“Michael was great and was very helpful in securing a short-notice sitter. He was flexible and able to adapt to my larger pack. Very communicative and was able to accommodate their various needs. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a sitter who may have a less typical pet situation.”
“Jennifer did a great job watching our two dogs and cat, everyone was healthy and happy when we got home. She went over and beyond to tidy up the house and make sure all was good at the end of the house-sitting stay, which we appreciated!”
“Having Zapora as a dog-sitting guest in my home was a wonderful experience. I would certainly invite her to sit with Honey and Yarra any time. A fantastic experience.”
“When my house sitter had to have last minute surgery, Jordan was able to swoop in last minute. He took wonderful care of my house and pups and had great communication. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for +A sitting.”
“Shannon watched our dogs for the first time last weekend on short notice and she was wonderful! Incredibly responsive, sent pictures of our doggies, and took them on walks and frequently let them out. Will definitely rely on her again soon!”
“Thanks Morgan! The nightly updates were a great addition. It was nice to know our two dogs were in good hands when we were away. We appreciate you looking over them.”
“Alicia is excellent! Watched our dogs over a weekend for us and took them on multiple walks, played with them in our backyard, brushed them, and sent plenty of update of pictures so we could see how much fun they were having with her. We would love to have her watch our pups again the next time we are out of town!”
“Scarlett was fantastic! She took wonderful care of Sky, Goku, and Hamilton while I was away, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She kept me updated with pictures, which I really appreciated, and it was clear the dogs were happy and well looked after. Everything was exactly as I hoped for, and I came home to three content pups. I would definitely book with Scarlett again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
“Although it was a short stay, Mckinzie did a great job taking care of our pets and house during the holiday fireworks. The pups were comfortable and relaxed when we got home and she followed our requested instructions about taking them out, giving them a treat to relax, and our house rules. We appreciate Mckinzie being available to help on the holiday!”
“Terri has been my dog watcher basically since my pup was born, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with her even close to as much as Terri. She is loving, kind, patient, extremely knowledgeable about dogs, and very communicative! She is well known in our neighborhood as a friendly soul and the person to go to for pet care. Just book her, you won’t regret it I promise :)”
“Katie is an amazing dog sitter. She was so communicative and loving to my little Louie! I felt at ease with her watching him and my home. I will definitely be hiring her again!”
About: I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, including more than 35 years as a devoted cat dad and several seasons as a dog parent as well. My experience also includes volunteer work at the Denver Zoo and local animal shelters, where I provided calm, reliable care in diverse and often demanding environments. For the past decade, I’ve walked dogs through area shelters, supporting pups of every age, size, and temperament. From energetic adolescents to seniors who need a slower, steadier pace, I adjust accordingly. I focus on being fully present, patient, and attuned to each animal’s personality. Every pet in my care receives grounded, attentive support that helps them feel safe, understood, and genuinely connected. I’m currently on leave from my full‑time job, which means I have wide availability for both daytime walks and longer‑term care. Whether you need multiple walking stints throughout the day or extended stays and overnight support, I’m able to be fully present and attentive. Your pet gets calm, consistent care and a dependable routine while you’re away. As a lifelong animal lover, I care for your pet with real intention by tuning into their energy, their personality, and the quiet ways they communicate. I connect deeply with the soul of each animal I meet, and I take the time to understand their unique characteristics so their care feels personal, comforting, and truly aligned with who they are. I’m committed to giving your pet the kind of presence and attention that helps them feel safe and understood. I also make sure you feel just as supported as their parent. I provide regular updates, thoughtful notes, and plenty of pictures so you always know how they’re doing and how dedicated I am to their wellbeing. Your pet’s experience matters, and so does your peace of mind and I show that through consistent communication, grounded care, and genuine connection.
