking dogs as well as poop bags just in case!

About: I have been dog, cat, and even plant sitting since I was 14. I have over 500 hours of experience working as a veterinary assistant at small animal and exotic animal clinics! I’ve had 12 pets over the years and I currently live just with my cat meatloaf! I am currently job hunting, so I am free all day right now (other than visiting my own cat at home). I am happy to walk/ cycle to take care of your animal! I prioritize building a friendship with your pets, as I believe it helps me to provide the best level of care and trust. I am more than happy to play and/ or give them their space need be. You can be put at ease as I am open to paid cleaning agreements. Finally, it is my privilege to send a billion photos of your pets when I’m with them!
“Brianna is super professional and kind. We felt so safe leaving our very particular dog in her care. She has great communication and a special way with animals.”

“Isabella is great. She’s a great communicator, flexible and reliable. Bowie got a little bit of a sinus infection going on and she was willing to help administer his medication during her drop-in. I will definitely book again!”


About: I’ve done dogsitting for many friends, family friends, and neighbors over the years, and have worked in a grooming salon, so I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes! I’ve taken care of my own dogs as well and have plenty of experience there. I’m currently not working any other jobs, so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pets! As such, I’m free just about any time of day! I have experience with safe and proper restraints of pets, so you won’t have to worry about your pet running away on my watch. I’m also happy to crate your pet if that would make you both more comfortable, and there are no other animals at the house, so my home is fit for dogs who want to be the sole focus of attention! The dogs on my profile live with my parents, but I love them, so I wanted to add them anyways (:

About: I've been caring for animals for years and know that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. As the owner of three cats, I have daily experience providing loving, attentive care and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. I treat every pet like family and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust while you're away. My goal is to provide dependable care, keep your pet's routine consistent, and give them the attention and affection they deserve. As a part-time server, I mostly work evening shifts, which gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive care while keeping your pet's routine consistent. When I'm with your pets, they have my full attention and are treated with the same love and care I give my own three cats! I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in the comfort of their own home and stick to their normal routine. During each visit, I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and any exercise they need. I'll also keep their space clean, provide lots of affection, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while you're away. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
About: Hey there! I have a lifelong love for animals and I understand how important it is to take care of your furry friends. Balancing pet care and life responsibilities can be difficult, I am here to help make that easier! I've spent my life surrounded by dogs, you can trust me to take them on long walks or hikes, play with them in the yard, and care for them like they were my own. I'm free evenings and weekends, if you are looking for regular help I have some flexibility and am willing to work with you to build a schedule that works! While I don't allow other animals in my home I will make sure to abide by your rules not only to respect you but to maintain consistency for your pet.
“Sienna did a great job with my two cats and two dogs. One of my dogs, who is a senior, requires a lot of care and sienna did great with this. I felt totally comfortable leaving her in charge of the animals and will definitely use her again!!”
About: I have over 10 years of pet care experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from playful puppies to sweet seniors, and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. My own dog recently passed, and caring for your pup will help heal my heart while giving you peace of mind. I have experience administering insulin injections, oral medications, ear medications, and prescription dog washes, and I’m quick to learn any additional care your pet needs. I believe every dog is unique, deserving patient, personalized care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m a student at Colorado State University and have flexible hours throughout the week around my classes. I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, and medication, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide care in your home, ensuring your dog is well taken care of while building trust through consistent, attentive care. I do need to leave throughout the day to attend classes, errands, etc so I prefer dogs who can be left alone for up to 4-5 hours at a time. You can feel confident knowing your pet is safe, loved, and relaxed, enjoying their days even when you can’t be there.
About: I give a level of attention and care to each pet. I treat them like family and make sure their unique routines are followed so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience with both energetic puppies who need extra playtime and patience, as well as senior pets. Right now, I have a lot of open availability since I’m waiting to start my new job, so I can be very flexible over the next few weeks. Once I begin, I’ll still have plenty of time for pet care on weekends and during mid-afternoons. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine since I already enjoy staying active, spending time outdoors, and giving animals plenty of attention and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure to follow their regular routines as closely as possible—feeding on schedule, keeping up with walks or playtime, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own space. I give plenty of love, attention, and updates so owners know their pets are happy. Always open to any suggestions the owners have for me to make sure the animals and owners feel comfortable.
“Sarah was happy to check in on our dog Lilo on very short notice! She was quick to respond and was great checking in on our pup and giving her some love. We will book with 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.
“Elisa was an amazing sitter with our two kitties! She provides great notes and photos with every drop in which made me feel still connected with our cats 😊 my one cat is rather aggressive and they can't live in the same rooms as each other which makes finding a sitter a bit stressful, but Elisa was wonderful!”

