“Laura was great with my dog Maverick! He was well taken care of and she provided lots of pictures and updates of their walk. She was also willing to give him his pills if needed. I will definitely be using her again in the future and recommend her to anyone needing reliable pet care.”

“Ryan helped last minute take my dog out several times over the course of the weekend. He was easy to communicate with, flexible and gave plenty of updates. Appreciate the walks!”

About: Im a lover of most all animals especially dogs. I worked at a major dog toy manufacturer for over 10 years. Became friends with a dog trainer who taught me about behaviors and the do's and dont's when interacting with dogs. Is your dog a 'fetcher', 'chewer' or 'tugger'. I'm looking to making new dog friends. I'm recently retired and all days are available. It also gives me an opportunity to get some extra exercise while having a lot of fun doing so. I am looking only for dog walking and sitting at pet owners homes to start. That may change in the future but for now that's what I offer.
About: I am attentive, notice small changes, and I don’t ignore the animals. I follow routines, exactly as given I take pride and being dependable, respectful and consistent. I truly care about building a connection with each dog so they feel comfortable, understood and safe while you’re away. I’m taken care of neighbors dogs for about three years, but I’ve had a dog since I was little. I school and work - schedule When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I make sure feeding schedules, walks, medication’s, and any specific instructions are handled exactly as requested. I also spend quality time with them so they’re not just being checked on but actually getting attention and interaction. I treat every home with respect and keep everything clean and organized while I am there.
About: I love both dogs and cats, I currently have a wonderful cat, Louise! I grew up with a golden retriever and a cavachon! I have dog sat for several different breeds, including wiener dogs, pitbulls, and other breeds. I would love to take your dogs out on walks drop in on your cats and give them the attention they need and deserve while you are away or you are unable to get to them. I cannot host animals at this time, but I would be happy to drop in and see yours while you are away on vacation, at work, or otherwise!
“Gina is the perfect person to walk bruno! She takes care of him very very well and encourages him to walk when he doesn’t want to! If you’re still trying to decide who should be the person to walk/take care of your dog? Gina should be the first person to contact(:”

About: I've lived with dogs for the last 16 years and find that time is best spend with a furry friend. I have experience with reactivity, deaf dogs, administering medications, and love to play, snuggle, and walk with the pup! Every dog deserves to experience the joy the world has to offer & I go above and beyond daily to accommodate any need a dog may have. I like to match your training style & can help enforce training on walks or visits if needed. I work from home during the week so I'm able to devote plenty of time to your pup! I'm able to go on walks throughout the day & let them out as needed. Lots of time for work break snuggles & play! I do not have a fenced in backyard, but that doesn't stop me from making sure your dog has their needs met! I have 2 dogs at home and each of them are walked multiple times a day to ensure they get all the sniffs and sun they want. Your dog will receive the same amount of attention.

About: I’m Casey, a student at the Colorado School of Mines studying engineering physics. When I’m not hitting the books, I love going on walks, the occasional hike, and skiing during the winter. I also love baking and even keep a sourdough starter named JJ! I’ve had 5 pets growing up, starting with my first dog when I was just 2 years old, and 4 cats since then. Because I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, I know that every single pet has a wildly unique personality, and my favorite thing to do is figure out exactly what makes them tick. I’ve loved them all—from my lazy childhood dog Tucker, who was so passive he never growled no matter how hard you squeezed him , to my cat Lizzie, who had a resting grumpy face but was such a sweet lap cat that you simply couldn't move once she sat down. I am incredibly observant and patient with pets' specific needs. Back at home in Seattle, I have a timid senior cat, Josie, who has arthritis in her knees and only drinks from the faucet until her face is covered in water. I also have a playful "dog-cat" named Lucie who loves her boxes and begs to sit on the porch in the sun, and another cat named MeeMee who will chirp at you from across the room when she realizes she's alone. I bring this same grounded, detail-oriented love to every pet I care for. Whether your animal needs a quiet companion or an active walking buddy, you can trust me to be responsible, communicative, and invested in your furry best friend! I'm currently doing research part time with flexible hours, so I'll have plenty of time to adjust to each pet's needs, whether that means a long walk/hike or some quick cuddles. Each pet is different and I'd love to learn what each one needs and make sure they get as much exercise or attention as desired.
“Liv has been nothing but great to us and our dog! She is our regular weekday dog walker and communicates well, is on time, and most importantly is adored by our dog. She was also great and very knowledgeable when meeting our sometimes aggressive dog. She asked all the right questions and did all the right things during the meet and greet; I was so impressed. Would 100% recommend!”


