About: Well who doesn’t love dogs lol. My experience comes from having a family dog, being on Rover now, and watching friends’ dogs. In the past, I helped a friend with their Rover pet sitting, which is how I became familiar with the app. Willing to do potty breaks in the morning, lunch, after work, and before bed! I primarily do boarding at my place but am still available for drop ins. However, it would make it easier if your home is nearby. Always down to give some pets and go on walks. I would prefer to spend some time with your dog versus leave immediately after feeding or letting them out. I’d feel most comfortable if we could meet before hand.
“Raina was amazing. She took great care of both of my cats. She sent updates every day, and sent pictures. Raina even settled my anxiety by doing a house tour with me before I even left for my trip.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m dependable, punctual, and committed to providing consistent care that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I understand that every pet is unique, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions. Safety is always my top priority, whether we’re on a walk, playing, or relaxing at home. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
“Emma did a great job taking care of my two kitties, very reliable & always keeping me updated and sending pictures! I definitely felt comfortable leaving them in her care. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Madison is great! Super responsive, very professional and great with my cats! She made time to come over prior to my time away to meet the cats and get to know our space and routine. She somehow got them out of hiding on the first day and got the to play with her, which isn’t a typical response from them with new people.”
About: I’ve spent enough time around animals to know they all run on their own logic, and I’m good at meeting them where they are. Some need structure, some need space, some just need someone steady in the room. I’m comfortable handling the practical stuff — feeding, cleaning, meds, exercise — but I’m just as good at reading the energy and keeping things calm. I don’t force interactions or rush the process. I move at the pace the animal sets, and that’s why they tend to settle around me. I’ve been around everything from easygoing pets to the ones that test your patience, and I know how to keep things smooth without making a big deal out of it. For me, good care is about consistency, awareness, and not overcomplicating things. Animals pick up on that, and they respond to it. I own my own business therefore I am able to make my own schedule and fit it around yours. I am available day of as well as 24/7 service. When I’m caring for pets in my home, I keep things steady and predictable. I make sure they have a clean space, fresh water, regular feeding times, and enough attention or quiet time depending on what they’re comfortable with. I pay attention to their routines and adjust the environment so they feel safe — whether that means giving them a cozy corner to settle into or keeping them active and engaged. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow their setup and their rules so the pet’s routine doesn’t get disrupted. I handle the basics — feeding, cleaning, litter or yard time, meds if needed — and I keep an eye on their behavior so I can tell if something’s off. I move calmly and respectfully in their space, and I make sure the pet feels like everything is normal even though someone new is there. No matter where I’m caring for them, I focus on consistency, awareness, and keeping the animal comfortable. Every pet has their own way of doing things, and I’m good at reading that and meeting them where they are.
About: I have experience caring for many kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and ferrets. I’d love to care for your pet with a drop-in visit if you’re out for the day. I treat every fur baby as if they were my own. While I’m new to Rover, I’ve been pet sitting for friends for many years. I truly love all animals and will make sure your pet gets plenty of love and attention, along with fresh food, snacks, and clean water. And yes — I even take care of the litter box! I am available to drop in and check on your cat Fri evenings, and pretty much when you need on Sat/Sun. I like to plan ahead, so earlier bookings are great but I understand some times you may need someone last minute, and that’s ok too! I am scheduling for drop ins to check on and care for your cats or kittens. I will feed, and give fresh water, change the litter box and give your cat some love and attention.
About: I grew up with cats and just got a puppy. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and care for both their dogs and cats. I currently work 3days a week at the hospital with different days off every week. Every week is a little different but if I’m off I’m available! I am also available on most weekends! I currently do not offer boarding in my own home as I have a brand new puppy but I’d love to come check up on your fur baby!
