“Stacy took care of our two rabbits while we were gone for a few days and did an excellent job! I would highly recommend her to anyone needing pet-sitting services. Stacy came out ahead of time to meet us, was on time each day with her visits, and faithfully sent us photos and updates after each visit. We knew our buns were in good hands! She also watered the flowers on our porch and moved our trash bin to the street for pick-up. Thank you, Stacy!”
“Carinne took wonderful care of our cats while we were out of town. Even our shy cat warmed up to her! She sent us photos every day and was very quick to communicate. We will definitely be reaching out to her again next time we go out of town!”
“Ashley took great care of our older kitty with medication needs! She went above and beyond by cleaning up after he vomited and taking care of our plants. Highly recommend.”

With years of hands-on experience, I understand the unique needs of each pup and am dedicated to providing personalized care. I look forward to offering your dog the same comfort, affection, and attention that I’ve always given my own. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities!! :] I'm currently working part-time from home, allowing me the flexibility to offer your furbabies the dedicated attention and care they deserve, at anytime and anywhere!! I provide tailored pet care both in your home and in your pet’s familiar environment, adapting to the specific needs of each service I offer.

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with lots of hands-on experience training and caring for both dogs and cats. I have two dogs of my own, one is a released service dog and the other is a service dog in training, so puppy raising, training, and working through tricky behaviors are a regular part of my life. I love taking dogs on walks, playing, and keeping them mentally engaged. I’m also a devoted cat parent and love creating enrichment and making sure cats feel comfortable and happy. My background raising service dogs means I bring extra patience, structure, and care to every pet I watch. I am comfortable with all ages and can handle any special needs or medications your animals may have. I treat all animals like family and can’t wait to care for yours! I'm a full-time student at CSU, but I have a very flexible schedule and only have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays! I am available on weekends and most weekdays and am happy to work with you to find times that work best for me to come spend time with your pets! I have lots of experience with dogs of every size, behavior, and personality, and I'm eager to learn how to best support your animals in their spaces! Whether we're on a walk, or in your home, I will devote my full energy and attention to making sure your pet's needs are being met to the highest standard!
“She came and checked on my cat several times while I was gone and kept me updated. She was very flexible with the dates and times and ensured proper care of my cat.”
“Taegan did a great job with our house full of animals. She approached her work with care and kindness and did a thorough job of communicating with us! We thought she went above and beyond (as a tiny example, she noticed our full trash can and took it to the curb on trash day).”
About: I am experienced with all sizes of dogs, from a Yorkshire mix to Great Dane. I have pet sat for 4 dogs and a senior cat simultaneously, ensuring each of them were cared for. I’m a college student with classes from 9am-3pm Monday to Thursday. Outside of class my schedule is very flexible and my weekends are open. I have a 5 year old cat named Colby Jack who I adopted 2 years ago. I treat all animals with love, compassion, and respect.
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.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love helping them stay happy, healthy, and safe. I've raised my own dogs for over 15 years—all from puppies—and have provided pet care for family and friends throughout that time. I've spent years learning canine body language, assessing behavior, and working alongside professional dog trainers. I have extensive experience with reactive dogs and understand how to safely and confidently meet their needs during walks and daily care. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, in training, a senior, or has special needs, I'm happy to adapt my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. While I'm not a veterinary professional, I worked in veterinary diagnostics for nearly 10 years, giving me a strong understanding of animal health and behavior. I'm comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, can provide basic first aid if needed, and have experience caring for senior pets and those with medical needs. One of my own dogs struggled with severe anxiety, and through patience, training, and consistency she grew into a calm, happy companion, giving me firsthand experience supporting dogs that need a little extra understanding. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own, following your routines closely so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care for your pets. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting on both weekdays and weekends after 10:00 AM. I'll always communicate clearly about my availability and make every effort to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines or training. During walks, I prioritize your pet's safety by paying close attention to their body language, avoiding situations that may cause stress, and ensuring they're secure at all times. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Because I have a reactive dog at home, I don't offer boarding or doggy daycare. This allows me to give my full attention to your pet while they're comfortable in their own home.
