“Chelsea is AMAZING! She did a great job and allowed us to enjoy our trip without any worries. We would definitely recommend her and we will definitely use them again.”
“Genna took wonderful care of my 2 cats while I was out of the country. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure everything was going well while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable sitter.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats ever since I was born, and have continued to surround myself with them into my adult life. I frequently help out at shelters and have recently branched out to start cat and dog-sitting. I also have two feline friends of my own, who I have had for around three years now :) I take care of my cats throughout the day (feeding, cleaning, and playing with them). This is easy to fit into my work schedule as I work remotely. And with this added flexibility, comes the ability to look after other pets as well! I have plenty of of experience dog and cat sitting, and like to spend lots of time with the animals I stop in to look after. I’m responsible when it comes to feeding pets strictly what the owner says and respect any rules they put in place regarding their pets. I’m readily available to chat over the phone and am happy to send update pictures throughout the day.
“Kristen is very patient with my dog, who can be a bit wiggy on walks when he sees other dogs. She is very experienced,and therefore, knows how to handle him. I'm very appreciative of her style and experience.”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats in both Florida and Ohio. While I’m new to the Longmont area, I’m not new to pet care, and I’m looking forward to meeting pets and their owners here in Colorado. Whether your furry companion thrives on high-energy walks or quiet home companionship, I tailor each visit to match their routine and personality. I am recently retired, so I have plenty of time to walk your dogs or make drop-in visits to play and care for them in your home. I am available both weekdays and weekends. I’m comfortable and familiar with dogs of all sizes, from small companions to big, energetic dogs that love the outdoors. Whether your dog needs an easy neighborhood stroll, a longer walk, or just some extra attention and companionship, I’ll tailor each visit to their age, personality, energy level, and normal routine.
“Otelia was such a great Rover! I had such an easy experience. She is very communicative which helped alleviate any anxiety I felt about leaving my kitty. She even left me a handwritten note at the end!”
“We hired Falecia to check in on our six year old kitty while we were out of town. Falecia does a wonderful job, from providing clear and detailed updates to making sure our girl is cared for while we're away.”
About: My name is Margo, but you can also call me Margaret. I’ve taken care of many dogs and other pets in Denver and now in the Boulder area. I have pets of my own and grew up with animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I love spending time with animals at home and exploring the outdoors with them. I work from home most days with a flexible schedule, so I can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I take daily walks, attend dog meetups, and enjoy an active lifestyle on weekends. I offer both boarding in my home and house sitting in your home. For boarding, your dog has access to my fenced yard and nearby dog parks. For house sitting, I spend most of my time at your home and follow your pet’s normal routine while giving them plenty of attention and companionship.
About: I’ve been taking care of other people’s pets since I was 15, and working on Rover for about a year and a half. I know how important our fur families are and would love to be there to support your dog(s) and/or cat(s) while you are away. I have experience with multiple breeds of dogs, such as Pit Bulls, Greyhounds, German Shepherds, Shih Tzus, Beagles, Golden-Doodles, Schnauzers, Chihuahuas and all sorts of mixed-breeds. All ages welcome, as I have experience working with dogs from ~3 months to 16 years old. Additionally, I have experience working with dogs and cats with disabilities and special needs, such as blindness, deafness, heart murmurs, joint issues, hip dysplasia, and thyroid conditions. I’m experienced in providing oral medication, eye drops, and vitamins/supplements. I am highly attuned to the ways pets express their feelings of joy, love, and fear. I use this knowledge to support my care for them and am responsive to the ways they communicate their comfort levels. My main goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pets to thrive while you are away. I care for the animals I sit for as if they were mine! I know the pet parent’s experience is just as important and send pictures, videos, and detailed updates daily to ensure they know their families are getting amazing care while they’re away. I work from home and can easily transition my workstation to any place necessary. Most of my plans I have are flexible and local. I love going on walks and spending time at home reading/crafting. I update my calendar regularly on Rover to ensure it’s correct for ease of use. I am happy to provide care in client’s homes and keep it clean as if it were my own place. The families I work with often comment I left their homes cleaner than when they left. I’m happy to help water plants, grab mail, take out the trash, bring in packages, and anything else that helps take care of your home while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can easily keep your fur babies on their feeding, walking, and bathroom schedules.
“Sarah is amazing with our boys!! They gather around her and stay by her side during every visit and her photos are amazing. She cleaned up little cat messes even though we said not to worry about it and noticed the neighbors putting out the trash so asked if we needed the same. She is attentive, kind, and the best sitter we’ve ever had. The cats were so happy when we got home!! Thank you, Sarah!”
