Ariel took this job at literally the last second for us and she did an amazing job with our fur babies. She was very communicative, kept our pup active, and took time to reassure us that the cat wouldn't get out! I will go to her first if I need someone to take care of our kiddos again. Thank you Ariel!

About: I’ve had cats and interacted with dogs my whole life. I have been house/pet sitting for friends and family since I was 12 and have cared for many different pet households. I have bathed and medicated multiple different dogs and cats and walked dozens of dogs. I’m currently available 24/7 for visits, dog walking, and house sitting. My schedule is very flexible and i’m willing to work odd hours if needed. I love meeting new animals and am always careful with nervous pets. I am great at following instructions and always respectful of pets and belongings.

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets throughout my life, including cats growing up and currently two dogs of my own. I’m very familiar with daily care routines such as feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and behavior monitoring. I enjoy being active with dogs through walks and play, whether that’s structured walks, backyard play, or just giving them attention and enrichment so they stay happy and stimulated. I understand that every pet has different energy levels and needs, and I adjust care accordingly. I’m also comfortable with basic pet care needs, including administering oral medications and supporting pets with special routines or recovery needs, as long as it falls within standard, non-veterinary care guidelines. I’m very detail-oriented and always follow instructions closely to make sure pets stay safe, comfortable, and on schedule. Overall, I’m confident with both dogs and cats of all temperaments and prioritize calm, consistent, and reliable care so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I already care for my doggos at home regularly so it is a natural part of my daily routine. I work mon- Thursday so I'm free friday- Sunday afternoon o care for your animals Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean environment with supervision and plenty of attention. I maintain a structured routine with feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also have two friendly dogs, so visiting pets will be in a real home setting with normal household activity, and I always make sure introductions and space are managed safely. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, and any special routines. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel secure and not disrupted while their owners are away. In both settings, I pay close attention to behavior and health changes and communicate updates so owners always know how their pets are doing.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life and grew up around them. I’m patient, caring, and attentive, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or extra attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and will always treat your pet like family. I’m currently a part-time medical assistant, so I have plenty of extra time outside of school and work to give pets the attention, care, walks, playtime, and companionship they deserve. I’m flexible, dependable, and able to accommodate different schedules and needs. I provide a safe, loving, and calm environment for every pet in my care. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and needs to make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic care, or giving extra attention and affection, I treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, patient, and committed to keeping pets happy and safe at all times.

We had to leave our boys for an extended period of time for the first time and we were very nervous about it. Anastasia took such good care of them and sent us some amazing pictures! We did not worry about them at all!!! They were so relaxed when we got home. We would definitely use Anastasia again to take care of Papi and Noodles!

About: I have experience working with dogs big and small. I walk, feed, and bathe my dog. I enjoy all animals though. As long as you give me all the instructions I’ll follow them. I’ll also give them affection and attention so they aren’t so lonely while you’re gone. I currently have a part time job but I’m looking for something to do that’s going to give me a little extra joy. I usually only work a couple hours a day. I’m interested in helping keep your animal happy and healthy taking them to potty or just for a walk so that they aren’t stuck in the house all day whatever is needed.

About: As an animal lover, I've grown up with cats, dogs, fish, and reptiles. I'm quiet and gentle with every pet I meet, and have an eye for detail and commitment to routine. I currently teach part-time at CMU on Mondays and Wednesdays from 1-6, and am available most mornings and evenings outside of that for any pet needs. I'm usually up around 6:30am for a walk, so early morning routines and dog walking are welcome. My 2 cats are spoiled but healthy and well behaved. They've got several bowls of water, and are fed 3 times a day, and have plenty of space to lounge, perch, and play - including a cat wheel for zoomies. I've got a crested gecko and 3 frogs as well, in bioactive terrariums with automated lights and misting systems for reliable humidity. In terms of treatment, I'm very gentle and want the best for every pet - a calm demeanor helps when trimming nails or giving meds, and playing with toys instead of hands builds safe habits. While I might be new to you and your pet's life, I'm great about maintaining routine and comfort so that I cause as minimal stress as possible.

About: I've been caring for animals for my whole life, I've always had pets, and have been a walker on apps for 6+ years. I'm always willing to sit, board or walk. I volunteer with a small nonprofit that provides service dogs to disabled veterans and hope I can positively impact you and your pets. I currently volunteer, and work part-time with flexibility, so I can frequently pick-up/drop-off or check-in on your pets. My home is pet friendly with two cats. I do currently serve in the Navy reserves, so I travel to Denver once a month for a couple days, but I always know my schedule ahead of time. I have two cats who are comfortable around dogs, live in a two bedroom apartment, with close access to a grassy area and some local parks.