About: I have cared for my own dogs and have dog sitting experience with friends’ pups. My partner has over 10+ years experience caring for his own dogs and being a Rover sitter. We have also been a foster family for over a dozen dogs for a local rescue. We have had puppies as young as 8 weeks and recently rescued pups that required a lot of gentle love as they began to find trust in human again. Between my partner and I, we are home during the workday at least 4 days a week. When both of us are in office, I only work 10 minutes from my house and can make frequent trips home to check on the pups and take them out. We live on 1/3 of an acre and have a nice, big fenced-in backyard. We also live in a quiet neighborhood and we frequently go on walks. Our home is very dog friendly and you will often find our pups cuddled up with us on the couch. We have two elementary aged kids who love dogs, are comfortable around them, and are very kind and gentle towards them. We have two large crates at home and several dog beds throughout the house. We have minimal stairs (7 steps to get upstairs) and most of our floor isn’t carpeting. We use positive reinforcement with our pups and never use punishment tactics. We are very patient and we know that potty accidents happen!
About: Especially looking for dog walking or drop ins!! Pet sitting has always been my favorite job! Wagging tails is my favorite thing to see 🐾❤️! I’ve grown up with animals all my life and know their behaviors. I work with all ages and take the proper steps to care for all. I have been pet sitting for 4 years. I have a lot of love to give and will help your pet feel cared for. I am 19 years old and study biology and botany at Colorado State University (I can water your plants too 😁🌱). I only do sitting in my client’s home. Because I am a full time student as well as have a job, there could be times where I need to be away for as long as 6-7 hours I do my best to go above and beyond to give clients security in knowing their pets are safe and cared for. Happy to do daily updates, photos, and keep owners in the loop! I have a few pups of my own so I know how important it is to know they are doing alright. Along with cat and dog care, I also have experience with farm animals such as llamas, chickens, ducks, bunnies and a few goats 🐐!! I would love to have a prior meet and greet to learn more about you and your pet. I have a pretty decent memory but always prefer to have a written down list/routine to follow while staying at your home. Housesitting includes overnight care (if you are comfortable with it), staying majority of the day, feeding, and letting out to potty/play. Walks are included with housesitting. During high school, I took a vet science course where we went over animal first aid and CPR. This knowledge will guide me if there are ever any critical situations with your pet. I am currently a college student so I will have class most days. I also have a job which I will work around. I will care for your pet and help them feel loved always. If I have to be away for a longer amount of time than usual, I will always let you know! I always travel to clients homes and to help make sure your pets feel comfortable with me. I am always happy to schedule a visit beforehand to ensure legitimacy and max comfort.
About: Like many people here, I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I have helped train both family/friends pets with patience or redirecting behavior rather than relying on punishment. I am a treat heavy household so please let me know of any dietary restrictions! As for why I want help take care of your fur babies, iv promised myself to keep my menagerie at a minimum. I would love to incorporate some new fur friends into my daily routine. I'm more that happy to schedule meet and greets to see if I'm a good fir for you and your family! I'm usually free all day Sunday through Wednesday with the occasional errand runs throughout the day. I'm more than willing to work my schedule around your needs. As for Thursday through Saturday, I will be at work in the afternoons and evenings with fur babys being alone for about 7-8 hours (if they are staying with me or need drop by visits) In my home visits: I will provide walks, outside time in the back yard, and dog park excursions (if permitted). I will also incorporate feeding schedules, medication and any other personal requirements that are needed. Communication is key! In your home visits: I will provided walks on each visit (unless otherwise discussed) scheduled feedings and play/snuggle time. I would prefer not to do overnights unless I can bring my dog with me and all pets get along with in your home.
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

Taegan is absolutely awesome! She is incredibly thorough and always makes sure she has all the details right before we leave.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
