“Bryce was great with my Cats during a stressful time for all of us. He was reliable, conscientious, and did well with my Cat who likes to hide. He was flexible when my plans changed which I appreciated.”

I’m primarily free on weekends but am also available on weekdays after 5pm. Just send me message about your needs and I’ll let you know id I can accomodate!

About: I love animals more than life!! Ive been so lucky to have had such a wide variety of pets of my own and to have met and cared for so many of my friends and families pets as if they are my own. I worked at a doggy daycare facility for a year, which gave me extensive knowledge on caring for dogs and reading body language. I am well equipped to care for animals of all sizes!! I currently do not have other pets or children, making me flexible with my availability on both weekends and weekdays for any services your pet may need! Caring for animals will make my days a million times better!! I am keen on treating your pets as if they are my own.

“My dog is a very nervous dog and Melina is great with her. We did a meet and greet prior to the first visit. She was so patient with Millie and by the end Millie was asking for pets. We will def keep using Melina.”
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
“Luther is professional, incredibly knowledgeable and has excellent communication skills. He took great care of our animals while we were on a long vacation. We will definitely hire him again and highly recommend him!”
“Olivia took good care of our cat and four backyard chickens, dropping in twice per day for nine days while we were out of town. All the animals were alive and well, and the house was in great shape. She sent a brief note and a photo or two with each visit. She even did a few extra visits to keep the cat company and make sure the chickens were ok after a storm. We would certainly ask Olivia to look after our crew again!”
“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!”
“Summerlyn is attentive and detailed and very clearly a warm and lovely animal person!! Very understanding and flexible when needs change which was a huge relief for me. 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: Hey there! My name is Sarah. I live in Golden and service the greater Denver Metro area, Boulder, and select areas in the mountains. I specialize in working with senior, special needs and reactive animals. I’ve been around, owned, and taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents and Farm animals from a very young age. I’ve had hands on experience working with all types of animal and their personalities through my time volunteering at animal shelters, working as a vet assistant over the years, as well as raising and taking care of my own and others pets. My friends and family have frequently called on me to watch over their furbabies, knowing they were safe, loved and receiving care from someone who is dependable and communicative. I was raised with the mentality that our pets are part of our family, and I bring that attitude and energy every time I’m entrusted with the wellbeing of your animals. Rover is my full -time job, so I have a lot of availability and flexibility to give your animals the love, care, attention and exercise they need! I’m fully capable of providing plenty of supervision and care while house sitting, doing drop in visits, or going for walks. I have experience with leashed and non leashed walks in all kinds of environments, including on hiking trails, in house play, and supervised time with fenced - in yards and dog parks.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10. I grew up with both and have always loved animals/pets! I'm very respectful and caring. I currently work full time as an accountant in Louisville, CO. I can work remote (anywhere) Friday. House sitting I can any time Fri - Sun. Dog walking I can 530 pm (I'm out right at 5) on Mon - Fri, and any time during the weekend! I of course will follow any instruction. Am fine walking, running with your dog. I'm also very comfortable if it's a dog not as friendly with others (in terms of walking etc).
“Great first experience with Rover! Stephanie was very thoughtful with her visit notes and pictures taking care of our older kitty. We plan to contact her again the next time we need a cat sitter ❤️”
About: I am a stay at home mom so i have time to provide excellent care and service. I have always owned pets so I am experienced. I am flexible and can work with any one to provide the needs of their animals. I have experience with a variety of animals including dogs and cats. Growing up I have always had animals in the home starting from dogs going to birds. Care of any animal is always my top priority and love to give updates often. I'm open to pretty much anything. Taking dogs for walks or even coming into your home to ensure your pet is well cared for is always a top priority for me. Animals are a big part of my life and always enjoy being around them. I’m a stay at home mom who can take care of your pet care needs during the day while my kids are in school. I can help on weekends as well with enough notice. I can come to your home when needed for your animal care needs. I can clean litter boxes and give medication to pets if needed. I’m flexible with your needs.
About: I’ve had a lifetime of hands-on experience combined with the energy to provide structured, high-energy exercise for active dogs. Growing up with pets gave me a natural intuition for canine behavior, and I specifically gained valuable experience helping raise and train our family dog from a young puppy in high school, giving me a strong foundation in patience and consistency. Whether your pet needs a high-mileage workout or strict adherence to a precise training and feeding routine, I pride myself on delivering dedicated, reliable care that keeps your dog safe, happy, and thriving. As a student and athlete, my days are highly structured, which actually gives me great, predictable blocks of time for pet care. I train early and manage my own study hours, leaving me with plenty of flexibility throughout the day and evening to focus entirely on your pet. Because of my schedule, I'm incredibly used to sticking to precise routines, so your pet's feeding times and walks will always be right on time. Taking care of pets fits perfectly into my active lifestyle, and I love using my breaks to give them the dedicated attention and exercise they need. I have a spacious house and a nice grass yard for your dog to play. There are no other pets in the house so no need to worry about fights.
“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.”

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. 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 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.

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.
