“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!”
“Stephen was very communicative with me and attentive to my dog! I booked with Stephen because I thought he would bring the energy level that my dog needs, and he delivered! Will book again.”
“Anne is very sweet and was such a great sitter. She helped care for my dog last minute and provided me with feedback at each visit along with pictures to keep me in the loop. I highly recommend using Anne to take great care of your pets.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Katherine is a phenomenal pet sitter! She went above and beyond giving our rabbits the best care! She was so communicative throughout our trip. The love and attention she showed our animals gave me so much comfort while away. Definitely would recommend!!!”
“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!”
“Danielle was awesome! Just a super comfortable experience. The perfect amount of updates and photos. Clear and easy communication. Came home to a couple of very happy kitties. Look forward to Danielle watching our animals again!”
“Savannah did an amazing job sitting for our dogs. Her promptness, communication, and attention to detail were excellent throughout the entire stay. She handled our dogs with care and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Highly recommended for anyone on Rover. We will be using her again for sure.”
About: Here’s a full “About Me” style experience section covering everything: I’ve been around animals my whole life – cats and dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. On the dog side, I’ve spent time with Great Pyrenees, so I know what it means to care for a gentle giant who needs space, steady handling, and someone who isn’t intimidated by the size. I’ve also worked with high-energy breeds like Corgis who need real engagement, and small but mighty dogs like Chihuahuas who have opinions and aren’t shy about sharing them. Whether your dog wants to burn off steam on a long walk or curl up and not move for two hours, I match their energy – not the other way around. With cats, I’ve handled the full spectrum – chaotic kittens who need supervision and stimulation, seniors who want quiet company and a predictable routine, and multi-cat households where keeping the peace is its own skill set. Every animal is different. My job is to figure out what yours needs and deliver that – not a generic visit, but one that actually fits them. I am working part time from home so I have tons of time everyday to spend with your furry friends. I do a few big walks a day and would love your pets to tag along. I have a big back yard and lots of space to keep your furry friend occupied. I also love taking long walks with your friends.
About: As a dedicated pet lover and experienced caretaker, I bring reliability, care, and a genuine passion for pets that sets me apart from other sitters. Having been surrounded by dogs and cats since I was 10, I understand what it takes to make animals feel safe, happy, and loved. Although I recently said goodbye to my beloved 16-year-old dog, I miss the joy of having pets around. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care, and my personal goal of 10,000 steps a day ensures your dog will get plenty of exercise. Family and friends already consider me their go-to pet sitter and dog walker, and I’d love to bring that same reliable, heartfelt service to you and your furry family members! Pet care is a perfect fit for my flexible lifestyle and work-from-home schedule in tech sales. Moving to Golden, CO, I’m excited to offer even more space and opportunities for pets to thrive. My new home features a large yard with grass, a fenced dog park across the street ideal for bigger dogs and multiple pets to play, relax, and stretch out between walks. This spacious setup allows for a safe and fun environment, whether your pet enjoys structured outdoor activities or simply lounging in the sun. Golden is surrounded by incredible parks and trails, offering endless outdoor adventures. Nearby spots like Apex Park, Clear Creek Trail, and South Table Mountain Park are perfect for walks, hikes, and exploring the scenic beauty of Colorado. With a personal goal of 10,000 steps a day, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise and enrichment, whether it’s a stroll along the creek or a hike with gorgeous mountain views. I’m available for day sittings, house sitting and boarding throughout the week. Since I occasionally travel for work, I kindly request 2 week advance notice for boarding services to ensure everything is set up for a comfortable stay. My goal is to create a loving, engaging environment for your pet with plenty of exercise, attention, and care—all in a spacious, pet-friendly home near some of Colorado’s best outdoor spaces. Safety and Trust: Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. My new home in Golden, CO, offers plenty of space for pets to relax and enjoy a comfortable indoor environment. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I live near beautiful parks and trails like Apex Park and Clear Creek Trail, ensuring your dog will have plenty of safe, engaging outdoor adventures. You can trust that your pet will always be cared for with love and attention in a secure and welcoming environment. When caring for pets in your home, I take great care to respect your space while keeping your pet’s routines consistent. I focus on creating a familiar, stress-free atmosphere, following any special instructions you provide, and keeping you updated so you can enjoy peace of mind. How I Care for Pets in My Home: In my home, your pet will have ample space to relax, play, and feel at ease. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure to provide plenty of outdoor time with frequent walks and play sessions at nearby parks and trails. Living in Golden means we’re just steps away from scenic, pet-friendly spaces, making every outing enjoyable and enriching. Inside, I provide cozy areas for rest and relaxation, ensuring your pet feels like part of the family during their stay. How I Care for Pets in Clients’ Homes: When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize keeping their routines intact. From feeding schedules to playtime, I tailor my care to match what they’re used to, reducing any stress while you’re away. Whether it’s a walk in their favorite park, administering medications, or simply extra snuggles, I adapt to your pet’s needs to keep them happy and comfortable. I also take great care of your home, leaving it just as you left it. No matter the setting, I strive to create a safe, loving environment for your pet. My focus is on providing a personalized, engaging experience that keeps tails wagging and pets feeling secure!
