“Visited Telluride for the weekend and was able to enjoy a dinner out knowing Reuben was well cared for. Ruthie even made sure to walk him right before i returned so that i didn't need to take him out.”
About: Having had several dogs in my life and a dog training License I feel your animals would be at home with me as much as you I do not have a dog and I just enjoy dogs, attitude, company and motivation. They would allow me to care and earn some extra cash. They will be treated like a member of the family in your home. The parameters that you set up will be respected Either way, the animal will feel safe and at peace
“Anna was wonderful with our Scout! It was her first time with our pup and she took such good care of him. He’s a reactive dog and she did a great job taking him out for his walk and then playing with him in our room. We will be scheduling with Anna again!”
“Martha was a lifesaver for us - we were getting married in Telluride and needed someone to feed our dog Lucy dinner and let her out to potty during the reception, Martha responded quickly and gladly came for a meet and greet a few days before the wedding. She obviously loves dogs and I immediately knew Lucy was in great hands. Martha checked in again the morning of the drop in to confirm timing - it was so nice not to have to worry about Lucy during our wedding! Thank you Martha!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner who has cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments from puppyhood to senior golden years. Looking forward to providing what your dog needs, whether that's cozy-calm companionship, playtime, and/or exploring on walks and hikes. Growing up I raised livestock, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of pet care needs, including administering medications, managing feeding routines, and paying close attention to behavior, safety, and comfort. Because I work on a school-year calendar, I have additional availability during the summer for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the week. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort by following each dog’s usual routine and paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual quirks.

“Sierra did an awesome job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town for four days. She kept me updated as to how they were doing and sent me the cutest pictures so I could see my babies while I was gone. She even went out of her way to come over a few days early to meet the cats and for me to show her where everything was. She is professional, responsive, and responsible. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.”

“Lee is amazing. I would put him in the catagory of a dog whisperer. He dropped by to give my two pooches a potty break while I was alway for a long time. Knowing they are highly protective of the house I worried there could be problems. According to Lee and the fun photos he sent it looked like they were having a party. Thank you a hundred times over.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life. My golden retriever and rescue are my entire world and I couldn’t imagine life without them. Adventures, coffee shops and hikes are much more enjoyable with dogs. Your pet will get to join us every morning and evening on our daily walks and may even get to go for a stroll for a pupuccino. This is my third summer in Silverton, Colorado. I watch dogs for weddings, long hikes, events & more. :) I work remotely, so I am available all day. My dogs and I typically walk every morning and evening weather pending. We love to be outdoors anytime it’s nice. I have two very friendly dogs that would love to entertain your dog. If your dogs are dog friendly, my dogs can always stay home with my fiancé. I work remotely so I am available to stay at your home full time with no work interruptions.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Telluride on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 90 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Telluride. 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 Telluride 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.
