About: I grew up always having a dog, or three, in the house. This means I have many years experience of getting along with, and taking care of various small to medium breeds. Feeding, playing, petting, walking, and cleaning up after them. I have also sat for friends who went out of town, caring for dogs as well as cats. I just moved back into town and, aside from helping my parents with their two dogs, my summer schedule is wide open. I would love to fill the time by meeting you and caring for your precious pet(s)! I am quiet-natured and good at building trust with new furry friends. I am intentional and thorough when it comes to pet care as well as maintaining the home environment. I also love to send pictures to keep your mind at ease while your pets are in my care.
About: I’m an absolute animal-lover who has been helping to take care of dogs and cats since I could walk. I currently do not have any pets of my own, so I’m super excited about the opportunity to hang out with your’s as often as you need! I’m very comfortable managing unique dietary needs, unusual schedules, and quirky four-legged personalities; whatever your needs, I’m sure we can figure it out! I have a very flexible, work from home schedule, so I will be home the large majority of the time I am caring for your baby. I live in an apartment complex that has a massive, wooded and fenced dog park. I’m happy to show you the apartment and/or dog in person, over FaceTime, or via photo. There are many other dogs who live around me, so please let me know if your dog should not be around others, and I will plan accordingly!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and caring for them is something I truly love. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities; from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I enjoy getting to know each dog and learning what makes them comfortable and happy. I want every pup to feel safe, loved, and right at home while their family is away. I provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and a comfortable environment where they can relax and enjoy their stay.

I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, potty breaks, walks, meals, and plenty of love throughout the day. I keep my schedule flexible so I can focus on each pet’s individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while they’re with me. Your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort come first! I provide a clean, welcoming, and supervised environment where dogs can relax and feel right at home. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, and needs so I can give them the care they’re used to. From fresh water and regular potty breaks to playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention, I treat every pup like family while they’re in my care. 🐶❤️
About: My name is Joyce. I am recently retired and looking to enjoy life with what I love most, dogs. I just lost my senior dog and not yet ready for another pet. What better way to heal than taking care of other sweet furbabies. As a retired grandmother of four in my spare time I prefer snuggling up with a sweet pup. I am energetic, healthy and love taking long walks and playing fetch with dogs. I live in a small town home community right outside the Heights area with a nice patio and plenty of gated green space for animals to run, walk and play. Please consider me as your pet's caregiver and I promise to take special care of your dog or cat. :)
“We were very pleased with Amy’s reliability & attention to detail while dropping in on our 2 kitties. She went above and beyond for us by also helping a neighbor with a lost kitty, retrieving an unexpected package & cleaning up after the kitties as if they were her own. Sent us many pictures along the way that made us feel confident that our pets were in the very best hands. We will be re-booking with Amy in the very near future. Thanks again, Amy! 😊”

“Alissa was very good with our Rex. This was our first time leaving our baby and she was very accommodating to our concerns. She could immediately tell our sweet boy was sad we left him and she went out of her way to make sure our boy was happy, comfortable and loved! We will definitely be using Alissa again!”
About: I have my own goldendoodle so I know what it takes to understand a dog and provide its basic needs. Your dog will get the best exercise with me because I love the outdoors and being outside. I am a friendly person and will treat every dog as if were my own because I understand the role they play in families. Since getting my own pup I am more aware of how to care for dogs and what it truly takes! I’m currently working a full time job but available before and after work. I am also available weekends and most holidays if you are planning a trip. I have a fenced yard and will crate your dog if needed. I am also very detail oriented so I will make sure whatever needs to happen gets done!
“Sergey was fantastic with Bentley! He followed all of my care instructions, kept me updated with photos, and really went the extra mile by spending extra time playing fetch with him, which Bentley absolutely loved. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such great hands. You can tell he has such a soft spot for animals and really knows how to connect with dogs easily. I would definitely book with Sergey again and highly recommend him! Thanks so much!”
About: I’m a reliable and attentive dog owner with daily hands-on experience. I care for my own bulldog, including administering eye and nose medications, daily walks, and regular feeding. I’m comfortable sticking to routines, handling special care needs, and making sure dogs feel safe, exercised, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is already a built-in part of my daily routine. When I’m home from college baseball at Colorado State University Pueblo, I consistently care for my two dogs with daily feeding, walks, and attention, and I also help care for cats with feeding and litter box upkeep. I’m used to structuring my schedule around practices, training, and responsibilities, so I’m reliable, organized, and able to make pet care a priority throughout the day and week. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and needs, whether in my home or a client’s home. I follow feeding schedules closely, provide daily walks and exercise, and make sure pets have plenty of attention and comfort. I’m attentive to cleanliness, including keeping food areas and litter boxes clean, and I carefully follow any special care instructions. My goal is to maintain a calm, consistent environment so pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

She was wonderful with my three dogs and even came on her day off to make sure they were taken care of. She alerted me right away when she noticed my front door was open, which I really appreciated. Very reliable, communicative, and attentive. I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. 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.
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 .

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.
