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!
“Daniel was great working with our pups. One of our dogs refused to come inside and Daniel looked up how to work with the stubborn Bernese Mountain Dog. The next day he had zero issues.”
About: Dogs have been a big part of my life, and caring for them is something that truly brings me joy! I raised my own dog from the time she was just 4 months old, and we shared many wonderful years together before I sadly had to say goodbye to her last year. She taught me so much about the love, patience, and commitment that go into caring for a dog, and she will always hold a special place in my heart. ❤️ Throughout our time together, I taught her all kinds of tricks and commands, including sit, down, turn around, speak, roll over, up, and stay, along with many others! I love spending time with dogs, keeping them engaged, and helping them learn through positive reinforcement, patience, and encouragement. These days, I enjoy helping friends care for their dogs while they're out of town. Whether it's keeping them company, playing with them, maintaining their routines, or simply giving them extra love and attention, I'm always happy to have some furry friends around! I also have experience caring for a dog with additional medical needs. During my dog's last year, she developed Cushing's disease, which taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, and understanding when a dog needs extra care and support. This experience has given me a special appreciation for senior dogs and dogs who may need a little extra help or a gentler approach. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. Whether your dog is energetic and playful, still learning their manners, getting older, or needs extra attention, I'll do my best to make sure they feel happy and cared for while you're away. I know how much our dogs mean to us, and I want you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands. 🐶💕 I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to fit pet care into my day. I love having furry companions around while I work and can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I'll do my best to accommodate your pet's routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities! ❤️ I follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and do my best to maintain your pet’s usual routine. I treat every pet as if they were my own and every home with care and respect. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away!
“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.”
“Marissa was incredibly responsive and attentive to what my dog needs. It's easy to tell that she's an animal lover and cares about what's best for them. I look forward to having her back!”
“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cats! She was communicative throughout the stay, followed all of my care instructions, and I felt confident that my cats were well taken care of while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I would definitely recommend her and book with her again!”
About: My goal is simple. I’m here to help make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you are away. And help you enjoy your plans, with peace of mind, while you are away. 🐾❤️ As a huge animal lover, I know how much it matters to find someone who will care for your pet like you do. I’m available for walks, bathroom breaks, play time, and boarding in your home on weekdays and weekends. I’d love to meet your furry family member, and you too! I have a natural ability to connect with animals. I think it’s because they can sense that I’m an animal lover, and they know quickly that they are safe with me. I’ve even been called the “animal whisperer.” Lol! Not to compete with Cesar Milan because let’s be real, he’s the GOAT! 😊 I’ve cared for the beloved pets of neighbors, friends, and family for many years. My mission is to make them feel safe and at ease while their parents are away.

Corrie was absolutely wonderful with our cats, Boba and Ube! She was reliable, caring, and took great care of them while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We really appreciate her taking the time to care for our babies, and we would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Casey made my first Rover experience so easy and stress-free. I needed support on short notice, and she made herself available to meet me and my pup, and provided excellent communication and care throughout. I will absolutely seek Casey’s care for Greta again in the future!
Melissa is an absolute gem! She is so kind, communicative, and reliable. Most importantly, she was so sweet and caring with my cat. She’s incredibly thoughtful with her notes, pictures, and videos with each visit. I feel so grateful to have found a sitter like her and will definitely be reaching out to her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wheat Ridge is $26 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 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 November 2026, there are 13,671 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 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:
- 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
