“I can't say enough about the quality care and attention Julia gave our dog, Spencer.

About: Cats aren’t just pets to me—they’re family. I care for kittens, seniors, and special-needs cats, administer medications, clean litter boxes, tidy accidents, play, cuddle, and respect every cat’s unique personality.
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was a young teen. Neighbors, family & friends have relied on me to walk, feed and care for their pets while away from home. I have experience with special needs, puppies, senior and dogs of all ages. My work schedule is flexible allowing me to easily schedule times for regular pet walks and play time. Especially during the cooler times of day. My yard is fenced with shady areas for the warmer days and a doggie door for paw traffic. Both, front & back house doors open into fenced yards.
“Eleshia was amazing with my senior cat that requires medicine 2x per day. Very communicative and followed care guidelines perfectly! We will definitely be using her again when available!”
“Lauren was quick to respond to my request for pet sitting over Thanksgiving weekend. She accepted the job and followed through on her promise after several others backed out on us. She took good care of our two cats and kept us informed. Highly recommend her to care for your pets.”
About: I am an avid animal lover with 13 years of experience under my belt! I’ve take care of dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and rabbits and loved every second of it and I would love to take care of your pets too. I make sure to treat every single animal like my own and as if they were a human baby which essentially they are! I have taken care of animals for family and friends as well as my own and I wish to become a sitter on rover to continue this while helping others out in this crazy world! As it’s summer I am available Monday-Wednesday for the entire day! I do work the rest of the week but I can fit sitting/walks in when needed/requested. I care for pets like they are my own and they are beautiful animals with emotions just like us and I treat them as such. With care, compassion, love, respect and I make sure to engage with them so they get their daily mental stimulation either through playing or puzzles!
“Shelby took great care of our cat who needs some extra attention, including daily medication and has a bit of separation anxiety. We appreciated the photos she sent and comments about how he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend Shelby and look forward to booking her again in the future.”
“Kasse is always on time with giving all the love to my furry alligator. She is very professional, while still having fun with a job that should be fun. Second time using her services and will be returning”
“Cecily did great with Binx! It was the longest I’ve ever been away from the little guy, and she sat and played with him to keep him company while I was away. Highly recommended her to watch your fur babies!”
About: I have 3 dogs of my own of various sizes and 2 cats. I love taking care of pets and have experience pet sitting and volunteering at the animal shelter. I currently work full time remotely so I can be flexible with drop ins, walks, and house sitting if I am able to work in your home or commute back and forth! I am comfortable with different settings and multiple pets! I have the most experience with cats and dogs, however I can to care for other pets as well, if shown!

