“Lacey took such good care of our senior bull dog while we were away from the holidays! She’s very dependable, communicative, professional and will treat your pup like her own.”
“Nell is someone I would highly recommend to care for your furry companion. She took excellent care of my cat Luka while I was away on vacation. She dropped in twice daily to feed, clean Luka's litter boxes, and interact with him. I appreciated her photos that she sent after each visit. Nell definitely has a special talent in interacting with domesticated animals. I would highly recommend Nell to care for your cat or dog while you're away from home. Thank you Nell.”
“She took great care of my dogs and I really appreciate her coming all the way out to my house in the country to check on them. It helped me a lot! Will definitely use her again when needed!”
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! 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!
“Paulina was amazing! She was very sweet with my boy and made sure to keep me updated while I was gone. She is very knowledgeable and helpful! I highly recommend her! ❤️”
“Hailey was wonderful! My cat Copper adored her. She knew what he needed and when to provide whether if he was in a cuddly mood or in a playful mood. She sent several photos and videos while I was away that put my mind at ease that he was in great hands. Thank you Hailey!! 😻”
About: Hi! I’m Liv, and I’m a caring, responsible, and dependable pet lover who would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members. I grew up on a small farm, so I’ve been around animals from a young age and have always had a strong love and respect for them. I also have hands-on experience caring for dogs, including my own French Bulldog, Bruno. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and making sure each pet receives the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I’m responsible about keeping up with their routines and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I’m also happy to work with each pet’s individual schedule and needs, whether they need lots of activity and playtime or simply some companionship and cuddles. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their home environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine and the instructions provided by their owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication reminders, and bathroom breaks when needed. I also make sure to give them plenty of attention and companionship while respecting their individual personality and boundaries. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I treat their home with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m attentive to details, keep their space clean, and provide regular updates so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.
“I missed a flight in Chicago and was stuck at O’Hare all day before heading back to Denver. Leta was able to care for Luka even while working at her other job. Leta thank you for caring for Luka at the last minute.”
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!
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.
“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!”
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!
“Ashley came over to let our dogs out, play and feed them while we had a long day in the mountains. She was communicative and spent the hour with the pups. Looking forward to booking Ashley again!”
“Sarah was happy to check in on our dog Lilo on very short notice! She was quick to respond and was great checking in on our pup and giving her some love. We will book with her again!”
“Stacy is wonderful. Our kitties love her and so do we! She is prompt and communicative and takes lots of photos and details every visit. We feel very much at ease knowing that she is taking care of our two cats while we are away. Thank you Stacy!”
About: I have experience watching dogs, cats, and reptiles. I have cared for very young kittens and dogs in the end of there lives, as well as sick reptiles. I work from 7-3:30 weekdays, and am looking to work with pets on weekends and after work. My weekends are very free and I am flexible. I have reliable transportation with my car, and my home has a fenced in yard. I am comfortable driving to clients homes or hosting pets in my home.
“Lindsay was amazing! We had her drop in on our three cats over our wedding weekend, and she handled our chaotic scheduling and miscommunication better than we could have ever asked for. She was fantastic with updates and keeping us posted on how things were going. Thank you so much, Lindsay!”

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!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Collins is $20 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 2,544 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 .
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 , 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
- 96% 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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
