“Zoe & Ava were great with our cat Boba! They sent excellent updates each day with lots of photos. There was some inclement weather the first day of our trip and they even said they could check in on Boba if weather things got bad which was a weight off our minds. Would definitely book again!”
“Jessica did an amazing job. Super conscientious and her updates with videos made me so happy and set my mind at ease. We highly recommend her, especially for cat sitting!”
“Very thankful for Mia for looking after our cat while we were out of town for several weeks! She was really great in communicating any questions for clarification on things and I really appreciated her coming to meet our kitty before booking to be acquainted with him and his environment. Would highly recommend”
“Jordan was great! She did drop in visits for our two dogs for several days and sent detailed, thoughtful updates and plenty of photos. Both pups seemed comfortable with her right away.”
“Martyna was amazing! She went above and beyond for us while taking care of our boys. She was always quick to respond and kept us updated, which made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in great hands. She even managed to get our shy boy to come out and say hello, which says a lot! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Lila is fabulous! She is so wonderful and loving with Nori. I truly appreciate everything you did today to make my puppers day. Will definitely ask Lila the next time we need a sitter!!”
“Kayli was great! She kept me updated on my kitty by sending pictures and communicating with me everytime she dropped by my RV. She was also willing to meet my cat ahead of time so that she would be less shy around her when I wasn't around. I will definitely ask for her again in the future to watch my cat! Thank you!”
“Sarah C went above & beyond with our senior cat. She sent daily videos, pictures and updates. Our cat bonded with her and she is very picky about who she trusts. I feel very confident recommending Sarah and we will use her services again. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Jackie is natural with dogs, has positive techniques, and is very reliable. Our dogs love Jackie already! We've built trust in Jackie very quickly and easily, since Jackie shows up on time and dependably. We're so happy we found someone who is so good with our pets!”
“Sara did amazing with my cat! She did drop in visits to administer oral and topical medication and had no problems. I also got an update picture from her every day and she communicated amazingly! I would definitely book again :)”
“Emma is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She was totally reliable, sent me great updates (including about how much my picky eater ate at each meal), sent loads of pictures every day, and most importantly took perfect care of my dogs. I couldn't dream of a better pet sitter! Hire Emma and put your mind at ease!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Back home in Turkey, I had my own pets, I took care of my friends pets while they were on vacation.

I truly enjoy spending time with pets and treating them with love and patience as if they were my own♥️ i'm currently working as a teacher during the weekdays 7:30am to 4:30pm i would love to fill out the rest of my time with spending time with pets!! i am fully available weekends as long as i'm not working, i will try to fit into your and your pets schedule. you can tell me what are your pets needs and what they love, i will always try to show up with them happily
About: For most of my life, I have been a dog mom, and I understand how crucial it is to know that your dogs are well cared for while you're gone. I'm here to assist you. After retiring from my corporate job, I've decided to follow my passion for animals. I have spent over a decade caring for the dogs of friends and neighbors. I am certified in animal massage and have been a volunteer at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley since 2016. I can't wait to meet you and enjoy some wonderful time with your four-legged companion! I have availability during the week and weekend to engage with your dog. This can be walks or a hike during the day, a playdate with my dogs, a basic training session, or just 1:1 cuddle time hanging out on the sofa watching our favorite show. The safety and well-being of your dog is top priority! We will find what works best for you and your dog. It can be a walk, engagement, basic training, canine massage, a play date, snuggle time...whatever meets your dogs needs that day.
About: Friend of all doggos. I've recently had 2 Italian Greyhounds - Lu (17) and Gelato (15) that were my best buds. Always looking to make friends with new pups. I work during the day, but am available weekday evenings. I’m also available all day during the weekends and most holidays. I had 2 Italian Greyhounds for a span of 18 years and can’t wait to meet your pup(s). I can come to your place for walks and visits. I don’t currently have plans to sit for other pets in my own home as I’m in the process of renovating.
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover, I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, warmth, and attention I gave my own dog. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with puppy rescues, sat for dozens of furry friends, and navigated every chapter of a dog’s life—from high energy puppyhood to the golden senior years. My own hands on experience comes straight from the heart. I spent ten wonderful years with with my rescue pup, turning a stubborn, untrained two-year-old into the gentlest giant. Having also lovingly cared for two senior dogs of my own through their final seasons, I have a special place in my heart for older pets and feel completely comfortable managing gentle routines, medication, and extra TLC. I haven’t met a dog I couldn’t connect with, and I’m always eager to make a new four-legged friend. Whether your dog needs upbeat adventures, structured play, or quiet couch snuggles, they will be in safe, confident, and loving hands! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I'm hoping to help keep dogs company through the work day and put their owns minds at ease. I don't have a yard, we do have a patio, and plenty of dog toys, treats, and comfy spots to lounge! If crating is necessary, that won't be a problem. I just ask you bring your own crate. (I never crated my dog, when I rescued him he was neglected in a crate, so I never forced him back into a crate)

AMAZING!! I was so grateful for Megan, she watched my two big doggies for a long weekend and took amazing care of them. I received multiple updates and she went above and beyond caring for them. My anxious pup usually struggles with eating and pooping and in her care had no issues whatsoever! I got photos and a lovely note at the end. Please book Megan if you want the best for your pets!
Mackenzie is a fantastic pet sitter. We had some travel troubles and she was so kind to stop by for an extra drop in when we were struggling to get back home. She provided excellent care for our cats and dog, and peace of mind that our pets were safe while we were away.
Sebastian did a great job taking care of Monty, Minnie, and Artie (dog, dog, cat). Monty had just had a suprise health scare and needed medication and Sebastian took care of him. He was smart and judicious with walk lengths in the extreme heat. We will defiantly call Sebastian again.
Danielle was great with Rumi! She was very responsive and spent quality time during our meet and greet, which I really appreciated. Rumi is a senior dog, and Danielle was very caring and attentive to his needs. She was also flexible with timing, which made everything easy. I felt very comfortable having her care for Rumi and would absolutely book with her again.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lafayette choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 .
