“Kristi has been so amazing for us and our dog! She is very responsive and is an ongoing dog walker for us twice a week! I would highly recommend her for service and care of your pet!”
“Abigail was great! She was responsive, flexible, and very accommodating. She took my dog for a walk on a weekly basis and took care of my cats a few weekends when I was away. She was wonderful and I would highly recommend!”
“Absolutely a delight to work with Emma, my puppy looked super happy and was calm when I got home. Emma was great at communicating! I felt really comfortable working with Emma and definitely will book again!”
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.
“Very fast response and flexibility, she sent pictures during her walk and my dog was very happy when I got home, she was the first person to walk my puppy after me and I'm definitely booking again!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life and I cannot imagine living without them. I LOVE to take my high-energy dog on a variety of activities such as, walks, hikes, runs, and playing fetch with him! And I would love to lend a hand and help a fellow pet parents out by caring for your loved ones when you are away🫶🏼🐶 I am a graduate student with evening flexibility throughout the week and weekends and full day availability on Mondays and Fridays. Let’s plan something together! I am a very trustworthy person who would be very considerate when entering someone else’s space. That same goes with caring for your furry friend.
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’m a pre-vet student at Colorado State University, and I have worked with and had pets for my whole life. I volunteer regularly at Animal Friends Alliance and The Milo Foundation, taking care of cats and dogs of all sizes and ages, from puppies to seniors. I also volunteer around the clinic at Marin Humane Society, prepping and taking care of recovering animals after procedures. I have pet sit for friends and family for the past 6 years, walking, feeding, and playing with their animals. Around my house I am the dedicated person to administer any medications and teach new tricks! I am a very flexible person! I am a full time student at the moment, with classes in the mornings and early afternoons on all weekdays during the semester. But I am dedicated to animal care and love to spend time with pets. I also volunteer regularly throughout the week, but those shifts are moveable. As a pre-vet student I take animal safety seriously, always being gentle and making sure to notice any signs of fatigue or weakness. I make sure to stay in the proper areas while petting unless the animal is comfortable with me going further. I clean all messes that the pets make, whether it’s fecal matter, vomit, or anything else. On walks, I am careful around other dogs even if the pet I’m walking is kind, you never know the reactivity of other dogs on the street. I’m always sure to make the pets feel cared for, happy, and loved!
“Wrangler LOVES Lisa! Lisa take such good care of wrangler while out on the walk and in the home. We are grateful to have someone watch over our sweet boy. Thanks so much!:))”
“Tatum is communicative, professional, and reliable. I’m a firefighter and don’t have to worry about checking my phone to see if she’s going to show up when she agreed to. If something is wrong with my dog, I’ll hear about it right away. Grateful to have someone I can count on!”
“My dog always loves when Nell comes over! Her communication is amazing and I feel at ease when I have to work longer shifts because I know Tahoe is being well taken care of. Thank you!”
About: I got my first puppers when I was 9 years old and when I turned 10 I was able to help out at the local shelters. It has never made me feel more in love with dogs and want to help them. I love walking, talking, and just having dogs in my presence. Dogs are one of a kind and each one is unique and I love it. They’re cuddly, cute, and fantastic. I can guarantee that your dog will have my 100% attention while with me. I have trained dogs in the past, the simple things. Sit, lay, roll over, hug (my favorite) and fetch. I absolutely adore animals and can not wait to get to meet to play, feed, and love on your pet the best I can while you’re gone at work or even for a little getaway!
About: I am very passionate about animals. So much so that I’m even studying to be a zoologist! I’ve had pets since I was 9 and have petsit since I was 11. I’ve owned a dog, cats, lizards, amphibians, and fish! I’m happy to petsit for any animal. I’m currently on summer break so I am basically free whenever you need me! Although, once I start school in mid August, I will only be available on weekends or nights. My goal is to have a safe, happy, healthy, tired, and full pet by the end of our playtime! When I’m petsitting my attention is 100% focused on your pet. I like to send photo updates too!🐱🐶🦎
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.

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.
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.

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 .
walkers 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 walker.
