About: I LOVE dogs!! I've grown up with two dogs and they got me through my adolescent years which is no easy feat. I now have two dogs of my own and we spend lots of time at the dog park getting to know many different types of dogs and learning how each breed interacts. I am an extremely responsible person who is prompt and compassionate. I would love the opportunity to take care of, walk or just check in on your dog/dogs! I'm home most of the day so I have lots of free time to spend with your dog. I also am happy to run with your dog or take them to the park if they need a little extra exercise. I'm here for whatever you need and can't wait to get started! I currently have a part-time job a few days a week so the rest of the time I am free to spend with your dog! I am available through the day and nights as well. I have a very dog friendly home and 2 sweet dogs who love to play and make friends. They will definitely tire your dog out with lots of safe play and we love to play fetch!
About: I have an abundance of pet care experience. I muck stalls, trained horses as a teen, and often go to help my mom care for her horse barn in Tennessee. I trained my childhood dogs in a professional setting and have trained all of my pets very well. I understand pet non verbal communication and help them feel comfortable and loved. I have experience with acquatic turtles, cleaning tanks, and feedings. I have experience with large breeds and small breeds. I am available evenings, lunchtimes, and weekends for drop in care or walking. I am willing to take dogs for hikes as well. I am willing to spend time with the pet and give them lots of love. I make sure all pets are comfortable and happy. Healthy pets are very important to me. I believe all animals deserve to feel loved and safe. I know the importance of consistency in routine for animals. Their dependence on humans is not to be taken lightly.
“Isabella was so communicative and flexible to work with for our first drop-in visit! It is such a relief to know your pets are in good care! Will definitely be using Isabelle again in the future!”

I have over 10+ years of experience with my own furbabies but this will be my first time dog/cat sitting. I have house sat for friends and family but not the general public. I'm a full-time LMT.

About: I've grown up around various breeds of dogs, cats, and a few different animals in between! I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give each pet. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I have experience with senior dogs and medication giving as well. Communication is key, therefore you'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages after each visit or walk if preferred. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs and happy to meet you and your fur baby in advance. I'm reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, and I'll treat your pets like they're my own. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. During the week most of my availability is afternoons/evenings and occasional mornings. My work schedule is sporadic! On most weekends when I'm not working, my day is pretty much open! Reach out with days and times and we can see if we can find a way! Unfortunately, we had to make one of the toughest decisions of letting our Sargey boy go this past June. In my heart, I am not ready to start over quite yet but would love to be an honorary dog friend! I truly enjoy getting out for some sunlight and fresh air and would love for your pup to join me or if your pet prefers a round of fetch that is perfectly ok as well!
About: Hi, I’m Megan and I love pets! I grew up with two family cats and took personal responsibility for their well-being. In high school I pet sat for neighborhood pups. Going off to college I missed my best friend kitty and would FaceTime with her! Always a joy to be reunited. Since then I have been intentional for caring for the cats and dogs I come into contact with. I am a happy dauntie (dog auntie) to a golden retriever and love to spoil him with play, adventures, and quality care. I am so excited to meet your pets and build a special bond that supports their individual needs. Pet care is a a passion of mine and I like to fit it into my rotating schedule. Days off are times to dedicate to pet care. Two days off a week are allotted to intentional time with pets. Following owner instructions is the key to pet well-being and happiness! Combining my own experience with cats, dogs, and rodents with the expert directions left by the pet’s loved ones I’m able to provide an optimal experience for all. Popping in to meet pets physical and emotional needs- feeding, watering, play, and walks as arranged!
“Paul is great! I decided to have him walk my pups before I head out of town in the event that there is an emergency. He was more than happy to come over a few weeks ago and meet with my pups and myself. I was surprised how receptive Oly was! She usually hides for a bit until she gets used to someone new. He topped off their water and food. I was concerned because Oly is a little neurotic and Bean has leash aggression. I forgot to mention how to use the gentle lead to Paul for my larger pup, but from the pictures he knows how to use them. Very happy with Paul and definitely will be a repeat weekly walk client. Thank you, Paul!!!”
“Jen helped us out in a pinch and did more than we asked- seeing what needed to be done and proactively taking care of it! I felt so good knowing she was here for our babies!!”

Ryan is amazing!! He agreed to do a meet and greet with our little guy before a drop-in visit and it helped make both us, and our dog feel super comfortable! He was very responsive, prompt, and so sweet to our little guy! We would absolutely recommend Ryan and can’t wait to work with him on the future.
Nadia was so good with our dog Ivy. She got Ivy to warm up to her and became very comfortable with her staying with with her. She sent us photos after each time of visiting Ivy. And kept us informed with text messages while we were away I would highly recommend Nadia for anyone looking for a great pet visitor or sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Golden is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,889 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Golden. 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Golden choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Golden with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
