“Excellent service and communication! The pup and the house were well taken care of and I returned to a very happy puppy and got to enjoy some very fun pics while I was on my trip! Will certainly be booking again! Thank you so much!”
“Tigran has been awesome checking in on and walking my 85 pound sheepadoodle Larry, who can be both reactive and hyperactive. Tigran is calm, reliable, flexible, in control and eased my mind by taking such great care of him.”
About: I grew up with animals so have no fear, I’m not afraid of your Great Dane, your little Chihuahua, or your grumpy cat. I like to treat every pet like a member of the family so lots of encouragement and love in every walk ❤️ I’m a farmer so I’m very used to working with all kinds of animals and love to do it! Think of me especially when planning weekend trips and holiday excursions! I’m up for enforcing whatever rules you keep in your home. No need to worry about lost progress with training, I’m completely comfortable working with your pet in whatever stage of life they are!
“Our cats were well taken care of and house was as tidy as we left it. We didn't have good cell reception but appreciated seeing the checkins when we did eventually get reception. Thank you Mary.”
“Addisen was a fantastic pet sitter for my little girl! She provided excellent communication throughout the stay and sent wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind and made my day. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely hire Addisen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.”
About: I've raised and trained my 8-year old Aussie, Bernie since he was a little guy. He's a very sweet and loving boy. For as long as I can remember, I've loved dogs. I decided to sign up for Rover to be around them more.🐕🤗 Over the years, I've watched dogs for friends and love to run with them in the park. I promise to help train them, engage them in physical play and teach them how to be a good running partner. I love running and trail running almost as much as I love our furry friends. If your looking for someone to help get your dog in physical shape and to teach them the ways of the park, I'm your guy! 🐕🏃 I currently work from home and run a small Turo business on the side. This allows me to be home most hours of the day. I spend a lot of time with my pup and plan to do the same with yours! My dog, Bernie, is a very good protector of the house and loves other dogs. When at dog parks, he plays sheriff and tends to break up fights, especially when the little guys get picked on. I'm not sure where he picked up this job but he takes it very seriously. 🚓 In addition, he'll keep your dog company whenever I'm not able to be home. In general, I take the safety of our furry friends very seriously and so does Bernie! 🤗

“Probably the best cat sitter we’ve ever had, she took such good care of them and you can really tell. They were so much calmer than they normally are when we come back from vacation! Took so many pictures/videos too which we really appreciated”
About: I have loved taking care of pets since I was a child. I have pet sat for cats and dogs and it is always so much fun being around some sweet animals. My dog at home LOVES other dogs but at this time it would not be wise to get her a brother or sister because she has a human brother who is 8 months old! So, I have decided to start caring for other people’s pets because I don’t have to pay for other people’s pets vet bills 😅 If your dog is friendly and can be around the family.. GREAT if not, you can book something at your house and I am always open to drop ins. We can always make it work! I am currently working VERY part time and someone is home all day every day of the week. I have a wonderful partner and we have a baby and are trying to make some extra cash by opening our home to some pups that need some attention/a place to call home until their owners get back. At my home I live with my partner, my dog and my infant son so any friendly and well trained dogs are welcome to stay with us! At your home on certain days I CAN come to do drop ins but at least my son will need to tag along if it is more than just a morning and evening visit.
About: I volunteered at the humane society for 2 years and regularly house sit for a family with a farm. I enjoy caring for animals, especially dogs! ***DAY OCCUPATION WORK SCHEDULE 7:45am-4:15pm M-F*** Beginning July 2025, I only service the areas of Boulder, Niwot, Gunbarrel and Hygiene. I am available for overnights and weekends! Midday check-ins are available for North Boulder clients. If not in North Boulder, booking with me is reasonable if dogs have outdoor access throughout the day. I treat other people’s pets with the utmost care that I treat my own. Dogs will get at least 1 walk per day with playtime, also will bathe if needed. Close attention will be paid to food, watering and medication needs as well.
“Joanie was just wonderful with our dog, Arlow. She was attentive and responsible and really earned both Arlows and our trust. She is so sweet and reliable and we can’t wait to have her back as our sitter! I really felt like i could sit back and enjoy our vacation knowing Joanie was taking care of our puppers. 🖤 10/10”
“Rachael is amazing- she is prompt, courteous, communicative, knoweldgable and so sweet with our 11 week old Chocolate Lab. She has taken wonderful care of her, helped her adjust to her crate with lots of extra help that she went out of her way to do. We trust her in our home and would 100% recommend and will use her again. Thank you so much, Rachael :) - Charlie & The Gibbs”
About: I have 10 years experience working with dogs. I tailor my care to your pet's specific needs and likes, creating an environment that feels safe and comfortable while you are away. I am available Monday through Friday and weekends upon request. I live in the West Gunbarrel area and serve Gunbarrel and Boulder. I love working with Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ folxs. I pay close attention when leashing dogs for walks, making sure they are comfortable before going out with them. I have treats on hand and provide structured playtime.
About: Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Because I grew up in a home surrounded by both big and small breeds, adjusting to different dog personalities is second nature to me. I know exactly how to switch gears from playing fetch with an energetic 80-pound pup to gently cuddling a 5-pound lap dog. I understand that a dog's size often changes how they see the world, and I tailor my approach to make sure they always feel safe, respected, and loved. I treat every animal with the same love and affection i give my own animals. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies! As a dedicated pet care provider, I structure my weekdays entirely around the needs of your pets. Available Monday through Friday, I seamlessly integrate walks, check-ins, and daily sitting into my routine to ensure your dog never misses a beat while you are at work! When I stay at your home, your pet’s routine stays exactly the same. Because I grew up with dogs of all shapes and sizes, I am highly adaptable. I will strictly follow your feeding schedules, walk routes, and potty breaks so your pup feels safe and secure. I treat your home with the utmost respect-keeping things clean, locking up carefully, and ensuring your furry family member gets all the love, belly rubs, and attention they are used to while you are away.
“We were so happy and impressed with Kelsi. Kelsi did daily drop in visits for our cat, Saya, for 6 days over Christmas. Saya looked happy and healthy upon our return and we couldn't be happier with having booked with Kelsi. Kelsi also kindly brought up all of our packages while we were away and responded promptly and professionally to all of our questions and requests.”
“Tori was super flexible and did a great job with our two shepherds when we had some travel plans change during the holidays. She was very communicative and we will definitely use her for future trips.”
“Had a great experience with Crystal! She is a cat whisperer! We have a very finicky cat that just started on Prozac and Crystal was able to successfully give him his pill each day. She really remembered everything I told her about our pets, and took the time to update me each day on how each pet was doing. We are very excited to have crystal take care of our pets again in the future!”

Samantha did an excellent job with my two cats while I was away. She spent a good amount of time playing with them, promptly updated me on any kitty problems that arose, and sent plenty of well taken photos to keep me in the loop. It was very reassuring knowing that my cats were being well taken care of, and the notes left were very insightful. I would most definitely book again! Thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gunbarrel is $23 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $37 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 October 2026, there are 12,789 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gunbarrel. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
