“Anne is lovely, punctual, and communicative, and so patient with our skittish cats. She's managed to befriend one of them! This is the second time we've hired Anne and I'd be delighted to hire her again in the future.”
“Cecily did great with Binx! It was the longest I’ve ever been away from the little guy, and she sat and played with him to keep him company while I was away. Highly recommended her to watch your fur babies!”
About: I’ve grown up with multiple pets (dogs, cats, fish) since I was a kid. As an adult, I’ve lived with various pets and regularly pet sit for friends and family. I currently nanny part-time during the weem, so my schedule is flexible. This provides the ability to do multiple pet check-ins throughout the day and overnight stays if requested. My preference is to take care of your pets at your home, as this environment is familiar and safe for your pets. If that is not an option, I am more than happy to board your pets at my home.
“Annabelle has been great with our skittish cat, Ekko. She’s very patient and kind and makes sure to go at Ekko’s pace. Ekko has started coming out of her shell around Annabelle which is great and makes me feel comfortable leaving Ekko in her care.”
“It will take sometime for Bella to warm up to Lauren and her girls but Angela warm up fast unless Bella started barking then Angela would bark!! We are going to have do a few more meet and greet for Bella to warm up to Lauren but overall we like Lauren and have her come back very soon!!”
“We greatly appreciated Robin's attentive care of our two cats, one of which can be quite a handful. She made sure both of them got the love and attention they needed, for a first-time and fairly last minute booking. We could not be more grateful for her flexibility!”
“Jordan was absolutely incredible with our babies and they loved her as well! She sent multiple photos and updates with every visit and we felt very safe leaving our home and them in her hands. She was wonderful and patient with our dog, who can be quite anxious, and even dedicated additional time before our trip to make sure that he was comfortable with her. We would absolutely recommend her and thank you again for everything!”
About: Hello! I have owned animals my entire life, and I absolutely adore them! I love animals, and spend as much time with them as possible! About this sitter: I have watched pets for coworkers and friends for as long as I can remember. I am reliable, experienced, and passionate. I will love your animals as if they were my own! I have owned dogs, birds, fish, horses, and more! Why I love dog sitting I've been around dogs my entire life, and I adore them! Big, small, they are all adorable. Animals are extremely therapeutic, and they are such good friends. My experience administering medication Not comfortable I work full time so I can care for pets outside of my regular work schedule. I work during the week from 8-5, with weekends off. I care for pets with the love and kindness they deserve. I will always respect your space and your belongings. I have a calm demeanor that animals respond well to.
“Katie was great for our very shy boy. She made friends with him in only a day! She left great details and I felt very relaxed knowing he was well cared for.”
“Catherine was excellent! We love her and so does Kitty. We told Catherine she'd likely never see Kitty when she did her drop in visits for feeding, but Kitty greeted her every day, a sign that Kitty really liked her! Thanks again for everything.”
About: I have been around pets my whole life. I understand wanting your pet to feel safe and happy while you're away. I appreciate written instructions and will follow them precisely! I am a college student so I can drop by in between classes as you need me to. I also own a little fur baby of my own and will love yours just as much. I will make sure they don't feel too anxious, clean up as needed, have plenty of food, cuddles, and affection while you're away from them.
“Kasse is always on time with giving all the love to my furry alligator. She is very professional, while still having fun with a job that should be fun. Second time using her services and will be returning”
“Debra is excellent with our cats. We have two cats that need to be kept apart. One is very social and enjoys people, while the other is shy and hides from almost everyone. She came out of hiding to have her picture taken, and she even gathered the courage to walk past her.”
“Julia was great! She was able to fit us in for home visits for our cat last minute after our pet care unexpectedly fell through and we were left in a tough spot, and she did such an amazing job. She was super patient with our rather grumpy and aloof elderly cat, and it was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. Next time we’re out of town I’ll definitely be checking whether Julia is available to watch him again! Thanks, Julia!”
“Nick was great - although our kitties didn't want to come out to play while he was caring for them, he certainly tried every trick to get them to play! He was very friendly and communicative.”
About: I’m a devoted dog mom with over 13 years of experience caring for two boxer brothers, from wild puppy days to gentle senior care, including medication routines. I’ve been around dogs, cats, and horses most of my life, and I believe every animal deserves care that honors their unique personality and needs. I’m dependable, communicative, and love giving pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I work Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM, with a flexible lunch hour for mid-day drop-in visits. I’m available in the evenings for overnight care during the week, as well as for walks, drop-ins, and overnights on weekends, holidays, and for last-minute needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every environment. I carefully follow each pet’s individual routine and needs to ensure they feel relaxed, secure, and genuinely cared for.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have
Orchard Mesa pet parents share their Rover experiences
Catherine took wonderful care of our Fifi cat and I super appreciated all the photos and updates. Fifi normally does not like strangers but he was open and comfortable with Catherine right away! That in itself made me feel like he would actually enjoy his visits and I worried about him less while I was away.
Melanie was everything I could hope for in a pet sitter! She was timely and followed all instructions, but more than that, her descriptions of the visits showed how much she paid attention to each of my pets and what they needed, like extra snuggles. It was also super easy to communicate with her, and she passed along anything we might need to know while we were gone. I will definitely book her again!
Aaron did a great job with my shy cat. He went out of his way to make him comfortable. For example, he brought some different toys than I had, and left a sweater so my cat could get used to his scent. He took care of the basics very well too. I highly recommend Aaron and plan to use him again.
Abby took the most excellent care of our 2 dogs! We had to go out of town on short notice, and we'd never left our dogs before. She made us feel so comfortable knowing they would get all the love and attention they thrive on. She had awesome input to make them as comfortable as possible. 100% recommended!
Our cats immediately trusted and warmed up to Emma. We appreciated her detailed updates and it meant so much to us to know they were well cared for and played with while we are across the country! We will definitely reach out again in the future when looking for pet sitting help.
Alexandria is awesome! This was our first time leaving our cat home alone and she was very attentive to his needs. She ensured he got plenty of play time, treats, and pets. It was great to get cute pictures of Mole while we were away and I think he did even better home alone thanks to Alexandria checking in on him twice a day. Highly recommend for pet care and will certainly book again when needed!
