About: Hi there, my name is Emma! I'm a part-time pet care professional with over five year of experience working in dog daycare and boarding services. Whether your dog needs playtime, structured walks, or just some loving company while you're away, I provide a safe environment tailored each pup's personality and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and special requirements (including medications and injections), and have worked with senior dogs to high-energy breeds. My goal is always to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. I work from home full-time and am available all week even during working hours. If there is a conflict, I will let you know in advance. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In your home, I keep things consistent: following feeding schedules, walk routines, playtime, and any training or behavioral guidelines you have in place. I also make sure your pet gets plenty of companionship, enrichment, and a calm, safe environment while you’re away.

Stephanie came out to let my dogs out & then on a 2nd visit the same day took them for a walk and gave them dinner. She was fantastic with the dogs, and followed all instructions perfectly! 1 of my dogs is deaf and the other is reactive with other dogs and she did great with them.

Robyn was great, will definitely rebook in the future. She came for an initial meet and greet, and her level of communication during the engagement was great. She followed the feeding instructions to a tee and made sure our cat had food and water served in clean dishes. She also made sure to lock up our windows and doors securely after every visit. Thank you Robyn!!

About: I have 2 dogs and 4 cats. I only book 1 household at a time so your pet/s will only be with mine during their stay. If there is any overlap between bookings, I will communicate it to you so you can make the beat decision for your pet's care. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I can administer medication and care for injuries. My dogs are husky mixes that are full of energy and very friendly and playful. They frequent local dog parks, daycares and Rover sitters and are very well socialized - they do well with cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. My cats are 2 seniors and 2 youngsters. The seniors keep to themselves, the youngsters may be curious. If for any reason your dog or cat requires a quiet or private space, I can offer that too without any issue. I work from home so your pet will have very frequent attention and play time. They will also have lots of space to run and explore. If okay with you, they are also welcome to join us on car rides to parks and walks. I have a fenced yard and a very pet friendly home. Pets are allowed on couches, beds, and I have both private and social spaces for any less social or pets with special needs. I have a large crate that can be used if needed/desired.

About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.

About: I’ve worked at my mom’s grooming shop in Evergreen (soggy dog) every summer for the last 4 years, while petsitting for a lot of the dogs in my neighborhood. Personally, I have an elderly dachshund and a standard poodle puppy, so I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. It’d be a pleasure to take care of your pets! I’m currently a student at CU, but my schedule is pretty flexible. Inquire about what days I’m needed, and I can work with you! I can’t offer my own in-home services due to my college living situation, but I am obviously willing to take care of your pets in your own home. I have a car so I can arrive fast in case of emergency, and venture far if needed.

About: I’ve taken care of puppies to elderly dogs starting when I was 11. I love all animals and have cared for many from extremely anxious dogs to very active ones. I’m home from college for the summer and have a lot of free time, I would love to spend my summer with your adorable pets! Over my years of experience I have watched dogs in different settings (their home and mine) but I often find they are more comfortable in their home, especially if they are naturally more anxious animals.

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!

Jackie is great! She takes excellent care of our two puppies several times a week. She drops by and let's them out to go potty mid-day, pays them a little attention, and our dogs love her.

About: Five years and running in Summit County. My love of animals is noticeable and after having spent many a day and weekend taking care of my friends and neighbors furbabies (including running with their dogs), I've decided to make dog/cat sitting a more permanent side hobby. As a pet owner myself (both cats and dogs), I understand how important a cat/dog sitter is to the wellbeing of both the owner and their pet(s). Therefore, I'll do all that I can to make sure I provide a fun, safe and positive experience for everyone. I am a consultant so my hours are somewhat flexible during the week and weekends. Let me know how I can help. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am available for drop in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and overnight stays depending on the location. My priority is creating a safe calm and comfortable environment where pets can maintain their routine and feel secure. In a clients home I respect the pets established schedule and the owners preferences, including feeding routines, medications, exercise, playtime and household guidelines. I pay close attention to behavior and well-being and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and cared for.

Casey’s calm presence was exactly what our two special needs cats needed during our recent week out of state, as they both tend to get stressed/anxious when we’re gone. We’d recently moved to Brook Forest and didn’t have internet yet to set up our pet cams 24/7, and normally I’d be worrying constantly, but I felt totally confident with Casey checking in on them and didn’t worry at all! He was very chill about their special needs, and our blind cat with more severe mobility issues who’s extra wary of strangers started coming out of hiding within just a couple visits. Both cats were happy and relaxed when we got home. We’ll definitely call on Casey again!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Specifically with dogs mostly, cats, and some experience with birds and even bearded dragons. Any specialty care requires a solid schedule so as to maintain pets safety and wellness. I currently house and pet sit for multiple people in my life and figured I’d branch out and love some more animals. I haves degree in I.T. But I’ve learned animals are most often better than people. I schedule most days that I’m free around pet sitting. I’ve blessed to be able to love and care for pets to give them back to their owners in their best and happiest states. My home is very structured with only a few floors of mobility, as I block certain parts of my house of for pet safety. If I’m a guest in other peoples homes I learn their routine and limitations and enforce any rules or routines based off the owners schedule.

Absolutely amazing! I would recommend Becky to anyone looking for a Petsitter. She did a wonderful job watching my cats and reptiles while I was away for the holiday. She was available on short notice, her prices cannot be beat, and most of all she went above and beyond to provide my animals with the highest level of care. I will be rebooking her again!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Idaho Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Idaho Springs on Rover is $13.32 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 11,257 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Idaho Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Idaho Springs 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Idaho Springs. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
