About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and trained vet tech with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and both saltwater and freshwater fish. As a mother of three and the proud owner of 5 cats and 2 dogs, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I bring patience, reliability, and a calm, compassionate approach to every visit. I specialize in drop-ins and overnight care in your home, helping pets stay comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m also available for holiday pet care, so families can travel with peace of mind knowing their pets are being loved and cared for like my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I’m available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays, which lets me give pets consistent attention and companionship. Whether it’s a walk to start the day or a cozy check‑in at night, I make pet care a natural part of my routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own home. I follow their normal schedule, meals, walks, medication, playtime, and quiet time, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. I’m attentive to safety, always checking doors, gates, and surroundings, and I keep their space clean and calm. When I stay overnight, I make sure they have steady companionship and a peaceful environment. I also send regular updates and photos so owners always feel connected and confident while they’re away.

About: I have always believed that a house isn’t a home without the unconditional love of a dog. Throughout my life, my happiest moments have been defined by furry family members greeting me at the door with wet noses, endless kisses, and wagging tails. Yet, like any devoted pet parent, I know the familiar pang of guilt and anxiety that comes with walking out the door—whether it’s just for a quick daily errand, a long day at work, or a much-needed vacation. Our pets thrive on routine, familiarity, and love. Leaving them behind is often the hardest part of being a pet owner. Now that I am retired, I have dedicated my time and passion to help other dog lovers minimize or even solve this dilemma. Imagine a life where traveling or working doesn't mean leaving your pet only to face an empty house or even worse, confined to a kennel. Instead, you can step away with complete peace of mind, knowing your fur babies are in the hands of someone who will care for them like family and support the routines they are used to and comfortable with. I would love the opportunity to do this for you and your sweet friend(s). Please take a look at the services I offer, and contact me today so we can keep your pets happy, safe, and loved while you are away. I cannot imagine a more rewarding way to spend my retirement than caring for your beloved pups and kitties. To ensure the best possible care, I always request an initial meet-and-greet with you and your pet(s), ideally in their own comfortable environment. Once we establish that we are a great fit, we can begin scheduling regular visits. Over time, as your pet becomes completely comfortable with me, my home will also be open to them for overnight stays and day care should the need arise. I look forward to learning your specific routines to keep your pets safe and sound. Their time with me will be fully tailored to whatever your fur baby loves most—whether that means playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, enjoying mealtime, or taking trips to the park. Regardless of whether I am walking your dog or dropping in to check on your kitty, safety is always my top priority.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens (collecting eggs as well), donkeys, goats, horses, and llamas of all ages. I have been around dogs of all sizes with some of my own. On weekdays and weekends, I will be available the full day. I would love to help walk, play with, and care for your babies while you’re away for the day. I have a fenced in yard, can easily crate the baby if needed, have two loving dogs to keep your baby company, plenty of toys, and cuddles to go around!
About: Hi there! I’m a college freshman studying nursing, and while I can’t host pets in my dorm, I’d love to put my passion for caregiving and lifelong love for animals into looking after your pup. As a nursing major, I bring responsibility, patience, and strong attention to detail to every visit. Caring for others is what I’m best at — whether that’s people or pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, including an energetic Australian Shepherd mix and a sweet Wheaten Terrier–Poodle mix. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all energy levels, sizes, personalities, and quirks. Shy dogs, high‑energy pups, seniors, and everything in between — I meet them where they’re at. What I Offer 30‑Minute Dog Walks: A refreshing walk around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup exercise, stimulation, and a happy break in their day. 30‑Minute Drop‑Ins: Perfect for potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pup will always receive safe, attentive, and loving care, and you’ll get reliable communication and updates every step of the way. I’d be honored to care for your dog and help make your life a little easier. As a full‑time college student, I prioritize my classes and coursework, but I have plenty of availability in between classes and during afternoons. I’m typically free on weekdays after 11 am, with additional openings throughout the day depending on my class schedule. I’m also available on some weekends for walks or drop‑ins. My routine is flexible, and I make sure pet care fits smoothly around my school commitments, so your pup always receives dependable attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. I follow your instructions closely, keep environments clean, ensure fresh water, and maintain secure entryways. I approach every visit with the same responsibility and attention to detail I bring to my nursing studies, giving your pet calm, dependable care.
About: I’ve always had a pet of my own until early 2026 when my senior dog had passed, however I do have a history of working at a veterinary hospital. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to details. My goal is not only to care for pets while their owners are away, but to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and treated like family. I’m currently working part-time and looking for the opportunity to still stay active and enjoy my free time. I have a very open schedule and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions and making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are away. The safety and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I believe trust is built through reliability, communication, and treating each pet with patience and respect. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, and keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: For 8 years in Colorado, 3 years in Washington, 2 years in Oklahoma and 1 in Hawaii; I enjoyed forming relationships with an extensive list of clients and their pets. I am searching to create another loyal list for the West Slope. I offer house sitting, day care, drop-in visits and walks. Rates are negotiable based on your situation. All energy levels are welcomed! I am trained in K-9 CPR and skilled in reading behavior. What's important to me is that your family and home are loved while you are away. A strong, clean referral history is available to any prospective client. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule at United Airlines to better serve your needs. I am employed full-time with United Airlines, but I am easily able to drop my workdays to stay with your pet and cater to them. We have a fully fenced backyard great for fetch or sunbathing. At your house I am happy to keep the yard clear of messes and have the most respect for your home cleaning up after myself as well.
About: I have had pets of all sorts my entire life. My earliest memories are of helping my parents care for and train each litter of our Siberian husky puppies before they go to they're forever homes. I am currently a stay at home mom to my 3yr old son and 1yr old daughter. We just bought a 1200sqft house in OM with a privacy fenced yard and doggy door. You're pet will have the freedom to go in and out as they please . If I go anywhere between 8 am- 5pm Mon-Fri I have to take my kids with otherwise I'm free. You can also find pictures and videos on my Facebook page Victoria's Bark-tastic Doggy Daycare! I have a roughly 12 year old miniature schnauzer that wasn't the most sociable guy when I met him about 7 years ago. Since then I have been taking him out to new places and to meet other dogs. He has two Great Dane friends he plays with well. Mostly him bouncing off of them and having them chase him. He also likes to lay flat in the grass and wait for them to get close then pounce at them to get them to chase him. He couldn't care less about toys but loves a good quality treat. I can bring him along upon request! My kids absolutely love dogs and are always gentle and respectful. My son loves to throw toys for them and give them treats. He even makes our dog sit before giving him a treat. He also gets to play with the Danes! He loves going around and finding a good stick to give them to chew on. My daughter absolutely loves to give nice pets ( with supervision) and loves to watch them play. I have to bring them with me before 4pm. So if you're looking to provide your dog with some new social situations I'm your gal! I do have to ask that you request care atleast a few days before drop off that way we can do a meet and greet to make sure there will be no issues during your pets stay. I also live down a shared driveway please park somewhere on the street and i will meet you down there. I am up every day between 6-7 am to start the days chores before the sun gets to high. We've got a lawn, two flower beds and a veggies garden to care for. Afterwards I get the kiddos ready for school. Once they've been dropped off my senior dog and I go on our morning nieborhood walk through the park and back. We would love for your pup to join us! As a SAHM i have free time all the way up until 3:30 for school pick up. Each pup is an individual with thier own quirks. Therefore care is modified per each pets needs. For example I would take a 3 year old hound on a much longer sniffy walk than I would a 10 year old lab. Being in Colorado i also account for weather and can modify the days activities if outside is not an option.
About: I have been doing pet care since I was a teenager. Started off just for family, then friends, into a business. The clients who meet me are always comfortable with how open I am regarding the care needed. As someone who has pets herself, I know how important it is to have a trust worthy person caring for them. I treat your home and pets with the respect that’s deserved. We have so much fun that you’re home before your pets know it! I recently left my full time job to go back to college. Pet care has always been something I did on the side but now I’m looking to do this full time. I’d much rather feed horses and walk dogs than clock into a job on the computer. I genuinely enjoy spending my time with animals. I will only offer services at the clients home. I feel that pets are more comfortable when they can stay in the place they know. I’d rather stick to their routine than disrupt it at home with my own. I always ask clients for the routine, what treats they can have, if training is needed to be worked on, walks, etc. Otherwise, we are playing with toys and hanging out the entire time.

