“Natalie was amazing with our two boys! She kept us updated with messages, pictures, and videos. The boys took to her immediately. We will definitely use Natalie again!”
“Aimee was great with Olive and had to deal with some late night potty breaks She kept us updated and we appreciated that she was available last minute. She left our house clean and tidy”
“Steve is an amazing pet sitter!! This is my second time having Steve pet and housesit, and I will absolutely be using him many times in the future! My German Shepherd is 1.5 y/o and she can be a lot of work. She’s very energetic, and loves to play and be outside. Steve took her on so many adventures and sent me photos from all of them! He applied all of the guidance I gave him for working with her, and also is just so natural with dogs of all kinds, so my pup felt super comfortable with him throughout the whole stay. I think she was bummed when I walked in the door returning from my trip and not Steve! He’s great communicating throughout, sending photos and videos, and giving her tons of attention, walks and fun. I had so much peace of mind being away from my pup, knowing Steve was with her. He also took great care of the house and it was clean/spotless when I got home. I can’t recommend Steve enough! Thanks again, Steve!”
“Ken was awesome! Our boy Gunnar was obviously well taken care and the house was cleaner than when we left it. Ken dropped by a couple of days after house/dog sitting for us and Gunnar was beside himself. Friends for life. We won't use anyone else. We highly recommend Ken, just not when we need him:)”
“I am so happy I chose Jamie to care for my pets. She did a great job dealing with all my animals and their individual needs. Everyone was healthy and happy when I got home, I would definitely trust her with my babies again :)”
“Ben was an absolute treasure to Sushi and the rest of our family! We had to leave town with little notice for a celebration of life and Ben stepped in and treated our dog, Sushi, like family. He updated us daily with pictures, which allowed us to focus on what was necessary. Thank you, Ben! We appreciate you!!”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and I wish to continue interacting with them. My childhood dog, Sarge, recently passed away and dog walking and dog sitting allows me to continue my relationship with these animals. I’m working a variety of odd jobs in addition to my job at Colorado Learning Connections, as I am looking to supplement my income and save up for graduate school! I have over four years of experience talking care of dogs and I am eager to ensure not only their safety (and the safety of your home) but for their comfort.
“Tara, did a great job. We were sent updates frequently with photos of the pups and cats. Dogs were walked and got to enjoy life at home thanks to Tara. Tara always was always to respond quickly with our questions and concerns. It is a great feeling to be able to leave your family and know they are in great hands.”
About: I have had pets such as cats and dogs since I was a child. I have also worked with cows, goats, sheep, and horses. I love all four legged creatures and also love hiking, swimming, and traveling with my pets. I am currently working part-time in Breckenridge. I usually work 12-4 Thursday through Sunday. Currently available during mud season and am very flexible. I am pretty flexible usually and can take last minute bookings in the Breckenridge area. I am available for overnight stays if I can bring my senior dog who gets along with all dogs but not cats. I am available for day walking and drop-in visits if you are visiting the Breckenridge area during the summer and winter months and need someone to care for your fur children. I prefer to stay within 3-5 miles of Breckenridge town. I can walk, feed, or let your pets out during the day if you are here for a short or long vacation, depending on the situation.

FAQs for House Sitting - Blue River
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Blue River on Rover is $48.84 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 305 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Blue River. 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 Blue River 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 Blue River 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 Blue River 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 Blue River. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
