“Rhi and Sean were great! Definitely recommend. Rhi was great at communicating with us prior our trip and throughout our trip. Sent many photos of our zoo and really connected with our animals. Also took great care of our house while we were gone. We would definitely use this team again.”
“Ciara watched our small 2 yr old golden doodles for a few days and nights. She is sweet, caring, bubbly, patient, and you can see that she loves dogs. They absolutely loved her which made us feel secure that our two pups were in good hands while we were out of the state for a family funeral. We left her plenty of puppy instructions and seemed she followed them. She sent photos of our fur babies during our time away. She definitely took great care of them. We would definitely use her again for puppy sitting.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! She was able to watch our two older dogs for a weekend while our normal sitter was unavailable. One of our dogs requires medication twice a day and Elizabeth kept us constantly informed on administering the medication and how the dogs were doing throughout the weekend. 10/10 would rebook again in the future!”
About: I have watched multiple different dogs and cats throughout my years! Having two dogs of my own, and watching multiple different dogs, I love every minute of it! I am an EMT in Denver and also in paramedic school. I love hiking and being outside! Long walks with my dogs multiple times a day is one of my favorite activities. We go to the dog parks and explore new places. I will do whatever your pup likes whether it’s long walks, hikes, or just sitting in the sun! I have three days off a week, and I work at 4pm so I have plenty of time in the mornings to let pups out! My schedule will be changing the beginning of September to have even more time to walk your pups or take care of your animals! I care for the pets in peoples homes just like I care for mine at my home! I respect house rules and stick with their schedule. I am willing to do whatever is needed of me!
“I will absolutely be using Aislyn again to watch my dogs. The dogs loved her and she communicated with texts and photos. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs!”
“Ingrid took great care of our home and our dog! She kept us updated with photos and let us know all was going well, which was much appreciated! We will be glad to have her stay again in the future!”
“Debbie watched my dog in her home while I was on vacation. She took excellent care of my little girl! I came home to a happy and content dog. It gave me peace of mind when I wasn’t able to be with my dog. She gave me updates on how my dog was doing, which was appreciated! I would use Debbie again and recommend her to others.”
About: I've owned animals my whole life! Growing up in Montana, I had all sorts of furry friends! Having raised four children, we always had pets of some sort! My kids are adulting now, and I currently don't own any animals of my own, so I thought I could get my furry fix by helping other owners when their pets need care! Just trying to fill my own void, while helping someone else out! I am self-employed and work from home. My days/weeks are usually pretty flexible! I sell real estate, and can usually take pets along for the ride, or am not gone for long periods of time during the day if I do have to leave! I am happy to take care of your pets the way you prefer they are cared for. I love fur babies, and am just not in a place in life to own them right now, so I wanted to both get my fur baby fix while at the same time, helping an owner in need! I have extensive experience with animals, and even worked in a vet clinic when I was younger.
“Mareena was wonderful. 1 of our pups has many medical needs but we had no worries with her watching them for the weekend. We would highly recommend Mareena. Thank you again!”
“Heidi was great with our two dogs. She communicated daily and sent lots of pictures. She took great care of our house. I would highly recommend Heidi, and will definitely have her take care of our dogs again.”
About: I currently am a stay at home mom to a three year old boy and 1 year old girl. We have a big fenced in yard that our dog loves spending time in. I love spending time with my Chihuahua, Luna. My kids als love dogs and we’re looking forward to new pups to watch and play with! I have had dogs my entire life and wish I could open a dog foster of my own. We love to go camping, hiking and running; We walk/run twice a day, and have tons of cuddle time once inside. I’m a stay at home mom so am very open for dog walking during the day. I am also Open for drop ins as well as overnights in my home. We have a large fenced yard that has chicken wire all around it-my 6 pound chihuahua is safe in the yard :) we also have a large dog crate if needed.
“Absolutely amazing. She sent us daily pictures and was so good with our geriatric dog. She left the house so clean and was an excellent communicator. She will be at the top of our sitter list from now on.”
“Erica took good care of Thor and was respectful of our home. She was very communicative and shared pictures of Thor on a daily basis. We would definitely like Erica to stay with Thor again.”
“Jackson was so attentive and took great pride in caring for Rocky. Also, our flight from London was cancelled and the day after this booking expired, he stayed the extra night and gave me such peace of mind I wasn’t scrambling t find a different person, family/friends to help. Can’t thank you enough for your great care. Also was very responsible while staying in our home.”
About: I have experience caring for all kinds of pets, from horses and cats to energetic dogs. I’m patient, caring, and always make sure each pet gets plenty of love and attention. I currently work part-time, so my availability varies throughout the week. I’m happy to work around my job schedule and will communicate my availability clearly. I’m especially available on my days off and weekends. I always follow your pet's routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and special instructions. I'll care for your home with respect & make sure your pet feels safe & comfortable while you're away
About: I understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger. But don't worry, I've got you covered. I have years of experience with cats and dogs of all breeds. I've had animals since I was 8 years old. I think of my animals as part of the family and I will care for them just as well as I care for my own. Currently I have a very flexible schedule and available 7 days a week. And if something comes up where you need last minute coverage, I am available for short notice bookings. I've watched animals in their own home many times and I am extremely respectful of your home at all times. Trust and safety are my number one priority when watching your pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Castle Rock
Janae was amazing and I cannot express the extent of our appreciation for her! Our vacation started off rough and we needed her earlier and she was so accommodating. Then, one of the dogs got sick and she took care of them like her own. They kept her up at night and she didn’t complain once. Usually our dogs are easy but this time all the things happened and I trusted Janae thru all of it. She was easy to communicate with and just overall amazing. We will definitely use her again if she’ll have us!
This is our 2nd time booking with Shaun and Rhiannen. We are so thankful we found them to take care of our zoo and home. Our oldest dog is now on seizure meds twice a day so we can no longer bring him on roadtrips with us. Shaun and Rhiannen give us peace of mind while we’re gone. We know all of our pets and our home are in good hands. Our pets had so much love and attention and our home was clean and tidy. We even had a cancelled flight and Rhiannen offered to stay another night! We can’t say enough, they’re the best!
We love having Skyler take care of Duke. She does a great job at caring for his medical needs and is so gentle with him. She also made sure he was well taken care of before she left this time since our flight got delayed. Would highly recommend and definitely at the top of our list when searching for sitters.
Easily the best dog sitter our dog has ever had!! This is our first time using Rover and we met Kayla, who truly loved our dog as her own. She came multiple times each day, playing with him and taking him on walks, sending us videos and pictures so we knew how he was doing throughout. Our dog has had some bad experiences with dog sitters in the past, and it was such a comfort knowing he was actually as happy as could be with Kayla. He’s a rescue who still displays a lot of his abandonment issues, making it hard for us to travel without him. Kayla was very understanding, coming to our house often so he could be in his usual setting and making sure to give him plenty of attention and affection. She even seemed to like his “hugs” which he gives both on command and when he’s feeling affectionate. Cannot say enough good things, we will definitely book with her again next time we need a sitter for our dog!!
Myla was able to accommodate a very last-minute request. My pups are rescue dogs and are very scared and nervous around new people, but my dogs loved her! When I came home, I could tell they enjoyed hanging out with a new friend and they were not stressed at all.
Heidi was absolutely incredible!! She sent constant updates and I could tell my dogs were so relaxed and happy. Such a great experience! Thank you so much for taking such great care of them! It took a huge weight off of our shoulders to be able to keep them home and loved.

The average cost of House Sitting in Castle Rock is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $83 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Castle Rock 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 Castle Rock 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 Castle Rock 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.
