“We are so thankful for Tara and her wonderful care of our sweet boy. She was perfect...reliable, always on time, fed, medicated and loved our dog while I was out of town. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! We will absolutely use her in the future. Highly recommend!!!”
“Ursula was amazing! My kitty cat warmed up to her quite quickly, which is shocking and made us feel like we made the right choice! Ursula was sweet and easy to talk to. She also takes the best pet photos for her check-ins. Will certainly rebook her for future services!”
“Heidi was super responsive, communicative, and helpful when I had to dash out of town unexpectedly. She took great care of my floof and her attention to detail and conscientiousness was evident every step of the way. She's definitely a reliable sitter for your fluffy friend!”
“Reagan is amazing and our kitties loved her! We had to make a couple date changes before Reagan’s visits but she was so accommodating and easy to get in touch with. I would highly recommend her for any pet sitting needs.”
About: Just 15 minutes from Denver International Airport! Countless dogs have been in my life since I was 3 years old! From my own Yorkie pups, to my neighbor’s Labrador’s, I’ve gained experience with loving, training, and supporting animals through every paw-step of their life. I have experience with newborn puppies (from their mother giving birth to 8 weeks old and longer!) to the delicate sunset years of seniors. From feeding, to walking, to grooming, I can tell you that every dog is different, with various needs and wants, just like humans! Once I learn what your furbaby needs, I won’t rest until they have it. Some pets have allergies, some pets have enormous amounts of energy, but all pets need love! From the moment I wake up, pets are a part of my life! I have a remote job that allows me to spend all day with your furry friends and adhere to whatever they need. Im only one bark away when your pup is around! Trust is the first step to any animal relationship. With my 20 years of experience, I have developed a keen eye for dog body language. Adapting to their mood and knowing how to keep them safe in correlation to how they feel is my number one priority. On walks, I will be sure to check how your pup feels every step. I will approach, avoid, or distract them when the situation calls for it. During house sitting and drop-ins, I will learn your rules for the house and apply them with as much love as you do! From going outside to lounging indoors, your pet will have just as much safety and support as when you’re home! I have crate trained dogs, walked dogs leashed and non-leashed, and dealt with multiple temperaments. Whatever your dog is used to, I can easily adapt to them.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my babies! They clearly felt comfortable with you (as much as cats do with anyone). It’s awesome knowing I can leave confident that my babies are in good hands with you.”
About: I am new to the world of pet sitting but I have lived with and taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family pets my whole life! I am excited to be on this journey and looking forward to all the wonderful experiences with your pets! I am currently in between jobs so my time is extremely flexible. I own my own business, but can work your pet easily into my weekly routine! We have no pets of our own at the moment so your fur baby would be the center of my attention! We have no yard, so tons of walkies would be in store! We do have the space to crate your pet if needed, though sharing the couch and bed are fair game as well.
“Stephany does so well with our little traumatized beagle and our other two dogs. She has been so patient and follows the beagle’s lead and has had such a huge success with her so far. We are so thankful!!”
About: My sweet and naughty Boston is an old lady so I’m comfortable with senior pups. She has also had a medical struggle or two, so I’m comfortable with a little extra TLC if needed too. I work a hybrid schedule and can adjust my time in the office as needed! This means the fur kids will never be left alone very long. Walks can be whatever your babies are used to. Long, short, or just out for sniffs. Your babies will be more comfortable in their own home surrounded by your smell. If you are comfortable, my old girl likes new places as long as mom is with her. She gets along well with most dogs, and typically ignores cats. Your fur kids will get all the love and attention you would give them, and I promise we’ll talk about how much they miss you the whole time! We’ll even send photos and updates!
“Nadia is so accommodating and sweet! Helped me with a last minute drop in, took great care of my puppers, sent pictures, and was very communicative. Thankful to have found her on Rover!”
