“Thanks Tara for helping me out at the last minute. Dogs were fed and walked plus a little cuddle time. Tara was not intimidated by Jack our hunting dog. He can be a handful but Tara approached him with great confidence. Everything was great.”


About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and apparently they've had one for me too. Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in the Boulder area. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have had the pleasure of sharing my life with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, and even livestock. Unfortunately, I recently became petless after my old girl passed away. This has left my love for pets homeless and I would love nothing more than to give it all to your babies. Cuddles, belly rubs, a good hike, maybe a little mud and a bath and of course some yummy treats, I’m here for it all! Whether your pet is a professional couch potato, an enthusiastic adventure buddy or just needs a little extra TLC, I have the experience and enough love to keep up with them. I’m currently working as part of a wildlife rehabilitation internship. I’m still in the first stage, so I only need to be there about 20 hours a week, which gives me lots of flexibility. This means I can work my internship schedule around what your pet needs! Early morning feedings? Done. Middle of the night potty breaks? Done. Need a midday nap buddy? Done. I’m open to both weekdays and weekends and with 24 hours’ notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s routine is important and I’m happy to work around it whenever I can! My first priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know that consistency can make a big difference when their favorite person isn’t around. This all starts with the bond I work to form with them from the moment I become the stranger invading their territory. I’m not just there to feed, walk and clean up messes. I’m there to make sure your pet doesn’t feel scared, abandoned or stressed while you’re away. I want you to be able to leave knowing that they’re not just being looked after, they’re being loved. That peace of mind for you also comes from my close attention to detail. No door will be left open. No change in behavior shall go unnoticed. No accident will be left unattended and no animal shall be shamed. I won’t just keep your pets alive. I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure and cared for, with lots of stories for you to come home to while you’re out creating your own memories.
“We have been working with Riley for quite a while now, and she continues to consistently deliver the best care for our pupper. She is an excellent communicator, great with our dog, and is always accommodating/flexible. We wouldn’t trust our pup with anyone else more! ☺️”

“Cole was so great and patient with our dogs (one of whom is a little crazy!) He's kind, compassionate, responsible and made us feel like our pups are always in good hands. We'll certainly use him again and recommend him to anyone!”

“Absolutely outstanding dog walker. Always on time, incredibly kind, and genuinely loves dogs. You can tell right away that he cares — my dog lights up when he arrives. Reliable, friendly, and completely trustworthy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone who wants their dog treated like family. 🐾”

“Sebastian was fantastic with my boy!! Sanders absolutely loves him, and comes home from every walk happy and tired. I had never had to use a dog walker before but Sebastian made me feel completely comfortable and confident he was in good hands. Sanders and I will happily request his help for future walks anytime!”


“Thank you, Lila for taking such good care of Pace ! It made it easier to be away knowing someone was caring for him the same way I would. Consistently sending me pictures and a report each time you visited was a bonus and very much appreciated !”

“Mackenzie was great! My two pups really seemed to like her despite my one being very picky about who he trusts. Communication was great and my pups seemed to be well taken care of while we were away. Thanks so much!”

About: I have always been somewhat of a dog whisperer. Love getting to know each of their personalities and learning their routines, coming down to their level gain trust and form a relationship. I enjoying getting outside and making sure they can get their exercise. I’m a cellist, so most of my days are spent practicing and going to rehearsals/teaching in the larger Boulder area. Most of my mornings are very free. I love going on walks with dogs, taking them to the dog park and socializing them with other dogs, using positive reinforcement to form and maintain good habits and everything in between. Care in your home is also important to me. I want to make sure you can have piece of mind that not only will you pet be taken care of but your home as well.

About: I will give endless love to your animals. I really enjoy researching animal body language so that I can ensure the animals comfort! I am mostly a home body so I can spend lots of time with your animals. I’ve always been a big animal lover and I love meeting new animals and learning about their unique personalities!! I also have experience giving pets medications or special meals. I’m a self employed artist so I make my own schedule and have the freedom to spend lots of time with your pets. I can easily adapt to any pets schedule, whether they are waking me up at 5am, or if they need constant love and attention. I will keep your fur babies company as much as possible, I really love animals and the positive energy they bring to an environment. I will often try to leave your space cleaner than how I found it, if I can find the right tools in your home! I like to build trust between myself and the animals, and myself and the pawrents.
“I highly recommend Amy for any pet care needs that you may have. She was incredibly communicative and on top of everything. She seems very trustworthy and reliable. I will definitely be using her again to help care for my dog.”

