About: I’ve taken care of dogs since around the age of 10 and have had cats around me my whole life. I’m super attentive, I love just hanging out with animals and I’m and looking to meet some furry companions that I can share my TLC with! My partner has been around animals since he was a child too and he loves to pet animals and play with them. He’s like a dog whisperer, dogs just seem to gravitate towards him! My partner works from home and this is a full time gig for me right now, so I will always be able to care for animals in my care and he will be around too. Animals would never be left longer than a few hours alone at a time. I have a fenced yard in Highlands Ranch and a surplus of toys that your fur babies are more than welcome to share with my friendly foster dog!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs since I was born. I have experience with a variety of breeds and sizes- I currently have my own boxer and two cats! I have experience with training as I’ve trained two service dogs. Friends and family have also trusted me to care for their pets during day trips, weekend trips, and week long trips. My own dog has a special diet and has had medical issues requiring medication so I have experience with those types of needs as well. I am very aware of the needs each animal has and I pride myself on ensuring every animal has the best and most specialized care. My work schedule is fairly flexible and I have varying availability most days. Don’t hesitate to contact me with any scheduling questions! If I’m coming into your home, I will make sure to spend plenty of one on one time with your family member and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention! My schedule is fairly flexible right now and I update the calendar regularly so my availability should all be accurate. I work in healthcare, but primarily do home health so I am already frequently driving around and can make schedule adjustments as needed! I ensure that all questions are answered prior to watching any animals to make certain that all needs are met and any safety concerns are addressed. I also make sure to send frequent updates so you are aware that your pet is being taken care of in the best way possible!
“Nicole was great! Reliable, punctual and excellent communication. She always checked in and sent photos on her visits. My super shy cat even warmed up to her right away. We will definitely book her again!”
“Michelle did a great job taking care of my pups while I was away on business. Played fetch with Lucy & snuggled with Lola. Very flexible with scheduling. Will definitely use her again.”
About: Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I grew up caring for them from a young age. I currently own an Akita Inu, a breed known for being independent, strong willed, and requiring consistent training and handling. That experience has taught me patience, confidence, and how to read dog behavior in different situations. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including larger or more reactive dogs. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I understand every dog has their own routine, and I always take the time to follow your instructions carefully so your pet feels at home while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, or overnight care, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every booking. I currently have an Akita Inu, so I’m experienced handling strong, independent breeds and understand canine body language and behavior. If your dog is staying in my home, I always introduce dogs carefully and can keep pets separated if needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I have had a beautiful rescue German Shepard/ greyhound mix since I was eight. She protected the family and the house with big eyes and a wagging tail. My family then rescued a goofy and playful boxer/ husky mix at age 12. I also was able to grow up with two amazing tabby cats. Now being 27, dogs and cats have been a huge part of my life. Whether it is caring for my own, or looking after others through new, and re-bookings. My goal is to volunteer in a shelter to help nurture these beautiful creatures and to make sure they know they are loved, and I know I can do the same for your pets. I am very flexible in my scheduling and will try my best to accommodate you and your pets needs. I currently work remotely for Patient Care Coordination. I am typically free throughout the week, and I am wanting to jump back into animal care, to immerse myself in this beautiful world. I have two cats who both need special care for their health issues. One has asthma, and bad allergies, and my other has anxiety and bladder issues. Because of this, they need daily medication to help their needs. I always make sure my animals, (as well as others) are always provided with the essentials (food, water, play) as well as a gentle touch when it comes to medication administering or other healthcare needs. My goal is to always create a welcoming and loving environment for all animals so that they feel safe and comfortable.
