“Kenna was awesome. We were only out of town for a day but Kenna communicated great. Our fur babies were well taken care of while we were gone which ultimately made us more relaxed as we care about them a lot. We would and will use Kenna again. Thank you Kenna”
“Amy was great! Was super flexible with timing and took great care of Aphra. Aphra usually has bad separation anxiety when I leave but apparently calmed right down with Amy :) Would definitely recommend, thank you Amy!”
“Matt did a great job taking care of our dogs and home. He kept us up to date daily with pictures and texts how the dogs were doing. He was also very responsive to is as well. When we got home, the dogs were happy and well taken care of. We already rebooked Matt for our next trip. I highly recommend.”
About: I’m a self‑employed professional with plenty of time, energy, and love to give your pets. Throughout my life I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, and a variety of other animals, and I truly miss having warm, affectionate companions around — even part‑time. I’m extremely responsible, flexible with scheduling, and committed to providing attentive, loving care for both your pets and your home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just cozy cuddle sessions, I’m here to make sure your furry family members feel safe and adored while you’re away. I drive a mid‑size SUV, so transportation for both small and larger dogs is never an issue. I’d love to support you and your beloved pets however I can. Thank you for considering me! I am self-employed and make my own schedule. I have no children and plenty of free time and I adore all animals. Horses, birds etc... I am extremely responsible and happy to care for your pets in your home. I also have horse care experience if needed. I love animals.
“Highly recommend Thora! She took such good care of Bree and kept us updated with photos the whole time. She’s super reliable, always responds to texts fast, and even gave Bree some extra long walks. Will definitely book her again.”
“Evelina was the best! I wouldn’t want to hire anyone else to watch our pups. She has great communication and gives the dogs love that they deserve!! HIGHLY recommend!! She treats your pets just like they’re her own. 🤍”
“Danielle is a treasure. She took excellent care of our dogs and home while we were away. We could not be happier! Leaving our beloved pups, after not traveling for a few years, was hard. She sent us photos and checked in with us all the time. Our AC broke the night before we left. She was so gracious about being in a home with a fan, instead of AC, until it could be fixed a few days later. We are very thankful for her.”
“We are so glad that Shelly was our house/dog /cat sitter while we took a 2 week vacation. Preparing for our trip, Shelly met with us several times to get to know us, our home, and our pets. While we were out of the country she stayed in daily contract with us, sending pictures to let us know that Ginger and Timmy were being well cared for. On our return, the house was clean, plants and yard were cared for, and our animals were super happy. Thank you Shelly for making our vacation a bit more carefree.”
About: I am a trained Veterinary Tech Assistant that worked in animal rescue / spay & neuter clinic. I also previously worked in a small, local pet store where I became educated and extremely fascinated with pet health and animal nutrition! I absolutely love spoiling and spending time with all critters, so please do me a favor and give me a call! I am very flexible, and will also admit that my dog eats WAY better than I do, so I’ll be sure to accommodate any of your best friends needs!! I am a stay at home mom, and I have a very flexible schedule. My rates are lower than most in the area as I am not able to do overnights in your home, and full disclosure - there’s a chance one of my kids might need to tag along with me during drop ins. I enjoy being outdoors rain (more likely snow) or shine, and I’ll be keeping the dogs company for a game of fetch or some belly rubs in the yard. I have a large un-fenced yard, and a comfortable indoor area for dogs to play or unwind. I can easily accommodate space for a crate if your pup has their own.
“This is the second time we have had Kaya watch our poodle, she was very relaxed when we got home, and house was as we left better than we left it. Would have her watch Anya again.”
“Dana took excellent care of my girl. She communicated well throughout. It was clear Ellie was loved and well cared for in my absence. I will definitely use her again in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berthoud
Hannah is amazing! She is just a sweet, attentive, and wonderful person and it shows through the care she gave our dog and apartment. We returned home to an apartment that was cleaner than when we left and a dog that was happy and content. Olive is still in her training era and upon our return, it’s clear that Olive’s training was a priority and she has been soo good on walks and engaging with her commands. It is such a relief to know that even in our absence, Olive received the training and love she needs! We received daily updates and so many pictures that we felt close to Olive even being half way across the country from her. 10/10 would recommend, you won’t be disappointed when booking with Hannah!

The average cost of House Sitting in Berthoud is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $100 per night.

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 Berthoud 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 Berthoud 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 Berthoud 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.
