“Marcy was fantastic! We would highly recommend her for her loving, caring and conscientious sitting of your furry loved on! Our dog felt loved and truly cared for. Marcy goes above and beyond the call of duty. We are so thankful we found Marcy!”
“We loved working with Patricia every step of the way: she was super communicative, easily picked up on our pups quirks, dramas and sweet spots, sent pictures during our trip and even met us at home to debrief how everything went. It was the first trip we've taken where neither one of us said "I hope everything will be okay" because Patricia was such a good fit that it was obvious it would be. An amazing, worry-free time away for us.”
“Grateful Amy was available and willing to house sit with a last minute request for my two dogs. Frequent updates with photos of the pups was much appreciated knowing they were being well cared for. I would definitely book Amy again.”
“Sarah is excellent! She took great care of my dog and cats while I was away, and I came home to a very happy crew of animals. Communication and photos were great. Will definitely hire her again and highly recommend!!!”
About: Being outside a lot, having a vehicle able to bring with and transport pups to really great spots and back. I do really love dogs a lot, but just a great attitude goes along way. Really just enjoy the experience, time, and friendship. With the amount of care and consideration I put into my daily life and routine, I aim to have the compassion and respect as you do for your pets and home. Always on leash unless other wise given an okay, fed at the particular times upon request, contained at home in provided kennels if need be. For me, keeps me busy, meeting everyone, exercise, and just great time shared. Pretty new to this website and area while giving me a chance to learn all about the things to come and destinations to be had. I have pets and watch pets for friends as they are fire fighters and police officers who work long shifts so along with my own pets I just bring everyone along I have a nice 3 bedroom with lanai and walk my pets two to three times per day. Once morning, afternoon and before bed. Feeding usually 2 times per day usually requires for special needs
“We just went to Europe for over a week over Christmas and left our precious (yet crazy) crazy pups with Alex! She did such a wonderful job taking care of our dogs and made us feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. She kept me in the loop with everything that was going on with our dogs, and she sent lots of pictures as well!! Our dogs are on quite a few medications and have a more complicated meal routine— she did a great job with that and got them to take their pills every day. She left our house in mint condition as well— everything was just as we left it and very clean! I also really appreciated her flexibility. We didn’t know if we would be home on time due to canceled flights, and she was willing to stay and help us out as long as we needed! It can be really hard to find a good, trustworthy person to take care of your fur babies and home when you’re out of town, so I am very happy we found Alex! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a good dog/house sitter.”
“Mark was incredibly conscientious and great with our animals. He took the time to do a meet and greet and gave us great updates. I felt like he went the extra mile in every way, would recommend to anyone!”
“Matt did a great job taking care of our dogs and home. He kept us up to date daily with pictures and texts how the dogs were doing. He was also very responsive to is as well. When we got home, the dogs were happy and well taken care of. We already rebooked Matt for our next trip. I highly recommend.”
“Danielle did a great job watching our dog. He is very attached to us and I wasn't sure how he would do with us gone for 5 days. She did a great job playing with him and making him feel comfortable while we were gone.”
“Rory was fantastic! 11ish days with my temperamental chi and his 4 kitties... I will definitely be keeping her on my shortlist for future trips! Rory sent pics and videos during my trip to help ease my anxiety of being away from the babies. I can tell my brood had a good experience!”
“Robin was phenomenal and made us feel at ease while we were out of town. Our pup was completely comfortable with her, and we came home to a spotless house. We’ll absolutely be booking with her again if/when she's available!”
“Allison stayed with my dogs for a few days and showed them so much love and attention. She kept me informed with updates while I was away, which meant a lot to me. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals, and my dogs seemed very comfortable with her.”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Sophia and I would love to care for your pet no matter how big, small, young or old. I live in Estes Park, CO. I have 6 years of experience working with animals. I have worked in a vet clinic before, dog sat for multiple families before, volunteered at animals shelters and a therapeutic horseback riding center. I have experience administering medication as well. I will make sure your pet has all of their (and your) needs met. I am willing to meet your pet beforehand just to make sure you find the right fit for them! Contact me if you have any questions or concerns. I am a part time photographer so my schedule is flexible! I update my calendar on Rover daily. I would love to work something out that fits you and your pets needs best! I have experience dog sitting for multiple families in town and most of them are repeat clients. All of the families have different needs to be met and I am accommodating to all concerns.
“Dylan is truly a phenomenal Rover - she took the best care of our 3 pups while we were away on vacation and we had complete peace of mind while she was with them. Couldn’t recommend her more - thank you again, Dylan! We appreciate you so, so much!”
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Peyton watch my 10 month old puppy, Cannoli over the weekend and I can’t say enough good things about her. From the jump, her communication was consistent, kind and reassuring which really helped ease my anxiety about leaving my puppy. Peyton clearly has a natural way with animals and Cannoli instantly took to her. She kept me updated with messages and photos (and even did some training and work with him!!!) which gave me so much peace of mind. It wasn’t just the updates though, it was the calm, caring energy she brought that made me feel like Cannoli and my apartment were in good hands. Coming home to a happy and relaxed pup told me everything I needed to know. I would absolutely trust her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive and genuinely wonderful pet sitter. Thanks so much, Peyton, for making this such an stress-free experience! 10/10!”
“Raquel and Andrew were wonderful! They went above and beyond to ensure our dog was well taken care of. They communicated often, followed Cheo's typical schedule and spent a lot of time with him. I was very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy dog and a clean house! They took care of the garbage and recycling, bedding and dishes!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Drake on Rover is $64.2 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 2,396 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Drake. 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 Drake 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 Drake 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 Drake 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.
