“Zara was magic with my dogs! One equally greets everyone with major barking but he was so calm meeting her. She gave great reports and updates abd asked great questions. We will look forward to using her more in the future!”
“Bailiegh was an amazing dog sitter! She was attentive, communicative, and always quick to respond. When unexpected road construction blocked access to our home, she immediately called us and worked with us to find a solution without missing a beat. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable hands. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and would absolutely love to use her again in the future.”
“Chloe was incredible. She stayed the weekend with our 8 month doodle and she cared for our pup so well. Communication was a breeze and she left our home absolutely spotless. I would HIGHLY recommend Chloe to anyone.”
“Ava was amazing watching after our 10 month old puppy Bear! Ava came to meet Bear prior to watching her, which we really appreciated since Bear is still learning the ways of the world as a rescue puppy. Bear is a high energy puppy and Ava entertained her constantly with her toys and fetch! She also sent pics almost every hour which we really appreciated. Highly recommend Ava to watch your pup!”
“Samuel did a great job with our pets. He was very responsive whenever we reached out. Pets were well cared for and our house was in great shape when we returned. He is knowledgeable about pet sitting. I would recommend him in the future.”
“Karina was great! She came over before my trip to get to know my dog and his routine. She sent multiple pictures of my dog on walks and happy and playing ing the yard. I would definitely hire Karina again.”
“Olivia was very easy to work with and I came home to a very happy dog! She took great care of my place while I was away and Mecca seemed to be very content and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her!”
“My pups love Carley! She took amazing care of my dogs, sent me pictures each day with a recap of them wrestling and being silly so I wouldn't miss them as much. You can tell she genuinely cares for the animals she looks after.”
About: I have worked for a company called Mountain Paws & Claws Pet Services for a little over 3 years. I provided in home pet care in the form of both overnight stays and drop ins. I also helped pet parents with dog walks! I have experience with all sorts of dogs with all sorts of personalities. I am experienced with high anxiety/stress dogs who need a little extra attention/warming up to new people. I also have experience with cats, and various farm animals. I would love to bring my experience and love for animals to Fort Collins! I am currently a college student, so I have plenty of time over the summer to watch your pets! Once school starts back up, I will be available in the mornings to walk/check up on your animals, and again in the early evening. I do not mind doing overnight care during the school semester. I will care for your pets in exactly the way you would like me to. I know all pets are different and need different care based on their personalities, so I will listen intently to what your pet needs/wants and perform accordingly. I will make sure that your pets feel the same love and have just as much fun as when you are home!
“This is the second time Adrienne has watched Gadget (our pup) and Spodey the tortoise. She is always prompt and a good communicator, and we come home to everything in order. Thank you!”
“Jade was so awesome to work with! Quick replies and was so patient with us. Our dog had to have surgery a few weeks before we left on our trip and she was more than willing to step in and assist with not only her baseline needs, but her additional surgical issues too. We checked in beforehand to see if she would be willing to transport our dog to one last follow up vet visit...and it was a non issue! We got daily updates with photos and progress. We were able to enjoy our vacation just that much more knowing all was well at home. Speaking of, she took great care with our home and was more than willing to water plants etc. Thanks Jade!! Red would love to hang with you again for sure.”
“Aaron was an absolutely STELLAR friend to our animals for what was actually quite a hectic time in our lives. Between a recent move, starting new jobs, getting married in 7 days - she was an excellent communicator, retained information about our pups and their routine like a pro, and even left our home better than she found it. My (very large, young, high energy, anxious) dogs have been through a lot of transitions in the past couple of months and when we came home they were more relaxed, happier than I’ve ever seen them after a weekend away. HIRE HER NOW!!!”
“Julianne was phenomenal! She took amazing care of my pups and house for the week. Great communication and regular updates. She even shoveled my driveway and corner sidewalk after a surprise snow - totally above and beyond. Highly recommend and will definitely book again.”
“Jasmine did a great job pet sitting my dog, Bowie! She went out of her way to send me photos and updates and was overall great with communication. She made me feel very at ease and took good care of my dog and my house while staying here. Bowie really likes her as well. I would definitely use her again for pet sitting and would recommend her to others as well.”
“Lewis was a wonderful dog sitter! Our dogs were well taken care of, and he left our house clean and tidy. He provided ample updates so we didn't have to worry about our dogs while we were away. He also watered some plants for me. We'll certainly use him again!”
About: I am a compassionate animal caretaker and have worked with a variety of four-legged friends! I believe that a pet is family and deserves the best care possible. I have two dogs at home, and work with animal care professionally. I have about a decade of experience now working with domestic animal shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, and captive wildlife. I am Fear Free Certified which simply means I am equipped to put animal welfare above all else. I love to engage animals and I believe offering enough mental and physical stimulation is key for a healthy pet. I am a detail oriented and caring person, and I show the same love to your pets as my own! I prefer to provide care in the home the animal is already comfortable with and am happy to commute within Fort Collins or nearby. I am very open to working with any special requests you might have. I can provide medications and training as instructed. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your animal family! I will give your pets enrichment, playtime, medications, meals, or exercise as needed. I will meet with you prior to providing pet care to discuss the specific needs for your pet! I generally prefer to offer services in the client/pet's home where the animal is already comfortable. I can provide meals, potty breaks, reinforce ongoing training efforts, and offer enrichment/stimulation and playtime. We will meet and discuss the specific needs for your pet prior to beginning care!
“Kyleigh was great. She sent us pictures of our cats and she warmed to them very quickly. When I came home it was as if the cats didn't even know my wife and I were out of town! I would definitely ask Kyleigh to watch my kitties again. She's highly recommended.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Fort Collins is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Collins
Olivia took attentive care of our corgi and kitty for a week with just over a weeks notice at a reasonable rate. Really helped resolve the last minute anxiety of a travel opportunity in a tight window. Very helpful in the house after staying overnights for pup care. She’s a busy and bright lady, but took time for daily emails and pics - greatly appreciated!
Raquel and Andrew were wonderful! They went above and beyond to ensure our dog was well taken care of. They communicated often, followed Cheo's typical schedule and spent a lot of time with him. I was very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy dog and a clean house! They took care of the garbage and recycling, bedding and dishes!
Alexa watched my two dogs, including one senior dog with medication needs and mobility issues, six chickens, and large garden while I was on a two week international vacation. She did an incredible job, was very proactive, and very communicative. I highly recommend Alexa and will absolutely use her again.
Kyleigh was top-notch! She stayed with our 10-year-old Aussie (who still has lots of energy) while we were out of town (and out of cell coverage for part of the trip). She sent regular updates and pictures. When we arrived home, our dog was in excellent spirits, and our home was neat and clean. I definitely recommend Kyleigh.
Jade is fantastic! What makes her fantastic? Highlights: Excellent communicator, fully reliable and trustworthy, genuinely kind, and of course, a superb friend to my dog. Until this week, Jade had done multiple drop-visits and walks for my dog. This week, for five days, she stayed at my home while sitting my dog. I did not worry about my dog a single time while I was away and that is priceless to me. When I returned home I could not believe the spotless and seemingly untouched condition that she left my home. Jade earns ten stars out of five!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Collins
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Collins on Rover is $44.4 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 1,663 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Collins. 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 Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
