“Caleb was awesome! We were gone for a bit over a week and Caleb kept everything running smoothly. Our pups looked like they were having fun on the walks in the pictures Caleb sent to us. We are so grateful to have a trustworthy, kind sitter to care for the two most important things in our lives -- our dogs!”
“Leona truly did an amazing job. She’s very responsive, very timely and keep us well updated. She went above and beyond cleaning up. Would highly recommend her and would definitely ask her again to watch our furry fellas!”
“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”
“Amanda was fantastic with my two kitties! I was gone for a full week, and she kept me informed and sent beautiful pictures throughout her stay. I could tell both kitties were comfortable and happy, which made my trip stress free. Will definitely be using her again!”
“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 :)”
“Sarah was wonderful with our babies and somehow tamed our wild and crazy two year old malamute baby! It was a huge comfort getting photos and updates knowing our babies were having a great time and being well cared for”
“Curtis was amazing with Brantley and I would definitely recommend him to anyone! He sent so many pictures and took my pup on long walks every day. He offered to come do a meet and greet on the same day I booked him (as it was a very last minute trip) and was very responsive the whole time we were gone. 5 stars :)”
“MITCH IS AMAZING!! Our dog Vito has a few special needs and Mitch was WONDERFUL with him. He sent photos and updated us a couple times a day which put us at ease leaving him. We definitely recommend him!!”
“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!”
“He is a great sitter, extremely kind to us and loving to our pets, who can be a handful. He went above and beyond what one expects, and I am looking forward to him taking care of our fur kids again”
“This is the second time Polina has watched our pets, and we couldn't be more grateful. She helped keep our energetic puppy in check and sent pictures and updates daily and even helped out with some things around the house while we were gone. We highly recommend Polina for watching your pets!”
“Leah was very sweet. She came over to meet the dogs and learn about their routines, then she stayed with them while we were away. Our dogs usually go on a hunger strike when someone else is staying with them, but they didn't this time. That says a lot about Leah! We'll definitely be booking her again if she's available for our next trip!”
“I would hire Madison again in an instant. My animals and house were well cared for. She befriended my nervous dog within an hour. My house was cleaner than I left it. She went above and beyond to water my flowers in the heat of the summer. No complaints here.”
“Ayla & Han are superlative care providers for our pets and home. We received regular updates with photos, and our pets looked relaxed and happy. Two of our pets tend toward the anxious side, so this is especially impressive. The house was left clean and tidy. They washed the sheets, remade the bed, and even fixed a toilet! I’m sure we will discover more; we just returned late yesterday. We highly recommend Ayla & Han.”
“Brooke did so great with our dogs! Sent pics and didn’t worry at all when we were gone. Dogs were very happy when we got back from our trip. Would definitely trust her to watch our dogs again in the future!”
“Lisa was so great with our two boys! She has such a sweet, gentle energy that my very shy puppy warmed up to her right away. She took wonderful care of our senior boy and our puppy at the same time, not always an easy task where giving attention to both is concerned. Lisa also took care of our home like it was her own and was extremely respectful with asking about our boundaries and comfort levels in our home. We would love to have Lisa stay with our dogs again!”
About: I have been babysitting and taking care of dogs since I was 14 years old. I got my own dog child 5 years ago. I have no trouble with large or small pups! I love to get in some sort of outdoor activity everyday and having a fun companion with me makes it even better! I work full time but am pretty flexible with my schedule. Everyone takes care of their dog differently. Meeting your expectations is important to me. Depending on those expectations, that is how I will take care of your dog.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Columbine is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbine
Jasmyne was absolutely wonderful and I would recommend her to everyone. She is so professional, friendly, and is super experienced with dogs which was ideal for me because I have a pittie who can be nervous with new people and a little reactive. I felt totally at ease with Jasmyne watching my pets while I was away. She also kept me updated the whole time and sent cute pictures! 10/10 recommendation - she is great! Thank you so much Jasmyne!!!!
Nicole did a wonderful job with our old girl. Sheba is showing all of her 14.5 years, with increasingly limited mobility and less predictable potty behavior. Nicole took it all in stride and provided excellent care. One testament to this is that Sheba had no accidents. We have already booked Nicole for another trip we are taking out of town. You can fully trust her to take care of your fur baby! She also does a great job with communication - including photos, a very nice touch!
Maia is truly the best. We have a full house of two cats, an energetic young dog, and a senior pup who recently went blind. She took exceptional care of all of our babies and provided the best updates I’ve ever seen. She is very detail oriented and put all my worries at ease. It was such a treat to be able to enjoy our trip knowing everyone was well taken care of. To top it off, my house was immaculately clean when I got home. Cleaner than I left it! Thank you, Maia! The whole fam is your biggest fan!
Tamarine watched our high-maintenance pups for 2 weeks while we were out of the country and our dogs had a great time! They were well loved and cared for, which was a HUGE weight off as we traveled. Each day we received photo updates that made us smile and made the guilt of leaving them fade away. Tamarine worked with our younger pup to help her with pulling while walking and also focusing from distractions. It's obvious this work has stuck, as she is a new dog when she walks! She respectfully waits for other dogs to pass and doesn't lunge at or jump on passers by. Our older, grumpy chihuaua was also charmed by Tamarine. Would recommend her to anyone!
We LOVE Katy. She is a delight and Dottie is always smiling when she's around. We were lucky to have her house-sit for ten days, and all was grand upon our return. I am so grateful to have someone like her to help. Thanks, Katy! We'll definitely see you for the next one.
Paul was absolutely amazing with my Romeo. He was so attentive and communicative! Paul followed all of my instructions and I got the cutest pictures and videos! Romeo seemed really happy and comfortable which put my mind at ease throughout my trip. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Paul again. 10/10 thank you!

FAQs for House Sitting - Columbine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Columbine on Rover is $44.4 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 8,701 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.

- 94% 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.
