“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! 💜”
“Diego was great and he took excellent care of our kitty girls while we were gone! But thanks to Diego for his kindness and love to our babies!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️”
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 🫶
About: I love spending time with pets, even though I don't currently have one of my own! I have been caring for dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and nothing beats having a furry companion around. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your pet will get plenty of attention, walks, and company throughout the day. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available weekdays and weekends to check in on your pet, take them for walks, or bring them over to keep me company as I work. I’m currently available to care for well behaved pets in my home on weekends and weekdays. I live in a townhome with stairs and my neighborhood has several green spaces for pets to run around.
“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!”
“Greg and Hilary are fantastic pet sitters! From the very first meeting, they were incredibly patient and kind — my 11-year-old wanted to give them the full rundown of instructions, and they listened attentively to every detail without rushing her at all. It clearly meant a lot to her that Greg and Hilary took it so seriously. They were flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process, and kept us updated with photos and check-ins while we were away. We will absolutely be booking with him again!”
“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!”
“Matthew took care of my two cats for a couple of days. He had great communication at my apt and afterwards, giving detailed updates and cute pictures. I felt secure that my kitties were well taken care of. I would absolutely book him again!”
“Heather took great care of my cat while I was gone. She also was very responsive and helped me add a day I forgot to book last minute. I will certainly be requesting her services again in the future!”
“Looking forward to asking Donald to watch my cat again! Donald is friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with. My very shy cat was very comfortable around him.”
“I needed last minute help with my dog as I was going out of town. Hannah was quick to respond and set up a meet and greet. When she arrived, she immediately greeted my dog and got on the floor with her, giving her all the pets. She asked all the right questions and made me feel confident. Then, when my flight got cancelled, Hannah was super responsive and flexible with times/visits changing. She sent tons of photos and I could tell my pup felt comfortable with her, as did I.”
“Jen helped us out in a pinch and did more than we asked- seeing what needed to be done and proactively taking care of it! I felt so good knowing she was here for our babies!!”
“This is our second time having Sheryl take care of our cats and she continues to be absolutely wonderful. The updates are so sweet and we love getting the pictures. Sheryl is our go-to for all future vacations!”
“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.”
“I couldn’t recommend Abigail enough! She helped us out by watching our pup over Thanksgiving with only a few days notice, and really made us feel comfortable during our first Rover experience. Abigail was proactive in anticipating Bug’s and our needs, like offering to meet Bug beforehand so they could get acquainted and so we could walk her through instructions and generally get to know her. She was very diligent with instructions, playful and caring with Bug, and extremely respectful of our home. We look forward to keeping in touch and will be reaching out again! 😊”

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!
Michelle was amazing from start to finish! She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were well taken care of while I was away for a long weekend. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Incredible service from Melissa! An extra ⭐️ for the very cute pics of our sweet furry friends! She was very punctual and respectful of the house and our pets, we communicate easily and I can tell our pets loved her since our very shy dog was willing to eat with her. She let us know promptly about changing situations at home and was proactive and helpful. Will definitely book with Melissa again!

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 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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
