“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!”
“Daria gave my dog attention and walked her every day. She tried to comfort her when a storm was near which really frightenes my dog. Daria also let my dog sleep with her. I recommend her when you need someone to take care of your pet.”
“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!”
“Tessa was great! She was responsive and took great care of our sweet guy. Our house was left clean, she asked to water our plants, and our cat seemed very well cared for while we were gone. We will definitely use Tessa again!”
“Lindsay stayed at the house with our three dogs while we were out of town. She was a great house/dogsitter and we would happily use her again! The house was spotless when we returned and the dogs were very relaxed.”
“I loved having Alyssa stay with Camden! She was a great at keeping me posted on dog/house and took good care of my house while i was gone for 9 days. She left everything in tip top shape and was loving with my dog...will definitely book her again!”
“Deborah Sue did a great job with Mars! She was very sweet with him and he was comfortable with her. Not only that, but she took good care of the house while we were gone, taking the trash cans out and bringing them back in”
“We can’t say enough good things about Polina! From the initial meet & greet, we felt completely at ease leaving Scoot and Maisie in her care. She took amazing care of our dogs, keeping up with their exercise and routines perfectly, and it was clear the pups felt loved. Her daily photos and updates made our trip relaxing because we knew our fur babies were being well cared for! Not only is she great with dogs, but she’s also a considerate house guest—we came home to a clean house and relaxed pups. She even went above and beyond by staying extra time when we ran late. Five stars isn't enough!”
“Thanks so much to Mitch for helping us out while we had to leave the country unexpectedly. We really appreciated his flexibility, especially when we had to coordinate a mobile vet visit at our home. Thank you again!”

“Amanda was the perfect choice for watching our fur babies while we were out of town. She kept our dog happy with lots of walks, loved on our cat, and sent pictures every day for updates. Amanda also left our place exactly how it was when we left! I highly recommend and will be using her for all of my pet sitting needs.”

Tessa was absolutely amazing with our 4-month-old Yellow Lab, Beau! She met us at our hotel a few days before our booking so she could get to know him and learn exactly how to care for him. From the moment we met her, we knew he was in great hands. It’s clear that Tessa genuinely loves dogs and goes above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and happy. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’d absolutely book with her again if we’re in the area. Highly recommend!
Megan was a pleasure to work with, and she took such good care of our dog. She was very attentive to communicating with us, and it was clear our dog had the best time with her! Megan stayed in our house and took really good care of our home while we were away. Thank you, Megan!
5 Stars – Amazing Sitter! Lexie was absolutely wonderful with Manna! She sent us daily updates and photos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear from all the pictures that Manna was happy, relaxed, and well-loved while we were away. She kept his food and water fresh, scooped his litter box daily, and even washed the sheets and towels before we got home. The house looked great when we returned, and Manna was in fantastic spirits. We would definitely book Lexie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
Leslie was truly wonderful. I fostered and adopted a very traumatized cat that had numerous medical conditions. My cat George, very shy afraid of people and animals. Leslie went above and beyond to make sure my little guy was taken care of properly. She was great with instructions sent beautiful picks. Leslie understood my cats character, overall disposition and background history. Leslie took care of my little guy like it was her own. I highly recommend Leslie taking care of if, sitting etc.. for your furry friend.
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!
Our cat had to get a gastrotomy a day before leaving and we had to scramble to find a sitter. Rhonda responded in minutes and promptly scheduled a meet and greet. She took excellent care of our cats while we were gone and made sure we were updated throughout, and was able to keep an eye on our cat post operation while giving the oral medication and small meals throughout the day.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Columbine Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Columbine Valley on Rover is $49.95 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 8,646 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Columbine Valley. 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 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 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.
