“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.”
“Sidney was excellent! She was very communicative and so sweet with my dogs. She even went above and beyond trying to make my anxious dog feel comfortable with her. I highly recommend!”
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.
“Wendy has been walking Virginia almost every week day for 4 weeks. She has always come on time and Virginia is always so excited for her walks. Wendy always includes a picture from her walk and let's me know if Virginia is acting different from normal which has helped me determine if she needs to see the vet. I would highly recommend Wendy to take care of your fur baby”
“Hailey has been an amazing dog walker for our pit mix who can be a bit of a puller at times. Always on time for his walks and is flexible with start-times and duration of walks.”
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: 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!
About: I would love to give your dog a fun and comfortable experience while you are away from home! In terms of my pet care experience, I have done drop in visits and house sitting for a few dogs on Rover so far. Before that (when I lived with my parents) I was fully responsible for taking care of my 2 dogs. I absolutely love dogs but I am not able to commit to having a dog of my own at the moment. I just graduated from CSU and have very open availability. I don’t have a lot of daily responsibilities at the moment so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I spend a lot of time going over information pet parent’s give me to be sure I am taking care of their pet correctly. I also pay close attention to the pet’s mood and behavior and adapt to their needs because all pets are different. I know it can be stressful for a pet when their family is away so I try to create a comfortable environment and keep them busy with fun activities.
“Tara is absolutely lovely! My pups really seemed to love her and she handled our slightly complicated situation with grace and professionalism. Would highly recommend and we'll definitely book with her again!”
About: I have owned three dogs, three guinea pigs, and a rabbit in my life which have helped me discover my passion for animal care and wellbeing. I am a recent graduate of CSU’s Animal Science program and am applying to vet tech school! Through my volunteering at rabbit and dog shelters as well as fostering dogs, I have experience grooming, feeding, walking, training, and cleaning up after dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. I would love to extend my passion for animal care to your pets! I have a very open schedule this summer to accommodate varying needs for your pet. I am available for the majority of weekdays and weekends! I am very cautious of each individual animal's temperament and needs whether that be medical assistance, puppy energy, timid pets, or easily-excited dogs and cats. I have experience with all different kinds of personalities and attention needs with my personal pets so it is very important to me to understand an animal's personality and needs in order to provide the correct care.
“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.”
“Victoria is amazing with our dog. We have been having her walk our dog for over a month and she’s adapted to everything our dog or our family changes. She’s great with scheduling and respectful of our pups time too :) we couldn’t be more pleased with Victoria. We will be repeat customers for as long as she’s available.”

I couldn’t recommend Kristin more! They are incredibly reliable, kind, attentive, and genuinely care about my dog. I’m so grateful to have someone who treats him like their own and gives him so much love and attention. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands when I’m not home. I truly appreciate how trustworthy and communicative they are and feel so lucky to have found someone I can completely trust with my pup!
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.
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.

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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
