About: I volunteer as a dog walker at the Humane Society, completed their advanced dog training program—and have the honor of working with pups who need extra love, patience, and guidance. From high-energy jumpers to leash-reactive dogs, I specialize in positive reinforcement, body language awareness, and building trust through consistency and care. Whether it’s helping a new puppy learn the ropes or giving a senior dog some well-deserved TLC, I bring heart and experience to every walk and stay. I have a special soft spot for sugar-faced pups and love providing them with comfort, companionship, and a slower pace that honors their golden years. After my beloved Ellie crossed the rainbow bridge, I’m opening my home and heart to your furry companion in the Longmont & Firestone area. With a fenced backyard, peaceful green space directly behind my home and a flexible work-from-home schedule, your dog will get daily exercise, playtime, and all the cuddles they deserve. I’d love to be your pet’s second favorite human. 🐾💚 I have no pets currently, work from home 3 days a week and have a fenced in backyard and green space with direct access. I have a large dog bed and plenty of space in the home. Your pup will feel right at home here! I have a fully fenced yard for safe play and potty breaks, and dogs are welcome throughout the house as long as they’re house-trained. If your pup needs a crate, just bring it along! I'm open to hosting 2 dogs if your pup has a sibling. I work from home 3 days a week and stay active, so your dog will get plenty of exercise or gentle walks—especially the sugar-faced seniors who need extra TLC. In my home, I provide loving, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs. 🐶💚
“Claire did an outstanding job taking care of Mochi for two days in a row. She was incredibly professional, responsible, and attentive throughout the entire time. She kept me updated regularly, followed all instructions carefully, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Mochi and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Claire with Mochi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: Whether your dog loves adventures or relaxing on the couch, I'll make sure they feel loved and cared for. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Reliable, attentive, and trustworthy care. Im available all mornings, some afternoons, and part of the weekend. I can make it multiple times a day, as often as you need for your comfort. I provide a safe, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets are supervised and cared for throughout the day. I follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special care instructions provided by the owner. My goal is to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while giving owners peace of mind.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from larger dogs such as Labradors to small Chihuahuas. I’m an empathetic person and a nurse and caring for and loving animals is part of who I am. I help take care of my father’s aging cat and have two small dogs of my own. I work from home and my house has a large fenced yard and a park nearby for walks and exercise! I work full time from home and am able to frequently let pets outside and take them on walks during the day. I have a great set up in my home to be able to care for dogs and cats. I can walk dogs in the early morning before 7:30 am or anytime after 4:30 pm. I have a large fenced yard and two small dogs who can keep your dog company and socialized! I am also able to crate my dogs if your dog or cat does better without other dogs. I also have a spare room I can board your cat if your cat doesn’t mix with dogs. I love taking dogs on walks and would love to walk your dog at the park right by my house or at yours. I can crate your pets if needed, feed them, provide fresh water, any additional care they may need and give them plenty of love and attention!
“Alissa really helped me with Chumley! He absolutely loves her, and they bonded very quickly. I have no reservations about hiring Alissa again should the need arise. Thank you, Alissa!”
“Nicole helped keep my new border collie company for a couple drop in visits while I was away long hours at work. She was communicative and responsive and I know Logan loved it! Thanks Nicole!”
About: I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own. Years of experience in watching family and friends pets. I cater to you I work Mon-Fri, but do come home at lunch for an hour if I’m boarding at my house. I have weekends off and open availability I have a fenced yard and have friendly playful fur babies too. I will accommodate to medication or dietary needs, we can crate if needed.
“May was amazing! She went above and beyond with my dog Buster. She is responsible, spent quality time with my dog, was very communicative. She also has dog training experience and helped with a couple of behavior issues both working with him as well as offering great ideas and tips. I highly recommend her for any pet care and will be using her again!”
“Kristy was wonderful with our 2 boys! While we were at an event, she walked them, gave them a snack and spent a good amount of time snuggling with them. They are both large strong bully breed boys and they did great on the leash for her, showing that she is confident and capable. I told her they liked to snuggle and she went above and beyond to give them affection. You could see in the pictures she sent that they were very happy to be cozied up next to her. She was also great about doing a meet-and-greet and making it very convenient for us. I would hire Kristy again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her!”
“Emily is more than amazing, she went above and beyond to make sure my pets were well cared for while we were out of town for the holiday weekend, I couldn’t have asked for a better rover sitter. I will definitely use Emily in the future and I highly recommend her.”
“Amber was great! She went above and beyond coming over to help me trim the nails of my two dogs. She is a prompt communicator and arrived on time. She provided her own clippers which unfortunately broke. Amber was able to come back the same day with a new pair of clippers to finish the job without an additional charge. Thank you, Amber!”
About: Professional dog trainer with extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds and temperaments, offering calm, reliable, and structured care tailored to each dog’s unique needs and routine. Caring for dogs is already part of my everyday life, so your pet will seamlessly fit into a routine that prioritizes structure, enrichment, and calm, attentive care. Safety is my top priority. Dogs are cared for in a calm, controlled environment with a fully fenced yard, thoughtful supervision, and crating available when appropriate or requested.
About: Animals have always been my passion, and I have dedicated both my professional career and my ongoing education to ensuring they live their best lives. Having spent two years working in doggy daycare, I have had the privilege of supporting dogs of all ages and temperaments through their daily routines. I find genuine joy in providing the specific type of attention each dog needs to feel secure and happy, from managing puppy "zoomies" to honoring the slower, comfortable pace of a senior companion. By choosing to work with me, you are welcoming a dedicated, trained, and compassionate advocate into your pet's life who will ensure they feel right at home while you are away. I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, and I am committed to making your pet’s time with me a positive and stress-free experience. I understand that every pet family has a unique rhythm, and my primary goal is to maintain that consistency while you are away. Because pet care is my full-time passion, I offer the flexibility required to adapt to your specific needs—whether your dog thrives on a structured routine of midday walks or requires the comfort of a consistent presence during overnight house-sitting. I pride myself on being highly adaptable to your schedule, ensuring your furry friend receives attentive, professional supervision and companionship that mirrors the care they are used to at home. I am committed to making your time away stress-free by providing reliable, dedicated, and high-quality care whenever you need it. In my home, my dogs are treated like family, just as all dogs deserve. They receive love and attention, and I cherish the quality time we spend together. Whenever I was dog sitting, I made sure the dog felt comfortable with both me and its surroundings. I also ensured that all their needs were met and that they were thriving. If the dog enjoys walks, they will be given one daily.
About: I worked at a doggy daycare with shy dogs, reactive dogs, and dogs that can't play with other dogs. I also volunteered for several years at the Longmont Humane Society working with dogs and cats. Additionally, I've run a pet sitting bussiness for the past 8 years. I work full time, so I prefer animals that can be alone for at least 8 hours. Outside of work, I can give them the care they need, and I have a car to reliably get me there. I have 4 cats and a small dog, so I can't have client pets at my house, but I will follow any and all instructions to keep your home and animals safe while you are gone.
About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, seniors, and dogs who need extra attention or medication. I also have experience with cats and reptiles, so multi-pet households are no problem. Your pets will be cared for with patience, confidence, and lots of love — just like they’re my own. I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday but I have an hour long lunch where I can go let your pup out if needed and close enough to my job. I have a fenced in yard, one friendly dog to keep yours company. I can kennel your dog if needed or they can stay out. I normally do pet sitting at my house but if needed I can come to your house

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 Platteville 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
