About: I have many years of experience taking care of animals from in-home pet sitting, to volunteering at animal shelters. I have two dogs at home and will treat your pets with the same amount of love and care as if they were my own. I am currently working as an in-home caregiver for the elderly, so my schedule is very flexible. Since I make my own schedule, I can be available at any time of day! I have an active lifestyle so if your pet loves to play, take walks, etc. we would be a perfect match! Due to my work as a caregiver, I will be very attentive to your pets diet, allergies and medication.

About: Hi! I’m Liv, and I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. I grew up on a small farm, so I’ve been around animals from a young age and have always had a strong love and respect for them. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own French Bulldog, Bruno. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m responsible about keeping up with their routines and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s individual schedule and needs, whether they need lots of activity and playtime or simply some companionship and cuddles. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, and bathroom breaks when needed. I also make sure to give them plenty of attention and companionship while respecting their individual personality and boundaries. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m attentive to details, keep their space clean, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

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.

I just started a 12 hr shift and wouldn't be able to help so Alma went out of her way to get Dolly bland food and a probitotic! There is absolutely nothing more comforting knowing that she cares for her like I would while I have to be away. Thank you so much for your heart and my piece of mind Alma! Dolly and I just love you and appreciate everything you do!! ?❤️”

“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!!”

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!

About: What truly sets me apart from other sitters is that I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats and a wide variety of small and exotic pets. Because of this lifelong exposure, I’m comfortable with animals that have different needs, temperaments, and care routines. I understand that every pet is unique, and I’m patient, attentive, and adaptable in my approach. Whether it’s energetic dogs, shy cats, or pets that require specialized care, I provide a calm, loving, and knowledgeable environment so every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine, even with a busy schedule. I’m a senior in high school, work a part-time job, and play competitive soccer, which has taught me strong time-management and responsibility skills. Despite my commitments, I always make it a priority to set aside time to care for animals because it’s something I genuinely love and enjoy. Spending time with pets is something I look forward to—it’s rewarding, grounding, and never feels like a chore. I’m organized and dependable, and I make sure every pet receives the attention, care, and consistency they need, no matter how full my schedule may be. I provide attentive, personalized care whether pets are in my home or in their own home. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication, and any special routines. I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe by keeping their environment clean, calm, and familiar. For dogs, I provide regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats and smaller pets, I focus on maintaining their routines, cleaning habitats or litter boxes, and giving them appropriate enrichment and care. With animals that require more specialized care, such as reptiles, amphibians, or small mammals, I carefully monitor temperatures, feeding schedules, and habitat conditions. No matter the setting, I prioritize safety, patience, and communication. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure owners feel confident knowing their pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover, and after more than 20 years of caring for them in different capacities, I still think getting to spend time with dogs is one of the best parts of life. They have so much to teach us about love, loyalty, and living in the moment. I’ve been the go-to dog sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for years, helping with everything from walks, feeding, and bathing to longer-term pet sitting. Because I work from home, I can spend the day with your dog, providing plenty of company, attention, walks, and playtime without leaving them alone for long stretches while you’re away. I also foster dogs through Animal Friends Alliance and have cared for dogs with a variety of needs, from puppies to older dogs recovering from major surgery. Fostering has made me even more patient, observant, and attuned to what each individual dog needs to feel safe and comfortable. I know how hard it can be to leave a beloved pet behind, so I’m happy to send plenty of photos and updates while you’re away. I want you to feel comfortable knowing your dog is happy, getting lots of attention, and being cared for by someone who genuinely loves being around them. I work from home, so I’m around most of the day and love that it gives me the flexibility to spend plenty of time with the dogs I’m caring for. I may step out for a few hours here and there for errands or other commitments, but otherwise I’m fully available to accompany your fur kids! Whether I’m pet sitting, stopping by for a visit, or taking your dog for a walk, I’ll follow their normal routine and any instructions you leave closely. I’m attentive to safety, medications, meals, walks, playtime, and all the little things that help your pet feel comfortable and cared for. When I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. My goal is for your pet to be happy and relaxed and for you to feel completely at ease knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I have cared for animals for years, Including my aunts dog who has megaesophagus and needs special care. I love animals and have always treated them like my own. Pet care fits into my daily routine easily. This is because I love spending time with animals. I am not bothered by planning my day around walks, feedings, or even check-ins. I will be glad to make sure your pets are doing well. When I care for pets in a clients home, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and familiar environment.

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.

About: I've been dog sitting and walking for 12 years for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities! Dogs love me because they sense my gentle and kind nature. I am great with shy or nervous dogs as I respect their boundaries and let them approach me at their own pace. I love to play with dogs and take them outside for walks or to the dog park! I own my own business and work from home or anywhere with an Internet connection, which means I have an extremely flexible schedule and can stay in your home for an extended amount of time. I build trust with pets by approaching them with gentleness and patience, letting them go at their own pace when getting to know me. I am great at adjusting to their schedule and routines, so they have a sense of normalcy while you are away.

About: For more than 15 years, I've been the person friends call when they need someone they completely trust with their pets and their home. I've cared for dogs and cats for everything from daily walks and check-ins to several-week stays, and I genuinely love getting to know each animal's unique personality. I naturally build trust with animals and have found that even more anxious, reactive, or shy pets often settle quickly with me. I've cared for dogs with social anxiety, leash reactivity, and strong personalities, and I enjoy helping them feel safe, confident, and understood. I'm also comfortable with puppies and reinforcing basic training and routines while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, my goal is always the same: to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for so you can have complete peace of mind while you're away. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy getting outside, staying active, and spending time with animals. When I'm caring for a pet, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. Whether that's regular walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication, or simply quiet companionship, I enjoy giving each pet the attention and care they need to feel comfortable while their family is away. Clear communication is also important to me, so I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages to let you know how your pet is doing. I currently offer care in my clients' homes, where pets can stay in the environment they know and love. I find that keeping their routine as consistent as possible helps them feel safe and relaxed while you're away. I take the time to get to know each pet's personality, energy level, and preferences. Some love long walks and lots of play, while others are happiest with quiet companionship and sticking to their routine. I enjoy meeting them where they are and giving them the care they need rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. I'll make sure your pet has fresh food and water, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection if they want it. I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in good hands. At this time, I am not able to provide boarding in my own home, so all of my services take place in my clients' homes.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Fort Collins

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fort Collins is $20 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 2,452 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 .

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. 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.

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 , 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.
