About: I have worked with horses, cats, dogs, and all animals my whole life. They are my world and I want to make this my career. Anytime, anywhere, I am there for your pet. Leaving my pets alone gives me anxiety so I can only imagine what it feels like for other pet owners and I want to help! I have two dogs that are spoiled rotten for whatever they want. They are safe, they comfortable, and they are loved. I cuddle them daily.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Growing up, my mom always told me, “When you’re older, you can have as many animals as you want,” and I definitely took that seriously! 😂🐾 I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels—from laid-back companions and sweet seniors to young puppies and high-energy working breeds. I understand that every dog is different and deserves care that fits their individual needs, routine, and personality. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs who need structure and engagement, puppies who are still learning, and older dogs who may need a slower pace and a little extra patience. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every dog in my care like one of my own. ❤️🐶 I work from home, which allows me to be home throughout the day and keep a close eye on the pups in my care! 🐾 I love having the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, attention, cuddles, and plenty of supervision. Your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I’m able to adjust my day around their normal routine as much as possible. Having dogs around while I work honestly makes my day even better! ❤️🐶 Every pup in my care is treated like part of the family! 🐾 Since I work from home, I’m able to provide plenty of supervision throughout the day, along with regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, attention, and lots of love. Safety is also a big priority in my home. I keep extra crates available when needed, spare leashes as a backup, and have privacy/safety screening around my patio to help block openings and keep curious pups secure. I’m careful about doors, outdoor time, feeding, and interactions between dogs, and I’m happy to provide separate spaces when needed. Every dog is different, so I’ll follow your pup’s normal feeding schedule, crate routine, training cues, medication needs, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while you’re away! 🐶❤️
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, both as a pet owner and a sitter. I understand that consistency is key, so I follow their routines to make each stay as comfortable and stress free as possible. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, or extra snuggles, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need while you’re away. As a house sitter, I keep your home secure, tidy, and running smoothly by bringing in mail, watering plants, and maintaining your pet’s usual routine. My house sitting rate includes up to 1 hour of walking each day. I provide up to two detailed updates per day, typically once in the morning and again in the early evening. If anything unexpected comes up in between, I’ll reach out right away. This approach helps me stay fully present and focused on your pet’s care while keeping you comfortably in the loop. I offer overnight house sitting as well as limited drop in visits during select holiday periods, including Halloween , Thanksgiving and the Christmas/New Year holiday season. Drop ins are a good option for pets who are comfortable staying home while their people are away and need a visit for meals, potty breaks, medication, playtime, or companionship. Holiday drop in availability is limited and will be shown on my calendar. Please let me know if there are any cameras inside your home and their locations. Thank you! I work part-time and have time everyday to care for your pet. For overnight sits, I’m never gone for more than 7 hours at mid-day, so there’s plenty of time for your pet’s morning and evening routines. I do not provide care in my home, but am available for overnight stays in your home. Your pet(s) will be right at home in your home.

About: I have been an animal lover my entire life — my very first pet was a poodle named Poodle, and I was two years old. Over the decades I've cared for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, fish, hermit crabs, hamsters, and gerbils, so whatever your pet needs, there's a good chance I've been there before. I spent nearly 30 years running a licensed home daycare in Westminster, which means I know how to keep a structured, safe, nurturing environment — the same qualities that make for exceptional pet care. Patience, consistency, and genuine attentiveness aren't new skills for me; they've been my full-time job for most of my adult life. I recently said goodbye to my large dog and my cat, both to old age. I still share my home with Dobby, my sweet senior Chihuahua mix, who is as gentle and welcoming as they come. Honestly, the house feels quieter without a full crew of animals in it — and that's exactly what brought me to Rover. I miss having pets to love and care for, and pet sitting feels like the perfect way to fill that space while giving your fur babies a warm, experienced home away from home. Westminster has been my home for nearly 30 years, and I'm excited to serve the pets and families right here in my community. My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs to roam, explore, and play. I love getting outside and have several parks within easy reach for walks and exercise. I've cared for pets at every life stage — puppies, adults, and seniors — and am comfortable with a variety of needs including feeding routines, medications, and age-specific care. I'm a homebody who is fully present and attentive throughout the day. I'm up by 4:30am, which means early morning walks are something I genuinely enjoy — not just a checkbox. From there the day is structured around your pet's needs, with a balance of activity and rest. I take an afternoon walk as well as an evening wind-down walk, and my day wraps up around 9pm. Potty breaks happen as needed throughout. Your pet will have plenty of playtime, plenty of snuggle time, and a calm, consistent rhythm from morning to night. Your pet's safety is always front of mind. When we're out of the house I stay aware of our surroundings and avoid any situations that could cause stress or danger. At home, my large fenced backyard gives dogs room to roam freely without worry. I allow pets on furniture and in bed if that's what they're used to at home — my goal is to make them feel as comfortable here as they do with you.
About: Hi! I’m a dependable dog walker with 25+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I’ve provided trusted care for friends, neighbors, and new clients, including energetic puppies, large breeds, and senior dogs. Safety, patience, and understanding each dog’s unique personality are always my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for on every walk. I currently work full time from 8-3:30 Monday through Friday caring for special needs high school students….Although it doesn’t pay enough, I still love it! Looking to supplement my income. I live in a pet-friendly apartment that is clean, safe, and comfortable, with plenty of space for relaxation and play. I’m happy to provide regular walks, exercise, and lots of attention to ensure your dog feels at home and well cared for.
“Zoe & Ava did a great job watching our 3 cats for a week while we were traveling internationally. During one of their visits they found an issue with one of our feeding devices. They communicated the issue well and were able to resolve it promptly! I would recommend!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and always would be the one to look after a friends pet or take them for a walk. I would love to help you out! I work full time and would be available early mornings or late at night! Weekends are always available. I walk my dog about two miles 4 times a week! I have a fenced in yard. It is a big house with plenty of room for a dog to run around, play catch, & be happy!
About: I've always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and keep their dogs company while they're away. I also have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own by providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while following your pet's routine and any special instructions you provide. I work full-time during the weekdays (7:00 AM–3:30 PM), but I'm available for pet care in the evenings, on weekends, and on many holidays. I make time every day to care for animals and will ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'll always communicate with you throughout the visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I'll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so you always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for.
About: Hi! I’m Loren 😇 I love all animals and I constantly have the worst case of PET FEVER, but unfortunately, I’m just not in a place where I can have a pet of my own 🥺…. Hence where you come in! I’m originally from AZ and moved here for work and I couldn’t bring my fur baby with me 🥺 I would love to be able to give all that love that I have in my heart to your furry loved ones and look after them as if they were my very own until your return. I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and cats I’m familiar with after taking care of a few friends’ and families’ in the past. I’m willing to take care of ANY pet though! I’ve been around all animals growing up so I feel I’m capable to care for them, but any instruction/advice is happily welcomed! I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry companions! I do work full-time, but I’m happy to check in on pets before/after I go in. My weekends are where I could spend the most time with them. Although, my work schedule isn’t too flexible, I’m willing to work around anything to make it the most comfortable for you and your pet. I live alone so if your pet is able to be alone for long periods of time while im at work, this would be the most ideal scenario. Otherwise, I would leave them in the crate while I’m out of the house.

