“Sarah took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent us several check-ins along the way and was especially thoughtful with one of our dogs who gets anxious during thunderstorms. She also left our house neat and tidy. We'd definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Taylor was an excellent communicator while we were away. He provided consistent updates and was incredibly patient with our moody pup. I loved the photos that he sent during his stay, it was great to know that our pets were comfortable with him and thriving while we were gone.”
“Dylan is the best!! She stayed in our home with our two very active dogs for a full week. She stayed in touch daily with written updates and fabulous pictures of our fur babies. We returned to a house that was cleaner than we left it. Dylan also cared for outdoor plants as well as my seedling garden that needed daily checks for water and light. She took great care of our dogs and our place with amazing attention to detail. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Brenna took care of our 18 year old cat who needs meds 2xs/day and I was comforted to know she was in good hands. I got regular updates and pics of her looking very happy. Will definitely book her again as she is clearly an animal lover and takes her pet sitting job seriously and wants the best for the animals she cares for. Thank you!”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Leandra! She was professional, responsive, and clearly passionate about animals. She followed all the instructions I provided and I received regular updates including text messages and photos which really put my mind at ease. When I returned home, my cat seemed happy, healthy, and well cared for — and my home was just as I left it. I will definitely hire Leandra again in the future!”
“Sasha was so sweet to our pup, Gus, and kitty. Gertie. They just loved having her stay with them. She sent pictures showing how they were doing so that put us at ease knowing they were having a good time. They were in great care. Sasha also helped us out on short notice which was so kind of her.”
“I cannot say enough good things about Kevin. When we did our 1st meet & greet Louie can be over-protective of me especially when it comes to men specifically. Louie did not even bark, he immediately accepted Kevin who has a very calming, chill vibe with my dogo. We had to take an 8-day trip out. of town, and Kevin was responsible, and caring towards my 11-year Chocolate Lab. He was a pleasure to work with and we are booking him again, he even was willing to pick. us up at DIA when our plane came in. I highly recommend Kevin for all your petsitting needs he truly connected with Louie and there is something to be said about that. So happy we found him!”
“Ben waa promt arriving to care for our 3 month old puppy at pur hotel...aside from him suffering a puppy scratch, they had a great afternoon. Fritz was fed/watered/pottied/walked/played with and generally well cared for, for 6 hours! We give Ben ????? (5 paws/stars)!”
“Awesome! Couldn’t be happier. She was even able to stay an extra day when our flight was canceled. She took fantastic care of our dog and our home and I would hire her again anytime. So fortunate we found her.”
“For situations when our dogs need long term overnight care; Madison is quite simply perfection. Our dogs love her. My wife and I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
About: Hi! I’m Olivia — an energetic and caring sitter who truly enjoys keeping homes and animals safe, calm, and well cared for while their humans are away. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs and routines. I also have experience tending houseplants and gardens, ensuring plants are watered, healthy, and thriving while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, maintaining routines, or offering companionship, I treat every home, animal, and plant as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide you with peace of mind and a truly cared-for home while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my life right now—I'm a seasonal farmer, so winter months give me a lot of open time and flexibility. If I'm petsitting for your loved ones and your home, I can provide them lots of affection, care, and quality time doing their favorite things, whether that's lounging in the house or hiking in the sun and the snow. Whatever their pace, I'm happy to match it and make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time. I get to know each pet's routine and personality before jumping in, so they feel comfortable with me quickly. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and any meds, and I pay close attention to their energy and mood so I can adjust as needed—extra patience for the nervous ones, extra playtime for the energetic ones! I send photo updates so owners can relax, and I always leave the house just as tidy as I found it.
“This was our first time having Sarah watch our girls, and she was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home for four nights and took such great care of them. She sent us pictures throughout the day and followed up in the evenings to let us know how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that they got plenty of attention and playtime because when we got home, they were happy and relaxed rather than wound up or anxious. Sarah took great care of our home and, most importantly, our girls. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. We will definitely be using Sarah again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!”
About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.
“Katy always goes above and beyond! My cat is so happy when she stays to watch her. She sends pictures and videos. She left the sweetest note and little gifts. She easily follows instructions to get in and follow food regiment. Thanks Katy! You are always my #1 choice”
About: I have grown up around dogs. For the past 13 years I have fostered 36 dogs of different ages, breeds, and needs. With these dogs, I have potty trained, obedience trained, and socialized them with others, then found them the perfect home. I am currently a student at CU boulder, since I have a car, I am able to run by the house at least every 2 hours. I have classes 9:30 to 2:30 with large breaks and staggered starting and ending times. Unfortunately, I do not have a suitable housing situation this year to be housing animals. Hopefully next year I will be able too. I can only offer walks and in house jobs.
About: Hello and thank you for your time and consideration. I recently sold my home in VT, US and I'm setting out on adventures and travels. I am a traveling pet sitter. I've recently completed some very successful pet sits in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, and Colorado. In the new year, I will be back in Virginia and then onto New Mexico. I enjoy matching my love of traveling with my love of animals, and enjoy meeting new friends as well. I have a son who lives in Boulder, CO and a daughter who live in Lafayette, CO. My son has a new puppy who I have sat for on numerous occasions, and my daughter has three kitties that I have also sat for as well. I love animals and enjoy the comfort they bring along with those special moments. I am a retired professional with years of experience in my profession - I was a public school teacher for over 30+ years. I am a never smoker. I only tell you this so that you get a sense that I am a responsible individual with life experience in taking care of a home, as well as taking care of beloved pets. I used to have a black lab named Mollie who passed away and I still carry her dog tags on my key chain to this day (growing up, we also had several shetland ponies). Mollie was a very special puppy. As a loving pet owner I'm sure you understand. Your furry family members are just that, and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would welcome to care for them according to your instructions. I have had many experiences caring for pets of all ages, including those very active youngin's, those with a little more years under their belt, and those in need of medical attention . Walks, etc. would be according to your direction and their energy levels. Thank you again for considering me, and I hope that you find me favorable, and if you have any questions, I'd be more than willing to speak. Please be sure to check out my reviews. I am proud of the care that I provide to my pet friends, as well as the lovely homes entrusted in my care. Sam My daily/weekly/monthly schedule is pretty flexible. I am a traveling pet sitter, so my time is pretty much dictated by my location, availability and my clients. My schedule: Micanopy, FL (4/14-6/14); Lakewood Ranch, FL (6/23-8/1); Green Valley, AZ (8/5-9/4); Albuquerque, NM (8/8-8/21)...more to post later. According to my experiences, clients are very specific about the care they would like to have for their family pet(s). Usually they leave me detailed instructions highlighting feeding schedules, walking instructions, play likes/dislikes, medication schedules, and any other instructions needed for me to provide the best care possible for their specific pet's needs.

FAQs for House Sitting - Eldora
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,561 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eldora. 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 Eldora 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 Eldora 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 Eldora 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
