“Claire is an exceptional pet sitter! She was punctual, attentive, and my dog absolutely adores her. I was impressed by her reliability and professionalism. I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in her care. Highly recommend!”
“Kaylin was great!! She was extremely flexible when we had to unexpectedly extend our vacation by a day. She sent pics of our pups and always answered quickly any time I messaged her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!😁”
“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.”
“Evelina was the best! I wouldn’t want to hire anyone else to watch our pups. She has great communication and gives the dogs love that they deserve!! HIGHLY recommend!! She treats your pets just like they’re her own. 🤍”
“Scarlet, was very responsible, responsive, and trustworthy! She gave us updates throughout or trip; and never once were we worried about our dogs or home. We would most definitely recommend her if you are looking for a pet sitter :).”
“Mark is fantastic, he has watched our pups a couple of times now and will definitely continue to use him in the future. He is very communicative, sends pics and keeps us updated - so always feel at ease when he is taking care of our babies.”
“Daniel was amazing! Our girl Arya loved him and I felt so happy that there was someone there while I was gone that loved her as much as we do. He was always responsive and sent updates and pictures each day. He was really adaptable to her changing energy levels and made sure she was engaged! She can play rough sometimes and will use all 50lbs to her advantage and I felt safe knowing she was in good hands! He even tidied up our space while here, which was an unexpectedly thoughtful gesture. Absolutely recommend!”
About: I am a trained Veterinary Tech Assistant that worked in animal rescue / spay & neuter clinic. I also previously worked in a small, local pet store where I became educated and extremely fascinated with pet health and animal nutrition! I absolutely love spoiling and spending time with all critters, so please do me a favor and give me a call! I am very flexible, and will also admit that my dog eats WAY better than I do, so I’ll be sure to accommodate any of your best friends needs!! I am a stay at home mom, and I have a very flexible schedule. My rates are lower than most in the area as I am not able to do overnights in your home, and full disclosure - there’s a chance one of my kids might need to tag along with me during drop ins. I enjoy being outdoors rain (more likely snow) or shine, and I’ll be keeping the dogs company for a game of fetch or some belly rubs in the yard. I have a large un-fenced yard, and a comfortable indoor area for dogs to play or unwind. I can easily accommodate space for a crate if your pup has their own.
“Highly recommend Thora! She took such good care of Bree and kept us updated with photos the whole time. She’s super reliable, always responds to texts fast, and even gave Bree some extra long walks. Will definitely book her again.”
About: Hi there, dog parents! Thanks for visiting my profile. I’ve been caring for dogs for about 9 years and absolutely love it! 🤍 I’m a fellow dog parent to a 10-yr-old Mini Australian Shepherd named Tytan, and he is the greatest love of my life. I assure you I will treat your pet with just as much love. New to Fort Collins and excited to get to know the area better! I’m available for dog walks, drop-ins, and the occasional house sitting upon request. I value quality time with pets, and will be nothing short of attentive & loving to them! I know that every dog is different, so I always carefully examine their mannerisms and unique quirks to better understand their needs/desires. Playtime, food time, nap time, walk time - you name it and I’m there with every ounce of my attention. I also consider excellent communication and complete transparency with the pet owners to be of utmost importance. When I’m in your home, I will treat it with care. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have!
About: Lived with dogs and cats most my life. I love animals, but I'm mostly a cat guy. Recently looked after my friends pets over the weekend last month and realized I missed being with animals and would like to take care of more pets. I currently work a part time job, the job is 9am to 12pm most days. Rarely ever do 8 hours days. So I have a lot of free time on my hands and I have a good car so I can be anywhere at anytime. Most recent pet sitting I did, I went over to my friends home 3 times 2-3 hour stays everyday and would spend the night. Every visit I walked the dog and refilled the food. I would lounge with the cats and dog watching TV and play with them.
“Kai is amazing! Worrying about the dogs is always a source of anxiety when we travel but Kai completely eliminated that for us. She is constantly sending updates and photos and goes above and beyond. We just had her stay for over 2 weeks and our house was well taken care of and our dogs were happy as can be! I would recommend her to anyone:)”
About: I grew up on a small farm so caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have experience with dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, small pets. All of my pets have been rescues and truly are my children. I focus on personalized care, enrichment, socialization, adventures and not just feeding and potty breaks. I’ll follow your pet’s routine while giving them the same patience, attention and love I give my own. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I have pets of my own, so my days naturally include feeding, walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles and plenty of outdoor adventures. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to build my day around the animals in my care, whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, longer adventures or overnight stays. My home is pet-friendly with a doggy door and secure 6-foot vinyl-fenced yard for plenty of outdoor time. My neighborhood has lots of walking paths and parks. There is a small dog park within walking distance.
About: I've owned dogs from a very young age, from energetic dogs to lap dogs. In more recent years, I have taken on watching family and friends' pets. I've even been referred to others should they need a pet sitter. Over the past 5 years, I've been a regular dog sitter to a family friend with 4 dogs: 2 Chihuahuas, 1 French Bulldog and a very big and friendly Cane Corso. I'm comfortable and versatile with all types of dogs and have taken care of Doodles from time to time. I have experience in basic training and walking dogs, and currently have a handsome white Lab-mix puppy of my own. I'm interested in growing my experience and knowledge in pet care. And yes, I am that person that goes straight to the pets too at a social gathering. I currently work with Adams 12 School District in Westminster, CO as a paraprofessional, and often times throughout the year, I end up getting quite a few days off, including summers. Not only do I need my second job, but when hours are low there, I often have to find side jobs to supplement some income. I also work split shifts during the school year which gives me a block of a few hours during the late morning to spend however I choose, so why not spend it making some extra cash and meeting cute pets!? I am definitely open to caring for a pet in my home and have done so several times before. I have a large fenced in back yard and plenty of space. We also have a wonderful park down the street (Benson Sculpture Park) that's perfect for dog walks. At the beginning of this year, my fiance and I got Koda our Lab-mix. We've been working very diligently for the last 8 months training and socializing him with people and dogs. He does very well with both and just loves to play. I'm very open to caring at a client's house, and I assure you all instructions will be followed and your pet comfortable and happy.
“Nayla was professional, kind, and thoughtful about how we wanted our sweet older cat’s experience to go while she stayed at our house for this past long weekend. Our cat was so happy and not stressed when we got home, which was such peace of mind for us and him! We will definitely book her for our next trip.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Drake is $64 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $60 and $68 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