About: I have four dogs, and two cats. I treat all pets as if my own kids. I am good at potty training if needed, and special diets or any meds they need to take. I can take care of guinea pigs as well. I have owned them before. I will NOT watch a dog over 50-60 pds max. The only times I am away from home is usually for doctor appts. I am available for emergency situations as well. I know people don't think about that so its good to have a plan just incase the unfortunate happens, and u need me to go pick up the furbaby and bring them to my house until you are able to care for them. Know they will be safe and loved. I have a fenced backyard, as well as four dogs that would keep them company, and play with them while they are here. I can feed them separately as well. In your home I will make sure they are safe and can't get out and get lost. I have never lost a pet in my care.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Palisade
Prices are estimates per day for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
“Amazing experience. Great person and sitter. Immediately felt comfortable leaving our dog, and our dog gave no hesitation to walk in, stay, and be left. We have a nervous dog, so new places and people can make her hesitant. She immediately took to the sitter and the house. We received pics of her activities through the day and she seemed so happy and confident. If she is uncomfortable it becomes obvious quickly, once we received a pic of her napping and comfortable we knew we made the right decision. I am so glad we took our dog here, and she came home tired and stress free. Wonderful experience. Next time we come to the area this is the person we want to watch our dog.”
“Dan was able to accommodate a daycare session last minute when we had a medical emergency. He cared for our pup like his own, sent a bunch of pictures spread throughout the day and even a video. This really helped us to know that our pup was having a fun time and being well cared for. We are grateful for Dan and his pups for the wonderful day they gave our pup while we were dealing with serious health issues. If you’ve come across Dan while looking for someone to care for your dog, look no further. If he has space on your schedule, just press request.”
About: Aloha! I’m Amber, a pet sitter based in Grand Junction, Colorado, with 14 years of pet care experience. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors, as well as a wide variety of breeds and sizes, ranging from Yorkies to Great Danes. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I tailor their care accordingly. - I currently offer boarding in my home for up to three dogs from the same household at a time, allowing me to provide each guest with plenty of individual attention and care. My goal is to provide a comfortable, home-like environment where your pets can feel safe, settled, and cared for while you’re away. - In addition to dogs, I have previous experience caring for cats, birds, reptiles, and other small animals. I’m not currently offering standalone boarding services for these pets; however, additional pets from the same household may be considered when boarding your dog. - At this time, I’m only offering boarding in my home and am not available for in-home pet sitting at other locations. Feel free to message me with any questions or to discuss your pet’s individual needs! I work from home, so I’ll be available throughout your pet’s stay to help maintain their normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and secure. Home Environment: My home has a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, play, and potty breaks. We also live just a short drive from a local trail and park. I have a 20 lb male Havanese who lives in the home. - Drop-Off & Introductions: I typically do a quick door hand-off at drop-off to help keep the transition calm and minimize distractions. Once your dog(s) come inside with me, they’re given time to explore the space at their own pace. We’ll unpack their things and give them some time to settle in and get comfortable before introducing them to my dog. Introductions are done one-on-one, gradually, and under my close supervision. - Exclusive Care & Multiple-Household Bookings: For safety and to help everyone adjust comfortably, I accept no more than three guest dogs at a time. For dogs who are reactive or have higher exercise and enrichment needs, including some high-energy and sporting breeds, I may limit this to two depending on my partner’s schedule so I can provide each dog with the attention they need. I’ve recently opened up my schedule to accept weekend daycare bookings from different households at the same time. At the time I respond to your initial request, I actively consider your dog(s) on my schedule while we’re ironing out the details. If another household is interested in the same dates, I’ll always let you know and discuss it with you first. I will not accept another household once your dog(s) are already in my care unless it has been discussed and approved by you prior to arrival. If you prefer exclusive care, please let me know! There is no additional charge for exclusive care, and once your booking is confirmed as exclusive, I will not accept another household for the same dates or overlapping drop-off/pick-up times. If there happens to be a same-day drop-off/pick-up conflict due to close timing windows, I’ll work with you to see if your dog(s) are comfortable riding in my car or truck and whether pickup or drop-off at your home would be a good option. Certain households will automatically receive exclusive care, including females in heat, intact males, puppies who are still completing their vaccination series, and senior dogs with modified vaccination schedules. For multiple-household bookings, I will confirm that all dogs are up to date on core vaccinations plus Bordetella. Safety comes first, and multiple-household bookings will always depend on each dog’s temperament, needs, and compatibility. - Supervision & Separation: Playtime is supervised, and separation from my own dog using a playpen or kennel is available as needed for individual enrichment, personal space, or throughout the stay if your dog(s) are more comfortable on their own. Dogs are also separated during mealtimes based on their individual needs, feeding habits, and comfort levels. - Routines & Training Tools: If your dog normally sleeps or eats in a crate, please bring it with them when possible so I can maintain their usual routine. Depending on the size of their crate or setup, I may not always be able to accommodate their typical arrangement, so please let me know in advance. Barking is completely expected, so please don’t worry if your dog tends to be vocal. I just appreciate a heads up! If your dog currently uses a clicker, e-collar, muzzle, or other training tool as part of their established routine, I’m happy to continue using it during their stay. Please let me know ahead of time and provide any instructions needed for proper use. - Last-Minute Bookings & Availability: For last-minute bookings, I may have prior commitments that require me to be out of the home for a short period. If so, I’ll let you know prior to confirming. My partner, Dalton, also works from home and would be here during that timeframe to watch over your dog(s). I also have two Furbo cameras set up in the home so I can check in while I’m away. - At this time, I only offer pet sitting in my home and am not available for in-home sitting at other locations.
About: I grew up on a farm with cats, dogs, pigs, goats and horses! I worked with a breeder so I have lots of experience with puppies and mothers. Most dogs I've spent time with are high energy dogs like Australian shepard's but I've also spent time with low energy like Saint Bernards. I am a travel occupational therapist currently taking a break from moving around. Currently not working so I am very free! I love morning walks. I live in a camper but your fur baby will not be home alone! Our campground has a fenced dog run and I would love to visit some parks if comfortable. I can visit your pet within their home at any time of day.
“Eleshia was everything we could hope for and more! She took great care of our small dog, was flexible on timing, and offered up stellar recommendations for what to do in the area. 10 stars if I could give them!”
“Julia was able to help me with a last minute request for daycare while I was at work. She was so good to my Finley and very professional and accommodating. I would absolutely use Julia again for dog sitting.”
About: I grew up with several dogs growing up. Now I have my own best friend who’s a lab mix. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them! They make me happy!

