About: I have had animals all my life, and started dog sitting for others I was 16. I love to build genuine relationships with your pets and care for your home as needed while you are away. I’m currently a full-time college student, but I’m only on campus two days a week, leaving me with a very open and flexible schedule. I’m excited to spend that extra time caring for your pets and giving them all the love and attention they need! I can easily crate the dog, take them on walks, feed them, let them out, give them medicine, and would just need instruction if your pet require any extra care.
“Such an excellent sitter, took great care of my baby and completed everything I asked! I loved the pictures she sent and her response time, she took the time to think of everything!”
About: I have six years of extensive experience with dogs, encompassing various breeds and sizes. My expertise includes specialized training and nurturing relationships with puppies, fostering their development into well-behaved and happy companions. I'm delighted to share that I own several real estate properties and have the time to host pets in a specious home with plenty of natural light. I have a large private fence for your dog to have a great time in. The large house allows for your pet to feel comfortable roaming around.
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, including my own and helping out friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels—from couch potatoes to the turbo charged. I handle walks, feeding, and keeping routines consistent so dogs feel comfortable and settled. I pay attention to behavior, surroundings, and the details that help everything go smoothly. I genuinely love dogs, and they tend to love me back. I show up, I’m reliable, and I take good care of the dogs I’m trusted with. I’m happy to work with shy or anxious dogs, as long as they are safe to handle. Dog walking fits easily into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and can plan my day around the dogs I’m caring for. This allows me to be consistent with timing and give each dog the attention they need without rushing. I have strong availability on weekdays between 10am–3pm, with flexible timing on weekends and occasional availability for earlier mornings when needed. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. When I’m in your home, I stick closely to your routines so your dog feels comfortable and everything stays consistent. I’m attentive on walks and during visits—aware of surroundings, using secure leashing, and keeping things calm and controlled. I respect your home, follow instructions carefully, and communicate clearly so you know how your dog is doing. I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.
About: I've never lived a day without pets. I grew up in a house we lovingly called "the zoo," with three dogs and two cats. Coming home every day after school to that crew was the best part of my childhood. As an adult, I've walked, socialized, and cared for dogs of all sizes. Our first foster was a German Shepherd in 2019, and we were hooked. While living in Austin, we fostered 10–12 Golden Retrievers in a single year, and when the Austin Humane Society's air conditioning went out one summer, we stepped in to foster pets and keep them safe from the heat. Fostering taught me how to help animals settle into unfamiliar situations, read their body language, and adjust to each pet's personality and routine. That's exactly what I bring to every drop-in visit. We now live in Denver with our toddler, so we're taking a break from fostering, but we look forward to opening our home again when he's older. Until then, I'd love to stop by and care for your pets while you're away, whether that's a walk, a meal, medication, or just some company and attention. I'm the only person who will be caring for your pets. No one else will be assisting with visits. I'm between jobs and I have plenty of time to play with your pets. Ideal drop-ins would be between 9-6 but I'm flexible and I'm happy to do earlier and later drop-ins. Your pet's safety and comfort come first. Before the first visit, I'm happy to meet you and your pet so I can learn their routine, feeding schedule, any medications, and the little quirks that help them feel at home. During drop in visits, I'll stick to that routine as closely as possible: fresh food and water for dogs and cats, leashed walks for dogs, medications as directed, and time for play, pets, or quiet company. Before I leave, I'll double check that doors, gates, and windows are secure, and I'll treat your home with the same care I'd want for my own.
About: I have experience caring for pets for neighbors, family, and friends, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I know every animal has their own unique personality, routines, and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each pet special! I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. I’m currently working full time but hoping to find a consistent schedule caring for your pets. I am open to drops in and walks before and after work. I will respect your house and your pets as they are my own. I love my dogs and hope to love your pets just as much.
About: I love animals and have taken care of many dogs and cats over the years! My favorite memory was spending two weeks with my brother’s 4 pets this past spring (2 dogs and 2 cats). I am currently getting my masters in Counseling Psychology and have classes on Mondays and Thursdays. I am available any day of the week besides the 3 hours of class time! I love taking pets for walks and to the park. I am happy to play in a fenced back yard as well. I am currently not available to have pets in my house.
