“Things were taken care of exactly as expected and requested. 5***** . If the need arises again, I will definitely be using again, no problem. If my cat will let him pet her then that's as good a vote as I'm going to get from them. Pretty sure they approved too.”
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.
“Heather is so sweet and reliable. Even with bad weather she made sure Dani was taken care of. Also went above by bringing in all our deliveries. Would most definitely use her services again.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, administering basic medications, and providing attentive, loving care to keep pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I’ll be working a full-time internship during the summer since I’m a college student (typically early morning to mid-afternoon), which allows me to be available before work, in the evenings, and on weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine through morning walks/feeding, evening walks, playtime, and consistent check-ins. I’m committed to maintaining a dependable schedule and making sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care every day. I prioritize a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I carefully follow all owner instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything tidy while ensuring pets feel secure and relaxed. I’m attentive during walks, use secure leashing, and monitor behavior to prevent any risks. My goal is to provide consistent, trustworthy care so both pets and owners feel completely at ease.
“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.”
“Ginna was a life saver agreeing to come over same day and visit my stinky man while myself and my roommate were away. They were very professional, and I loved the pictures they took of my sweet boy!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for pets of all kinds, having dogsitting/housesitting experience since high school. I bring enthusiasm, energy, hospitality, and respect. I enter dogsitting jobs prioritizing your rules, your boundaries, with the understanding that I serve and support your family. I’m just out of school on the job search so I have plenty of time and energy to care for and play with your pets. I have lots of flexibility and openness in my schedule. I ensure to thoughtfully check on your pets, respecting your wishes and instructions to keep them on necessary routines while maintaining good habits. I am adaptable, detailed, and mindful.
About: Hi! I'm a third-year engineering student at Colorado School of Mines with a lifelong love for animals and experience caring for a wide variety of pets. I am responsible, dependable, and committed to providing excellent care for every pet I meet. My experience includes caring for family pets and helping friends and relatives with their animals while they travel. I've worked with dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs, and I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and personalities. As an active person, I genuinely enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping pets engaged and happy. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or simply someone reliable to care for them while you're away, I will treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I am also willing to commute between your location and school, making it easier to provide flexible and dependable care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members. As an engineering student, I structure my schedule carefully — and pet care fits naturally into that. I plan walks, feeding times, and check-ins around my classes so that every pet I'm responsible for gets consistent, reliable attention. Being active is already part of my day, so incorporating playtime and exercise for pets is something I genuinely look forward to rather than work around. I'm also flexible enough to adjust my availability based on what each pet needs. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my client's home or my own, my priority is keeping their routine as normal as possible; familiar environments, consistent feeding schedules, and the same level of attention they're used to. I take time to learn each pet's personality, habits, and any special needs before I start. I've worked with dogs, cats, birds, and guinea pigs, so I'm comfortable adapting my approach to different animals. I treat every home I enter with respect and keep owners updated with communication and photos so they can feel at ease while they're away.
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.
“Bryce was awesome. I left out of town for 2 days, he dropped in to check on my pup a few times a day and he was so respectful and kind to my pup. My pup loved going on walks with him. He was very responsive and followed directions very carefully.”
“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!”
“Mishel goes above and beyond in her communication which is so nice, especially when you are new to this! She asked for lots of details and instructions and was so sweet with my pup. Thank you Mishel!!”
“Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!”
About: Hello! I'm 31 and I live with my fiance and our sweet lazy lab-mix Hamish in Golden. I have a full-time job but love to watch pups in my spare time. We'd be happy to take in dogs that would be good friends for Hamish, meaning dogs that either play well with others or that normally ignore other dogs. While Hamish gets along well with almost everyone, he does not love super high-energy puppies who try to pounce on his head or dogs who might bark or lunge at him. I am occasionally available for house sitting! I can watch your pup and take them on long walks, or just let them outside if they're lazy. gI am occasionally available for house sitting!

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 for Pet Sitting in Golden on Rover is $20 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 13,397 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Golden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
