“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Madeline was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of both my pets and my home while I was away. I came back to happy, well-cared-for pets and a house that was clean and well-maintained. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals. I had complete peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Mary was very good with our dogs! She kept us informed and sent several photos to us. We will reach out to her again when we need help with caregiving again!”
“Ayla & Han took care of our 2 German Shepherds for the weekend and words cannot describe how grateful we are that we found them! They took such great care of our pups, provided amazing photos and updates, and gave so much love to our pups when we were away. They are genuine and trust worthy people. Highly recommended and would definitely be reaching out again.”
“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!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our girl! This was our first experience with Rover and you truly went above and beyond. We hope to book you again in the future!”
“Mitch did a wonderful job sitting Kizmet! She was extremely happy when I got home. He sent updates and pictures to me regularly. Also, on his first stay, I got stuck out of town, and Kizmet also had a seizure. He handled everything extremely well, and took good care to reassure me that all was well, and that Kiz was ok. I would recommend him wholeheartedly! You can rest easy if he is caring for your fur baby!”
“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!”
About: I love and get along with cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, and sizes! I work from home full time so I can provide as much attention as they need. I work from home Monday through Friday from 7-4. I'm available for boarding full time, walking full time if it's close by, and pet sitting on evenings and weekends. I live in a third-floor apartment, so if your dog doesn't like stairs, that could be a challenge. But I don't have any pets of my own, so they will get my full attention if they board with me!
“Kalea was amazing with both of our kitties and young golden retriever! Frequently updating us with cute pictures, and taking great care of our house. Would definitely rebook in the future!”
“We had a great experience with Ruya! She took incredible care of our crew including a high-energy puppy, an elderly miniature pinscher with anxiety, and a very shy cat. All of them were calm, content, and clearly well-loved when we returned. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can truly tell how much love and dedication Ruya puts into her work. On top of that, the house was clean when we got back. We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. I have already booked her for a future sitting”
“Matt was amazing for a 10 night stay with our 3 dogs. He offered to do as many meet and greets as I needed to feel comfortable and sent pictures. When one of the dogs ate part of our couch (overnight) he was quick to send us a photo and let us know, as well as block the area off so she couldn’t do it again. He responds quickly and is priced more than fairly for the service he is providing. Will definitely book again should the need arise. Thanks Matt!”
“Sara took great care of our many pets while we were on vacation. I love that she works from home so my puppy had someone home most of the time. She was also great about taking my puppy for puppy play dates next door and playing with him in the back yard so I didn't have to pay for walks. House was in great shape and clean when I got home. You can trust Sara with your pets she is great. Will hire again :)”
“Caleb was excellent! He communicated very well about things that needed to be addressed with our dog and around the house. He also came up with new ways to get our dog to behave on walks!”
“Alyssa was an amazing sitter. She communicated the entire time and even alerted me to when one of my animals became ill. She was very responsible, clean, and communicative. Definitely will continue to use her services.”
“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!!”
“Daria was excellent in house-sitting for our 2 large dogs and 1 cat. She accepted our booking request on short notice, scheduled a meet & greet, and she even read up on our pets profile notes beforehand. All very seamless and while we were away, we received daily updates and pictures! Great service, good price, no complaints!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbine
Clay was very professional and pleasant to work with. He took wonderful care of our dog, taking careful note of all requests and instructions, and gave him lots of love. We got plenty of photo and video updates and it was nice to know our dog was in good hands.
Chris was great with Tessa. I could tell during the meet and greet that they would bond quickly. When I got home it was clear Tessa had a good time with Chris. Also, the house was so tidy when I got home. I definitely recommend Chris for housesitting with your pet. I am glad I have someone I can call on in the future.
Sierra did an amazing job taking care of our 2 pups while we were gone. She was so communicative, sent lots of pictures and walked them every day. We are so thankful she took such good care of our babies. We will definitely be asking her to keep them in the future if she’s interested!
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!
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.

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 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
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
