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
“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 amazing and so easy to work with. She made me feel at ease while I was out of town. I know she treated my animals as if they were her own and I highly recommend her!”

“Chris was wonderful. She responded quickly to our initial request and was very easy to communicate with. She gave us confidence that she would be a good match for our dog who can be a bit timid at times. Chris stayed in our home and we felt very confident having her stay over. Would highly recommend Chris.”

“Simply put, Leah might’ve been the most communicative, thoughtful and caring petsitter we’ve ever had. During the busy holiday season, she kept our pet company and made sure we had all the latest updates and photos to prove it. Will most definitely be calling her again… and you should too!”


“Kept me informed to dog loved her and appears the feeling mutual. Wouldn't hesitate to call on Allison again. I got hung up on return by a few hours and she stayed with my furry housemate till I got home.”

About: I’ve loved animals since I was a child. I’ve had multiple pet rabbits since middle school, and I currently have a dog. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and bearded dragons for friends or family members. I volunteer at a dog rescue shelter and have also volunteered as freshman and sophomore in high school. I have experience with veterinary assistance from working as a Patient Care Technician at a Veterinary Clinic. I am happy to discuss the best time for all of us so your pet has some company and care while you’re doing hooman things! I will make sure to give lots of care and love to the pets and maintain a safe and loving atmosphere. I always give all the love to any pet as if they’re my own. I always will send updates on what your pet is doing with photos!
“We had a wonderful experience with Autumn watching our dog, Bandit. We came home to a clean & tidy place plus one happy pup. We appreciated receiving pictures, reassuring that bandit was having a great time and looked content. We would absolutely recommend Autumn’s services and look forward to booking again in the future!”


About: I provide comforting care when you can't take your fur babies with you. I give peace of mind so you know your pet is having a positive experience with me and that your home is safe and secure. I understand that each pet is different and has routines and needs of care which I will always follow. Having had pets of my own, I appreciate the individuality of each animal and feel confident in giving them the space they need or the affection they desire. From me they will always get what they need and feel cared for. I have had the opportunity to care for large and small dogs, a cat who people were afraid of but who eventually happily coexisted with me. I work full time as a remote worker so I can provide in home pet first care with ease. My work and schedule is flexible, which allows for pet care to be added into my day with little disruption to me or the pet. When I am with a pet in their home, their routine and needs come first. Besides the instructions or guidance I am given about the pet, I observe and engage with the pet to learn about them and make them comfortable and happy while I am in their home.
“Danielle sat for us the last 9 days while we were out of town, taking care of our house and 2 pups. Did a great job! The dogs and the house were well taken care of, and everything was in perfect shape when we returned. Excellent communication, and our girls were never left alone longer than 3-4 hours at a time. Exactly what we were looking for. Thanks Danielle! We're looking forward to more sits in the future!”

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.
About: I love animals! I got a dog for my 8th birthday after much asking and even a recent bite from a cousin's dog (I was still learning animal cues). My dog was my responsibility in every way and I stepped up to train, walk, clean up after, and bathe him. He was like my brother and my best buddy, and a great teacher -- he liked to jump the fence and roll around in smelly stuff :) I also grew up with a cat at every stage and enjoy their company and love, too. Don't ask me if I'm a cat or dog person-- I can't choose! I started pet sitting in middle school for family and friends and have dealt with the challenges and reward of knowing and loving many pets. They are each unique and many require a graceful approach, which I am attentive to. I love and care well for pets and they give me the same tenfold. I like to think of what they need best, whether that is a walk or enrichment, or simply some company or pets. Even a bird or squirrel video sometimes fits the bill :) I work M-F 9-5 but have flexiblity with work from home, so I can stay at your home or come there for a morning, mid-day, or afternoon/evening walk, feeding, and quality time. I make sure to follow guidelines to a T, including keeping the dog away from unwanted greetings or guests. I make sure they are attended to, gates are closed, and safety requirements are fulfilled for each unique member of your family.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Drake on Rover is $64.2 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 2,316 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.
