“Rosie is awesome!! She took great care of our 8 month old puppy and our home while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and had great communication throughout the stay. She would check in with little videos and pictures of our pup and kept us in the loop about timing and everything. We did not have to worry or wonder at all with her here. And when we returned, our house was super clean even though it had snowed and our backyard was muddy. Above and beyond. Thank you, Rosie!”
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies :) she walked Bee, made sure she took her medicine, and gave them both plenty of snuggles. I would absolutely rebook if needed <3”
“Erin was great! We had her looking after our cat for a long weekend and she was super communicative and left the house in better condition than when we left. At one point she mistakenly thought she broke something and told us right away and offered to pay for it, and that level of personal responsibility alone will have us booking her again. Our cat is also a really anxious type and it's obvious when he hasn't been well cared for as he'll stop cleaning himself, and we returned to a very happy and fluffy kitty. We will 100% have her back in the future.”
“Patricia was kind and patient with Rocket and he's not the easiest dog. My house was immaculate when we returned and she even stripped the bed and offered to wash the sheets. A big thumbs up from both Rocket and me.”
“Katelyn is very sweet. Came by for a meet and greet a few days before she stayed over and took care of my 8.5 year old dog, Cooper. She is very gentle and quiet and animals respond well to that. She sent me updates over the weekend on how Cooper was doing. I came home to a happy dog and a neat and tidy place, I would book her again!!”
“Stephanie is a very attentive and communicative pet sitter. She sent me multiple pictures and detailed updates throughout the time she spent with my boys, giving me peace of mind while being away. She dropped in as often as she said she would and followed directions. My pets were happy and healthy when I got home. Highly recommend and will use again.”
“Our dogs were immediately comfortable with McKenna when they first met her. We had to take a last minute trip and she took great care of them! We can tell our dogs really enjoyed their time with her. I would not hesitate to book her again! Thank you!”
“Taylor did a great job taking care of our girl while we were out of town for the weekend. She had great communication and sent pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Brooke did an incredible job with our 3 dogs while out of town. Brooke stayed at our home and left it beautifully clean! Our dogs were happy and well cared for during our time. Brooke went above and beyond with pictures, notes and most of all care. She gave her utmost to our dogs and to keeping our home well kept. We are most appreciative and will call Brooke again. Thank you so much Brooke!”
“Sydney is amazing! Our (rescued) dog is incredibly codependent and naturally anxious, so she does best to have someone with her when my husband and I are gone for an entire day - Sydney helped watched her, and when we came home our pup was nice and relaxed - a fantastic sign that she was well loved! We’ll definitely be booking Sydney again :)”
“Danielle was great! She took amazing care of our dog Bean while we were gone for a 10 day trip, and she made us feel very at ease. Lots of photo updates, attentive care, and overall just a great experience.”
“Nice is amazing. Our sweet Jax seemed so comfortable with her, which put us at ease given his age and the fact that we were so far away from home. She sent a bunch of pictures and updates; we never worried once, which was so comforting. Nice treated our home and our dog as if they were hers. Next time we plan a vacation, we’re definitely contacting Nice!”
“Janelle is hands down the best sitter I’ve had! She completely erases any unease I have about leaving my dog when I have to travel. She communicates frequently and truly knows how to care for my best friend the same way I would. I will (and have) rebook with her again and again!”
About: I've had all kinds of pets my whole life, cats, dogs, rodents of all shapes and sizes! Picky eater? No problem! Frequent walks? I got you! Senior with meds? I can be sneaky! Is your baby clingy? So is mine! No matter the pet, I do my darndest to make them as feel as loved as I can while they're missing their parents!! I graduated in May 2025, and have been Unemployed this whole time, so I have all the time in the world for your babies, weekends are a little harder, and I'll need more time in advance to plan, but I can do it!! I sadly can't bring animals into my home (reactive cat), but I will gladly take care of your animals in their space in your home, whether that means an overnight stay while you're out of town, or a check in every few hours!!
“Braelyn was great and gave us updates daily on Willow! She asked us questions and made us feel at ease leaving our pup with them! Followed directions and even water our plants! They went above and beyond.”
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Federal Heights is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Heights
Katy was a great dog sitter for our two labradoodles. She was warm, attentive, and clearly a genuine animal lover from the moment we met. Her communication was excellent, appreciated her prompt responses. One of my dogs can be shy around strangers, but warmed up to her quickly. I also appreciated how proactive she was when our tree was damaged by the truck; her help with the solutions and the cleanup went above and beyond. I recommend her services to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their dogs.
Kat was great with our two large dogs (one is a puppy). She left the house in great shape and the dogs seemed happy and well cared for when we got home. She has a real love for animals and you can really tell that she loves taking care of them! We would definitely recommend Kat.
John & Chantal were fantastic. Last minute before we left our dog had to get some pills and a cone from a medical procedure and they took fantastic care of him with pills and keeping us up to date with his healing process. They also doted on our cat and gave them both lots of love and cuddles while we were away.
She took excellent care of our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with her service. When we got home, our dogs were incredibly happy and clearly well cared for. She always kept us updated with photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She even took the time to do a meet-and-greet visit beforehand and was very thoughtful and detail-oriented in everything she did. We will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Federal Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Federal Heights on Rover is $53.39 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 9,030 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Federal Heights. 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 Federal Heights 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 Federal Heights 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 Federal Heights 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.

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.
