Lacie did a great job! I like how she took multiple pictures and wrote a thorough report of our pet each day. Will definitely book with her again.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. For the last 15 years, I’ve owned very high energy hunting dogs, and love being able to take them on long walks, hiking in the mountains, or just play ball in the back yard. I’ll help with any kind of training/socialization a puppy or dog might need, you just have to let me know if there are behaviors you need help working on. I’m happy to drop in to check on dogs and cats of any size. If I can help out by taking a pup for a wash or anything extra like that, just ask. Willing to help transport, can come feed and medicate, as well as hang out and play for a while. I do have my own pups, and so I cannot do overnight stays at this time. Weekdays, I am only available after 6pm! I just moved back to the Grand Junction area and am working at settling into life back in the valley. I’d love to help you out with your animals! My pups are my family, they go every where with me (unless it’s to someone else’s house, of course). They get daily off leash runs in the north desert or at the family farm in Fruita. I’m not offering boarding at this time because of my own pups and lack of space.

Stacy always does an excellent job with Lacy. She even got Lacy to wear her backpack vest, which I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to get her to wear for over a year. I'll have to figure out what bribe she uses. Thanks Stacy!

About: I have been around pets my whole life. I understand wanting your pet to feel safe and happy while you're away. I appreciate written instructions and will follow them precisely! I am a college student so I can drop by in between classes as you need me to. I also own a little fur baby of my own and will love yours just as much. I will make sure they don't feel too anxious, clean up as needed, have plenty of food, cuddles, and affection while you're away from them.

About: I’ve been an animal lover all my life. I’ve been providing personal pet care for the past two years. I get along with dogs of all ages and breeds. I can keep up with any energy level your fur baby has.

I will follow and maintain daily medication and feeding schedules of any complexity. I will follow all instructions given to ensure your furry friend gets the care they need. I just need to know what they can and can’t do and will make sure they are on their best behavior while I care for them.

About: Hi there! I'm Nicole and animals have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve grown up surrounded by all kinds of pets—large and small dogs, cats, horses, chickens, guinea pigs—you name it! I know every animal has their own personality and needs, and I treat every pet like they’re part of the family. I’ve also provided in-depth medical care for my own senior dog, so I’m comfortable administering medications, handling special diets, and giving pets the extra attention they may need during recovery or as they age. Whether it's a high-energy puppy, a shy rescue cat, or a quirky flock of chickens, I’m here to help them feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. Let me know how I can support your pets—I’d love to meet them! I currently work just 4 days a week, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets! I'm available: Evenings on weekdays (perfect for after-work walks, dinner visits, or check-ins) Full availability on my days off (including mornings, afternoons, and evenings) Weekends — flexible and open for pet sitting, drop-ins, or extended care Whether you need a quick visit, regular walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets are well cared for and loved. Every pet is unique, and I always tailor my care based on their individual needs, routines, and personalities. Whether I’m watching pets in your home or welcoming them into mine, their comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. In your home:
 When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible. That includes feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special instructions you provide—medications, favorite toys, calming techniques, etc. I make sure to keep the space tidy and give plenty of updates so you know your pets are in good hands. In my home:
 If your pet is staying with me, they’ll have a calm, pet-friendly environment where they’re treated like family. I make sure they have a cozy space to relax, lots of attention and affection, and safe play areas. I only accept pets who are a good fit for the environment, and I always do a meet-and-greet first to make sure everyone feels comfortable. My goal is to give your pets a stress-free, loving experience while you're away—and give you peace of mind, too.

About: As a career animal welfare professional, I'm ready to bring my decades of experience in animal care, veterinary care and animal handling to you and your home to ensure you have total peace of mind and your pets are cared for and safe while you're away. My entire professional career has been in the animal welfare field. I've worked as a cruelty investigator in both major metropolitan as well as rural agricultural regions. I've worked on farm animal sanctuaries as well as in city shelters. I'm still very involved in animal rescue through disaster response as well as large scale animal cruelty case deployments. Currently, I work for/co-founded an organization which provides low-cost veterinary care services to underserved areas in the region. As someone who utilizes Rover heavily for pet sitting services while traveling for work, I know just how important it is to have a service like this available as well as what a trusting, reliable sitter can do for peace of mind while out of town and away from you pets. I currently work from home (when not traveling for work) which allows me to devote full days to pet care while sitting nearby in my home office. I have a large, fully fenced yard. Your dogs will be able to spend as much, or as little, time outside as they desire. I have two resident dogs who are very welcoming of all four-legged (and two-legged) visitors and will be more than happy to share all their favorite toys and most comfortable spots on the couch.

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 June 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 June 2026, there are 248 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:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% 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.

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.