“Sharon took wonderful care of our pup. Her pack welcomed him with barks and sniffs. He came home exhausted and happy, no signs of stress. She is close to our home so he will be back! Thanks, Sharon!”
“Ashley took a great care of Bolt while I was attending a concert in Grand Junction! He got along with the kids and their dog Molly pretty well, and they played a lot in the yard. Ashley made sure they're fed separately as I requested, and provided regular updates with photos. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again.”
About: I have always believed that a house isn’t a home without the unconditional love of a dog. Throughout my life, my happiest moments have been defined by furry family members greeting me at the door with wet noses, endless kisses, and wagging tails. Yet, like any devoted pet parent, I know the familiar pang of guilt and anxiety that comes with walking out the door—whether it’s just for a quick daily errand, a long day at work, or a much-needed vacation. Our pets thrive on routine, familiarity, and love. Leaving them behind is often the hardest part of being a pet owner. Now that I am retired, I have dedicated my time and passion to help other dog lovers minimize or even solve this dilemma. Imagine a life where traveling or working doesn't mean leaving your pet only to face an empty house or even worse, confined to a kennel. Instead, you can step away with complete peace of mind, knowing your fur babies are in the hands of someone who will care for them like family and support the routines they are used to and comfortable with. I would love the opportunity to do this for you and your sweet friend(s). Please take a look at the services I offer, and contact me today so we can keep your pets happy, safe, and loved while you are away. I cannot imagine a more rewarding way to spend my retirement than caring for your beloved pups and kitties. To ensure the best possible care, I always request an initial meet-and-greet with you and your pet(s), ideally in their own comfortable environment. Once we establish that we are a great fit, we can begin scheduling regular visits. Over time, as your pet becomes completely comfortable with me, my home will also be open to them for overnight stays and day care should the need arise. I look forward to learning your specific routines to keep your pets safe and sound. Their time with me will be fully tailored to whatever your fur baby loves most—whether that means playing fetch, cuddling on the couch, enjoying mealtime, or taking trips to the park. Regardless of whether I am walking your dog or dropping in to check on your kitty, safety is always my top priority.

About: I’ve always had a pet of my own until early 2026 when my senior dog had passed, however I do have a history of working at a veterinary hospital.

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. I love animals because they make me happy! What else makes me happy is helping other people out to take care of there fur babies :) I have experience of watching dogs and cats. I am very active and love spending time with animals I work full time! From 7:30am to 5:00 pm Monday-Thursday. I have Friday- Sunday off. For dog walking services I am only available for evenings after 6pm. I can do walk your dogs anytime during the weekend I no longer provide boarding at my apartment due to saving a house. I moved back in with my parents and they have lots of animals themselves. I moved back in with my folks till I can save a for a house. They have three cats and two dogs. For myself I have a corgi since I was 20 years old. I adopted a special needs kitten back in August!
About: I'm a single mother to a 8 1/2 year old boy & we absolutely love having dogs in home with us! We currently have no dogs of our own, since losing our pitbull in 2018. Losing her was difficult, as she was with us through the most trying times- after my son's father passed away suddenly. She helped care for us & I'm looking for some furry little loves to share our home and time with to help fill her absence, as well as those fur parents who need loving sitters! I'm currently working part-time, and would love to have a couple fur babies to spend time with at home with my son in our down time. We are home literally every night, and I have a flexible schedule. I have one older kitty who lives in my room. He's completely closed off from all dogs and has never had any altercations, as his presence typically goes undetected. We have many dogs who are our regulars that are not cat friendly & have never seen him, as we keep my bedroom door closed. He also sleeps behind closed closet doors every night, so the there is no night mischief. We try to take two walks a day when dogs are with us, weather permitting! We take dogs to walk in grassy parks when the pavement is too hot. We live in a townhouse that has a fenced back yard that we share with two other rentals; we're a triplex. There is only one other dog in the community that is dog/human/kid friendly - although my neighbor and I typically peek out before letting the dogs loose so they have the yard to themselves. My back yard faces an open field on the edge of town, providing an incredibly safe, tucked away, and quiet neighborhood. My son is a loving child who displays love and sympathy for dogs. He loves to help, play, feed, give treats, and help walk them when the dog & him are appropriately matched. We've been operating for 4 years now and have taken care of homes, bunnies, chickens, dogs, goats, cats, and are willing to help with other house sitting duties such as picking up packages, mail, and watering gardens & plants. Thanks for considering us! *Please be aware of personal cancelation policy.* My schedule is flexible and I'm around a lot, thankfully. I usually run out for 4 hours on Mondays and Thursdays for my part time job. We abide by all owner rules! We have space for crates, and try to make it as easy going as possible! We have extra toys, treats, bowls, beds & belly rubs!

