About: Hello! My name is Jacob and I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds for my whole life, and have always loved their company. I will strive to provide the best possible care for your pets and treat them as if they were my own. I’m here for their needs, whether it’s to wear out a young active pup or take a casual stroll around the block letting your senior dog stop as they need to. I’ve always had a lot of flexibility in my schedule and have enjoyed pet sitting as a side job for many years. I’m currently working part time in the early mornings so I have tons of time during the day to help care for your pets. If you need me to stay with your pets I’m usually only gone for a 3.5 hour shift so they won’t be left alone for very long! I will have your pets safety and comfort always in mind and make sure they have what they need to stay happy until you return.
“One of the best dog sitters we've had the pleasure of working with! Melanie was on the ball: never a food time missed or a walk uncounted. She sent us great pictures of the dogs and was punctual, communicated beautifully and made us feel like our dogs were in great hands. We appreciate her professionalism every step of the way. We would not hesitate to ask her again to watch our dogs, and feel honored she gave us her time and expertise. Thank you so much, Melanie!!”
“Mary always shows up right on time. Gus loves her and she is really good about sending pictures and filling out the walk card for every walk she takes him on. We have had problems with getting her access to our apartment and she has been very patient and understanding with it. I would be lost without her help every week!”
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.
“Dawna is wonderful and you should feel complete comfort in leaving you 4 legged fur babies with her. She goes out of her way to make sure the pup has fun while in her care and has lots of love to give. I would recommend her without question!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a calm and caring approach to dog care. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, as to why I provide everything from playtime to quiet companionship. I’m attentive, dependable, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care is a meaningful part of my full-time, year-round career. I build my schedule around providing dependable, consistent care and have the flexibility to give pets the attention, companionship, and routine they need. Just as I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment for my own pets to feel comfortable and secure, I do the same in a client's home as well. During my time in a client’s home, I respect their space, follow their routines and instructions carefully, and make sure their pets receive attentive and dependable care.
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’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have
“Lori B is awesome! Our crew loved her and became more obedient as well, drats. We recommend her without reservation and for us that is unusual. A testament to her skills and our dogs’ judgment of the right person for them.”
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 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: As an animal lover, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. I'm quiet and gentle with every pet I meet, and have an eye for detail and commitment to routine. I currently teach part-time at CMU on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-6, and am available most mornings and evenings outside of that for any pet needs. I'm usually up around 6:30am for a walk, so early morning routines and dog walking are welcome. My 2 cats are spoiled but healthy and well behaved. They've got several bowls of water, and are fed 3 times a day, and have plenty of space to lounge, perch, and play - including a cat wheel for zoomies. I've got a crested gecko and 3 frogs as well, in bioactive terrariums with automated lights and misting systems for reliable humidity. In terms of treatment, I'm very gentle and want the best for every pet - a calm demeanor helps when trimming nails or giving meds, and playing with toys instead of hands builds safe habits. While I might be new to you and your pet's life, I'm great about maintaining routine and comfort so that I cause as minimal stress as possible.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and will always treat your pet like family. I’m currently a part-time medical assistant, so I have plenty of extra time outside of school and work to give pets the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I’m flexible, dependable, and able to accommodate different schedules and needs. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or giving extra attention and affection, I treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to keeping pets happy and safe at all times.
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!

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 Fruita. 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 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.
