About: I’ve always had dogs and absolutely love animals! I have plenty of experience caring for my own pets as well as other people’s. I love hiking, long walks, playing outside, or just hanging out and relaxing with a furry friend. I’m responsible, reliable, and flexible, and I’ll treat your pets and home like my own. I’m happy to stick to your pet’s usual routine and send lots of pictures and updates while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention! I’m self-employed in real estate, so my schedule is super flexible! I’m also taking prerequisites for nursing school, which means I spend a lot of time studying at home. I take my own dog on long walks every day and would love to bring yours along too (or if I house sit, my dog typically stays home with my partner)! I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise while you’re away. I can help however is necessary! I can walk, feed, run, or just be a companion to keep an older dog company. Let me know what you need help with and we can figure out the details!

About: Hi! I'm Beth Ann! 👋🏼 I live in Nederland with husband and our 6 year old lab-mix named Daisy that we rescued and added to our family 3 years ago. I have over 3 years of experience caring for other families pups, in addition to the experience of raising my own sweet Daisy girl. I want to provide your pup(s) with the most individualized attention and care so that they are thriving and happy. I am happy to take younger, more energetic and playful pups for a run/hike or to the dog park. I'm also glad to give more time and attention to both older and anxious dogs. As a dog owner, I know it is hard to be away from our pups, so I will send you texts and pictures to update you on what adventures your pup is up to with me, ensuring you that they are well-cared for! If I am not at home with my own doggo or in my kitchen making sourdough bread, you can often find me trail running, mountain biking or enjoying a cappuccino at a local coffee shop! I am a stay at home mom, so I will have plenty of time to love on your dog during the day and on weekends if needed. Dogs must be friendly as I will most likely bring my 1 year old daughter with me for dog walking! :) I always want to leave your pup happy and tired (in a good way meaning they had fun me!) and I will treat your home with as much care as I do my own!

About: I have five years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My experience began when I fostered a mother cat and her six very young kittens. Several had respiratory infections, so I carefully administered their prescribed medication and monitored their care. I found loving homes for four of the kittens and adopted the other two. I later worked at a humane society and have also provided pet sitting for neighbors and family members. I raised my Doberman from 11 weeks old and have personally handled his basic training, exercise, enrichment, and daily routine. Having lived with pets throughout my life, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and giving every animal patient, attentive, and dependable care. Pet care is my primary professional focus, allowing me to offer dependable availability and give each booking my full attention. I provide walks, drop-ins, and limited boarding throughout the week. To ensure personalized care and a calm home environment, I board only one guest dog at a time, subject to availability and a successful meet-and-greet. I provide walks and drop-in care in my clients’ homes, as well as limited boarding in my own home. My home has a securely fenced one-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised exercise and play. I have a Doberman and three cats, with separate areas available so animals can have their own secure space when needed. I board only one guest dog at a time and require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. Introductions are handled gradually and supervised carefully, and pets are separated during meals and whenever supervision is not possible. Before every booking, I review each pet’s routine, temperament, feeding instructions, medical needs, emergency contacts, and behavioral considerations. Pet parents receive regular photos and updates throughout their pet’s stay or visit.

About: I’ve been lucky enough to share my home with dogs & cats my whole life, and would love to care for your fur babies overnight in your home, drop-in for walks or spend time giving loving attention & meals. I live in the Nederland area and have a 4wd vehicle with high clearance, so no problems navigating mountain life for your pets! I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dog - I’ve raised rescue pups to mature gentleman & well-mannered ladies, and they’ve ranged in size from a 100lbs Golden Retriever/Chow mix to a 13lbs Pug/Shitzu. I’m a stay at home pet momma with a flexible schedule that allows me to can care for your fur babies overnight in your home. I live on five unfenced acres and walk my two dogs (always on leash) around Nederland, Sugarloaf, and surrounding areas of the Canyons. I’d be happy to go on leashed walks/hikes with your doggos! or if you have a yard, I’d be happy to watch your pup closely as we enjoy unleashed play time. I am accustomed to and prepared for mountain life and the variables it brings (wildlife, weather, fires, etc.).

About: I have been petsitting since 2014, as of recently taking a break from my full time corporate job. I have open availability for whatever you have in mind - for the same cost of a kennel or less, your dog can stay in his environment while you are away, with plenty of company/outside time/exercise as you see fit. Happy to take long walks if needed. Your pup is also welcome to stay in my home if you’d prefer as long they are ok with other dogs/cats! Open availability, full time care. If housesitting I’m happy to spend majority of day with your pets, however will need to leave a few hours of day to take care of my own. I have a fully fenced in wooded yard and two of my own dogs who are ready to play. They are supervised at all times if outside.

About: I’m Leo. Your dog will get walks, play, photos, and real company, not an empty house. I won’t only do these things because they need it but I’m happy to. I go hiking or biking almost every day. All sizes. I’ll follow your routine. You get updates the whole time. Request a meet and greet and we’ll go from there. I bet ill love your dog more than they love me. I’m a sophomore living on the Hill in Boulder. Most days look the same, which is good for dogs. I walk to campus for about an hour of class in the morning. Then I come straight home. I make lunch, take your dog out, hang on the floor with them, throw a toy, or just let them nap next to me while I study. That stretch in the middle of the day is a few hours, so they are not sitting in an empty place waiting. Afternoon class is one to two hours. Same thing after: walk home, another outing, water, treats, and time together. Nights I am home. Your dog will not be alone for more than two hours. If they need a mid-day walk, extra play, or just someone in the room, that is already built into how my day works. I’ll treat your dog how I’d want mine (really my mom’s) to be treated. I'm happy to give you access to my Amazon Alexa so you can see and maybe even interact with your dog. My place on the Hill is set up for dogs first. Doors stay shut, trash is put away, cords and anything chewable get picked up before a guest arrives. If I have your dog, they are not loose in a room I have not already checked. I do a meet and greet so we both know the vibe before any overnight. I follow your rules on food, crate, meds, and where they sleep. I do not leave them loose with the front door or windows open. When I leave for class they are either crated if that is what you want or in a safe closed-off space, and I am never gone more than two hours. Trust for me is simple. You get photos and a short update when I get home and when we go out. If something feels off I tell you right away instead of hoping it blows over. If you also have a cat, I keep them separate from dogs unless you say they already live together. Litter, food, and a quiet room stay theirs. I do not force handling. I let them come to me. The goal is a calm house, not a chaotic one. I live alone in an apartment, so I’m happy to have your pet as a buddy.

