“Mary was ABSOLUTELY wonderful to my 2, and very large, Great Danes! One of my Danes is 10 years old, and she took such great care of him and my other Dane who is 3, while I was on vacation. She was so kinda and respectful. I definitely recommend Mary, especially for my Great Dane owners! Thank you Mary for being so kind to my lil paw family! 💜”
About: I love to walk and run with dogs! I also like hosting or checking in on cats! I am great at connecting with animals and making sure that their needs are being met. I have spent most of my life around animals and recently lost my cat. I am hoping to share some love with your pet! I work full time and I am available on weekends to host dogs. Cats I can host any time and play after work! I'm free in the evenings for walks and check ins. I have an apartment that is clean and safe for pets. I do not have a yard, but my place is set up for cats with a scratching post and toys!
“Jenna did a wonderful job and communication was great. She showed up when expected and put in some extra care to make sure our super shy cat was comfortable. Did not have to worry one bit while we were away on vacation. Very grateful for her help :)”
About: I’ve owned a number of dogs in my life, from chihuahuas to bull terriers to Shih Tzus. I’ve never had children, so dogs are my life and they bring me so much joy. I have a huge fenced in back yard, but dogs are welcome to sleep in bed with me at night. I like to take long walks in the mornings and evenings and would love a companion. I’m very active, but can adapt to your dog’s needs. I have a fenced in large yard with lots of grass. I can have the dog crated or the dog can sleep on my bed. Whichever is preferred.
About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats since I was 5, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I love spending time with pets and have years of hands-on experience feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with them. I’m currently home from school for the summer and have plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets. Whether they need company, playtime, walks, or extra attention, I’m available to spend lots of quality time with your fur babies! I have a fenced yard with a doggie door. I have two dogs and three cats to play with your pup! I also have a dog crate if needed!
“Ruth was amazing with my two cats! She was extremely communicative and reliable. I looked forward to the updates that she would send with pictures of both of them. The kitties loved her! I will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Gregory is a fantastic cat sitter! He was willing to do a FaceTime meet & greet and asked great questions before caring for our cat over the Holidays. He genuinely cares for the pets he checks in on and provides great photos. We will definitely use him again if we can, as it can be difficult to find a good cat sitter!”
“Haley is helping us with our people nervous/shy pup and she is great! It is clear she understands dog body language and will meet the dog where they are at. Our pup, Finn, adjusted really well to Haley at our first meet n greet. Would highly recommend to anyone with a dog that needs a bit of extra care.”
“Do yourself a favor and book Cassie. She is AMAZING with our three cats and sent us so many pictures and videos — it put huge smiles on our faces every day we were away!”
About: I have cared for small and large dogs, as well as cats and their homes over the last five years. I have special experience with homes that have dogs of different breeds and sizes, as well as cats that live in the same home together. I also have experience with indoor and outdoor plants and flowers. I have sat for homes and pets in all four seasons, and have experience with how to care for them in many types of climates. I work from home two days a week, and in office 3 T-Th. I have flexibility, and am available for many different types of needs. I care for each pet as if they were my own, and gently introduce myself to them upon meeting to build trust (and sometimes sing to them). :)
“Thank you so much again. I really appreciate that you got the bun some carrots and pee pads when we ran out! It also was really cool of you to drop in twice. We always hate leaving our animals, but I felt they were very well taken of.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. We’ve had dogs and my neighbors have always trusted me to watch their pets. Recently, I have hosted foster dogs, but at this moment I do not have any animals in the house and would love to host yours! I am a single female who is very active and would love to care for your pet as I would my own while you are away. I have a new home with a fully fenced in large backyard and work from home, which gives me the ability to play, cuddle, and give plenty of exercise! I work full time from home. My job from home gives me flexibility to care for your pet as needed and take them to the park over lunch breaks. I have a fully fenced in large backyard and a large park across the street. I also am able to give regular walks during the day.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wheat Ridge
Bethany did a great job checking in on our dogs for a few days while we were at a conference. She was always on-time, communicated well, and our dogs were excited to see her. She also did a great job giving one of our dogs her medications in pill and liquid form. Would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!
Aubrey is the best! She took great care of our 7 month old puppy between walks if it was cool enough and play time inside if it was too hot. We could tell how much Cali loves when Aubrey comes to visit her. Aubrey's communication is fantastic and above and beyond (even dealing with some of my brain fog from jet lag while I was out of the country with poise and compassion). HIGHLY recommend Aubrey if she is available!
Janelle was so great to work with and very quick to respond. She left a great drop-in visit summary with lots of pictures and lots of details that gave us peace of mind while we were out of the house. Would definitely love to work with her again. Thank you, Janelle!
Shannon did a wonderful job watching our two big pups while we were away! She gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing they were in very caring & capable hands. She went above & beyond for us in more ways than one, and was such a great communicator throughout. Thank you so much Shannon!

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 Wheat Ridge 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.
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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Wheat Ridge with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
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.
