About: I grew up on a farm taking care of animals is nothing new to me. I have always loved animals and I have 3 dogs of my own that would vouch for me that I’m a great dog mom.😄 I work part time as a dental hygienist and when I’m not working I’m with my 3 dogs spoiling them. I love animals and love to help others so I thought rover would be perfect! My dogs are more like my children they are my babies I couldn’t imagine my life without them. Growing up on a farm I took care of all sorts of animals and loved them all. I am a trustworthy and reliable person.

About: I’ve had lots of pets growing up, a variety of different dogs big and small, and some cats as well. I currently have two dogs and often pet sit for family and friends, and I also work at a doggy daycare! Although I do have more experience with dogs, I love all animals and can absolutely take care of any animals and needs they may have. Also, I do go by the name Alex! I currently work a full time job as a dog daycare attendant, and my days off include Saturdays and Sundays. My hours are usually 12-6. Normally I don’t work longer than 6 hour shifts. I have a decent sized yard with a fence and make sure to keep water bowls full with how hot it has been. I take my doggos for walks or even car rides when its not too hot outside, and I would definitely do the same for your doggos! Any specific care requests, like maybe your doggo has to be tucked in, or need to watch their food be “prepared” in order for them to eat it, I will do so with pleasure! Oh and of course lots of love and play time, given thats what they want!

About: I strive to treat everyone's furbabies with the highest level of care as if they're my own. I've cared for every age of dog and cat for...really my whole life. I can administer medications and keep an eye on and assist more "special needs" furbabies if needed. I am a Biology major and try to learn as much as I can to care for animals the best I possibly can. I am currently working on animal first aid but I do know human FA so I can spot an emergency and care for minor wounds. I am currently working as needed at my job but, even then, my days are really open. I do have medical appointments here and there so sometimes I just need to leave the house for those but I try to return to the house expeditiously because I dont want the animals to be alone for too long. I understand not leaving dogs (especially) for too long between potty breaks so I can work around that but I try to stay at the house for 95+ percent of the time I am sitting. I purposely work around the animal's schedule so that they can be as comfortable and cared for as possible. I try to get as much information from the owner as possible so that I can make the time as similar to when the owner is around. I know changes can be stressful so avoiding any as much as possible is the best. I am known to be a cuddler but if they want their space I can definitely give it. I can give outside time to the best of my abilities and can transport in my own car with great safety if needed (e.g. if they love lake play, etc.). For younger animals, I can give regular care and make sure the space stays clean and cared for as best as possible. I understand that they need more supervision and help. I also try my best to keep an eye on outdoor heavy animals and shy animals to make sure theyre doing alright during my stay as well.

“We have a complicated situation at home with a very special ‘special needs’ kitty. He is scared of most people, but warmed up very quickly to Sarah. She did a great job taking care of both of the cats, I could tell they were very happy in the pictures she shared during each visit. Great communication as well! Thanks, Sarah!”

He doesn't often greet unfamiliar people, but he was friendly from the start with Dawna. I will be recommending her, Rover to others as well as continuing to book Dawna in the future.”

About: For 8 years in Colorado, 3 years in Washington, 2 years in Oklahoma and 1 in Hawaii; I enjoyed forming relationships with an extensive list of clients and their pets. I am searching to create another loyal list for the West Slope. I offer house sitting, day care, drop-in visits and walks. Rates are negotiable based on your situation. All energy levels are welcomed! I am trained in K-9 CPR and skilled in reading behavior. What's important to me is that your family and home are loved while you are away. A strong, clean referral history is available to any prospective client. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule at United Airlines to better serve your needs. I am employed full-time with United Airlines, but I am easily able to drop my workdays to stay with your pet and cater to them. We have a fully fenced backyard great for fetch or sunbathing. At your house I am happy to keep the yard clear of messes and have the most respect for your home cleaning up after myself as well.

