“Anneline was wonderful with my pups! She kept me posted with pictures and my apartment was very tidy and my dogs were happily exhausted when I got home. Highly recommend!”
“Claire watched our pups for a day while we visited ouray. We were able to go for a long hike, enjoy orvis hot springs and have a meal without worrying about our senior girl and our 8 month old puppy. She was sweet with them and I would absolutely book her again if we are in town.”
“Shelby was great!!! My dogs were very happy to be with her. I loved that she had no issues giving my dogs their medications. She is easy to get in touch with and was so considerate while staying in my home. I can't wait to have her watch my dogs again.”
About: In addition to owning and devoting my time to pets for decades, I am a retired special education teacher with plenty of love and patience. As a teacher, I provided dog therapy in my classrooms for nine years. I have cared for cats and dogs of all ages, including puppies and elderly dogs with health concerns. I also have experience with chickens. I am retired from teaching, and have thoroughly enjoyed spending more time with animals, while also providing a much needed service to pet owners. As a pet sitter, I offer in home pet care while families are away, and usually do only one job at a time so I can dedicate myself to your loved ones! I am open to pet sitting most days of the week and have had both short and long term pet sitting experience. I offer pet sitting in your home, which means your pets do not need to leave their environment or routine while you are away. I will follow any directions to a T!
About: I grew up on a cattle ranch raising all types of animals: hereford cattle, dairy cows, horses, suffolk sheep, dogs & puppies, cats & kittens, rabbits, and chickens. I'm comfortable caring for all types of pets. I'm working from home and set my own hours and schedule for getting my work/projects done. I am fortunate to have that flexibility right now and daily am out walking, hiking, or biking. I would be delighted to take your pet with me for plenty of sniffs and exercise! We have a large fenced yard and large deck that dogs love to explore! My husband may join me and your pet when his schedule allows. Regardless, I'm able to be physically present for your pet during the entirety of the time you need me to be. I am completely focused on your pet alone and only allow one pet at a time so they have individually focused caretaking and love!
About: I have taken care of pets since I moved back to CO and love to get back to helping out families and their pets too. I am currently working part time. My job allows breaks to run home if need be and if not dogs are welcome at my work place. I don’t have a yard but love walking or going to the park. I am willing to stay at a client’s home as well too.
“Rebecca was incredible! She accepted a last-minute request to stay for a long weekend with Lola, and I am so grateful that she did. Rebecca is a great communicator and made sure Lola was comfortable and happy all weekend. I would highly recommend Rebecca for your pet and house-sitting needs.”
About: I started out my pet-sitting business by taking care of people's home gardens when they left town. Many of my clients had pets and asked me to pet-sit while they were away. Over the years I have obtained many loyal clients who feel confident that their precious babies are being looked after with lots of loving attention. I am a caregiver at heart and I show my love by engaging with the animals, belly rubs, long walks and by anticipating needs! I take detailed notes of dietary requirements, allergies and other medical conditions and will very carefully cater to every need. I quickly bond with animals since I give my full love and attention and and go above and beyond to make them happy! I always miss the animals when I have to leave them! Thank you for your kind consideration!
About: I absolutely love spending time and playing with dogs. I have 2 dogs at home in Chicago and I adore them. We go on walks, play catch/fetch outside, go on hikes, and spend lots of time outside. Since I have moved here I am missing so much dog time and would absolutely love the opportunity to meet and spoil your dog in the best ways. I have dog sat and house sat for many people who continue to ask me to dog and house sit when they need it. I am currently employed by a wilderness therapy program where my schedule is 8 days on 6 days off and would love nothing more than to spend time with dogs on my off shift! No matter the age, I am happy to dog sit! I have a 14 year old dog and a 2 year old dog at home, so I have experience with both older dogs and younger dogs.
“Hope was a wonderful, professional, and detailed pet sitter. Autumn was basking in the sun happy as a clam when I got home. Autumn has some anxiety and doggy boarding is very stressful for her so it is great to be able to know she is at home way more comfortable and well taken care of. I will definitely be hiring Hope again.”
About: College athlete that works part time, allowing me to give ample time, exercise, and attention to all your pets needs, in a home close to a network of trails and parks. I work part time a quarter mile away from my home, which allows me to make sure your dog gets the attention it needs even on workdays I have a yard and nearby parks and trails for your dog to enjoy. I can provide crate time to your dog upon request, if not they will be watched and able to relax on furniture
“Caitlin took wonderful care of our dog in our home while we were away. We received updates and photos and came home to a happy pup and clean house! We would recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
About: My partner and I have been working with animals since we were kids. Emily grew up on a farm and has raised all sorts of animals, including showing horses. My father is a veterinarian, so I grew up around animals and worked in the kennels while I was in school. We're comfortable dealing with various behavior quirks, giving medications, and we've always got vet advice on call if an emergency were to arrive. My partner and I work at the hospital, but we have slightly different shifts. There are usually only 1-2 days per week where one of us isn't home. When we are both at work, our shifts are staggered enough that we can get home every 4 hours, in addition to morning and evening walks. We are both extremely active people, so our dogs get multiple hours of walking/hiking every day when we're not working. We have an acre of land with two separate fenced-in yard sections, which gives us the ability to divide dogs of various sizes, or those who may be timid/hesitant around others. The lower level of our house has a separate entrance, so there's ample indoor space as well when the weather is too hot/cold to be outside. Pets will be indoors any time that we are not at the house to directly supervise. We walk our dogs multiple times per day, and have trail system access 50m from the house, so we're not reliant on just leaving dogs in the yard for outdoor stimulation.
“Charlotte was the best dog sitter I have used on Rover. She went above and beyond to watch my two dogs Timber and Moose while staying at my house while I went on vacation for 10 days. She was very good at communicating with me about how things were going and put me at ease with pictures and updates. When I came back home both the dogs were happy to see me and seemed so stress free and happy like I had barely been gone. Charlotte took them on long walks and runs and kept my house very clean for my return. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, kind hearted, and knowledgeable person to look after their pets and/or home!”
“She was amazing! Sent us pictures and great at updating us on our old large breed dog that has trouble getting around! I was so worried about him initially but they did wonderful together. Highly recommend!”
“Faith provided excellent care and communication while we were away! She was wonderful with our quirky rescue dogs and we came home to happy, relaxed pets. Thank you Faith!”
About: I currently own a 5 year old Rottweiler, and an 8 month old Cane Corso puppy. Before them, growing up I never wanted kids just wanted a petting zoo of fur babies. Unfortunately due to not having a big enough house, my zoo is on hold. But in the meantime, I get to enjoy other puppies and watch them anytime at my convenience. I’m good with watching any dog big or small! Currently I work full time at a hospital 3 days a week. Any other time I’m free! I work 12 hours a day. I have a schedule in about 3 months in advance, so I’m okay to book to your schedule and work something out. When watching other fur babies, I like to ask owners their day to day schedule. That includes what time they wake up, what time they like to be walked at and what time they normally have the zoomies to play. Their daily schedule shouldn’t change only because their owner is gone on vacation.

Excellent pet/house sitter! Knowing Clair was taking such great care of our dog made all the difference in how relaxed I was on vacation. Her conscientiousness, cleanliness, and extra attention to our home were really appreciated as well! I will continue to book Clair and highly recommend her. :-)

FAQs for House Sitting - Crested Butte
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Crested Butte on Rover is $66.6 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 128 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Crested Butte. 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 Crested Butte 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 Crested Butte 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 Crested Butte 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.
