“Abraham stayed in my home for two weeks, carrying for my reactive dog, 4 chickens, and my house plants. He was communicative, responsible, and really a great fit for our family. Please don't book him up, we love him!”
“Jessica was a great dog sitter for our dog Tofu! He needs a lot of attention and she cared for him for almost two weeks. She sent us regular updates and pictures and he always looked very happy and receiving a lot of love and attention. She also left the house spotless.”
“Amanda was amazing with our two large/medium dogs!! One has behavioral considerations and both take medication, and we didn’t worry about them for one second in her hands - even though we had no cell reception during our trip. She was friendly, clearly truly loves pets, and left our home spotless. We will definitely be asking her to keep our babies again!”
About: I’ve grown up with animals of all kinds in my home. While I currently only have a cat, I’ve been the owner of several dogs, a couple snakes, a bearded dragon and I’m not afraid of really any type of animal. I have a pretty open schedule, single mom to a couple of boys and pet mom to one sweet cat. I love snuggling any animal. So I live in an apartment but very frequently go out to trails and parks with my kids, I would have no problem including your pet!
“Brandi took great care of my two dogs. She communicated with me throughout her stay and sent pictures each day. She stayed at my house and everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Would book her again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and fish since I was 10. I’m reliable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved. I’m a student-athlete, so I’m used to managing my time and staying responsible. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I always make time for the animals I’m caring for. Since pet sitting is my main job outside of school and athletics, your pets will always be a priority. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions. I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime, walks, attention, and cuddles. I also keep their space clean and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.
“Sara is amazing! She takes her sitting seriously and loves my cats like her own. I’ve booked with her for both drop-in and overnights. She’s on-time, her communication is fantastic and I feel confident in leaving my cats and home in her meticulous care. I’m sure my cats love her as they wind around her legs immediately every time she comes over. Book with Sara today, you and your cats will not regret it!”
About: I have worked with dogs at different points in my life. I have had service animals in my home as well as pets both cats and dogs so I am well experienced with all sorts of animals and situations. I currently train dogs professionally through petsmart and regularly volunteer at the humane society! Hello I’m very enthusiastic to work with you and your dog! I have very open availability which means I have more time to spend with you pup. I have worked with dogs for a long time service animals as well as pets. I focus on positive reinforcement and encouraging good behaviors over punishing negative ones
“Victoria was fantastic with my pup! I was very impressed by her professionalism, and could tell my dog had a great time with her. She was timely and very attentive to my dog’s schedule and needs. Definitely recommend!”
“Audrey did a wonderful job pet-sitting our 13 year old dog and tending our houseplants while we were away on vacation for a week. She was very responsive to our requests for updates and photos via text and also didn't hesitate to ask questions about anything she was unsure about. The house was in perfect shape when we got back. Would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and ages. What sets me apart is that I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just a calm companion, I’m committed to providing personalized care and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m a college student on summer break with a completely flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable care, walks, check-ins, and plenty of attention for your pets throughout the week. I always prioritize keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and lots of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel happy and cared for while their owners are away.
About: Since I was young, I've participated in 4-H. During that time, I learned how to care for many animals such as sheep, horses, chickens, cats, and dogs. Since I've raised livestock, I have experience administering medications when needed including pills, shots, and some bandage wrapping. I have pet sat for many years, during which I cared for a variety of species including, livestock (of all kinds), horses, poultry, dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles and guinea pigs. I'm a full-time college student at University of Idaho. During the school year, I can see your pets in the mornings and afternoons/evenings. Pet care is a priority for me; we can make a schedule that works for your pets and for me. During weekends, I can do more visits and walks throughout the day. Need something more during the week? Feel free to reach out and see if I can make something work between classes! To care for your pets in their home I familiarize myself with the space as quickly as possible in order to ensure a smooth transition after you leave. Once you're gone, I spend time with your pets to keep them happy and entertained. I review all provided instructions to ensure the best possible care for your animals, including any timing for food and medications. I'm happy to adjust my care style to fit individual pets as needed.
About: I grew up around dogs, they are my best friends, I have a five-year-old doggo named "Something-Liquid" who I trained myself. He is my father's dog's son. I love him with my whole heart and I will love and care for your dog the same Luke 7:12 KJV. I am flexible with pricing, so if you need adjustments just reach out and let me know! REPEAT CUSTOMERS ARE SUBJECT TO LOWER RATES I work during the week as my dog Something Liquid's babysits the house. I come home in the evenings and then it is playtime with the doggos! I have a fenced backyard with room for play, I have an ambitious four-year-old doggy so your dog will never be alone. We have a dog door, during the day so there is always access to outside! I also have a 42-inch crate that's door remains open if your dog prefers to chill out or in crates. it is just a fun experience.
“Elizabeth was so wonderful! Will be making her our regular sitter for sure. She even took care of our cats, fish, and chickens, which allowed me to travel with total peace of mind. Her attention to specific instructions was impeccable. The cats and dog seemed so content when we arrived home.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Estes is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Estes
We would definitely book Amanda again! She took the time to get to know us and our high anxiety dog, learning her quirks and committing to winning her over (which she totally did - I think our dog was sad to see her go!). Amanda sent pictures and daily check-ins while we were gone for a week; she was patient (with our dog and her parents, first-time Rover users), easy to work with, and followed our instructions to a T. She took great care of our dog, as well as our house and plants. :) We had a great experience!
We couldn't be happier with our experience! Hannah stayed at our house with our dog Conor, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. Conor absolutely adored her — which honestly says everything. She was super responsive leading up to the stay, prompt with updates throughout, and even took Conor on sniff walks (anyone with a scent-driven dog knows what a labor of love those are!). We came back to a happy pup and zero stress, which is all you can ask for! We'll definitely be booking Hannah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 139 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Estes. 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 Estes 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 Estes 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 Estes 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 Estes. On Rover:
- 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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.
