“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”
“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!”
“Patricia was wonderful! She went above and beyond in taking care of our pets & home. She was very communicative and we never doubted that our girls were in good hands while we were away. We would highly recommend Patricia as a housesitter and will definitely be booking her again! Thanks Patricia!”
“Jon & Serenity did a great job house sitting / watching our dog Ella Mae. She's 14 and isn't great controlling her bladder. Serenity did a great job of getting her outside when she could and cleaning up the pee pads when she didn't make it out. The communication was good. Would use them again. Thanks, jjm.”
“Erin is amazing! She was great at communicating updates everyday and sent super cute pictures of our dog. She is very responsive and responsible and I was totally relaxed on vacation knowing she was there. We would definitely book her services again and will recommend to others!”
“My girls absolutely adored her! They were well taken care of. I got all the fun updates and pictures. My two dachshunds can really be a handful but they warmed up to Margie so fast. I definitely will use her again in the future!”
“Jeffery was great with our pets. He sent pictures every day and he let me know how they were doing. Our pup loves him from the first time they met to when Jeffery dropped off the key- Chip was always excited to see him!”
About: I have had all kinds of animals from birds, lizards, guinea pig, fish, cats, dogs and rabbits, your pet is more then a pet they are family and here we treat them like family with love and care. At this time I have lots of time to give your family members the time and attention required to help them feel happy and thrive. When they stay with me they are more then just your pet they are someone’s family member and deserve all the attention and protection as if they are at home. I am very cautious when taking dogs out and on walks.
“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!”
“So glad that Carissa was available to watch my babies for a long weekend! She was great with updates and pictures and I felt really good knowing she was there with them. She took wonderful care of my babies and my home, leaving my place so clean and nice. She’s a gem and I will absolutely use her again! Thank you Carissa! 🙏”
“Sydney was a lifesaver for me and my baby! I had a week long biz trip and had a friend stopping in to feed him in the mornings and evenings and spending up 30-45 mins with him each time, but she could not stay the night. I had tried boarding him when I had a week-long overnight biz trip before, but it created sooo much stress on him. A couple of days into my trip, I viewed the video footage and saw him howling and whimpering through the night after my friend left in the evenings and it broke my heart. So, I knew I was going to have to find someone immediately who could stay the night with him. I had another week of overnight travel the following week and couldn't stand the thought of him crying and being so lonely. I was so, so fearful of leaving my baby with a stranger, but Sydney calmed my fears as she was very sweet and gentle with Cody and loved on him a lot! He even followed her around and snuggled up on the sofa with her the first night she arrived and thereafter! Although I had only requested her a few hours before I needed her, she showed up at the last minute as promised and took such good care of my baby and treated him like he was hers. For the first time in days, he slept all through the night and didn't once wander around crying and whimpering...well, not until Sydney left the next morning for a few hours. That was new behavior in the mornings, which meant he was already attached to her after one night! I was so elated and happy! Sydney is very reliable and professional and so sweet and adaptable. Cody and I feel so, so lucky and blessed to have found her! She has absolutely changed both our lives!!!”
“Maribel was incredibly attentive and communicative! Our pup is leash reactive on walks, and we felt completely secure leaving her with him. We would absolutely use Maribel again!”
“Anna was great housesitting Ozzy and Coco! She was timely for meet and greets, sent advance communication, and made sure she thoroughly understood our instructions. Ozzy had stomach issues while she was here, and she took everything in stride! She also got some adorable photos of them!”
“Alicia is excellent! Watched our dogs over a weekend for us and took them on multiple walks, played with them in our backyard, brushed them, and sent plenty of update of pictures so we could see how much fun they were having with her. We would love to have her watch our pups again the next time we are out of town!”
“Felicity did a wonderful job! I genuinely felt like she cared for my pets as if they were own and she sent me so many pictures !! I will definitely utilize her in the future and I hope others do too ! 🥰”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Federal Heights is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Heights
McKenna did a fantastic job caring for our 2 dogs while we were away. She was prompt with her arrival to our house and a great communicator in general. She sent us pictures of the dogs and they were clearly very happy and comfortable with her, even our dachshund who is in a bit of a stranger-danger phase. Our house was clean and tidy when we came home. We will definitely be using McKenna in the future when we need help.
My wife and I have a blind husky who is very shy, Patricia has been patient with her and allowed her to open up on her time. This is the second time we have used Patricia and Kiara looks so much more comfortable every time she sends us a picture! I love how communicative she is and appreciate all the updates we get. A disabled pet can be hard to be away from, but when Patricia watches her we feel very comfortable in knowing she's getting properly taken care of and loved!
Erika did a wonderful job with my puppy. She was on time, communicative, sent videos and photos, followed care instructions, and my puppy was so happy to see her. Coordinating with Erika was very simple and she was super accommodating to my requests. I would definitely book her again.
Maria and her husband Omar took such amazing care of Odin! Exceptional communication, thoughtful updates, and total peace of mind knowing our pup was in good, experienced hands. They left our home spotless, too. We’ll definitely be calling them for future trips!
Brandon is the BEST! Our dog sitting hero, our favorite person, and our dog’s favorite person. We unexpectedly had to find a new dog sitter while we were out of the country and Brandon swooped in like our knight in shining armor and saved the day. We truly can’t say enough good things about him. He is communicative, thorough, responsible, detail-oriented, and genuinely loves dogs. Our dog is very anxious and Brandon went above and beyond by carefully administering her medication, keeping a close eye on her, and making sure she stayed safe and comfortable. We are beyond grateful for everything he did and would recommend him without hesitation. THANK YOU, BRANDON!
Miranda is so wonderful I almost want to gatekeep how great she is. She communicated so well with us before even our meet and greet and then confirming before our trip and the day before we were supposed to return. This was very helpful as we were of course super nervous about leaving our babies and overwhelmed with the trip in general. We did choose to board our youngest pup to keep the house less stressful for everyone and we think that was the perfect balance. Miranda was understanding that we had to order more bags for the liter robot and also helped us when we had our poop scoop service come and they needed the dogs contained for their visit. She even wrapped the pups in blankets and watched movies with them when it thundered to keep them calm. Coming home, our dogs were happy to see us but not in distress from our absence like they have been before. Usually they whimper and won’t leave our side for days. This time they were happy to see us but they were also very calm, like they knew they wouldn’t be alone for long. Our only regret is not having the chance to make our home more like a vacation for her while we were on our vacation. 💜
This was the first time I’ve left all my babies at home for an extended period of time and Brianne did an amazing job at caring for them and making me feel at ease. She was very attentive and careful regarding care instructions, medication management, and sticking to their routines. I got regular updates with pictures and tidbits of their days. She was very professional but at the same time treated them like they were her own. Highly recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Federal Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Federal Heights on Rover is $54.39 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 8,997 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.
