About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5, I’m now 31 years old so it’s second nature. We have 4 ourself, and 11 fish tanks so big animal lovers here, dogs get free rein of the house and we have a big yard for them to do their business as well! We also have a big trail next to us for walking needs as well, we look forward to you booking with us Not working right now, so my time is spent at home with the animals fully. I try to stay home as much as possible so I’m fully committed to your dog I have a 3 bedroom spacious double wide trailer where two of the rooms are dog rooms so plenty of room for dogs, we don’t have a “fenced” yard but we have a huge area with a 50 ft lead where we sit on the porch with the dogs while they do their business
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.
About: I learned pet care from an early age from a dog loving family and then worked with the humane society and spent time with professional trainers. I am a retired school teacher with lots of free time! I love talking brisk, long walks with caninne companions and seeing mature up close. I live in a beautiful condo in Genesee. There is a ton of outdoor space and easy acces to trails. Great for dogs and humans.
“Ryan is amazing!! He agreed to do a meet and greet with our little guy before a drop-in visit and it helped make both us, and our dog feel super comfortable! He was very responsive, prompt, and so sweet to our little guy! We would absolutely recommend Ryan and can’t wait to work with him on the future.”
“Morgan did a wonderful job doing twice a day drop in care for my elderly cat and giving him his medicine. She sent pictures of every visit. I would definitely have her care for our cat again.”
About: I’ve been raising, fostering and rescuing dogs for the past 13 years. I’ve been through all the dog life stages and dealt with all varieties of dog behavioral and medical issues. Everyone I know says that in their next life they want to come back as one of my dogs-spoiled to no end! I work for myself and mostly from home so I am very flexible with my schedule and my ability to spend a lot of quality time with you dog. Also, I have about 10 fenced in acres up in the mountains that is a great place to bring you pup for some off leash playtime if that’s something you’re interested in I have a lot of space in my home and also over 10 fenced in acres to explore (with supervision, of course). Outdoor play/ walk time at my house can be on or off lease depending on what you are most comfortable with
About: I LOVE dogs!! I've grown up with two dogs and they got me through my adolescent years which is no easy feat. I now have two dogs of my own and we spend lots of time at the dog park getting to know many different types of dogs and learning how each breed interacts. I am an extremely responsible person who is prompt and compassionate. I would love the opportunity to take care of, walk or just check in on your dog/dogs! I'm home most of the day so I have lots of free time to spend with your dog. I also am happy to run with your dog or take them to the park if they need a little extra exercise. I'm here for whatever you need and can't wait to get started! I currently have a part-time job a few days a week so the rest of the time I am free to spend with your dog! I am available through the day and nights as well. I have a very dog friendly home and 2 sweet dogs who love to play and make friends. They will definitely tire your dog out with lots of safe play and we love to play fetch!
“Tenja was the best!! Great communication, punctuality, and it’s obvious she cares about dogs and knows how important they are to their families. Our pup liked her immediately too. Would definitely recommend Tenja and would book her again!”
“Todd was quick to respond to the booking request and super communicative! He was able to come play with our pup for a while even though our dog isn’t always great with strangers!”
“Jordan took great care of our cat during our trip and was a pleasure to meet. She followed every instruction perfectly, spent quality time with Professor, and kept in constant contact. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”
About: We have been around dogs for a very long time. As a couple, my wife and I, got our first dog in our wedding trip. Since then, we could not live without at least one dog in the house. We owned an English Cocker Spaniel, an American Cocker Spaniel, a Lab mix, a Dachshund, an American yellow Lab. We currently own a chocolate merle American Cocker Spaniel. We also take care of cats. We are retired, and available at all times during the day to love and care for your dogs and cats. We are performing our duties seriously, without skipping over anything. We are extremely careful about dogs' and cats' safety. We have medical training and on walks / trips we carry a backpack with medical emergency supplies. We like to think ahead and be prepared for any situation.
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, growing up around a wide variety of pets and continuing that care into adulthood. From a young age I have house sat and watched animals from my own home over the past 30 years. My experience includes horses, dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and lizards. I am comfortable with daily routines, individual personalities, and providing calm, attentive care to ensure each pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. My entire family loves animals and caring for them. They all contribute to loving and taking care of your furry family members. Special Skills & Care: Basic dog obedience training Bathing & basic grooming Leash walking & exercise Feeding & fresh water routines Administering basic care & monitoring health Experience with multiple animal types Calm, patient handling Following detailed care instructions Providing companionship & comfort Pet care fits very well into my daily routine. I am home every day from 2:30 PM through 8:00 AM, which allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and supervision for boarding pets. During this time, pets receive regular playtime, walks, and lots of affection and snuggles. On weekends, I am home full-time, with only occasional errands, ensuring pets are rarely left alone. I enjoy making animals part of my daily routine and prioritizing their comfort, safety, and happiness while in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I tailor care to each dog’s individual needs and routine. I have a good sized backyard with 6-foot privacy fence for secure outdoor play, with water and yard access available 24/7. Dogs are always supervised while outside. Inside my home, dogs are treated like family and are welcome anywhere I am. If your dog is crate-trained or prefers their own space, I’m happy to crate when I’m not home or follow your normal routine. At night, dogs will sleep in a kennel or in a room with me, depending on what makes them most comfortable. I have other friendly pups who love to play, but I always introduce dogs slowly and can keep pets separated if your dog prefers one-on-one attention. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or somewhere in between, I adjust care to match their personality and needs. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own—providing a safe, loving, and structured environment so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾
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.
About: I have a biology background with 10 years experience In the zoo industry as well as 30 years owning and training my own dogs.

It's a great honor to know that my clients trust me with their beloved family members.

I offer in home care where i can decrease the stress on your little friend by alonging them to stay in a familiar environment. This include regular dog walking, play time , and feeding.

“Danielle did an incredible job of taking care of our cats! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She also went out of her way to take care of some household chores which was much appreciated. Very much looking forward to rebooking Danielle in the future.”
About: I have been a caregiver to animals and humans for most of my life. Living with, loving on, and caring for animals fills up my emotional bucket. Providing pet care allows me the opportunity to keep my emotional bucket full, support my entrepreneurial dreams, while bringing in income for my family and maintaining a good work/home life balance. While caring for your pets, you can expect professionalism, honesty, and integrity from me. I will check in with you as often as you’d like, and will follow all instructions.
“Destiny was conscientious. She called when she had an issue which I greatly appreciated. She offered to water plants or bring in mail when we were away. I highly recommend Destiny.”
“Isabella was so communicative and flexible to work with for our first drop-in visit! It is such a relief to know your pets are in good care! Will definitely be using Isabelle again in the future!”
About: As a owner of 3 dogs myself, I know how hard it can be to find someone you truly trust with your pets. I recently moved to Colorado and have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to provide dogs with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I’m active and love getting outside for walks and adventures, but I’m just as happy spending time with a dog who prefers a slower pace and extra attention at home. Having my own dogs means I understand their routines, personalities, quirks, and how important it is to know they’re safe and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and care I give my own. My schedule is currently pretty open. During the weekdays are ideal. If you live closer to me-- Evergreen area, I can work with you and your needs more personalized. I'm a very cautious and conscientious caretaker. I want you to return to your home and pet as though you never left. Building a positive relationship with your loved pets and owners is my main goal.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
