“Very reliable! Even though Rover gave me the wrong service area, Steve still made the commitment to show up for Winston. I am so thankful and would highly recommend his services.”
About: I have a veterinary technician assistant certificate from Community College of Denver. I have volunteered at a pet shelter and walked dogs there before. And have work at petstore before as well. I go to school so I'm able to take care of animals in the early mornings or in the afternoon. While also being free on weekends and maybe able to do weekdays. I'm able to follow your instructions carefully and will make sure your animals need are met. I can work with animals of great vary.
“Audrey is extremely communicative and professional. She completed a meet and greet with us and asked such well thought out questions that I knew she would take great care of my dog.”
“Jenny provides such great service! She leaves such detailed notes and takes multiple pictures during her visits. Have rebooked many times and plan to continue in the future.”
“Jamie truly cares for my pup, my dog clearly had a great time staying there, and there was just the right amount of communication. He provided pictures in his updates too. I highly recommend Jamie for sitting & walking services.”
“Jonathan is the first person who I have felt really comfortable leaving Parker with for long periods of time. His gentle nature is exactly what the Parker pup needs!”
“Sydney has been so helpful! We had to urgently switch our daycare for our pup and she is so good about taking our dog out for a long walk and even hangs out with her for a bit to get her acclimated back in the house afterwards. Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
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: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’m 25 years old and a lifelong animal lover with some fur babies of my own. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and I treat every animal like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I’m, currently working part time at a golf course and in school. My schedule is very open and I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. I provide attentive and compassionate care for pets in their own homes, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I also make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and companionship to keep them happy and stress-free. My goal is to maintain their routine as much as possible so they feel safe and well cared for in their familiar environment.
About: As the primary caregiver, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. My family and I are lifelong animal lovers, and we’ve always shared our home with pets. Since moving to the United States, our beloved 5-year-old Husky has stayed with our family in Colombia, so caring for other people’s pets has become a wonderful way for us to continue sharing the love we have for animals. I have experience caring for dogs with patience, responsibility, and genuine affection. My husband and our two children, ages 15 and 11, also enjoy spending time with the pets in our home, giving them plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. My daily routine gives me the flexibility and time to provide dedicated care for pets. I have spent the last few years working as a caregiver for elderly adults, which has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, kindness, and paying attention to every detail. A few months ago, my main patient passed away, and now I am able to dedicate my time fully to pet care. Being at home allows me to give pets constant companionship, regular attention, walks, playtime, and the love they need while their families are away. I know pets are not just animals — they are beloved members of the family. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. Safety, trust, and a loving environment are the foundation of the care I provide. I believe pets are not just animals; they are beloved members of the family, and my goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were at home. I have had pets my entire life. My family had a husky that we raised from a puppy, and he grew up alongside my children, becoming a very special part of our family. Although he is currently living with our family in another place, that experience taught us the importance of love, patience, responsibility, and understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I also have experience caring for different types of dogs, including small dogs, a senior dog who was 15 years old and required special attention, a bonded pair of dogs, and larger breeds, including another husky. These experiences have helped me understand that every dog has different needs, routines, and personalities. When pets stay with me, they become part of our family environment. They will receive constant attention from me, as well as companionship from my children and my husband. I carefully follow every owner’s instructions regarding food, medications, exercise, routines, and any special needs. My priority is to provide a safe, calm, and loving home where pets feel comfortable, while giving their owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is being cared for with the same love and dedication they would provide themselves.
About: I grew up with animals of all kind and am used to different animals needs. I grew up with an English Spaniel and have dogsat often for my sister’s shih zhu/maltese mix who’s very energetic and stubborn, as well as taken care of her four chickens when she’s out of town. I have experience with taking care of elderly dogs as well, I dogsat for a 14 year old frenchie who needed diapers and to be let out outside every night at 2-4am. I’ve also helped dogs that need meds taken every evening/morning. I like walking dogs and also understand that some dogs have limitations(old age/injuries/etc) and they may not be able to go very far or fast. I grew up with a tabby cat and am very familiar with cats. I like playing with them and am used to emptying their litter box often. I used to care for 2 guinea pigs and have spent hours in a day making sure they’re happy and healthy with ample veggie snacks/hay or toys, a clean space and some snuggles. I’m conscientious about having a clean space at all times and I enjoy providing a clean area for animals. Overall I have more experience with dogs but I’m ready and happy to care for any cats and small animals :) I’m currently in between jobs and am available to watch your pets when you need me to, I have a lot of free time at the moment and would love to spend this time helping out my community I respect house rules and am conscientious about keeping the space clean and organized. If there’s anything specific you’d like me to be aware of please let me know.

Lindsay stayed with my Nellie for a long weekend while I was out of town. She is a wonderful sitter! The house was spotless when I returned. She took really great pictures and the communication was outstanding which was a comfort since I was out of state. She spoiled Nellie with lots of attention and walks. Lindsay is responsible and reliable and she will be staying with Nellie again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Highlands Ranch. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

Every walker 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
