Kai was excellent with our two dogs. We were gone during tropical storm Debbie and she had everything under control. The house was in great shape when we got home and she had even offered to stay an extra night if our flights were delayed. We will definitely hire Kai again!

Debra did a Great job with our Oscar, she made me feel at ease leaving him in her care at our house. Also leaving him for the 1st time after being diagnosed with diabetes, Debra did an awesome job with his injections, his routine and text updates and photos. Definitely will be asking for her again.

Tatianna took wonderful care of my dog while I was out for the evening. She arrived on time, then walked him on one of the coldest nights of the year, gave him treats, and paid lots of attention to him. I will not hesitate to have Tatianna come back again.

She arrived on time and sent several photos of Chloe’s activities through the day. I highly recommend Veronica and will certainly request her again.

About: Anyone who knows me would first say, I have so much passion for Dogs and cats. They will be so well cared for in my hands. I work for home about 3 hours a day so I have plenty of time for my passion. Your pet will have the best day with me. I have a large screened in yard and we will take walks on leash as you would like. Or if I watch them at your home whatever you would like me to do I will do.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. While I may not have years of professional experience, I have cared for dogs for friends and families and always treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and care. Pet care fits easily into my routine right now because I’m on summer break and have lots of free time and flexibility. I’m available during weekdays, especially during the day, but I can also do evenings or nights if needed. I enjoy spending time with animals, so making time to care for pets is something I genuinely look forward to! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in my home or a client’s. I follow any routines, feeding schedules, walking times, and special instructions carefully so pets can stay happy and stress-free. I give them plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and supervision, and I always make sure they have a clean, safe environment. I also respect my client’s home and treat both their pets and space with care and responsibility.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve had dogs my entire life, so being around them has always been second nature to me. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me to dog sit, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with every dog I meet. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will always provide plenty of affection, exercise, and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pup is in good hands. I just graduated college so I have a lot of down time to take care of your babies. I would love to be able to be a safe place for people to leave their pets. However you like your babies cared for, I’m happy to accommodate! Whether that’s going for a walk, playing in the yard, or simply letting them out for a potty break!

Katie was absolutely incredible and I truly cannot recommend her enough!! From the very start, I could tell Luigi felt comfortable with her which says EVERYTHING!! The moment she got out of her car to greet us, he immediately took to her and that is not something he does with everyone. She provided so many updates and pictures which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. I never once had to wonder how he was doing. One of the biggest things that stood out to me was her honesty. Instead of just saying everything was perfect (which other sitters have said while I knew he wasn’t perfectly fine), she shared that Luigi definitely missed us. I appreciated that more than anything because it showed how in tune she was with him. Even better, she didn’t just leave it at that. She actively worked to engage him and get him moving which is so important for a dog’s mental well being. She took him on walks, paid close attention to his needs, and truly treated him like her own. You can tell Katie genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. Luigi and I are both so grateful to have found her!!!

This is our first time using rover. Karen I is an absolute angel! What a professional through and through. She kept us up to date with daily reports on how our pups were doing and got along with them perfectly. Our pups can be a bit high maintenance but no concern for Karen I. THE BEST! She took great care of our pups and our house too. The complete package ! We can’t wait to book her again! 6 stars if I could give them.

We are so thrill to have found Sara! She tended to our three small dogs while we were away. They were calm and glad to welcome us home! Sara was so kind to leave us a lovely thank you gift for choosing her. We have already booked Sara for an upcoming sitting job while we are away! Sara was extremely attentive, caring and her demeanor immediately calmed our dogs. If you are looking for someone to care for your pets, we highly recommend Sara. Both you and your pets will be at ease!

FAQs for House Sitting - Englewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Englewood on Rover is $75.77 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 858 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Englewood. 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 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.

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 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Englewood. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.
