About: I’ve shared a dog with my mom for the past 9 years and have been around dogs my whole life. I’m calm, patient, and truly love caring for all kinds of pups. Friends and family often rely on me to feed, walk, and stay overnight with their pets. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I am a part time student remotely at UCCS so your pet is my biggest concern! I am extremely flexible and can do drop byes or I can stay overnight whatever fits your needs. I care for each pet based on their individual needs and personality. Whether that means cuddling on the couch, playing fetch, or going for long walks, I want your pet to feel happy, comfortable, and fulfilled. Safety and trust are my top priorities! I always use secure leashes or harnesses on walks, respect your home’s rules, and follow any specific routines you provide.
About: Animals have always been my passion, and I have dedicated both my professional career and my ongoing education to ensuring they live their best lives. Having spent two years working in doggy daycare, I have had the privilege of supporting dogs of all ages and temperaments through their daily routines. I find genuine joy in providing the specific type of attention each dog needs to feel secure and happy, from managing puppy "zoomies" to honoring the slower, comfortable pace of a senior companion. By choosing to work with me, you are welcoming a dedicated, trained, and compassionate advocate into your pet's life who will ensure they feel right at home while you are away. I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, and I am committed to making your pet’s time with me a positive and stress-free experience. I understand that every pet family has a unique rhythm, and my primary goal is to maintain that consistency while you are away. Because pet care is my full-time passion, I offer the flexibility required to adapt to your specific needs—whether your dog thrives on a structured routine of midday walks or requires the comfort of a consistent presence during overnight house-sitting. I pride myself on being highly adaptable to your schedule, ensuring your furry friend receives attentive, professional supervision and companionship that mirrors the care they are used to at home. I am committed to making your time away stress-free by providing reliable, dedicated, and high-quality care whenever you need it. In my home, my dogs are treated like family, just as all dogs deserve. They receive love and attention, and I cherish the quality time we spend together. Whenever I was dog sitting, I made sure the dog felt comfortable with both me and its surroundings. I also ensured that all their needs were met and that they were thriving. If the dog enjoys walks, they will be given one daily.

“Nicole helped keep my new border collie company for a couple drop in visits while I was away long hours at work. She was communicative and responsive and I know Logan loved it! Thanks Nicole!”

“Bridgett took excellent care of our furr babies while we were away for a week. This was the longest we have been separated from them and it a great reassurance to have Bridgett care for them. Bridgett was very communicative and observant and spent lots of quality time with our cat and dog. I highly recommend Bridgett for your loved ones.”

“Cole helped make our first Rover experience a positive one! While traveling it helps keep us at ease knowing our pets are cared for so well. Thanks for the photos and extra long walk.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my extensive experience and deep compassion for animals. Since 2013, I have had the privilege of pet-sitting for dog trainers, friends, and family, which has given me a solid foundation in understanding a variety of breeds and temperaments. I specialize in providing attentive care to both puppies and senior dogs, ensuring they receive the love and attention they need at every stage of life. Additionally, I've taken in strays and nursed them back to health, demonstrating my commitment to the well-being of all animals. When you choose me as your pet sitter, you're choosing someone who loves your pets as much as you do. Currently, I'm taking time away from work as a County Planner, allowing me to dedicate my full attention to caring for your animals 24/7 with enough notice. This means your pets will receive around-the-clock care and companionship, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for at all times. I provide comprehensive care for pets in both my home and my clients' homes, tailored to meet each pet's unique needs. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, administering medication, or just providing companionship, I ensure your pets receive the attention and love they deserve. My services are flexible to accommodate your schedule, so feel free to reach out for time and availability—I'm here to make sure your pets are happy and healthy, no matter where they are.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, my entire life into a adulthood. I’ve taken care of everything from puppies, senior dogs battling cancer, and dog recovering from surgery. I work from home most days except while traveling for work so I have lots of flexibility in watching your pups while you are away! I work from home and have a fenced yard, with lots of toys for playing, a small dog pool for hot days, and two friendly dog to keep your puppies company!
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals, from chickens to lizards. I know all animals deserve the best and that they all should be loved and cared for, as I have two of my own. I know how to take care of animals, whether they are babies or older. I prioritize responsibility, genuine love and care and communication. My busiest days are Monday and Fridays, as I work from 8 am to 6:30 pm. However, I only work part time (max being 5 hours) for the rest of the week. I always will check in on your babies and make sure I take care of their needs before and after my job. I live in an apartment that has an outdoor area and I live within close proximity to amazing parks. I also have toys and other enjoyable things for your babies to enjoy.
About: I’ve had a dog in my family for as long as i’ve known. I’ve had bigger dogs, small dogs, and I love taking care of both. When I’m pet sitting I want to make sure your pet is receiving the most attention and never feels neglected. I love watching dogs and giving them the love they deserve! I’m currently working a part time job at a sandwich shop where I work about 7-8 hours a day. I usually only work mornings which is about a 10am-3pm shift. If I do work a night shift then it is usually 4-9pm. I have a lot of room in the house for pets. We have a very large fenced backyard for your pets to run around and play together in!
“Claire did an outstanding job taking care of Mochi for two days in a row. She was incredibly professional, responsible, and attentive throughout the entire time. She kept me updated regularly, followed all instructions carefully, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Mochi and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Claire with Mochi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”

“Genna took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was out of the country. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was going well while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.”

About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.
About: I’ve always loved being around dogs and cats and caring for them. I am an active person and love going for long walks and helping others in need with their pets! I am currently out here in Colorado for the summer and i’m looking for an activity to fill my time. I am pretty available and flexible with my schedule. I care for my dog at home by making sure water and food are as fresh as possible, picking up dog poop, and having dedicated time for playing and giving my dog attention.

About: Hi! I absolutely adore dogs and have been pet sitting for years for many four legged friends. I’d love to help you take care of yours during the busy work week, etc. I’m currently a college student that is looking to walk dogs in my area and I can do occasional overnights if told dates ahead of time! I have a car and a license, but could also walk if close. I’m able to go to your home to walk, play, feed, take on trips to the dog park, and take care of dogs in whatever way is needed.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
