“Adrienne did a great job taking care of our dog Fernie! She was very easy to communicate with, clearly loves pets and animals in general, and has a great space for dogs to hang out in. She gave our dog plenty of exercise and love. Our pup is particularly grubby and vocal, and Adrienne took great care of her happily. Would highly recommend her services and will definitely reach out to her again when we travel without our scruff.”

“Sara was an absolute gem!! She communicated so well and her little Waffle was the best playmate for our pup. They made it a fun experience for our dog. Excellent care!!!!!”

“As always, Hanky had a great time. Andrea sends daily videos and photos to let us know that our little guy is doing great. He’s very slow to become comfortable around people outside of our household but we know that he feels safe with her.”

“Stacey took great care of our dog Bandit! She was so communicative, accommodating, and kind. Stacey was so thorough and took the time to get to know Bandit during the meet n greet. She is so attentive and experienced, she also picked up on a lot of Bandit’s quirks and preferences throughout the stay. Stacey provided numerous updates with pictures and videos. We will definitely be booking with Stacey again!!”

“Loki had a great time at Shoni's. Her yard is an amazing place to explore and it was obvious that Loki felt comfortable there. Shoni sent us daily updates and pictures. And Loki found a new furiend in Pineapple. So nice to not worry about him when we are gone. We will use her again without any hesitation.”

“So happy we found Rachel and Sean and their pups. Great experience from start to finish. Amazing communication keeping us up to date throughout the stay with pics and videos. Blu had a great time making new friends. Highly recommend and would definately book again .”

“Devon is highly experienced, responsible, and loving — a great combination of qualities when you’re leaving your beloved pet in someone else’s care. Devon took care of our 13 1/2 year old cat, Polly, while we were out of town for most of a week. Polly loves attention and got lots of it from Devon as well as her sweet son and fiance. I recommend her highly!”

“Lindsey did an excellent job with my two beagles. She has a huge backyard and her doggies are so sweet and kind. My dogs seemed safe and comfortable with her. She sent me photos of my dogs enjoying their stay. Lindsey has excellent communication. I Highly recommend Lindsey for anyone in the Wellington area or northern Colorado area.”

“Caroline was great with my senior dog who has some behavioral issues. She was great with communication, very accommodating with our needs, and flexible! Will definitely book with her again.”

“I’m so glad I found Andrew, and could not have asked for a better sitter to watch my little girl while I was away! He sent frequent photos and updates, and it is so clear to see how much he loves and understands dogs. My Uma was relaxed and happy as can be. I will absolutely be bringing her back to Andrew for future stays.”

“Really appreciated the pre-meetup prior to our trip and the consistent communication. Our dogs clearly found a rhythm while we were away and came back looking loved. Thank you!”

“Kayla has taken care of my 11-year-old Lab, Runner, twice while I’ve been traveling, and she has been wonderful with him. She is incredibly caring, patient, and accommodating to his needs as an older dog. The best recommendation really comes from Runner himself, he is always happy and excited to go to Kayla’s house! He also gets along great with her pup, Waffles, and is always excited to see him and play together. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Runner is somewhere he feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while I’m away. I would absolutely recommend Kayla to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with genuine care and affection.”

“Leah did an absolutely amazing job with our two dogs! She kept us updated multiple times a day with photos and details about how they were doing along with when they ate and when medication was given. She followed all directions that we had left for her. Our dogs absolutely loved her! Leah came to our house in preparation for our 11 day trip so that she would be familiar to our dogs and would be able to know what we expected and what would make it easiest for our difficult dog. She left them for no longer than 2-4 hours a time during the day on the days that she did leave. When we arrived home, our house was perfectly clean and well taken care of care of. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her in the future!”

About: I have been actively pet sitting for about 10 years. I grew up fostering animals and am very comfortable with all kinds of personalities and special needs. I truly care about making your pet feal loved and comfortable while there people are away. I have experience with puppies, seniors and everything in between. I also have a lot of garden experience of you have any plants that need looked after as well I work from 8am-4pm on Monday - Friday. I have weekends and evenings completely off to play and care for your fur babies. I can also possibly arrange coming back mid day for bathroom break if necessary I can come to your home where your pet is most comfortable, either for stop by visits, or for overnight stays. I am very respectful of your space, and have no problem doing things like bringing in mail, taking trash out, or watering plants, ect.
About: I have worked with small, medium, and large breeds of dogs in addition to cats and plant care. I’ve loved animals forever and genuinely enjoy getting to meet all of your wonderful pets. I work in fitness so I would love to go for walks, runs, or hikes with your pets (I even have a backpack for my own little dog to join on hikes). I work a full-time 9-5 job, but the hours are very flexible if I need to step away for a portion of time and I work remotely on Fridays, so I can manage your long weekends :) For drop-in visits, I generally arrive and give the dog some attention/play time, then I will check water, food (if needed), and then will take them outside for a walk/potty break. For cats, it depends a lot, but I try to keep the same habit and swap the walk for cleaning the litter box. If house sitting, I will do my best to be as present as I can in the home, but this depends on my work schedule and owner requests. Dogs can be taken out 2-4 times per day.
About: I have never not had a pet! Since before I was born I had Siamese kitties. I finally got a dog, or two when I was 10 and haven’t stopped loving and training my boys since. I have an Aussie and a cocker spaniel. I currently attend college online so am free almost all day everyday! I get most of my school work done on Monday so the rest of the week is free for activities. I am just an animal lover, I will always ask to pet a dog I see on the street. I will treat your baby like my own and treat them like human kids.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, walking, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand the importance of following each owner’s specific instructions and routines. As a Mechanical Engineering student at Colorado State University, I’m dependable, organized, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own, ensuring they stay safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. As a Mechanical Engineering student, I keep a structured schedule and make time each morning before 1 PM and on most weekends for pet care responsibilities. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and giving them attention is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and am committed to following each owner’s instructions to help keep their pets comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific care requirements. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment while their owners are away. I also provide updates and photos when requested so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. 🐾

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Rustic home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Rustic.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Rustic sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