About: I am based in Carbondale, CO. I am currently pet/house sitting full time throughout the summer and fall so I'm able to provide a high level of care for pets and homes throughout the valley! **UPCOMING HOLIDAY AVAILABILITY** THANKSGIVING Over thanksgiving (11/25-29) I will be camping in Southern Utah with my sister and her dog friendly labradoodle. I have a large truck camper that I will be staying in. If you have 1-2 dogs that need care during that time, I can bring them with me, so long as they are up for hikes and are friendly with other dogs. CHRISTMAS & NEW YEARS 12/23-25 I will be in the front range at my sister's house to celebrate Christmas. She has a friendly labradoodle. I'm open to taking 1-2 dogs with me to stay there as long as they are friendly with other dogs. 12/26-1/1: HEAVILY DISCOUNTED RATE FOR THE FOLLOWING ACCOMODATIONS: My parents and sister will then be visiting me in Carbondale area for the remainder of the holiday since I will have to be available for ski instructing during the peak season. If you need house sitting during those dates, I can do that, but would need to request my sister's labradoodle and 3 adults (my sister and my mom and dad) be allowed to stay there as well. Though I may have to work during a portion of those dates, my family is off of work so there would be minimal times that your pets would be unattended. Feel free to send a request and we can discuss in more details (I will adjust to the lower rates after we discuss). I will be part time ski instructing at Snowmass this winter so I still have a high level of availability throughout Dec-Apr as well. I've cared for my own dogs, roommates' dogs, friends' pets, Trusted Housesitter stays, and Rover sits over the past 10 years. I've cared for dogs from puppyhood to 13 years old. I've also cat-sat for friends, Trusted Housesitters, and Rover clients over the years. I'm more than happy to take them on walks, hikes, to dog parks, and out for potty/play breaks throughout the day. The longest I've watched someone's pet was for 2 months, and I loved it! I'm also happy to take them camping if that's their jam. Feel free to reach out with any other questions! A note on transportation - I have a truck camper (converted from a former ambulance) as my main vehicle. If there is any concern of me parking it on your property for house sitting or other services, let me know and I can park it elsewhere. It is reliable, 4WD and does super well on winter roads, so if you're up a dirt road, I have no concerns about being able to get there. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to ask! I currently am full time pet sitting for the summer and fall. I am very attentive and love morning, midday, and evening outings for fetch, dog park hangs, hikes, and walks. I can be available throughout the day full-time. After December, I will be part-time ski instructing for Snowmass. I am still available for all the same services but will need to be gone for a longer portion of the day if I'm working that day. I don't anticipate that it would be longer than 6-8hrs depending on how far away the sit is. A note on boarding - this is if you need overnight care for your pet or pets at MY home. House sitting is overnight care at your home or accomodations, sometimes I know that gets a little confusing. I much prefer house sitting in your home as I find that pets are much more happy in their own familiar environment with the all their comforts that they're accustomed to. If you need boarding outside of your home I can discuss a couple of options with you depending on the temperment of your pet and the length of the request. I will always be up front and transparent if I'm able to accommodate the request. I am very respectful and clean when staying at a client's house. I treat it like my own (if not better). I love going for walks with your pup and keeping them on a leash. I also don't give in to the cute puppy eyes when I'm eating my food and keep them to their parents' approved food and treats. I always make sure we are on the same page about your needs and expectations and that I am 100% available and able to commit. Because of this, I have never cancelled on a client after a booking is confirmed.

About: I have grown up with always having animals around. I have lived on multiple farms, and have volunteered with several animal sanctuaries, including one for wildlife in Costa Rica. I also have spent the last five years fostering animals with the Humane society as I lived in Asheville and completed my schooling. Through this experience, I have worked with neonatal newborns, pregnant and nursing mothers, potty training- ages, senior pets, and those who take medication. As I create this account, I am traveling and petsitting on the road. My schedule is very flexible because of this, and so I am open to long or short stays. Every animal is unique, and I love to get to know their personalities and preferences! It is my goal to ensure that animal and animal parent both are happy and comfortable.

About: I’m a passionate and dependable pet sitter with 10 years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m active, attentive, and love keeping pets happy and entertained—whether that means going on walks, runs, playing, giving plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they receive the attention, care, and love they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! I offer flexible pet-sitting services for dogs, cats, and other animals such as birds, turtles, and small pets. While dogs and cats are my main focus, I’m happy to care for a variety of animals and follow their individual routines and needs. My schedule is especially open right now, with availability Monday through Sunday, at any time of day or night, depending on your needs. Whether you need a quick check-in, walks, feeding, playtime, overnight care, or someone to stay with your pets while you’re away, I’m very flexible and willing to work around your schedule. My goal is to make pet care convenient, dependable, and stress-free for both you and your pets. With 10 years of experience caring for pets, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I provide attentive, loving care by following feeding schedules, keeping fresh water available, maintaining clean litter areas or living spaces, providing walks and exercise, and making plenty of time for play and companionship. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall well-being so I can recognize when something may not be right. Most importantly, I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Parachute

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 40 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Parachute. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
