“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!”
“This was our first time doing house sitting via Rover and it was a great experience. Charisma took great care of our dogs and our home. She sent plenty of updates and pictures. Would definitely use her again and recommend her for sure.”
“Hana was so great with our two dogs! We have a nervous reactive dog that requires some patience, and Hana had no issues letting this dog take her time to warm up. We got lots of updates and Hana even stayed with them longer than she needed to so they'd have company for later in the day while we travelled home.”
“Carrie was absolutely amazing!!! She communicated with us throughout her stay and it was obvious our pups were very happy with her while we were gone. Knowing they were in extremely good care allowed us to enjoy our time away which can be stressful when you're constantly worrying about the furbabies!!! HIGHLY recommend and we will ABSOLUTELY book with her again in the future!”
About: I've had both a dog and a cat for my entire life, along with extensive dog, cat, and house sitting experience. Throughout college in Fort Collins, I volunteered as a foster parent for numerous puppies from All Aboard Animal Rescue! As young as 10 weeks old, I trained and loved on little babies from all types of places and care history. As a newly graduated college student I want my own animal so badly but until I am ready for my own I would love to help out with your little one! I work 4 days a week at a restaurant in downtown Breck. My days consist of walks, runs, hikes, etc outside before work and anywhere from 2-6 hour shifts. I live with my boyfriend who is often home when I am not and have a car and a bike to get to and from places around Summit County! My apartment is an animal loving community where I get furry love everyday. Pet care would fit easily into my schedule and lifestyle. While my own apartment is small, it is clean, on the first floor and has access to a grassy yard where other animals often play. When visiting dogs at their own homes I like to take my time. I'll often bring my computer to work and spend quality time with your animal in the comfort of their own space. As a plant lover and cleanly person, I leave no trace and will go above and beyond for your pet and home! I prefer using consistent communication with an owner and being as strict or as relaxed as you prefer with your animal. I like to be busy and enjoy the responsibility of loving on and caring for animals!
“Eric was a wonderful house and pet sitter! Our dog, Willow, loved Eric and his dog Rufus. Eric took Willow on many hikes and left our house in pristine condition. We would definitely recommend Eric to anyone living or staying in Summit County! Thank you so much!”
About: I am a full-time Frisco resident with a 5 year old golden retriever. We live in a townhome close to multiple parks, Tenmile Creek, and the Dillon Reservoir. I generally work M-F from 8-4. My dog is well behaved and loves to make new friends. We love taking walks on-leash and running around off-leash when it is appropriate. I am used to taking care of dogs of all sizes, and I have a lot of experience with Labs and Doodles. I am familiar caring for dogs of all ages and I am more than willing to adapt to a dog’s specific needs. I am happy to provide drop-in visits, walks, house-sitting services, and overnight stays at my home. Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions about your dog or your specific needs. I work full time, Tuesday through Saturday from 9-5 with some flexibility. Our normal routine is a morning walk around 8/9 am, an evening walk around 5pm, and a nighttime walk before bed. I am happy to adapt my schedule to your needs. I maintain a loving and safe home environment for dogs. If your dog will be staying at my home, ideally your dog does not need to be in a crate and can be trusted during the day. I provide ample walks and bathroom breaks around my work schedule, and weekends will be much more active.
“Trisha was great with our dogs. She is intuitive about what the dogs need and how to manage them. She was also good with communication and super flexible on working with us to accommodate logistics. Would definitely rebook.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old and grew up around a wide variety of pets. I’m a genuine animal lover and understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I currently have an 8 YO chocolate lab who has never met a dog (or person) he doesn’t like. Because of that, I’m very experienced with socialization, active dogs, and reading canine behavior. I’m also certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always a top priority. Whether your pup loves adventures and hikes or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I work for a local public safety agency, which gives me 4 consecutive days off every week and a very flexible schedule. On my days off, I spend a lot of time outdoors and typically take dogs on hikes, walks, and adventures around Summit County. Because of my schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving pets alone for long periods of time. I live in a single family residence with a private yard, giving your pup space to relax, play, and decompress if needed. I can also provide crate accommodations for dogs who are crate trained or more comfortable with their own space. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and a calm environment. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care.
“Our dog has a tough time meeting new people, but he had an amazing time with Heidi! Despite all of his quirks, she took great care of him and our apartment while we were away. We would definitely book Heidi again in the future!”
About: Ive had dogs since I was born, and taken care of the neighbor pups since I was 10. Ive watched dogs of all sizes and needs! Puppies are welcomed too, my dad grew up working at a dog kennel, and hes taught me all his training tips and tricks! I’m currently working as a ski instructor in Breckenridge! This is my first season so I’m still learning the ropes and the town. I would love to help anyone out in the afternoon/evenings as well as any days I have off from the mountain! I would not be able to care for your dog in my home, but I would ensure to respect your space while giving your pup all the things they need!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for years, I'm polite, considerate, generous, affectionate, patient and understanding. I love being helpful and taking care of others. I'm currently a computer science student looking for an income to support my studies. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time available to walk pets or take care of them. I have a fenced yard. Smoke free house. I currently don't live with my pets so the place would be all for your furry friend.
About: I grew up working at my family’s dog boarding business in Kodiak, Alaska, where we took care of more than 20 dogs and cats at a time My hours vary from week to week but I know my schedule well in advance, so don’t be afraid to reach out if you are interested. I always use an AirTag when walking just to be cautious, and of course I always use a leash and keep the doggy bag ready to go.
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life! I have pet sit internationally and around the US. I am a professional dog sledding guide and love any animals! I have done it all from pet sitting to animal rescue and rehabilitation to dog sledding! I am wide open! I am a seasonal worker so I am completely free in the spring and fall, 7 days a week. I am open to walking/overnight pet care whenever. I love playing outside and will take your pup out as much as possible! I have a super sweet 4 yr old dog who loves to play and keep your pup company!
“Sarah (goes by Alex) is great. She took good care of our old cat and young dog. She was responsible, responsive, timely and respectful. She also sent us pictures of the kids so we know they had a blast.”

The average cost of House Sitting in Blue River is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $53 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 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 , 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.