“So glad we found Gisselle. From the moment my dogs met her, they warmed up immediately — which says a lot. She was incredibly responsive to all of our communication and kept us updated the whole time. I've already planned to rebook with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
“Branden is easy to work with. Communication was great, he always showed up on time. He sent us a report (and several cute pictures) after each visit. Alfredo was in good hands with Branden!!”
About: Growing up, my parents fostered dogs which allowed me to be introduced to almost every type of dog. They all have different needs and especially different personalities. Currently, I am in my 2nd year of College and am hoping to achieve a BSN by 2027 that way I can help my human friends as well! Thank you for entrusting me with your furry family and hope to meet soon! As stated, I am a full time student which allows for ample time to spend with your pets! Currently, I attend Galen College of Nursing online as a full time student which basically means that I have all the time in the world to spend with your pet that way they feel safe and loved while you are away! I have one dog with special needs and one cat. This has given me the opportunity to learn what normal behavior looks like and how to be attentive to needs they may have. While entrusting your home to a stranger must be nerve wracking, I can assure you that I will care for your pet and home with the utmost amount of respect that it deserves!
“I could not have a puppy without Morgan’s on going, dependably thoughtful and reliable visits. I feel 100% relaxed being away when Morgan makes a visit to see Darla, and Darla gets much more excited seeing Morgan come in than ME!”
About: I have a small friendly dog of my own and grew up in a pet friendly home with a mother who worked at the zoo so I have a lot of experience with many different types of dogs I’m available all day til 630pm I work nights I’m available all day Wednesday and Thursday also but feel free to reach out and we can work something out I’m very kind to people and animals all in the same I believe they deserve to be treated right and with integrity and kindness like everyone
About: USAF veteran starting Masters program at DU. Absolutely love dogs of all shapes and sizes and have no issues with taking care of any of them. I do work and intern at a few places so my schedule isn’t always the same, however if you’re willing to work with me, I’m more than willing to try and accommodate any request you may have. I’ll be residing around CU-Anschutz and really anything within twenty minutes of there would be ideal. Just looking for a source of extra income during my schooling, so since I love dogs I figured this would be the best bet for me to get some extra cash. Thank you and please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have.
“Christine was wonderful! I could tell she really took good care of my cat, Ghost. I actually think he was a little disappointed when I returned. I will definitely have her again.”
“Cassidy was an amazing sitter for our cats, one of which is 20 years old and the other is special needs. She provided detailed reports and wonderful pictures that convinced us immediately that was the perfect person to care for and protect our babies. We will ask for her each time we need to leave town. Thank you Cassidy.”
About: I’ve been house-sitting and caring for dogs for over a decade. Most recently, I helped care for a sweet 13-year-old Aussie mix named Rosie. She still loves her backyard zoomies and long walks but sometimes needs extra comfort at night when her parents are away. I was happy to be there to help her feel safe and relaxed. In my own life, I have a 4-year-old Heeler/Terrier mix named Sweet Dee, who’s my partner in crime and a constant source of laughs (and lessons). Sweet Dee does not accompany me to pet-sitting unless it’s specifically approved by the pet parents—your pets come first. For transparency, I work full-time remotely for the State of Colorado. About 90% of the time, I’m working from home, but there are occasional days when I get called into the office for a standard workday (up to 8 hours). If that ever overlaps with a booking, I make sure pets are comfortable with that routine and discuss options like longer morning walks, check-ins from a backup sitter if needed, or anything else to ensure they’re happy and cared for. I treat every home and every pet as if they were my own. I work remotely Monday through Friday, so I have great flexibility for pet care. With at least 3 days’ notice—sooner is always better—I can usually make it work. I also have reliable transportation to get to you. I have a fenced-in backyard that my dog plays in and goes potty. I am the one usually on "clean up" duty which doesn't bother me.
“Highly recommend! She pays extra attention to the doggos, learning their personalities. Very reliable. Did everything we asked and more. Will definitely use her again 🐾”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Watkins is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $28 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 11,924 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Watkins. 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 Watkins. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