I love snuggles and look forward to making your fur babies feel as comfortable and happy as possible. Taking care of animals is just part of my everyday life! I have two dogs of my own, so I’m used to walks, playtime, feeding, and keeping a good routine. I love being around animals and easily fit pet care into my day. I try to keep things as close to the pet’s normal routine as possible. I follow instructions carefully, give lots of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I also send updates so owners know their pets are doing great!
“One of the best dog sitters we've had the pleasure of working with! Melanie was on the ball: never a food time missed or a walk uncounted. She sent us great pictures of the dogs and was punctual, communicated beautifully and made us feel like our dogs were in great hands. We appreciate her professionalism every step of the way. We would not hesitate to ask her again to watch our dogs, and feel honored she gave us her time and expertise. Thank you so much, Melanie!!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I most recently had two dogs, a chihuahua and rotty mix. One big and one small dog! I currently live in a tiny apartment, so I try to find ways to get my dog fix in. I regularly volunteer to walk dogs at local shelters here in Grand Junction. I have experience with small and large dogs of all age ranges. I’m punctual with my schedules and can be relied on to make timely visits or give medications/food. I’m also comfortable house sitting your home and keeping up on all your chores/needs while you are away! I work seasonally for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, so in my off season I have lots of extra time to take care of pups I have a gentle demeanor when meeting/walking new to me dogs. I can adjust my care to suit whatever needs your dog may have
About: I have had pets of all sorts my entire life. My earliest memories are of helping my parents care for and train each litter of our Siberian husky puppies before they go to they're forever homes. I am currently a stay at home mom to my 3yr old son and 1yr old daughter. We just bought a 1200sqft house in OM with a privacy fenced yard and doggy door. You're pet will have the freedom to go in and out as they please . If I go anywhere between 8 am- 5pm Mon-Fri I have to take my kids with otherwise I'm free. You can also find pictures and videos on my Facebook page Victoria's Bark-tastic Doggy Daycare! I have a roughly 12 year old miniature schnauzer that wasn't the most sociable guy when I met him about 7 years ago. Since then I have been taking him out to new places and to meet other dogs. He has two Great Dane friends he plays with well. Mostly him bouncing off of them and having them chase him. He also likes to lay flat in the grass and wait for them to get close then pounce at them to get them to chase him. He couldn't care less about toys but loves a good quality treat. I can bring him along upon request! My kids absolutely love dogs and are always gentle and respectful. My son loves to throw toys for them and give them treats. He even makes our dog sit before giving him a treat. He also gets to play with the Danes! He loves going around and finding a good stick to give them to chew on. My daughter absolutely loves to give nice pets ( with supervision) and loves to watch them play. I have to bring them with me before 4pm. So if you're looking to provide your dog with some new social situations I'm your gal! I do have to ask that you request care atleast a few days before drop off that way we can do a meet and greet to make sure there will be no issues during your pets stay. I also live down a shared driveway please park somewhere on the street and i will meet you down there. I am up every day between 6-7 am to start the days chores before the sun gets to high. We've got a lawn, two flower beds and a veggies garden to care for. Afterwards I get the kiddos ready for school. Once they've been dropped off my senior dog and I go on our morning nieborhood walk through the park and back. We would love for your pup to join us! As a SAHM i have free time all the way up until 3:30 for school pick up. Each pup is an individual with thier own quirks. Therefore care is modified per each pets needs. For example I would take a 3 year old hound on a much longer sniffy walk than I would a 10 year old lab. Being in Colorado i also account for weather and can modify the days activities if outside is not an option.
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens (collecting eggs as well), donkeys, goats, horses, and llamas of all ages. I have been around dogs of all sizes with some of my own. On weekdays and weekends, I will be available the full day. I would love to help walk, play with, and care for your babies while you’re away for the day. I have a fenced in yard, can easily crate the baby if needed, have two loving dogs to keep your baby company, plenty of toys, and cuddles to go around!
About: I love spending time with dogs and making sure they receive the care they need. I have experience raising two dogs, volunteering at the humane society, and am great with interacting with dogs of all ages and sizes. I would love to do lots of walking / hiking if your pets enjoy that. I am very excited to become a sitter/walker on Rover as this is a great way to spend more time with dogs when their owners are away. I especially love playing with puppies and will make sure any pet is receiving the love they deserve! I am willing to accommodate prices depending on the situation as I am very flexible. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter/walker. I look forward to it!

