About: I grew up on and still manage a family farm, caring for all animals, including many dogs in all their ages and stages of life. I have trained puppies, introduced new dogs to each other, and care for friend's dogs. Being sensitive to your dog's needs are priority. I am a stay at home mom and run a homestead with young kids who love animals. I value outside play time, adventures and am available every day for pet care. I have a large back yard that is fenced in with a secure gate. The yard is dirt and turf with plants dispersed around. The full-length back patio is always shady and dog pools are always full of water. There is also a separate garden area that also doubles as a smaller yard. Desert landscape backs the property beyond the fences. My 11yo female golden retriever is very laid back with company and is a good companion. Dogs will be fed separately always. We often go on walks, to the wash or other desert trails in my area. We love outside time! When your dog comes to my home for the first time, I like to introduce them to things one at a time. First, the back yard (just the dog, their owner and me). Then after they've sniffed around to their liking I bring out my dog for them to meet. Next your dog and mine (and their humans) can go inside my home to become familiar with the indoor surroundings. If you and you pup are satisfied with it all then we are set to book a fun stay for your pet!
“Maisie is so great, I really appreciate how communicative she is and her patience with Porcini. She takes the cutest daily pictures and is in touch for every drop in, even if there’s nothing unusual. Hoping to continue to book her for future trips!”
About: I have taken care of family dogs since I was a teen, both senior and puppies. I understand the worry and trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I am comfortable with high energy dogs, all the way to senior dogs that need extra attention or care. I am also comfortable to give medication to dogs if needed. As a realtor, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make extra time for walks, playtime, and caring for your furry family members. I understand that busy or restrictive work schedules can make it challenging to give pets all the attention and exercise they need throughout the day. I’d love to help by providing dependable, loving care so your pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re busy. As a dog mom to a one-year-old Mini Bernedoodle, I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet. My goal is to give both you and your pet peace of mind! 🐾❤️ My home has a walled backyard with dog-friendly turf, giving pups a secure space to run, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I keep both my indoor and outdoor spaces clean, clutter-free, and welcoming to help create a safe and comfortable environment for every pet in my care. Hygiene and sanitation are especially important to me, and I take pride in maintaining a clean space where pets can feel right at home.
“Nia was great with my dog Blue when me and husband were out of town for three days. She was very friendly, communicative and punctual. She left me with a note of what she did with my dog on each visit and kept the guidelines/instructions. We will definitely have her again for our dog sitter! She is great! 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs/cats since I was in high school. I have raised several puppies in the past and am currently raising 2 puppies. I work full time during the week, so I am available for evenings after 5:30pm, overnight, and weekends! If I have enough notice, I can be flexible if needed. I have my own vehicle, can pass a background check, and have previous references if needed. I have experience with currently raising 3 dogs, with one being an older shelter rescue.
About: Hi! My name is Bailey and I am a dedicated nursing student with a passion for caring—for both people and pets! With my background in healthcare, I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and compassion, which I bring to every pet I care for. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll treat your furry friend like family. Let’s make sure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away! Having an elderly French Bulldog who recently passed has given me firsthand experience with the unique needs of senior pets. I understand the importance of patience, gentle care, and extra attention to ensure their comfort and happiness. I'm well-equipped to cater to the needs of senior dogs and provide them with the love and care they deserve. Missing my furry friend makes me even more eager to shower your pets with the love and affection they crave. I understand the significance of companionship and am dedicated to providing the emotional support and playtime your pet needs to feel secure and content. Ultimately, what truly sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals, combined with my medical knowledge and commitment to ensuring the best possible care for your furry family member. Your pet's happiness and comfort are my top priorities, and I look forward to the opportunity to provide them with exceptional care and affection. I am currently working part time while waiting for nursing school to start in the fall. I am happy to spend my extra free time taking care of little furry ones! When your pet stays with me, they become part of my family. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can thrive. This includes cozy bedding, ample playtime, regular feeding schedules, and, most importantly, plenty of affection. I also take them for walks and outdoor adventures, ensuring they get the exercise they need to stay happy and healthy. I live very close to the dog park, so if you would like to have your animal socialize with other pets, I am happy to take them to the park.
