Lacey is a terrific pet sitter. She took care of my two cats for four days stopping in twice a day. She provided reports and pictures with each visit. Lacey did everything I asked of her, most importantly giving my cats lots of affection and attention with each visit. I definitely plan to book her again. She’s awesome!

Christina will now and always be our go-to, we needed somebody to feed our cats while we were away and the ease of explaining the setup, having the cats meet her, and overall experience were 10/10. Thank you Christina!

Erin went above and beyond to take care of our little pup. When we got home our pet had clearly been loved and played with. Texts throughout the day kept us at ease. Cannot recommend her enough. Responsive, reliable, caring,

About: Since I’m unable to have a pet of my own, pet sitting is something I truly enjoy! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I am very familiar with animal husbandry, as I grew up caring for livestock along with our family animals too. I currently work a very flexible schedule, especially in the summer time. I can take multiple breaks in my day to best accommodate your pets needs I am unable to offer pet sitting in my home at this time. I always treat your home as I would mine, and leave it better than I found it.

About: I grew up on a farm and have taken care of all kinds of animals my entire life. I love animals, and will treat your pets with the same love and care as I do for my own (1 cat one dog, both good with other animals). I have raised multiple cats and dogs throughout my life. I am working full time during the week, 8-4 Monday-Friday. I work as a life enrichment coordinator at Casey's pond, where I actually bring my dog (and sometimes my cat!) to work and they get to spend time with residents. This job allows me a lot of flexibility, and I am able to come home every 2 hours. I am free every weekend, and overnight care is also possible with my schedule. I have a fenced in yard and an guest bedroom which your pet could stay in, we are also able to fit a crate in here. My pets are allowed on all the furniture. I have a well behaved 1.5 year old dog who would love nothing more than to show your dog (or cat) around our house, and a 13 year old cat who is absolutely oblivious to any other animals and just does her own thing. I love spending time outside and will play with / walk your dogs if desired!

About: I personally have 4 dogs and 3 cats, and having had animals all around the house while growing up I am well suited to care for both small and large dogs and cats. I have been a dependable pet sitter for neighbors and friends over the years, and will treat your beloved animals like my own. I am currently post grad and have a very flexible schedule, so rest assured I can stop in and love on your pups multiple times a day :) I will care for your pets like they are my own :) I can handle hyper as well as more sensitive or shy pets. If they needs loads of attention I’ll be at their beck and call, and if they rather be left alone I’ll make sure their needs are met without the extra hassle. Your pet will feel secure and safe.

About: From miniature poodles to giant schnauzers, I’ve spent my life learning the language of dogs! Growing up with a mini poodle taught me the art of gentle companionship, while raising my giant schnauzer has made me an expert at handling big-dog energy, structured walks, and strong personalities. I’m comfortable with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, and I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience to ensure your best friend has a safe, fun, and reliable walking companion Hi there! I am fully available on weekdays for reliable dog walking and house check-ins, and I operate on one simple rule: your pet always comes first. Whether they need an energetic mid-day walk to break up their afternoon or a careful check-in to make sure they are happy and comfortable at home, I treat every animal with the dedicated attention, safety, and love they deserve. You can rest easy during your workday knowing your best friend's happiness is my absolute top priority! Your home is your pet's safe haven, and I make it my absolute priority to keep it that way. When caring for your pets in your home, safety and respect are at the forefront of everything I do. I strictly follow your established household rules and routines to keep things stress-free and familiar for your pet. Beyond showering them with attention, I am highly vigilant about home security—always double-checking locks, securing gates, and scanning for any potential hazards before I leave. Whether we are securing harnesses for a safe walk or settling in for some indoor playtime, you can trust that your home and your beloved companion are in incredibly safe, responsible, and caring hands.

About: Hello Steamboat neighbors! I'm Maggie and I live locally and work remotely, making me a great candidate if you are going out of town and want someone to spend a lot of time with your dog (or cat)! Overnights or drop bys are both possible and I'm more than happy to take a dog on a long walk or run! I have over a decade of experience with cat and dog sitting (including taking care of my own cat, Manny). My preference is to start by meeting you and your animal for 30 minutes to see if it is a good fit for everyone and go from there! Thanks I work remotely in Steamboat and am available to drop by or walk before and after work as well as lunch time. My schedule is flexible! If you book overnight, I can work remotely from your home! I cannot watch dogs or cats at my own house as I have a cat who likes to be an only child! While caring for your animals, I will follow instructions on how your animal behaves with other anmials and how you like them to be exercised and cared for.

About: * Been taking care of friends' loved ones for decades * Ample, daily play-time is provided * Live near Rita Valentine so short or long hikes very accessible * My rules are your rules - whatever is needed to make things seamless for you and your pet so they are comfortable while you are away * I work from home and have a very flexible schedule * I'm able to walk dogs very regularly on whatever schedule they normally have * I live up the street from Yampa Core Trail and right by Rita Valentine so ample options to get them out and exercising * 15-45 minutes hikes are very easy to accommodate * My husband is retired so he is also home. He is a SUCKER for an offered belly so often his choosing to work out or doing any work around the house is ignored in favor of rubbing bellies! * I'm in a very quiet and dog-friendly neighborhood. * I have a nice side-yard but it is not fenced in. Dogs are never let out on their own. * Dogs are allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed - I try to follow whatever is the "norm" for them * I have no problem taking dogs in my car to run errands (if they have separation issues) or to have variety at Spring Creek or other nearby walking areas. * For the senior loved ones: there is an enclosed flight of stairs to get into the house. Carrying pups up stairs is NOT an issue - I had an injured gal who was limping and I just picked her up to make it easier. (50-ish lbs)

Rose was such a great sitter! She is friendly, dependable, and flexible with her schedule! She is very attentive to detail and cares about your pets needs! She went above and beyond with the drop in even taking Milo on a walk when all she had to do was take him to a potty break! Furthermore she took great photos displaying what she did with Milo. I definitely will be booking her again!

If I could give Cierra 6 stars I would. I am very particular about who takes care of my cat, Penny, so we did a meet and greet prior to the hire and immediately Penny started rubbed on Cierra's legs and purring. I now have an amazing young lady to watch her when I'm gone. The value of the service Cierra provides is well worth the cost. She let me know when she checked in and out at the house and takes photos of them playing together. It feels really good to know I have someone I can trust while I'm away.

About: I have been caring for pups since childhood and have a true passion for animals. Dog sitting was my first means of income as a child with my neighbors (and parents) allowing me to care for their dogs into my home while also growing up with a number of dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and rodents. My love for animals has only grown and for the first time in my life I have no pets of my own. For that reason, Rover is the perfect opportunity for me to spend time where my heart is and surround myself with what I love while also helping others. I have a great deal of experience training puppies as well as handling dogs with behavioral issues. Look forward to hearing from you! I am available to provide frequent care every day of the week. I work 4-6 hour shifts 3-4 days per week and love playing with pups the rest of my free time. Let me know your needs and I can work with you! As I am unable to care for pets in my home I will be happy to follow all rules and guidelines you have in place for the care of your home and pets!

About: I have been taking care of neighbor's cats and dogs since I was a kid, and love spending time with all types of pets. I've worked with very timid dogs, as well as energetic puppies. I'll be happy to meet whatever needs you or your pets have! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment, so I'll have a lot of free time for pet sitting or walking. I'd also be available for recurring appointments if needed! I'm a bit of an overprotective pet parent, and will ensure that your pets are kept safe. I usually ask for any directions to be written down to make sure I have all the details about your pet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Steamboat Springs on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 50 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Steamboat Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Steamboat Springs. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
