“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 am experienced with raising big and small puppies from birth, and training. I am relied upon to take care of pets for friends and family. I currently am working part time and have lots of flexibility in my schedule to fit your pets needs. I can also work around any schedule. My home is fully security fenced.

About: Lifelong pet lover offering reliable sitting and walking services for all kinds of animals. Having raised dogs and cats since childhood, I know what it takes to keep your pets happy and safe. Let me provide the trustworthy care and peace of mind you and your pets deserve! Flexible Schedule: I work part-time, giving me wide-open availability. Mid-Day Walks: Perfect for pups who need a break while you are at work. Extra Playtime: Plenty of hours dedicated to keeping your pets active and happy. I generally like to work at or out of the pup's home; this way, there are fewer new factors to overwhelm your dog. How I care for a pet depends on their personality and needs.

About: Hello! My name is Jacob and I’ve been surrounded by animals of all kinds for my whole life, and have always loved their company. I will strive to provide the best possible care for your pets and treat them as if they were my own. I’m here for their needs, whether it’s to wear out a young active pup or take a casual stroll around the block letting your senior dog stop as they need to. I’ve always had a lot of flexibility in my schedule and have enjoyed pet sitting as a side job for many years. I’m currently working part time in the early mornings so I have tons of time during the day to help care for your pets. If you need me to stay with your pets I’m usually only gone for a 3.5 hour shift so they won’t be left alone for very long! I will have your pets safety and comfort always in mind and make sure they have what they need to stay happy until you return.
“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.”
“Asylan checked in on my cat over the course of almost 2 weeks. She sent daily updates and pictures and I knew my cat was well taken care of. Would definitely book again. Thank you, Asylan!”
About: I can't remember ever being without a dog or cat! Caring for, running, walking, hiking and sitting for all pets has always been my passion. I'm available anytime after 7 am to visit with, walk, hike or run your pet. I'm also available to just sit with and snuggle your pet anytime.

About: I’m a passionate and dependable pet sitter with 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m active, attentive, and love keeping pets happy and entertained—whether that means going on walks, runs, playing, giving plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they receive the attention, care, and love they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! I offer flexible pet-sitting services for dogs, cats, and other animals such as birds, turtles, and small pets. While dogs and cats are my main focus, I’m happy to care for a variety of animals and follow their individual routines and needs. My schedule is especially open right now, with availability Monday through Sunday, at any time of day or night, depending on your needs. Whether you need a quick check-in, walks, feeding, playtime, overnight care, or someone to stay with your pets while you’re away, I’m very flexible and willing to work around your schedule. My goal is to make pet care convenient, dependable, and stress-free for both you and your pets. With 10 years of experience caring for pets, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I provide attentive, loving care by following feeding schedules, keeping fresh water available, maintaining clean litter areas or living spaces, providing walks and exercise, and making plenty of time for play and companionship. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being so I can recognize when something may not be right. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away.

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!

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!

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 .
