“Thank you so much for watching the dogs for the weekend. Felt very comfortable having you here and came home to happy dogs! Loved all the pictures and videos and you sent. Very nice picture! Thank you again!!!”
“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!”
“Nancy took great care of our dog. She sent frequent pictures of the two of them snuggling and of Tater paying eager attention to her. She clearly knows a lot about dogs. She also took great care of the house, bringing in packages for us and leaving the house as near and clean as we’d left it. Highly recommend!”
“Adrienne is always a great and reliable sitter! She takes awesome care of my two dogs and sends frequent updates and photos so I’m kept in the loop. I’d highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Danielle sat for us the last 9 days while we were out of town, taking care of our house and 2 pups. Did a great job! The dogs and the house were well taken care of, and everything was in perfect shape when we returned. Excellent communication, and our girls were never left alone longer than 3-4 hours at a time. Exactly what we were looking for. Thanks Danielle! We're looking forward to more sits in the future!”
“Zach was SO good with Bally. He took her on multiple walks and spent a lot of quality time with her. He also took the extra step and kept an eye on things at our house while we were gone on vacation. Will 100% rebook! ?”
“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.”
“Michael was great. We have only had our 2 year old Golden Lab for a couple of months and he is still a bit unsettled and a handful but Michael was up to the task. After the first day we felt very comfortable that Michael would be able to handle him!”
“My dog loves Kyleigh! She spends tons of time with her when she sits for her, keeps me updated every day and sends great pics. This was her second time staying with Rue, and it's such a relief to know she's in good hands!”
“Elisavt set a new bar of love for our dogs, communication, photos, cleanliness, safety. I highly recommend her services and we will be working with her for many years to come.”
“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!!!”
“Chris is great with my pup, goes above and beyond what we need and keeps us updated at all times. Great communicator, loves our dogs and sets the standard for great sitter.”
“Brook has been so patient and amazing with my animals! I went on a long trip with little to no service and had some anxiety leading up to the trip. Brook went above and beyond getting to know my animals prior to me leaving and took amazing care of them while I was gone.”
“This was my first time using Rover and I was a little apprehensive, both just about the process and about leaving my dog for vacation for the first time. Kayla made sure I had nothing to worry about. She started by being willing to do a meet and greet and a test run visit to make sure my dog was ok with her, then during her stay she sent daily pupdates and great photos of my girl. She was communicative, reliable, and my dog is just as happy as ever. I look forward to having her care for pup again!”
“Amazing individual! She was so kind, caring and communicative with my pup while I was gone. Went above and beyond his usual routine. And also left the place spotless. Truly a wonderful experience for my pup and I as I was supper nervous to do something like this. Will be using her services in the future!!”
“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.”
“Sophia was fantastic! Our first time working with her and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. She was communicative, followed our directions to a “T” and even included extra check-ins to make sure the dogs were fully care of. We’ve used a lot of caretakers on Rover and she is definitely on our A-list.”

Zara did a great job dog sitting for my two Chows. One of my dogs is very anxious around new people, and I’m always worried about leaving him with other people. But Zara handled him very well and took great care of him while I was away. Would absolutely recommend, I will be trying to book Zara for whenever I go out of town!
Sarah did an absolutely amazing job watching our dog for TEN nights! It was a last-minute situation because of a cancellation, and she went above and beyond. She even stayed an extra night when our flight was unexpectedly canceled. (An absolute life savor since we just moved here and don’t know anyone who could stop by on a whim!) We are SO incredibly grateful. Thank you, thank you, Sarah!! ❤️ We couldn’t have asked for someone better to take care of our pup!
Lew has stayed at our house twice now to keep our two dogs and three cats company while we were away, and we can definitely rest easy knowing he’s there! My dogs can be high energy with new people, and he handled them very well. I appreciated my morning updates on how everyone was doing while we were gone, and he went above and beyond what I expected with preparing the house for our return. We will absolutely be using him again and will be recommending him to all our friends! Thank you, Lew!!
Olivia is a gem. Great care of dogs and house. Communication and pictures were timely and reassuring! Dogs were exercised and entertained and happy when we came home. I will definitely rebook with Olivia in the future! Confidence in her made our family get a way relaxed and fun. Thanks, Olivia
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hailey was wonderful! She took great care of our pets and home while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was in good hands. She was communicative, kind, and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared about our animals. We really appreciated her willingness to check in, ask questions when needed, and make sure everyone was cared for. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house, which is exactly what every pet owner hopes for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Hailey again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. Thank you, Hailey!
Wanda is a wonderful person and a great dog sitter. She covered us on relatively short notice for a weekend (2 nights), staying in our house and taking care of our two high energy Goldens. She has excellent communication and the utmost respect and care for the space, the dogs, and us. We recommend booking with Wanda and would love to do so again in the future!
Natasha was great, very responsive. She took good care of our pups and sent lots of updates and pictures. We loved the enthusiasm of her kids for playing with our dogs. She handled both our overly enthusiastic, needy dog and our cautious, hesitant dog really well.

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 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 1,631 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.

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.
