“Jacob took good care of our precious fur babies while we were out of town for a few days. The dogs are energetic so I know it was hard work. We especially valued that Jacob took the time for a meet and greet before the booking to ensure compatibility . Jacob proved to be a professional and trust worthy young man and we will book again with him again in the future.”

“It was our first time having Karissa watch our girls. She was very attentive to our instructions and responded very quickly to any questions we had. She kept us apprised of how our girls were doing with lots of pictures. The girls seemed very happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely reach out to Karissa for future dog sitting needs.”

About: I have dogs of my own, a little weenie dog and a Redtick Coonhound, so I’m familiar with loving dogs of different sizes and personalities! I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time with all kinds of dogs, big or small. What sets me apart is that I truly care about making every fur baby feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m very trustworthy and responsible, and I’ll treat your dog like part of my own family. Happy dog, happy me! 🐾🤍 I currently work full-time Monday through Friday, from 9 AM to 5 PM, and my schedule is consistent. I do attend church on Wednesday evenings and Sunday mornings, but outside of that, I’m pretty flexible! I’d love the opportunity to spend time with your fur baby, give them lots of love, and make sure they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m a very trustworthy and reliable person, and I hold honesty and integrity above all else. I want you to feel completely comfortable trusting me with your fur baby, knowing that their safety, happiness, and well being are my top priorities. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and stress free while you’re away. Happy dog, happy me!

About: I've always loved our furry friends: wether sheltering strays for a few days, pet sitting for neighbors, or volunteering at my local shelter I learned each animal has their own personality and temperament but all require some basic needs, like water, food, exercise, mental stimulation, and ofc love! Beyond the practical knowledge of walking, feeding, training, and playing with animals I've also had a personal fascination into the minds of animals (LOVE watching dog training videos and reading up on Donna Haraway). When I mean I love pets and want to make sure they'll have a good time, I mean it! I’ve say both cats and dogs from days to months, small to large, shy to outgoing. Your fur child will be in great hands! I work from home full time, so my availability can be pretty flexible! Open to chat more based on needs and schedules Every animal has a different schedule so like to work around what works best for your pet Building has a fenced in courtyard and a community garden on the corner. There's a couple of cats and dogs in the building but for our apartment unit, your pets would be the only ones (they'll have my undivided attention <3) There is also a dog park about 15 min walking and another green space garden 10 min walking.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 15 years old. My mom is vet so I have taken care of a bunch of her clients dogs. I have also taken care of a lot of my family friends dogs as well as my neighbors. I currently do not have a job outside of this so I will be able to be home with your pets full time including weekends. I live on a farm and have a big fenced yard so your dogs will have a bunch of yard space to run around. I have 1 very friendly dog so your dog will have another one to play with. I have big and small crates if your dog needs to be crated for whatever reason. My mom is also a vet and will be home with me in case your dog has any sort of emergency.

About: I worked at a vet clinic for a couple of years. I also worked at a dog training facility for a year. I know it’s hard to leave your fur baby behind but I can promise you that they will be safe and definitely loved! I just had a baby and not able to work in the moment. So I’m up early in the morning and up late at night so I’m very flexible! Well I will have to have my baby with me ( just a warning). But I normally treat them as my own. I will walk them every 2-3 hours then I’m there. If the owner has any schedule I follow the schedule or any instructions. I do normally send pictures and videos of the fur baby to the owner and keep them updated with everything.

About: Hi my name is Passion! Caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s apart of who I am. I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life, from dogs and cats to the occasional rat or fish tank adventure. Growing up in a home full of furry (and sometimes feathery) friends taught me compassion, responsibility, and how to read animals’ unique personalities and needs. I’ve volunteered at the Atlanta Humane Society for over 6 months, where I gained hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments in addition to Lifeline Animal Shelter. I also previously worked at PetSmart helping pet parents find everything from the right nutrition to the perfect toy. To top it all off, my mom owns a dog grooming business as well!—so professional pet care has been part of my daily life for as long as I can remember. We also previously owned and operated a dog-treat business where we were successful in getting shelving writhing boutique pet care retailers. Whether it’s a long walk (I think I may love getting my steps in even more than our friends with four legs haha), a cuddle session, or reliable overnight care, your pets will be in safe, loving, and experienced hands with me. I treat every pet like family—and I mean that furrrreal! Bonus: My partner is a Veterinary Technician! I work a hybrid work schedule so I am grateful for the privilege of flexibility and tailoring my schedule around any personal needs or additional assistance that I provide. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I work from home in a calm, quiet environmentally, I’m able to provide constant supervision and personalized care throughout the day. I carefully monitor each pet’s behavior, ensure they have a secure and stress-free space, and tailor their routine to their unique needs. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, administering medication, or keeping walks controlled and safe, I make sure every detail is handled with attention and love.

About: I believe animals are more intelligent than humans, even if they chase their own tails. My dog, Maggie, was 14 when she crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Being a mom to that sweet dog was one of the greatest gifts of my life. College taught me a lot, but she taught me more. Love sure does wag. As a sitter, I knew I wanted to provide families with the same quality of care Maggie received throughout her life. For me, it isn't about the quantity of sitting, but the community building and connections fostered. Stories matter in finding the right fit. I've taken care of puppies, elders, and animals requiring meds. I've sat for extended periods of time as individuals traveled all over the world. I'm often found in the woods hiking and love if your pet likes to be active. If they don't, I'll also gladly share a couch and blanket with them. I know the struggle that comes with wanting to feel secure while away. Through the years, I have been determined to give owners peace of mind so they can enjoy their adventures. I do overnight stays, morning and evening care, and weekend mid-day. Extended periods (I've sat up to five weeks) is also part of my regular schedules. I treat homes as my own. I'm neat by nature and believe in respecting others spaces, rules, and routines. You'll hardly know I was there.

About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of on a daily basis ranging from 2 months old to 2 years old. I have an American Eskimo, Border Collie/Shih Tzu Mix, and Miniature Goldendoodle. I love playing with my dogs as well as taking them on walks throughout the neighborhood! I currently work in office and am available to drop by twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I am typically at home enjoying my evening if I’m not at work! I can take your dog(s) on walks and/or dog parks. I can visit often to let them out to play in the backyard and to feed him/her.

Haylee was amazing! She was thorough in all of her check-ins with so many amazing pictures and updates! She was very communicative and went above and beyond with so many walks, brushes and cuddles with our dog and cat. We would rebook!

Haylee helped us over the weekend sitting our 10-year-old Akita, Cece, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was always prompt, on time, and very responsive throughout the entire stay. Cece bonded with her so well, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear Haylee genuinely cares for animals and treats them like her own. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Auraria

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Auraria is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $100 per night. 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 901 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Auraria. 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 Auraria 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 Auraria 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 Auraria 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Auraria. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
