“Annalina did a fantastic job taking care of Phineas. She responded quickly and asked so many good questions so she could take the best care possible. I've already booked her again :)”
About: I worked at a vet for the last year and a half of high school and majored in Animal Science before switching over to psychology. I love all (and have worked with many) animals ranging from great danes to ferrets. I have a big soft spot for cats, as I have two of my own, but I’m up for any challenge— whether you have an English mastiff, Shih Tzu, or a Maine Coon, I’m more than happy to help care for your babies! I’m currently a student at BYU-Idaho, so there may be times when I can’t spend all day at a house, but I can always come by in afternoons, evenings, and weekends! I am very comfortable giving animals any necessary medication/food/water, taking them outside, and playing with them. I will always make sure they are safe before I leave (picking small toys or items off the ground, making sure things are put away, etc) and will update you every day I am with your pet!
About: I love animals (although you probably gathered that since I’m on Rover)! Animals are my passion, which has led me to work towards a degree in Wildlife Management at BYUI. I would love any opportunity I can get to care for and play with your pets, especially since I’m unable to have my own while at school. My main experience is with dogs! I’ve taken care of my family’s dogs (3) for 7+ years, and they have a special place in my heart. I also have cared for my previous neighbors dogs and horses on a regular basis. I know how to handle multiple issues, including illness, aggressive behavior, fear and anxiety, etc. While I didn’t grow up with cats, it’s doesn’t mean I don’t love them too! I’m happy to provide them with all of the love and care they need. On a side note, Rover does take 20% of your payment so I’m not actually earning everything you pay. If you think I did a good job at the end of my services and you are willing and able, any extra tips are appreciated (but not at all expected)! I’m a university student, but typically have gaps in between classes. I would be able to care for your pets before, after, and in between my classes if you are close to campus. I own a car, so for pet sitting if you live farther away from campus that is not a problem. Just know that depending on the distance my check-ins may not be as frequent. I would be able to check in regularly (if home-sitting), as well as give your dog/cat the attention they need. If walking, I know how to engage and work with dogs, which comes in handy when encountering other animals. I’ll make sure to give them plenty of love!
About: As a remote professional who works full-time from home, I offer a premium level of care defined by constant supervision and flexible availability. While I am newly launching my professional services on Rover, I have a lifelong background of personal pet ownership and informal care for the pets of friends and neighbors. What sets my service apart is my 100% open availability during the day. Your pet will not be left alone for long stretches; instead, they will enjoy a structured routine, frequent potty breaks, and immediate attention whenever they need it. I am highly organized, exceptionally communicative, and committed to following your exact care instructions. I maintain a calm, quiet, and predictable home environment that is ideal for pets who experience separation anxiety or those who simply thrive on human companionship throughout the day. You can expect regular text updates and photos, giving you complete peace of mind while you are away. As a remote professional working full-time from home, my schedule is exceptionally flexible, allowing me to integrate dedicated pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I am fully available throughout the day for continuous supervision, regular potty breaks, and interactive playtime. Whether providing boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my work-from-home setup ensures your pet is never left unattended for long stretches and receives reliable, attentive care seven days a week. Safety is my highest priority, and my home is optimized to provide a secure, stress-free environment. I feature a fully fenced, secure yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. For socialization, I have friendly resident pets to keep your dog company; however, I maintain a highly organized space where I can easily crate, separate, or provide private zones for your pet if they prefer quiet time or require a gradual introduction. I strictly follow your specific feeding, medication, and safety instructions to maintain their exact home routine.
About: I've worked in veterinary care for two years all the way from basic boarding and grooming to assisting veterinarians, handling basic medical procedures, and recovery. I'm currently a full time student. So once class is out I am free for the rest of the day and I can convince myself that homework is easy enough to shuffle around. I have two years of experience working with dogs in an animal hospital. Completely comfortable working with all shapes and sizes. I'll take care of your dog like they were my own
About: Animals are family, and that’s the approach I take when caring for them! I have extensive experience with a wide variety of dog breeds, sizes, personalities, and training techniques. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a daily walk, or some extra love and attention while you’re away, I would be happy to provide them with the same care I would give my own pets! My schedule is extremely open and flexible, allowing me to easily accommodate pet care throughout the day and week while giving each animal plenty of time and attention. I follow each pet’s routine closely, providing plenty of exercise needed, affection wanted, supervision, and patience while respecting yours and their space, habits, and individual needs.
About: I am a Zoologist, I love to create different enrichments to keep animals entertained and engaged. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, goats, pigs, bunnies, chickens, otters, and wolves. I have experience administering medication and looking out for any troubling signs in animals. I love interacting with animals and getting to know their different personalities. I am currently working full-time, but I have the weekends and evenings to spend with your dogs and cats. I am willing to travel half an hour from St Anthony. I am a trained zoologist, so I am not afraid of cleaning big messes and making sure all your pet's needs are met if not exceeded.

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 Thornton. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers 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 walker.
