About: I have taken care of pups and pets my whole life. I have always had more than one pet in the house at all times. I have taken care of neighbors, friends, loved ones pets. From lizards to chinchillas and all the dogs in between! I can walk, hike, bathe, feed, and cuddle pets whenever needed. I am pretty active and like to get out with the dogs everyday, whether that's for a hike or walk around the block, they need leg stretchers just like I do! It is second nature to take care of a pet. Their needs are always satisfied before mine. Happy pet, happy life! I am a working professional hoping to keep up my mental health while helping the local community members with their busy lives as well! I am available to take your pup on the weekends and likely take them on my adventure to the mountains too and during the work week, I can take them on walks after work or make sure they get some loving for overnight stays. I have a fenced yard. I am always sure to check for anything pets can get into. I am always hyper aware of pets to make sure they don't themselves in trouble.
“Shelby took great care of our cat who needs some extra attention, including daily medication and has a bit of separation anxiety. We appreciated the photos she sent and comments about how he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend Shelby and look forward to booking her again in the future.”
About: I grew up with pets and my mom had a petsitting business we operated out of our home. I helped with that and also worked at a doggy daycare. I'm currently self-employed part-time and can't think of a better way to spend my time than with your fur family while you're away. Available every day of the week and can stay in your home or just stop by a couple times per day! When house/pet sitting, I make sure your pets are played with, snuggled, and fed according to your pet's routine. The important thing I want is to make sure they are safe and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. And I will clean up after myself before the client returns home.
About: I've been taking care of pets for most of my life. I worked at a doggie daycare & boarding business for a couple of years. I'm now going out on my own and would love to take care of your fur babies while you're out. I've been around all breeds and sizes and understand their many different traits and personalities. I love playtime and walking. It is as much fun for me as it is for them. I've administered meds and worked specifically with dogs that needed specialized medical attention. Communication is important to me, as it is to you, so please let me know what you expect. No detail is too small. I can provide updates and photos if you request it; otherwise, I will not take up any of your time while you're away unless a concern arises. I love snuggles and look forward to making your fur babies feel as comfortable and happy as possible. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life! I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping a good routine. I love being around animals and easily fit pet care into my day. I try to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I follow instructions carefully, give lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also send updates so owners know their pets are doing great!
“Camryn was great with our older cat, who seemed to love her. Our cat rarely comes out to visit new folks, but warmed up to Camryn right away! We really appreciated her updates and that she look such good care of our kitty! We will definitely reach out to Camryn again!”
“Candace offered to meet ahead of time to get all the details. I felt very comfortable with her and was happy it was a good fit. She seemed to have hit it off with my kitty because she was sitting in Candace’s lap in a few of the photos. Everything went smoothly and I’ll rebook with candace when the need arises.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Junction
Debra was able to react quickly to an emergency situation when our dog sitter bailed when we were already out of town. She was extremely patient and caring towards our puppy who is still getting used to strangers. We would highly recommend Debra. Her communication was great and she was great with our pup.
I can’t express enough how great Annabelle is! I work 12 hr night shifts and she graciously accepted to let my pup out at a late time to help me out. She is punctual and goes above and beyond for my dog! She treats her as if she is her own. I didn’t even ask her but when my grass was wet she wiped her paws before coming in. I highly recommend Annabelle to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Grand Junction is $18 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 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 272 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Grand Junction. 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.
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 Grand Junction 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 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.
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 Grand Junction with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
