“Lee is amazing. I would put him in the catagory of a dog whisperer. He dropped by to give my two pooches a potty break while I was alway for a long time. Knowing they are highly protective of the house I worried there could be problems. According to Lee and the fun photos he sent it looked like they were having a party. Thank you a hundred times over.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, so I’ve worked with puppies to adults to elderly dogs. I have dog-sitted for others, along with experience from my own pets, which included: play-time, a walk, and feeding. I am currently available on weekdays and Saturdays, including night-time visits. I cannot do overnight visits, but I can do a late-night check-in and follow-up in the morning. I try to replicate a pet's routine as closely as possible, as if you were there! Please give me all the information that is necessary, so I can give your pet the loving care they deserve!
About: I have a soft spot for animals and love to play!! I've had pets my entire life and can help yours have a more active lifestyle. I'm willing to take long hikes on the trails, short walks around town, play ball at your place or just spend quality time with senior pets. I'm known for my integrity and dependability. I understand pets are like children to most people and will treat them as such.Great local references. I live and work full time in Ouray. I work at the Ouray Hot Springs Pool Friday through Monday 6am to 4pm. I can house/pet sit 7 days a week. When staying in someone's home I follow the lists/guidelines exactly as the homeowner wishes. I don't plan other things while sitting. Watching/ entertaining and caring for your home and pet is my job around the clock. I can provide a long list of local references if desired.
“Sierra did an awesome job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for four days. She kept me updated as to how they were doing and sent me the cutest pictures so I could see my babies while I was gone. She even went out of her way to come over a few days early to meet the cats and for me to show her where everything was. She is professional, responsive, and responsible. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”
About: We're a a couple in our 40s, both working professionals in Montrose. We have five year old daughter and a nine year old chocolate lab mix who are both friendly, energetic, curious and cuddly. We are looking to help out others in the area who need dog care, since we know how difficult it can be to find good reliable people to watch our pup. We live just south of town with four acres and direct access to public land, perfect for dogs to run around and play in. We also are very active and love taking our pup out for hikes, walks, cross country skiing, fetch, swims, and playtime, and would be happy to bring yours along as well. We hope to meet you and your pup soon! While we both work full-time, we do have flexibility for telework, and breaks throughout the day to take your dog out. We are home full time evenings and weekends. We have a friendly dog who is very social to run and play with your dog. We are comfortable walking dogs on or off leash depending on what your dog is comfortable with.
“Hayley was wonderful watching Luna for 3 days! She was very reliable and sent helpful updates on her eating, playing, and outside time. The photo updates were great, and it made me laugh that Luna’s 'tortitude' didn’t fade until Hayley broke out the Churus! So grateful I found Hayley and I’ll definitely be booking her again.”
About: Having had several dogs in my life and a dog training License I feel your animals would be at home with me as much as you I do not have a dog and I just enjoy dogs, attitude, company and motivation. They would allow me to care and earn some extra cash. They will be treated like a member of the family in your home. The parameters that you set up will be respected Either way, the animal will feel safe and at peace
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and have always loved caring for animals. I also worked at a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician, where I cared for dogs and cats by feeding them, cleaning their spaces, exercising them, and making sure they were comfortable and well cared for. I as well have house sit and dog sit many times for family or family friends. My experience has taught me how to recognize animals’ needs, handle pets of different personalities, and provide patient, reliable care. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m available most weekdays and on weekends, and I’m committed to providing reliable, care for you and your pets needs. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions, keep your pet on their normal routine, and provide plenty of love, attention, and playtime.
About: I grew up with pets and my mom had a petsitting business we operated out of our home. I helped with that and also worked at a doggy daycare. I'm currently self-employed part-time and can't think of a better way to spend my time than with your fur family while you're away. Available every day of the week and can stay in your home or just stop by a couple times per day! When house/pet sitting, I make sure your pets are played with, snuggled, and fed according to your pet's routine. The important thing I want is to make sure they are safe and comfortable in their familiar surroundings. And I will clean up after myself before the client returns home.
About: I have taken care of my pets and my family’s pets since I was 12. I’ve raised puppies and kittens. My love for animals is genuine. I’d love to get to know more animals. I am currently not doing any other jobs right now so I can fit fully dedicate my time to your babies. I’m looking forward to seeing new faces I will walk your dogs. I can take them out.

Amanda was fantastic while cat sitting for me for a few days. She was reliable, came when needed, and went the extra mile to make sure everything was taken care of. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Jupe was in such good hands. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.

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 Ridgway 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.
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 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.
