About: I’ve been pet sitting for family and friends for a few years now, it’s one of my favorite past times. I have a very sweet and energetic cat named Ebony. I form a bond with most pets I take care of because I give them a lot of attention, I respect them, I take time to get to know your pets’ personalities, and I listen to how their owners want their pets treated and trained. My favorite activities to do with dogs are going on hikes and playing fetch. I love giving cats cuddles and letting them relax with me while watching shows and movies. I’m a natural animal lover and will put my heart into making sure your furry family members are happy and healthy! If you need me with your pet 24/7 and don’t want them left alone, I can watch them on Saturdays, and Sundays. If your pet can be alone part/ most of the day, I can be a lot more available. I can do overnights any day of the week. Usually I do not house sit or pet sit on holidays. If I am available on a holiday, rates will be a little bit higher. Glance at my calendar to see which holidays I can accommodate for, typically it will be the minor ones. I keep my calendar updated 1 month in advance (current month and the month after). If you need to book with me further in advance, my calendar may not reflect an accurate availability so go ahead and message me! :) I will be able to take care of your pets in your home, I can’t watch them in my home. Thank you for your understanding!

About: I love spending time with dogs and making sure they receive the care they need. I have experience raising two dogs, volunteering at the humane society, and am great with interacting with dogs of all ages and sizes. I would love to do lots of walking / hiking if your pets enjoy that. I am very excited to become a sitter/walker on Rover as this is a great way to spend more time with dogs when their owners are away. I especially love playing with puppies and will make sure any pet is receiving the love they deserve! I am willing to accommodate prices depending on the situation as I am very flexible. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter/walker. I look forward to it!

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Cats are my specialty, I absolutely love them and I swear they can sense it and love me too. I’m very good with dogs as well, I’ve never not had a dog in my home until now, so i’m hoping to get a doggy fix soon. I’m currently a stay at home mom with a 20 month old baby boy, he comes everywhere with me when his dads not home so the animal will have to be trusted to be around him, and I’ll trust the owner to know if that’s safe or not. My boy absolutely loves animals too and listens extremely well. I’m very good about following the instructions you provide. I love playing with animals and I can still provide them with whatever daily exercise and routine they might need with my boy right by my side 🫶

About: I have helped my family foster over 30 dogs in 10 years. I have handled all kinds of dogs, including a mom and her 8 puppies. I have also cared for other types of animals like cats, chickens, Guinea pigs, hamsters, bearded dragons, and geckos. This allows me to take care of your animals properly and love them all equally. I have also taken shelter dogs out during my free time, and take them on walks, give them love and a break from the shelter. I am a college student so I have an open schedule. I can take dogs during evenings, holidays, and weekends. And I can take last minute bookings! I have love and kindness for all animals. I will love your pet as if they are my own. My fostering experience has given me the opportunity to work with dogs of all personalities including shy, timid, scared and hyperactive dogs, and work on building trust with them. As well, I have experience with dogs with different medical conditions and can give oral medicine.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and trained vet tech with hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and both saltwater and freshwater fish. As a mother of three and the proud owner of 5 cats and 2 dogs, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I bring patience, reliability, and a calm, compassionate approach to every visit. I specialize in drop-ins and overnight care in your home, helping pets stay comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar environment. I’m also available for holiday pet care, so families can travel with peace of mind knowing their pets are being loved and cared for like my own. Caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I’m available in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays, which lets me give pets consistent attention and companionship. Whether it’s a walk to start the day or a cozy check‑in at night, I make pet care a natural part of my routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I focus on keeping pets comfortable in their own home. I follow their normal schedule, meals, walks, medication, playtime, and quiet time, so everything feels familiar and stress‑free for them. I’m attentive to safety, always checking doors, gates, and surroundings, and I keep their space clean and calm. When I stay overnight, I make sure they have steady companionship and a peaceful environment. I also send regular updates and photos so owners always feel connected and confident while they’re away.

Ella is five star. She was calm with our hyper dog, charlie liked her right away. She handled his energy perfectly, even got Charlie to calm down during the walk. She communicated with us, was patient and kind with Charlie, definitely recommend. Charlie is a German Shorthaired Pointer about 50lbs 9yrs old but never really lost his puppy energy. Thank you so much Ella!

Nicholas has been a great addition to our "Weekly Rover Walker's". Because I'm not able to walk her myself I rely on Nicholas to care for Xena as he would his own. He's included her in hikes with his own 2 dogs which is helpful for her to part of a pack & get to know some of his own family. Walks with Nicholas have been guaranteed to cover ~3 miles/hr. Xena definitely seems to benefit being a high energy gal herself!

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 Orchard Mesa. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Orchard Mesa after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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 , 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 .

  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers 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 walker.
