“I’m so appreciative of Annabelle! She was happy to help when I needed a last minute sitter for my cats over the holidays and provided great communication throughout the whole process. It was such a relief to know the kitties were under such great care! Would definitely recommend!”

“We are very happy to have found Christine. Our cat is super shy with strangers and usually hides from them but he actually showed up and said hi to her within the first meeting. He was as affectionate with her as he is to us. She maintained our cat’s health and emotions. She perfectly excuted things we asked for and kept us updated with photos and videos of our cat every day. She even helped us with other things like watering plants and picking up mail. I can say she is special and a cat whisperer. Maybe Jackson Galaxy level of mastermind. I’m sure she is good with dogs as well. She will be our regular cat sitter. Highly recommended.”

About: I’ve had cats and interacted with dogs my whole life. I have been house/pet sitting for friends and family since I was 12 and have cared for many different pet households. I have bathed and medicated multiple different dogs and cats and walked dozens of dogs. I’m currently available 24/7 for visits, dog walking, and house sitting. My schedule is very flexible and i’m willing to work odd hours if needed. I love meeting new animals and am always careful with nervous pets. I am great at following instructions and always respectful of pets and belongings.

About: **I’ve got you with the photo/text updates ALWAYS** I’ve taken care of ALL types of animals (pets, exotic, farm, reptiles, birds) since I was a little kid! I partially grew up on a farm, and have lots of experience handling and caring for animals. I have no issues with breaking up animal conflict, administering medication, and am hardworking individual. I currently am the proud mother of one leopard gecko and cat! Please reach out for any pet needs! Let’s set it up! Let’s communicate! I am an athletic trainer at the university. My schedule can be a bit chaotic, so jobs that are requested at least 1-2 weeks in advance will work the best for us. I have a flexible day to day schedule, but would NOT be appropriate for families who need constant care/oversight. I would love to talk more about setting up dates/times that work for us and your pet!!!! When I am housesitting, I make sure to try and maintain as normal of a schedule, environment, and atmosphere as possible. I maintain respectful boundaries to the animal — as it is their house too!

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for pets throughout my life, including cats growing up and currently two dogs of my own. I’m very familiar with daily care routines such as feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and behavior monitoring. I enjoy being active with dogs through walks and play, whether that’s structured walks, backyard play, or just giving them attention and enrichment so they stay happy and stimulated. I understand that every pet has different energy levels and needs, and I adjust care accordingly. I’m also comfortable with basic pet care needs, including administering oral medications and supporting pets with special routines or recovery needs, as long as it falls within standard, non-veterinary care guidelines. I’m very detail-oriented and always follow instructions closely to make sure pets stay safe, comfortable, and on schedule. Overall, I’m confident with both dogs and cats of all temperaments and prioritize calm, consistent, and reliable care so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I already care for my doggos at home regularly so it is a natural part of my daily routine. I work mon- Thursday so I'm free friday- Sunday afternoon o care for your animals Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, pets will have a calm, clean environment with supervision and plenty of attention. I maintain a structured routine with feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also have two friendly dogs, so visiting pets will be in a real home setting with normal household activity, and I always make sure introductions and space are managed safely. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions exactly as provided, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, litter box care, and any special routines. I’m respectful of the home, keep things tidy, and make sure pets feel secure and not disrupted while their owners are away. In both settings, I pay close attention to behavior and health changes and communicate updates so owners always know how their pets are doing.

“Patricia is an excellent communicator and very dependable. She was very kind and loving to our pups. She played frisbee with our very energetic Border Collies, took them for walks, and on a day when it was too hot for frisbee, she spent time playing with them indoors. The younger pup was having a difficult time with his first-ever overnight without his people. She gave him extra loving care. I would highly recommend Patricia.”

About: I've been taking care of pets for most of my life. I worked at a doggie daycare & boarding business for a couple of years. I'm now going out on my own and would love to take care of your fur babies while you're out. I've been around all breeds and sizes and understand their many different traits and personalities. I love playtime and walking. It is as much fun for me as it is for them. I've administered meds and worked specifically with dogs that needed specialized medical attention. Communication is important to me, as it is to you, so please let me know what you expect. No detail is too small. I can provide updates and photos if you request it; otherwise, I will not take up any of your time while you're away unless a concern arises. I love snuggles and look forward to making your fur babies feel as comfortable and happy as possible. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life! I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping a good routine. I love being around animals and easily fit pet care into my day. I try to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I follow instructions carefully, give lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also send updates so owners know their pets are doing great!

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Orchard Mesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Orchard Mesa is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 278 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Orchard Mesa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

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 .

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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
