“Excellent! This was the first time we used Rover. Holly was absolutely wonderful. She sent us a pic every day, with a little detail on how our Chloe was doing. She even brought over some tennis balls to play with. I had left very detailed instructions on how to care for Chloe—probably more than was necessary. Holly was very gracious and reassuring. Just a great experience.”
“Nicole did an amazing job taking care of my senior pup. She was incredibly communicative and flexible. I felt completely at ease while being away from home. I will definitely book with Nicole again!”
“Left just after power being restored to go on vacation and wasn’t sure if I should have even gone given my basement flooded. Kim did so much in trying to help that situation. Plus she made Butler beautiful with a nice bath and grooming. Provided him some playmates while I was gone too. AND cut and trimmed the grass after the giant growth spurt from all the rain. Really do appreciate all the work put in this week so I could be on vacation!!!!! Thank you thank you!”
“Emily was great with Daisy she was patient with her and gave me updates. My ole gal has her own schedule and Emily was great to understand it. Will definitely be calling her back if we need a sitter!”
“Katrina was right on time and Duke was well taken care of and sleepy from his walks after spending the afternoon together. Katrina did great with Duke’s stubborn bulldog ways and would definitely recommend her again!”
“Absolutely fantastic dog and house sitter. Super responsible, responsive, dependable, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog and home were in great hands while I was away. I would give her more than five stars if I could. Highly recommend!”
“Becca did an amazing job taking care of my three dogs while I was on vacation. My dogs loved her from when they first met her when she came by for a meet and greet. This was the first time having someone come to the house to watch them while I was gone and my mind was put to ease knowing they were in good hands. She also always responded quickly to my messages. I came home to happy and healthy dogs and my house was exactly as I left it!”
About: We have always had pets (Mostly Dogs) growing up and have never met a dog or cat that didn't like us. We are the type of people that animals (Fur Babies) just feel at ease with. From the smallest of toy and lap dogs to the much larger Great Danes and Mastiffs. We will always get along, even the dog that nobody can handle and scares them. My patients never wears thin and eventually all, even the most stubborn pet warms up to me. Any pet under our supervision will always be taken care of from walks, to alone time to calm their nerves if need be but NEVER neglected. We truly believe that your Dogs and/or Cats should and will be treated just you would. Thanks, Between my wife and I we are essentially available 24/7. And hope to accommodate any ones schedule. Our routine will be scheduled around whatever is needed We have a full half acre completely fenced in (Wooden privacy fence). And of course whatever it is you and your dogs like enjoy we will accommodate.
About: Grew up having a dog (or 2 at times…as well as bunnies…and some other reptiles!). I currently live in an accommodation where I am not able to have a pet and I have become to miss animals more and more! There is no such thing as a bad animal, only a poorly trained one, and I treat them all with love and care. I’m available every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day (and night)! My schedule can be as free as needed on those days and I am open to spending lots of time with your pets to make sure they get the best care possible! I am very careful and thoughtful around pets and other people’s property. I will treat your belongings and animals with the utmost respect and care.
“David did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and dog. He sent pictures daily, and was attentive to our cat who his shy around new people. Would definietly recommend, and we have already rebooked !”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid. It was a side job for me to make money for extra activities. I would watch neighbors, families, and the communities fur babies I try to be pretty flexible with schedules, I do have a full time job to also keep in mind. So, just let me know what works for you and we can work something out! I care for your fur babies in your home like I would a child or my fur baby. I offer whatever services that makes you comfortable!
“Samantha was very caring and sweet with Maddie and took good care of her when we went on an overnight hiking trip. She was quick to send pictures of their walk and snuggle time on the couch, and made sure she was walked and taken care of in the morning before leaving. She even checked in with us again when we didn't respond for a while because we were out of cell range, just to make sure we got back to Maddie ok. Thanks for your help Samantha, your new friend will miss you ❤️🐶”
About: I’ve provided dedicated care for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, (Sun Conure, Leopard Gecko) and many more. I offer a highly flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs throughout the week. My days are built around giving animals regular attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that animals thrive best in familiar environments, surrounded by their usual sights and smells. I strictly stick to your schedule for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and walks.
“This is the second time that Johnathan has housesat for us and watched our puppy Ollie. Ollie loved him, and he kept us updated with messages and pictures. We definitely recommend him!”
“Grace took great care of our cats. She took lots of really nice pictures and sent them to us and was super responsive whenever I had a question about anything. She left the house in great condition as well. I would highly recommend her for your kitties.”
About: Hello! My name is Sam and I am a part time student who is studying biology, and when I’m not studying I’m a vet assistant working in Boulder! I can do everything from administer medication to belly rubs. I love pets and have two dogs of my own, and just recently moved to Boulder and love the area. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks! I currently have a very open schedule, so your pets needs would be very prioritized throughout the day/night depending on the service I will be giving your pet! When caring for pets in a clients home it is very important to me to provide them with their proper food and water, regular exercise and playtime with them, plus any medication that needs to be administered if needed. It is also important to me that the veterinarians phone number would be given when staying overnight in case of an emergency.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is that I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child. I’ve cared for and loved my dog Maya for 5 years and my cat Sombra for 7 years. I also have turtles, and in the past I’ve had parrots and chickens. For me, this is not just a job — it’s a passion that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Pet care is naturally part of my daily routine because I’ve always lived with animals. I make sure they have fresh food and water every day, give them time for walks or play, and check on their well-being. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time to cleaning their spaces, grooming if needed, and making sure they feel loved and safe. Unfortunately, my pets are currently in Honduras, but in the future we’ll be reunited. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully to maintain their routine and make them feel comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, daily exercise or playtime, regular check-ins, and lots of affection. I also keep their space clean and safe, and give them extra attention to reduce stress while their owners are away. My goal is to make pets feel as loved and cared for as they do when their family is home.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Babcock is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Babcock
This girl is amazing! We left Tuesday morning. Julie showed up on time as expected and about 30 minutes later an historic storm hit. The power went out and at our house that means no water or septic either. Julie spent the last 5 days at our house with our pups not missing a beat. She kept a positive attitude the entire time and frankly handled the situation better than I would have. She offered to removed spoiled food from fridge and came up with work arounds to make it all work. We cannot recommend her enough. Oh and one of our dogs is very anxious and she somehow gains his trust quickly every time. Thank you Julie!
Laylani did an amazing job caring for our pets while we were on vacation! Our family flaked on us, and Laylani made what could have been a stressful situation super easy from the start (before we even left!) Her communication was excellent! She gave us daily updates, many with pictures. We knew our pets were in great hands while we were gone! She also saved us from potential disaster when our return flight was canceled last minute! We really can’t say enough good things about Laylani, and would recommend her to anyone!
Lexi was absolutely wonderful! She watched our two dogs and two cats for a full week, and we couldn't be happier. Not only were the animals happy and healthy when we returned, but she also kept the house incredibly tidy. It was such a treat to come home to a clean space and relaxed pets. She kept us updated and was sure to send cute pictures of everyone all week. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Babcock is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 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.

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 Babcock 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 Babcock 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 Babcock 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.

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.
