“Sue was so amazing! She always made sure our kitties were happy and well-fed during her visits. She even brought toys from home for them to play with! She was so kind in giving us updates and sending us photos each day we were gone on our trip. I would 100% recommend her to others 😊”

“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!”
“Chelsea is AMAZING! She did a great job and allowed us to enjoy our trip without any worries. We would definitely recommend her and we will definitely use them again.”
“Daniella is amazing! Whenever I need someone to take care of my pup, she's the first person I look to. She's dependable, sweet, and accommodating. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter.”
“Kristen is always wonderful with Bindi! Bindi has a lot of issues, and Kristen has patiently helped her through. We trust her completely, and she’s also been extremely flexible with scheduling. I couldn’t recommend her more.”
“Jennifer did a great job taking care of our 2 dogs. We asked her last minute to watch our dogs for Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning and she was so accommodating with our needs! She gave me great feedback after her visits and was very sweet. She made sure to ask all the right questions before coming over to ensure she fully knew what she needed to do. We definitely will be using her in the future!”
About: My grandmother took in two strays a cat and a dog both of them had serious medical problems and were hostile or shy. I grew up pet sitting for her and learning how to deal with very hostile pets and timid pets. I learned how to deal with special needs animals and often took them to the vet. Your animals care is my top priority and I see animals as little humans who deserve the same care as humans do. I’m currently doing school from home so I have a very flexible schedule. I have very few commitments during the week that aren’t longer than an hour. I always make sure to keep a close eye on pets under my watch. I usually take them out on a trail once day and or a long walk. I also let them play in the yard but only when I’m outside supervising them. I feed them based off of the owners schedule but I like to keep them on a regular schedule.
“Christopher was such a great sitter for my cat! He was thoughtful, prompt, and caring. Christopher was super flexible with our needs as well. I will be booking Christopher again in the future.”
“Ashley did an excellent job taking care of our cat Lily while we were away for 4 days. She followed Lily's special feeding instructions perfectly, sent lots of pics, kept our place tidy, and made sure Lily was well-fed and well-loved. I would be happy to book with Ashley again!”
“Otelia was such a great Rover! I had such an easy experience. She is very communicative which helped alleviate any anxiety I felt about leaving my kitty. She even left me a handwritten note at the end!”
“AMAZING!! I was so grateful for Megan, she watched my two big doggies for a long weekend and took amazing care of them. I received multiple updates and she went above and beyond caring for them. My anxious pup usually struggles with eating and pooping and in her care had no issues whatsoever! I got photos and a lovely note at the end. Please book Megan if you want the best for your pets!”
About: I have been in the dog world for most of my life. I grew up with a champion English cocker spaniel and had a litter of puppies. I had to bathe and take care of the puppies as well as the dogs. I have been a dog groomer since 2010. I have worked at petco and have owned my own dog grooming business for since 2017. I hope to meet some cute dogs and help out some people who can’t be with the dogs during the day or while on vacation. If you need your dog to be groomed before you return then we can arrange that as well. I have a business but would like to help out when possible. I live in gunbarrel near boulder and can be made available if agreed upon. I live in a condo but we have amble trails to take long walks. If I come to your home I can do whatever is helpful within reason.
“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 dog sat for years before I got my first pup, now have two playful spaniels who love playmates! I do agility and sent work training with my dogs, happy to include yours in our games as well! I also love to get to go on hikes & runs with my dogs, as well as those that I pet sit for! I work full time from home every day but Wednesdays, my dogs usually get a long walk morning and evening, as well as playtime during lunch - they usually nap while I'm working in my home office! My younger dog also comes on runs with me a few times per week! I have a house with a dog door and fenced in yard, as well as two quite playful spaniels. Mine love fetch, so there's plenty of toys around to toss! I do crate them if I have to run out of the house, they seem to be most relaxed in the crate when I'm gone. I do keep a furbo camera on them when I'm out so I can check in on them remotely.
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.

Morgan went above and beyond taking care of our cat! She even came back one day when she didn’t see our cat during her regular check in. Our cat was incredibly happy to see us, but far less needy than when other sitters have taken care of her. We just booked Morgan again for our next trip :)
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
Anna is Stella’s new best friend!!! Anna is very sweet and flexible for our needs which was extremely reassuring while we were traveling. The weather was too cold for walks so she just came and hung out with Stella, gave her the supplements she needs, and was just there for Stella to do whatever Stella wanted to do, which was most likely play fetch inside or snuggle. We’ve already book Anna for our next trip out of town!!!
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!

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 .

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.
