About: What your pup gets on a stay stay with them: ~ At least 2 walks a day. (unless otherwise directed) ~ Affection galore (one of the most important parts, and they will still be happy to go home to you. :) ~ Feeding schedule and types of food stuck to (a change in food is one of the things that can make pups most nervous). ~ A peaceful time and place to sleep. ~ And, play! (if so desired) ~ and pictures and videos for you, depending on whether the pups keep doing what they are doing while I break out my phone. HaHa! My dear Poco has crossed the rainbow 🌈 bridge: April 29, 2024. She lived a very long a full life and I continue this work knowing she is still my “assistant”. I do sometimes have more than one sit at a time, so please specify if your pal(s) are amicable to making new furiends. My life is currently in transition. I am currently around quite often for your furpets' needs. I can also care for birds and small fuzzy creatures (hamsters, etc.) Making sure people's fur-children are safe is my number one priority. I take safety measures such as always checking leashes and harnesses are secure and tight enough so they won't slip out. I wrap the leash around my wrist in a way that will keep them secure even if they get startled. I check areas to make sure there are no tempting things to eat on walks or in any areas. I listen to pet "owners" regarding what they know about their "kids" and make sure to follow instructions.
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've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets... My schedule is currently fully open on weekends and weekdays I have plenty of time to play and spend time with your pups or cats! I have a cat of my own and frequently care for family members’ dogs. I always make sure pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of attention. I am reliable, responsible, and will treat your pets with the same care and love I give my own.
About: Hi, I'm Susan! Animals have a way of making every day better, and I love returning the favor by giving them a safe, calm, and caring experience while their humans are away. I've been in Steamboat for over five years and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and reliable care. Whether your cat is playful and curious, loves chasing toys, or prefers a cozy nap in their favorite sunny spot, I'm happy to match their personality and routine. I understand that every cat is unique, and I take the time to earn their trust while making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own home. I love taking pictures, so you'll receive plenty of photo updates to see exactly what your cat is up to while you're away! You can count on me to be: • Reliable and communicative • Patient with shy, senior, or independent cats • Respectful of your cat's routines and boundaries • Attentive to medications, feeding schedules, litter box care, and fresh water • Gentle, calm, and focused on making your cat feel safe and comfortable My goal is simple: I want your cat to feel relaxed and cared for while you're away, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they're in loving hands. I can't wait to meet you and your feline family! Your pet's routine is my priority. I'll follow their usual schedule for meals, walks, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, medications, and downtime, helping them stay happy and comfortable while you're away. I'll make every day feel as normal and consistent as possible. I care for every pet as if they were my own, while respecting the routines and preferences you've established. Before we begin, I like to learn about your pet's personality, daily schedule, favorite activities, feeding routine, medications, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. During each visit, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need, including fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise or playtime, potty breaks (for dogs), litter box cleaning (for cats), and plenty of attention and affection. Whether your pet is energetic and loves to play or prefers a calm companion, I'll tailor my care to what makes them happiest. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine. I'll keep everything clean and tidy, follow any instructions you've provided, and make sure your pet feels safe and secure in their familiar environment. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages after each visit, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and in good hands.
“Cali was a happy camper and got so excited to see Lacey for second walk. Lacey is very personable and definitely comfortable around animals. I’ll definitely use Lacey again.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience working with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and temperaments. I can administer medication. From cuddles to hikes and everything in between, I pride myself on tailoring my care to each individual pet's needs 😊 As an early riser, I am available for drop in visits/walks from 4 am through 10 pm. I do work a serving job with six hour shifts, but am available anytime I'm not at work. I am available for overnight care as well. I do not have any pets in my household but am fully set up to accommodate dogs as well as cats for overnight stays. I have plenty of space to store a crate if needed. I also do in-home visits.
About: Your pet will be loved and taken on whatever kind of adventure you prefer. Walking, hiking, skiing, or river time! Then, snuggling in the evening. I am a teacher so have the whole summer off to play! During the school year, my husband has a flexible schedule so between the two of us, we can take care of whatever your pet needs! I have a very friendly dog who will both want to play and snuggle:) Let us know what you need and we will take care of it!
“Liah was amazing , she came over and did a meet and greet with Violet and I. She was great with Violet. Always On time, asked questions. Felt extremely comfortable with her the first day we met. I would recommend Liah as a dog sitter to anyone of my clients , friends , family etc. She is great with communication and I loved all the pictures she would send. It’s hard being away from your 4 legged fur babies - Liah always made me feel and know that Violet was getting great care while I was away.”
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: 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!
About: I am an animal lover and will do anything in my power to ensure your furbaby is well-cared for and communication is clear and exceeds your expectations so you can ease your worries and take care of business or enjoy your vacation. I am available for drop in visits morning, throughout the day and at the end of the day. If your pet needs special attention let me know! If they are cat friendly they can stay at my place otherwise I can make arrangements to potentially stay at your place if your pet needs overnight care. My attention to detail and deep compassion will guide my care as I communicate with you to best understand needs, schedule and expectation of care. I love direct, clear communication that helps us make a plan and communicate any changes or challenges along the way.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Steamboat Springs
Elisabeth has been taking care of our dog, Val (aka Val the Wonder Dog - pictured in Elisabeth's profile photo), since long before she started with Rover. There is literally no one else we trust to take her for walks or keep her overnight when we go out of town (even once out of the country) as Val can be quite adventuresome! EB is loving and kind while also very clear about boundaries and keeping Val safe. Her text updates are hilarious and informative with just the right amount of detail. Her most recent walk that we booked through Rover was consistent with the kind of care we have come to expect from Elisabeth. Perhaps the best sign is how happy Val is every time she sees Elisabeth. I know there will be an abundance of belly rubs and walks when needed. Elisabeth and her husband, Mike, truly love dogs and are very knowledgeable when it comes to caring for them; I have learned a few things from them myself. This is best reflected in how much Val loves them and wants to be with them, even if she is always ecstatic when she sees us again!
Bridget was wonderful! She came to meet us beforehand to get the scoop and meet our dogs in person. She took our dogs for long walks and sent photos with happy puppy smiles. She was super responsive and would absolutely use her again. Recommend to anyone needing someone to take care of their animals for a weekend! Thank you Bridget!!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Steamboat Springs. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 .

- 82% of walkers 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