About: I owned over 6 rescue dogs at once, animals are innocent and deserve love, I have worked in clinics before and have seen all shapes and sizes and loved them all I am available at anytime you may need, emergencies happen and I can be there to help! Anytime you need, I’ll be there for you and your fur baby! I always check they have their needs met and if any medical assistance is required I do have clinic experience as well. Keeping animals safe and happy is what I love!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for all kinds of animals, from cats and dogs to horses, cattle, and other small animals. I currently work in a veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable with pets who need a little extra care or have specific medical needs. Whether your pet needs medications given on a schedule, special care instructions followed, or simply some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help! I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I truly enjoy caring for animals both inside and outside of the clinic! I am a full-time college student and work at a veterinary clinic, so my schedule can include some longer workdays. Because of this, I’m not able to provide constant daytime companionship or stay in the home all day. I’m a great fit for pets who are comfortable spending part of the day on their own and don’t require someone to be home continuously. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet’s routine and care needs are well taken care of around my schedule! I’m a full-time student and veterinary professional with a busy but carefully planned schedule. Mon/Wed: classes 9–4:50; Tue/Thu: work 7:30–6:30; Fri: class 9–11, work 12:30–6:30; Sat: work 9–12:30. I’m very dependable and always make sure pets receive the care, attention, and love they deserve. I want to be transparent that I’m not available for all-day care, but when my schedule allows, I’ll check in with pets between classes and during lunch breaks. I carefully plan each booking so I can provide reliable, attentive care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are really important to me! I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. I have experience working with all kinds of animals through my veterinary work, and I’m comfortable paying attention to the little things that can make a big difference. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, walks, routines, and anything else your pet needs. I also want your pet to feel comfortable around me and in their environment. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and let them warm up to me at their own pace. I’ll keep things clean, safe, and calm, and I’ll communicate with you if I notice anything unusual. At the end of the day, I treat every pet like they’re my own and want you to have peace of mind while you’re away!
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
About: I grew up with big and small dogs, fish, and walking stick bugs. For the last few years I’ve owned cats and a gecko too! Needless to say, I have lots of diverse experience and am most comfortable around animals. I’m currently a Master’s student at CSU, so I have lots of time between classes to take care of pets! I can pet sit every evening if it’s alright that I head to campus for parts of the day. I can care for your pets however you see fit! I will do my best to make your pet as comfortable as possible by following their routine.
About: Me in a nutshell: 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. My experience: I’ve spent my entire life with animals and I currently have two pups at home! Professionally, I am a Wildlife Biologist and I have about a decade of experience with domestic animal shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, captive wildlife, and (my favorite) pet-sitting! I am Fear Free Certified which simply means I’m 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! What to expect: I prefer to provide care in the home that the animal is already comfortable with. To do this, I am happy to commute within the Fort Collins region to your pet’s home base. I am very open to working with any special requests you might have: I’m happy to do dog walks, intentional play sessions, I can provide medications, or provide structured training (within a structure you’re already implementing). Before we commit to pet-sitting, I like to do a meet n’ greet with you and your pets to make sure I’m a good fit for their needs and to make sure you’re comfortable with me! 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!

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!
Shae was absolutely amazing. We were in the middle of our vacation on Brazil when we found out our current sitter had to attend to a family emergency and we needed a last minute back up. She helped out with no problems and did everything we needed to cover the last day before we got back. She also took great pictures of our girls. Would hire again.
I have two anxious dogs with very different needs who require extra time, medication, and support, so finding pet care is usually really stressful for me. Alessia has such a calm energy that both of my dogs took to her immediately. After just one meet-and-greet, they were already thrilled to see her for the second visit! I feel so comfortable and relieved having found her profile. She is also so responsive and easy to work through logistics with. Thank you Alessia!
Rebecca did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs! She left detailed updates with lots of photos. She was prompt in her responses and completed a last-minute meet-up to meet the dogs before our trip. We really appreciated her help! The dogs were very content when we arrived home.

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.

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 .
