“Nina was great and took such good care of my boys. They were happy for her visits and met her at the door. She sent great photos and notes about how they were doing. Will definitely book again!!”
“Jessica was a wonderful caretaker for my aging Newfoundland and my Newfoundland puppy. She was very responsive and communicative, and a very pleasant person to work with. I would definitely ask for her help again, and I highly recommend her!”
“Melina did a great job keeping Rosie company while I had to travel out of town for work. She is dependable and took great care of my dog. I would absolutely have her back.”
“We literally cannot thank Ginna enough for her effortless ability to care for our two kitties the way we do. We were gone for a long weekend for our wedding & normally we check in constantly. With Ginna, we didn’t have to. She followed our care sheets & sent updates throughout the stay that made us so comfortable, even when we weren’t able to communicate much because of how busy we were. We appreciate you so much, Ginna!”
“Mercedes has gone above and beyond to accommodate the needs of our two mini dachshunds ( one who needs more cuddle time, the other who is more of an adventurer) as well as to ease our minds with regard to leaving them for extended periods for the first time. She has been very responsive with all communications and punctual with her visits, and further exceedingly patient with us as we navigate using Rover for the first time. We appreciate her friendly and professional attitude, as do our dogs! :)”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life of all shapes, sizes, personalities and needs. From outgoing pets to shy pets, there isn’t a dog or cat I don’t love. I work hard to get to know your pet individually so that they get just what they need whether that’s lots of pets, some quiet alone time, or some fun play time. For every visit or walk I provide photos and updates so you don’t have to wonder what’s going on. I am also able to stick to any routine or training regimen that you’re working on. I work night shift three days a week and only watch pets on my off days, so those days are totally dedicated to pet time, including for my own Goldendoodle. I follow your instructions exactly to make sure not only that your pet feels safe and comfortable, but that you also feel comfortable with their care.
“Mackenzie checked in multiple times when watching my puppy. He was super responsive and sent photos which was amazing! My puppy absolutely loved seeing Mackenzie. During the first visit he stayed longer than needed so that my puppy could get more use to him being around. Each update was thorough as well. I strongly recommend Mackenzie!!”
“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!”
“Marissa was very professional and easy to work with. I have a cat with high needs and she took all of my strange requests in stride. She was organized, able to administer medications, communicative, and sent funny photos! I'd definitely recommend Marissa. Thanks!”
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.
About: I grew up with three family dogs. I know how to take care of them, give them affection, read their body language, and more! You can trust me to treat your fur babies well. 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! I can follow any special instructions provided to me and will be sure that your pets needs are fully met in the best way possible.
About: As a former veterinary assistant (4 years experience) I've had the pleasure of caring for a variety of companions, including seniors and those with medical needs. I am professional, respectful, and will take care of your pet as if it were my own. I'm currently focusing on pet care and have flexible availability. I can attend to your furry companion mornings, afternoons, and evenings on both weekdays and weekends. I am meticulous about following instructions and will respect your home and pet as if it were my own. I have 4 years of professional experience as a veterinary assistant and over 2 decades as a pet owner.
About: I learned pet care from an early age from a dog loving family and then worked with the humane society and spent time with professional trainers. I am a retired school teacher with lots of free time! I love talking brisk, long walks with caninne companions and seeing mature up close. I live in a beautiful condo in Genesee. There is a ton of outdoor space and easy acces to trails. Great for dogs and humans.
“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’ve always been the reliable and trustworthy friend to call when a pet or house needed sitting! I have 7+ years of experience with all types of pets. I have also gained experience through the other companies I’ve had the opportunity to work for. Like Out U Go dog walking company here in the Denver Metro area. And I currently work for Mac’s Pack a dog daycare also here in Denver. I would love the opportunity to ensure your pet is like my own when in my care whether it’s excercise, feeding, or simply some love!
About: I’ve grown up with and have had 4 Great Danes throughout my life! I also regularly dog sit for a family friend, which includes an anxious dog with a specific diet, specific feeding times and medications! I’m currently working part time mornings, and will be available for overnight boarding at my home throughout the week! I provide a calm, homey environment and will plan my schedule around potty breaks, meals, and quality time. My boyfriend is the other occupant of our home! I live in an apartment complex with a park and trail directly across the street. My home is very quiet and calm, and I can be with them all day!
“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.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Golden is $20

Jared did an excellent job taking care of my cat Zoe. He's a great listener, very levelheaded, and followed my instructions perfectly. He's responsible, reliable, kept in great touch while I was away, and relieved me of any worries or concerns I had about Zoe's care. I highly recommend Jared to anyone needing exemplary pet sitting services.
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.
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Golden is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $12 and $31 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 13,337 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Golden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golden. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
