“Linda was wonderful — our pup Bella was in love from the moment she met her. Linda patiently answered all my questions and provided frequent updates. She also made this first-time Rover-er feel super comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”
About: Grew up taking care of dogs, as well as having 2 of my own! Love going outdoors and on a paved sidewalk taking hikes and walks! I do have a fenced area as well. I can’t wait to take care of your furry friends! 🩷 I currently work fully remote. I am able to leave the house mainly at any time to let any dogs out, go on a walk, or work in another location if I’m house sitting. I am very open to following your pets routines. I am flexible and will work with you and your pets for whatever they need to thrive.
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.
“Second time using Terri and it feels like she has been watching our cats for years. Our older cat Cosmo is usually standoffish with strangers, and even people he has known his whole life. But when Terri comes in he instantly goes to the room with his toys for play time. Our very first meeting our younger cat Goose jumped up on her lap (she never does this with us!). Terri is a cat whisperer and we love her. I feel like they don’t even seem phased by us going on vacation anymore. They love her so much and she clearly goes above and beyond in making them feel taken care of. Thanks so much Terri!!”
“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!!”
“Madison was great! Our usual sitter was out of town and I'm so so glad Madison was able to watch our dog for the night. We didn't have to worry about her at all while we were away!”
“Sienna was great! Totally reliable and took amazing photos and videos every day. It was nice not having to worry about my girl while I was gone. I will definitely be using Sienna again in the future.”

“Sheryl took great care of our dog and handle all of his quirks really well :) She made sure he had plenty of walks and was entertained while we were out of town. We plan to use Sheryl again in the future.”
“I can never say enough good things about Sara! Our cat absolutely adores her and Sara always gives him the best treatment. I always appreciate Sara's descriptive and thorough updates along with the adorable photos. Cannot wait to use Sara again! :)”
“Amy took great care of our cat, got our mail for us, and kept our cat's litter area very clean. She kept us updated every day with notes and photos. We would definitely use her again to watch our cat and home.”
About: I am a life long pet owner and animal lover of all kinds, I am trusted w friends and family’s pet and comfortable with different routines and pet personalities. I am available and flexible during the week, since I am transitioning between jobs and I can also be flexible on Saturdays. I am pretty open to what your needs require Making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable in my presence is very important to me. I like to take time for your pet to get used to me and will never force them to do anything they are clearly uncomfortable with. Before leaving a home, I always make sure they have water, they’re given a treat (I will fill a food bowl if necessary as well) and plenty of love and attention before I go.
“Charissa did such an amazing job with my 2 cats! She was on time and very informative at every visit. I had no stress knowing that she was checking on them everyday and never failed to give me updates and send me pictures. Will definitely hire her again in the future when I’m out of town.”
“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.”
“Grace took the time to come meet the dogs before her first visit. She was attentive to our dogs specific needs and even our dog who is more sensitive to new people took to her quickly. Great communicator and easy to work with!”
“Greg’s service taking care of our cats was outstanding. His communication was always clear and friendly. Every visit was punctual and always came with plenty of photos. Our cats had a few accidents during our vacation, and Greg kept us informed and handled them appropriately. We would definitely try to use him again in the future and would recommend him to friends. Thank you! Best, Collin and Hayden”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wheat Ridge
We have been trusting Bethany to take great care of our fur babies for over 3 years and she has always done such a great job! Our dog and cats love her, and she is very accommodating with their special dietary needs. She is a lifesaver every time we need to head out of town!!
Anna was great with my high energy and nervous shepherd mix. He can bark and jump on new people but Anna was super receptive to my instructions to prevent this and was able to play with him, give him water, treats, and a potty break within 30 minutes. She was very responsive to my messages as well. She has lots of experience with foster dogs which is great for my high maintenance big boy.
Debra was great. Lots of communication and updates during the drop in. It’s always scary for me to leave my baby (yes, crazy dog mom status) with someone, but Debra made me feel at ease. We will definitely be using her again when I get over my fear of boarding.
Marissa has been my pups’ go-to sitter for several months now. She is incredibly attentive and they just love her - they are SO happy during her visits and it’s clear in the photos and vids she shares. Recently, one of my dogs needed administration of some meds as well as some extra attention with a cone of shame. Marissa handled everything wonderfully and I felt good knowing he was in trusted hands. BOOK HER, if you can!
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.
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!

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.
