About: Hi! I'm Kaile (Ki-la), or Auntie K, a born and raised Colorado mountain girl who moved back from Hawai’i where I dog sat full time for years. I moved back to Colorado to work as a social worker and working part time so the rest of my time is available to give your fur babies the best experience possible! I specialize in pups that need extra attention. Whether they need to be around people all day because of temperament or separation anxiety, if they have problems being around other dogs, perhaps they're shy and skittish, or maybe they have other behavior problems, or whatever other special needs your furry family members have needs, my background working for the human society and working with traumatized rescue dogs and special needs little humans in preschool. Give me the knowledge, temperament and experience to ensure the best experience for your pups. Those dogs are what I'm here for. I base my scheduling and pricing on having one pup with me at a time (unless they're "sibling" dogs from the same ohana), and if there's an occasion for overlap with another dog it will only be if I've notified you beforehand and gotten your permission. Please also keep that in mind when you're comparing prices and other dog sitters, while possibly having a yard and all of whom are amazing, offer services for multiple, often up to 7 dogs, at the same time. WHAT YOUR PUPS DAY WITH ME WILL BE LIKE I might not have a yard but we're right on the river as well as connected to a great walking trail system. I am at home all day every day, so I'm available for unlimited walks, hikes, potty breaks, whatever your pup needs. From the time you drop them off to the time you pick them up, I can guarantee I will be with them the entire time, playing ganes, going on walks or hikes, working on basic training, curled up on the couch for a nap or hanging out in the kitchen together as I cook dinner, feeding your pup in the kitchen so they're eating with me and my dad. ALL DAY ONE ON ONE EXPERIENCE! I will never leave your dog alone in my home, even if they are boarding over night. Many other area dog sitters work outside full time jobs, or are out of the house with their children for a good part of the day. They might require crate training, or will put your dog inside and be home only every 4-8 hours for a few short minutes for a quick shishi and water break. Would you pay for your toddler to be babysat all day with a family that, like yourself, works outside their home all day? Where they would leave your child in a locked room except for being let out twice a day for no longer than a potty and snack break? Why would you want the same for your fur baby? A DOG SITTING EXPERIENCE THAT'S LIKE A BABYSITTING/NANNY EXPERIENCE INSTEAD OF A GLORIFIED HOME BASED KENNEL I don't have children living with me and currently I don't have my own dogs with me. When you dog is here with me, they're with me the entire time and I treat them exactly like they're my own fur babies. Starting at the end of August I will be taking FT classes at UH Manoa for my first of two years in their masters in social work program. Luckily 4 out of my 5 classes are online. Monday is the only day I will not be available because I will be on campus. Otherwise at least until January I will be available Tuesday through Sunday. Your pup's safety is my top priority. I live in a 7th floor condo with my father in Ko Olina. We have one lanai with sliding glass doors. I have an extra fence that I put up when I have tiny pups to keep them safe. We have one wide open room for the kitchen and living room so your dogs will always be in my sight even if I'm not directly interacting with them. I don't let any dog leave my front door without their collar and leash, and if they have one their harness. I go on lots of walks and adventures, even occasional runs and hikes depending on the dog and 'ohana wishes but I will never take them off leash. There is a dog park in Ewa that provides a secure off leash area. Its not somewhere I go often but with one of my regular pups, their parents okayed taking him there. I will only utilize this option after first speaking with you and getting your okay. I will only take one dog at a time (two if they're the same ohana) and always be with them. I know with COVID winding down socialization is a concern of many of our dog ohanas. I will sometimes have more than one dog staying with me. Most commonly its for an ohana with two pups. The other times they're dogs from two of my regular clients. I never have a new dog at the same time as another, even a regular. I like to spend time bonding with your pup and getting to know their personality and how they interact with other dogs. If they do well I will ask you if you're okay with your pup having playtime with another dog I know. Two of my regular pups are now BFF! Especially after COVID many puppy parents are concerned about their furry family member being socialized correctly. This is my aim whenever I have more than one dog. I never have more than one or two more, and I make it a point to provide even more direct interaction to help your dogs learn to or continue to socialize with their puppy friends in the safest and healthiest way possible! I have worked at the humane society in Colorado and volunteered in multiple shelters. I have basic dog and cat first aid training.