About: I've always had cats and dogs in my life and cannot imagine life without them. Our pets are our family! Rest assured that your furry babies will receive the same care, attention, and compassion as my own do. I work full-time but have a fairly flexible schedule, and generally have evenings and weekends available to drop-in on your furry friends for some play-time and potty breaks. Friday-Sunday have my widest availability (all day), but with enough notice I can usually visit in the evenings. My number one rule is respect. Your pets and your home will receive my utmost respect during my visit, and I will leave everything how I found it when I arrived.

Robbie is a reliable and kind pet sitter. We were at a rental house and our dogs were anxious. So, Robbie stayed with them when we went to a concert and dinner. It was great peace of mind. He’s great with dogs and was super friendly and conscientious.

About: I am an avid animal lover with 13 years of experience under my belt! I’ve take care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and rabbits and loved every second of it and I would love to take care of your pets too. I make sure to treat every single animal like my own and as if they were a human baby which essentially they are! I have taken care of animals for family and friends as well as my own and I wish to become a sitter on rover to continue this while helping others out in this crazy world! As it’s summer I am available Monday-Wednesday for the entire day! I do work the rest of the week but I can fit sitting/walks in when needed/requested. I care for pets like they are my own and they are beautiful animals with emotions just like us and I treat them as such. With care, compassion, love, respect and I make sure to engage with them so they get their daily mental stimulation either through playing or puzzles!

About: I have help out my friends and family for many years with their pets. I have taken care of many puppies and kittens including my own. I am a college student at Colorado Mesa University. I am free to do drop-ins and walks aro my class schedule. During the summer I am free during the day time. I love playing with animals, my dogs like to play hide and seek so it really makes them work their brain as to where I am. I like to follow the route the owners have with the pet so it doesn't stress the animal out if possible.

About: I am a lifetime animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have pet-sit for friends and family for 15 years and have always been known to be someone they can trust to take care of their animals. I currently have a senior dog so I know the extra care that goes into taking care of older dogs, but he was high energy for most of his life so I am accustomed to keeping dogs active and mentally stimulated as needed to keep them happy. Rover is my full time job so my full attention will be taking care of your pup. Whatever their needs, I can meet them! I will typically schedule visits, walks, and playtime between the hours of 7am and 5pm but can adjust based on the needs of your pet. If they need to be let out right before bed, need medication at specific hours, or anything else, we can make it work! I will care for your pup just like they're my own, completely tailoring my visit to whatever makes them happiest; whether you have a high energy dog who loves endless belly rubs and playtime or they’re shy and just want a quiet buddy to sit with them. I also treat your home with total respect, keeping their exact feeding, walking, and house routines on track so they stay stress-free while you're away. If wanted, I will make sure to send regular pictures and updates so you can rest assured that your dog is being well cared for.

About: With over two decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and breeds, I have developed a deep understanding of their physical and emotional needs. My background as both a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Medical Assistant has provided me with a strong foundation in health monitoring, medication administration, and comfort care—skills I’ve been able to apply effectively in my work with animals. While my experience spans the full spectrum of canine care, I have frequently cared for senior dogs and those with health conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, and mobility issues. I’m confident in managing special diets, administering medications, and providing gentle, attentive support to improve their quality of life. Above all, I am driven by a lifelong passion for animals. I approach every pet with empathy, patience, and respect, treating them as family and ensuring they receive the attentive, loving care they deserve. Whether supporting a dog through recovery, providing daily care, or simply being a calming presence, my goal is always to enhance their well-being in every way possible. I currently work at a photography company during the week, which gives me evenings and weekends completely free. My schedule is also very flexible during the day, allowing me to step away as needed to provide bathroom breaks, walks, or check-ins for pets. This flexibility makes it easy for me to be available when needed and ensures reliable, consistent care. I’m naturally very affectionate and never shy about showing love and attention to pets—I enjoy bonding with them through cuddles, play, and gentle interaction. At the same time, I’m always mindful of each animal’s personality and boundaries. If a pet prefers space or needs time to warm up, I’m patient and respectful, letting them set the pace to feel safe and comfortable in my care.

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!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Grand Junction

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Grand Junction on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 260 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Grand Junction. 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 Grand Junction 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Grand Junction. On Rover:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 86% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
