“Ross had a hard time adjusting and didn't feel completely comfortable. Despite that, Cambria was very patient with him and did her best to make him feel cared for. I appreciate the time and effort she put into looking after him.”
“Was our first time using Chloe and she stayed 4 days with our fur baby! We were so happy with her and she spoiled him with daily walks, cuddles and playtime! She sent pictures of him and he always looked so happy with her. She went beyond what we asked and came home to a happy boy and a clean house. ( which wasn’t expected)”
“I can't speak more highly of Kendall. She took care of our 4 year old lab for 10 days while we were on vacation, she stayed at our condo during that time. We had a meet and greet beforehand. She was communicative and checked in with us twice a day. She sent pictures and an update on how the day was going. I felt like I could actually enjoy my vacation knowing that our dog was in such good hands. Our condo was clean and tidy when we got home and, most importantly, our dog was relaxed and happy.”
“Macy did an awesome job. Our senior dog Layla required extra attention with medications and Macy did it without hesitation. Everyone loved her, one of our dogs Bailey has separation anxiety and she warmed to Macy immediately. We were gone for 6 nights and Bailey slept with Macy every night, which made us happy. Our Riley would lean against her like he does with us when playing. Bentley and Bailey played ball with her like crazy. She left the home clean and neat just as when she arrived. She did a marvelous job, we can't say enough good things. We will definitely book with her again.”
“It was immediately obvious that Amy has had dogs in her entire life. Both of my pups immediately loved her as if they had been good buddies forever. DOGS JUST KNOW! Jojo, the 1 year old Cocker Spaniel, always freaks out with new people, but not with Amy. The 6 1/2 year old German Shepherd, Princess, acted like she had known Amy her whole life.”
About: I’ve have taken care of dogs ever since I was a teenager. I love taking care of dogs they bring me such a joy. I know that each dog has their own personality and I love seeing them shine in there own ways. I have taken care of dogs as young as 6 months old to dogs that are 9 years old. I know that senior dogs definitely need more attention when it comes to potty breaks. I also have changed dog diapers. I also grown up with large dog breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweilers and Huskies. I have also taken care of small dogs such as toy poodles, schnauzer and pekingese. I currently work as a property manager for an Airbnb that runs within my home. Which gives me the flexibility to watch pets. I understand that each pet has their own needs and I want to do what’s best for them. I’m very fortunate to have a fully fence, home, and a separate backyard for my pets and yours. My dogs have their own space and your pet will be staying with me so I can watch them.
“Esther gave us the valuable gift of peace of mind during our Labor Day weekend getaway. She was very respectful of our home and she was attentive to our furry boy Jeff. She sent pictures of their walks and also pictures of him finally coming around to having a new face in his space. Jeff was happy to see us when we got home, but I also suspect he misses Esther. We will definately be searching for Esther on Rover for our next getaway.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life, mostly dogs i love dogs so MUCH, i don’t see them as pets i see them all as best friends and therapy. they’re so nice and loving and forgiving and cuddly, I’m patient with these little angels and i have experience pet sitting and doing minor training with them! I’m working sort of a part time job And am off Wednesday, and Weekends. I can dog walk anytime after 6:00pm on weekdays. So being productive will help me with new responsibilities and things for me to learn about different breeds of dogs! ill take care of your pets as if they’re my own, show them the love they need as if they’re owner never left!
About: Growing up with dogs has left me with some great experience from dog walking and playtime to feeding and administering medicine. Of course your pup will get the best treatment but that comes with a good eye. I believe that I am great at understanding their needs based off their behavior, age, and energy level. Accommodating to their needs won’t be an issue. When caring for your pup overnight, nothing will change when it comes to giving them my full attention and making sure their needs are met. When caring for my dog Max in his last years he developed a cough which required extra care such as giving medication at late hours or simply being in their presence with some scratches. This experience taught me the importance of caring for an aging dog, being patient, attentive and compassionate. I promise I will care for yours as if they were my own! Thank you 😊 I am currently working full time although I will be available for night walks after 6pm on weekdays (Monday-Thursday) and boarding on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I can offer your pups toys and attention, whether it be in or outdoors. Whatever special request you have I would do my best to achieve. I only wish to create a happy and safe environment for them 😄
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have always loved being around animals! I also have experience caring for family and friends’ dogs, whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll treat your loved one with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. I can’t wait to meet your pup and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! I currently work remotely during Monday and most of Tuesday. I have a flexible schedule where I can be present on a consistent basis after 3pm. I am off on the weekends or will work shorter shifts. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow your instructions closely, maintain their normal routines, and keep their environment safe and comfortable. I’ll ensure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, and make sure they always have access to fresh water. I’ll also be mindful of potential hazards, keep food and medications safely stored, and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease knowing your fur baby is in loving, responsible hands!
About: I've dog sat for friends for several years and had a variety of pets growing up. I'm good at following directions for a specific pet's care. I work part time remote, so I'm flexible for house sitting or drop-by services. If you happen to have a bird, I can take care of them, too! I have a parakeet who lives in a large cage inside -- he doesn't know how good he has it, LOL! I also cared for a variety of pets growing up.
“Thank you so much for staying with my two frenchies! This is the first time I used Rover and Monet did not disappoint. This was the first time leaving my fur babies and they just turned one, so I was really worried. Monet sent me updates and assured me my babies were doing good. She made sure my house was clean just like I left it as well! Lexi and Lola are happy mom and dad are home but went into my guest room looking for Monet! They obviously liked her and so will your pup book with her!”
“Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs since I was young. I have owned many childhood dogs, and I have experience with taking care of dogs when I worked at a local dog resort. I currently have a Frenchie, and I would love to show your pet the love they deserve while you are away! I am new to the area but not new to California! My schedule as of right now is very flexible and I am willing to work with yours! My dog is in a very comfortable and loving environment. My goal is to do the same for yours, which is treat your pet as I would treat mine.
“Well, I can't say enough words to express our appreciation & gratitude... Ayla responded at a last minute request & surpassed our expectations... We only had 1 visit with her thus far & she was punctual, professional, respected our home, & was very patient with our dog... My husband & I do not hesitate to recommend Ayla for dog-sitting... Thank you Ayla & we'll call upon you again!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ordway
Riley stayed at our house and took wonderful care of our dog, Bean. Riley kept the house just as tidy as it was Left and sent photos/updates throughout, which we really appreciated. Bean was happy, calm, and clearly well loved while away and we'd welcome Riley back into our home anytime.
I adopted Dolly only about a week before I had to leave for a trip, so I was definitely nervous about leaving such a new, tiny puppy behind. She was only about 10 weeks old and still very much in the middle of potty training, so this was not exactly the easiest sit! Air was incredible. She sent me photos and videos throughout the day, kept me updated constantly, and made me feel completely comfortable that Dolly was happy, safe, and being loved on while I was gone. I never felt like I had to wonder how things were going, which meant so much to me. I honestly can’t say enough good things about her. I would trust her with Dolly again in a heartbeat and would absolutely use her for anything in the future. Highly recommend!
We loved Abby as well as our Dog Charlie. It was our first time using her but we immediately felt she would be the perfect fit. She was sweet, smart and very respectful. I could tell she loved animals. When you leave your pet with a stranger you worry about them but I could sense that our dog felt very comfortable with her. When we returned home after being gone 3 days she left a nice note and had done the laundry. That was really above and beyond.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Ordway walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Ordway maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ordway choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .
