About: I’ve lived with dogs my entire life, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra care and daily routines, so taking care of pets is second nature to me. Working from home full-time means I’m always around to keep your dog company, stick to their schedule, and give them plenty of love and yard time in our spacious, fully fenced setup. Our family dog, Ozzie, is about as calm, lazy, gentle, and non-confrontational as they come. His easygoing vibe helps even shy or anxious dogs settle right in and feel at home. Whether your pup needs active playtime in the yard or just a quiet spot to snooze nearby while I work, they’ll be treated like part of our family. Since I work full-time from home, caring for your dog flows naturally throughout my entire day rather than being crammed into mornings or evenings. My flexible schedule allows for frequent potty breaks, outdoor play in our fenced yard, and regular walks whenever your dog needs them. Your pup will lounge in my office alongside Ozzie, enjoying constant companionship, routine supervision, and immediate attention whenever they need a stretch, a treat, or a mid-day head scratch. Since I work from home full-time, your dog gets continuous supervision, regular check-ins, and a secure environment. Our spacious, fully fenced yard allows for safe off-leash play and potty breaks, while inside, we have plenty of dog beds for lounging and multiple crates available if your pup prefers a quiet, familiar space to sleep.
About: I love to walk and run with dogs! I also like hosting or checking in on cats! I am great at connecting with animals and making sure that their needs are being met. I have spent most of my life around animals and recently lost my cat. I am hoping to share some love with your pet! I work full time and I am available on weekends to host dogs. Cats I can host any time and play after work! I'm free in the evenings for walks and check ins. I have an apartment that is clean and safe for pets. I do not have a yard, but my place is set up for cats with a scratching post and toys!
About: I lived with a dog throughout my entire childhood and then my family and neighbors started to depend on me for their dog sitting needs. Caring for and watching dogs continued throughout college and my graduate school. I am also a recent PA school graduate from CU, so I love caring for humans too (: I just finished graduate school and have not started my first job yet, so I have an incredibly flexible schedule. I am happy to work any day of the week at any time of the day! I am adaptable to any home or neighborhood environment. I have typically cared for dogs with fenced in yards and I love taking dogs on walks. I am a runner in my free time, so I am happy to be active in whatever way is best for your dog(s).
“Danielle is amazing, she is so good with our dog Rollo. She takes last minute bookings and is available in emergencies and we love how flexible she is. Our dog goes nuts over her. We are moving soon and would do anything to take her with us. Picking her to take care of your 4 legged family member would be the best decision you make.”

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life! I've volunteered with and fostered for local dog rescues, in addition to raising dogs of my own, giving me experience with puppies, seniors, and dogs with a variety of personalities and needs. My fiancé works remotely from home full-time, and I work a hybrid schedule as a physician assistant, so there's almost always someone home for companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. We currently share our home with our friendly 2-year-old Golden Retriever and our sweet 12-year-old Bernedoodle, who love making new friends. With a fully fenced backyard and a neighborhood full of scenic trails, your pup will enjoy lots of exercise, sniffari adventures, and, of course, plenty of love. We can't wait to welcome your dog into our home! I am currently working as a Physician Assistant at a telehealth company and work a hybrid schedule.

We have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups at home including a 12 year old Bernedoodle and 2 year old golden retriever. The Golden absolutely loves having friends over. We have a crate if needed for your pup.

About: I have 38 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, and kittens. My experience includes caring for multiple animals during extended house stays, administering medications, bathing dogs and kittens, and providing attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s needs and personality. I’m also certified in Dog & Cat First Aid and CPR, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in capable and caring hands. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Before and after work visits. On days when I am not working my other job I am happy to visit mid day as well. Regular 30 min visits unless otherwise booked. Dogs will get outdoor time which will be on a case to case basis. My pets are spoiled. They get so many snuggles, lots of play time, they are papered with getting brushed and treats every night. Their litters are kept clean and I even have a cat that likes to hydrate in the shower multiple times a day.
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!
About: I grew up with a dog and have always loved pets and animals of all kinds! When I used to stay with my sister, I would watch her two dogs and take them on walks regularly. I have also watched pets (including dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, gerbils, etc.) for friends over the years. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule! I finished my doctorate program in acupuncture, moved to Colorado at the start of this year, got my license and I’m currently looking for a job in my field. I do watch my nephews every Thursday and Friday but the rest of the week I have a lot of availability. I’m happy to feed, walk, and play with your pet. I have a cat of my own and I know the importance of taking good care of our furry friends! I love both dogs and cats and would be happy to help with either. Detailed instructions and clear communication for care is appreciated.
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 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!
“Amy was very good with Gypsy when we first met and asked a lot of questions. She was super punctual and sent me cute pictures during the walks. Will definitely be using Amy again!”
“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!!”
About: I’ve been dog walking and dog sitting for nearly two decades. I’m comfortable with any breed, young and young at heart, and any size. Two years ago, I decided to get my own black lab mix named Gideon who is great with other dogs. I’m here to help keep your pup company if you have to travel or a standard work day. I work from home and live a 10 minute walking distance to Green Mountain trailhead. Gideon and I would love the extra company! I work from home M-F and take my dog out x3 times a day. We also go on hikes on the weekends or after work if it’s not too hot. My place has a balcony which is Gideon’s favorite past time just watching the people and critters that go by in the fresh foothills air. For boarding, your pup is welcome to stay at my place and can sleep on the couch or spare dog bed. I have toys and interactive puzzles to keep my pup stimulated and Gideon is happy to share. When I have dog sat in the past, I would usually go to the pup’s home so they were most comfortable bringing everything I need for myself and learning their routine. For boarding, I like to have a walk through or at least a conversation about boundaries and what’s comfortable for everyone. Know that your pup will get quality care.
“Cheryl did a wonderful job checking on our kitty and keeping us updated. She was also super helpful and flexible when we ran into travel challenges. Would definitely recommend her to others!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Golden
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.

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.

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
