“Debbie is an exceptional pet and house sitter! Given the flexibility in her work schedule, she took the initiative to come out and meet us and our dogs before we left our trip. This allowed us to walk her through their routine and familiarize her with our home, creating an immediate sense of confidence in leaving our dogs under her care. Debbie's warm personality, coupled with her thoughtful questions, endeared her to both us and our dogs right away. Throughout our time away, Debbie consistently provided daily updates, complete with photos, and maintained open communication whenever she had questions, demonstrating her commitment to ensuring our pets were well cared for. I really appreciated her proactive approach to keeping us informed. When we got home, we were delighted to find our home in pristine condition, if not even cleaner than we left it! Debbie's attention to detail and respect for our space was clear, reinforcing our decision to entrust her with both our pets and home. Given the positive experience, we have already booked her for our next trip! Debbie's professionalism, reliability, and genuine love for animals make her a top choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet/house sitter.”
“Edyn was a wonderful Rover for my 6 yr old mini Schauzer. In fact, we've booked her again already. She's very prompt, sent photos and updates, and clearly loves dogs. Highly recommended”
“Spencer responded to a last minute request, agreed to meet me ahead of the sit to meet my dogs and was prompt and professional. He kept me well informed daily with photos and reports. I would highly recommend him!”
“Maria is fantastic! We just moved to Colorado Springs last week and were eager to find someone we can trust and rely on to sit our pups while we are away and we found our person in Maria. 😃 She is communicative, flexible, tidy and the dogs just love her. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter for their pets!”
“Ashton was awesome. She took the time to meet the critters and learn about their daily routine before the date of the pet sitting which definitely made us feel comfortable having her take care of the place. She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and three cats. She sent us lots of adorable pictures and gave us updates on how they were doing while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Denise was wonderful. She was flexible with me when things were not working out as planned. She was suppose to come to our house to care for our dogs but due to some floor problems, we asked her if she would watch them at her house. She made that happen, which was a blessing. See sent pictures everyday sometimes twice a day. It was wonderful not to worry about our babies they were in good hands. I would highly recommend Denise and I will use her again. Donna”
About: While I am new to the app, I have a vested interest in pet care. In addition to my three dogs, I have a cat and two additional dogs that live on my property. I have been breeding puppies and providing training for the last four years. Training is not exclusive to the puppies but for new owners as well. I provide information of fresh food diets in relation to overall health. I am available for leash training upon request. I currently only work two days a week, averaging less that 20 hours. I have two teenagers who are also home and available to help as needed. We have a dog door that allows the dogs free run of almost a half an acre of property. I have a fully fenced yard that keeps in two large and three small dogs with no issues. There are five dogs on the property to keep yours company. They are all up to date on their shots and and all very friendly. All five have been raised with each other, kids and 2 cats.
“Cassandra did a wonderful job taking care of our Foxy. She was incredibly patient and kind during Foxy's stay with her. We appreciated the updates and extra care she expressed during Foxy's stay. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Ms. Chris was great with our two dogs! They can be anxious but when she came for the meet and greet they could feel her good energy and were comfortable with her. She did a quick overnight stay for us, and I would hire her again in the future. Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies, Chris!”
“We have total confidence in Kaitlin! We have used her services several times and feel completely comfortable leaving Blue with her. She is very loving and professional !!”
About: I’ve had both dogs and cats my entire life and I love meeting new pets. I am perfectly comfortable caring for any pet of any size or condition! I work seasonal jobs and travel around the country but I am currently on my off-season so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet! I would love to hang out with your fur babies and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I love to be outside and will give your pets as much exercise and stimulation as they need.
“Daniel was a wonderful sitter and houseguest while taking care of our pups. He was responsive and proactive with communication, questions, and sending pics while we were away, and we would definitely work with him again!”
About: Animal lover of all types and sizes. Flexible schedule for the care of your dogs, cats, and exotics. Veterinary technician experience of 2+ years with formal education. Extensive experience with bottle feeding and the attentive care of very young kittens. I have a very flexible work schedule, and I update my pet care hours weekly. I am normally available ANY day after 5:30 as well. Text me for special requests! I have fenced yard and spare room which is kept separate from my own pets. I also live in very close proximity to several paved walking trails, and would love to cater to wooded, unpaved trail environments as well. In your home, or on walks, i will utilize my veterinary experience to read your pet's emotional and physical state as well as your careful instructions to provide the utmost care.
“We are so grateful for Jennie. A last minute need over Christmas week and she took the best care of our dog. Masterclass! She provided timely updates, photos, and instilled confidence that our dog was being taken care of and loved for in our absence.”
“Amber was very supportive while my dog was having an allergic reaction to her food, and I was trying to get her eating again on a more restrictive diet. I felt so comfortable and confident leaving my dog with Amber during this time so I could still catch a flight for the holidays. Amber even did some training with her!”

I enjoy playing with them, going on long walks, running, and hiking, making sure they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I believe staying active helps dogs stay happy, healthy, and balanced. I treat every pet as if they were my own, always providing love, attention, and a safe, fun environment. Working with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care. I enjoy being active throughout the day, so I love taking dogs on walks, runs, and outdoor activities.

Debbie was absolutely amazing with our pup Oso! She was incredibly responsive and easy to work with and sent us plenty of updates of Oso while we were on our trip.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cripple Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cripple Creek on Rover is $30.68 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 1,091 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cripple Creek. 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 Cripple Creek 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 Cripple Creek 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 Cripple Creek 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cripple Creek. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