About: My wife Alejandra and I have both cared for dogs our entire lives and currently have a four year old and an 8 month Australian Cattle pups, Arthur and Charlotte (Charlie), who we treat like our kids. Seriously. We just moved to a nice 2 bedroom apartment in Highlands Ranch with plenty of space for zoomies and to wrestle. There’s a trail next to our complex where we go on walks whenever we want. We also take full advantage of our annual pass to Chatfield State Park that they both adore and we can bring your dog(s) as well (as long as there aren’t any restrictions we need to be made aware of). We have plenty of toys, bones, and treats to share! My wife’s a teacher and I work full-time on a hybrid schedule - Mon, Thurs, Fri from home and Tuesday and Wednesday's I'm in the office downtown, but other than that I take my dogs for walks every 2-3 hours when I'm home. I request to work from home all week when I’m sitting other dogs for extended days so that your pup’s needs are always met. Our new house is spacious and pets are allowed on the furniture/bed to make it as comfortable as possible for your pet. Plenty of space for a crate if they need to be crated. Plus Arthur is a great dog-host and is able to be playful or chill depending on your dogs personality.
About: While you’re away, your furry friend will get plenty of love, cuddles, and maybe a few extra treats! I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you never miss the fun. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old and I have always had a love for all creatures big or small. My experience goes far beyond traditional pet sitting as I was raised on a small farm. I just absolutely love animals. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. On the weekends I can take him/her for a hike if you would like! If you have a high energy pup that needs longer distances we can take them on a bike ride. Our Aussies have loved that in the past. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am pretty flexible and very open availability. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply relaxing together. I’m happy to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the week and weekends. I am available for those early morning walks an evening check in. I do have reliable transportation as well so if you need me to pick up your little guy, or big guy we can arrange that. I want your pet to feel right at home while you’re away! 🐾 If your dog or cat has a set schedule or routine, just let me know and I’ll do my best to keep it. I’ll also follow any house rules you have, including whether they’re allowed on the furniture! I’m happy to provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, and cuddles while keeping you updated with pictures and messages along the way. 🐶🐱 We have a 5 year old Bernese Mountain Dog named Waffles and a 4 month old Kitten named Gump. They both have done very well with other dogs and cats.
“Courtney is the best. Extremely attentive and prompt in communicating with us. We trust her with our fur babies and are so grateful to have her with them when we’re away.”
About: I LOVE dogs; they are my passion. I’ve cared for pets in some aspect of my life for the past 20 plus years and have always cared deeply for animals. I have been working in healthcare for the past 10 years and have decided to transfer these skills to working with my true passion, animals. Although there is no substitute for “mom” or “dad” my goal is to be your pets second favorite person to hang out with! I am a dog groomer so it’s safe to say dogs are part of my every day life. This also gives me more flexibility so I can continue to make my dogs a priority. I never board more than 2 dogs at a time so rest assured your dog will get attention and care as if they were my own. I have two very friendly dogs who will be around to keep fur babies company. There is also a fenced in area for dogs in my complex for safe potty breaks and we like to explore outside in this house so there will be a good mix of of walks/hikes with snuggles and nap time.
“Kayla was fantastic with our cat. Normally he can be a little afraid of new people but Kayla made him feel safe and taken care of, so he immediately trusted her! She sent photos and descriptions on how our baby kitty was doing. We will definitely be reaching out again when we need a sitter and 10/10 recommend Kayla!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Highlands Ranch
We needed help on very short notice and Polina was there to save the day! Bailey is an old lady and sometimes can be stubborn or even timid around new people. Polina did everything she could to keep Bailey comfy and happy until our neighbor who Bailey already knows was back in town. It’s not easy meeting a pupper on a Sunday then taking care of them a couple days later. Polina is a true pro. She loves the pets she cares for and it shows. Thanks so much!
Blake and Madison are fantastic, they really cared to make sure Aspen was comfortable and taken care of! They were prompt when I was looking for someone to take care of her short notice and came the day before leaving to greet her and from there I felt she was in great hands. They kept me up to date on all of her outings and meals. I will 100% be using them again in the future and would highly recommend them
Lindsay has been absolutely amazing. She is very timely and my dogs love her. My Cane Corso can be very intimidating and he’s just a puppy but she’s unfazed by him. He had a diarrhea accident in his cage and she took the time to help clean up a bit and take the dirty stuff outside. It was so helpful! 10/10 recommend Lindsay!
Danielle and Jackson are amazing! They have a really calm energy which works well with our energetic pups and I have full confidence that they could handle anything our animals throw their way. There is an undeniable love of furry friends that underlines all that they do. Highly recommend! 💕✨

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Highlands Ranch choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
