“Alissa was the best cat watcher! She gave me updates everyday and made sure to find Ghost when she was hiding one visit. She was very responsive and so kind. Would highly recommend!”
About: I don't know what it is just all dogs take a liking to me right away. I believe every dog is special and unique, incredible. As of now my schedule is very open I only have one client currently my kids in school husband at work I need new dog friends I treat my clients home with respect only going to where I've been instructed everything I need for the dogs is located always lock up
“Ashley did a great job overall and arrived to my home every day that I needed her there for. Provided me with daily pictures of my pet and gave updates on how much food was eaten which was good to know. Would highly recommend.”
“We appreciated Savannah taking care of the girls. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that the girls were in great hands. Will definitely book again with Savannah.”
“I left town for a long weekend and Jennifer was amazing on her drop ins! June warmed right up to her from the beginning and they were playing in no time. June barely noticed I was gone. Will definitely rebook.”
About: Hi! I'm 19 years old, and I've never known life without pets. Because of that, I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry friends behind when you're away. I've cared for pets of all kinds throughout my life, cats, dogs, exotic pets, etc. I think what makes my care unique is my personal love of each pet. No matter their breed, size, or personality, I'll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I work part-time as I’m currently an online college student so plenty of time will be devoted to your pets! I am flexible when it comes to relocating to fit your pet’s needs! I live in an apartment with a spacious area to walk around outside and a dog park! I have one senior cat I rescued that sleeps all day in his cat tree. I’m well adjusted to all personalities of pets, the crazy ones, and the lazy ones!
About: Hi Everyone! I have shown dogs since 2003. I also used to be an assistant manager for a doggy day care at PetSmart as well as a Manager for PetSmart. Pets are my life and I will treat your pet like they are my own! Currently I have a retired Golden Retriever named Summer and 2Tollers-named Cardinal and Tasha. I also have 3 cats. One indoor cat and 2 outdoor/indoor cats that I rescued from a farm in Texas. I am currently working from home and spend my days with my dogs. I take my dogs to training classes such as Conformation and Rally and they love it. I have a large yard with lots of outdoor toys and your fur babies will have a great time running around the yard with my 2 dogs.
About: With nine years of dedicated pet‑sitting experience, from raising puppies and owning pets my whole life, working at a stable, to working in a vet office, I’ve cared for a wide variety of beloved companions—horses, dogs, cats, and even parrots! I bring a personal approach and professional skill set to every job and try to treat each animal like my own. What Sets Me Apart- Reliable communication: I send frequent photo and video updates so owners can relax knowing everything's going smoothly. Home-away-from-home care: My goal is to replicate each pet’s normal environment—whether that’s the pasture, living room, or aviary—so they feel at ease in your absence. I’d love to chat about how I can provide compassionate, professional care for your furry or feathered family members. Feel free to ask about my routines, special animal skills, or typical day—you’ll know your pets are in great hands! I work from home and have a pretty open-flexible schedule. When I agree to a job, I make sure my life goes around your animals as much as I can. We have a fenced yard and dog pen in the yard as well. We have a loving, 2 year old Aussie that would love to play with your friend or I can crate either your pet or mine if needed. If I am coming to your home for check-ins or walks, I try to make your pet feel comfortable and loved on in your absence.
About: Hi, I'm Lori from Fort Lupton. I ran a home daycare for 15 years and have worked in schools, so I'm used to keeping a close eye on little ones and sticking to a routine. I have two small dogs of my own (both 11 lbs), and small dogs are my specialty. I offer drop-in visits ($20), dog walks ($20), and overnight house sitting ($50 a night) in Fort Lupton, Brighton, Longmont, and Thornton. I'm starting with 2–3 regular customers so I can give each dog real attention. Happy to follow your feeding, medication, and walk routine exactly as you leave it.
“Dillon did a few drop in visits for my pups and was absolutely amazing! My German shepherd has never met him before the visits and he was a pro at getting her to warm up to him! He also played with them and adjusted to their different play styles. We will be contacting Dillon again for future visits! I highly recommend him!!”
About: I love animals! It’s fun for me to get to meet your pet. I happily take care of dogs 25lbs and up. I have 3 dogs of my own. The youngest is playful and fun. The other two get along well with other dogs but are older. I can drop in on cats at your house. I work part time both at home and in an office. This is a part time addition to my life because I love to get to meet new pet friends and their parents. As a young child my first pet was a guinea pig named whiskers. You’ll see a pic of him and me in the photos. My family also had a dog named Pepsi who I loved playing with. In college, I got my first dog on my own. She was an Australian cattle dog / german shepard mix. She was strong willed and high energy like any blue heeler and she taught me a ton about caring for a pet. Before starting with Rover, I had helped friends watch their cats and dogs while they were on trips. We have a 5 year old shih poo, a 14 year old standard schnauzer and a 1.5 year old border collie mix. I’m familiar with high energy, intensity animals and those who need a slower pace. I’m interested in helping care for dogs in our home or cats in your home if it’s near where we live. I have a job that has a flexible schedule. I work some days all at home and others in an office. If your dog is active we will include them on walks and we have a split rail fence in our back yard. Pets can have roaming privileges around the house or be in a crate if that brings them comfort. Our dogs sleep in the bedroom with us mostly in their beds but occasionally on the human beds with us. We take regular walks and pets can go outside frequently. I will treat your pet to a fun stay at our house and send them home with you happy :)
About: I've been around dogs my entire life, it was a staple growing up having multiple dogs around me. From pet sitting, training puppies to adults, feeding and bathing them regularly, I know the importance of making sure they are well cared for. You will know from the body language of a dog if they are truly happy, and that is what makes me feel happy. I am currently a post college graduate so I have the time and energy to care for your pets at any day's moment. I am a night owl so I am flexible regardless of your pets schedule! I have two dogs and one cat in my house. My cat stays in a separate room while my dogs roam the house with a fenced yard. I have cared for many dogs in different types of living spaces and willing to adapt whatever fits best.
“McKinnley was great! Our dogs loved her. She confirmed what we needed her to do on the 1st day. I'm a nervous dog mom and this is our 2nd attempt to find a sitter in the Greeley area (1st time with Rover). We definitely will be using McKinnley for our future dog sitting needs.”
“Dana did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was traveling. She texted me pictures, kept open communication while I was away, and followed my care instructions closely. When I returned home my cat was happy and not stressed (as she can often become when we leave). I attribute this entirely on the love and care Dana gave her. I will definitely be using Dana again. Highly recommend.”
About: I've house and pet sit for friends & family for years, due to my size I can walk more than one big dog at a time. I'm a Lyft driver so pets and home can come first during my work week without any worries because I set my own schedule at Lyft. I will provide the exact rules that you leave for your home and pets and act as if I could be you the parents as much as I able while you're gone.
About: I treat every dog like they’re my own. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and fun environment tailored to each pup’s personality. I’m patient, reliable, and really pay attention to the little things that keep dogs comfortable and happy. Pet care is a consistent part of my everyday life. I structure my schedule so I have plenty of time for walks, play, feeding, and one-on-one attention When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep a clean, pet-friendly space with cozy spots for rest, plenty of toys, and a calm environment. I follow their normal feeding, walking, and play routines so their day feels familiar

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 4,339 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gilcrest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gilcrest. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
