“Victoria was amazing and kept me informed and sent me pics of Garfield. I truly appreciated that as it was our first time being separated for that length of time. I’m sorry that it took him so long to warm up to her, but I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely request Victoria in the future!”
“She’s absolutely amazing. My dog is very caution of people and within 15 minutes he was by her side letting her pet his face. She gives plenty of photos and makes me feel so comfortable knowing my dogs are well taken care of!”
About: I have been around many different kinds of pets all of my life! I am excited to take care of your babies! I have a dog and two cats myself. I am currently working full time, but I am available on the weekends. I can potentially be available the weekdays after 6pm if needed. :) I can easily make an animal feel comfortable and confident in any environment, I don’t offer at home pet care, so they will be safe!
About: I have experience caring for different kinds of animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to their needs, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving medication when needed, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important pets are to their owners, so I always try to treat them with love, care, and attention as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need every day. I care for pets by following their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving them lots of attention and care. I always try to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.
About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a part time student who is studying biology, and when I’m not studying I’m a vet assistant working in Boulder! I can do everything from administer medication to belly rubs. I love pets and have two dogs of my own, and just recently moved to Boulder and love the area. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks! I currently have a very open schedule, so your pets needs would be very prioritized throughout the day/night depending on the service I will be giving your pet! When caring for pets in a clients home it is very important to me to provide them with their proper food and water, regular exercise and playtime with them, plus any medication that needs to be administered if needed. It is also important to me that the veterinarians phone number would be given when staying overnight in case of an emergency.
“I really enjoyed meeting Dakota during our meet and greet and our cats loved her right off the bat! It is obvious that she is a person who loves all animals and respects the planet and its creatures. She was happy to fill our birdbath daily as well as put out seeds for the birds, squirrels and other little creatures (as I do daily when I am home). I came home to cats that looked well fed and all of my plants were alive (something that sadly hasn't been the case with some previous cat sitters.) Dakota even made an extra last-minute visit to the house to check on the cats when a situation arose. I look forward to having Dakota back again.”
“Declan was great! Very responsive and a delight to work with. My wife and I just moved to SLC and immediately went on a trip after, so we were nervous about leaving our babies in a new place, but he was very reassuring and took excellent care of them. As an added bonus he’s a master pet photographer and captured great shots of our little monsters. We will absolutely be reaching out to him for all our future trips!”
About: I take care of your pets as you would! I follow your instructions to the letter and provide love and care as I do for my own pup! I’m all about the play and cuddles, the exercise and nurturing, and I respect and care for your home as well. I am reliable and honor my commitments! I will be providing pet care as I pursue additional educational and other entrepreneurial endeavors, so I am very flexible and committed to meeting the needs of my clients and their cherished pets! I care for pets in your home per our agreement — staying in your home while you are away and/or dropping in as needed for walks, breaks, and/or feedings.
“WOW. Where do I even start?? I was literally scared to leave my cat alone with a stranger because when I travel I usually leave him with my ex and her family would take care of him because they are familiar with his routine. Bob is 11 years old and has diabetes, and although he is extremely micromanaged with his insulin and on a raw diet, he is in amazing health. The thought of leaving him with someone who didn’t understand his needs and could risk messing up his health is frightening to me. Morgan came by and explained that she has given meds before, but not insulin shots, but her extreme love of animals made her focus on all the minutiae of what I was telling her in reference to how to care for Bob. I have her a chart on how much insulin to give based on the blood glucose readings she would take on EACH VISIT. She paid attention, learned how to read the tester, how to withdraw the insulin via syringe, and how to administer it accordingly. I have two webcams set up in my home and I was able to watch how Bob interacted with her during the visits, and he warmed up to her VERY quickly, which does not usually happen because Bob and I live with each other and no one else, so visitors tend to make him skittish and hide under the bed for hours at a time. He would actually wait at the door for Morgan on the 3rd day of a 4 day visit session, which was wonderful for me to see. I cannot recommend Morgan enough. I have already spoken to her about becoming my permanent go-to as my sitter when I have to go out of town. It’s a very good feeling to have someone that’s the same person for all the visits as that makes Bob feel great as well! Thank you, Morgan!!”
About: I am a friendly face more than happy to help with any paw services, spanning from walks to sittings and more. All ages animals welcomed! I have a very flexible schedule, as long as walks or sittings are requested in advance. As long as parents communicate needs, I can accommodate them. I will follow all directions given from parents, and make sure the animal’s needs are met. Typically would prefer sitting at the animal’s house, I feel it makes them more comfortable.
About: I walked my professor’s dog for 2 ½ years straight, brought him to the dog park and ran with him many many times. I continued my experience walking dogs in Austin, TX. Dogs nearly always want to come and lick my face! 😂 I get along with almost any dog I meet :) I’m not working my normal job at the minute so I’m open and able to help you with your pets, birds, dogs, and cats! I hope I can be of help to you :) I will not be hosting dogs at my home but I could very much sit your dog or cat at your home if you would like me to :)
“Kamilla stayed at our house and took care of our two young cats for a little over a week. She was very communicative, took great care of the cats and was very respectful of our home. We have already booked her for two more upcoming trips and we would highly recommend her to anyone else!”

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.
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 .
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
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.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
