She was very friendly and easy to talk to. She took extra good care of my doggie. He’s super shy and she spent extra time with him trying to make him comfortable. She also gave treats to my kitties! Awesome experience!

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.

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: 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.

About: Booking Note: To ensure the absolute safety and comfort of your pets, a Meet & Greet is strictly required for all first-time clients before a booking can be confirmed. To allow time for this, I require at least 7 days of advanced notice for all housesitting and drop-in requests. Thank you for prioritizing your pet's safety! I’m on a massive mission over the coming months! I’m working every extra hour I can to fund a dream trip to explore the UK. To get there, I’m bringing my 20+ years of pet care experience to your front door.I’ve spent my life caring for cats and dogs, including high-energy breeds like Huskies and Labrador Retrievers. I know that while I’m planning my upcoming travels, your absolute priority is your pet’s safety and routine. I specialize in keeping pets calm, exercised, and consistent while you’re away. By booking with me, you aren't just getting a sitter with decades of hands-on experience—you’re helping me reach a lifelong travel goal! Because I work gig-based security and freelance jobs, I have a unique kind of flexibility that most 9-to-5ers don't! I meticulously plan my schedule in advance, which means when I commit to your pet, they have my undivided attention. I’m not rushing off to an office; I’m there because I want to be. I’m organized, reliable, and dedicated to keeping your pet’s routine consistent—all while I hustle toward my goal of seeing the Sugababes in Wales this July! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow feeding instructions carefully, make sure water is always fresh, and handle litter box or potty breaks consistently. I also spend time giving attention and comfort based on each pet’s personality—whether that’s playtime, walks, or simply being nearby so they feel safe. I always respect the client’s home and keep things clean and organized.

About: I have help out my friends and family for many years with their pets. I have taken care of many puppies and kittens including my own. I am a college student at Colorado Mesa University. I am free to do drop-ins and walks aro my class schedule. During the summer I am free during the day time. I love playing with animals, my dogs like to play hide and seek so it really makes them work their brain as to where I am. I like to follow the route the owners have with the pet so it doesn't stress the animal out if possible.

I can’t express enough how great Annabelle is! I work 12 hr night shifts and she graciously accepted to let my pup out at a late time to help me out. She is punctual and goes above and beyond for my dog! She treats her as if she is her own. I didn’t even ask her but when my grass was wet she wiped her paws before coming in. I highly recommend Annabelle to anyone looking for a dog sitter/walker!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Orchard Mesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Orchard Mesa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Orchard Mesa 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Orchard Mesa. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
