About: Apart from loving and taking care of my family’s three dachshunds and two cats, I also have years of experience caring for other people’s pets. I have followed detailed care instructions when handling multiple dogs at a time and have experience administering medications to elderly dogs. I not only make sure your pet’s needs are taken care of, but I think it’s important to give them extra love to keep them happy and feelings safe while their favorite people are away. I’m currently wrapping up my current position and am excited to focus more on growing my art business. I’m looking for flexible work that fits alongside my creative career, which makes pet sitting a perfect fit. My schedule allows me to be reliable, responsive, and able to spend quality time with the pets in my care. Whether it’s walks, drop in visits, or overnight stays, I’ll make sure your pets receive the attention, consistency, and care they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and follow your care instructions closely. I strive to create a calm, positive environment where pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Darian was great! When our cats were really vocal near our automatic feeder, she checked in to see if that was normal, or if it was something to be concerned about - yup, they’re just loud and always trying to get extra food! But I appreciated the care. :)”
“Megan was so nice and friendly - she even worked with my crazy work travel schedule. I really appreciate her taking care of my companion while I was on the road. He seemed happy and comfortable while I was away and that was a huge relief to me. Thank you again Megan. Rigby and I appreciate you!”
“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! 💜”
“Melissa was wonderful with my dog, Jerry! She was reliable, caring, and made the whole experience stress-free. She definitely goes above and beyond and I couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Jessica was great! Each day she sent nice photos and detailed reports of how our kitties were doing. She also spent time keeping them company and playing with them during the visits. I would definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Terri did an afternoon drop-in, after a meet & greet with our pups. She was on-time, thorough, & communicative. We so appreciate her as part of our care team when we’re away from home.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wheat Ridge
Linsey took great care of my cats while I was gone. She provided daily updates with lots of pictures and interacted with all of my girls. Linsey followed the directions I provided so that my cats were well cared for. Many thanks to Linsey for attending to my cats' needs.
Kennedy was great!! I don't leave my babies often, and when I do it's comforting to know they are in good hands. Kennedy handled everything amazingly and gave me confidence they were in good hands. It's not easy handling 3 very different dogs, and she did so with ease!! Thank you!!!
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!
Darian did a wonderful job with Mac! She was so communicative about how Mac was doing and the pictures were amazing - they kept me sane while being away from her so long. I am so grateful for Darian's attention and willingness to pivot when things went wrong. Darian was AMAZING!
Remi was an amazing pet sitter! She took such great care of my two cats while I was away and gave me real peace of mind. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated, which meant so much to me. My cats can be very shy, but I could tell they were well looked after. She even went above and beyond by making sure everything was taken care of while I was gone. I highly recommend Remi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you again, Remi, for taking such wonderful care of Noah and Naomi!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wheat Ridge on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 13,729 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wheat Ridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wheat Ridge. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
