“Aurelia was absolutely wonderful. We needed a last-minute house and dog sitter for our three dogs, and she stepped in without hesitation. From the start, communication was great, she sent so many photos annd updates and it was immediately clear that she genuinely cared about the dogs and treated them like her own. I wouldn't hesitate to book Aurelia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. We're so grateful for her help!”
“Rebecca is a wonderful and extremely caring and diligent petsitter. I knew Marilyn was in great hands and Rebecca eased my mind every day with her level of care. I appreciate how well she looked after my old girl and would love to use her services again in the future!”
“Moriah took great care of our senior shih-tzu in our home. When we returned from our trip, our home was as clean and tidy as we left it and our pup seemed content. We would not hesitate having Moriah house and dog sit for us again if needed in the future.”
“Erika took great care of our dog and cat while we were out of town for a week. She sent us daily updates with pictures, and when we got back home the house was clean. We really appreciate the care and peace of mind she provided!”
“Ayla & Han are superlative care providers for our pets and home. We received regular updates with photos, and our pets looked relaxed and happy. Two of our pets tend toward the anxious side, so this is especially impressive. The house was left clean and tidy. They washed the sheets, remade the bed, and even fixed a toilet! I’m sure we will discover more; we just returned late yesterday. We highly recommend Ayla & Han.”
“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.”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“Bryan did a fantastic job pet sitting our two dogs and cat for an extended trip we took. The communication was excellent, and it was clear our animals received tons of love while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“Cindy was such a great sitter for our two dogs. She was extremely professional, communicative, and kind. She went above and beyond in several ways and I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have had many dogs throughout my lifetime growing up, taken care of newly born pups, and mother while in process of giving birth. Have been given dogs to train and have trained and found loving home for them. Rescued a 3 week puppy almost dying, put him in healthy position, and found family after 3 months. Always been really patient with animals because they do not have a voice therefore we as human have to make sure we can communicate with them.
About: Hi! I’m semi- retired, flexible and here to help! I am an experienced and dedicated dog owner with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. I have extensive experience with both large and small breeds, including strong, high-energy dogs and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’m confident handling everything from tiny companions to powerful working breeds, and I’m comfortable managing leash manners, reactivity, and high-drive personalities. Over the years, I’ve also worked alongside several professional trainers to develop improve upon training techniques and deepen my understanding of canine behavior. This has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, consistency, and reading body language — ensuring every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and supported. I currently have two dogs of my own who keep me on my toes! One required daily medication and eye drops for most of her life and is now blind, so I’m very experienced with administering medication, caring for special needs dogs, and providing the extra patience and environmental awareness they require. My other is a 90lb Rottweiler — a big, strong, lovable goofball — so I’m more than comfortable handling large, powerful breeds with confidence and control. Whether your dog needs structured walks, medication management, extra patience, or just lots of love and play, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize safety, routine, and plenty of affection. I’d love to meet your pup and provide them with a fun, safe, and caring experience! I’m currently semi retired so have flexibility to adapt to your dogs needs, routine and playtime! I love going for walks, helping with training, providing mental stimulation as well as exercise. My dogs are pretty “spoiled” according to my friends; they eat (home prepared meals) 3 times a day (not including treats) and get tons of attention. I’m happy to provide the same level of love, attentiveness and care to any and every dog I possibly can. 💜 I have a small fenced in yard and a comfortable cozy home. I do have two dogs but have the ability to keep mine separate if needed. If requesting home sitting services, I have done the same and fully understand the level of of trust, cleanliness and respect needed in these situations.
“Jennifer was amazing! She sent pics of Luna to let us know how she was doing throughout our trip. She even text me to make sure we got home okay after she had already left for the day. Will definitely be using her again in the future. ?”
“Great communication, pics and updates every day were very appreciated. It was a stress free experience for me and Monte was clearly happy to have her staying with him where he's most comfortable.”
“We am beyond thrilled to have found India as a pet sitter for our 11 year old pup! It was a bit of a last minute booking, but India was nothing short of spectacular! Aside from daily updates and photos, she made sure to give our girl a little extra TLC. Our pup currently has an issue with her leg, and India made sure she was safe and comfortable the whole time we were gone! We’re both high anxiety parents (with an equally anxious dog), and not once did we feel any worry about being out of town! Also - India left our apartment *cleaner* than we left it! It was wonderful coming home to a tidy place and a happy pup! Our dog was happy to see us upon return; but she kept looking at the door for someone else to walk in - and we know who that was! I can’t recommend India enough! 10/10 - no, scratch that - 100/10! Best pet sitter in Denver, hands down!!”
“I would highly recommend Aspen to watch your pets! Aspen spent 4 days at our house taking care of our black lab and our cat. During that time, Aspen sent photos & short videos each day, and descriptions of how our pets were doing. I was well-informed, and thus completely without worry the entire time we were away. Upon return, we found that Aspen had left us a detailed description of their adventures, along with anecdotes, and a sweet description of our pets' personalities. It was abundantly clear that they were in good hands. I would not hesitate to book Aspen again!”
About: I’ve taken care of newborn puppies all the way up to senior dogs. I’ve had a soft spot for animals all my life! This platform seems like a perfect fit! I currently work part time doing videography and travel all over the country so I plan to care for dogs in each place I visit! We have a small farm but it’s not fenced in. Our dogs run and play all day long and then just hangout. Lots to do around here as me and the dogs love to go explore!
“Megan was so great watching my giant often unruly puppy over 4 nights! She is communicative, thoughtful, and clearly really cares about the dog she is watching. I wasnt worried at all with Megan as she was great with updates and my pup had a fun time. Megan is everything I want in a dogsitter, I would definitely use her again, and I would highly recommend her! Thanks again, Megan.”
“While away on vacation, Mitch did an incredible job of watching over our four dogs as well as our home. From our initial meet-and-greet, you can tell that dogs love him. Even our skittish Pippin and Remi responded to him almost immediately. We felt they were in great hands which gave us much comfort being out of the country and he communicated with us daily through texts and pictures. The house was spotless and well cared for when we returned. Thanks to his care, Mitch is now our "go to" sitter!”
“Isabel did a great job taking care of the dogs and the house! She sent a lot of updates along the way with pictures and made sure they got food, water, and a bathroom break before leaving on the last day. We will definitely book with her again!”

Alec was a housesitter for my cat and two dogs - one dog is deaf and partially blind; the other dog is still very much a puppy. He was great with the specific needs for each dog and with the cat as well! He followed our directions and left our house clean as well. I would highly recommend Alec!

FAQs for House Sitting - Empire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Empire on Rover is $86.55 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 5,328 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Empire. 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 Empire 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 Empire 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 Empire 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
