“Eleshia did a great job watching over my cat for the weekend! Good communication throughout and even brought in some packages for me! We’ll definitely use her again”
“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 have personal experience with administering topical, injection, and pill medication to cats. As well as i’ve pet sit for families with mixed breeds and animal types. I’ve watched dogs from Pitbull and Pitbull Mastiffs to Huskys to Chihuahuas to new born puppies. I love animals and don’t think I could live without them, while i’m in Grand Junction for school, I’d love to show other animals the love I hold for my own since I cannot see them while I’m here. 😭😭😭 Right now i am working 2 jobs to hold myself up in college here at CMU. I have plenty of afternoon time to help out for date nights or even weekend visits while you’re away. My classes are after 11 right now as well, so I can come early in the morning for food and walks 🩷 I unfortunately live on campus so I can’t bring them home with me, but I would be more than happy to help out at your home and take the pets on walks and feed them regularly. I do have my car and it is big enough for rides too. ❤️
About: Hi there! I’m a college freshman studying nursing, and while I can’t host pets in my dorm, I’d love to put my passion for caregiving and lifelong love for animals into looking after your pup. As a nursing major, I bring responsibility, patience, and strong attention to detail to every visit. Caring for others is what I’m best at — whether that’s people or pets. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, including an energetic Australian Shepherd mix and a sweet Wheaten Terrier–Poodle mix. Because of that, I’m comfortable with all energy levels, sizes, personalities, and quirks. Shy dogs, high‑energy pups, seniors, and everything in between — I meet them where they’re at. What I Offer 30‑Minute Dog Walks: A refreshing walk around your neighborhood or a nearby trail to give your pup exercise, stimulation, and a happy break in their day. 30‑Minute Drop‑Ins: Perfect for potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your pup will always receive safe, attentive, and loving care, and you’ll get reliable communication and updates every step of the way. I’d be honored to care for your dog and help make your life a little easier. As a full‑time college student, I prioritize my classes and coursework, but I have plenty of availability in between classes and during afternoons. I’m typically free on weekdays after 11 am, with additional openings throughout the day depending on my class schedule. I’m also available on some weekends for walks or drop‑ins. My routine is flexible, and I make sure pet care fits smoothly around my school commitments, so your pup always receives dependable attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort. I follow your instructions closely, keep environments clean, ensure fresh water, and maintain secure entryways. I approach every visit with the same responsibility and attention to detail I bring to my nursing studies, giving your pet calm, dependable care.
About: I am a lifetime animal lover with experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have pet-sit for friends and family for 15 years and have always been known to be someone they can trust to take care of their animals. I currently have a senior dog so I know the extra care that goes into taking care of older dogs, but he was high energy for most of his life so I am accustomed to keeping dogs active and mentally stimulated as needed to keep them happy. Rover is my full time job so my full attention will be taking care of your pup. Whatever their needs, I can meet them! I will typically schedule visits, walks, and playtime between the hours of 7am and 5pm but can adjust based on the needs of your pet. If they need to be let out right before bed, need medication at specific hours, or anything else, we can make it work! I will care for your pup just like they're my own, completely tailoring my visit to whatever makes them happiest; whether you have a high energy dog who loves endless belly rubs and playtime or they’re shy and just want a quiet buddy to sit with them. I also treat your home with total respect, keeping their exact feeding, walking, and house routines on track so they stay stress-free while you're away. If wanted, I will make sure to send regular pictures and updates so you can rest assured that your dog is being well cared for.
“Yvette is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond with caring for my dad's dog. She has true compassion, patience and a true understanding about the needs and care for not only someone's pet/ pets but for the owners as well. I highly recommend her. 🐾”
“So incredibly happy with the services. I can feel confident and know that my cat is taken care each time Anastasia looks after him. Would recommend to anyone wanting peace of mind when needing a sitter.”
About: I have cared for my own pets for decades. I have sat with dogs from puppies to seniors. I love to calm their nerves and give them tactile care. I am currently retired and this has been goal for years to spend these years caring for others loved ones (pet) so they can travel. I lost my beloved Willis in June and decided to care for others pets to bring some joy I will be caring for pets in their own environment and will follow the owners instructions as to their care and safety. Any special needs will be followed per the owners instructions. My Willis was blind and diabetic for the last five years of his life.
About: All-Around Animal Lover! From cats and dogs to fluffy rabbits, I’ve cared for them all. I’m happy to help with long walks, nail trims, tidy bathroom cleanups, and even medication routines. Your sweet pets will get tons of love, care, and quality attention every single visit! I'm currently available during the weekdays and love taking new furry friends on walks, runs and play days in the park. Willing to do weekly walks as will as random requests day to day. When it comes to walking, I always like to pick safe trails and paths. Days at the park are always dog and furry friends' friendly areas.
“Emily was fantastic with Olive! I booked her last minute, and she was communicative throughout the whole process. While I was away, she provided updates on Olive with photos and suggestions (like leaving the TV on) to make my pup more comfortable while alone. I felt confident that Olive was in great hands while I was away. I would 100% have Emily watch Olive again in the future!”
“Bethany went above and beyond with our dog and cat over the holidays! She is very communicative and always sent multiple photos each visit. She visited 3 times per day, even on Christmas, to make sure they were happy and content. I would definitely recommend her to care for your pets. We are very appreciative since it’s always a little scary to leave them for so long but Bethany made it stress-free. Will definitely use her services again in the future.”
About: I grew up with several dogs growing up. Now I have my own best friend who’s a lab mix. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them! They make me happy! It would be a privilege to care for your dog or cat while you’re away from home. I’m currently self employed and work part time. This gives me flexibility in caring for your pet. When I care for your pet my life will revolve around their needs and schedule. I want you to rest assured that your pet will be loved and cared for when you’re away. I will follow your rules and guidelines for your pet. Each home and pet needs vary. I’m here to give trusted love and support for your pet while you’re away.
About: I have four dogs, and two cats. I treat all pets as if my own kids. I am good at potty training if needed, and special diets or any meds they need to take. I can take care of guinea pigs as well. I have owned them before. I will NOT watch a dog over 50-60 pds max. The only times I am away from home is usually for doctor appts. I am available for emergency situations as well. I know people don't think about that so its good to have a plan just incase the unfortunate happens, and u need me to go pick up the furbaby and bring them to my house until you are able to care for them. Know they will be safe and loved. I have a fenced backyard, as well as four dogs that would keep them company, and play with them while they are here. I can feed them separately as well. In your home I will make sure they are safe and can't get out and get lost. I have never lost a pet in my care.
“Shelby took great care of our cat who needs some extra attention, including daily medication and has a bit of separation anxiety. We appreciated the photos she sent and comments about how he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend Shelby and look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“We are so thankful we met Whitney. Our dog loved her right away and she was so kind. We knew we could count on her and she always went above and beyond. We will definitely be using her again.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Orchard Mesa is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 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 November 2026, there are 277 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 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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
