“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cats! She was communicative throughout the stay, followed all of my care instructions, and I felt confident that my cats were well taken care of while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”
About: I’m a detail oriented, caretaker who treats pets like family, not just a checklist. Someone with great communication skills, a calm confident demeanor and a desire to create a bond with my clients and their pets. Lover of animals all shapes and sizes🫶 I’ve dealt with reptiles, hamsters, crabs, fish, dogs and cats my entire existence. I am currently in a hybrid travel role where 2/3 weeks of the month I’m fully remote. I am 100% available during those remote weeks. I’m an early riser and free most evenings:) I treat all pets and animals like they’re my family, think playful and nurturing! Not afraid to get dirty, build up a sweat, or do whatever it takes to make sure our furry friends (or not so furry) feel loved, and nurtured 🫶
“Adisa was able to help me last minute and she was so very helpful. my pups were comfortable with her from the beginning. she has a very calm energy to her. thanks again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since a young age and have had dogs basically my entire life. I am reliable, caring, attentive, and trustworthy. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I have also have a sweet golden retriever, Topo who gets along great with other dogs! I work from home full time so can be very attentive to your dogs needs and routine. If I am out my partner also works from home so your pet will always have care! I have a two bedroom apartment with a dog run on the property and live in a great neighborhood for walks! I have easy access to parks around the neighborhood as well.
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was a child, and love all animals. I work from home, which gives me plenty of time to give my attention to your furry family member. I work from home and have a lot of flexibility to set my own schedule to accommodate taking care of pets. I am also able to leave the house to provide care in your home or to provide walks throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard and a super friendly goldendoodle to keep your furry friends company. I'm also able to create separate spaces within my home for maximum comfort as needed. I am also able to come to your home or travel to your neighborhood to provide walks. My dog is a part of my family and I would treat your pet the same.
“Kristin did a great job of looking after our dog Petey for a couple days via drop-in visits when our other rover who stays at the house needed to leave for a wedding. Kristin was communicative, on time and we were reassured that Petey was safe and taken care of.”
“Victoria was attentive and wonderful! She offered to water our plants on top of checking on our cat for a few days. He was very well taken care of and loved her company 😊”
“Sara was great! She was very reliable and responded to all of our questions quickly. It was our first time using a pet sitting service but it was clear we left our 3 cats in great hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for, feeding, walking, and boarding my friends’ dogs for years and only recently decided to offer boarding part-time in my home. I have sat for dogs who have specialized diets as well as those who have prescriptions. I’ve sat for young and old dogs, high-energy and low-energy. As an elementary school teacher, I’m very patient, nurturing, and pay close attention to needs. I have two cozy spare bedrooms that I’ve turned into “doggie hotels”. Rest assured, your dog will have their own personal space as well as socializing opportunities. My dog, a friendly Labrador, does a great job balancing friendliness, care, and giving dogs their space. She is a great host. If you would like your dog to have a safe and caring home to stay at, I can guarantee a wonderful, fun and enriching experience for them. I’m eager to learn your routines, commands, training, and expectations so I can provide your dog comfort in predictability while you are away. I will care for them as if they’re my own, sending you their mental and physical updates, as well as silly/cute photos! During the weekdays, I wake early to feed and play with the dogs. After work, I play with them, feed them, do some command training, then usually end the day with an evening walk through the Regis University campus. I have two spare rooms with a full size beds and dog beds for your dog. I can easily put a crate in their room as well, if this is your dog’s safe space/routine. If your dog prefers the couch or foot of my bed, they are welcome to those options as well! My backyard is 30x30 yards, and is completely fenced. I’m currently only dog-sitting in others’ homes if my dog, Lucy, can join us as well.
“Amanda was incredible! First time I actually felt comfortable leaving my ✨spicy✨cat with someone. She was fantastic with communicating and left detailed notes! Very very happy and will be using her again!”
About: I grew up with a dog and have always loved pets and animals of all kinds! When I used to stay with my sister, I would watch her two dogs and take them on walks regularly. I have also watched pets (including dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, gerbils, etc.) for friends over the years. I currently have a very open and flexible schedule! I finished my doctorate program in acupuncture, moved to Colorado at the start of this year, got my license and I’m currently looking for a job in my field. I do watch my nephews every Thursday and Friday but the rest of the week I have a lot of availability. I’m happy to feed, walk, and play with your pet. I have a cat of my own and I know the importance of taking good care of our furry friends! I love both dogs and cats and would be happy to help with either. Detailed instructions and clear communication for care is appreciated.
“Juliana was a great pet sitter for my cat Archie. She was very accommodating and I feel 100% comfortable having her taking care of my kitty. I would definitely recommend Juliana to anyone that wants to see their pet cared for.”
About: I have raised and helped care for all different kinds of animals from pregnant cats to malnourished rescue foster kittens to feathered friends and many many dogs of all various sizes. I'm currently working minimal part time and I'm home most days. I have plenty of time for playtime, walks and pets galore! Message me with any scheduling questions. I would care for all fur babies as if they were my own pets. Of course showering them in love, giving lots of enrichment and socialization, following any rules or recomendations you have for your adorable fur family members to the very best of my ability.
About: Hi I'm Erin and I have grown up with my own dogs and taken care of them and other animals since I was a young child! I have missed having my dogs around me, so I've been volunteering with dog rescues for over four years. I've fostered puppies and dogs, as well as dog sat for friends/family. I've also volunteered at a senior only dog rescue, and therefore feel comfortable with elderly dogs. I will treat your dog as if they were my own and ensure a fun and safe time! I love taking them on long walks or runs, and to the dog park (if allowed) As far as where they will be staying, I have a two bedroom house with a small backyard I work from home full time and can easily step away for walks and to play. I do get up quite early mon-thurs but have off every fri-sun I have a house with a small backyard. We are close to a few parks and I also have a car to take them on hikes/field trips
“Hannah was wonderful with our three dogs over the weekend, and I couldn’t recommend her more! She kept us updated consistently and sent lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. One of our dogs, can definitely be a bit of a handful and doesn’t always warm up to people right away, but he absolutely adored Hannah. It was so clear that she was patient, attentive, and genuinely caring with all of them. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pups and will happily book with her again!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Where do I even begin! Crystal was absolutely phenomenal with our fur babies. From the moment we left, we never once felt worried or anxious about how they were doing. That kind of peace of mind is truly priceless when you are away from your pets. Crystal went above and beyond in every way. She took our dog on multiple long walks, keeping them active, happy and well exercised. It was so clear through her updates and interactions that she genuinely cared for our animals, not just as a job, but as if they were her own. We could not recommend Crystal more highly. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets with love, dedication and exceptional care, look no further. We will absolutely be booking with her again!
Kim was amazing. Our fur baby mochi had a health complication and she did everything she could to take care of him and make him more comfortable including hunting through our house for his cone and making sure he couldn't lick at it. She gave them loves and was proactive with her care.
Bethany helped us out tremendously, we were in CO for our daughter‘s wedding and we knew that it was going to be a really long day for our dogs. Bethany came over and let them out and gave them their dinner which took.some stress off of me. Bethany always text me right back when I sent her a question. This was my first time using Rover and I’m sure it will not be my last. Thanks so much Bethany!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Wheat Ridge is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 13,237 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Wheat Ridge. 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.
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 Wheat Ridge 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.

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 , 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.