About: I've been an animal lover my whole life and I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities. I currently have two cats of my own and also take care of my friends' pets, including an older cat who needs daily medication, so I'm used to following routines closely and giving medication when needed. I know dogs do best when their day feels normal, so I'll stick to your dog's usual feeding times, walks, and potty breaks. Whether your dog is full of energy or a little nervous around new people, I'll take the time to let them get comfortable with me. If they want to play, we'll play, and if they'd rather relax on the couch, that works for me too. My schedule is very flexible, so I'm available for last minute trips and longer stays, and your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. I'll send photo updates every day and take care of your home like it's my own. I'd love to meet you and your pup before your trip! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I start each morning feeding Leo and Winston and cleaning their litter boxes, and they get playtime and attention throughout the day. I also help care for two of my friends' cats, including an older cat who needs medication on a regular schedule, so keeping track of feeding times, meds, and routines comes naturally to me. Since my schedule is flexible, I can easily build my day around the pets I'm caring for. That means meals on time, regular play and attention, and plenty of company so they never feel alone for long. For now I only offer care in your home, which I think is the best option for most pets anyway. They get to stay in a familiar place with their own beds, toys, and routines, which keeps their stress low while you're away. When I'm staying in your home, I'll follow your pet's usual schedule for meals, medication, walks, litter, and playtime as closely as possible. If your dog is crate trained, I'm happy to keep up with their crate routine too. I'll keep fresh water out, clean up after them, and spend plenty of time with them so they have company. I'll also take care of the little things around the house like bringing in mail, watering plants, and making sure everything is locked up. I'll send daily photo updates so you always know how your pets are doing.
“Vanessa was an exceptional pet sitter! She took great care of our pup Mac, keeping him happy and well-looked after. She was reliable, professional, and maintained excellent communication throughout her time with him. I also appreciated how clean and organized everything was when I returned. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter!”
“Ericha is amazing! We felt so comfortable leaving our two pups in her care, and we couldn’t be more thankful for how communicative she was with us! She was fast to respond, took lots of photos and reassured us along the way as we haven’t left them in a long time! We will definitely be using her again in the future!!!”

Remi was a wonderful dog sitter and person! She was in contact with us regularly throughout the 5 days that she stayed in our house, and took such great care of Lexi. She really knows dogs and is so responsible for both our dog and our house. Remi really went the extra mile to make sure everything went well and took real initiative, caring down to every detail. Looking forward to having her come back!
So sweet and friendly! My dogs loved having her with them and we already book the next time we are out of town with her. She is very communicative, will send a lot of pics of your fur babies and we came home to a nice clean house (which is a must for me). She was very respectful around the house and friendly with my kids too! I highly recommend her!!
Miranda is absolutely wonderful. I am so so grateful for her expertise and thoughtfulness. She took such good care of Wyatt, doing topical treatments and giving multiple medications for an infection and concurrent lupus flair-up. She was also so kind and flexible in accommodating my schedule, even changing the linens and making the bed for me, knowing I would be getting in late after driving all day. I could not recommend her more.
Amazing dogsitter! We had a last minute need for a sitter and Scott responded immediately. Lulu is very shy and hesitant and Scott took the time to make her comfortable. He was so patient with her and cared so much about connecting with her and making sure she was happy. We will definitely ask him to sit for Lulu again when we leave town!
Raven was amazing!! We used her while we were going out of the country, and unfortunately, the day before we left, our dog was attacked by another dog and had to undergo surgery. We were so stressed about leaving her after everything that happened, but Raven immediately made us feel so much better and reassured us that our pets were in great hands. She sent us lots of updates throughout our trip, gave our dog her medications, and even kept an eye on her stitches for us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Raven was there taking such great care of her while we were away. We would 100% use Raven again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets!!
We had to switch dog sitters recently and had Michael stay at our house for the first time, and he was such a pleasure! Not only is he a thoughtful, kind person, he is very conscientious about staying in someone else’s house. He cleaned up after himself, washed the sheets and re-made the bed, and then left us a little framed photo of our dog for when we arrived home :) How sweet! He sent us pictures every day of our pup even just being lazy around the house (that’s what he does!) communication was excellent and he was on time for meet-ups. Michael is reliable, genuine, and takes his role seriously! We will absolutely be hoping to have Michael be our go-to dog/house sitter!
Joanna was such a huge help to me and my partner. She accommodated a fairly last minute request and helped ease my mind during a weekend away. I appreciated the photo and video updates, great communication, and her commitment to maintaining my pup’s routine. I would absolutely book Joanna again!
Aimee was 11/10 sitter for our two doggies, one who’s a senior and requires extra care and daily meds. She communicated well with photos and updates on the doggies. The home was left in great condition. So happy to have found her and hope to utilize her services again. Highly recommend!
Ericha was very sweet with our Roo! This was our first time using the Rover app. So she was very helpful letting us know what she all needed to have a successful experience. She sent great updates and pictures! We will definitely be using her in the future☺️

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Wheat Ridge walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Wheat Ridge maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
