“Annabelle was awesome!! She house sat for over a week while I was out of state. My dog is a retired K9, so he's very high drive and high energy. She was absolutely fantastic with him, and he LOVED her. This was my first time leaving him in the care of someone new and she was perfect. On top of that, she left the house spotless, had great communication the entire time, and even went above and beyond by putting ointment on his paw pad after he got a little cut while playing. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.”


“Aimee was great with Olive and had to deal with some late night potty breaks She kept us updated and we appreciated that she was available last minute. She left our house clean and tidy”


“Brooke was absolutely amazing with Estes! We are from out of town on vacation and, unfortunately, our dog barks when we go hiking without him. Instead of someone coming in and out to let him out, we decided to book her for the day to sit with him. She did exactly as we asked and he was so happy every time we came home. We can’t wait to use her when we return to the area. Thank you, Brooke!!!!!”


“My dogs are a bit on the high maintenance side and Ken was fabulous! Came home to two happy, healthy doggos who were very well cared for. Ken also had to deal with a major power outage at my home while we were away, and was not phased and helped keep the pipes from freezing! Would definitely recommend Ken and book him again.”

“Jodie was a phenomenal cat and house sitter for our 3 week vacation. She would give us regular updates and was always quick to reply. The cats and house were in great shape when we returned. So thankful for her time and attention to our furry kiddos.”

About: Currently in Leadville. Ready to meet some new doggos. I’ve been dog sitting since 2015. I have a standard poodle who is great with other pets and loves to play. I have a ton of space for play! We are very active and love getting outside and we are in the perfect area for that. I have two pretty awesome pups, both high energy poodles, so rain or shine we find a way to play outside. They go lots of places with me and I usually work around their schedule! 🐩 🐩 Make sure I know the ins and outs of the home and everyone is always comfortable. My dogs have their favorite spots and safe places and I know when I’m in clients homes to always be aware.
About: Grew up with a dog and taking care of neighbors animals. Missing a furry guy or girl to walk on my daily walks. I work as a patrollers and EMT at the ski clinics. Comfortable with first aid and giving meds. I work during the weeks till 5pm but willing to stop by after work or before! Free most weekends just reach out and see what we can coordinate. I live in an apartment with roommates so I can't host dogs. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pup in your home, where they’re most comfortable.

“Trisha was great with our dogs. She is intuitive about what the dogs need and how to manage them. She was also good with communication and super flexible on working with us to accommodate logistics. Would definitely rebook.”

About: I recently lost my puppy of 14 years, who was my world, so I decided to sign up to love on other dogs. I have volunteered at numerous shelters; taken training classes and first aid courses. I work from home part time, and am used to having a pup in-tow. I am almost always home and available, or outside carrying a leash. I am flexible and able to house sit and drop in. 5 min drive off I70 Exit 205 silverthorne. I know I just signed up, but am experienced and have plenty of time and space for your dog! You'll see 😁 I work from home, a few hrs per day. So that gives me a lot of flexibility and time for your pet. I am also available to house sit and do drop ins. I will provide a safe and caring home for your pup by offering daily exercise and playtime (and love), ensuring fresh food and water are always available, maintaining a clean and secure living environment, and seeking any veterinary care. I will also make sure your pet is comfortable and well loved, with plenty of attention and affection! 😊 I can send daily photos on request.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Alma on Rover is $46.01 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 239 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Alma. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Alma walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Alma maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Alma choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alma. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
