“Brenda was so incredibly helpful and sweet with our dog Indi. We had a work trip come up suddenly and Brenda was extremely accommodating for all requests with a relatively short notice. She gave great updates on each visit, and made sure our dog was as comfortable as possible while she was missing her people! 10/10 and will be utilizing Brenda’s great service again very soon.”
“Jess was amazing. From the meet and greet to the four days she cared for our dog and two cats everything went smoothly. Jess is a great communicator and took good care of our animals. Highly recommend!”
About: Your pets deserve the best care possible! From wildlife sanctuaries to your home, I bring that same level of love and attention. I'm here to walk, feed, and interact with them - including administering medicine when needed! I have cared for dogs for most of life and have cared for cats and horses as well. I volunteered at a wildlife sanctuary overseas where I helped the rangers with animal care, habitat maintenance, food prep, maintenance at the park, and much more. Animals I came into contact with are dingoes, kangaroos, koalas, wombats, variety of reptiles and amphibians, and much more. Learned so much and would do it again. I currently work at a family business which has much more flexibility during winter and spring. Summer and fall I am able to provide care more in the evenings (after 5pm mountain time) from Sunday to Thursday. I take my dogs out three times at the family property where they have room to roam free and be dogs. Feed them twice a day with a few treats throughout the day when they perform a trick or are being extra good. I give them love and attention throughout the day. If I notice anything out of the ordinary regarding their health that is life-threatening I call the vet immediately. If watching a friend's pet I call/text them first to let them know what I am observing. I will also send them pictures and updates on their pets care with me. My animals are my babies.
About: I have experience with large breed dogs, sighthounds and the tiniest of pups. I have worked professionally in dog nutrition and am well versed on many diets from kibble to raw and home cooked! I also know homeopathic remedies! I love dogs and providing them with the most excellent care! Whatever your special pup needs wheather it is a good long hike or a trip to the dog park or maybe a lazy day on the couch! I have 3 borzoi and 1 papillon at home, so I am definitely comfortable in the juggle of a huge pack and can walk more than one dog at a time. I am also equipped to handle anything from puppies to senior dogs! Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur baby! I am available after 4pm M-F and anytime on the weekends! I am comfortable with all temperaments of dogs and can provide whatever services needed. I have a fenced yard but do not intend on having dogs in my home. I would be doing walks and dog sitting in your home.
About: My wife and I both pet sit for various different families in our surrounding area. We also have three fur babies of our own and are looking to expand our customer base.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hotchkiss is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $28 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 66 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hotchkiss. 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.
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 .
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 , 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 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 .
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.
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.