“Connie was amazing!!! She took both of my dogs in on short notice, kept them for a week, and sent me pictures of different things they were doing twice a day. Connie went above and beyond, I will definitely be back and highly recommend her.”
“Kasse is truly wonderful. My German Shepherd, Jaxxon, loves visiting her home, exploring her fun backyard, and playing with his friends. I have zero worries when he’s with Kasse. Highly recommend!!”
“I can't say enough about the quality care and attention Julia gave our dog, Spencer. Her home, yard, and personal pets are all very welcoming, and we received many updates and photos throughout the stay. My only hesitation in leaving this rave review is that her calendar may fill up and we won't be able to book in the future! :). Thank you for everything!!”
“Sharon was so sweet and patient with Baby. I was nervous being new to Rover but her videos made me feel at ease and he had such a good time. I appreciate her greatly and will be using her again!”
“Amber was absolutely amazing. She took in the boys last minute for the night. She was very communicative, sent photo updates and took care of our boys like her own. She even gave us treats for our cats that she didn’t watch! Highly recommended!”
“Shayna was reliable and very accommodating on short notice. She took great care of my dog, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future. Great experience — thank you!”

“Mindy and her son took care of our senior girl for over a week. Through regular videos/pics we saw that Luna was having an amazing vacation too!! Walks, cuddles, playtime, and all the love any pup could want!! We will request Mindy for all of our boarding needs!! Thank you Mindy!!!!”
“I am so happy I found Suzanne and her husband. I scheduled boarding with them without a meet and greet. Needless to say, my mind was at peace as they were wonderful with Tucker. She provided daily updates and had enough toys to keep him curious. I would highly recommend them and looking forward to booking with them again.”
“My dogs were so happy and well cared for! You can truly tell that she loves what she does. I felt completely at ease knowing my pups were in such good hands. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and updates, which gave me such peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets like their own!”
“Ashley was amazing with our girl. She and her family welcomed Alpine into their home and immediately started playing ball with her. When we left, Alpine didn’t even notice. She was out in their big back yard playing fetch with the kids and having a fabulous time. Ashley and her family took Alpine for a hike at Devil’s Canyon and she also received a walk the following day. You just couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter! We will definitely book with Ashley in the future!”
“Linda took the best care of my elderly Havapoo for a week. I could tell my dog enjoyed herself and bonded with Linda’s family. Linda has a great yard for the dogs to play in. They’re all so happy! I would 100% book with Linda again.”
“Erin did great with Ringo took him on lots of walks and sent lots of videos It was a stormy weekend and Ringo does not like the storms and Erin got him through the storms without any problems”

“Whitney is wonderful! My pup loved playing at her house for the day and she kept updated on the days activities. Easy to schedule with and get ahold of when needed. Will definitely be going back :)”
“Asylan was a lifesaver! My plans for boarding Irvin during a vacation over New Years fell through, and she immediately got back to me. She continued to stay in communication throughout his stay, which made me feel reassured as I was many miles away. She was extremely accommodating and even came to pick Irvin up. I am very pleased with this experience, and will definitely reach out to Asylan again for Irvin's care.”
