About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life — from cats, dogs, and birds to cows and farm animals. Growing up on a farm taught me how to truly understand their behavior and emotions. Animals naturally trust me, and I build a calm, safe connection with every pet I meet. I also have experience caring for senior pets and helping shy animals feel comfortable. Whether it’s walking, feeding, or just giving love, your pet will feel at home with me. Pet care easily fits into my weekly routine because I work part-time with a very flexible schedule. I always make time for walks and pet visits, both on weekdays and weekends. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I often plan my days around it. Caring for pets isn’t just a task for me — it’s a relaxing and rewarding part of my routine. When I care for pets, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, proper meals, playtime, and enough outdoor time if needed. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality — whether they need extra energy, gentle patience, or quiet company. If needed I will keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pets are happy and cared for.
“Steve went above and beyond. Our dog has some medical issues that Steve was attentive to during his time with Nigel. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”
“I think we were all very pleased with how the 2nd meeting went. At the first meeting Loki was interested and curious but slow in assessing Pam. At our second meeting, Pam and Loki played with one of Loki's favorite toys in the backyard while my husband and I stayed out of the way on the patio. It helped break the ice between them and then when we visited on the patio afterward Loki gravitated more to Pam and even let her pet him and he gave her some love. All very encouraging. We all agreed it would be helpful to schedule a few more similar sessions. It's a slow process but, this time was very encouraging. We really appreciate Pam's patience and gentleness with Loki.”
“Morgan was so amazing with Bear. It is a great feeling to have someone that is dependable but also cares and loves your pet while you’re gone. Will definitely book again. 10/10 service!”
“Aislyn was absolutely wonderful during her drop-in visit with our pups. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, engaging, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Our Pomsky took to her right away, and the little one was warming up to her. Shiba Inus aren’t easily impressed 🙂 She was attentive, kind, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows in the way she interacts with pets. We would happily trust Aislyn with our pups again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly great with animals.”
“Maggie was clutch for us last minute. She was prompt, professional, and met all of my expectations for drop in visits to our house. We will not hesitate to use her services in the future.”
“Alexis was a fantastic sitter! She checked in on my bird, Smokey, for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. She shared daily reports cards and was excellent with communication. She also played some music for Smokey and spent time with her to make sure she was happy, which I appreciated! I would highly recommend her and will be requesting her again for future trips!”
“I highly recommend Laura to sit for your fur babies! She was great! My dog isn’t the easiest because she’s so shy and Laura was so patient and helpful. Really put my mind at ease!”
“Skyler truly goes above and beyond! From the moment we did the meet and greet, I knew Dobby would be in the safest, kindest hands. We had a mix up during our drop in where my parents accidentally left a door locked that should not have been. Skyler stayed way beyond her scheduled time to ensure she got in and that our pup was okay and taken care of. I could not have asked for a better sitter”
“Jessica typically does a 1 hour drop in for us while my wife and I go snowboarding. She is incredibly thorough, took lots of notes during our meet and greet, and I never doubt that our dogs are in good hands when she comes to visit. She takes lots of photos, makes sure they both go to the bathroom, and spends lots of time outside, even in the winter. I can not recommend Jessica enough!!!!!”
“Ashley L went above and beyond for me and my dog Bruce when my usual sitter had to cancel last minute. They were incredibly attentive to my furbaby's needs and always left detailed notes on each visit. Booking with Ashley gave me 100% peace of mind while away from my furry child. I would definitely book with Ashley again!”
“Jenny was fantastic! She is not only highly rated on her own, she also comes highly recommended by other pet sitters. we will definitely use her again, thank uou Jenny!”
“We absolutely love Shari! This is the second time we’ve had the pleasure of having her care for our cat, and we couldn’t be happier. She gives us complete peace of mind while we travel, always staying on top of everything and proving to be incredibly reliable. Our cat, Chico, is quite spoiled, but Shari takes such wonderful care of him, making sure he feels loved and comfortable. We truly appreciate her dedication, and there’s no doubt—she is our go-to pet sitter from now on!”

Lindsay was great for our two Frenchies who have never been left with anyone besides their “parents”. She is prompt, a great communicator, super flexible and most importantly she took great care of the pups (one also requires eye drops 3x a day). I would absolutely recommend Lindsay and will definitely try to book with her in the future. Thanks Lindsay!
Madeline was super pleasant and calm with my girl Zoey! She enjoyed long walks and seemed very happy upon my return from vacation her communication was amazing and always sent photos and updates while remaining very respectful! We will be using her again if she will have us!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Highlands Ranch stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
