“Kevin recently cared for our golden doodle and home for several days, and we were so impressed with every aspect of our experience with him. He truly went above and beyond in every way. From his daily reports and photos we could tell that our pup was well loved and cared for while we were away. And returning home to a clean and tidy house was the icing on the cake! Kevin was professional, kind and communicative, making the entire experience a joy. It's obvious that he loves dogs and has a special connection with them. We highly recommend Kevin and plan to contact him again the next time we travel.”
“Jackie is wonderful with our aging Labrador. She sends us photo updates and tells us if our dog has any issues. Our dog gets so much love, exercise and many snuggles when Jackie cares for her.”
About: I have been responsible for taking care of dogs for a few years through my own pets as well as dog-sitting my roommates Golden Retriever puppy from 8 weeks old to 6 months! During this time I took the puppy outside for potty breaks, for walks, to the park, kept up on feeding schedules, as well as many tug-a-war sessions! As well as overall care throughout the summer! I find joy in my overall priority to make your animals as happy as can be! I am currently looking to find a full-time career so I am available most weekdays to help out with our furry friends! I am available Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9-4! I love walking dogs and understand all dogs walk at different distances and paces! I work to ensure your fur pal is walking their adequate distance and pay attention to behavioral changes to note if we need to end the walk early! I also carry treats and water with me on walks to keep everyone happy and healthy! For dog-sitting and drop ins I love ensuring all pups are the happiest they can be! I ensure they get lots of pets and treats while also ensuring I am following their guidelines and routines as to not disrupt them!
“Tarryn did a great job taking care of my two dogs! She took them on lots of walks to help their separation anxiety and truly tried to make them as comfortable as possible while we were away. She sent us updates almost daily and sent lots of cute pictures!”
About: I have plenty of pup care from family, friends and fur babies of my own. I can do anything your baby needs and more. From only a few weeks old to an old doggo. My schedules are super flexible whatever your pup or kitty needs I can make happen for them. I am a SAHM with 2 kiddos sometimes they may need to tag along. I wake up early most days and take my pup out for a potty break and following that I feed her. Depending how busy the day is I will take her to the park or if I am watching other pets I will take them on a super long walk.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was little. I’ve had dogs since I was little. I love taking care of dogs. They they deserve their world. I love taking care of dogs. I’m available on the weekends for boarding but weekdays I’m available to walk your dog. I love walking them after I get off work. It gets my mind off things. I live in apartments, but I have a lot of grass for dogs. Use the potty and I have also two dogs at home to make your fur baby company.
“Kamryn is another dog sitter with Rover whose love for dogs is crystal clear. She loves being with my dog Jake and he is clearly happy being with her! I hope to continue to have Kamryn as another one of my Rover star sitters I can have stay with Jake over and over, making it a lot easier for me to leave him when I need to travel. Highly recommended!”
“Nova was terrific! They house sat and stayed with my dogs and cat nearly uninterrupted for 6 days. As happy as my dogs were to see me, they were sad to see Nova go, which is exactly as I’d hope. Thanks again, Nova!”
About: What began as a shared passion for animals has grown into a trusted, reliable service with a loyal base of repeat clients. We provide attentive care for pets and homes while you travel, offering the kind of service you need not think twice about. ✨ Andrew brings Midwestern charm and over twelve years of experience in franchise operations planning, while Raquel brings Southern hospitality and works remotely in tech management. Together, we bring the reliability, structure, and clear communication that come from managing high-stakes projects professionally, now applied to the care of your pets and home. 🏡 We are also building toward a long-term homestead, so hands-on animal care and property upkeep come naturally to us rather than as an afterthought. 🐕 We have taken on the responsibility of self-training our Labrador as a service dog, a commitment that reflects the seriousness with which we approach animal care, patience, and consistency. 👫 As a husband-and-wife team, we offer something solo sitters cannot: consistency, accountability, and genuine peace of mind. Every client is invited to a meet-and-greet, ensuring you know exactly who is caring for your pet and your home. Should you prefer a female caregiver, we are happy to accommodate. You will receive daily photo and video updates, and the majority of our clients choose to rebook us for every trip. We would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet. 🐾 Proudly serving Fort Collins and Northern Colorado’s finest neighborhoods. Raquel & Andrew My wife works from home, and I work for myself. When we are watching your animals we are fully committed to that service that we are providing. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can maintain their familiar routine and environment. I follow feeding, medication, walking, exercise, and bedtime schedules as closely as requested. I’m comfortable working with pets who require extra patience, structure, training reinforcement, or experienced handling. I provide as much one-on-one attention as requested while also treating your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
About: I had a dog for 15 years. He was my best friend. I have always wanted a dog since, but my life has not allowed it. I love animals and have a good connection with them. I am calm and comforting, and am also very playful, so dogs tend to love me. I enjoy taking walks and hikes and playing fetch. I also am a water person, so I’d take your dog with me to play in the river and lake. My daughter would also LOVE to care for a dog when we are lucky enough to get the opportunity! I would take great care of your pup! At the moment, I am working part time with long breaks between clients so I have plenty of time to play and care for your dog. I will take dogs on plenty of walks and play fetch, keep them entertained and snuggled, fed, watered and loved. I have a fenced in backyard. I make sure your dog can’t get into things that are potentially dangerous to them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Ranchettes 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 Ranchettes 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 Ranchettes 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!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
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.
