About: I've been caring for animals for years, including my own two cats plus a family tortoise and helping look after other pets for friends and family. I understand that every animal has a different personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I'm dependable, patient, and attentive to details like feeding schedules, exercise needs, and giving pets plenty of affection and attention. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. As a cat owner, I'm used to feeding, cleaning litter boxes, monitoring behavior, and making time for play and attention every day. I have a flexible schedule and can reliably fit pet visits into my week. This is my first season using rover as I am getting ready to go to college in August. I was hoping to take care of some pets and help families as a side job this summer! My goal is to provide reliable care and give owners peace of mind while they're away.
“Ashlee has been great! On time, dependable, communicative. Our lab warmed right up Ashlee and I could tell he was in good hands with Ashlee. I would recommend Ashlee.”
“Megan was a 5 star sitter for us! She watched our elderly cat while we were on vacation (2 drop ins a day) and even administered her meds twice daily. Her updates for every drop in were perfect and she followed directions to a T. She even brought in our packages and garbage cans for us. We will definitely book with her again. Thanks for everything, Megan! Ginger looked very happy and well cared for when we arrived home. 🥰”
“Shelley did an awesome job of making friends with Oliver. Oliver is a very shy pup and yet Shelley was able to get him to go outside with her. Shelley sent pictures of Oliver to let me know that she had been here for her visit. It was great having her check on Oliver and I look forward to having her back again! Deborh”
About: I am a lifetime pet owner, and pet lover. I have experience with both dogs and cats. I'm available to be your fur-baby’s drop-in grandmother. I am a local retired elementary teacher. I continue to serve the Castle Rock/Larkspur/Franktown community by substitute teaching, tutoring, house cleaning, and pet sitting. I live nearby, and my daily schedule is adjusted to meet the needs of my clients. My visits begin with a calm, friendly greeting, followed by playtime, cuddles, and ear or belly scritches. I will feed and give meds as needed. I will walk your pet, or play in the yard. I can also bring in the mail/packages, or water plants or do other simple quick tasks if you need me to. I can give you photo updates, or a text. I will check the environment to make sure that your pet is safe before I leave.
“Alyssa took great care of my babies when I was away, she is quick to answer back and I loved getting all the pictures! 10/10 would recommend anyone book with her, and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future”
About: Animals have always been one of the biggest joys in my life. I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities - from playful kittens and energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and love. In addition to having my own wonderful pack at home, I’ve fostered animals for the Humane Society and volunteered with local rescues. Those experiences have taught me that every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and what help them feel safe and happy! I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs and cats and understand the gentle care, patience, and attention they deserve. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, medication or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, Ill care for them as if they were my own. I am a stay at home mom to two boys, I stay very active outside and I am always around for you pets needs. Pet care is a perfect fit for my schedule. I understand having a stranger in your home can be stressful. I think a meet and greet before had is a great idea to put you and your animals at ease. I am very respectful of your space and home.

About: I spend my days providing hospice care at Pepper's Senior Dog Sanctuary, so I know how precious every moment with your pup is. With 6 years of experience including daycare management, dog training, and medical care (CPR, first aid, and triage). I'm equipped to handle puppies, seniors, and pups with diabetes or epilepsy and many more conditions. I use only positive reinforcement and treat every dog like family. My availability: Open Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays; Thursdays after 12 PM. (I work 12-hour shifts Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, so I'm unavailable those days unless you need late night or early morning care) I have my own pride and joy, Stubby Chubby, who keeps me company on my days off, but he prefers to be the only dog, so I don't offer in-home services. Instead, I'll come to you and treat your home like it's my own (but better, because I'll leave it cleaner than I found it!). Your dog's safety, comfort, and joy are my top priority. Have questions? Feel free to reach out about my schedule, experience, care approach, or anything else I'm happy to chat and make sure we're the perfect fit for your pup! I work 12-hour shifts 3x a week at Pepper's Senior Dog Sanctuary, but I'm blessed with a 3-day weekend and a short Thursday shift—leaving me open Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursday afternoons to care for your pup with the same dedication I give my seniors. At Pepper's, I administer medications to 20+ dogs every week, pills, eye drops, insulin shots, you name it. I'm no stranger to meds. The pups there receive around the clock care, meals, and love, and I work alongside a vet team daily with training in emergencies, first aid, CPR, and behavioral challenges. At home, my own medically compromised pup, Stubby Chubby, keeps me on my toes too so the care doesn't stop when I clock out. What I do is hard work, but I love every minute of it and wouldn't ask to be doing anything else.
“Kiersten is absolutely amazing with our doggie! She is so patient with her, doesn’t mind her crazy energy, and is a great reinforcement during this period of training her. I would absolutely recommend her and trust her with anyone’s dog!”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Larkspur stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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 sitter.
