About: I have 15 years of hands-on pet care experience and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with multiple high-energy dogs, so caring for pets has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years, I've also lived with roommates whose dogs were just as high-energy, and later a cat, which gave me even more day-to-day experience with different pet personalities, routines, and needs. I have also cared for cats with medical needs. I've done drop-in visits for diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections on schedule. I understand how important consistency, routine, and a calm approach are for pets managing health conditions, and I take that responsibility seriously. My partner and I adopted a cat early last year, so I'm very used to daily pet care and know firsthand how important it is to keep things consistent for a pet's comfort and well-being. Our cat Yuzu is friendly, curious, and very social — I've made sure he's comfortable around new people and pets. If your pet enjoys feline company, they'll have a friendly companion during their boarding stay! Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a good long walk or extra playtime to burn off energy, a cat who just wants a quick check-in and a clean litter box, or a pet who needs full boarding while their owners are away, I'm comfortable and experienced enough to give them the attentive, reliable care they deserve. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I'm happy to work with pets who have special needs, medications, or routines that require extra attention and consistency. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I work from home and have my own cat, Yuzu. Feeding, playtime, and routine check-ins happen daily, so fitting in walks, drop-ins, or boarding for your pet is easy, and I'm able to give them consistent attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are supervised, given a comfortable space, and introduced gradually to Yuzu if they're cat-friendly. In a client's home, I would follow your routines and instructions closely, secure doors and gates, and make sure medications or feeding schedules are followed exactly as directed.
“Jessica was a wonderful caretaker for my aging Newfoundland and my Newfoundland puppy. She was very responsive and communicative, and a very pleasant person to work with. I would definitely ask for her help again, and I highly recommend her!”
“William did an excellent job of taking care of our pup! He was caring, prompt and great at communicating with us. We highly recommend him and hope he can continue to care for Finn in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Laura, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a small farm where I helped care for horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, and just about every furry friend you can imagine. That experience taught me how to be patient, attentive, and comfortable with animals of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and am now a proud pet mom to my two cats, Lulu and Loki, and my dog, Odella. I understand how much our pets mean to us because mine are truly part of my family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love and care. I work remotely from my home in Golden, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, medications (if needed), and plenty of companionship. I love spending time outdoors and am always happy to take active dogs on long walks or adventures that match their comfort and energy level. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to provide cuddles, enrichment, and a calm, reassuring presence at home. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. My goal is for you to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I work remotely from home in Golden, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their routine whenever possible. I strive to be as flexible as I can to meet you and your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications (if requested and I’m comfortable administering them), and any other special care your pet needs. I work remotely from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable visits throughout the day. I’ll always prioritize your pet’s safety by using secure leashes and harnesses on walks, respecting your home, and making sure your pet feels comfortable while you’re away. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and receiving the same love and attention I’d give my own pets.
“Casey did a great job caring for our kittens! She came over before we left and you could immediately tell she loves cats and can read their body language. She sent many pictures of them playing and interacting with her, and cleaned up after one of them threw up. We would recommend Casey and would have her watch our cats again!”
“Fiona took wonderful care of my cats while I was out of town. She was communicative, gave great daily updates and photos, and felt everything nice and tidy. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Ginna was a life saver agreeing to come over same day and visit my stinky man while myself and my roommate were away. They were very professional, and I loved the pictures they took of my sweet boy!”
“Mishel is always so attentive to my kittens and gives them a lot of time and love. I love all her extra photos and have been rebooking her consistently for a while now!”
“Thank you so much again. I really appreciate that you got the bun some carrots and pee pads when we ran out! It also was really cool of you to drop in twice. We always hate leaving our animals, but I felt they were very well taken of.”
“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”
About: I am a huge animal lover! Many of my family and friends will comment that I need several dogs in my life. I am happy to care for a laid back pet or an energetic one. I have a caring personality as I am a nurse. I just moved back to Colorado and would love for a dog or cat to entertain me on my days off. I have a very flexible schedule being a nurse, and on my days off I can likely be available all day to assist with pet care. I’d be happy to work with and around your routine to be as accommodating as possible. I am very attentive, allowing dogs to eat/drink and go on walks whenever needed. Caring for pets comes naturally and easy to me while safety and health is always a priority.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Golden
My cat is 18 years old and needs medication. I was worried about leaving him even for three nights. Andrew came twice a day to feed, water, medicate and check on him, including cleaning the litter box. He even brought in a package and watered outdoor plants. Will definitely use him again!
We had a last-minute change of plans and Kayla kindly agreed to take care of our cats on very short notice. We’re so so grateful for this! Most importantly, she took wonderful care of our kitties and followed all our instructions perfectly. When we got home, everything was just as we left it, without any new mess.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golden. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
