“My Frenchie rescue needed some attention and love while I’m at work and she’s settling in her new home. Liz has been absolutely amazing with her. Kiwi is getting healthier and healthier and without Liz’s drop ins when I’m working late I don’t think she would’ve made the progress she has. She’s patient and extremely kind”

We have been a pet owners our whole lives and would love the opportunity to help serve our community by helping you and your fur babies. Because we've been pet owners all our lives, we understand the respect, care, and attention each fur baby requires and deserves. Our dogs are like our children and we are ready to treat your fur baby like part of the family! We are currently available 7 days a week. We would love to drop in on your pet at your home or take them for a nice walk! All we need to know before hand is what you would like done during your drop ins. Our dogs Ellie and Koda love to meet new friends so we are happy to bring them along on walks and drop ins if you'd like your pet to have some extra socialization during the visits. Kristin is currently a stay-at-home mom, so her availability is pretty flexible to meet your needs. Bryce currently works full-time but loves to fill his free time with his family and dogs. Together, our availability typically fits into whatever needs you have. We understand the importance of making your pets feel safe and comfortable in the home. Because of this, we do require that we schedule a meet and greet at least 24 hours in advance to your booking so that your fur baby knows us and we know them. We want to make sure that we are not seen as strangers and that your fur baby isn't going to feel scared or in danger in any way. We want to make sure they are treated like family when they are with us!

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats, of all ages, pretty much my entire life. I have experience with grooming such as nail trimming and bathing. I am currently a student but my schedule is pretty open during the week and weekend. I am also available on holidays. The only day that I am not fully available is Sunday from 6pm-9pm due to a weekly engagement. As a dog walker, I will take your dogs on walks, take them to the park, or whatever you need me to. If I am dropping by to check on your pets, I will check on all the necessities and make sure to locate all pets (and send pictures).
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.

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: I grew up with dogs and have pet sat for family and friends over the years. I even pet sat 2 birds when I was 11, learning that I am not a bird person 😅 but I love the pups. I have a year of professional dog walking experience and am excited to be able to add pet sitting. I have helped train the family pets my whole life mostly the basics: perimeter training, no jumping, stay, sit, etc. I will implement any training techniques and goals you have been working on with your pup to be sure they keep growing. If your pup is in their final years I would love to help you make them the best. I was able to see my beloved Rocky and Zuri through all their days. Zuri's hips where too weak in the end. A almost hundred pound rhodesian ridgeback, I would carry her when needed often having her lay on blankets and pulling her around the house then lifting her out side. She was such a sweet girl her and Rocky both lived for about 14 years. I am available any day after 2pm. I work mornings so am not always availble in the mornings. During the summer this does lead to later walk times since the heat is so much. If sitting it would also mean really early walks on my work days. When am taking care of another's beloved pup I do my best to maintain their routine and any precaution their parents take. I.e. keep on the leash, watch that they don't eat stuff, crating when home alone, etc.

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.
“It's always a joy to have Lily walk the dogs. We were watching our daughters dog who was a little unfriendedly the first time meeting her (which was normal for this dog). Lily knows and understands dogs and was able to have the dog get comfortable with her. Both dogs came back tired and exhausted but very happy from their morrning walk. Highly recommend her!”

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 Vail. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Vail after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

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 Meet & Greet .
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
