“Allison was wonderful with my dog while I was traveling. My pup can be slow to warm up to new people, and Allison won him over very quickly. She was communicative and I felt comfortable while away. I would definitely have her back anytime.”
“Caleb took care of our two older dogs, both who had special diets and medications to track. He was responsive during the stay and the house was left exactly as we left it. We received pics of the pups along the way who seemed happy and healthy upon our return. We will definitely use Caleb again for another home stay!”
“Madeline is awesome! She takes such good care of my dogs including walks! She sends lots of videos so I never worry. Also, my house looks amazing when I get home!”
“Leona was a true FIND for us on Rover!! She dog sat for us for 2 longer trips and took amazing care of our 2 dogs. One of our dogs was just recently adopted and Leona took great care to meet him where he was at. They have since bonded and of course our other dog absolutely adores her too. Our other dog needs medication and injections, and Leona took the time to meet with us ahead of our trip, so she felt comfortable. We will continue to call on Leona for ALL of our upcoming travel!”
“Alyssa was wonderful with our two high energy dogs and mellow cat. She gave each of them special attention following their feeding instructions perfectly. She sent along pictures while we were away and left our home spotless . Alyssa took great care of our fur family. Highly recommend”
“Loved Daria! She was extremely flexible with my schedule for pick up/drop off of Luna. She also sent pics and vids of her during the trip to check-in. I'll definitely use her in the future to watch Lu again :)”
“Jane was beyond great! She shared photos of our pups while she watched them at our home. The house was left spotless, and she even washed the sheets! I'll definitely book again.”
“Mary did an amazing job watching our 4 dogs for 8 days over the 4th of July! 3 of our dogs are very old with special needs and 1 is afraid of fireworks and she was happy to accommodate to our requests to make the sitting go smooth. The dogs were very well taken care of and the house was spotless when we got home. We will definitely be reaching out to her for future sitting needs!”
“Sara was FANTASTIC and we could not recommend enough. We left for 10 days to Hawaii, she took great care of our German Shepherd Levi, sent us consistent updates, and took amazing care of our home. He looked so happy in every picture we received. This was the longest we’ve ever been away from our dog and she made the process so seamless and not stressful at all.”
“I was lucky to have Rachel stay with my dog for a fourth time recently. It really puts my mind at ease when I'm traveling to know she's with my buddy because I know his health and happiness is her top priority. I love the pictures she sends periodically so I can see Max is out enjoying walks and lazying around the house as usual.”
“Jessie helped provide good care for our older dog while we were out of town, and helped with walks/medications as needed. Very grateful for her care and easy/quick communication.”
“The best petsitting experience. Kate was so flexible with our last-minute booking and other changes and so kind. She sent updates and took great care of not only our pets but our home. Will be rebooking when we need her!!”
“Ayla and Han did a great job caring for our dog while we were out of town. They sent updates as often as requested and have always been very responsive and professional. They stayed at our house while we were gone and left our house spotless. I would highly recommend!”
“Kaitlyn was fantastic! She took excellent care of our pups. We loved receiving daily pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”
“Lindsay was great! She sent daily updates and photos of our dogs and took great care of them while we were away. Our dogs seemed to love her! She also left our house nice and clean. We would definitely use Lindsay again next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Thank you Lindsay!”
“Kalea house sat for me for a week. My two dogs loved her and were well cared for. She was very communicative, pleasant, and a great photographer. I came home to a clean house. I highly recommend her services.”
About: Growing up with dogs, I have cared for many breeds and temperaments, from English Bulldogs to Australian Shepherds. I genuinely love every dog I meet! I'm currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pups! I'm available for overnight house sitting on weekends and Wednesdays. For walks and drop-in visits, I'm available after 3 PM on weekdays, with full availability on Wednesdays and Fridays. Your pet's safety and well-being are my top priorities. When caring for your pets in your home, I am respectful of your space and attentive to keeping doors, gates, and outdoor areas secure. On walks, I remain alert and attentive to my surroundings and your dog's individual needs, including reactivity, triggers, and interactions with other dogs and people. I pay close attention to weather conditions, temperature, heat exposure, and signs of discomfort, providing fresh water and adjusting activities as needed. I will follow your pet's established routines and care instructions closely, and I'm happy to accommodate special requests whenever possible. My goal is to provide thoughtful, attentive care while helping your pet feel safe, comfortable, and secure.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbine
We had a last minute Labor Day weekend trip and Allison was so amazing staying with Ollie and Gigi. She helped put my mind at ease knowing they were in great hands. She was communicative and sent lots of pictures and when we came home we could tell that they were well taken care of and provided with lots of love. She was a wonderful house guest as well and we would 10/10 recommend. We would love to have her back for any future sitting needs!
Siearra was the best! Our two dogs had so much fun with her and she gave them so much attention they were exhausted when we got home. She was very communicative and professional and sent us tons of photos and updates on the dogs. She was also incredibly respectful of our space. We will absolutely use Siearra again and couldn’t have asked for a better Rover.
Matt and his girlfriend stayed at my house for two nights to take care of my senior cat. He did a great job. He was super quick to respond to my messages, sent me updates, and followed the instructions for meds and supplements very well (and there are a lot!) I would love to use him again.
Daria was amazing with our pets while we were away. We have four dogs and two cats, so it’s definitely not the easiest house to pet sit, and she handled everything so well. Two of our dogs need medication, and all four dogs are notorious for barely eating when we leave. Somehow Daria got every single one of them to eat, even our super picky ones, which honestly says a lot. She sent us updates and photos every day, took great care of the house, and left everything clean when we got home. It was such a relief knowing everyone was being well cared for. We’d absolutely have her pet sit for us again.
Eva was fantastic, came for a visit before the weekend, then spent 4 nights with Arnie. He was shy initially and out of sorts, first pet sitter after being rescued 5 months ago. Eva brought him along slowly and by the time we came home Arnie and Eva were doing great! Eva did a great job. Arnie made a huge step with this weekend, and we’re grateful to Eva for her work with him!!
Maia is a wonderful dog sitter! She took great care with our Parti Yorkie and Bichon/Cocker mix. Maia played with them and got in a couple of walks during the 22 hours she watched our dogs. Maia is great at communicating and sending us pictures throughout the day. I really can’t say enough wonderful things about her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Columbine on Rover is $44.4 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 8,650 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Columbine. 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 Columbine 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 Columbine 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 Columbine 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
