“Morgan did a wonderful job doing twice a day drop in care for my elderly cat and giving him his medicine. She sent pictures of every visit. I would definitely have her care for our cat again.”
“This is Ella’s second time sitting for us and she does a great job! She provides pictures of my cats getting some extra loving which is so appreciated. Everything requested is always done, and she keeps things tidy while doing it. Ella is great at communicating and is on time for the appointment. She even went the extra mile to pick up some ornaments that the cats had knocked off our tree and fixed the Christmas tree skirt. She also manages to get my very shy kitty out for some treats. I really appreciate her, she’s a great sitter!”
“Rebecca was super communicative and flexible with our schedule changes. Lots of pics of our animals. Brought in a large package too. So helpful! Looking forward to booking again.”
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.
“Tineke was the absolute PERFECT sitter. She took amazing care of our cat! She provided plenty of pictures, through which we could see that he grew close and comfortable with her very quickly! She’s very responsible and responsive, we could not have found anyone better!”
“Martyna did a great job! She was punctual, communicative, and gave my pets lots of love while we were away. We really appreciated all the updates and photos. We came home to happy pets, and it was clear they had been in great hands! Looking forward to having Martyna watch our pets again.”
About: I have minimal pet sitting experience but I have my own dog- Coto. He is a three year old 60lbs Shepard mix. He has been my very best friend since I got him in 2022 at just 12 weeks old. So, I am very familiar with the ins and outs of caring for a pet. I am a middle school math teacher, so with summers off I am available full time for pet sitting and dog walking. I also have a dog of my own so I am used to the daily routine of pet care. Daily 30 min walks are a non negotiable for me. Coto loves to snuggle and play, so that will be enjoyed by your pet as well.
“Amy was incredibly sweet and took great care of my cat. My cat ran right up to Amy when they first met and immediately loved her. She followed all the instructions perfectly!”
“Ashley was amazing with my dog, Churro! She was super attentive during every drop-in visit and made me feel relaxed knowing he was in great hands. I loved the daily updates and photos, she really went above and beyond. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I have taken care of pets for about 10 years. I’m used to staying overnight to care for the dogs. Feeding, walking and loving pets is always a blast! I work full time from home. My hours are 7am - 3:30pm. I am super flexible with my schedule after work. On weekends I am usually out of my home but am still flexible with my time if things come up. My place is very small and I have a small patio. There are several parks in the area that we can walk to and I am more than happy to drive to a dog park!
“Todd was quick to respond to the booking request and super communicative! He was able to come play with our pup for a while even though our dog isn’t always great with strangers!”
About: I have 17+ years experience volunteering at Humane Colorado (formerly Denver Dumb Friends League). My specialty is walking fearful, high arousal, or strong puller dogs, and a dog that loves to take their time and enjoy nature is always a joy! I also foster dogs of all ages, from newborn puppies to senior dogs, and have fostered a variety of SMAMS over the years. I have 2+ years experience giving sub-Q fluids and injections, and 17 years experience giving medications to all animals. I will give your pup(s) the best care while you are away! I am a current Jeffco educator. I work M-F from 7am to 3 pm. I am open to visit, walk and stay with your pet M-F after 3pm, any time of the day Saturday, and most of the day on Sunday. I volunteer at the shelter on Sunday, so that would be the only time I would have a scheduled absence. I am open to taking them outside on leash, supervising them even if there is a fenced yard, kenneling them or letting them sleep near me if that is what they are used to.
“Glory was a life-saver! I had last-minute long workdays, so I needed to find someone to come and hang with my dog who has a touch of separation anxiety. From Glory’s communication and pictures, I could tell that Huck warmed right up to her! And usually it takes him a little time to embrace new people. He was so excited to see her when she came over for their midday walk. Glory is reliable, communicative, and, of course, very good with animals! She will definitely be my go-to if I ever need help with Huck again.”
“Five paws from my two picky little critics! 🐾 They were loved, spoiled, and so well taken care of while I was away. The updates and photos were the perfect touch, and I came home to happy cats and a stress free house. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
About: As a pet sitter, my dedication to providing personalized care and attention to each furry friend sets me apart. I prioritize building strong bonds with pets, ensuring their comfort and happiness while their owners are away. With a keen eye for detail and a genuine love for animals, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of every pet, creating a safe and loving environment that owners can trust. I am currently in high school so i’ll have lots of time for the pups! I can walk and boarding on weekdays anytime after 4 pm and on weekends it will truly depend on the basketball schedule but I’ll be able to do whatever is needed anytime after 9 am. At home, I pamper my pets with love, playtime, and regular walks. As a professional, I offer reliable pet sitting, dog walking, and personalized care for clients' furry companions.

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.

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.

- 97% 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 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.
