About: Hi! I'm Madeline - aka friend to many dogs. Way back in college, I adopted the free shelter dog - so I'm very skilled in handling pups who may be a little special/quirky/super silly. Like many, I grew up with dogs of many different sizes + personalities. I can proudly say... I've always been the go-to pet sitter for friends/family :) And with that, I extend the same kindness and care to your pups while you are away. I'm a freelancer web developer - so my schedule is very flexible. Reach out with any times, last minute booking requests, misc tasks - I can likely be available! Depending on you & your dogs preference, we can do a range of activities. From a trail run/hike - to a mellow stroll listening to the birds - to playing in your backyard with stuffies. You just let me know what you think is best, I'm very adaptable! I'm open to boarding small/med size dogs at my home or yours on a case by case basis! Or late evenings + early mornings, if your dog can be left alone at night. I'd prefer to get to know your dog/s through walks then happy to discuss :) I'm available most days & most times! As a freelancer, I can work around your preferred times for dog walking and drop ins. If you need to leave your dog overnight - I can attend to your dogs late in the evening for bedtime & come back early in the morning. I'm very good at reading dog body language, and do my best to make them feel comfortable. My life revolves around my dog, and I provide the same exact kindness and care to yours!
About: Hello! My name is Sav and I loveee animals. Im still getting to know the town of Durango while I’m in school for wildlife biology so I'm trying to make some extra money. I was a dog walker for my previous client for 2 years and 5 days a week and I have many references. I also have experience in housesitting, dog sitting, raising puppies etc. I have a beautiful dog named Fera who is amazing with kids, babies, cats, and everything except squirrels. I look forward to meeting your family with paws!!🫶🐾🐾 I’m currently in school, so my schedule is everywhere and very open. Text me and we can work out what’s best for you and me! I have 7 acres of land in the back of my apartments that is basically a fenced dog park with a pond. My place is extremely pet friendly and far from busy roads. :)
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets by providing daily feeding, fresh water, and maintaining clean living spaces. I regularly walked dogs, ensured they received enough exercise, and monitored their behavior to notice any changes in health or mood. I also helped with basic grooming tasks such as brushing fur and bathing, which kept pets comfortable and healthy. Through this experience, I developed patience, responsibility, and a strong understanding of how to meet the physical and emotional needs of animals. Pet care would fit well into my schedule because I can plan feeding, walks, and check-ins around my daily responsibilities. I’m able to manage my time effectively, making sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and exercise while still keeping up with my other commitments. I make sure I give them a reasonable time to relax and make sure they are let outside and have access to anything they need. I would also give walks based on the animals needs.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I have always loved animals and my freinds, neighbors, and family always ask me to care for their furry loved ones! I’m currently working only a couple shifts a month at my other job, so I can be reliable and flexible with many different schedules to fit your needs! In my clients home I will be sure the pets have the food/water their owners desire, and I would love to play and run the energy out of your pets during the day while your at work!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, so becoming a dog and cat sitter was a given. From senior snoozers to zoomy puppies, from ‘don’t touch me’ cats to ‘please love me immediately’ cats, I’ve handled it all and loved every second. I have grown up with a cat and 4 dogs and I am familiar with the young stages and the senior years of a pets life. I’m currently in school at Fort Lewis. I have a few classes scattered throughout the day. My busiest day right now will be Tuesdays with back to back classes from 8-2:30. If watching pets in your home, I will ask for a list of expectations (feed times, concerns) so I can do the best job. I will be diligent about updating you, sending photos, and asking questions if they arise.
About: I have been enjoying dogs in many ways ,like mountain bike , hike, ski and whatever a dog wants to do with me, I want to be doing with them. I have been a dog sled musher around over 100 dogs at a day of work. I have also been a pet sitter for 4 years, watching and enjoying many different animals. I am studying natural Resource Management right now to also try to help our wildlife and nature survive,strong and as long as possible. I have had 6 dogs at one time, 2 were rescued sled dogs, since I have had different big dogs husky, malamute, there all fun though. Currently I have 3 huskies different sizes and they are rescued and very friendly.
About: I went to school originally for animal science and veterinary technology. I worked in veterinary ERs, general practice, shelters for 6 years out of school. While I have hung up my hat as a vet tech officially in 2009 after I found a passion for a career in nonprofit and outdoor education, I still maintained several dog/cat sitting clients in Telluride where I lived over the course of fifteen years on the side of my full time program director position for a busy summer camp. Now in my 40s I work from home or remotely, for the last six years, as a nonprofit consultant. I have one lab named Zappa who keeps me on my toes the way only labs know how. (I can always bring him with me to your home or let him stay at home.) My lifestyle is active and I stay flexible so I can work remotely for travel opportunities (or to stay with your fur babies in your home!). I love running, hiking, surfing, rafting and riding bikes. Senior pets, meds and special instructions are no problem for me with my certified vet tech background. I look forward to meeting you and your loved ones! Let me know if you have any questions 💙 I’m typically very flexible since I work from home. I split my time between Mancos/Durango/Telluride so can stay wherever you are or your pet can stay with me, or I can do drop ins. Sometimes I have to drive up to Telluride for client meetings but would know ahead of time and plan your pet sitting around that or just not schedule anything during that time. My house is very clean, uncluttered and comfortable. I have an unfenced yard on 4 acres but would follow your lead on this one. My dog uses a halo collar for his fence boundary at my house. I’ve cared for dogs who need leash walks only too.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hermosa
Michelle is LOVELY!!! She saved our family vacation with our anxious dog! She was super kind and great with our dog. She took her for a walk, made sure she had food and water, and gave her company while we spent the afternoon exploring. I wish she lived in our home state! We would definitely use her often! Thanks Michelle!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
