“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!”
“Highly recommend Talie! She was on time and communicative. Throughout the weekend, she sent me photos, took my pup on walks and, all said and done, I came home to a happy pup and a clean house.”
“Caleb did an awesome job house-sitting for us. He took great care of our old puppy making sure he was comfortable and happy while we were away for a week. He also took good care of the house like taking the trash out without being asked, taking some misdelivered packages over to the neighbors, and keeping the house clean and in good shape. Next time we need a house-sitter we will definitely reach out to Caleb and hope that he is available.”
“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!”
“Madeline was an excellent sitter - she sent communications showing that my pet was eating and walking happily, and she was also a very considerate houseguest! Thank you!”
“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 :)”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Clay is amazing ? He went above and beyond caring for our babies and our home! Clay kept us posted during our trip as to the wellbeing and activities of our dogs by sending photos and keeping us aware of when he may be absent. Clay is instant family!”
“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!”
“Tessa watched our dog Canyon in our home for a week in March 2026. Tessa took excellent care of Canyon, provided us with periodic updates and pictures throughout her stay! As an over-the-top and unexpected gesture, Tessa even picked up the backyard, washed any linens she used during her stay, and left our home better than she found it. Tessa is now our preferred sitter and we will definitely ask her first when we next need a sitter.”
“Curtis was very diligent at house sitting. It was m first trip having her and he was able to keep her occupied and meet her demands. It was very reassuring to get all of his photos. It helped me know that she was doing well. I am excited for my next trip because I am sure that she will be in great hands!”
“Lauren did an excellent job watching our senior dog! He requires several medications throughout the day and she took wonderful care of his needs! She was great at communicating with us and she sent pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when we arrived home! We would highly recommend her to any pet parent!!”
“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.”

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!
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!
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!
Amanda was awesome! I needed someone on short notice and she was available. She watched my puppy, and even helped her cure her diarrhea. And she watered my plants at my house. I will definitely book with her again, my puppy loved her time with Amanda and her dogs.
Kalea did any excellent job with our two dogs and two cats ! She took the dogs for walks and gave all the animals lots of love ! I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies. Our home was well taken care of and she was great with communication. We will be using her again !
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!
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.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 8,682 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.

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.
