“Alissa is AMAZING With our pup! Alissa took the time to get our chickens back into their run when she was there for a "drop-in" visit! I know first hand how tricky this can be! We appreciate all the "little" things she has done for us and Juniper! Like bringing our Amazon packages inside. Juniper loves her company while we are away! And we love the piece of mind knowing our fur baby is in good hands 💜”


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.
“I found Nichole last minute for a five day trip I was taking to come check on, walk, and feed my great pyrenees senior dog. She was excellent and professional, as well as trustworthy and easy to get along with. She sent me photos and gave me an update each time she stopped by, and was great with my dog. She gave my dog her medicine, made sure to keep her water full, and was always on time for her drop-in visits. I'll definitely use Nichole as my sitter again should the need arise. Highly recommend!!”
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: Dog lover since I was a child. I’ve cared for dogs for many years. I have a miniature schnauzer that loves to have play mates over! I am an empty nester so I have lots of time an attention to give your fur baby. Hello pet parents! My name is Christine , and I can't wait to meet your furry family members. I understand that your pets are family, and my top priority is to provide them with a safe, fun, and comfortable environment while you are away. I do work M-F but I come home at lunch for potty breaks. I am home evenings and weekends so fur babies are not alone. I live in a paired home with lots of open space to walk and take potty breaks. I have a large gated patio that offers fresh air while being safely enclosed.

“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’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, both for daily routines and extended stays. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort, whether that means long walks, playtime, or a calm, reassuring presence. I’m reliable, communicative, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with especially good availability in the afternoons and evenings. I’m also available on weekends and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, or extra play and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow care instructions closely and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and well-supervised at all times.

I’m respectful of your space, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
About: I’m an after school Program Coordinator for Elementary aged kids in the BVSD looking to hang out and care for some pets while I’m not working. I’ve had two dogs my entire life growing up, and now have a little cat to keep me company. I don’t own a dog at the moment, and I’m having major dog withdrawals! I would really love to take more personal walks, and adding a few dogs would make it even better. I’ve helped my friends (and family) while they’re out of town by watching their pets, feeding them, giving them their medicine, and bathing them. I would love to take your dog for a jog around the park, or just take a nice leisurely stroll! I also adore cats and would love to give them some company when needed. I love hanging on the couch giving them some cuddles, playing with their favorite toys, and letting them do their own kitty thing while hanging around. I hope to meet you and your sweet fur baby soon. I’m currently working as an after school program coordinator with Fridays off- so I am able to watch your babies early mornings, evenings, any time on Fridays and weekends! I have a fenced yard for your pup to play in, a large house, one cat who is great with other animals, and some free time during the week/weekends to come and watch your fur babies when needed!
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.
“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!”

“Ashley did a great job overall and arrived to my home every day that I needed her there for. Provided me with daily pictures of my pet and gave updates on how much food was eaten which was good to know. Would highly recommend.”

“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!”

About: I don't know what it is just all dogs take a liking to me right away. I believe every dog is special and unique, incredible. As of now my schedule is very open I only have one client currently my kids in school husband at work I need new dog friends I treat my clients home with respect only going to where I've been instructed everything I need for the dogs is located always lock up
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.

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 .

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.
