“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.”
“We were so happy to have Erika come stay with our dog! She was professional, easy to work with, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. She sent frequent photos and updates, and was quick to respond to our texts. And her flexible schedule meant our dog didn’t need to be left for any long stretches. We look forward to having Erika come back again!”
“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”
“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!”

“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!”
“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.”

We returned to a happy dog and a tidy home! We were worried about delays at the airports and April was willing to come to the rescue if it was needed. Thank you, April!”

I will 100% be reaching out to Anna again for future trips and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive rover!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Federal Heights
Erika was great! She sent photos and videos daily of a very happy and well cared for little dog. It was important to me that my dog stay in our house where she’s familiar and that someone stayed overnight with her that was willing to let her burrow in the blankets and snuggle with them. She’s a Chiweenie so her happy place is burrowed under blankets with a warm human. Erika also took care of our house and plants. An added bonus is that she works from home so she was here most of the day so my Lil Ting got lots of extra attention while we were away. The house was the same as we left it (we are very clean and tidy) when we returned. We were gone for 8 days. Highly recommend Erika for your little loved one(s).
McKenzie was so great with my dogs. Spent a lot of time with them during the weekend which I know they appreciated in my absence. She communicated with me throughout her stay with my beagles and I really appreciated the updates. My home was just as I left it when I returned. I will absolutely be using her again with my pups!
Miranda was an incredible sitter for our dogs. She was keep us in the loop the entire trip with pictures and updates on how they were doing. She stayed in our house and left it in great shape. Miranda was incredibly considerate asking if she could take the trash to the curb, where to put deliveries, and offering to change the sheets. We will absolutely be booking with Mirando again.
Brianne was amazing! Our two pups were very well tended to and cared for, as well as our house and two cats. Brianne was super communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and did a great job sticking to our dogs’ routine and making sure they were comfortable while we were away. If you need a great dog-sitter, ask for Brianne!
This was our first time using Rover and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Edrisa was absolutely wonderful. Our Westie has some separation anxiety so we’re trying to get him comfortable with new people. She had him warmed up to her within a day. Edrisa’s updates and photos throughout the day let me enjoy vacation knowing he was in such great hands. We came home to a clean house exactly as we left it. My husband and I will definitely be spreading the word. We can’t thank her enough and hope she’ll sit for him again!

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.
<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 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