About: I’ve taken care of many animals from dogs and cats to chinchillas and lizards. I love taking care of all creatures (even the ones others don’t). Currently I have my own dog, a chinchilla, a chameleon, bearded dragons, and a snake. I have daily, weekly, and monthly tasks for all of them. I have an older pup (she is 21). She gets along with other dogs and likes to play. I also occasionally watch my parent’s dog who is 5. I can separate animals if needed as well. I have a garage, yard, and multiple floors

About: HELLO!!! My name is Sarah, and I would absolutely love to care for your fur babies!! Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. Since I was a little girl, I’ve had a deep love for animals of all kinds (including a few “wild” neighborhood friendships that my parents didn’t always approve of 😊). From dogs and chickens to squirrels and everything in between, I’ve always felt most at home around animals. That lifelong passion has grown into a genuine commitment to giving pets the love, safety, and attention they deserve. I have a special place in my heart for pets with unique needs. My dog Gus was paralyzed from the waist down for most of his life, and my dog Ronnie was half blind with several health challenges. Because of this, I’m very experienced and comfortable caring for disabled, senior, or medically complex pets. I understand the extra patience, gentleness, and attentiveness they require—and I’m here to provide exactly that. If your pet needs specialized care, you can feel confident they’ll be in compassionate, capable hands. I offer a range of services including overnight stays, drop-in visits, and support with puppy routines and training. Whether you need consistent care or occasional help, I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s specific needs and your schedule. I’m based in the greater Boulder County area and live with my partner, our dog Sydney, and our two beautiful ducks, Trudy and Winnie—so our home is full of love for animals of all kinds!!! 🦆🪿 My schedule is currently very flexible! I’m both an early riser and a night owl, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and cuddles. 🥰 Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how important routines, trust, and communication are—especially for pets who need extra care. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and will always go the extra mile to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. If you’re looking for someone dependable, attentive, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love to connect. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! ❤️ My schedule is currently wide open, so I have plenty of time to love on your fur babies throughout the day! I'm an early riser, and a late bed time goer - So my availability is wide open for your pet needs. :) I take care of other peoples' pets with the same love and care that I give my own at home. If there is a specific routine that your pet needs to be followed, just let me know - I understand the need for specific schedules and routines, especially for handicapped/disabled little ones! So I will go above and beyond to make sure your babies are comfortable, loved and well taken care of!
About: I’ve been privileged to have dogs be apart of my entire life. From having them as pets, caring for others, and volunteering for multiple shelters over the years, dogs have been a priority for me. I have deep respect for routines and instructions, can work with new born to seniors (who are just babies really), and will give them the love and attention they deserve. I am currently working on aspects of my education and have a lot of time to dedicate to pet care. I have minimal travel plans, so would be interested in a one time walk to a long term sit, and everything in between. I have reliable transportation and I’m allergic to being late. Communication and following instructions is top priority for me, so you will never wonder how your wonderful companion is doing. When caring for pets in your home my priorities include respecting your property, your instructions, and your animals needs. Schedules are followed to a T and communication including updates and pictures if wanted! Something I really pride myself on is being able to adapt and match the energy your animal needs. From extremely anxious to very extroverted, I can easily find the pace they are most comfortable with to reduce stress, build trust, and give them the love needed while you are busy!

About: I’ve had dogs for 15 years, and loved, trained, and raised them from puppy age until the very end. I’ve taken care of friends and family dogs for seven years. I have experience in senior dog care and know how important it is to go at their pace, on their time. I’ll only take on full-day or overnight pets on my days off, which means they will get my undivided attention. Plenty of bathroom breaks, walks, and love. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my apartment, so just let me know if those aren’t your rules. I live in an apartment with a balcony. There’s plenty of open space in the surrounding area and we’ll go on lots of adventures, as long as it suits your pup! I will always keep your dog on a leash unless you tell me otherwise.

“Vicenza, has been so great with my dog Marley! It takes Marley a long time to warm up to people and to trust them…and Vicenza has managed to do gain her trust in a short period of time.”

“Kimberly was super responsive even at the last minute when I needed to figure out my day. Even though I had never worked with her before and I was a little bit chaotic that day, she made Scout's afternoon feel seamless and easy. It looked like he had a great time too! Thank you Kimberly 🙏🏻”

About: I’ve been taking care of and painting dogs and sometimes cats here and there for almost 4 years now. No professional work, only personal with family and friends. I would care for a dog and cat at Kodama Farm in Washington (My brothers farm). I cared for a 1 year old, husky puppy for 1 whole year, every so often (my sisters dog). I’ve had more friends and family ask me to watch their puppers. In total I’ve been with a golden retriever, black lab, black lab mix, husky, pekingese, french bulldogs and an australian shepherd. Sometimes I even make drawings or paintings of the dogs I’m with! I’m an artist and I’m striving to create a pet portrait business and what better way to get in touch with owners than this app! I work landscape a couple days a week and work late on Sunday doing cleaning for a wedding venue. So I’m pretty free and have high hopes that watching your little friends will keep me busy. If i’m not watching your pet then I hope to be painting/ drawing them! I have a fenced yard with access to go inside and outside whenever they please. I love with my family, my brother has a dog that’s more of a people person than a dog person. Then a cat that is used to other dogs, but he’s still a cat. I’m super close to Waneka Lake and I’m close drive from other various parks or open spaces.

My golden girl LOVES Cole so much! When I leave for work in the morning and tell her “Cole is coming” she does a happy dance and zoomies around looking for him. He takes such good care of her and she can feel the love he has for his clients. My mind rests easy and I can truly focus on work knowing that she is in his care.

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 Lafayette. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.

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 Lafayette. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
