About: I'm the proud owner of Layla, my 6-year-old Great Pyrenees, so I know big breeds well. I've cared for dogs from family and friends — from playful puppies to gentle seniors — and I understand that every dog is different, with their own needs and personality. I love giving each pup safe, attentive, and affectionate care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the dogs in my care throughout the day. Pet care isn't something I have to squeeze in around other commitments — it's a priority I can build my day around, whether that's regular walks, sticking to feeding and potty schedules, or just spending quality time with a dog so they're never left alone too long. My availability means I can be reliable and consistent for both walks and in-home sitting. When caring for your dog in your home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow the feeding, walking, and potty schedule you set, and make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Every dog is different, so I keep a close eye on their behavior and needs and always put their comfort and safety first. On walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, stick to familiar routes, and adjust the pace and distance to fit their age, energy level, and breed. I'll also send updates and photos so you can relax while you're away.
“We love Robyn! She takes wonderful care of our babies, and we will be hiring her more often, now that we have a trusted sitter in the area. She’s communicative, thorough, loves all animals and puts in the extra effort. Traveling is so much easier when you have someone you can rely on. Thank you Robyn!”
“Emma took GREAT care of my cat while I was out of town. She played with him, got him fed, dealt with his littler and was on time - very reliable! My cat is very particular but he loved emma so I think she must be a pet whisperer :) Highly recommended Emma for any of your pet sitting needs and will be using Emma next time my little guy needs a visit!”
“Katrina went above and beyond for my animal family! I had to take my kitty into the vet before leaving town and Katrina picked her up from the vet and made sure she was very well cared for the entire time I was gone. She also gave extra love and care to my senior dog and big dog who demands constant affection :) I will be booking her again! So glad we found her on here!”
About: Your dog gets a half-acre fenced yard on two acres, and a gate that opens straight onto open space and trail. No loading up in a car to find a walk, we step out the door and go. For a big dog with a real engine, that’s the whole difference. I have two labs of my own, a male and a female, both social and easy, so your dog has company and a pack to fall into rather than a crate and a quiet house. I’ve been boarding for friends and neighbors for 10, and I know what a bored 70-pound dog does to a living room, which is why exercise comes first here, not as a bonus. Good fit for: large breeds, working and sporting dogs, adolescents with too much energy, dogs who don’t do well kenneled. Not a good fit for: dogs who can’t be around other dogs, or who need to be kept separate. I’d rather say that up front than have anyone spend a bad weekend. I also offer dog walking and drop-in visits for locals who’d rather keep their dog at home. Same approach, a walk here means actual miles on real terrain, not fifteen minutes on pavement. Daily photos and a note, usually from somewhere on the trail. I work from home, so dogs aren’t alone for long stretches, I’m here through the day and the routine is built around that. Mornings start with a walk on the trail behind the house before I sit down to work. I leave the doors open so that dogs are able to go in and out of the fenced yard through the day while I’m at my desk, with a midday break for a longer outing. Late afternoon is the real hike, when my two labs go out and your dog goes with them. Evenings are quiet, everyone’s tired by then, which is the point. I do take calls during the day, so there are stretches where I’m at my desk rather than actively playing, but the dogs are with me, not shut away. Weekends are more of the same with longer hikes and no calls Containment: My yard is a half-acre fully fenced, on two acres backing to open space. Gates stay latched and I check them before any dog goes out. Dogs are never off-leash on the open space unless the owner has confirmed reliable recall and I’ve seen it myself on a long line first, otherwise we hike on leash, every time. In the house: Dogs are loose in the main living area with me and my two labs, not confined to a garage or basement. I have crates available if your dog is crate-trained or you’d prefer it, and I’m happy to keep whatever routine they already have. New dogs and mine are introduced outside on neutral ground before anyone comes in the house. Requirements: Up to date on rabies, distemper/parvo, and bordetella. I ask for your vet’s contact and a backup person who can make decisions if I can’t reach you. Wildlife: We’re in the foothills, so coyotes, bears, and mountain lions are part of the landscape. Dogs go out into the fenced yard supervised, not unattended, and I don’t leave food or water bowls outside. Nobody is out in the yard alone at dawn or dusk. If something goes wrong: I’ll call you first, but I won’t wait on a callback to get a dog treated. My work is in wildfire and emergency planning, so I keep an evacuation plan for my own dogs including crates, leashes, records, and a go-bag ready and any boarding dog is included in it if there is an emergency.
“Danielle was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our cats while we were away! She made sure to give all the details of how they were doing and sent lots of great pics. She was also easy to communicate with and answered any questions right away. We will be using Danielle as our go-to sitter in the future! Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up around dogs. At just 10 years old, my mom involved me in dog sitting for a neighbor. I worked for her until I turned 18, cleaning kennels, walking the dogs, and dog sitting when she traveled. During college and afterward, I managed a dog care and senior dog shelter, dedicating my time to caring for the dogs. After work, I would walk the shelter dogs. I have two rescue dogs of my own and simply love being around animals. I love being around animals. I'm currently in between jobs and seeking new opportunities, but in the meantime, I would love to spend some quality time with animals. It really helps bring joy and comfort to my days. I live in the beautiful mountains with my two rescue dogs, who bring so much joy to my life. If the pet is staying at its home, it will enjoy cuddles and plenty of treats.
