About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and grew up living on a ranch, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’m dependable, responsible, and truly love helping others by making sure their pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re away. I’m also very responsive and will keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind! I am available before and after work and on weekends as well! I’ve done countless drop-ins as well as extended stays with all kinds of pets. I’m very flexible and happy to work around each pet’s routine, whether they need a quick check-in, a walk, playtime, or lots of extra love and attention. I’m also reliable and great at communicating with owners throughout the stay! I care for every pet as if they were my own! I always follow their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of my client’s home and make sure to leave everything clean and just as I found it. I also love sending regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around dogs for years and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can actually trust with your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, keeping up with routines, and giving dogs attention without overwhelming them. I’m pretty detail-oriented, so if your dog has a specific schedule, quirks, commands, favorite toys, or things they shouldn’t get into, I’ll follow what you normally do rather than changing their routine. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away. I work a regular weekday schedule, but I’m available before and after work, and I have more flexibility on weekends. I’m good about sticking to feeding, walking, medication, and bathroom schedules, so if your dog has a routine, I’ll follow it as closely as possible. I pay close attention to instructions, routines, and anything I should watch for with your dog. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, food, and medications are handled carefully, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away. I want your dog to feel comfortable without changing what they’re already used to.
“Alora did a great job checking in on our dog while we were out of town. She made sure her food and water were filled every day and spent time socializing with her. Will definitely book with her again in the future.”
“Loved having Taylor as our Maizey sitter. She was respectful and kind and showed up as promised. We would recommend Taylor to anyone needing to have their crazy dog like ours watched.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I've housesat, walked dogs, checked in on cats, and cared for almost any animal you could imagine. Animals are my passion, and I would love to help care for your special family member! 🐶🐱 I currently work from home so I would be available to stay at your home especially during the day! My schedule is very flexible at the moment so I can accommodate to your hours and your pets needs I can provide check-ins or walks for your dog as well as feeding or just hanging out with your pet and keeping them company with some playtime. I can also provide lots of cuddles at night to any furry friend.
About: In my house hold we have owned many pets of all shapes and sizes. I have always been surrounded with pets and love each and everyone. Every animal has a different personality and I always love to get to know each one and what they like and dislike. Right now in my house we have three dogs two cats and a tortoise. I have a job working in the morning for 4-5 hours then a 2-3 hour break then more work for 4 hours then I am off during the week and on the weekend I free so I have plenty of time to let dogs out on my break and be with them for a little before going back to work. I have been babysitting for many years but really wanted to start pet sitting as I love animals and love getting to know different breeds as they all have such interesting personality’s (I’ve always wanted to meet a cat that loves water)
About: Hello, my name is Adriana. I've had dogs for a little over 10 years, along with 2 cats, and a few birds. Not all at the same time. If there is any more information about your pet that you believe I need to know I would love to be informed. If you need me to stay a little longer than planned, please let me know as soon as possible. If you would like to ask any questions please ask me through a message on here. Thank you for taking the time to check my profile. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have a cat. So pet care is routine in my everyday life. Plus my family has pets I help take care of when I go visit. I care for pets in client's homes by following their care plan that has been provided by said client. Any additional information/ instructions will be followed to the best of my availability.
About: Hi! We’re a pet-loving couple with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. We’ve raised a Doberman, look after two lively beagles, and have cared for outdoor cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. Together we give pets double the attention, love, and care so they feel happy and safe while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of our daily and weekly routine. We schedule feeding, walks, playtime, and clean-ups around our work so pets always get consistent attention. Caring for animals is something we both truly enjoy, so we make time every day to give them love, exercise, and a safe, clean environment. In a client’s home, we respect your routines and instructions, caring for your pet the same way you would. That includes feeding, refreshing water, walks or litter box care, playtime, and giving medications if needed. Our goal is to keep your pet happy, healthy, and comfortable in their familiar surroundings.
“Annette was sweet and took good care of my two kitties. She sent several pictures so I could see that the cats were doing fine. The house appeared to be in perfect shape when I arrived home.”
“Ash was amazing with our two cats! She was very communicative, sent great pictures, and spent the time to get to know the two during our meet and greet especially their slightly complicated feeding routine. Both our cats were super relaxed and seemed to barely notice we were gone when we came back!”
“Neva did a great jo by taking care of my dogs over the holiday! She was punctual and even made time to meet up with me a week before to see the dogs and their routine beforehand. I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I grew up with dogs and had cats as pets as an adult. I love both dogs and cats (and all animals) but have the most experience with these two. I can do dog walks, grooming for both dogs and cats, drop ins for feeding, bathroom and any other needs, overnight stays and longer term stays if needed! Please note: I'm happy to travel for meet & greets and bookings, but for locations more than 15 miles from me will include a travel fee due to distance and fuel costs. Please message prior to booking if you are outside this range. Thanks for understanding - it helps me keep providing reliable care for clients. Same-day requests may also incur an additional fee depending on availability. *Lastly* if you see any dates on my calendar that looked blocked off (especially if they're highlighted in yellow) you can still reach out to see if you're close enough for me to do drop in visits! Dates highlighted in yellow just mean I have another booking but I'm still able to fit in drop in visits! 😊 I work remotely so I'm more flexible, esp if I'm doing any daytime or overnight stays. I work 7 am-4 pm M-F and can easily step away from my job as needed. I'm gentle, safe, reliable, intuitive and quick to pick up on how animals are feeling. I also take into consideration any special needs animals may have.
“Colby was super kind & responsive, giving our cat all the love and cuddles she needed while we were gone. We really appreciated the detailed updates and pictures. Will definitely book again!”
“Selina was very reliable and communicative! My dogs seemed to love her! When you’re away from home you worry about your pets but she sent pics that put my mind at ease! Will definitely request her again! Thank you Selina for your great care of my pups!”
About: I have experience with taking care of cats and dogs in my own home. I currently have 3 kitties in my house. My oldest kitty is 18 years old. I have experience taking care of other people's homes and animals when they take vacations and travel. They are always in good hands when they are left with me! I'm currently a SAHM and have lots of extra time to help you with taking care of your furry friends! I take care of my 3 kitties at home every day with lots of play time and snuggles. I treat your pet like I would treat my own! Lots of love, affection and playfulness! I love spoiling your pets like I spoil my own at home by giving them extra attention.
About: Growing up I had a high energy Saint Bernard and I also work with horses! These have taught me how to be assertive but also gentle with all animals! I am a senior in college, and my classes are only Tuesday/Thursdays. The other 5 days a week I love to spend making new animal friends! When dropping in to hang out with your pet their water will always be refilled, food/treats/meds given on time, and will make sure that they get all the rubs and scratches. My first priority is their comfort!

If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about dogs and goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend Brianna. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such great hands. The communication was excellent, and every interaction was kind, professional, and thoughtful. We couldn’t be happier and will definitely be returning. Thank you for treating our dogs like family!
Jennifer does a wonderful job! Our dog had gotten a limp the night before and we had to leave early the next day but I felt very comfortable that Jen would keep us posted on things and she did. We really appreciate her care for Charlie. Will always recommend her. 😊

Before booking, confirm:

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

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 Vail 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.

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 .
