“Melissa was excellent. You can tell she really enjoys spending time with animals which leads to great care. I hope she is available next time I’m away I will absolutely use her services again!”
About: Mostly all my experience is caring my pets, and friends/family. I am very in tune with my pets and other pets, sensing friendly or unfriendly pets. I'm currently retired and seeking to add 3-4 dog walking sessions per week. I will be available late mornings 10-1pm and late afternoons 4-7pm, Monday - Friday. I currently walk my 8 year old pet, several times daily, leashed around my neighborhood. He is friendly, yet cautious with other dogs. I am respectful with other dog walkers and dogs.
“Kelly is awesome! She popped over before we were out of town to meet the girls and familiarize them. Really great communication and all around grateful to have had her help”
“Linda is amazing! She spends time with my pups exactly as they need - snuggles! She comes exactly when she indicates and makes sure the dogs get what they need! They are very excited to see her and give her kisses!”
About: I have 38 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds, including dogs, cats, and kittens. My experience includes caring for multiple animals during extended house stays, administering medications, bathing dogs and kittens, and providing attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s needs and personality. I’m also certified in Dog & Cat First Aid and CPR, so you can feel confident knowing your pets are in capable and caring hands. I treat every animal like they’re my own and take pride in making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Before and after work visits. On days when I am not working my other job I am happy to visit mid day as well. Regular 30 min visits unless otherwise booked. Dogs will get outdoor time which will be on a case to case basis. My pets are spoiled. They get so many snuggles, lots of play time, they are papered with getting brushed and treats every night. Their litters are kept clean and I even have a cat that likes to hydrate in the shower multiple times a day.
“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!”
“Megan is fantastic, she came and helped me out last minute and delivered well beyond expectations. You can tell she really enjoys what she does & provides your pet with the same love you’d give them. much appreciated.”
“Taylor went above and beyond to make sure Jax was comfortable and taken care of. We recently moved so he’s been very suspicious of strangers, but he loved her instantly. We will definitely be repeat clients”
“Angela was great with my cat Luna! I’m super grateful to have found such a great sitter. Angela played with Luna daily and sent tons of pictures of her so I felt really good knowing Luna was in good hands. I highly recommend Angela!”
“Bethany is so good with our dogs! They are always happy to see us back, but not frantic. Bethany plays with them and gives them lots of loving attention, so the dogs are more comfortable when we’re gone. Bethany even went above and beyond to climb through a fallen tree to make sure our dogs were taken care of!”
“Madison was great with our 2 dogs! She allowed them to warm up to her and they soon became great friends. Madison is a great communicator and took into account all of our pets needs during her visit.”
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!
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.
“Adam took such good care of my dog! She’s a recent rescue so she can be anxious, but Adam bonded with her well and now she gets excited to see him. He followed instructions and was super conscientious.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have had the good fortune of having pets that are super easy and others that have required a little more work. One of my dogs growing up had anxiety, as well as allergies, and though she was a bit of a handful, she was also the sweetest pup. I also used to live with a roommate who had a Shiba with a lot of personality and somehow even more anxiety. Understanding her boundaries and slowly getting her more comfortable with myself and strangers was a very rewarding experience, even when she panicked and did the old Shiba scream every now and then. I currently have two cats. One is a little old lady at 16 and the other is a 5 year old orange cat with a lot of personality and love to give. They're both very sweet, if different kitties. As mentioned before, because one of my dogs had allergies, I'm very comfortable with giving animals medicine. Several of my dogs dealt with ear infections, my older cat gets daily medication to aid with her thyroid and the younger cat has to have gaba anytime we go to the V-E-T. So I'm well versed in the different aspects of applying medication and am very comfortable doing so as well. Overall, my experience with both dogs and cats means I can work well with both, and I'm happy to give your fur baby the patience and care it needs to live it's best life! I'm currently a graduate student at Regis University and work part time at a farmers market. Currently, this means I have classes on Monday and Tuesday nights, and work Sunday mornings, but otherwise I have a flexible schedule and can work around your schedule and needs. I am more than happy to come to your home, especially since that's the place your pet will feel most comfortable. I am comfortable crating your pet, giving medication, spending time playing with them, walking them and more. I am also super comfortable with working with multiple animals, I grew up in a multi dog household and currently live in a multi cat household. Most importantly, I would work directly with you to determine your pets need and build a schedule and plan around those needs.
“Abigail is awesome, probably the best sitter I’ve ever come across. Always providing detailed notes of my fur baby and their time together. Puts me at complete ease. I would trust her with my first born child👌”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wheat Ridge
Darian is amazing! She looked after our two cats, fed and watered them. Our cats are usually shy around people but they both came out for Darian, it just shows she has a special way with animals. She went above and beyond and made an extra trip over to feed them when their auto feeder stopped working and was very communicative through the entire booking. We highly recommend her!
Megan was excellent. You can tell she loves cats. I don’t like leaving my babies but when I met her I knew she was a cat lover. I have never had anyone that I didn’t know take care of them before. I truly felt comfortable and all was well when we got home. I would highly recommend Megan.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wheat Ridge is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $34 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 13,630 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheat Ridge. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