About: We’re a little obsessed with taking photos and videos, so don’t be surprised if your phone fills up with adorable updates while you’re away! We know how hard it is to leave your fur babies, and we want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re happy, loved, and having fun. I, Kaylie, worked as a dog sitter and house sitter throughout college and into my early twenties, and it was one of my favorite jobs. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, multiple-pet households, and pets with daily medication needs. Today, our whole family loves caring for pets while their families are away. Riley is a stay-at-home mom, so your pets will have lots of companionship throughout the day, and I’m a Realtor who works from home whenever I’m not out with clients. We know every pet has their own routines, quirks, and personality, and we’ll do everything we can to make them feel safe, loved, and right at home until you return. We know your pets are family, so we’ll treat them like they’re part of ours. It is truly our privilege to love on your fur babies, spoil them, and give you complete peace of mind until you’re back home. Hi! We’re Kaylie, Riley, and our son, Oakley. I (Kaylie) worked as a dog sitter and house sitter throughout college and into my early twenties, and I absolutely loved it. I loved getting to know each pet’s unique personality, caring for them like they were my own, and giving families peace of mind while they were away. After Riley and I got married and bought our own home, life naturally became busier and I stepped away from pet sitting. Recently, we made the intentional decision to simplify life, save for future adventures, and create more flexibility for our family. That gave us the opportunity to start pet sitting together, and after completing our first stay as a family, we knew we wanted to keep doing it. Riley is a stay-at-home mom, so your pets will have plenty of company throughout the day. I’m a Realtor, which means I work from home whenever I’m not out helping clients. Together, we’re able to provide lots of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and consistent care. We’re not quite ready to adopt a dog of our own because we hope to travel quite a bit over the next few years. Rover has become the perfect fit—it allows us to get our dog fix, help other families travel with confidence, and build wonderful relationships with amazing pets along the way. We know your pets are family. We’ll care for them as if they were our own, keep your home clean and respected, and send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing they’re in loving hands. We’d be honored to care for your furry family members! I will treat your animals as family just as you do! I will snuggle them and pet them and take them on walks as often as possible!
“Elena is a *GEM* I am so happy I found her, and my boys were well-loved and very well taken care of while we were gone. The dogs and I look forward to having her take care of them in the future!”
About: I have 6+ years of professional and personal experience with dogs; most recently I have spent time with senior dogs with a slower lifestyle and more needs. Also very well versed in dogs with emotional needs/dogs with history of abuse. I work once a week, so I have a lot of flexibility in schedule. I am available most days, exception of Sunday, morning or afternoon, on a routine basis or just one time! I care for your dog however is best needed for them. Drop in visits, walks, a companion/snuggles to help with separation anxiety, anything your pet needs that I can provide from your home.
“Michelle was such a treat to work with! Lots of love and attention for our fellas, understanding their needs and routine so well. We appreciate her help while we were gone!”
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.
“Highly recommend Courtney! We have two dogs that are sensitive to new people dropping in. Courtney did an incredible job familiarizing herself with Fez and Layla. She went above and beyond by walking them. Highly highly recommend!”
About: Pets are our furry babies. They give us their undivided attention, loyalty and love. So why, shouldn’t we do the same? Being avid animal lover, nothing could make us more happier than to give your Pet a comfortable stay- A home away from home with loads of love pampering so you can go ahead and enjoy your vacation being assured that your furry baby is being well looked after. Lots of playtime I do have a 15 and 18-year-old who loves furry babies as well. We have 2 year old Pom that love when Other furry babies come over to play she is up-to-date on all her vaccinations and does very well with other animals cats or dogs. Can’t wait to meet all my new furry friends. Thank you for trusting me with your furry babies.
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.

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
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! 💕✨

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Highlands Ranch is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $33 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 12,052 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Highlands Ranch. 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
To find sitters in Highlands Ranch with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 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.
