“Andrea is just the sweetest caretaker. We have used her three times now and I can fully trust her with our furbabies! One of our dogs has a few medical issues, without going into a lot of detail these issues involve Andrea cleaning out our dog’s eyes quite frequently. She takes care of her eyes so well and gives her medicine when needed! I love the updates and pictures she sends me and I can tell by the pictures that our furbabies trust and adore her, too. Andrea is incredibly helpful around the house when needed (filling up our humidifier, unclogging a shower drain-thank you again for doing that, worrying about the dishes, and so much more) and we’re just so grateful for her. We took our chances on Andrea being new to Colorado and got so lucky!”
“Nicole is simply the best. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than her. She’s dependable, reliable, and responsible. I know when Nicole is there I can fully relax on my trip because my puppies are in the best hands. My go-to sitter!! ✨✨”
“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! ☺️”
“Kaedon did a great job from start to finish. Great communication, came by for a meet and greet. Great communication when we were gone and even dealt with some separation anxiety with our youngest dog. Dogs and house both look great and seem to be well taken care of. Thank you and won’t hesitate to refer you to others and to also reach out with any needs in the future. Thank you again!!”
“Ashley was amazing with my boys while we were gone on a trip! We even had some travel plans change for our way home and she was very accommodating. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs! I will be using her again!”
“Mario was great! He cared for our fur babies for 2 weeks. Our little senior guy is on meds twice a day. We always worry about him. Our young girl is so full of energy she needs daily runs to keep her happy. Mario took care of them both so well. We had total peace of mind the entire time we were gone. I would definitely use his services again! Thanks so much Mario!”
“Danielle is wonderful. She took our dog on lots of hikes while we were gone and left the house very clean. She’s super responsive and very thoughtful! I would love to have her watch our pup again.”
“Ericha was amazing with our animals! She went above and beyond to make sure all four of our pets and their very different personalities felt loved! She sent daily updates with pictures, took the dogs on daily walks, and spent extra quiet time with our shy cat to make sure she was comfortable with a new person in the house. We came home to a clean house and four very content animals who had obviously been treated with great love and care. We will definitely be requesting Ericha for our future travel plans!”
“Alison was the best and made our first Rover experience a success! She cared for both of our dogs so well, even one who can be a tad nervous around new people. We highly recommend her. :)”
“Edyn was great and my Bulldog loved her and her Cowbell. She did a wonderful job and is coming back tomorrow for a week. We are so happy with her warmth and care for our Bulldog and home. Thank you so much Edyn!! :)”
About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. For 6 years, I managed a professional dog boarding facility, where I gained extensive experience with everything from daily care and enrichment to handling different temperaments and special needs. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, giving me additional knowledge and comfort when it comes to recognizing health concerns and providing attentive care. I now work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to offer plenty of time, attention, and availability for your pets’ needs. Whether your pup needs walks, companionship, medication support, extra patience, or simply someone who understands them, I’m happy to help. My own 12-year-old rescue pup recently crossed the rainbow bridge. He was a reactive dog, and he taught me the importance of meeting dogs where they are, building trust, and creating a safe environment for every personality type. I have a genuine appreciation for dogs who need a little extra understanding and am comfortable working with pets who may be shy, anxious, reactive, or have other special needs. I do have a friendly cat and a younger child in my home, so for dogs who are reactive and unable to comfortably be around them, I kindly ask that services take place in your home where your pet can feel safest and most relaxed. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets and providing the same care, patience, and love I would want for my own. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to tailor my care around your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog thrives on frequent walks, needs extra potty breaks, requires medication reminders, benefits from a slower pace, or simply needs more one-on-one attention, I have the availability to provide consistent and reliable care. Because I work from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day rather than fitting pets into a busy schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and personality, and I’m happy to adjust my approach to help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic pups who need enrichment and activity to senior pets who need patience and a little extra support, my schedule gives me the flexibility to provide the kind of personalized attention each pet deserves. My approach to caring for animals is centered around patience, trust, and treating every pet as an individual. I believe animals communicate in their own ways, and it’s important to take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and needs rather than expecting every pet to fit the same mold. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel respected and cared for. Whether that means a long walk, extra playtime, quiet companionship, a slower introduction, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, I adjust my care to what makes each animal happiest and most comfortable. My experience has taught me that the best caregivers are observant, patient, and willing to meet pets where they are. I take pride in building trust with animals and providing the same level of care, attention, and compassion that I would want someone to give my own pets.
“Booked Keyona for a last minute trip and she was wonderful and very understanding. We sent updates and made it easy to focus on the trip without having to worry about my pets. I would definitely recommend and if the opportunity presented itself again, ill be booking with Keyona again.”
About: I love animals and I’m very responsible and trustworthy. I will always send pictures of my time with your pets. I am most likely available before noon during the week and weekends, I am active and can provide plenty of exercise and enrichment for your pets. También puedo hablar español. I’ve had a variety of pets in my life and I love all of them. I’m great with any dogs or cats whether big or small and strays or pure breed. You can trust me with your house if you need me to dogsit. I will not let anyone in that should not be there unless you give permission. I always have my phone with me so you can reach me at any time to check up on your dogs or your house.
“He did absolutely amazing with our pups and made sure they had plenty of entertainment, potty breaks, and medications. He was great with communication and I appreciated all the updates.”
“If I could put 10 stars, I would! The house was even cleaner than when we left. Our trip home had a few delays and Asmund offered to stay. And finally when we arrived home, there was calming doggie tv on to keep our Tucker entertained until we got back. I am impressed and will be using Asmund every time!”
“Peyten did a terrific job! Most importantly she took great care of my pup. She spent hours playing and walking her each day. She took great care of my home and gave constant updates. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Jamie did a great job dog sitting with our two older small dogs while we were away. They were well cared for and happy when we returned. She was very respectful of our house too. We would definitely schedule her again.”

cannot recommend Emily enough. She took amazing care of my dogs while I was away in the field, and having multiple dogs with different personalities and needs is not always easy. She was incredibly attentive, patient, and reliable throughout the entire time. She kept me updated, made sure the dogs were well cared for, and treated them like they were her own. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing they were safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while I was gone. When I came home, my dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. As someone in the military who can be called away unexpectedly or for extended periods, dependable pet care means everything, and she absolutely exceeded expectations. I would trust her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone compassionate, responsible, and genuinely caring with animals.
Andrea did such a wonderful job caring for our dog Pixi. She can be a bit timid with new people at first, and Andrea was so patient with her and it didn’t take my dog long to bond with her and be comfortable. She sent updates and videos daily which made me feel very reassured while being away from Pixi. The house was also very clean upon our return. We will definitely be trusting Andrea with our future bookings going forward!
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.
She was absolutely awesome! We have a very strict schedule for all three of our babies and she was able to stick to the schedule as well as ask any questions while we were away. Definitely look forward to making her part of the family and booking her again! She went above and beyond by sending us pictures of the babies as well as cleaning up the house before she left which we didn't expect lol she's awesome!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fountain
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fountain on Rover is $33.3 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 1,225 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fountain. 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 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.
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 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 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.