“She had watched our cat before and she's still great! Thank you so much for taking care of lemon, she looks so happy! Will keep booking through her as she has been perfect!”

“We had such a great experience with Noah and would absolutely book him again. Our two cats are a little extra and have very specific routines, and he handled it all with ease. He took the time to get to know their personalities and quirks, and it really showed. We came home to two happy, relaxed cats, which is saying a lot. Noah kept us updated with messages and photos, which made being away so much easier. If your pets have big personalities and a few preferences, he’s a great choice.

“Abigail is very prompt, thorough, and responsive in her communication. She took great care of my two dogs, making sure they were fed and giving them needed outdoors breaks. I highly recommend Abigail.”

“5 stars all around!! Otis was very happy and healthy after 6 days of Kaitlyn visits. Everything was very clean and orderly when we got back from our trip and Kaitlyn sent us several pictures and videos every time that she came over so that we could see him. Thank youuuu”

“Miriam was great! She did a 30 minute check in for my cat, Ruth, while I was out of town. She showed up right on time for the pre-check in meetup and was very attentive while I showed her the food and litter box. During the check in, she did a great job taking care of Ruth and sent loads of pics and funny updates. She also messaged me the day before the check in, just to confirm she would be there the next day, which was nice. I will definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I absolutely love animals! Whether its watching tv together or playing with their toys, my animals and I always have fun together :) your fur baby will have a great time with me I am currently a full time student and a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty much open. The weekends are a little tricky and I would have to bring my son with me, but I am open for walking your dog on the weekends too or stopping in to give them a potty break. I have one cat that I own currently. She's pretty calm and I feed her once a day. When I had a dog, I fed him twice a day and took him on walks and we played with his tug of war toys. For your dog, I could walk them and feed them if you would like

Our animals love Kayli and so do we! She’s incredibly reliable, always sends pictures of our babies, and makes sure they’re taken care of exactly how we ask! We use her for drop in visits when we’re out of town and feel so safe with trusting our home and pets with her :)

Julianne’s been reliable, responsive and an absolute joy. Bowie heard the front door unlock the other day (an entrance we don’t use often) and stopped what he was doing to wait eagerly at the door. Quickly we realized he had started associating the door lock sound with Julianne’s arrival, and it made me so happy that seeing her is something he looks forward to.

Wendy is the absolute best! I had ongoing visits scheduled for almost a year and she was 100% reliable. Her communication is excellent and she is flexible if schedules change. She is great with my dog and very attentive. Overall, I highly recommend booking with her as I’m sure your pets will love her!

Noel was absolutely wonderful taking care of our dog, Ursula, during her drop in visits while we were away. She provided thoughtful updates and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our favorite part was seeing Ursula’s silly personality shine through in the pictures. It was clear she felt comfortable, happy, and had so much fun with Noel. We came home to a happy, well cared for pup and could not have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with Noel again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable Rover.

I have been looking for a consistent person to watch my dog and Taylor is the perfect fit!! Mello loves her so much and she takes care of him like he is her own! I came home to a happy healthy dog!! I am so glad I found taylor and will continue to book with her moving forward. Thank you so much Taylor!!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Thornton choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

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 .