“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our puppies! She was very responsive and was able to help us out on very short notice. She stayed at our place and was kind enough to come by a couple of days beforehand to meet the dogs and learn the setup of our home. We felt completely comfortable leaving our pups in her care. We would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring sitter for their furry friends! 🐶❤️”

About: I grew up around many dogs, big (my own dog Woody is a 12 year old fox red lab) and small (my other dog Juniper is a 2 year old dachshund), and I’m super comfortable around them. I’ve also dog and cat sat for neighbors and family since I could drive! Having just moved out here, I miss spending time with dogs and would love to meet some new ones :) I am currently working full time as a naturalist at Walking Mountains, but my schedule varies and allows for more flexibility week to week. I am mostly available first thing in the morning, late afternoon into the evening, and for overnights because I have a car! Dogs need lots of love and attention, and I always make sure to give it! Back at home, my dachshund Juniper requires going out regularly and lots of affection, and my lab Woody requires lots of exercise and play, so I am used to caring for dogs with different needs.

About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have experience watching neighbors’ and friends’ pets. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I’m used to regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets attention throughout the day. With my active lifestyle, I enjoy spending time outside and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise and care. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for by sticking to their normal routines as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions carefully while keeping the space clean and respectful. I give pets lots of attention, exercise, and companionship so they feel relaxed while their owners are away.

About: Hi! I’m Kiyah 🐾 I’ve lived in the Vail Valley for 8+ years and absolutely love spending time with animals. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and dog sitting has become something I genuinely enjoy doing. I have lots of experience dog sitting and house sitting, primarily for homeowners in Beaver Creek, Vail, and Bachelor Gulch. I’m very comfortable staying in their homes while they’re away and making sure their dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their normal routine. I’m the kind of person who will happily spend extra time on a walk, play outside, give lots of cuddles, or just hang out with your pup on the couch. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, clean, trustworthy, and communicative, and I’ll treat your home and your pets like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🤍 I work full-time during the day, so my pet care fits best around my work schedule. I’m available most evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays. For house sitting, I’m comfortable staying in your home and keeping your pets on their normal routine while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and make sure they get the attention, walks, playtime, and care they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well! 🐾 Your pets aren’t just a job to me — I genuinely love getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very respectful of your home and your pets routines. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or drop in visit, or staying overnight in your home, I’ll make sure your pets get the attention and care they’re used to. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, give plenty of playtime and cuddles, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ve spent lots of time caring for pets and staying in clients homes throughout Beaver Creek, Vail, and Bachelor Gulch, so I understand the trust that comes with having someone care for both your pets and your home. I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have for mine, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and little checkins so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands.

About: I had my whole life dogs and I had the last 15 years taking care about my own dogs. I love to walk them and since I have not anymore my own dogs I love to help other people out to taking care there dogs. Dogs makes me always happy and I’m always feeling so grateful when I know a dog doesn’t has to be alone at home and can meet some new friends I’m available during the week every time I’m just working part-time on weekends. So I’m flexible on weeks. And I missed the walks so much with my dogs and I would love to hang out again with some dogs and helping humans when they have short time for her dogs I like to play and walking with the dogs but also I like to cuddle the dogs if they like it or they are really needy. Feeding for sure and I can also give them bath if they need and if the customer wanted and helps them out

About: Kaylie grew up in a busy, animal-filled home—surrounded by everything from dogs and cats to bunnies and guinea pigs. Axel grew up with dogs and cats of his own. While we don't have any fur babies of our own currently, we loveee animals! We've spent the last few years pet-sitting in people's homes through other platforms to get our "furry fix." We currently maintain a 5-star rating with glowing reviews from our previous house and pet sits, and we'd be more than happy to share those details with you! Your pet will have plenty of company here! Axel and I both work remotely, so someone is always home to provide attention and companionship throughout the work day. We love to stay active and naturally break up our tasks with frequent walks. Whether your dog prefers a gentle stroll or a more rigorous hike, we’re happy to tailor our activity level to their needs—including longer adventures after the work day is done. We are located right on the Eagle Valley bike path, which serves as our massive "extended backyard!" While we don't have a fenced yard, our active lifestyle means your dog will never be bored with multiple dedicated outings throughout the day tailored to their energy level.. We specialize in "on-the-go" care, taking full advantage of the nearby paths, hiking trails, and park for long walks, fetch sessions, and fresh air. Your pet will enjoy a fun stay with constant companionship and plenty of variety.

FAQs for House Sitting - Avon

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Avon on Rover is $70 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $132 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 313 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avon. 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 Avon 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 Avon 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Avon 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.
