About: I have lots of experience with large and small dogs including ownership (over 10 years), handling, and dog-sitting for friends, family, and others in my community. I am currently a student at CSU studying wildlife conservation biology and am able to commute to school from any location within the Fort Collins area. I am available on weekday evenings and nights except for Wednesday. Most weekends work for me too, unless I am traveling home. I believe that all pets deserve enrichment and stimulation, hence I try my best to care for your pet within their accommodations in order to adhere to their normal, comforting routines. I have cared for both very energetic and older dogs and am willing to do whatever possible to reduce any stress that could be caused by change in care.
About: I have previously worked at a dog kennel in Idaho before moving to Colorado. I know how to do oral medications for cats and dogs. I studied veterinary science during my senior year of high school and received certifications in animal handling and husbandry. I have an extreme passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and always put their needs first. I am a college student with a relatively open schedule. The schedule listed is not my entire availability and I would love to talk about other openings in my schedule for care. I follow the owners directions very thoroughly and always make sure I do as they ask. I keep the animals company and give them the attention they deserve. I know how to crate a dog if needed and I will always do my best to respect the animals needs and the owners wishes.
About: Hello!!! I’m Niki and I’ve been doing pet care, paid and unpaid for probably my whole life! I’ve always been an animal lover. So before I started my corporate job, I signed up for a different pet sitting app, which turned into traveling the world to care for pets. I have cared for animals in Costa Rica, England, France, Canada and all over the states. And have even been flown back to Canada and England multiple times for repeat pet sitting visits. When I started working corporate, I stopped doing it for a while. But I always miss caring for a sweet animal. Now that I have a remote corporate position, my work allows me deep pockets of time between meetings throughout the day, which gives me more time! I am signing back up to merge my two goals, caring for animals while making a little extra money for help me go to a destination wedding at the end of the year. Since it’s a destination wedding I’m also pretty determined to get in shape, so if you have an active animal that needs a good walk, I am your girl! I’m happy to provide references and additional photos as well. Please reach out if you have any questions at all! Since I work remotely I have a lot of time between meetings and I love to get outside as well. I’m fully off work by 4 pm but I will have multiple hours free during the day as well. I have my own car of course and it’s fully available to bring pets anywhere too! I treat every animal as if it were my own baby. With love and respect, I will ensure they feel safe and cared for but I have zero issues with excitement and fun. I’m pretty active and my parents own a 8 month old Doberman and previously owned Malinois… so I know crazy and how to handle it as well. Whatever direction or instruction I’m given I will follow :)
“We really appreciated working with Julieanne to walk out dog, Bruce. She was outgoing, prompt, dependable, professional, and very focused on our dog's condition and well being. We look forward to the opportunity to work with Julianne again.”
“Haley was fantastic. She walked my dogs twice today and handled everything smoothly. Her updates were clear, the photos were great, and it was obvious she paid real attention to the dogs. I genuinely appreciated how reliable and thoughtful she was. Highly recommend!!”
“Jessica took great care of our dog when we had to be out for day. She is very attentive and detailed in her care. We are so happy to have found her. Will definitely book her again in the future.”
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.
“Amaya made quick friends with my high-energy dog, Willow. She helped alleviate some of my separation anxiety as someone seeking their first dog sitter, and made sure my dog had a chance to get outside to do her business.”
“Wendy is amazing! Our dog Blakely has loved her from day one. She is communicative, friendly, and I can tell she loves dogs based on how excited Blakely gets to see her. She always shows up on time and does awesome report cards.”
About: Ive had pets of all shapes and sizes throughout my life. I have two cats of my own along with a long history of taking care of pets from dogs, fish, rodents, reptiles and everything in between! I am available most of the time which allows me to watch or spend time with your beloved pets whether it’s morning, afternoon or night! I am able to stop in for short half-hour visits to care for your furry(or not so furry) friends! During my visits I will follow care instructions closely, treats your pets as my own, and reach out if I have any questions!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Collins
Jay is amazing! She took great care of my high energy pup. She was very thoughtful and patient with him. She also had great attention to detail with his walking/feeding routine and with his daily medications. My pup was also always excited to see her! We would highly recommend Jay for any of your puppy care needs.
We have been so lucky to have Leta walking our dog for over a year regularly. She is so professional and caring towards our dog. We highly recommend Leta for dog walking either short-term or long-term as she is reliable and communicated well with us and our dog.
Kayla was awesome in her first walk w/ Gene! He still has puppy energy, so I was so grateful for her ability to meet him where he was at & get everything in order for his walk. Her summary & photos show a very happy dog which was exactly what I came home to. She was also highly communicative & offered her own thoughts/questions to make extra sure everything went well. Highly recommend Kayla!
Lauren was fantastic with Guinness and Angus! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves dogs. Both pups came back happy and well exercised after the walk. We could tell she paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog walker!
Casey has been a lifesaver for our family! She is fantastic with our dog Lucy - always reinforcing good manners when she collects her for walks and bringing her back tired and smiling ear to ear. I trust her completely to make good decisions and keep Lucy and our home safe, and am looking forward to having her start regular walks with us again this school year.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Fort Collins. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Fort Collins.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Collins. On Rover:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