About: I grew up with several dogs growing up. Now I have my own best friend who’s a lab mix. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them! They make me happy! It would be a privilege to care for your dog or cat while you’re away from home. I’m currently self employed and work part time. This gives me flexibility in caring for your pet. When I care for your pet my life will revolve around their needs and schedule. I want you to rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for when you’re away. I will follow your rules and guidelines for your pet. Each home and pet needs vary. I’m here to give trusted love and support for your pet while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of pups and pets my whole life. I have always had more than one pet in the house at all times. I have taken care of neighbors, friends, loved ones pets. From lizards to chinchillas and all the dogs in between! I can walk, hike, bathe, feed, and cuddle pets whenever needed. I am pretty active and like to get out with the dogs everyday, whether that's for a hike or walk around the block, they need leg stretchers just like I do! It is second nature to take care of a pet. Their needs are always satisfied before mine. Happy pet, happy life! I am a working professional hoping to keep up my mental health while helping the local community members with their busy lives as well! I am available to take your pup on the weekends and likely take them on my adventure to the mountains too and during the work week, I can take them on walks after work or make sure they get some loving for overnight stays. I have a fenced yard. I am always sure to check for anything pets can get into. I am always hyper aware of pets to make sure they don't themselves in trouble.
About: I’m happy to stop in multiple times a day, go for walks. I’m familiar with local dog parks and trails, and have reliable transportation. Shoot me a message to plan care for your dog while you’re going out of town, or in town visiting the mountains! I have a very flexible schedule, making it easy for me to stop in multiple times a day, or go for long walks with your dog. At my home, I have a fenced balcony on a ground floor and a specific place to walk dogs. I like to go on local trails for longer walks. In clients homes, I like to stick to the routine and methods explained to keep a predictable schedule for the dog.
About: I’ve had dogs around me my entire life. As a child, my parents inevitably turned into the caregivers. As I entered adulthood, I saw just how monumental of a responsibility dogs are and what they require to feel happy, safe, secure and fulfilled. I truly believe dogs can suffer from sadness and anxiety if not properly cared for. My chocolate lab and English bulldog are my life and they both have such different needs. Dealing with a Brachycephalic dog has given me unique experience. Their sensitivities to environmental/food allergens, temperature extremes, other breeds, exercise limitations, etc. I’d like to think of our home as a safe haven for your dogs while you take that family vacation or go out of town for the weekend. My husband and I have foregone countless trips due to my inability to leave my fur babies behind. I offer my services so that you are able to be absent with peace of mind! I am currently a full time stay at home dog mom. After 16 years in the newspaper production business and most recently the mortgage industry, I decided to take a breather and do something I love that I know could directly impact others in a positive way. My husband and I have a rural property with 10 acres. Our home has an open floor plan with easy access to front and backyard playtime. Your pup will never feel isolated or lonely. We are set back 1 mile from the main road, allowing for freedom to roam and explore in peace!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Fruita is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $28 per walk.

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 Fruita. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Fruita after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fruita. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 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.
