“This was my first time using Rover due to some changing circumstances with my pet sitting situation. Lainya could not have been a better sitter for me. She was so easy to work with, especially when I wanted my dogs to get used to a new person coming into the house. I was out of the country and she kept me updated on how things were going and at no time during my vacation was I worried about what was going on back home. I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“We very much appreciated Robin’s attentive care for our cat and dog. She was reliable and responsive and followed all instructions. We are looking forward to utilizing her services in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals because they make me happy! What else makes me happy is helping other people out to take care of there fur babies :) I have experience of watching dogs and cats. I am very active and love spending time with animals I work full time! From 7:30 am to 5pm I am free in the evenings and weekends! On Mondays I work half days. I get done at 12pm It is me and my corgi and my apartment. I do have a patio it is unfenced. My corgi is a runner. I take him on walks, dog park or my parents back yard
“Annabelle provided wonderful care as usual. She spent a ton of time with our cat, Ekko, while we were gone and tried to keep her as happy as possible even though Ekko wasn’t feeling great.”
“Eleshia was great! She stayed three nights with our cat and dog who do not get along with one another. She spent time with each pet and made sure they were comforted and well cared for. She left our home just as clean as it was when we left. We will definitely use her again.”
“Karen was great and came and stayed at my house with my two miniature dachshunds who are very emotionally needy! She spent some good quality time with them and I really appreciated that. Took care of things in the house so that I didn’t have to worry about anything. Would definitely use her again!”
“Misty was so caring and patient with our kids... especially one in particular who was all in her feelings over a scary ceiling fan and the general disruption of the parents being away. We know it was a lot to accomodate such a nervous pup but she did it with such grace it really put our minds at ease to know she was with them. We came back to a very clean house and well cared for pets. We would not hesitate to reach out to her again to take care of our crew and neither should you!”
“Michael was super communicative and took amazing care of my 65lb dog while I was away over a holiday weekend. Cooper can be reactive and worry when he is in the care of others, but Michael managed his anxiety like a dream! Would definitely use Michael again!”
“She was accommodating and took good care of our pups. She watched our 2 dogs for the weekend and had great communication, and sent update pictures so we knew how things were going. She even cleaned the house, leaving it cleaner than it was when we left.”
“Angela was wonderful with our pets. She kept us updated on her schedule while we were out of town and sent us pictures and updates through out the time she was house sitting and taking care of our pets. We will definitely rebook with Angela next time we need a pet sitter.”
“Corisa was great with my dog, LaLa. She was always on time and sent lots of pictures that put me at ease leaving her for a couple of days. I would absolutely rebook with Corisa.”
“Robbie was fantastic!! He was very communicative and arrived on time. We have three dogs with very different temperaments and personalities that can be a handful but he managed them with no issues. He also left our home and yard clean and tidy, which is really nice and above and beyond expectations. We will definitely be using him for future stays!”
About: I've been taking care of pets for most of my life. I worked at a doggie daycare & boarding business for a couple of years. I'm now going out on my own and would love to take care of your fur babies while you're out. I've been around all breeds and sizes and understand their many different traits and personalities. I love playtime and walking. It is as much fun for me as it is for them. I've administered meds and worked specifically with dogs that needed specialized medical attention. Communication is important to me, as it is to you, so please let me know what you expect. No detail is too small. I can provide updates and photos if you request it; otherwise, I will not take up any of your time while you're away unless a concern arises. I love snuggles and look forward to making your fur babies feel as comfortable and happy as possible. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life! I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping a good routine. I love being around animals and easily fit pet care into my day. I try to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I follow instructions carefully, give lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also send updates so owners know their pets are doing great!
About: I truly enjoy being around dogs. My friends and family have had me watching their dogs for the past 3 years in ouray. Keeps me active and a positive mind Currently retired and have lots of time for walks. Daily cruises to the amphitheater and box canyon. Lots of river walks and also time for dog parks I have a large living room with lots of beds and toys. If the weather is bad we can hang inside and play indoor putting with the dogs. If it's sunny then it's outside time for sure
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
“Janie was great! She was able to take on our timid dog for the weekend at the last minute and he loved her! She definitely has a lot of knowledge about dogs which made us feel so confident and comfortable leaving our dog with her, would definitely use again!”
Fruitvale pet parents share their Rover experiences
We couldn't be happier with the care Annabelle provided for our four pets. From the very beginning, communication was excellent. She sent regular updates and plenty of photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. What truly stood out was the attention she gave to each animal's individual needs. Our pets all have different personalities and routines, and she took the time to understand and accommodate every one of them. She also administered medications reliably. Beyond being highly professional and dependable, she was genuinely caring, personable, and clearly passionate about animals. It was obvious that our pets were not only well cared for but also loved and treated like family. We returned home to happy, healthy pets and a spotless environment. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a trustworthy and exceptional pet sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our furry family members!
Angela was wonderful with our pets. She kept us updated on her schedule while we were out of town and sent us pictures and updates through out the time she was house sitting and taking care of our pets. We will definitely rebook with Angela next time we need a pet sitter.
Eleshia was great! She stayed three nights with our cat and dog who do not get along with one another. She spent time with each pet and made sure they were comforted and well cared for. She left our home just as clean as it was when we left. We will definitely use her again.
Lainya followed all directions left for our furbabies. She done well with the home leaving it tidy for our return home. Her communication while we was gone was above 5 star. Both of our dogs are special needs and she followed directions gave to her with no issues.
Kaya was an amazing dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Kaya genuinely cares about animals and made sure our dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved. She was reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
I would love to be selfish and keep Krizia completely to ourselves. She has all the expected qualities: responsible, communicative, great attention to detail, keeps our animals fed and taken care of. But then there are all the extra things she brings – she is so kind, so thoughtful. She's approachable. She pays attention to our animals and their nuances, like noticing our dog is walking a little slower/stiffer and gives her pain meds. She notices the funny quirks we love so much about our animals and laughs about it too. Krizia is truly the best. We can't recommend her enough!
Amanda is the BEST! She watched our 4 dogs and 1 cat for an entire week and did the most amazing job. We had no worries the entire time we were gone knowing they were in such good hands. She was even flexible when our flights were super delayed! We can’t wait to keep working with her!
Rose was amazing! She took such great care of my dog Layla, and my home. She gave Layla so much love and attention while I was gone, and the updates and photos she sent made me feel so comfortable knowing Layla was happy and in good hands. When I got home Layla was her usual happy self and my house was just as I left it. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was out of the country to know my dog and everything was taken care of with such care and detail. I’ll 100% be booking with Rose again the next time I travel!
Kari took great care our my two dogs, Yukon and Woody. She sent pictures throughout the entire stay and took great attention to detail and care when our puppy, Woody, had a small incident. Wish Kari was available for our next trip and hesitant to leave our pups with someone new!
Debbie was so wonderful with our precious puppies. For being a cat lady she sure knows how to take care of dogs!! She followed their sleeping, eating, and napping schedule exactly as we instructed (yeah, sleeping schedules for puppies is a thing!). She picked up poop and did everything exactly as we had hoped - she even went above and beyond! We really appreciate Debbie and definitely recommend her to all dog lovers!
