“We are so grateful for the amazing care our dogs received. Since I travel for work, it’s incredibly important to have someone we can trust in our home. Our dogs stayed comfortable in their own environment, and the daily updates made us feel connected even while I was away. Our dogs were happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for. We look forward to booking with Chris again!”
“Alissa really helped me with Chumley! He absolutely loves her, and they bonded very quickly. I have no reservations about hiring Alissa again should the need arise. Thank you, Alissa!”
“Sarah was great! She was so sweet to our old cat and hung out with him while he ate and gave him lots of attention. She was very flexible and communicated well with us throughout the daily drop-ins. I will keep her in my address book for future pet needs!”
About: I moved to Johnstown Farms last February and have absolutely fallen in love with the community here. I bring many years of experience caring for both cats and dogs—including my own—so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pets while you’re away. My two cats, Tigerlily (13) and Tanner (10), are a big part of my life and have been with me since they were young. Tigerlily was rescued from a college parking lot and is a total princess who loves sunbathing and will absolutely let you know when she wants treats or the blinds opened so she can soak up the sun. Tanner is my “foster fail,” adopted after I took in her and her siblings from a difficult situation involving stray cats being poisoned in the neighborhood. She is very playful and rambunctious, but also one of the best cuddle buddies. I grew up with dogs and still have a beloved family dog who lives with my parents. I’m very active and enjoy taking dogs on long walks and making sure they get both exercise and enrichment. I also have experience with feral and unsocialized cats, so I’m comfortable working with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and needs. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate midday check-ins and sometimes last-minute bookings. I’m always happy to tailor my visits to your pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d love to connect and meet you and your furry family members! Not only do I work from home so my schedule is quite flexible but I am also a morning person, so my day starts at 6am in the morning and typically includes 2 miles walk that I would be happy to share with a pup. I think its important not to leave pets unattended while playing in the yard (dogs) or to make sure they are supervised when playing with certain toys (cats).
About: I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. Years of experience in watching family and friends pets. I cater to you I work Mon-Fri, but do come home at lunch for an hour if I’m boarding at my house. I have weekends off and open availability I have a fenced yard and have friendly playful fur babies too. I will accommodate to medication or dietary needs, we can crate if needed.
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life and take great pride in making sure they are well taken care of. I’ve often been told that my animals are spoiled, but I like knowing they are happy and safe. I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family many times, and treat them as if they are my own. I’m currently working part time in the morning/early afternoons so I am available in the afternoons/evenings and weekends for walking and caring for your pets, I let my personal pets in my house, and like to play with them outside when possible. I am willing to crate your pets if needed, and will play with your pets to let them burn off energy.
About: I’m SUCH an Auntie with all the pets I watch! I've regularly cared for all my siblings' dogs for decades -my sister's two medium dogs have even recently been for a stay of over a week, right here in my apartment! So a multi-day routine is pretty easy for me. I've been told more than once that a pet who "doesn't usually warm up to people" ends up seeking me out! Since it seems to be a strength of mine, your shy pet may end up a good friend! I live in a studio (no private yard), but I have a fenced back porch for outdoor time and the complex is very secure so walking around here is no problem! My schedule as a certified night-owl runs roughly noon to 5am, so I'm a great fit for lunchtime visits and evening/night walks -and bonus (!) you don't have to rush back from a late-night out, since I've got your doggos covered well past when most sitters would need you home. For overnight boarding, I'm a light sleeper and stay responsive to your dog's needs through the night and early morning. I won't cancel for snow -I grew up driving in snow and ice even from before 16 on a South Dakota farm and spent over a decade in Wyoming winters, so Colorado weather doesn't scare me off (maybe a blizzard sure, but otherwise!) My own 8-year-old cat is fully comfortable around dogs and cats. She's been present through all of my sister's dogs' stays (check out the photos!) and has her own secure, independent access to our enclosed back porch as well as a catio enclosure for daytime chillin'. Currently my job is DoorDashing, so I could whittle out any time for all pets! I am a big night person, so as said noon to 5am is typical. That would mean I would be awake with your doggos for more time than typical sitters at night. I am willing to do several days in a row if needed since I can move my dashing schedule around quite easily. When I am at your place not only will your pets be taken care of with whatever schedule you need, but your house will be looked after as well. If there are any accidents that need to be taken care of, I will make sure it's set! My home is very small -just a studio (a good-sized studio apartment), but I have had my sister’s two medium-large dogs stay there with me for over a week and they did a great job! It’s not much area to wander around in, but I have pet beds and spaces to feed them! I also live on the first floor with a walkout small back porch that leads to the well-maintained outdoors of the apartment complex where I can easily take your dogs for any outside time they would need. The soundproofing in my place is also immaculate, so even if they bark everything will be okay! I do have one cat. So if your dogs or other cats are not okay with that, I am more than willing to come to your place if need be. She is great with others as long as they’re not too into her business and she has places that she can hide when she needs so she is great! I also have a “catio” on my back deck that is attached to my window with a pet flap where my cat goes out and chills. It is a very large enclosure.
