About: I am a stay at home mom with the time to care for your pup as well as mine. Our kids and dog love to play with other dogs. We often take walks in the neighborhood and play fetch in the backyard. I'd be happy to have your dog join us! There is a good amount of lounging on the couch as well! My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate your pups needs. My kids are in middle and high school so we work around the school district schedule. I have a fenced yard in a great neighborhood. My pup will keep your pup entertained. I can crate your dog if needed during the day or at night.
About: https://www.rover.com/sit/ktl57871 When it comes to trusting someone with your furry family members, I know how important it is to find someone who not only loves animals, but truly understands them. That’s where I come in. What sets me apart from other animal sitters isn’t just my passion—it’s my experience and hands-on care. As a professional dog breeder, I’ve worked with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From the wobbly first steps of puppies to the slow, gentle pace of senior dogs, I understand their unique needs at every life stage. I’m also experienced with administering medications, including pills, topical treatments, and special dietary routines—so if your pet has medical needs, you can rest easy knowing they’re in capable hands. I care for both dogs and cats, and I take the time to build trust with each animal, treating them as I would my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, your cat needs space and patience, or your senior pup just needs a little extra TLC, I tailor my care to fit their personalities and health needs. If you’re looking for a sitter who’s not only responsible and reliable, but who truly understands animals from the inside out—I’d love to be your go-to. Let’s make your time away stress-free, for both you and your pet. Morning (7–10 AM) • Feed breakfast and refresh water • Morning walk or potty break • Playtime or enrichment activities Afternoon (3–6 PM) • Exercise (longer walks, backyard play, or park time if allowed) • Feeding schedule for pets that eat twice a day • Refresh water, check litter boxes, or tidy up Evening (7–10 PM) • Wind-down activities like gentle play, brushing, or cuddles • Final potty break or short walk • Prepare comfortable sleeping area and ensure pets feel safe and settled Weekly Routine • Consistent feeding, walks, and play every day • Adjust schedule as needed for each pet’s unique needs (puppies, seniors, or pets on medication) • Extra enrichment on weekends, like longer outdoor play sessions or new activities Provide a safe, pet-proofed environment with plenty of space for play and rest. Follow the pet’s usual feeding schedule, diet, and portion sizes. Offer daily exercise (walks, playtime, yard time) tailored to the pet’s age, breed, and energy level. Keep fresh water available at all times. Provide comfortable sleeping areas (crate, bed, or designated quiet spot). Supervise interactions with other pets (if applicable) to ensure safety and positive socialization. Give regular potty breaks and maintain clean, sanitary conditions. Offer affection, enrichment activities, and companionship to reduce stress and make them feel at home.
“Ashley was amazing and very accommodating. She woke up very early for drop off which I appreciated. Her dogs were very friendly and welcoming with my pup. Highly recommend”

“We were so happy to have Clover stay with Daniel last minute. He did a great job communicating and had an organized process for letting the dogs meet and get used to each other. I can tell she's had fun. We'll definitely call him next time we're in town.”
“Ashley took a great care of Bolt while I was attending a concert in Grand Junction! He got along with the kids and their dog Molly pretty well, and they played a lot in the yard. Ashley made sure they're fed separately as I requested, and provided regular updates with photos. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again.”
About: I’ve had pets all my life including dogs and cats, I love animals, and I enjoy spending time with them. I grew up in a farm, and I’ve watched many family friends pets I’m currently working part time, but I’m able to maneuver my schedule very easily. I typically work Monday and Tuesday from 12 to 9 I have lots of room for pets to roam both inside and outside, lots of toys to play with and get all that energy out
“Marci was very accommodating to my schedule and very communicative. She also didn't allow the size of my dog to intimidate her. Her dogs were very friendly I recommend her for any dog!”
“Our first time using Rover….. and we loved Catherine! She was great with communication leading up to the visit and was prompt with picking up and delivering our Olive. She’s had some other small dogs that Olive played with throughout the day, and she was delivered back happy and exhausted. We are tent camping and she took her self to bed way before the night was over! We will definitely be using Catherine again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Phebe was awesome! Very communicative and professional. She spoke our dog, Sage’s, love language- treats😊 and sent a bunch of photos which we love! She also helped Sage relax with lavender oil on her nose as she is an anxious dog. Such a sweet thing to do! Appreciate the love and care, thank you!”
“So far we've had 1 Daycare visit before we do 4 nights, and it went great! I was very impressed with the communication I received. My dog was so tired when she got home, so I know she had lots of fun! Looking forward to bringing her back!”
“Eleshia was everything we could hope for and more! She took great care of our small dog, was flexible on timing, and offered up stellar recommendations for what to do in the area. 10 stars if I could give them!”
“Moose was taken care of for a long day at work and it took all the stress away from me. Taylor took care of the details and I really appreciate that. Will call on her again.”
“Julia was able to help me with a last minute request for daycare while I was at work. She was so good to my Finley and very professional and accommodating. I would absolutely use Julia again for dog sitting.”
About: I have 8 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds and temperaments. I became a dog groomer at 16, and since then I’ve worked in both boarding and dog & cat daycare facilities. I’ve cared for large and small dogs, seniors, puppies, and even disabled pets who require extra patience and specialized attention. Caring for animals has always been my passion, and I’m committed to providing safe, loving, and reliable care for every pet I meet. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I own my own business, Harmonizing Beauty, which gives me a flexible and adjustable work routine. This allows me to easily make accommodations for walks, drop-ins, feedings, and boarding, and to work around each owner’s schedule. I’m able to provide reliable, consistent care without rushing, so every pet receives the time, attention, and love they deserve. Because I own my own business, Harmonizing Beauty, my schedule is flexible, making it easy for me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, feedings, boarding, and custom schedules for each pet parent. My home is safe, comfortable, and dog-friendly, with a large fenced-in yard perfect for running, playing, and exploring. I also have friendly, well-socialized, fully vaccinated dogs who love meeting new fur friends and are great companions as long as everyone is compatible. I also offer in-home visits, giving your dog one-on-one attention, playtime, walking, exercise, and whatever they need to feel calm, cared for, and happy in their own environment. Overall, I provide a loving, reliable, and enriched experience—whether your pet is staying with me or I’m coming to you.

“Suzanne and Dan are wonderful people. I had no hesitation in leaving Bella with them. They immediately made Bella and I feel comfortable in their home during our meet and greet and then when we returned for Bella's first stay. Bella was so relaxed and cuddly when I picked her up at the end of the day. I know she had been relaxed during her stay and well cared for. It's such a blessing to find someone I feel confident will take good care of my baby. I'm very grateful to have found Suzanne and Dan!”
“Paulette and Charlie were wonderful hosts and were very attentive. They have plenty of room for dogs to run in their very large backyard. Our Bode and their dog Molly hit it off instantly and played well together. Bode had a great time. We’re already planning our next trip(s) to the western slope. We’ll definitely be booking with Paulette and Charlie again!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Fruita commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 53 sitters in Fruita, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
