About: I’ve been in a home with pets my entire life. I started taking on their responsibilities at just 5 years old and fell in love with it. Pets are so important to us so it’s my top priority to make sure your pet is healthy and happy while in my care. I’m currently unemployed so my free time is basically infinite. I have 3 pets of my own who harbor a bit of my time, but I made a set schedule that works for all of them. I’m always free for walks, treats, and cuddles! I live less than 50 feet from a beautiful dog park with equipment for your pet to enjoy. There is never any children in my home and visitors are rare and well trusted. I own extra crates for your pet if needed and there are over 50 toys in my possession for your furry friend.
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.
“Was very helpful accepting my request last minute. Came here for a meet and greet and was very curious about any potential trial issues my dog may have while out on walks. Was very good at communicating when she was coming and when she arrived and even saved me when I accidentally overlooked that she was booked for ongoing walks and a payment was submitted that should not have gone through. Highly recommended from this customer. Hard to find someone willing to take on the challenges of walking a large breed Cane Corso like mine.”
“Dawn is the best! My two beagles love her! They are two rescues and usually very suspicious of people but Dawn, with her kindness, loving, attentive ways was able to connect with them immediately. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond to provide excellent care to my girls. Dawn looks after my babies frequently and treats them like they're her own. I wouldn't trust anyone else to do it!”
About: I have 3 dogs and one cat of my own! I’ve had two of the dogs since they were puppies, and my cat since he was a kitten. I’ve also pet sit for my neighbors many times! My three dogs are all chihuahuas, but i’ve had experience with bigger dogs too. I am currently working part time, but I’m planning on going full time with pet sitting! Once summer is over I will be going to school but early in the morning, from around 8 to 12. So I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets ! I will not bring your pets to my own home, because my dogs are not very friendly to other pets. I will be able to go to your home and take care of your pet(s) there!
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was in middle school. My mom use to take us to AFV to volunteer and ever since then I have fallen in love with connecting with dogs and understanding them. I have used Rover for my own dog , Nova, and I understand the importance of updates, care, attention, play time , rest time and meal time. I have full availability to care for your pet and 100% of my time and attention will be directed to them at all times. Being a dog mom , I understand the importance of attention and love. I live on fenced in ranch! With plenty of room for play time and so many new scents to explore. We have no pool , and a completed gated property. If I am in your home I will be sure to make sure to understand every need you ask for your pet :)
About: I love working with all pets, whether it be sitting, caretaking, cuddling, trimming nails or grooming, I love spending time with all animals. Can’t wait to meet your pet. Currently working from home so I’m available nearly every day for regular or special visits. I am currently in school for veterinary medicine to be able to help pets further! I have two friendly cats and a small nervous but friendly dog, at any point they can be kept away from your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard in a neighborhood with walking trails and a dog park.
About: I've been a sitter throughout a majority of my life and have been exposed to all sorts of pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, even frogs! I spent a lot of my teenage years looking after my neighbors pets and my own. My parents were strict that if we were to have pets they were everyone's responsibility! I have definitely taken on that mentality throughout life, as every pet is precious and worth the love and effort. I'd love to be able to look after your fur-baby if given the opportunity—feel free to reach out! I'm currently starting my own art business, so my schedule is very open, I can work around whatever time you need me there for your pet! Whatever is your routine for your pet and household rules are, I will do everything in my power to uphold it! If you want walks, outdoor time, play time I am happy to accommodate.
About: Hey hey! My love for animals runs deep. Growing up, my family always had animals. We had rabbits, dogs, cats, and horses. Professionally, I have taken care of dogs and cats since high school. As a tree hugger through and through, your fur babies will be loved, adored, and showered with tons of attention. I would love the opportunity to walk your fur babies, stay with them while you’re away, or simply check on them during the day. I know how important our fur babies are to us, and for this reason, I promise and guarantee to treat yours as if they are my own. I will provide pictures and videos of my time with your babies! Also, please note that I do NOT require crate training or anything of that nature. I want your fur baby’s time away from you to be as close to their normal routine as possible. While I have two puppies of my own (Wren and Quill), they have the most fantastic grandma who loves to watch and snuggle them while I housesit for you! :) I am in my final semester of graduate school, which means I have ample time to spend with your animals. I prefer to housesit instead of drop-ins. Typically, with housesitting, your pets are more comfortable! I am a graduate student and work part-time; therefore, I can fit your perfect fur babies into my schedule at any time. I have open availability and would love the chance to get some animal snuggles in. Safety is my top priority! I will carefully follow your instructions and will diligently ensure your baby is safe while in my care. This is a promise!
“Robbin has a way with dogs. Our dog loved his walks with her. She was prompt, professional, and sent us a detailed rover card with beautiful photos at the end of every walk. My dog even gave her kisses. We will definitely be using her services in the future, and highly recommend her.”
About: I’m great with dogs at all stages. Feed organic food. They are treated like family members and I enjoy taking them in the car with me. We live on 11 acres and have horses and donkeys as well. It’s a paradise for all for babies. I’m self employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can work my schedule around pet sitting. I have an SUV and don’t mind driving to customers homes. We have an acre fenced at our house. We have four inside dogs and two outside dogs. They are fed twice a day, played with and loved on frequently throughout the day.
About: My philosophy is there’s always room for one more dog. I’ve taken care of dogs for 40 years. I am an owner, a foster, a rescuer. I am a retiring nana who is looking forward to doing what I enjoy best which is taking care of your pets. I will provide the utmost care as I am available anytime. I have no restrictions on times, or days. I have dog, cat, fish, and reptile experience. I have no restrictions as I am recently retired, and can be there anytime. I am always available when you need me, and can be there at the last minute when you need someone. I can easily care for your pet in your home however you are comfortable. I am happy to sit and hang out at the house if they have separation anxiety, I can crate them if need be, and I have no problem sleeping over to make sure they are cared for and happy. ❤️
“Dezahrae was WONDERFUL! Between work long hours, kids, and life it’s hard to balance it all. Dezahrae was flexible, kind, and overall wonderful. I definitely will be using her again!!!”
About: While I don’t have professional pet-sitting experience yet, I’ve grown up around dogs and have always loved being around animals. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive to their needs. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own and make sure they get the attention and care they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and can work around my other responsibilities. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime, and I’ll communicate clearly about my availability.

About: I am a relief licensed veterinary technician and stay at home mom that does pet sitting on the side!! Petsitting is what I do full time now! Most of my business (90%) is drop in pet visits while owners are away on vacation, I do however offer limited (meaning 1 client at a time) free roam boarding in my own home unless I step away from the house then they are kenneled for their safety. They are able to exercise and go potty on 3/4 acre pipe fenced/no climb yard. I have 17 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses. 6 years of experience with exotics such as reptiles, birds and pocket pets. I can care for your pet inside my home or can travel to the client's home. I have experience administering SQ fluids, oral and topical medications, injections, and bandages. In my world, the pets are members of the family and I care for them as if they were my own, giving them the love and attention they are accustomed to receiving from their family. I also provide other services if needed at NO CHARGE such as watering plants, bringing in the mail/newspaper, checking pool levels, etc. Petsitting, boarding, and travel grooming services is what I do full time if Im not substituting at the school! They will have frequent potty breaks to eliminate any accients. I have a pipe fence with no climb on 3/4 acre of land for them to roam and play when supervised. Other times they will be free roaming with my two goldens. If they get along other times, they will be kenneled when I am away and sleeping at night in my bedroom.

The average cost of Dog Walking in La Junta is $11 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $19 per walk.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your La Junta. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in La Junta after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Junta. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
