Your pet will get all the love and attention they deserve while you're away. I really enjoy getting to know your pets and feel honored to spend time with them. Well versed in senior care and separation anx. I work from home and am happy to accommodate your pets' needs and schedule. From visits to extended stays, I'm available to give your pet all the love they deserve while you're away. Lots of cuddles and love are a must. Happy to provide top-notch service for dogs and cats of all sizes in your home. Your pets will be spoiled and well-taken care of!
“Sarah was absolutely fantastic with our dog! She kept us updated throughout her stay with regular messages and plenty of photos, which gave us real peace of mind. Our dog can be a bit particular at times, but Sarah was incredibly patient, attentive, and clearly knew how to make him feel comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”
About: I strive to treat everyone's furbabies with the highest level of care as if they're my own. I've cared for every age of dog and cat for...really my whole life. I can administer medications and keep an eye on and assist more "special needs" furbabies if needed. I am a Biology major and try to learn as much as I can to care for animals the best I possibly can. I am currently working on animal first aid but I do know human FA so I can spot an emergency and care for minor wounds. I am currently working as needed at my job but, even then, my days are really open. I do have medical appointments here and there so sometimes I just need to leave the house for those but I try to return to the house expeditiously because I dont want the animals to be alone for too long. I understand not leaving dogs (especially) for too long between potty breaks so I can work around that but I try to stay at the house for 95+ percent of the time I am sitting. I purposely work around the animal's schedule so that they can be as comfortable and cared for as possible. I try to get as much information from the owner as possible so that I can make the time as similar to when the owner is around. I know changes can be stressful so avoiding any as much as possible is the best. I am known to be a cuddler but if they want their space I can definitely give it. I can give outside time to the best of my abilities and can transport in my own car with great safety if needed (e.g. if they love lake play, etc.). For younger animals, I can give regular care and make sure the space stays clean and cared for as best as possible. I understand that they need more supervision and help. I also try my best to keep an eye on outdoor heavy animals and shy animals to make sure theyre doing alright during my stay as well.
About: Hello! My name is Jake and I love animals. I am a graduate from CMC Veterinary Technology with experiences in clinics, non-profit animal shelters, and personal pets. I have worked with a wide variety of animals that range from small rodents, dogs, reptiles, cats, lifestock, to the crazy exotics. All of your pets are special and I am willing to take time with special care and needs such as walks, food, medications, fluids, etc. I love getting photos and videos of your pets enjoying themselves and enjoy putting montages together. I am always happy and willing to go the extra mile in order for both owners and pets to be happy and comfortable. I am currently working a full time job from 3-11 am 6x a week, this gives me nearly most days & nights to care for pets afterwards I will give any animal 100% of my attention and love. I will respect any boundary placed by the owners and the animals. I will stay and only do what I'm there to do, unless owners have asked for more such as deep-cleaning, trash, dishes, etc.
“We just moved to Grand Junction, so finding a new sitter is always a little nerve-racking. Karen is amazing. About five days before our trip, our dog came into heat and she handled it like a pro. Our cat is a bit mischievous, and she also took that in stride with lots of laughs. I will most definitely rebook her for any travel I have to do at anytime I need a dog Walker as she is so wonderful with my animals.”
About: I’ve been caring for fur babies since I graduated high school, giving both puppies and senior dogs the special attention they need. I love animals of every shape and size and treat them like my own—because let’s be honest, they run the household anyway. Your pet will get a happy, stress-free stay with plenty of love, snuggles, and top-tier spoiling. I work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for drop-ins and visits in the late afternoons and evenings. I’m also free all day on Sundays, as well as one select weekday depending on my schedule. If you communicate your needs ahead of time, I’ll always do my best to make it happen. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I come to your home so your pet can stay in their favorite place, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. I follow your instructions carefully and keep your home secure, tidy, and respected. You’ll always get clear updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: Years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I provide dependable in-home care, following your pet’s routine for comfort, safety, and happiness. I work full-time (9–5) and from home one day a week, which gives me flexibility. With my schedule I'm able to accomodate morning and evening walks, feedings, and playtime in the evenings (and lunch time when I WFH). My weekends are free, letting me spend more quality time with pets while owners are away. I care for pets in their own home, so they stay comfortable and relaxed in a familiar setting. I follow your care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always ensure your home is respected and secure. Pets get plenty of love, attention, and supervision every visit.
