“My elderly cat has major separation anxiety and is usually a basket case when I return home from a trip. Brittainy and Jason were here for 2 weeks, and I returned home to a happy and healthy cat. They took excellent care of my home and my baby. Even my plants looked better than when I left. Thank you Brittainy and Jason.”
“Everything went great, Willow and Zoey were taken care of very well. They were happy on our return. The house was looked after and everything went great. As in the past, we were able to complete our trip with no worries thanks to Ayla and Han.”
About: I am a huge fan of positive reinforcement training and have spent the last 10 years caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages; including anxious and reactive dogs who need a little bit of extra love and patience. I’m currently a 33 year old graduate student at CU Boulder who currently does not own a dog; so I would love to be given the opportunity to love on and snuggle yours! I love to play with, care for, and love on any and all dogs no matter their shape, size, age, or needs. I have experience with administering topical medications, pills, and injections and am willing and able to go for runs, rides, walks, or playtimes. Call me if you want a reliable and dependable adult with personal transportation who is always up for a challenge or just low key hang outs! I’m also lgbtqia+ friendly and get along with people and dogs of all ages. I currently work as a bike mechanic part time in Boulder Colorado from 10-6 most days of the week. I can carve out mornings from 7-9am and evenings after 7pm in Golden or Boulder with additional short opportunities for check ins or 30 minute walks mid day in Boulder. My experience with making sure dogs needs are met in a safe and comfortable way comes from the training methods of positive reinforcement. I have no problem creating structures, setting boundaries, or respecting your routines and structures. Positive reinforcement training has been wonderful (albeit a longer process sometimes) for the dogs I have cared for in supporting their mental and emotional health. I do not currently watch dogs in my own home but am very comfortable with house/dog sitting in yours or taking your furry friend to the trails, streets, or their favorite places.
“Taylor was amazing! Our dog was happy and healthy and our house was spotless when we got home. We have a high anxiety dog and we were without phone service but felt very comfortable leaving Tito in Taylor’s care. He went above and beyond and sent many photos for when we were back with reception. Would rebook!”
“Aurelia was just amazing! She took such great care of our pup, communicated with us the whole time, and left our house so clean. We are so happy we went with her to watch our pup and can’t thank her enough!”
“Billie has been our go to for our fur babies. They adore her and are spoiled and comfortable when we are gone. Pretty soon they won't care when we come home! Thanks again, as always for taking such great care.”
“Brittany was amazing with our dog Pepper. He is a super shy dog, but even so, he grew to love her in his short time with her. She took him on frequent walks and she sent us great pictures. I could tell he was happy, healthy, and properly cared for. I will absolutely use her in the future!”
About: I have had pets all my life. I currently have my dog Mr.Darcy (2 years old) who I'm actively training and my lovely cat Lucifur. I live with conures and I also frequently watch my sisters miniature zoo which includes dogs, reptiles, amphibians, fish, bugs, ducks & chickens. & I enjoy saving stray animals whenever I get the chance I'm an artist who's new to Denver looking to care for critters most of my time. High maintenance / energetic dogs are preferred but I truly love all animals. It's extremely important to me to listen when pets communicate. Dog language and behavior is something I spend most of my time researching just for fun.
“Casey is wonderful. She took care of my dog in my house was always consistent with checking back in making sure I knew that everything was going smoothly. Really appreciate it. Can’t wait to book her again.”
“Coy was awesome. Our pups can be a handful but he did great with them and stayed in communication with us which made leaving them so much easier. He is definitely going to be our go to sitter/dog walker.”
“Kathryn did an amazing job housesitting our puppy and two cats. We came back to very happy pets and a well-cared for house. She did a great job with our puppy, who is, well a puppy and can be a handful. They went on lots of long walks and Kat worked on keeping Dottie on track with her training program. The kitties had plenty of love and attention while we were away too. We really appreciated the frequent photos and updates. I would highly recommend Kathryn- she was incredibly responsible, responsive, and treated our fur kids like her own.”
“Moriah took great care of our senior shih-tzu in our home. When we returned from our trip, our home was as clean and tidy as we left it and our pup seemed content. We would not hesitate having Moriah house and dog sit for us again if needed in the future.”
About: I have Grown up with cats indoor and outdoor. With dogs as well and had plenty of experiences with medication and special care for them.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was born. Growing up I wanted to be a vet. Although , that didn’t happen I still adore animals. I’ve bottle fed puppies, bathed neighborhood dogs and always cared for the strays around. My love for animals is eternal I am currently a part time hairstylist, looking to fill my days that I have empty with something fulfilling. With that being said I have Sundays available and throughout the week I have all evenings open and random days completely available I have a fenced off front and back yard. No longer have a dog of my own, family pup is no longer with us. So , I have open space and tons of love to give.
“This was the first time we used Rover for a house sitting. We were initially very nervous about having a stranger not only stay in our home, but also watch and care for Bernie. We were anxious that a sitter wouldn't care for Bernie in the way we wanted/needed and what she has come to expect. From the first message, Garrett was very responsive, which was greatly appreciated. It was clear he made a massive effort with Bernie. Usually uncertain around new people, she was comfortable with Garrett. After the meet and greet, we felt better about leaving her for this trip. Garrett was communicative, constantly sending us videos and photos of Bernie doing her favorite activities. Bernie is very cautious to warm up, but from the videos and photos he sent, I could tell that she was very comfortable. He tucked her under the blankets, supplied her with tons of belly rubs, played chase, and went on lots of interesting walks. When we returned from our trip, we were pleased to find the house in incredible shape. The bed was stripped, trash was taken out, and everything was clean. Overall, this was a very positive experience, and we will be working with Garrett again!”

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 Bailey 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 Bailey 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 Bailey 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
