“Nicholas was awesome! He did in-home visits and walks for our dogs while we were away. He was great with our anxious doggos and everything went smoothly. Thank you, Nicholas!”

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.

I have owned dogs, birds, fish, horses, and more! Why I love dog sitting I've been around dogs my entire life, and I adore them! Big, small, they are all adorable. Animals are extremely therapeutic, and they are such good friends. My experience administering medication Not comfortable I work full time so I can care for pets outside of my regular work schedule.

About: Hi there! I’m a college freshman studying nursing, and while I can’t host pets in my dorm, I’d love to put my passion for caregiving and lifelong love for animals into looking after your pup. As a nursing major, I bring responsibility, patience, and strong attention to detail to every visit. Caring for others is what I’m best at — whether that’s people or pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, including an energetic Australian Shepherd mix and a sweet Wheaten Terrier–Poodle mix. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all energy levels, sizes, personalities, and quirks. Shy dogs, high‑energy pups, seniors, and everything in between — I meet them where they’re at. What I Offer 30‑Minute Dog Walks: A refreshing walk around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup exercise, stimulation, and a happy break in their day. 30‑Minute Drop‑Ins: Perfect for potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pup will always receive safe, attentive, and loving care, and you’ll get reliable communication and updates every step of the way. I’d be honored to care for your dog and help make your life a little easier. As a full‑time college student, I prioritize my classes and coursework, but I have plenty of availability in between classes and during afternoons. I’m typically free on weekdays after 11 am, with additional openings throughout the day depending on my class schedule. I’m also available on some weekends for walks or drop‑ins. My routine is flexible, and I make sure pet care fits smoothly around my school commitments, so your pup always receives dependable attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. I follow your instructions closely, keep environments clean, ensure fresh water, and maintain secure entryways. I approach every visit with the same responsibility and attention to detail I bring to my nursing studies, giving your pet calm, dependable care.
“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!”
“Angels was great with Coco, our dog and Reese’s and Dancer, our cats. Coco is anxious with new people, and Angela won her over. It was great using Rover and now we know that we can plan trips without worrying about who will watch our pets. Thank you Angela and River!”
About: I have had pets of all sorts my entire life. My earliest memories are of helping my parents care for and train each litter of our Siberian husky puppies before they go to they're forever homes. I am currently a stay at home mom to my 3yr old son and 1yr old daughter. We just bought a 1200sqft house in OM with a privacy fenced yard and doggy door. You're pet will have the freedom to go in and out as they please . If I go anywhere between 8 am- 5pm Mon-Fri I have to take my kids with otherwise I'm free. You can also find pictures and videos on my Facebook page Victoria's Bark-tastic Doggy Daycare! I have a roughly 12 year old miniature schnauzer that wasn't the most sociable guy when I met him about 7 years ago. Since then I have been taking him out to new places and to meet other dogs. He has two Great Dane friends he plays with well. Mostly him bouncing off of them and having them chase him. He also likes to lay flat in the grass and wait for them to get close then pounce at them to get them to chase him. He couldn't care less about toys but loves a good quality treat. I can bring him along upon request! My kids absolutely love dogs and are always gentle and respectful. My son loves to throw toys for them and give them treats. He even makes our dog sit before giving him a treat. He also gets to play with the Danes! He loves going around and finding a good stick to give them to chew on. My daughter absolutely loves to give nice pets ( with supervision) and loves to watch them play. I have to bring them with me before 4pm. So if you're looking to provide your dog with some new social situations I'm your gal! I do have to ask that you request care atleast a few days before drop off that way we can do a meet and greet to make sure there will be no issues during your pets stay. I also live down a shared driveway please park somewhere on the street and i will meet you down there. I am up every day between 6-7 am to start the days chores before the sun gets to high. We've got a lawn, two flower beds and a veggies garden to care for. Afterwards I get the kiddos ready for school. Once they've been dropped off my senior dog and I go on our morning nieborhood walk through the park and back. We would love for your pup to join us! As a SAHM i have free time all the way up until 3:30 for school pick up. Each pup is an individual with thier own quirks. Therefore care is modified per each pets needs. For example I would take a 3 year old hound on a much longer sniffy walk than I would a 10 year old lab. Being in Colorado i also account for weather and can modify the days activities if outside is not an option.