About: I've had a dog and a cat my whole life. I've fed walked and bathed them as well as groomed them. I've always loved animals and it's my dream to have a job in pet care. I'm not working currently so this will be my main focus. I'm ready to help in any way I can and take care of your animals as best I can. I care for my dog and my cat at home. I clean the litter box and pick up the dog poop as well as maintain their food and water. I take my dog out daily to throw the Frisbee.
About: I have been a dog mom for 2 of my own and have fostered dozens of large dogs, sick or healthy, many from kill lists that I help to heal. It's not just physical, but mental healing and manners, inside the home or out in public. All my fosters have gone on to be adopted by loving families! I primarily do boarding, and can walk your dog (s), keep your dog in my home where I have a huge fenced yard. House sitting, drop ins and walks are good if you live close to my place. I am mostly retired. I’m allergic to cats, so no house sitting your dogs if there is a cat present. My experience with foster dogs has taught me how to easily handle dogs with positive re-enforcement. I don't demand that your dog(s) submit to me. I give praise every time I catch them doing well. I train house manners when in my home to eliminate counter surfing, attempts to push through a door first and they get to practice their obedience commands. Lots of walks and a prolific amount of play engage their minds allowing them to work mentally and physically to become a happier pet. I believe all dogs are good dogs, it's the people that need to bring out the best in them. Your dog(s) will be happy! I appreciate the generosity of happy pet owners and all cash tips support my dog foster efforts :). Thanks!

About: Growing up on a small farm in rural Texas, i’ve been surrounded by animals by entire life, yet our little furry friends that we allow to live in our homes always have been my specialty. I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 5, have taken many vet-med classes, and even have interned as a small animal veterinarian. I love an active, rowdy dog who is down to run laps and play all day, or even a relaxed gentle pup who just wants cuddles. I have intensive experience with senior dogs, I am able to administer any medicines/vaccines your puppy may need! I work at a coffeeshop for 3-6 hours a couple days a week and I do online fitness coaching so I can dedicate most hours to being with your pup, however I will be gone for 2 hours each day for the gym!! I love taking the dogs on long walks behind my house multiple times a day, and even runs if your pup is up for it!! On off days, I love taking the dogs to get pup cups. I live solo in a pet-free, child-free apartment that is spacious and has an unfenced backyard, however there is a park nearby to take any runners out in!
“Riley was amazing with our pups, Barack and Oliver! It’s not always easy finding someone who can handle both of their personalities—Barack’s a bit stubborn and Oliver is more of a chill guy—but Riley totally got them. We got cute updates and pics while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Definitely booking again—highly recommend!”
“Bryn was such a good communicator! She sent lots of pictures and followed up with each of her drop ins. My bubs looked very happy to play and hang out with Bryn. She was even able to keep an eye on him for an extra day when I got caught in the Southwest Christmas snafu. Sadly I am not in Loveland anymore… but if I was, I’d book with Bryn again in a heartbeat!”
“Remi was so happy to see Apple! Apple and her daughter were playing with her when i came home and her tail was nonstop wagging. Apple came over and was very flexible with time which I appreciated beyond words. She was amazing! Will definitely book again in the future!”
“A big thank you to Michelle for coming through for us, on short notice and despite having a jam packed day herself! Michelle genuinely cares about Clover and makes the extra effort to ask about and follow through with Clover’s care and training instructions. So grateful to have found such a reliable and kind sitter!”
About: I’ve taken Care of dogs my whole life and have been doing dog boarding full time for over a year now .Currently have one senior girl that we have in our home and a younger pup. Your pup would be loved taken care of and be given all the walks and treats you allow throughout their visit. I am experienced in puppies and older senior care. I am working part time and would have plenty of time to tend to their needs. Feed them with whatever dietary restrictions you may have and normal potty breaks with space for back yard activities and dog walks I have a fenced yard and crates available if your dog needs it. If they are spending the night I have dog beds. They would have friends to play with that would require a meet and great

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Johnstown
May was absolutely wonderful with my chickens while I was on vacation! She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. She even brought them a special pinecone treat to play with, sat and read to them, and went the extra mile by checking on them an additional time when we had stormy weather. 🥹🐔 It was so clear that May genuinely cared about my chickens, and knowing she was looking after them gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I came home to happy, well-loved chickens, and I couldn’t be more grateful. I would absolutely recommend May and would love to have her care for my flock again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Johnstown is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 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 November 2026, there are 5,490 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Johnstown. 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 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 Johnstown. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