About: I'm a dog mom through and through, which means I come fully equipped with treats, belly rub expertise, and zero judgment about how many times your pup needs to sniff the same bush. I'm comfortable with everything from 8-week-old puppies to senior dogs (note for senior dogs: they will need to go up stairs). I'll send you an unreasonable number of photos of your dog having the time of their life while they play with my sweet gal, Mocha. Your dog will be spoiled, loved, and probably a little tired by the time you pick them up. I work from home, so your dog is never stuck home alone. They'll have access all day, every day to backyard zoomie sessions in my large, fully-fenced yard, midday sniff adventures, and plenty of couch time in between. Big dogs especially love the backyard! I offer boarding seven days a week and doggy daycare Monday through Friday. Drop-off and pick-up can easily work around your schedule. My home is a dog-friendly zone. The backyard is large and fully fenced. I don't typically use crates. Your dog is free to roam comfortably inside and out, just like they would at home. However, if you would like me to crate them I can. My own friendly dog is part of the package, so your pup will have a built-in buddy to hang out with! I do a slow introduction to make sure the dogs hit it off. As for furniture, I follow your lead! If your dog is used to the couch, they're welcome on mine. If you'd prefer they stay off, I'll happily reinforce that (my dog has already claimed the good cushion anyway). Since I work from home, I'm around to keep an eye on things all day.
“Silvia’s visit with Rufus was great! She made sure to keep me updated while she was with Rufus and sent me photos of him playing outside and taking care of business. Her service gave me relief knowing that my pup was taken care of while I was at work. I’m definitely booking her again.”
About: I have had pets since I can remember. I’m an animal lover and believe our pets are our family members and should be cared for and treated as such. I am a high school English teacher, off for the summer and would love to spend my free time helping you with your furry family members. I have a 4 year old yellow lab, Belle, and a 3 year old cat, Wayne at home. High school English teacher off for the summer. Have a very open schedule. Will block off any days I am unavailable or out of town. Reach out with any questions! Availability: M-Fri: all hours Weekends: All hours I am only servicing Drop-ins and Dog walking as I am living in an apartment in Golden. I want the best environment for your animals so I will not be doing overnight stays at my home. Open to staying at your home if that’s necessary.
About: From a young age, I have loved dogs. My California cousins bred Afghans, and I absolutely adored being around all the puppies and dogs. I am comfortable with all breeds. Growing up, I had a Royal Standard Poodle and an English Setter. As an adult, we have had labs. My husband and I trained our labs and I will be happy to provide consistent training if you wish. I am well aware of the crazy energy active dogs have and know how to provide activities to keep them happy. I am an avid hiker and can provide whatever your dogs need for fun and exercise. And truly, if they just want companionship, I love reading with a dog happily snoring. As a retired teacher, I have tons of flexibility. I do also think pets have their own routine, so my flexibility gives allowance for adapting to the dog's needs. Pets will have the ability to access our backyard and not stress about being lonely. Based on the dog and owner, I am able to accommodate to the pet's needs. I can walk/hike with those that need exercise. I am home much of the day as well. I have a large, fenced in backyard as well

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.
Sara is so patient and understanding of our timid Tali! I know some people might not always be willing to put in the time to get to know a scared pup with a past - and Sara is so willing!! I know she and Tali will be buds in no time. We look forward to working with Sara !!!!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Golden stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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.
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.

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.
