“Spencer responded to a last minute request, agreed to meet me ahead of the sit to meet my dogs and was prompt and professional. He kept me well informed daily with photos and reports. I would highly recommend him!”
“Jason was amazing! My dogs are so tired from all the fun they had with Jason and Juniper over the weekend and I think they are actually a little depressed that they are gone. I felt very comfortable with him taking care of my dogs and hone plus he was very communicative the entire time we were gone. If you’re lucky enough for Jason to be in your town ABSOLUTELY book him to take care of your fur babies!”
“Melissa stayed at my apartment for 12 days with my dog and everything went well! She was very responsive anytime I checked in, my dog was well taken care of and she left my apartment super clean- will definitely use her again for future trips!”
“Rayelle was amazing! It was a long trip and she kept us informed the entire time. Had very good communication! If something changed with her daily schedule, she would be in contact to ask if it was okay. We had a bad experience with our last rover sitter, so I was very nervous this time around. But after Rayelle got to our house, I was at ease and didn't worry our entire trip. She even did the laundry and cleaned before we got home. Which was very helpful after driving across country for 2 days. She loved our dog like her own! She is a natural when it comes to taking care of dogs and really takes it seriously. Our dog enjoyed his time with Rayelle! He was such a happy guy when we got home and I could tell it was like we didn't even leave. We also loved the foot print she left us. Such a sweet gift! We look forward to having Rayelle was our dog again!”
“I highly recommend requesting Sadie to watch your fur babies. She did an awesome job with our 2 Pyrenees and even cleaned up an accident. She was very communicative and followed our instructions as requested. I will be booking Sadie again in the future if she’s available.”
“Brooke was an amazing buddy to Gizmo during our touristy visit to Cañon City! She put me totally at ease throughout the process with fast communication and was happy to hang with Giz in our motel room while we were out. He was very happy, relaxed, and clearly thrilled with her calm dog-person demeanor. Brooke really went the extra mile and I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: I have been taking car of animals all throughout my life. Starting with family members and then growing from there. I am experienced in watching all kinds of animals such as dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, sheep, and Guinea pigs, with the most experience being in watching dogs and cats. I have taken care of pets needs ranging from stopping by for daily walks all the way to several weeks of full time care while owners were away. I'm happy to help take care of your pet as if they were my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule so I am available to do drop in visits and walks when it works best for you and your pets. Like I said I have a very flexible schedule and also want you and your pets to have the best experience possible so if you have any special requests I am happy to accommodate. Just message me and let me know what you and your pet need!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very little with my first beagle Buddy! I often cat sit for family members as well! I would be glad to care for yours! I’m in college and work part time which leaves my schedule relatively flexible. I miss my pets so much I would love to spend time with yours! I am very comfortable around all pets and can care for yours as needed. My dog at home is very friendly. I can bring your dog to my apartment my roommates will love on them too!
About: I've taken care of dogs and various other animals for 9 years now. We have 2 dogs of our own a GSP puppy and a creme Labrador. They are both friendly pups. I am currently working part time at AMR and am a stay at home mom full time due to my daughters care needs. We are home daily and would be around to play with your fur family and keep them company while you are gone! We allow dogs inside and on the furniture. We have a fenced in front yard that the dogs can go outside and potty and play in. They can go on walks as we live on a almost 3 acre farm.
About: Our family had dogs since I was a young boy; I've had many since then. I've also trained them. We also had fish, hamsters, birds, reptiles and lizards as pets. Some 15 years ago, one of my dogs went blind... I cared for him for 10 yrs after that until he passed away. He never left my side. A few years ago, I got another dog but she died of cancer last year. At the moment, I don't have a dog (she died) but I have 5 cats. I do rather well with both and my cats are quite used to dogs. I used to live on a ranch where we raised Arabians; I was responsible for feeding & caring as many as 18 horses. When I was younger, I rode often and played polo. My father passed 10 yrs ago and his wife sold our ranch. I am available to feed horses provided that I'm paid the time it takes to travel back and forth. I am available for cat/dog sitting & feeding. If you need dog boarding, please let me know if you pet gets along with cats. I work from home, so I am a home quite a bit. I also have a flexible schedule, and this can be accomodated to work around certain issues or conflicts. Please contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. I have a large (unfenced) yard, but I am willing to take your pet on walks in my neighborhood, as needed. I live one block away from a park. I am home quite often, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for drop-ins, visits, or even overnights.
“Edyn was great and my Bulldog loved her and her Cowbell. She did a wonderful job and is coming back tomorrow for a week. We are so happy with her warmth and care for our Bulldog and home. Thank you so much Edyn!! :)”
About: Hello, a little bit about me is my mom was actually a miniature dog breeder while I was younger, and I would actually help her take care of the puppies, along with having the privilege to be with the little mama’s in the middle of the birthing process. It resulted in me learning how to take care of the many animals, and how to have a lot of patience lol. I, myself, have 2 baby dogs and 1 needy cat, so I understand how it is when they become your world. If you have any more questions about me, just feel free to ask! I know that it can be an overwhelming experience to find a good sitter, but I am here to make it as fun and relaxing as possible. Thank you so much, and I look forward to supporting you! I am currently working part-time at Farmers Insurance, and it is 1-5pm on Monday-Friday. I also just prefer a couple hours for the morning on Sundays to go to church, but all other hours I am completely free! I cannot take care of pets in my home sadly, but I will be able to soon! I will update you guys when that happens, but I am willing to drive to them for now!
“Maria is the best! Thank you for taking care of our pets. She was communicative throughout our vacation and took extremely good care of the house and of our fur babies. Would highly recommend her.”
About: I have owned dogs cats and horses for over 20 years! I volunteered at a therapeutic animal ranch for 4 years and enjoy being around all animals. I love jogging and walking, and anything outdoors. I am able to administer medication and care for senior animals as well. I currently work part time however my schedule allows for a lot of flexibility as I am able to pick up and drop shifts. I am willing to travel as well. I have 3 acres of fully fenced yard where your babies can run and play. Pets are allowed and encouraged to sleep on the bed!
“Debbie is an exceptional pet and house sitter! Given the flexibility in her work schedule, she took the initiative to come out and meet us and our dogs before we left our trip. This allowed us to walk her through their routine and familiarize her with our home, creating an immediate sense of confidence in leaving our dogs under her care. Debbie's warm personality, coupled with her thoughtful questions, endeared her to both us and our dogs right away. Throughout our time away, Debbie consistently provided daily updates, complete with photos, and maintained open communication whenever she had questions, demonstrating her commitment to ensuring our pets were well cared for. I really appreciated her proactive approach to keeping us informed. When we got home, we were delighted to find our home in pristine condition, if not even cleaner than we left it! Debbie's attention to detail and respect for our space was clear, reinforcing our decision to entrust her with both our pets and home. Given the positive experience, we have already booked her for our next trip! Debbie's professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her a top choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet/house sitter.”

Harlie was wonderful! Yara had constant attention and was well taken care of - everything I hoped for! I was impressed by her willingness to do what I asked for Yara’s care and how well she kept in touch during my absence. I will definitely use her again for future stays! JW

FAQs for House Sitting - Cañon City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cañon City on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 75 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cañon City. 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 Cañon City 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 Cañon City 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 Cañon City 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 Cañon City. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
