I’m working full/part time at a dog/cat free kennel place.I can work when ever if it I can go back-and-forth between pet sitting and work and I get 2 to 3 days off so those days I am most definitely free. I have 4 dogs and 1 cat at home.I play with them, feed, take them on walks at parks and nature trails,I take them to work with me.
About: From experience with puppies to older dogs, I also offer grooming and other services if needed. I have big patio and a friendly pet they can play with.

“Marcelina is an excellent and sweet petsitter who is very attentive to details and very communicative towards pet owners. She took care of my cat, Nydia (who is very picky) and I could tell that Nydia loved her from the start. I am very happy with Marcelina's services, recommend her 1000% (yes, one thousand percent) and will definitely re-book to take care of my chonky cat!”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Emily Barrera and I have grown up surrounded by dogs for my entire life. I have been bathing, walking, feeding, and playing with my friends, family’s, and my own dogs ever sense I was little. My experience is that I was under a program to become a vet so I have also been an high school level vet assistant, which means I have taken courses where taking care of a dogs needs were the only grades. I have more than enough time and attention to give to your wonderful pups! I am available M, T, W, Th, Fri, from 7am-2pm. Sat and Sunday - all day!! I know how to respect one’s personal space especially knowing the trust you have in me to open your home and allow me to entertain and be there for your pups needs.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a small child. There is nothing that warms my heart more than working with and helping animals. I’m eager for any opportunity. Compassion and patience are what it takes! I work M-F, which leaves me all weekend to dog or cat sit, go and do checkups and walks, or whatever is required. I’m up to learn and try anything. Respect, compassion, and patience. These three characteristics really define what a good dog and/or cat owner requires. There is nothing I enjoy more than walking my own dogs and playing with them. I do it everyday! Without animals life would be even more tough.
“Eden was wonderful, she was available within just a days notice, did a proper meet and greet and the dogs loved her. I got updates and photos during her visit, and I know my dog was so happy to have her company and the play time. I'm also happy to have found a new sitter in my area, for future bookings.”
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. :)
“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 grew up with rescue dogs of all backgrounds and needs, learning to react under pressure and be gentle, patient, and caring. I understand when dogs need attention, versus when they need space. I’m currently enrolled as a part time student, meaning my afternoons and weekends are free so I can spend plenty of time taking care of pets. I’m also currently on the search for a part time job so my availability is subject to change in the future. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and play, as well as two small and friendly dogs to keep yours company. If there is any conflict or trouble between them, I can always put them in their crate where they occasionally sleep. We have a variety of toys and a beautiful, safe neighborhood to go for walks in.
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.

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.

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 .
