“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”
“Kimberly was very communicative throughout my time away and seemed great with the animals! I came back and she had cleaned the litter box without asking and all 4 animals were very happy and well taken care of!”
“Hanui was incredible with our pup. She made sure that Maple was well taken care of, provided regular updates and genuinely seemed to enjoy hanging out with her. You can tell she truly loves being around dogs. We will for sure look to work with Hanui again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Cassie for dog sitting. She was respectful of our home and left it neat and clean. Cassie checked in before leaving the last day. She was responsive to me while I was away. She sent pictures of my pups each day. When I got home my pups were happy. Thanks Cassie!”
“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: Hi, I’m Ava! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of pet sitting and dog walking experience. I’ve spent past summers working full-time with dogs and also volunteer at a shelter back home in New Jersey. Whether it’s a quick walk or extra playtime, I’ll treat your pup like one of my own—with care, attention, and lots of love! I have been dog sitting on Wag! for over three years and have a five star rating over there. Although I am new to Rover I have tons of pet sitting experience I work in person five days a week but am totally free on most weekends. I’d be happy to watch your pets just for the day or spend the weekend at your home spending extra time with them giving them lots of attention, playtime, and love while you are away! While watching your pets at your home I’m happy to water your plants, bring in your mail, and keep and overall eye on your place. I know it can be scary to leave your pets and home in the watch of someone else, but I promise to keep everything and everyone cared for.
“Anna was punctual, responsive and kind to our dog. She wasn't phased by his high energy needs and was happy to take him on walks and run. She was clean and respectful of our house. Thank you!”
“Tatiana was awesome. She was very communicative and detailed and my boys, who don't usually care too much for strangers, absolutely loved her. 10/10 can't recommend her enough.”
“Hillarie went way above and beyond with her care for our senior dog. We hadn’t traveled in a year due to the constant attention and care our dog required with medication, walks and multiple potty breaks. After meeting us and our dog, we immediately felt comfortable leaving Hillarie with our dog and home and were sure to book in advance. Of course, there is the added bonus and comfort of Hillarie’s experience as a Vet Tech and with her own dogs. However, it was the obvious attention to detail, along with the unexpected timely updates and photos that quickly put any concerns we had while traveling to rest — other then the possibility of our dog forgetting who were ;) We never had to ask Hillarie to do anything extra for us or our dog, as she was totally on top of it. We even had our trash cans, mail and packages handled without asking. We are so fortunate to have had the opportunity for Hillarie to care for our pet and highly recommend her to others. Don’t pass up this pet sitting option. We are sure glad we didn’t.”
“Erin was literally the perfect dog sitter. She was so good at communicating and responding, and I came back to happy pups. Couldn't have asked for better!”
“Melissa is amazing! My best experience on Rover, she was able to wear out my 9 month old puppy which is a tough task. Her communication was amazing and she left my apartment spotless. Highly recommend!”
About: “I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for animals in a variety of settings. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 1 year, volunteered at the Humane Society for 3 years, and have been providing trusted pet sitting services for 2 years. I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.” I'm currently working a full-time job Monday-Friday, but available early mornings before 5:30am and after 2pm, and then on the weekends to take care of your babies! “I’m experienced in administering medications, going for walks, playing in the yard, and even preparing special meals — whatever your pets need daily to feel happy, healthy, and loved!”
About: I'm a caring and responsible dog walker/sitter in the Pueblo, Colorado area. I have experience handling multiple breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have pets of my own so I understand the importance of keeping your fur baby in good hands! I am available daily throughout the week as often as services are needed. I provide care as early as 7am, even overnight and house sitting. I have a fenced from yard with 3 other fur babies and also a crate/6ft+ yard leashes. When I am in the comfort of your home I can adjust as needed!
“We found her last minute, and she truly exceeded every expectation. She was so gentle with my fur babies, kept me updated the whole time without me needing to ask, and made sure they were always comfortable and cared for. I absolutely recommend her and will be hiring her again.”