“Looking forward to asking Donald to watch my cat again! Donald is friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. My very shy cat was very comfortable around him.”
About: I’ve taken care of kids and animals my whole life because I love providing love and care to all living things! I enjoy taking pets on walks, engaging them with their toys, and of course giving them some good pats and scratches :) I work remotely and have the flexibility in my schedule to match the routines you keep with your fur babies. Taking a break from work to go on a walk, play fetch, or give some pats & scratches is my favorite! Any pet in my care will be getting the VIP treatment where attention, playtime, and affection are concerned. I used to be a teacher, and from my time managing classes of over 35 middle schoolers and their art supplies, I am a very flexible, detail oriented person, who follows instructions closely which would translate well into specific care needs for any pet. You tell me what your pet needs and I will make it happen at a high quality!
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a kid. We have had cats since I was 10. Lots of cats. I've also been a dog owner for the past 12 years and take care of my mother and sisters elderly Pomeranians as well as my partners large breed dogs. I really love animals and just want to be around them as much as possible. I have experience with administering meds, elderly, disabled animals. Basically the entire life span of domesticated pets. I'm a freelance audiobook director so I can stay at your place and work from there if you'd prefer. I have lots of pockets of time throughout the day to perform tasks. I don't have many obligations so I can devote my time to being present for your furry friend. I take animal safety and home safety very seriously. Animals are sentient creatures who can get scared. They need to feel safe and grounded in their environment as well as with their guardians.
About: I’ve cared for friends dogs as well as my own. I make it a point to pay attention to every dog individually and accommodate for uniqueness. I know some overheat and get tired faster than others, some dogs suffer from chronic ailments, and some are extremely energetic. I’m here for all of it. I am currently a college graduate (Mines) so I pick up pet care opportunities full time while I search for a more permanent career field. I would love to visit your dogs to provide playtime and care, however I am not able to board or house them at my domaine.
About: I have a very strong passion for animals and have grown up with multiple dogs all of my life. I began dog boarding back in Boston 10 years ago and I am the go to sitter for friends and family. In 2019 I moved to Colorado and quickly built a clientele of repeat clients—references available!! After a year of travel through Trusted Housesitters I am back continuing my business. I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, as well as cats and farm animals. I am excited to be able to help you by caring for your pets while you are away. Your animals will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own! I am available to care for your pets 24/7 as I work from home and have the ability to stay with them. I look forward to meeting you and your fur family! I am able to care for your pups at all hours of the day. Currently I am only doing in-house pet sitting and am very flexible. I am very well adapted to the needs of animals. I am an active person with a calming presence—happy to take your dogs for a long walk and/or simply provide your dog with love and compassion. I make sure to follow closely to directions and always provide text updates with pictures.
About: I've been a dog owner for my entire life, and have taken care of family and friends' dogs for many years. I also have experience volunteering as a dog walker, as well as working at PetSmart in the grooming salon. I have interacted with and taken care of dogs at every size, age, and personality. I am able to walk dogs, as well as bathe them and administer medicine if needed. I am currently the owner of two 90+ lb dogs with vastly different personalities, so I am confident I can provide the best service possible for you :) I currently work a full-time job and am available in the early morning, and after 5pm during the week. I have open availability during the weekend, and will have more availability during the holidays when my job is closed. I also have the flexibility to work from home some weeks, so I’m able to house sit and work from someone else’s home to provide constant company for your dog. I have dealt with a range of personalities and needs from all kinds of dogs. I can manage walking dogs of all sizes, and have experience observing the body language of dogs to ensure they feel safe and secure during the time I spend with them. If needed, I can administer medicine and will be sure to provide undivided attention to them while they're in my care.
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 10. I grew up with both and have always loved animals/pets! I'm very respectful and caring. I currently work full time as an accountant in Louisville, CO. I can work remote (anywhere) Friday. House sitting I can any time Fri - Sun. Dog walking I can 530 pm (I'm out right at 5) on Mon - Fri, and any time during the weekend! I of course will follow any instruction. Am fine walking, running with your dog. I'm also very comfortable if it's a dog not as friendly with others (in terms of walking etc).
About: I have had dogs,cats,bunnies,chickens throughout my life. I know how to care for each one. I am a trusted and reliable handler with any family pet(s). Being a animal person is in my blood and I absolutely love it and enjoy caring for them. Currently I have a part time job. I also ride horses for friends that are away on trips. Together they don't pay my bills. Working with dogs and other animals for clients I have been thinking of doing for awhile now. It would be much appreciated to have you as my client and make this a career. I already have three dogs with me. Having any animals stay over at my house will not be an option at all. My dogs can be very wild and not the best behaved around new furry friends. For the safety of your pet and mine it would be best to dog sit over night at the clients home if preferred. Everything else is open.

Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .

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 Meet & Greet .