“This is our second time working with Sora for our puppy Hans. Would definitely recommend her to anyone wanting a thoughtful, responsible, and communicative person to watch their pup!”

About: Hi! I am an avid pet lover and grew up with a big floofy dog in my household. I love to go for long walks or run (pending if doggo is capable). I am currently in nursing school so if not in class, I will be home studying and would love to have a companion by my side. I love going for long walks/run a few times a week and if able would love to take the dog along! I have school a few days a week in the morning but otherwise will be free to hang with a pet while studying or to pop in for a quick study break walk! While I do not offer sitting in my own home, I will ensure that everything is how it should while at your house and that the animal is properly cared for.
“Fiona was patient and caring with our pup, Cammie. I appreciate her going the extra mile to make her feel comfortable and being flexible when navigating some challenges with our door code. We hope to use her again in the future!”

About: I have 20 years of hands-on pet care experience and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with multiple high-energy dogs, so caring for pets has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years, I've also lived with roommates whose dogs were just as high-energy, and later a cat, which gave me even more day-to-day experience with different pet personalities, routines, and needs. I have also cared for cats with medical needs. I've done drop-in visits for diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections on schedule. I understand how important consistency, routine, and a calm approach are for pets managing health conditions, and I take that responsibility seriously. My partner and I adopted a cat early last year, so I'm very used to daily pet care and know firsthand how important it is to keep things consistent for a pet's comfort and well-being. Our cat Yuzu is friendly, curious, and very social — I've made sure he's comfortable around new people and pets. If your pet enjoys feline company, they'll have a friendly companion during their boarding stay! Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a good long walk or extra playtime to burn off energy, a cat who just wants a quick check-in and a clean litter box, or a pet who needs full boarding while their owners are away, I'm comfortable and experienced enough to give them the attentive, reliable care they deserve. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I'm happy to work with pets who have special needs, medications, or routines that require extra attention and consistency. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I work from home and have my own cat, Yuzu. Feeding, playtime, and routine check-ins happen daily, so fitting in walks, drop-ins, or boarding for your pet is easy, and I'm able to give them consistent attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are supervised, given a comfortable space, and introduced gradually to Yuzu if they're cat-friendly. In a client's home, I would follow your routines and instructions closely, secure doors and gates, and make sure medications or feeding schedules are followed exactly as directed.
About: I’ve cared for friends dogs as well as my own. I make it a point to pay attention to every dog individually and accommodate for uniqueness. I know some overheat and get tired faster than others, some dogs suffer from chronic ailments, and some are extremely energetic. I’m here for all of it. I am currently a college graduate (Mines) so I pick up pet care opportunities full time while I search for a more permanent career field. I would love to visit your dogs to provide playtime and care, however I am not able to board or house them at my domaine.

Ryan was so great with our dog!!! He was always punctual, had great communication, and was a great match to her high energy! Whenever changes in our schedule came up he was super responsive and we felt confident trusting him with our sweet pup! Highly highly recommend!!
Martha has been incredibly helpful, reliable, and genuinely caring with my dogs, who can be high energy and reactive on walks. I know my girls are safe and comfortable when she comes to visit them. Martha has also been flexible and accommodating with my changing schedule, which I truly appreciate!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Golden on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Golden. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Golden.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golden. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
