About: I have always had a love for animals. I have had dogs always growing up and have taken care of lots of different animals. I have a 3 old aussie who has lots of energy and loves to play! I currently work part time serving in a restaurant, so my schedule is pretty flexible and willing to be moved around for pet care needs! I live right by a very nice trail that allows dogs to be off leash. I have a 3 old aussie at home who loves to play and for long walks and hikes.
“We are so happy to have found Clare for our two dogs. Our frenchie and Belgian Malinois can be a handful but she took great care of them and made them feel loved and cared for. She is punctual, communicates well and responsible. We are grateful to have her for when our pets need a sitter.”
“Thanks for taking great care of our cats while we were away for the week. Thanks for setting up the auto feeders that I forgot to program before we left. We appreciated the daily communication, photos and updates. Thanks so much, Marin!”
About: I grew up with doggos but moved away from home years ago and have yet to get one of my own, so I am always looking to care for and love other peoples’ pups! I volunteered at a local dog rescue in Denver for two years where I interacted with and fostered dogs of all ages and temperaments. I am comfortable walking dogs, assisting with basic training, administering meds, and caring for them as if they are my own. I will take your dogs on adventures and provide them with endless love and pets. I work as a ski patroller so work long days but am off on Tuesdays and Thursdays all day and am off around 5pm every evening. I provide dogs with endless love, treats (if they’re allowed), walks, and play time. I also allow dogs on furniture in my own home, but I know that is not favored by all. I always make sure to listen to the needs of each client.
About: I am self employed and work from home so have plenty of time to give attention to your pup. I have a 13 year old dog named Bruce. He enjoys slower walks and hikes but I’m happy to do longer walks or runs with your younger dog. Bruce gets along with all dogs and I would prefer yours does too! I have plenty of time throughout the day to walk, play, etc with your dog. Just let me know what their activity level is, off leash guidelines, and any other quirks. My yard is on the Gore creek, not fenced in. My dog and other visiting dogs always play down by the creek. If your dog is not good off leash or you don’t want them near the creek, I will keep them on leash at all times.
About: Hello, my name is Brooke. I am an avid animal lover and pet owner, and I have always had a special bond with animals. I have grown up with animals my whole life from dogs and cats to cows and pigs, even rodents. I currently live with one loving cuddly 9 year old, female cocker spaniel pup. I have had the experience of caring for animals on my own on multiple occasions. I have practice with dog sitting/boarding for friends and family, but I am looking to expand my clientele. I am excited to care for your furry family members. I am a fun, caring, trustworthy, and reliable person. I look forward to pampering and caring for your fur babies. I am currently available anytime, and can’t wait to hear from you!
“Alex was awesome and helped me get the pups out at my work while I had a day in the field. One of my pups needs medication, and he had no problem helping with that as well! Super appreciated his kindness!”
About: I have been house sitting on and off for many years and love to be around animals. My neighbors and family friends have tasked me with taking care of their houses, animals, plants, many other things! I’m currently working full time in Vail, so I will be able to care for your pet anytime outside of these hours. My work hours are typically 8am-5pm Monday-Friday! When I am taking care of any animal I will treat them just like family! Lots of walks and attention! I can give your dogs lots of exercise!
“Madison was great at communicating and sends nice pictures/videos during her drop in visits. She came within the requested timeframe and my pup was well cared for. I will continue to use her drop in services!”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals combined with hands-on volunteer work in animal welfare. I've had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have cared for pets through every stage of life, including senior animals. As a volunteer with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington, I worked directly with shelter cats by cleaning kennels, providing food and fresh water, and monitoring their living spaces while being mindful not to cause unnecessary stress. This experience taught me how to respect each animal's comfort level, recognize different personalities, and provide calm, attentive care. I also volunteered with Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation, where I helped socialize animals and connect potential adopters with dogs that matched their lifestyle. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, or needs extra patience, I will provide reliable, compassionate care and follow their routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Pet care has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. This summer, I am completing an internship with varying hours throughout the week, but I am fully available on Mondays and Tuesdays, which are my weekends. On most other days, I am available before work and in the evenings for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. Having cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and helping them feel comfortable when their owner is away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm happy to adapt to your pet's individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions before providing care. Whether I'm visiting your home, taking your dog for a walk, or staying overnight, I'll ensure your pet receives attentive, reliable care. Through my volunteer experience caring for shelter cats, I've learned the importance of being patient, observant, and respectful of each animal's comfort level. I'll follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own.
About: I’m a very friendly and outgoing person towards humans and animals! I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats in my household and really enjoy their company. In September 2020, I adopted a 2 month old Labrador/ Great Pyrenees / Shepard mix named Arlo from the Boulder humane society and have had an amazing time raising him! I have experience with small to large dogs, as well as dogs of all ages. I love staying active and being outdoors. Being able to take dogs on walks and spending time with them is a great way to stay active throughout the day. I am glad to be able to spend my extra time taking care of your dog and providing you with the best service that I can to keep you and your dog happy! I will have plenty of time to play with your pups during the week or weekend! We can go on walks, hikes, to the dog park or play in the backyard. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with an open living room, kitchen, balcony and mud room area. I also have a shared back yard, am less than a 2 minute walk from gore creek trail, and only a 5 minute drive away from the west vail dog park. I also have my own dog that would love a play buddy! If at your home, please let me know your preferred areas of play and down time. I can also take your dog to their favorite spots in the area!
About: I enjoy hiking and walking in the outdoors, especially with pets! I am comfortable playing with any dog and giving them lots of love and affection. I am flexible with timings in the early morning and later afternoons. Most weekends I am free and I can block out weekends if given notice. I want to ensure that your pet is comfortable and happy. I stick closely to routines your pet may have and get to know the pet's personality to care for them in the best way!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Vail on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 394 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Vail. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
