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’m a detail oriented, caretaker who treats pets like family, not just a checklist. Someone with great communication skills, a calm confident demeanor and a desire to create a bond with my clients and their pets. Lover of animals all shapes and sizes🫶 I’ve dealt with reptiles, hamsters, crabs, fish, dogs and cats my entire existence. I am currently in a hybrid travel role where 2/3 weeks of the month I’m fully remote. I am 100% available during those remote weeks. I’m an early riser and free most evenings:) I treat all pets and animals like they’re my family, think playful and nurturing! Not afraid to get dirty, build up a sweat, or do whatever it takes to make sure our furry friends (or not so furry) feel loved, and nurtured 🫶
“Jacquie is literally the best Rover experience I have ever had. She is completely thorough and detailed oriented, which is absolutely crucial for caring our fur babies. She takes this job very seriously and I am really happy with her service. I wish she could stay longer so I can keep hiring her for my babies.”

“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.”

I’m so grateful for the attention and affection she gave them. Highly recommend booking with Ella!”

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.
“This was our first time using a pet sitter for our cats and we were very happy to find Darian. She was reliable, attentive and flexible. One of our cats had been having health issues and we stugged with leaving her, but she kept us informed of her wellbeing the entire time we were gone, so we were able to stay . I will absolutely call on Darian next time I travel.”
“Jenna did a wonderful job and communication was great. She showed up when expected and put in some extra care to make sure our super shy cat was comfortable. Did not have to worry one bit while we were away on vacation. Very grateful for her help :)”
“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!!”
“Lisa took great care of our two cats during drop in visits while we were out of town. We returned to happy kitties and a clean litter box. Lisa was great with communicating. The rover cards were awesome with lots of great pictures and detailed updates on how the cats were doing. Would highly recommend!”
“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!”
“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.”

Michelle was amazing from start to finish! She went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were well taken care of while I was away for a long weekend. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Melina was amazing and super helpful during our long weekend trip out of town to watch our two kitties. Very thorough, super nice, compassionate, and thoughtful with both of them. Thank you so much again for watching our fur babies. Will rebook in the future when we have another trip. 5 stars!
First time booking Aubrey, and she delivered exactly as promised! She was friendly at our first meet-up, asked all the right questions, and followed through on every detail. The kitties were happy and relaxed when I returned, and the place was spotless—she even cleaned up a little throw-up! Thank you, Aubrey. Will definitely book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wheat Ridge on Rover is $20 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 13,714 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.