“Not only did Scarlett watch our dogs in our own home, she left the place immaculate and updated us on everything! My husband and I have two fairly anxious labs, and they seem very happy even though we were gone! I would trust her for all your pet needs.”
“Cami was great! She sent pictures of the dogs regularly with texts about them. The house was as clean as I left it. I will be having Cami watch our dogs again. 5 star experience.”
About: Hello my name is Kerstin! I’m just getting back on here to my Rover account because it’s time to find new clients! I had my clients for almost a decade now, and my regular clients have been loosing their animals due to old age and sickness, so now I’m looking for new clients to add to my list of regulars! I am originally a professional dog/cat walker/groomer/and sitter. I got into doing this before I made a Rover acct, through my mobile dog grooming clientele, and fell in love with it working with all types of animals especially dogs and cats. I've been professionally working with dogs/cats for a little over 9 years now, and I am absolutely in love with it. I have been certified to work hands on with the expertise in care, grooming, bathing, walking, and house sitting, and also what to do in an emergency situations. I am certified in CPR for dogs and cats and I will take care of your animals as if they were my own. I have three dogs at my dad's house that I take care of on a regular basis, and i love taking care and spending time with them. Im very accommodating to animals that have special need attentions. I have lots of experiences dealing with sick animals, and also administering shots in their legs. ( I’m a phlebotomist, that’s why the Vet trusted me to do injections) I was raised to always take care and leave everything I touch better than I found it. My schedule is open most days, so let me know when you need me and we will figure something out. I am flexible and i will love your pet when you are not there! So I’m currently on disability, so taking care of animals more than just my own would be easy for me, as I’ve been taking care of other peoples animals for almost a decade now, and that’s all I pretty much do, I take pride in taking care of my own animals, Bentley because he’s such a high maintenance pet, he is a rescue sugar glider, and since he doesn’t have a mate, I’m his mate. So my life revolves truly around taking care of animals really. I don’t believe in boarding other peoples animals, for one taking an animal out of their normal environment is very stressful on the animal and can cause severe health conditions like a seizure, or even just ruining the entire inside of the house from nerves, if the dog:cat gets too stressed out. When the owner leaves, the pet gets high anxiety because it thinks you left them, so one of my rules to abide by is to not change the dogs’ or cats’ routine off much from the owners routine if you were home. That way the animal(s) don’t get so stressed out

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain
Krista is wonderful! You can tell she has a genuine love for dogs and natural affection and care for them. She is a great communicator and very punctual. She did great staying in our home, kept everything tidy, and cleaned up before we got back. It was truly comforting knowing she was there with our pup in her space to keep her company, make her meals, take her out for walks or to the dog park, and give her all the love. Would highly recommend 💗
Our first time using Cherontae and we were extremely pleased! She was wonderful with our Dobies and they absolutely loved her! We were continuously updated with photos beyond our expectations. We will most definitely be using her in our future travels! Thanks again and again Tae!!!
Agustina is a wonderful pet sitter! She was always communicative, provided updates and photos, and was a joy being around our pups. Our pups seemed to warm up to her and be playful. We are glad we had a trustworthy person to attend their needs in the comfort of their home.
100/5 ✨⭐️🌟. Truly the best Rover sitter we’ve ever had! We cannot recommend her enough! She stepped up for us in the middle of an emergency and immediately extended her stay without hesitation. She took care of all 5 of our dogs, including a brand-new 12-week-old puppy and followed every single instruction to perfection. Managing a full pack is hard enough, but handling a puppy’s schedule on top of it? She made it look effortless. Every dog was happy, calm, and cared for. She’s incredibly reliable, easy to communicate with, and just such a genuinely cool, caring person. Our dogs adored her, and honestly… so did we! The peace of mind she gave us was priceless. If you’re scrolling through Rover trying to decide, BOOK HER. You won’t regret it. We definitely will be booking again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Fountain is $36 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $23 and $68 per night.

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 Fountain 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 Fountain 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 Fountain 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
