“Emily was super easy going and we are very grateful for her help while we were gone! We 100% trust her with our pets and will use her going forward. So glad we found her!”
About: I grew up in 4-H around all types of pets. I’ve had chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats, birds, and snakes. I’m more than comfortable with larger animals as well such as horses, cows, sheep, donkeys, and goats. Any pet, any age, any needs. I’m here to make sure your pet gets the right type of care! I work part time and can stop by for your pets as often as I’m able, typically no longer than 6 hours between visits. I’m also able to stay with your pet at your home overnight. Every pet needs something different. If your pet needs extra attention, medication, lots of play time, or has any special needs, I’m more than happy to cater to your pets specific needs.
“Jennifer did such an excellent job of house sitting and looking after our two kitties, one of which is a special needs kitty, throughout the 9 days that we were away. She provideded us with timely communications and great photos of the kitties. We will definately use Jennifer again for our pet sitting needs and would highly recommend her.”
“May had been great with Darius! Very communicative and responsive. She also gives great detail on her River Cards for those of us wanting more details on a drop in. would recommend!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies, turtles, even bearded dragons for years! I literally just love all animals & would love to be able to love on yours while you’re away! I would never want your pets to feel lonely while you’re gone, please trust your babies will be in great hands & very loved! So I have a part time job & I’m also doing a bit of school but I’ll be home a lot except on Thursdays I will for sure be home late. But other than that between classes & shifts I will be at home playing, cuddling, & taking care of your beloved pet! I do live in an apartment but have a fenced in yard & I also have multiple parks nearby that I can take your dog on a walk at. I have no other pets in my apartment so if your pet doesn’t like sharing that’s no problem! I do have a crate if need be for your pet, & if you have a cat I’m also about to purchase a cat tree!
“Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of my cat, Helen. The last time I used Rover, I only used the "1-hour visit" service. Helen was very loud when i came home and was very clingy. This time, she almost treated me as I just got home from work. Jennifer even bought toys and a brush for Helen. I strongly urge anyone that needs a house/pet sitter to pick Jennifer!!”
About: I have taken care of all sizes of animals ever since I was 14 years old, from horses to rabbits. Currently I have four cats, two dogs, one horse, one donkey, and four goats. Some of them have three legs and some can’t see but I have cared for them all with as much love as I can. Difficult animals are something I have dealt with as well, I understand that animals have their own boundaries that need to be respected. Right now I am a nursing student at UTA, my classes start on January 13, and when that happens, I will not be able to work on Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s and Thursday’s. I might be able to make it work if the scheduled time is much earlier or much later in the day. I have a fenced yard, and there are several gates in my house so I can separate dogs from each other if needed. I also have an area the cats can stay in if the certain pet does not like cats. I live on a 7 acre plot of land, which will give any dog enough run time to have fun and also sleep really hard by the end of the day
About: I’ve always had an abundance of dogs and cats all throughout my life. I’ve always had large breed dogs, but I am no stranger to small breeds as well! I’ve had puppies and senior dogs, so I have experience kind of all across the board. I have four kittens that I raised and bottle fed, as well as senior cats. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was 13. I also have experience as a veterinary technician! I am comfortable administering medication if your pet needs it. I will love your pets like they’re my own, and I am very accommodating to your schedule! I am also open to horse care as well! I do not have horses of my own, but I have a few clients that I feed for, so equine care could be discussed if needed 😊 I am starting nursing school in August, but until then I am completely free to take care of your pets. Once I start school, my schedule will change slightly, but I will still be available! I, unfortunately, cannot offer boarding, but I am more than happy to offer house sitting, overnight care, and drop in visits during the day as needed. Whatever your pet needs, I am willing to do it! I can stick to a strict feeding and medication schedule if needed. I will play with your pets, or just have a lazy day if couch potato is more their style! If your pets go out at certain times, get crated, or have to be separated for feeding, I can do it. If your pet is a bit skittish with new people, I will take the time to have them get comfortable with me and avoid stressing them out in an already stressful situation. They will be in great hands 🩷
“This was my first time using Rover and I was not disappointed. Demariana was so loving and caring with my Stormzy. Shared lots of pictures and I could just tell she spent the time caring for my little girl that she needed.”
About: I’ve been a cat person for as long as I can remember! I got my first cat when I was 7, and even though he was a little mean, I loved him dearly, and he was a big part of my life until he passed away when I was 17. I’ve had cats in my life ever since, and I’m very much a proud cat lady. I currently live in a household with five cats and two dogs, so there’s never a shortage of animal personalities around here. Living in a multi-pet household has given me plenty of experience with how different every animal can be and how important it is to respect their individual personalities, boundaries, and routines. I understand that every cat has their own personality. Some are affectionate and want attention all day, while others prefer their own space or need more time to warm up to someone new. I’m happy to meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m a lifelong cat lover (and proud cat lady!) who’s been around cats for as long as I can remember. I have two of my own—both rescues—and they mean the world to me. I’ve been through everything from bottle feeding and socializing a stray kitten to emergency vet visits and post-hospital care, including administering medication, syringe feeding, and round-the-clock monitoring. When my own cat was recently diagnosed with pancreatitis, I didn’t hesitate to do whatever it took to get him the care he needed. That experience only deepened my understanding of how important it is to have someone you can truly trust to care for your cat. I treat every cat I care for with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Cats aren’t just pets—they’re family. I get that, and I show up accordingly I provide drop-in visits tailored to your cat’s needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need playtime, cuddles, or space, I respect their personality and routine. I’m experienced in feeding schedules, litter box upkeep, and administering medication if needed. I also keep an eye on their behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your cat is in great hands.
About: Caring for animals is my passion, and I have been providing dedicated pet care for over 10 years. I prioritize the comfort and happiness of every pet, treating them as if they were my own, and ensuring a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine. I manage the needs of high-energy breeds with active play and outings, maintain a clean and secure environment, and am vigilant in observing any signs of distress or health changes. I am CPR and First Aid trained. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and always have emergency contact information readily available. Witnessing their unique personalities and helping shy pets feel comfortable brings me joy. My kindness and empathy make me a great fit for caring for your beloved companions. I would love to use my pet-sitting, walking, and grooming skills to care for your dogs and cats! Available any time or day. Date night, work, sleep, jus need a break I’m here to help with your pets and would love the opportunity. Fenced in yard, treats and food , safe and clean house, plenty of toys and treats and care and anything extra they may need. Thanks

Jynna was incredible with our two cats! She followed all our instructions to the tee, made us laugh with the multitude of photos she sent while we were away, and most importantly gave us the peace of mind that our cats were in good hands while we were gone. Thank you Jynna!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 406 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across La Junta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. 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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
