“Kaitlyn did an amazing job taking care of our cat and dog. She sent a lot of photos and updates each day to ease our minds. Kaitlyn took our dog on outings to get her puppy energy out. It was amazing. From a home standpoint, she kept everything clean and even took out the trash/kitty litter and put all of her laundry in the laundry room. I will hire her again.”
“Felecia was attentive, communicative, and thoughtful. I will definitely use her again and recommended her to a neighbor. It’s so nice to not worry about your pet when on vacation!”

Would definitely recommend Mary Sue and he will use her again in the future!”

She was very easy to communicate with, sent plenty of pics and updates, and left my house so clean and organized. She washed my dog’s toys and water bowls and washed and folded all the sheets and blankets etc. I will definitely have her watch my dog again she is very very great and I really recommend her for anyone needing a great dog sitter while you’re away on a trip!”
“Andrew is a very caring, compassionate sitter. He is also responsible and took very good care of my new pup. He took time to give her socialization and love. I’d highly recommend him.”
“Mitch was great with our recent rescue. Our pup had only been in the house 2 weeks and Mitch handled our dog with poise. There was the usual alert barking one might expect, but within a minute our dog was fine approaching him, receiving pets, and in less than 5 minutes our dog was on the rug laying down quietly. Mitch knows dogs, I am very comfortable with him watching our dog anytime.”
“Cameron was great! He was very easy to work with and my doggo loved him. He left the house perfectly clean. I unfortunately had to cut my trip short so he didn't watch my dog for the full time, but I would definitely trust him house sitting again!”

“Angie went above and beyond when we had a challenging previous sitter. I trust her 100% in our home and with our dog. Our dog is happy and safe in her care.”
About: I have boarded small dogs (10-15 lb) for weeks at a time. I'm very attentive to keeping a schedule but also flexible if things go awry. Currently working remotely and part time so have a lot of availability throughout the week. I don't prefer weekends but am willing to take care of your pets on weekends. I live in an apartment complex in walking distance to multiple parks. Taking your pets out on walks will be no issue. As for boarding, I will clean up after myself and leave the place better than I found it.
“Kriste stayed with our senior dog while we went out of town. She is easy going and responds promptly. Our dog started having tummy trouble a few days before we went away, but Kriste handled the situation with no complaints or concerns. The tummy was all good when we returned. I was worried our little guy might be stressed and slow to warm up to her, but she won him over quickly. He was happy and at ease, with no signs of stress when we returned home. She left the house in great shape. Thanks Kriste!”

Breeanna watched our pup Eska for the third or fourth time (can’t remember lol) but she is the best! We never worry on our vacation knowing our dog is in great hands. She’s awesome with consistent updates and our dog loves her - she’s always so calm when we get home. Don’t hesitate to book Breanna if you want a reliable and trustworthy sitter who really cares for your pup :)
Tim is a superb pet sitter! Certainly among the very best. He has a gentle nature and my dogs loved him. The house was impeccable when we got back. Even with my younger dog still in a very mouthy chewy phase he managed her very well. I would definitely book him again!
We just got back from 8 nights away while Shaylyn watched our crew of two cats and two dogs. There were a variety of needs, directions and personalities, but everything went super smooth and we came home to everything just as we left it. Would definitely recommend. Thanks Shaylyn!
Amy was absolutely wonderful! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took excellent care of our pets, including our diabetic kitty who requires insulin twice daily. Her communication was fantastic throughout our trip, with regular updates, pictures, and videos that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She was attentive, reliable, and genuinely caring, even going above and beyond to make sure everything at home was taken care of. It was such a relief knowing our furry and scaly family members were in such good hands! We came home to happy pets and everything in perfect order. We would absolutely trust Amy again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter. Thank you, Amy!
Chelsea has stayed at our home a couple times and each time we return to happy animals and a clean home. During our time away, Chelsea is always very communicative and sends us daily pictures with a daily report. We appreciate her very much, and so do my girls.
We had Felecia stay with our dogs for 4 nights. She sent a us pictures every day . It was very uneventful and the dogs were great when we got home. She took them for an extra walk and I'm sure gave them lots of attention when she was there. Our house looked exactly like we left it and everybody was happy. We don't leave them often and we were a little nervous but no worries!!!! Thanks Felecia!!!
Julia is the absolute best! She takes such good care of our girl Kaia with weekly walks, and took amazing care of both our pups and house while we were gone for over a week. It was such a relief knowing everything was handled while we were on vacation, and we came home to a sparkling clean house and two happy dogs!
Brittany was amazing with our elderly dog. We received pictures and videos each day and knew he was in great hands the entire time! My husband and I really appreciate how stress free she made the whole experience and how respectful she was of our home. I would definitely book with Brittany again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Englewood is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $91 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 Englewood 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 Englewood 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 Englewood 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.
