“Moriah was amazing! She was so communicative and our fur babies looked like they were having a blast in every pic update 😊 we truly appreciated how she left our place so clean and respected our home and needs for the stay!”
“Lindsey was absolutely wonderful. She truly bonded with our dogs and gave them loving, attentive care throughout her stay. We could tell she paid close attention to their individual needs and treated them as if they were her own. When we returned, the house was in excellent condition and everything had been well cared for. It was a great experience from start to finish, and we will definitely be using Lindsey again many times in the future.”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies!! Our dogs don’t normally love new people, but they loved Michael! He is so gentle and loving toward any dog. Additionally, he gave us daily updates with pictures and kept us in the loop with everything while he house sat for us. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIM AGAIN!!”
“Lilou was great! From our initial meet and greet and making sure she was comfortable staying at our apartment , to a second visit where we walked the dogs and showed her around the neighborhood so she was sure how to get in and out of our building. We felt very comfortable and confident with her taking care of our boys since she has dogs of her own and lots of experience sitting other dogs. She sent us updates and pictures which we appreciated very much. She had no issues with our dogs which was great. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would love to have her again in the future. Thanks Lilou!”
“Aurelia was patient with our anxious pup. She took her for walks and stayed in communication with us all night. She did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Taylor sent us photos of every feeding and walk to keep us updated. He stayed with the pups until we landed back in Denver, even with a flight delay. He left the house clean, too. Would recommend!”
About: Hi! I love dog sitting, and I look forward giving your dog all the care, exercise, and attention they deserve while you are away. My dog Tommy and I love making new friends and we look forward to meeting your dog soon! I have had dogs for 10 years and have spent many years dog sitting on Rover and for friends as well as fostering dogs for animal rescue organizations. I love to go for walks and spend as much time with the dogs as possible. I can adapt to any exercise requirements your dog may have. I spent many hours training my dog as a puppy so I know how important maintaining good habits are. I am happy to maintain any structure you use at home for your dog and to maintain the training you have given them. My dog Tommy is half lab half golden. He is very friendly and likes to have friends around. Tommy and I offer house sitting in your home as well. He is very polite and good in the house! Please reach out with any questions you may have. I do require a meet and greet prior to booking. I take my dog for walks in the morning and evening with a bathroom break in the middle of the day. We also incorporate playing and training and sometimes walk on local trails or go for hikes. I abide by any rules your dog follows when they are with you. My dog is free to go anywhere in the house during the day (although he usually hangs out with me!), and he stays in my room while I am out of the house.
“Jennifer was great. Our first experience using Rover, on a holiday weekend, the night before we were supposed to leave. She was the first we contacted and the first to respond ! She sent pics of our pup regularly! Left the house clean and tidy”
“Katy stayed at our house while we were out of town for a week with our two dogs. She was fantastic at sending pics and keeping us updated on stuff at the house. Would 100% recommend!”
“Mitch was amazing!!! he took great care of my dog and cat and he showed a lot of flexibility to meet my needs as I was flying out early and flying home late. I greatly appreciate. Just having the faith that my two loved ones were taken care of so well. I will book him again at any time he’s available in the future thanks Mitch you’re awesome!”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“Brenna took incredible care of my fur family! She was super kind, clear, responsible, and communicative. My nervous dog clearly felt comfortable with her and she sent the best updates”
“We feel so grateful to have Ayla and Han as Archie's petsitter. They have become his favorite people! And we always confident and secure that he is loved and taken care of.”
“Carol is been one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had. She’s incredibly conscientious, responsible, responsive, a we felt that she really cared for our pups while she was away. When we got home, everything was in great order. She’ll be the first person I check with when planning future trips where we need care for our home and dogs!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Black Hawk
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Black Hawk on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 7,390 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Black Hawk. 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 Black Hawk 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 Black Hawk 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 Black Hawk 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 with handling special pet needs in Black Hawk. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
