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.
“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.
“Liv is amazing. If you want an amazing human taking care of your precious family member she is your go to! I was in town as a travel RN and she was amazing with my girl Sage for the last 3 months! She is caring and will go the extra mile in making sure your dog is well cared for with excellent communication and updates. I would for sure use Liv again for weekly walks as well as for overnight stays with your pet. We will miss you tons! You were absolutely the highlight of Sages assignment🥰”
“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 grew up with veterinarians for parents and was always in and out of their clinic and over the years I've learned so much about pet health especially for dogs and cats, I love all animals and Im really looking forward to keeping your pets happy and healthy with plenty of love and safety. You'll never have to worry whether you baby is safe when Im watching them or walking them, I will be very careful, safe, nice and most of all make sure you pet is happy and HYDRATED, with plenty of approved treats. Your pet will be of my number one priority and will get the best care if I am chosen to watch them, hope you pick me, cant wait to meet your pets!! Im a senior at Colorado School of Mines so I have many gaps in my day & available to do multiple visits a day if needed! I do not offer pet sitting within my own home, but I am very respectful when in the homes of others. I have been pet sitting and baby sitting for many years.
About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I also have extensive animal care experience from past roles working at AZA zoos. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust and provide the kind of care that works best for them. I’m patient, kind and compassionate, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m also very active and happy to provide plenty of walks, exercise and playtime for dogs who need it. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, affectionate or independent, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated and care for them as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide dogs with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, along with regular bathroom breaks, walks, playtime and exercise. Because I’m home, dogs in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can easily adapt my schedule to their normal feeding, medication and activity routines. I genuinely enjoy having a dog by my side while I work and making sure they feel comfortable, engaged and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, bathroom breaks and any household rules. I provide plenty of attention, exercise and playtime while also respecting when a pet needs quiet time or space. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the property, and I make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also provide regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and receiving patient, compassionate care.
About: 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!
“Many thanks to Jess for being flexible with our changing schedules, a great communicator, and 100% reliable. The dogs and the people in our household appreciate her and look forward to working with her again!”
“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’ve been overnight pet sitting for the last 4 years, I have dog sat for multiple family’s with dogs of all sizes and ages. I’d love to take your dog for a walk, or just hangout and play! I am not currently working during the summer, in the school year I don’t have classes till the afternoon and then I’m free again in the evening after track practice. While walking I pay attention to the dogs needs, like making sure the ground isn’t too hot and walking in shaded areas. I also believe that letting the dog sniff makes for a better walk!
“Melina saved the day and took Brego for a much needed walk while I was enjoying a little more time than usual on the mountain. Will definitely be requesting her services again!”
“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!”
“She was amazing. Needed her to walk my 3 dogs at night for three nights. Was always on time and sent pics of the animals to let me know she was there and after the walk. I will definitely use her again. You can honestly see the love she has for animals.”
“Dan was really fantastic. Very accommodating and clearly loves dogs. Carter had so much fun with him going to the dog park and really getting extra care. Dan is fabulous, an excellent caregiver for your dog.”
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 am new to Missoula but started using rover a few months ago in Colorado. I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid and many friends and family have relied on me to watch or stay with their dog. I am extremely attentive to each and every dog I’ve watched making sure they have an easy adjustment when their owners are gone. I am currently working remote from my home, I am able to walk and care for my dog throughout the day and take breaks for them. I am a pet owner myself and understand the relationship between owner and pet and will update owners and send pictures as much as they want! I have one friendly pup to keep your dog company. We have a fenced in backyard but love to go on walks! We live in a clean dog friendly house.

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 August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 13,119 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Golden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
