“Nina was wonderful staying with Ginger while I was away! She kept me updated on all of their adventures with hilarious commentary and love. I knew Ginger was in great hands. Will definitely have Nina watch her again. Thank you Nina!!”
“Nevaeh did a wonderful job watching my little dogs! She was caring, professional and kind! She followed all of my instructions and she even took my trash bins in from the outside on trash day. My older dog wouldn’t go upstairs to the guest room with her so instead of leaving him alone downstairs she chose to sleep downstairs with him which was very sweet. Everything was left perfectly clean and Punky and Wilbur were so well taken care of and happy. Thank you so much for your excellent care, Nevaeh!!”
“Emily was amazing! Our pup Maple is our pride and joy so we always get nervous leaving her, but Emily took great care of her and sent plenty of pictures and updates that felt very reassuring! She was very respectful and attentive - seemed like Maple had a great time!”
“Isabella was wonderful! She was very comfortable with our large anxious dog and left the house looking great. She was very communicative and helped out with an unexpected delivery when we were gone. I look forward to using her again.”
“Chris stayed at our house for 5 nights and took such great care of our pups and our home! He was super communicative and reliable and sent us lots of photo updates. I knew our house and pups were in good hands as soon as he walked through our door. I will absolutely book with Chris again.”
“Our anxious dog was a little nervous since we’d been gone two whole weeks, but otherwise they seemed great! Clearly well taken care of while we were gone - fresh litter and left with toys until our arrival. They’ve settled down now that we’re back to normal! Donovan did a great job taking care of them.”
“Santiago watched our dog Daisy for the first time and yet it felt as if we had known him for a long time. He was wonderful with Daisy as we could see from the many photos he sent to keep us informed every day. He fulfilled all of our requests regarding food, walks, plant watering. Our house was in excellent condition. He even laundered the sheets and re made the bed. That sure is a bonus at the end of a trip. Because I felt so comfortable on meeting Santi, I booked him for another stay before he had come the first time. It is so wonderful to leave a beloved pet with a light hearted and confident feeling as we did with Santi. Daisy seemed to thrive on his watch.We all look forward to his next stay.”
“Brian has watched our Siberian cat twice now and been wonderful both times. He sent lots of cute photos of snuggling and playing and the house was spotless. He’s also just a really nice guy. Highly recommended!”
“Brenna took amazing care of our dog. She sent photos regularly and was responsive to emergencies like the power going out. We are so grateful for her care and attention to detail.”
“We really appreciate Anthony taking care of our 2 dogs this past weekend. He provided great care and great updates throughout the stay. Definitely would like to have him watch our dogs again.”
“This was our first time using Connie. She stayed at our house over the weekend with our Bernese Mountain Dog pup while we were out of town. We received lots of photos and updates, which was so wonderful! Connie kept us updated on how Boken was doing daily and left the place looking exactly as we'd left it. We were super happy!”
“Meghan was great with Mimo and took wonderful care of him again. We had a few unexpected issues come up at home and with Mimo’s health, and she was incredibly helpful on managing while we were away.”
“Jennie took great care of our high-energy, sometimes-prone-to-drama pup, and our very senior (21-year-old) cat. She went above and beyond for us, picking up our farm share (even going over twice after a mis-cue on my part) and she brought in a big package when it arrived a day early. Five-star sitter for sure!”
“Leah was super communicative, sent tons of photo and video updates, and left our house just as clean (or cleaner!!) than we left it. Would definitely recommend her!!”
“Taylor took amazing care of our pups and sent daily pics and videos of them! He also was a wonderful house guest, and even washed our guest sheets and towels. We would happily have him come stay and care for the dogs again anytime!”
About: Animals have always been my biggest passion, and caring for them brings immense joy to my life. With over a year of hands-on experience in pet sitting, I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your furry family members. I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. Whether it's playtime, long walks, or just cozy cuddles, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am looking forward to dedicating myself even more to this work and building wonderful connections with both pets and their owners! I work during the day, but my schedule allows me to seamlessly fit pet care into my mornings, evenings, and weekends. I am also available for house sitting, meaning I can stay right at your home to keep your pets company and maintain their routine while you are away. Whether it is morning/evening walks, feeding times, or overnight stays, I ensure your pets receive consistent attention and care. Safety, cleanliness, and trust are my absolute top priorities. Coming from a background in childcare as a nanny, I am highly vigilant, responsible, and observant. I am also a very meticulous person when it comes to cleanliness and organization, meaning your pet will always be in a hygienic, hazard-free, and safe environment. I always ensure that doors and gates are secure, dangerous items are out of reach, and pets are closely supervised both indoors and during walks. You can trust that I will protect and care for your furry family member just as carefully as I would a child.
“Zoe was absolutely amazing with my Golden Retriever, Bailey! She went above and beyond. She sent plenty of photo updates and shared Bailey’s adventures with me, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Not only did she treat Bailey with so much love and care, but she also took wonderful care of my home, leaving everything spotless. Zoe is truly sweet, reliable, and fantastic with animals. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
Wow!! Cannot recommend enough! Brooks was excellent! I was pretty nervous bc I have never used Rover before- only ever had friends watch my dog. Immediately he was so attuned to her body language and pacing when he met her, super engaged in play with her, asked very great questions about her routine and the house. He cares a lot and puts a lot of intention into giving the right care! I came back to a happy pup! Communication, updates and care for her while I was gone was impeccable! Truly truly recommend Brooks as a sitter and will hire him again if need be and available !
Aislinn was absolutely amazing! She was so easy to work with and took wonderful care of my dog, Elle. Elle has special needs, and Aislinn gave her all the love, attention, and support she required including managing her medication flawlessly. Her communication was top-notch throughout the stay. On top of that, she left my home completely spotless, which shows just how respectful and attentive she is. I will definitely be booking her again
Colleen was incredible! She responded quickly, gave daily updates and even took the dogs on walks and brushed them. Going above and beyond what was listed on the house sitting instructions. House was left tidy/clean. Will definitely use her again. I’m pretty sure the dogs miss her too.
Absolutely wonderful with my dog and two cats! Sabrina genuinely cares—she takes my dog on long walks out in nature, brings along his favorite toy, and was so thoughtful about making sure he’s happy and well cared for. I feel completely comfortable leaving all my animals with her when I’m out of town. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!
Sophia was THE BEST sitter we've ever had. She asked a lot of questions beforehand to prepare and communicated well when we were away. One of our pups broke a toe while we were away and she took him to the vet promptly (and dealt with his aftercare.) She also dealt with an emergency plumbing situation at our house. We appreciate all that she did for us when we were away. Our two dogs were really happy the whole time and we could tell they (and the house) were well cared for. We would recommend Sophia to anyone and plan to use her again the future.
Meghan is amazing! She takes such great care of my dog while I’m away so I can rest easy and enjoy my vacation. She is also incredibly respectful of my house and when I get home it is cleaner than when I left- an added bonus to how amazing she is with my dog! Highly recommend!
Connie was so beyond amazing and reassuring for leaving our beloved little pomchi Miyagi in her care for nearly 10 days. We are so so grateful for her and appreciative of all the extra attention and love she gave to our sweet little baby. She was flexible, communicative, and sweet - we couldnt have asked for a better sitter!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Boulder on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,465 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Boulder. 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 Boulder 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 Boulder 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 Boulder 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 Boulder. 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.
