“We are so appreciative that Curtis took care of our pups, Koa and Leo, during a family wedding. Curtis is super organzied - asks all the questions on things I forgot to share. I would never hesitate to have him be our Rover favorite dog caregiver. Thank you so much, Curtis!!”
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 have experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, and other pets in our home since I was 10. I currently have an 8.5 y/o black lab border collie mix who is very active and is a people's dog not a dog's dog. That said, I can comfortably care for reactive dogs and cats with ease and empathy. I work full-time but my schedule is flexible. I will make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, play time and attention! I am used to caring for active dogs. I know our pets can be most comfortable at home so I am happy to stay with them at your home. I will treat your home as my own and leave it better than I found it.
“Becky took great care of our cat while we were away. Our senior girl has a multi step medication routine that Becky followed carefully. We came home to a calm, happy cat, so I know she got lots of love and attention.”
“Brianna was extremely helpful and professional in watching my dog, Peaches! She kept me updated on how Peaches was doing and sent me photos. She arrived promptly and was such a help in letting out and feeding my dog.”
About: 😸 IMPORTANT: Hi, please call me Ollie! Aitana is my legal name, and I don’t use it.😸 ❤️🌱 My goal as a pet sitter is to adapt to your needs — communication, pictures, tailored care, the works! The services I provide will give you peace of mind to take that trip, get lots of work done, or just go about your life 🌱❤️ 🐾 My dog, Tyson, has been in my life for over twelve years now. Seeing his health flourish even while entering his senior years has solidified what true care of an animal can accomplish. Equally, my two kitties that have now crossed the rainbow bridge, Chata and Cleo, have provided me with an upbringing of consistent and loving cat care. I will put as much love and effort into your pet as I do into mine! 🐾 📚🎓 As a Psychology student at SNHU who is on track to become a Licensed Professional Counselor, I have studied in a field that values observation, insight, and empathy above all else. While your pet may not be able to have a conversation with me in so many words, I know they will tell me in their own way! By diving into their world (and yours), I feel confident in creating a unique bond and experience for each family! 🎓📚 😸Hi, please call me Ollie!😸 🥳✏️I am currently studying fully online, so my schedule is very flexible. For all-day or overnight stays, I have a 3-hour policy to tend to my personal everyday needs, such as appointments or errands. I can split this time up into smaller increments if your pet needs consistent company. I’m a non-smoker who enjoys creating both a calm and playful environment. As for dog walking, and knowing Colorado weather, I provide about a 30 min walk in the morning and the evening to stay safe from the heat. I’m open to extended stay and constant care. ✏️🥳 🏃♀️➡️My services are best suited for low-to-medium energy pets. I offer unlimited play and two 30-minute walks per day, but I do not offer hikes or runs.🏃♀️➡️ 🫀⛑️ I prioritize safety above all else. I am a nonsmoker, and I generally don’t consume alcohol (never while working). I don’t own any weapons. I feel comfortable acting quickly in an emergency and staying alert to anything that may become dangerous (stove, oven, electrical sockets, locking doors). As a former medical assistant, I am also comfortable with medical needs of pets. 🫀⛑️ 🤞 I’m always conscious of body language, signs of discomfort or pain, and the personal boundaries and comfort of each pet. I’m committed to maintaining the privacy and security of clients — no guests unless specifically allowed, no sharing of personal information. 🤞
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.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Louisville
Sarah took amazing care of our two Great Danes on the evening of our wedding! This was our first time booking with her, and we’re so grateful for the care she gave Gracie and Walter. She even cleaned up Walter’s bed after he destroyed it, which was so thoughtful and appreciated! Knowing our pups were in good hands let us relax and enjoy our wedding without worrying. Thank you, Sarah, for helping make our day stressfree! We would happily book with her again.
Excellent experience! Alycia was on time, responsive, and reliable. She took excellent care of our senior dog, who has limited mobility and medication needs. Our shy cat loved her too and came out to play and socialize. We are so grateful for her attentive care and would happily book with her again.
Rachael takes wonderful care of our Leo! 🐈⬛ He’s always so happy, well rested, and well fed when we return after her visits. She gives great detailed updates and always listens to ours & Leo’s silly requests. ☺️ We hope to always have her available to visit Leo! ✨
Ella is going to be such a great addition to our sweet pup’s care! We prearranged some drop in visits in October but needed a last minute fill in this morning and she was so kindly willing to help us out a week early. Got some adorable photos throughout her visit and can tell our sweet Pickle loved spending time with her. We are so grateful!
Ariane was great with both of my kitties! She showed up consistently and sent pictures after each visit. She followed all of the instructions I left and reached out for clarification as needed, which I really appreciated. I hope she will be available when I take my next trip out of town! Thank you, Ariane!

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.
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 .

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