About: I view each dog as a unique individual that needs love and care based on their needs and personality. I understand that some dogs need to be tired out in order to relax and some would just prefer belly rubs on the couch for hours. I love spending time outside and going to the gym so I would love to take your pup on a long walk to get their energy out if that's something they need! I do have experience caring for elderly and handicapped dogs as well and I know they require lots of love and patience. I really value the safety of your pet and home as my first priority so anything I can do to accommodate you and your dogs needs I am more than happy to do so. I like to send photo updates to keep you in the loop and will always defer to your preferences and instructions when caring for your pup. I started petsitting when I graduated high school because I wanted to spend more time with animals and I've been able to meet so many amazing people, and even more amazing dogs ;) over the years. I now have 8 years of experience petsitting, from drop in visits/walks, as well as extended stays in homes caring for multiple high energy or handicapped dogs at once. I'm usually the go-to person for my friends and family to take care of their pets since they know I'm always eager to spend more time with animals. Please reach out for any questions!! I work a Monday to Friday 9-5 job, and am very blessed to have a flexible job where I can leave during lunch and or in the afternoon again if need be. For drop in visits/walks I am available during lunchtime, or after 5pm. If I am staying in-home while you are gone I will swing by over lunch to spend time with your pup, take them outside, etc. If they require more times to be let outside I am typically able to leave another time during the day so they have two breaks during the 8am to 5pm timeframe. I am happy to discuss logistics and accommodate to you and your pups needs! While I staying in your home, or if I am just dropping by to take your pup on a quick walk, I am very conscious of safety and privacy. I understand it takes a level of trust to allow someone in your home when you are gone and am especially aware of locking doors behind me when coming and going, as well as respecting your privacy. I air on the side of caution and will always reach out to you directly if any issues were to ever arise!
About: Having a border collie as a family dog, I’m very knowledgeable in the importance of enrichment for certain breeds. Having just lost our family dog, I know very well the impact our pets have, they’re family and not just pets. I am currently self employed as an licensed esthetician and nail technician. I can make time when needed almost always. Let me know what you need and I'll be happy to deliver! I am very familiar with kenneling, big on environmental safety checks, as we know it only takes a few seconds or a minute for something to go unseen!
“Charlie was amazing with our 2 cats.! One is elderly and needed medication daily and the other one is antisocial with strangers. Charlie was diligent about making sure the one got the medication and attention she needed and even won over the other one! Charlie also made a special effort to make our elderly cat more comfortable, even making suggestions we were unaware of and appreciate. We are already requesting she come again.”
“Eli was right on time. Very professional and attentive to my cat Ninja. I'm looking forward to them becoming more familiar with each other. Eli was very polite, pleasant and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend Eli for your pet's needs.”
About: I have cared for dogs of various breeds for more than a decade. Our family has always included our little four legged friends as well! Neighbors, friends, family and co-workers have trusted me to walk, feed and love their fur babies just like my own. ❤️ My small, female, Jack Russell mix (Lucy) will make a great companion for your pet during our time together! For house sitting, I need to bring Lucy with me, so please only send requests if you are okay with that. Lucy is spayed, potty trained and very well behaved. ***ALLERGIC TO CATS*** During the week, I work outside of the home, but make time to care for your pet in the morning, over lunch and during the evening. My goal is to ensure your pet is happy, healthy and spoiled with love when they are with me! Tips for my services are always welcome! I can easily meet your expectations as long as you communicate your preferences. You can expect your pet to be leashed at all times while outside the home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ralston
Danielle was an amazing Rover sitter for Oakley over the 4th of July! She was incredibly kind and gave Oakley so much love and attention while we were away. Her updates were thoughtful, and the adorable photos and notes gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Oakley was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to a happy pup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book Danielle again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.
Megan is amazing ! So sad to say this is our last visit due to relocation. Megan was the first pet sitter we met off rover I was hesitant even getting the app but after meeting her she’s the only person we’ve trusted watching our pets when we go out of town ! She’s truly the best. She cares about the pets like there her own ! She’s easy to work with very accommodating and overall just a very down to earth person. We’re sad to see her go but I know she’s going to be great whoever gets to have her next !! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this girl she deserves it ! Thanks for everything !!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ralston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.
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 Ralston 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!
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Ralston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
