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.
“We greatly appreciated Robin's attentive care of our two cats, one of which can be quite a handful. She made sure both of them got the love and attention they needed, for a first-time and fairly last minute booking. We could not be more grateful for her flexibility!”
“Eleshia did a great job watching over my cat for the weekend! Good communication throughout and even brought in some packages for me! We’ll definitely use her again”
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: 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.
“I’m so appreciative of Annabelle! She was happy to help when I needed a last minute sitter for my cats over the holidays and provided great communication throughout the whole process. It was such a relief to know the kitties were under such great care! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10, I have watched all sorts of dogs, from family to friends to coworkers, and neighbors even:) I’m currently working for a second job but I always make sure that my animal care come first, I try to reason with my clients if change happens. I always try to make sure my dogs and cats stay occupied with toys and treats and walks making sure that they are always fed 2 time a day
“Kasse is always on time with giving all the love to my furry alligator. She is very professional, while still having fun with a job that should be fun. Second time using her services and will be returning”
“Katie was great for our very shy boy. She made friends with him in only a day! She left great details and I felt very relaxed knowing he was well cared for.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. From energetic puppies and senior dogs to shy cats and everything in between, I’ve developed a calm, intuitive approach that helps pets feel safe and loved in their own environment. I also take great pride in keeping homes clean, secure, and peaceful while you’re away, and I always provide updates so you never have to wonder how your pets are doing. Your animals (and your home!) are in good hands with me. I work two part time jobs. Sometimes I work doubles but usually have an hour break so that I can check on pets. I am happy to stay at your house if that makes you feel more comfortable. I always match the energy and needs of the pets I care for, whether they’re in the mood to play, need time to adjust, or just want a quiet treat. I also make sure to follow all care instructions and routines set by the owner to keep pets happy and stress-free.
“Cecily did great with Binx! It was the longest I’ve ever been away from the little guy, and she sat and played with him to keep him company while I was away. Highly recommended her to watch your fur babies!”
“Nick was great - although our kitties didn't want to come out to play while he was caring for them, he certainly tried every trick to get them to play! He was very friendly and communicative.”
About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.
About: Hello! I have owned animals my entire life, and I absolutely adore them! I love animals, and spend as much time with them as possible! About this sitter: I have watched pets for coworkers and friends for as long as I can remember. I am reliable, experienced, and passionate. I will love your animals as if they were my own! 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. I work during the week from 8-5, as well as a second job occasionally on the weekends in 4 or 5 bour shifts. I care for pets with the love and kindness they deserve. I will always respect your space and your belongings. I have a calm demeanor that animals respond well to.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Junction
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!
Catherine took wonderful care of our Fifi cat and I super appreciated all the photos and updates. Fifi normally does not like strangers but he was open and comfortable with Catherine right away! That in itself made me feel like he would actually enjoy his visits and I worried about him less while I was away.
Melanie was everything I could hope for in a pet sitter! She was timely and followed all instructions, but more than that, her descriptions of the visits showed how much she paid attention to each of my pets and what they needed, like extra snuggles. It was also super easy to communicate with her, and she passed along anything we might need to know while we were gone. I will definitely book her again!
Aaron did a great job with my shy cat. He went out of his way to make him comfortable. For example, he brought some different toys than I had, and left a sweater so my cat could get used to his scent. He took care of the basics very well too. I highly recommend Aaron and plan to use him again.

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.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