About: As a career animal welfare professional, I'm ready to bring my decades of experience in animal care, veterinary care and animal handling to you and your home to ensure you have total peace of mind and your pets are cared for and safe while you're away. My entire professional career has been in the animal welfare field. I've worked as a cruelty investigator in both major metropolitan as well as rural agricultural regions. I've worked on farm animal sanctuaries as well as in city shelters. I'm still very involved in animal rescue through disaster response as well as large scale animal cruelty case deployments. Currently, I work for/co-founded an organization which provides low-cost veterinary care services to underserved areas in the region. As someone who utilizes Rover heavily for pet sitting services while traveling for work, I know just how important it is to have a service like this available as well as what a trusting, reliable sitter can do for peace of mind while out of town and away from you pets. I currently work from home (when not traveling for work) which allows me to devote full days to pet care while sitting nearby in my home office. I have a large, fully fenced yard. Your dogs will be able to spend as much, or as little, time outside as they desire. I have two resident dogs who are very welcoming of all four-legged (and two-legged) visitors and will be more than happy to share all their favorite toys and most comfortable spots on the couch.
“Caitlin took wonderful care of our dog in our home while we were away. We received updates and photos and came home to a happy pup and clean house! We would recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
About: I come from a dog loving family with lots of experience in caring for all dogs especially those with high needs/ requirements. I have also fostered many cats and have been described by friends and family as deeply compassionate. I am currently available full time for pet care needs including overnight sitting as needed. I have a very flexible schedule allowing me to be in client’s homes as frequently as needed. I am also available most weekends. As an organized person I am very attentive to closing doors, following routines, and closely monitoring animals when visiting in others’ homes. I have a background in early childcare which helps me be aware of my surroundings and what to look for to ensure the safety of those in my care.
“Kat, watched our cat for two weeks while we were on a trip. She took great care of him and sent us messages about how he was doing while we were away. She left the house in excellent shape after staying there for the duration. She is easy to work with and responds quickly. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10, I have watched all sorts of dogs, from family to friends to coworkers, and neighbors even:) I’m currently working for a second job but I always make sure that my animal care come first, I try to reason with my clients if change happens. I always try to make sure my dogs and cats stay occupied with toys and treats and walks making sure that they are always fed 2 time a day
“Stacy is amazing - she kept our pups happy and in their routine while we were away & continually provided us with regular picture and text updates! Her dog is a sweetheart and she did a wonderful job of caring for our home. We are so glad to have found Stacy for this trip and for future travels!”
About: I’ve been caring for my own pets for over 5 years and have a genuine love for all dogs and cats. I’m reliable, organized, and have strong time-management skills, developed through years of playing collegiate and club softball. I’m committed to providing attentive, loving care for every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule as I am now home from college. I enjoy spending time with animals. I can provide regular walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I am organized, dependable, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine and providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. In a client’s home, I respect their space, follow all instructions carefully, and ensure pets have fresh water, meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I prioritize safety during walks and playtime, monitor pets closely, and keep owners updated so they can feel confident their pets are well cared for.
About: I have grown up with always having animals around. I have lived on multiple farms, and have volunteered with several animal sanctuaries, including one for wildlife in Costa Rica. I also have spent the last five years fostering animals with the Humane society as I lived in Asheville and completed my schooling. Through this experience, I have worked with neonatal newborns, pregnant and nursing mothers, potty training- ages, senior pets, and those who take medication. As I create this account, I am traveling and petsitting on the road. My schedule is very flexible because of this, and so I am open to long or short stays. Every animal is unique, and I love to get to know their personalities and preferences! It is my goal to ensure that animal and animal parent both are happy and comfortable.
About: For 8 years in Colorado, 3 years in Washington, 2 years in Oklahoma and 1 in Hawaii; I enjoyed forming relationships with an extensive list of clients and their pets. I am searching to create another loyal list for the West Slope. I offer house sitting, day care, drop-in visits and walks. Rates are negotiable based on your situation. All energy levels are welcomed! I am trained in K-9 CPR and skilled in reading behavior. What's important to me is that your family and home are loved while you are away. A strong, clean referral history is available to any prospective client. I have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule at United Airlines to better serve your needs. I am employed full-time with United Airlines, but I am easily able to drop my workdays to stay with your pet and cater to them. We have a fully fenced backyard great for fetch or sunbathing. At your house I am happy to keep the yard clear of messes and have the most respect for your home cleaning up after myself as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Battlement Mesa on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 29 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Battlement Mesa. 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 Battlement Mesa 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 Battlement Mesa 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 Battlement Mesa 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
