“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!!”
“Lara was so amazing! She stepped in last minute after our previous sitter backed out and was so amazing with our older 17 year old kitty, who requires daily medication and special food. I could tell they were loved and cared for by the photos she sent and how relaxed they were when I got home. So grateful to have found her!”
About: Providing safe, reliable, and loving care for dogs as if they were my own! Dogs have always been a part of my life whether it's through my immediate and/or extended family. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and respect, following their routine carefully and providing regular updates to owners. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I work weekends (friday-sunday) so I have a lot of time on my hands to be available to assist in potty breaks, walks and playtime ! I first ensure the dogs' boundaries are respected. I am comfortable with introductions in order to gain trust (I've had to do this in the past for family members).
“Maggie did a great job watching our dogs. She was reliable and followed all my instructions. She communicated well and the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. I would definitely use her again.”
“Dogs loved Clay! They were super relaxed and calm when we came home. He had came back by after we arrived home both the dogs were all over him. Would definitely recommend for any pet sitting needs! Great communication. I’m already figuring out dates for next our next booking. And not to mention reasonable.”
“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!”
“Rachel was amazing! She stayed at the house and took care of our two dogs - the boys were well cared for and clearly had a good time. She kept the house clean and tidy and was great at communicating. We would definitely have her come back and stay!”
“Morgan is just amazing. Communicating was great back and forth, even when our flight plans had to change. She took excellent care of our doggies and our house. She was here with the dogs for the vast majority of the day, which was important to me. She is my go-to sitter going forward.”
“Hannah did great looking after my two big fluffers, Bowie and Hero! She gave them lots of love and we enjoyed all the pictures she sent us. I would highly recommend her!”
“Revann took fantastic care of Hazel while we were away. She was reliable, professional, and clearly loves dogs. Regular updates and photos of their daily walks helped us feel reassured. I highly recommend Revann for anyone needing a trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you for your exceptional service!”
“Alexa did a fantastic job caring for my older (14 y.o.) Aussie and Lab (4 y.o.) who just recovered from a minor surgery. Both take multiple meds which she gave without issue. She stayed overnight with the pups, ensured they had plenty of exercise and would definitely have her watch the dogs again in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for my own dog for the past 10 years and grew up helping care for family dogs before that. I’ve always loved animals of all kinds and enjoy spending time with them. I understand how important pets are to their families and will treat yours with the same love, care, and attention I give my own! I am a student and have plenty of time to accommodate your furry loved ones. Open each evening, Tuesday’s after 1pm, all day Wednesday, Thursday mornings and Friday afternoons. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal with the same love and care I give my own dog. Whether I’m walking your dog or caring for your pets in your home, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your pet’s individual needs and routines, and provide updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
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.
“Audrey is awesome! She took such great care of my elderly cat. Pictures and notes every day! I got home and she'd taken out trash, washed up, etc. - left my place spotless! Thank you so much, Audrey, for taking such wonderful care of Carli and my home! I highly recommend Audrey - she is reliable and trustworthy and will love on your pets!”
“Allison was great! She had to deal with an unexpected ill doggie and she handled it like a pro and left me assured all was well. She communicated well during my time away and the two doggies definitely look happy and content after their days with Allison.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Columbine Valley
This is the 2nd time Mariesa has cared for our two dogs and she was wonderful while we were away for 11 days! She sent us photos and updates, which were appreciated. She made sure they had enough play time and had their medications. The house was also immaculate when we returned, which we really appreciated!. We highly recommend her as a sitter!
Tessa was AMAZING! She met our dogs before the week she sat with them and was very thorough in preparing. While we were gone she sent us text updates and pics through the app so we could see how happy and relaxed our pups were the whole time. One of our dogs turned 9 while we were gone and Tessa celebrated with her, and gave both dogs their scheduled heartworm medicine. She also helped with various minor household things (brought the mail in, put the trash out) and was just all-around a great sitter! We'd definitely ask her to watch Cheyenne and Callie again!
We always love to have Jo watch our fur babies. She always is so attentive and careful with them. We have a senior dog and she follows his medication and care directions so carefully. Jo is fabulous and would 100% recommend to anyone who needs someone to watch their animals.
Lexie was great with our 10 week old puppy! We felt completely comfortable leaving our puppy in Lexie’s care, and Lexie was even able to introduce clicker training while our puppy was in her care! We will definitely be repeat clients for any future pet sitting or training needs.
Amy was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took excellent care of our pets, including our diabetic kitty who requires insulin twice daily. Her communication was fantastic throughout our trip, with regular updates, pictures, and videos that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring, even going above and beyond to make sure everything at home was taken care of. It was such a relief knowing our furry and scaly family members were in such good hands! We came home to happy pets and everything in perfect order. We would absolutely trust Amy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Amy!
Casey has taken care of Humphrey when we go out of town for the past few years, and she is great! This past time, she kept me extra updated on his eating because we were both concerned that he was only eating treats. I always know he is in great hands with Casey!
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.
Mia did an excellent job taking care of our kitty. She also watched our house and flowers. We.will use Mia in the future and we highly recommend her. We were gone for am extended stay in Europe and she communicated with a picture every day. She also trimmed our kitty's nails and brushed his teeth nightly. And on our return our kitty was calm and loving.
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Columbine Valley is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $163 per night.

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 Valley 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 Valley 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 Valley 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