“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 taken care of my pets since I was young, so about 12 years old. I’ve had dogs and cats, and currently have two cats and one dog, she’s a chocolate lab-pit mix that we rescued off the street. I’ve also pet-sitted for my friends and family whenever they needed and was able to take them on regular walks and check ins. I’m currently a college student so I’ll have plenty of time to take your pets on walks or just simply check in if needed! I live in a dorm, so I am unable to keep pets with me but I would be more than happy to swing by or stay if needed! At my home back in Arkansas, we had a fence with a natural backyard so our dogs were able to play outside whenever they wanted.
About: All-Around Animal Lover! From cats and dogs to fluffy rabbits, I’ve cared for them all. I’m happy to help with long walks, nail trims, tidy bathroom cleanups, and even medication routines. Your sweet pets will get tons of love, care, and quality attention every single visit! I'm currently available during the weekdays and love taking new furry friends on walks, runs and play days in the park. Willing to do weekly walks as will as random requests day to day. When it comes to walking, I always like to pick safe trails and paths. Days at the park are always dog and furry friends' friendly areas.
“Melanie was absolutely amazing with my shy boy!💙 She gave us great updates and wonderful peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing a great cat sitter!”
About: I spent two years as the assistant manager at Your Best Friends Boarding Kennel, followed by another two years working as an animal behaviorist at Roice-Hurst Humane Society. I recently stepped away to start my own dog treat company, and I’m excited to continue doing what I love while growing my business. During my time as an animal behaviorist, I became a Dunbar-certified dog trainer and earned certifications in basic animal medical care and neonatal care. I’m also certified in canine CPR. I’m comfortable administering medication, working with nervous or behaviorally challenging dogs, and caring for pups who need a little extra patience and understanding. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, anxious, or has special needs, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Im currently working fulltime on my dog treat company (Pariah Dogs! Find us in Chowdown if youre looking for some incredible dog treats.) I have a very flexible schedule because of this, I don't do overnight stays but Im flexible for check ins, walks and training sessions. I’m a positive-reinforcement dog trainer, and my priority is making sure your four-legged family member feels safe, happy, and loved. I tailor my care to each dog’s individual personality, needs, and comfort level. Whether that means sticking to their routine, providing enrichment and exercise, or giving a nervous pup extra patience, I’m here for the dogs. Their well-being always comes first!
“Whitney was great! She came and met our cat and got oriented to our home ahead of the scheduled visits. Whitney took great care of our cat and provided pictures and updates at each visit. It is nice knowing that our pet is in good hands when we are away from home.”
About: I’ve always had a pet of my own until early 2026 when my senior dog had passed, however I do have a history of working at a veterinary hospital. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to details. My goal is not only to care for pets while their owners are away, but to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and treated like family. I’m currently working part-time and looking for the opportunity to still stay active and enjoy my free time. I have a very open schedule and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions and making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are away. The safety and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I believe trust is built through reliability, communication, and treating each pet with patience and respect. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, and keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I have cared for my own pets for decades. I have sat with dogs from puppies to seniors. I love to calm their nerves and give them tactile care. I am currently retired and this has been goal for years to spend these years caring for others loved ones (pet) so they can travel. I lost my beloved Willis in June and decided to care for others pets to bring some joy I will be caring for pets in their own environment and will follow the owners instructions as to their care and safety. Any special needs will be followed per the owners instructions. My Willis was blind and diabetic for the last five years of his life.

Pet 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Grand Junction is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 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 277 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
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.
