“Annette was wonderful while taking care of my 3 cats! Everytime she stopped by she played with them and cleaned up after them. I had one cat who kept spilling thir water bowl and she cleaned it up everytime even went above and beyond to wash the towels as well. I appreciate everything she did and will definitely request her again in the future! Thank you Annette!!”
“Lauren did a very nice job checking in on our two senior cats during our international vacation. She followed guidance very thoughtfully, sent sweet pictures of the cats, and was respectful of our home space. She was willing and able to pivot when our travel schedule changed a bit and we were so grateful for her genuine care for our cats in our absence.”
“Amazingly, Alora was able to take pix of my 2 scared cats, and she even got one of them up on the bed. (We've just moved here, and my cats haven't yet adjusted.) Alora was polite, on time, easy to work with, and reliable. Much appreciated!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of many different types of animals, as well as had plenty of my own— I work remotely and have pretty much infinite time to spend with your furry (scaly, feathery) friends! I’ve lived in friends’ houses for over two weeks to look after their animals; I’m generally pretty quiet and allow the pets come to me, but I’m happy to do tricks with them or take them out for runs and adventures when requested! I love taking lots of pictures of your pets to send you, and keeping you up to date on their health and adventures! Have also provided care for senior animals multiple times, and dealt with health crises while the owner was absent. Happy to do dogs or cats, but can also handle rodents, reptiles, etc. Have previously had: rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles/tortoises, dogs, cats, and fish. As long as you are willing to demonstrate the care of the animal, I am willing to take on pretty much anything, though! I love hanging out with animals while I’m working— they’re such good office-mates! Of course I have to leave occasionally during overnight stays, but your pets are my priority, always! Whatever attention they need, I will give them, and I will always keep my eyes and ears open for any mischief happening! I like to go through your routine with you and then try to keep everything as close to normal for your pets as possible! They’ll already be missing you— they don’t need any more stress! Food and water bowls refilled on time, walks given regularly, and as many pets, kisses, and photoshoots as required!
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.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. You name the animal, I’ve lived with it and cared for it! From horses, to chickens, to birds, to cats, to dogs, I’ve done it all! Along with this, I have experience with animals small and large, so the size of your baby means absolutely nothing negative to me! I know it can be hard to find a sitter for a breed that may be a little more intimidating to some, but I believe that every animal deserves the same love. I have experience giving dogs pills, and I know how particular they can be about taking them. That’s nothing to worry about with me, I always make sure to find something specific to that dog that will get them to take their medicine! I also know how hard it can be to find a sitter for a rescue, especially one who is still timid. I’ve grown up with rescues, and know the level of patience and love they need to be shown. I am also able to provide support to senior dogs or dogs who need a little more help getting around, I’m able to make them comfortable and happy! I also have experience training puppies to do basic tricks, such as sit, speak, shake, and lay down. I would absolutely love to provide your baby with the care they deserve! I currently pet and house sit as my income. This means that my top priority is ensuring that your baby is taken care of at all times. I have an extremely open and flexible schedule, and am able to do check ins at almost whatever time you prefer. I know that when I’m entering your home, I’m also entering your pets home. It can be scary for them to have a stranger come to their safe space, but I provide patience and an upbeat personality to make them feel comfortable. I’m cautious, but also loving and wanting to do everything I can to make your pet happy! I respect both your space and your pets.
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: 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!
About: I’m a teacher and behavior specialist, so I naturally understand how dogs learn and communicate. My goal is to make you feel completely safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m kind, attentive, and provide consistent care and updates so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for.🥰 I am available for boarding throughout the week and weekends. I work part time (summers off as a teacher too) so will have plenty of time to check on your pup and play with them! I'll make sure you feel confident that your dog is attended to at all times. I have a fenced yard as well as a friendly and fun Aussiedoodle who loves making new friends and playing. I will let you lead on what is best for your best friend (crate, safe place, toys, etc.,).
“Kat was amazing. She came through for us in a time crunch and was very flexible with our schedule. Blue took to her very quickly. We will absolutely use her again for our future trips. Thank you Kat for everything. We truly appreciate you.”
“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: Hi! I have experience caring for dogs of many breeds and ages, from a few weeks old to 15 years old. Very trustworthy, communicative, and flexible scheduling! I currently have a part-time job and am usually scheduled Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:30–2:30. Outside of those hours, I’m fully available and happy to adjust my schedule to accommodate your needs. I myself have two dogs of my own, one is a Pitbull and the other is a Rottweiler! I absolutely adore them and give them a lot of attention. I have a routine where I will feed them, give them treats throughout the day, walk them daily and bathe them regularly. I am willing to do the same and learn about anything extra your dogs may need! I will make sure they are safe and loved while being under my care, as they will be my main priority!
About: I worked as Veterinary Technician for 3 years and have been a huge animal lover my entire life. I will treat your babies like my own and that's a promise! I have a full time job so weekends would work best for me. Until summer around May 25th then I will have full time availability. I am very respectful of my surroundings and believe in leaving a place cleaner than when you found it. I will treat your home like my own.
About: I’ve lived with large and small dogs and cats my whole life. Even as a teenager I took care of our house cat for years and she lived in my room. My parents own one little one now (the one listed on my profile) who I don’t live with but still consider them to be my own dogs because I love them so much! I am currently working free-lancing gigs remotely while I study for my PMP exam so my schedule is flexible when I am in Ardmore. I do have a very active lifestyle so I love taking dogs on walks and hikes in my free time! I will keep them on a consistent feeding schedule. I’ll take them on multiple walks a day. I’ll can hang with them while I’m working on my online classes or just watching TV!
“Jessica is amazing! Both my dogs (and me) felt comfortable right away with her which is rare. She is great with them, kind, attentive, and trust worthy. It is easy to schedule and communicate with her. I will be booking again with her in a few weeks!”

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. 😊

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 Vail 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.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Vail with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