About: Hi there! All my life I have been an animal lover and for the last 8 years I have raised my own dog, and taken care of other dogs for families I used to babysit for. I can fit in any lifestyle your pet has, whether they are active or a stay-at-home. I can fit any accommodation as I work from home, love to exercise (so your dog would get plenty of it, if need be), and I'm incredibly flexible and will be normally free to help you more than not. At the same time, I raised my dog since she was a puppy so I do have experience with younger, more energetic dogs and overall I would simply love to help and treat your dogs like family. I hope we can talk soon! I'm super flexible and work from home at the moment so I basically can take care of your dogs whenever you may need it. I will certainly be more free for your dog rather than not! I will care for your pet in your home however you see fit. I do what is asked and can fit any accommodation whether your dog has a lot of needs, or simply needs a walk and some playtime. I'm happy to help however it may be!

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and apparently they've had one for me too. Hi, my name is Sarah and I live in the Boulder area. I’ve been a lifelong pet lover and have had the pleasure of sharing my life with all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds, and even livestock. Unfortunately, I recently became petless after my old girl passed away. This has left my love for pets homeless and I would love nothing more than to give it all to your babies. Cuddles, belly rubs, a good hike, maybe a little mud and a bath and of course some yummy treats, I’m here for it all! Whether your pet is a professional couch potato, an enthusiastic adventure buddy or just needs a little extra TLC, I have the experience and enough love to keep up with them. I’m currently working as part of a wildlife rehabilitation internship. I’m still in the first stage, so I only need to be there about 20 hours a week, which gives me lots of flexibility. This means I can work my internship schedule around what your pet needs! Early morning feedings? Done. Middle of the night potty breaks? Done. Need a midday nap buddy? Done. I’m open to both weekdays and weekends and with 24 hours’ notice, I can usually adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s needs. Your pet’s routine is important and I’m happy to work around it whenever I can! My first priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible because I know that consistency can make a big difference when their favorite person isn’t around. This all starts with the bond I work to form with them from the moment I become the stranger invading their territory. I’m not just there to feed, walk and clean up messes. I’m there to make sure your pet doesn’t feel scared, abandoned or stressed while you’re away. I want you to be able to leave knowing that they’re not just being looked after, they’re being loved. That peace of mind for you also comes from my close attention to detail. No door will be left open. No change in behavior shall go unnoticed. No accident will be left unattended and no animal shall be shamed. I won’t just keep your pets alive. I’ll make sure they feel safe, secure and cared for, with lots of stories for you to come home to while you’re out creating your own memories.

About: My love for animals exceeds my love for humans. I have always been the biggest animals person and have owned every animal in the book, from rodents to fish to mammals. I have raised multiple puppies to adulthood, both small dogs like Maltese, and large dogs like pit bulls. I am a renowned hamster sitter who even had baby hamsters at one point, and currently have three fish tanks in my college apartment. Point is I love animals and would love to hang out and give your pet the best time ever! I have a lot of time throughout my day. The longest I am out of the house for pre day is 2 hours for classes occasionally, but other than that I am home and bored. Pet care would easily fit into my schedule to ensure your pet has the best experience with me. Caring for pets in my home would be very simple as I would just aim to make them as comfortable and safe as possible. In terms of pet care at your home, I would be the best house sitter. I will ensure your home will be left in the same condition or cleaner when you return, and will ensure that your pets feels as safe and comfortable as possible.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I am currently a full time student without a flexible schedule. I don’t have a job, so I have plenty of availability for your dogs. I have a dog back home who is truly my best friend, and I miss him so much while I’m away. I’ve always absolutely loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I would love to play with your dogs, take them on walks, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never lonely while you’re away!

About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!

About: Hello pet parents! I hope you choose me to help care for your pets - I can't wait to meet them! I have had pets in my house ever since I was born. I grew up with many varieties of animals among the years and numerous cats and dogs. I have always been a huge animal lover and can't wait until I have the property and space to home more friends! Until then, I am eager to meet others' animals and help take care of them and give them lots of love! The very first thing I have always done at new people's houses with animals is greet all of the animals. I am a highly energetic individual with a strong eye that seeks to pay attention to the needs of other beings. I am looking forward to hearing from you and your pets I make my own scheduled so I am highly flexible and available for caring for your pets! I have two cats and a fish that I give lots of love and attention daily - and looking forward to caring more for other animals too! I do not have a home space in which I am capable of taking in others animals currently, but I take care of the pets at the owners home this same way! First thing when I get home is to greet my pets and give them attention and love. I play for a little and then check to see the water bowl is full (and for my cats that the food is also - I know dogs are on a schedule). With dogs, I would regularly schedule times to take them out for walks - and make sure I match them for however they wanna walk! (Slow, adventurous, running a little faster) I make sure that I have plenty of plastic bags and treats to take with on the walk. I do not like to leave dogs alone for more than 2-4 hours. I love interacting with animals and giving them lots of attention!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Whispering Pine. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Whispering Pine after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Whispering Pine. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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 walker.
