“We are so lucky to have found Tiffany! She is so great with all our pets. Can always count on her for updates and for taking great care of the pups. Thank you!!!”
“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 :)”
About: My family has rescued dogs since I was born! Breeds I've had or pet sitted for include Beagles, Bassets, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, Weiners, Presa Canarios, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Bernese Mountain Dogs, mixed breeds, dozens of cats and even a Vietnamese Pig! I adopted a Tabby cat from the shelter I volunteered at for 3 years (however, he has now "adopted" my parents and lives a very spoiled life in MI). Working at the shelter taught me how to be extra patient with certain breeds who came from unfortunate situations and/or environments. I cleaned their cages, took them for walks, administered meds, and showed them as much love as possible if they allowed it. I am a very affectionate person, love fur cuddles, and am not afraid to get dirty (I've had puppies and senior dogs) and have a natural ability to connect with animals. I am also very aware that some pets just need their personal space and have different needs, just like people (only better). I am an avid hiker and yogi and love including pets in any related activity I can so that they get to exercise and/or relax with me. I also am respectful that not all animals are created the same and am completely fine with just feeding them, walking them, and letting them have their own space if that's their preference. I work from home except for one day a week and do not have any dependents, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and lifestyle. I occasionally work a few hours on weekends at a food truck but can either bring your pet with me or they can hang for a few hours at my place. I also have reliable transportation (good 'ol Jeep) that can fit multiple pets of all shapes and sizes :-) I have an open floor plan apartment with a 110' ft. balcony overlooking Mt. Massive and live within one mile of two dog parks and within close distance to a safe, walkable downtown area. I also have a partner who owns property with a fenced yard and we share two rescue dogs (husky mix and shepherd mix). I have a pretty open floor plan and not a lot of "stuff" and am always aware of what items are around to put away so that the pet cannot get into anything. I have one set of stairs that go up to the apartment, and can also keep extra blankies, toys, and owner approved treats (if allowed) to make sure that the pet feels as safe and comfortable as possible.
“Rachel was awesome! She was available with only a couple days short notice and listened to all instructions. My Rudy was very happy and bonded quickly. Will definitely be rebooking!”
About: Currently in Leadville. Ready to meet some new doggos. I’ve been dog sitting since 2015. I have a standard poodle who is great with other pets and loves to play. I have a ton of space for play! We are very active and love getting outside and we are in the perfect area for that. I have two pretty awesome pups, both high energy poodles, so rain or shine we find a way to play outside. They go lots of places with me and I usually work around their schedule! 🐩 🐩 Make sure I know the ins and outs of the home and everyone is always comfortable. My dogs have their favorite spots and safe places and I know when I’m in clients homes to always be aware.
“Hannah was AMAZING! She took the best care of my Chelsea! She sent me pics & updates daily! I couldn’t even tell she stayed in my house as she left it perfect! HIGHLY recommend!!!!”
“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 taking a long break from pet sitting unless it’s dogs I know very well. Tundra and his B’s will be chillin for now. I currently work PT locally in town and some from home. I am looking to supplement my income with pet sitting and other services for animals I care for your loved ones (pet or otherwise) as I would my own family. That is what I am always hoping for with my sitters for my pup or my mom. They get let out supervised often and also have a big sunny enclosed upstairs deck to hang out on weather dependent.
“Outstanding in every way! My pup takes a lot of meds and has to stick to a schedule. Victoria flawlessly executed the plan without any issues. She is also loving, kind and attentive with our boys who are somewhat high maintenance!!! A+++”
“We were very happy with Savannah, she watched both of our dogs and house sit. We were concerned because they can be a handful sometimes , one is 7 yrs old and bigger and the other is new and only 1 yr. old. And she handled them fine. She communicated with us, sent pics and looked for parcels and got mail etc. and cleaned the house before we got back. We would def. use her again. Thank you Savannah!”
“Esther was amazing! Prompt to respond, sent us photos and updates daily while we were gone, and left our home just as clean (if not better) than before we left. We could tell that our pups were well cared for - even our high energy boy was exhausted when we got back! We had an interesting time with our trip and had to cut the booking short and she was more than flexible and all with a positive attitude. We will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
About: I started pet sitting when I was a teenager and have loved doing so ever since! I have watched the pets of family members, friends, and community members, through word of mouth. I have worked with animals of all sizes, temperaments, and species! My most unique pet sitting experience was an axolotl! My longest pet sitting was a period of 6 months for 2 elderly cats. I am so excited to spend time with your pets! I work full time at an elementary school. I am able to provide walks, check ins, and face-to-face time after school (4 pm M-Th). I am also available F-S with much more availability. I am happy to host pets after a quick meet and greet with my pup to make sure that both pets feel comfortable! I am also happy to care for the pet in your home and to leave my pup with my partner!
About: I have raised 3 dogs from puppyhood with my family and have taken care of my friends and family’s dogs. I had experience with puppies and older dogs. I work part time jobs meaning I have plenty of time for your animals and to prioritize their needs. I have my own vehicle and live with my family. I have a fenced in yard with 2 very friendly dogs up in Redcliff. My dogs spend most of their time outside and with people. There is typically someone always in the house meaning the animals are never left alone for long periods!
“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: Dogs are the best part of life! I will care for your babies like they’re my own! I have been doing this for awhile now & just love it. I work part time, but it is a remote position. I am very flexible throughout the day. I will be able to spend quality time with your animals! I am always respectful of other people’s homes. I am very reliable & trustworthy. I follow instructions to a tee. I try to be as professional as possible!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Climax on Rover is $42.18 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 380 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Climax. 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 Climax 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 Climax 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 Climax 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 Climax. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
