“Haley did a phenomenal job watching my two pups! She sent plenty of updates, very detailed report card, was responsive and I loved all the photos she took! I’d definitely rebook with her”
“This was our first time working with Deirdre for our two cats, and I was very happy with how everything turned out. Deirdre was very good with communication, came over for a meet & greet, and seemed very responsible with all the instructions. She gave our kitties time to adjust to her presence, and they seemed to have a good time with her during the visits! She also took a lot of cute photos.”
“Alessia was very responsive and communicative throughout our interactions. I came home to a happy healthy kitty and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her in the future!”

“Erinn went above and beyond for our Goose! She was present, sent lots of pictures, gave a detailed report, and even went to check on Goose an extra time while we were out of town. We would absolutely trust her to come back again. 10/10!”
“Jessica was PHENOMENAL! My 2 just needed a drop in and when we got back they were happy as clams!! I will DEFINITELY be calling again! Thank you so much for helping us out!”
“Chloe went above and beyond to make sure our cats were taken care of while we were gone. She is extremely professional and gave us much needed peace of mind that the cats were safe and happy. She provides detailed summaries of her visits and it’s clear she is very experienced with animal care! I 100% recommend you book her services.”
“Sophia took great care of our pets and we really appreciate her! She was also super flexible and was available on short notice so will absolutely be messaging her again for our pets in the future! Thanks Sophia! :)”
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of all types of dogs and cats, from big as a Mastiff to small as a Sphynx cat. I enjoy all animals, but I am a cat person! While I am a full time student with a part time job, I enjoy animals so much I would love to meet the animals near me! You can call me Riley! But, I will make sure the animal is comfortable, never overstep as I can understand body language (though treats might be the way), along with lots of love!
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: I’ve been around all kinds of animals my whole life. I even started pet sitting when I was little for my neighbors and friends. I’ve been around all sorts of animals. I also grew up with a cat and a dog and did everything I could to properly love and care for them. I am currently a student at CSU, with a very flexible schedule. I start all my classes at 10am. My Monday/Wednesday/Friday Classes end at noon; Tuesday I get out at 1640, and Thursday I get out at 1540. However on my longer days I have a break in between classes at noon. Outside of that I am free to take care of your pets! I prioritize building a good relationship with your animals by respecting their space/environment. I am a guest in their home and I think it’s important to respect that first. Then I approach them with the same respect and intentions I do with my own cat; to love and care for them.
About: I have lived with dogs my whole life. I absolutely adore spending time with dogs, and I also love going on walks to get my steps in. I know personally how much it means to leave your dog with someone who cares, and I aim to help them feel at home while you're away. I'm currently a full-time student, but I only have classes on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. MW, I am on campus from 9:00 am to 3:30 pm; on F, I am on campus from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. I like taking the time to learn your pet's routine, preferences, and any specific care instructions so I can keep things familiar while you're away. I want them to feel safe, whether it means playtime or a nap. I will respect your home and keep you updated with photos and messages so you know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve had the privilege of growing up with dogs, embracing the joys and challenges of nurturing and loving them. 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. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I ensure that your pet receives personalized attention and a high standard of care. If you're unable to be there, I offer reliable support to ensure your pet remains comfortable and happy. My approach is designed to create a nurturing and enriching environment for your pet, whether they’re at home or in my care!!!
About: We have both cared for animals growing up and pet sat for our friends and family many times over the years. Animals have stayed in our home and we have cared for pets in their home. I currently work full time with work from home days each week. My schedule varies but I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends for pet care. We do not currently have any pets and live in an apartment with an enclosed patio. We have cared for pets in our home and at the owners home. I am flexible to accomodate the needs of the owner/pet.
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!
“Stacey took time to come over and meet my kitties and see where everything was situated. After a couple of visits my one scaredy cat that hardly lets anyone pet her LOVED her. I can tell she really cares about the animals she sits for and will definitely book her again. Thanks Stacey!”
“Bailey was great! Very flexible with hours and the short notice on our drop-ins request. Kept us updated on the dogs and they seemed very happy to have her around!”

Ryan was extremely responsible and helpful in taking care taking care of Astor and buddy when I was facing a very difficult medical catastrophe. He faithfully kept him fed and threw the ball for buddy and basically kept the show running well. I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing dropping care.
Olivia did an excellent job with my two Labrador Retrievers and 2 house cats. She was a very good daily communicator for drop-in visits and house-sitting. Everything went smoothly during the 3 weeks I was out of the country . I will contact her about availability next time I travel! Thanks a BIG bunch --- P and A approved too! :-)!
Haley was the best! I am super anxious leaving my Sunny girl and having her come by made my trip so much easier on me. She was very prompt with coming by and submitted Sunny’s card with photos and what she did that day and I came back home feeling at ease. I don’t plan on going on any trips soon but I will book Haley when I do next. Thank you so much again for looking after my Sunny girl!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Collins is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $32 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 November 2026, there are 2,505 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Collins. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
sitters 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 sitter.