About: Hi! My name is Marion. I have always loved dogs, and have one lovely pup of my own, Summit. She is the tan dog in the photos. She is 7 years old, and very dog friendly. She loves to play, but knows boundaries and is happy to cuddle on the couch as well. I have a very large, high-fenced yard that is great for the dogs, and I also walk my dogs 2x daily and take them to the dog park or open space 1-2x per week. I am a runner, so I could gladly run with your dog if you would like. Dogs of all sizes are welcome in my home! I grew up with Great Danes and am very comfortable around big dogs, and my house is very open so there is a lot of room. I look forward to meeting you and your doggos! I am experience with senior and medical pets as well and am comfortable caring for your medically needing fur babies. Behavioral issues or nervous dogs don’t scare me, I have fostered 50+ dogs over the years and am happy to be accommodating. I work from home 90% of the time and am only gone from the home for 2-4 hours at a time to visit my clients. I have a furbo in my home to check in on dogs when I am not at home, and can make my schedule work for someone needing 24/7 observation as long as I have notice. I have multiple spaces in my home if our dogs need to be separated as well.
“Lisa was an outstanding cat sitter. She took time to get to know our 2 cats individually and made sure they had plenty of attention and stimulation. She communicated wonderfully with photos and comments about how our cats were doing. She followed our instructions perfectly. She simply did a fantastic job!”
About: I grew up with many animals in the house including cats, dogs, rodents, birds, fish, and more! When my parents were away I had a lot of responsibility taking care of the family pets. I have also house sat for many friends and neighbors. I'm very reliable when it comes to taking care of animals and watching over the house. I won't leave your animal for more than 4 hours, and I will pay attention to their behavior to make sure your animal is okay. I also like to send photos and give updates to owners for reassurance. Right now I'm currently going to college for my nursing prerequisites. I only have one in person class at 6:00-7:15pm on Mondays and Wednesdays, which gives me a lot of free time during the day. I don't like to leave any animal home for too long, so I will mostly be at home giving your fur baby company. I always make sure to give adequate potty breaks and play time. Im also sure to keep up on any medications or special diets as needed. I'm good about taking dogs for long walks, and keeping the litter box clean for cats (scooping everyday). I'm very accommodating with what you need me to do, so just ask! :)
About: I volunteered at the humane society for 2 years and regularly house sit for a family with a farm. I enjoy caring for animals, especially dogs! ***DAY OCCUPATION WORK SCHEDULE 7:45am-4:15pm M-F*** Beginning July 2025, I only service the areas of Boulder, Niwot, Gunbarrel and Hygiene. I am available for overnights and weekends! Midday check-ins are available for North Boulder clients. If not in North Boulder, booking with me is reasonable if dogs have outdoor access throughout the day. I treat other people’s pets with the utmost care that I treat my own. Dogs will get at least 1 walk per day with playtime, also will bathe if needed. Close attention will be paid to food, watering and medication needs as well.
About: I enjoy spending time with dogs. Walking, talking and caring for animals are my thing. I am a certified dog trainer. I believe that dogs are a great calming, loving energy that should be shared with ourselves and with others. I will care for your dog as if he/she were my own. I think that dogs need to be in a comfortable, fear free environment when their owners are not home. I take note of anxiety and fear within a dog when he/she is left in a new and strange place. I think dogs should be encouraged to trust their caregiver. Walking everyday in a safe and friendly neighborhood is one great way in reducing stress and anxiety. I want the dogs I care for to feel safe, calm and fear free. My son attends online school so we are home majority of the time. We have a lot of time to spend loving on your pooch! I live in an apartment with no fenced yard. I am homeschooling my daughter during the week so I am home majority of the day.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Niwot is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Niwot
Sue was terrific! She handled our senior dog's medication regimen very well and took him for walks everyday. We never once worried about him while we were gone. Appreciated the daily photos and updates about his finicky eating habits. If we go out of town again, Sue is definitely at the top of our dog sitter list ! Thanks Sue !!!
Joanie was just wonderful with our dog, Arlow. She was attentive and responsible and really earned both Arlows and our trust. She is so sweet and reliable and we can’t wait to have her back as our sitter! I really felt like i could sit back and enjoy our vacation knowing Joanie was taking care of our puppers. 🖤 10/10
My boys have unique medication needs. Sing was so detail oriented and took notes of everything. I felt so confident knowing she'd take great care of them. Normally I'm nervous when I leave my boys but not this time. She took such great care of them and the boys adore her. I think she's the best sitter I ever had. You can trust your dogs to her, they will be in the most excellent hands
Anna is Stella’s new best friend!!! Anna is very sweet and flexible for our needs which was extremely reassuring while we were traveling. The weather was too cold for walks so she just came and hung out with Stella, gave her the supplements she needs, and was just there for Stella to do whatever Stella wanted to do, which was most likely play fetch inside or snuggle. We’ve already book Anna for our next trip out of town!!!

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 Niwot 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.
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 Niwot 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Niwot with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