“Nikki (Ulema) was wonderful with our senior citizen cats. She made sure they go skritches and attention every day. Photos of everyone were provided every day, which was really nice. She even went the extra mile to make friends with Puck, who tends to be aloof and/or skittish around new people. I would highly recommend her. She did an excellent job, and I would use her services again in a heartbeat.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was little and have experience with dogs, cats, and birds. Over the years, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to look after their pets, and I take pride in providing attentive and loving care. I enjoy making sure every animal feels safe, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away. I’m in school and get out around noon, and I work part-time on weekends. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and care—they’ll be happy, safe, and well-looked after while you’re away. Safety and trust come first. I’m clean, organized, and respectful of your home—you’ll come back to it just as you left it. Your dogs will get plenty of exercise on walks and lots of attention and affection while staying comfortable and happy at home.
About: I have always had pets in the home which include: dogs, cats, birds, fish and horses. I have taken care of neonate puppies and kittens as well as senior animals. I have experience taking care of animals with injuries, disabilities and medications needs. I have a very calm demeanor which often allows animals to feel comfortable around me. I work from home Monday and Friday which would allow me to be home Friday through Monday with pets. I work in the office Tuesday through Thursday from 7:30 to 4:30 I have a fenced yard that allows dogs a space to run around and go potty. I also have a large house with both tile and carpet. I allow pets on furniture and also provide beds on the floor for animals that are not allowed or unable to get on the couch/bed.
About: Leaving your babies is stressful. I understand what it is like to be away from your animals. I want them to safe and feel loved. I am retired and can give them as much love and attention as needed. Both you and your pets will feel some separation anxiety but I can keep that to a minimum for all. I have the ability to keep their schedule/routine to whatever is typical - When I had pets it was very hard to leave them, so I understand what you’re dealing with emotionally as is your pet!! I’m retired from my career with the YMCA- but a young 62. So you know I’m fun 😀 and community minded. I truly enjoy walking dogs, taking them to a park if that’s their interest (on a leash). When I’m watching pets they are my #1 focus and priority. Their needs come first. I do not take a job if I can’t commit to being available the majority of the day. A meet and greet is important so we both know it’s a good fit for your animals. I do not have other animals at my house and I have a fenced yard. This is the desert, so I always do a yard check to make sure it’s “all clear” when letting a dog out. Cats would remain inside for their safety. We have a detailed conversation regarding medications, dog or people aggression, schedules so both parties are prepared.

Walks to the dog park, extended vacations or just a midday check. Im happy to make sure your fur baby is safe and sound. I have full availability for the present time. I love all animals and to be able to make them my ful time job would be a dream. I always speak with a gentle voice and avoid heads for the first visit until the dog offers to be pet. Ive got along with most every dog I've ever been in contact with.
About: I am a dog lover. I have a pool that is available if your dog likes to swim. I live on 5 acres near the east end of Broadway. Your dog will be part of our family....sleep in our bedroom, go for walks, have playtimes and hang out in the family room. I bred Labs and Cairn Terriers for 12 yrs. We raised our pups indoors so they were happy and socialized. I have also volunteered for several years at Handi-Dogs helping special needs owners train their dogs. You are more than welcome to contact me with any questions. I suggest a ‘meet n greet’. My dog has never met a dog she didn’t like so please come and meet us. I look forward to meeting you. Thank you Most days I am home all the time. I occasionally run to the market or an appointment and if that happens I’m only gone for an hour or an hour and a half. During that time I make sure that all the dogs are separate I spend lots of group time and individual time with your dog. If your dog gets along well with others we play lots of games outside

“We absolutely love Thomas!! Jingle learned so much when he is with her. Thomas is very patient and explains everything he is doing while he is working with jingle. I would highly recommend him if you have any concerns over training your new puppy or even a dog that's a little bit older”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vail
This is the second time that we’ve booked with Brenda and we are still just as thankful for her!! We appreciate the time and love she puts in for our pups and all the updates and pictures she gives in the Rover Cards. We know our fur babies are happy to have her when we are away. We will absolutely be booking Brenda again in the future 🥰
Elizabeth did an amazing job with our cat and was so thorough with her communication and care! It made us feel so much more comfortable being away. Our cat who is normally very skiddish warmed up to her very quickly. We will definitely be booking with her again!
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. 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Vail is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 1,264 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vail. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vail. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
