About: I’m a Humane Society volunteer based in Steamboat Springs with experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. After recently wrapping up my nannying role caring for my niece, I’m looking to provide loving, dependable pet care while building supplemental income. I bring patience, attention to detail, and a genuine love for helping animals feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize pet care throughout the day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I enjoy making space in my routine to give pets the attention and care they deserve. I care for pets like they’re my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I stick to their usual routines, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and always keep their space clean and calm. Whether I’m in your home or mine, their well-being is my top priority.

About: I have experience with small mammals, cats and dogs. I have administered medications to both cats and dogs. I have worked with elderly dogs needing extra care. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I can do drop-ins any time of the day. I can even work from your home if it makes it easier! We currently have 2 middle aged dogs. They are dog friendly and pretty big couch potatoes. They do not use a crate but I can accommodate a crate if that is what your dog needs.
“Lacey saved the day! Our cat sitter got sick and Lacey jumped right in and took incredible care of Gimli! When she noticed the cat litter bag was empty she bought a replacement! She is very responsive to every message and sends cute photos & detailed notes on each visit! We will be calling Lacey for all of our pet sitting in the future😊”


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: 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: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my entire life. I also work remotely so I’m able to spend more time with the animals keeping them company. I work mostly remotely so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend more time with the animals. I’m able to give walks and potty breaks more regularly than if I had a “9-5” job. I enjoy watching dogs in their home environment so they’re more comfortable. I love walking dogs and will give them play time as needed depending on the individual dog. I really try to tailor the experience to the individual dog to keep the dog comfortable and happy ♥️
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)
“Absolutely wonderful to work with! Her communication was absolutely amazing and she treated our home and more importantly our baby girl with so much kindness and respect we have no words! We 100% recommend her!”

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 grew up with dogs and cats always in the house, and I have experience caring for all kinds of pets; dogs, cats, rabbits, mice/rats, birds, etc. I also spent 5 years on active duty and will ensure your property stays safe and secure. My current day work allows me time throughout the day to be able to go let dogs out, feed and water, etc. I also have reliable transportation. I do not care for pets in my home, but I am more than happy to travel to you to help care for your loved ones!
“Emily was great for care. She was great to communicate with as we were planning our trip to Fargo. Thanks for the pic of our puppy. We will be asking Emily to help next time we come back here.”
About: I've watched, walked, and groomed dog for a couple of years nope. I've got a pup of my own and have had such great experiences with Rover. Want to be able to give back to those who have helped me and my pup out as well! I can walk/watch most afternoons and evenings. My work schedule is very flexible and will be able to walk through lunch as well as at night. I am free all day on Fridays and Saturdays. I'm am very active and will be willing to take your dog on longer walks/runs. I am very attentive to dog behavior and very communicative if there is anything that needs to be touched on. I am available to do wellness checks as well as overnight sitting.
“I've used Mayra twice now. One time Ally stayed with her and this last time she came by the house a couple times while I was out of town. Best service I've had and will continue to use Mayra when she's available! ”

About: I’ve always loved watching dogs no matter the kind. I always dog sit for coworkers and friends. I love taking the dogs for long walks and hikes! I throughly enjoy spending them with your pups! I currently work full time Monday-Friday but have a dog friendly office and a flexible work schedule as far as leaving to let the dog out if needed. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and a dog park right down the street. I love taking the dogs to the park and playing catch or whatever they prefer!
About: I've taken care of dogs and horses all my life, and I am currently a horse rescue volunteer and feel there isn't a pet I can't handle. As an animal lover, I'll love on yours like my own and send you 5,000 pictures of them among the stunning Steamboat scapes along the core trail, where I love to take them on long healthy walks. Most importantly, I know what it's like to travel away from your pet and crave peace of mind that they are taken care of; that is my goal when they are in my care. I work from home with a freelancer schedule. I have two hands-on small dogs, so I am used to high-maintenance dogs and their constant care schedule. I have a home right near the core trail and a small backyard; I take long walks multiple times a day and think that’s one of the most important facets of pet care. I also know what it’s like to be away from your dogs and need peace of mind with your caregiver. I work from home so have an incredible amount of flexibility. We can plan your dogs’ specific routines together, but frequent breaks and play or walk time with your dog will become part of my schedule. I have two senior dogs and understand the exceptionally hands-on care they may require. I have grassy areas in my front and backyards, and also live minutes from the Core Trail.
“Taylor was awesome with my two cats! She took great care of them, was very communicative and friendly, and sent pictures while I was away. Highly recommended - thank you, Taylor!”

About: I love animals. Happy to fill in gaps for busy pet parents with the care your pet needs. I can help with walks, food, water, play, etc. I’ll always send pics! I’ll always keep my calendar up to date and communicate my schedule regularly. I’m available via email, text or call so we can be in touch. I’ll come to you! I’ll come meet you and your pet before our first get together and you can show me exactly how everything works.

“I highly recommend Michelle! She took excellent care of my husky/border mix who is 14 years old and a bit quirky. Michelle is responsive, conscientious, kind and loves animals. She took the worry out of leaving my dog behind while on vacation. Margie L”

Sophie was great taking care of our multiple cats, 2 with special needs, one requiring a daily pill. She was very commutative and consistent, which gave us peace of mind as we traveled. She also watered our plants which was a huge help. We came home to a tidy house with the cat litter swept up and food bowls cleaned. We will use her again and can highly recommend.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 106 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Steamboat Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Steamboat Springs 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.

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 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.
