About: my name is Eleanor. I've had pets my entire life and for the past 12 years, I've started caring for others in addition to my own. I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. I’m currently working part time so i’ll have plenty of time for you pets needs and desires. I do offer boarding on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced in back yard and a very friendly golden retriever who loves everyone. She is also kennel trained if needed to be separated. I have plenty of toys and enrichments if desired. Will not be kenneled unless owner requests has access to the house. Pets are treated like family members
“Used Rover for the first time and couldn't be happier with the sitter i picked. She kept us on need to know basis everyday with pictures or comments. She also house sat and kept it very clean! I think she went above and beyond our initial agreement and i am so thankful for her help. She watched 4 bulldogs and all 4 were in great condition when we got home. I highly recommend Denise for anyone who is looking for an experienced dog sitter.”
“Lisa did a great job in watching my dogs Mercury and Hermes. Hermes was only 11 weeks old, so I was worried how he would do, but it was evident that both dogs had a lot of fun and were well cared for. Lisa took them hiking and carried Hermes when the hike was too far. It is evident that Lisa loves dogs and has fun watching them. I will definitely use her again when traveling.”
“Edyn was a wonderful Rover for my 6 yr old mini Schauzer. In fact, we've booked her again already. She's very prompt, sent photos and updates, and clearly loves dogs. Highly recommended”
“Erin was incredibly helpful looking after my cats! She agreed to house sit last minute and over a holiday week and made sure to take extra special care of my cat while he was recovering from an illness. She was very sweet and I will definitely use her again for my next trip!”
“Our dogs love Ms. Chris. She is professional and caring. She took time to walk and play with the dogs, provided daily updates with texts photos, which put us at ease. We will definitely book her again.”
“Amanda is the best!!! We are SO happy we found her. She has such a calm, gentle, and genuine demeanor that put us completely at ease while away on a sudden work trip. I have a lot of anxiety leaving my pup and it’s not easy to let a stranger in your home, but after one time meeting Amanda, I was calmed! She stayed at our home for 5 nights, offering photos and updates, going on walks and hikes, and tided up before leaving. Can’t wait to have her back!”
“I would highly recommend Jessie. This was the first time I’ve used Rover.Com but she was reassuring from the start that my babes were in safe hands. After the initial booking Jessie took the time to come meet my family and I to make sure we were all a good fit”
“Rebekah did a great job house sitting for us! She watered plants, brought in mail and newspapers as well as caring for our two dogs. Rebekah sent pictures and communicated daily with me which really helped me feel comfortable that my fur kids were in good hands. I will certainly use her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Rachel, your pet’s new favorite person. I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, from dogs to cats and everything in between. Because I’ve grown up caring for pets, I’m confident with all personalities and needs, shy, senior, high-energy, quirky, you name it. I recently relocated to Colorado Springs and work remotely, which means your pet gets tons of attention, a flexible schedule, and a calm, reliable companion. I can’t have a dog of my own right now, so Rover lets me do the next best thing, give local pets the same love and structure I’d give my own. What sets me apart: • Experience you can trust: years of hands-on care with dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. • Attentive + communicative: I send detailed updates, photos, and always follow your routines exactly. • Active + outdoorsy: your pup will enjoy fun walks, playtime, and plenty of enrichment. • Genuine love for animals: this isn’t a side gig; it’s something I truly enjoy. Whether your pet needs walks, care, or just someone calm to hang with while you’re away, I’ll be there. I treat every animal like they’re family. Can’t wait to meet your furry baby! 🐾 I go on daily walks, and also have a fully fenced, pet-friendly space where dogs can stretch their legs, explore, and safely play. Inside, my home is clean, cozy, and set up to be stress-free for visiting pets. I’m always supervising outdoor time, and I adjust the environment based on what your pet needs, whether they’re energetic, senior, shy, or social. I create a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I follow your routines closely so your dog or cat feels comfortable and secure. I’m attentive, communicative, and always keeping an eye on their needs, whether that’s extra playtime, slow introductions, or a quiet cuddle break. I make sure pets have fresh water at all times, get plenty of bathroom breaks, and feel at ease in my home or yours. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities.
“David is the best! Not only did he take wonderful care of our pets while we are away, he also took great care of our home. I think our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left! He was great at communicating and sent picture updates of the animals. Couldn’t have asked for better for our pets!”
“Maria was so wonderful! She kept me updated daily and my dog absolutely adored her. She took wonderful care of my house and went above and beyond my expectations. Highly recommend booking her!”
“Cassandra did a wonderful job taking care of our Foxy. She was incredibly patient and kind during Foxy's stay with her. We appreciated the updates and extra care she expressed during Foxy's stay. We would definitely recommend her!”
“House was cleaner than when we left. Dogs were very well taken care of and great communication while we were home. Thanks so much. Second time we’ve used Sarah and we hope she is available when we need sitting again in the future. Thank you!!”
“this was my first time using rover and Katilyn was absolutely amazing! I knew my dogs were in the best hands! I will be definitely using her again.”
“Bronwyn was absolutely fantastic in every way. She was very responsible, sent plenty of updates, and took care of my pup as I would. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
About: I have a deep love for animals, especially misunderstood or special-needs dogs. After caring for my own dog with IMPA, I’m experienced in medication management, gentle handling, and providing patient, loving care. I treat every pet as if they were my own child. I work full-time in an office setting 9am-5pm. I am available to watch your pet over the weekend where I am available 24/7. It is important to me that I am fully available while watching your pet. I live in a large home with many comfortable spaces for your pet. I provide multiple walks per day, constant snuggles and playtime. Since I do not have a fenced in yard, it is important to me that I provide ample physical exercise and outlets for energy
About: I'm Harmony, and taking care of animals has always been something I truly enjoy. I've looked after dogs and cats for friends and family—making sure they're safe, happy, and get plenty of playtime or quiet company, depending on what they need. Right now, I'm just getting started as a pet sitter and will be starting college classes soon, so I'm able to give your pet lots of attention and a reliable routine. I believe every pet deserves to feel like family and will always treat yours with care, respect, and warmth. I'm 19 and recently moved out on my own, so I really miss having pets around! Right now my schedule is very open since college classes haven’t started yet. This means I can spend lots of quality time with your pet—whether it's morning walks, play sessions during the day, or evening cuddles. Your pet will get my full attention, and I’m flexible to meet their unique routine. I'm looking forward to filling my days with furry friendship until my classes begin! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. Although there isn’t a fenced backyard at my home, I always use a leash for every walk or outdoor break, and I make sure each pet gets outside as often as they need. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, secure environment without other animals around, so your pet gets my full attention. I closely follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and any special care requirements. I’m always happy to send updates and photos, so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Florissant
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Florissant on Rover is $42.8 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 1,106 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Florissant. 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 Florissant 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 Florissant 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 Florissant 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 Florissant. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
