“Mariah was amazing! She came to our house and watched our 2 dogs for 4 days and did a fantastic job! I got daily updates as well as pictures letting me know how the dogs were doing the whole time. She played outside with them and spent quality time with them! I knew they were in good hands while I was away. She listened to all of the directions and left our house very clean! I highly recommend her and will be using her again for future bookings! If you are looking for someone reliable and trustworthy, book with Mariah!”

“Hillary was wonderful!! Within minutes of meeting her for the first time before watching our pups, I knew they would be in the best hands! She is so friendly, personable, and kind! This was our first time using Rover and I truly can’t imagine how it could have gone any better. Already looking forward to having Hillary watch our pups again!”

About: Hey there fellow dog lovers!! My name is Bree, I currently live in Berthoud and am 37 years old. I have had anything in my home from Pekinese to labs to Malamutes so love and can handle all sizes and temperaments. I have had experience with senior dogs as my last large breed needed special care needing special food made and pills administered multiple times a day. I am a stay at home momma to a 2 & 4 year old who love jumping in the stroller and going on cruised with your furry friends! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! I can't wait to meet you and your four legged friend :) I am a full time stay at home mom to a 2 & 4 year old so we LOVE going on stroller walks & would love to bring your 4 legged friend along with us! I can do morning afternoon and evening let outs/ feedings or medications as well. I make sure to meet & greet and make sure the animals are comfortable with me before taking on a stroll. I always respect the animals comfort ability & if they are appearing tired we return home or in the case where it’s hot outside I make sure to try and pick a more shaded route!

“Sam was wonderful! She cleaned up after herself, communicated with us really well, and most importantly, loved and cared for our pup like we do. She was incredibly thoughtful and intuitive about his care, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands with her. We would absolutely have her back!”

About: I grew up taking care of and pet sitting a half dozen dogs between my own and cousins’ houses. I take pride in treating your pets like family and ensuring a good time is had by all. My schedule is open allowing me to take care of your dogs in your home, mine, or engage in a daily walk schedule, plan etc. I’m happy to oblige to the care of your pets in your home, but generally wouldn’t be boarding, so to say, animals in my own home. I have a vehicle outfitted with a safety net, as well as the experience to know that dogs can surprise you and it’s better safe than sorry. Leashes are constantly held and my attention is not often distracted from your pet while they’re in my care!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have plenty of hands-on pet sitting experience. I’ve cared for my brother’s two medium-sized dogs as well as my aunt’s and uncle’s dogs, including overnight stays. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also very active and go on daily walks—even in the Arizona summer—so your dog will get lots of exercise, fresh air, and love while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I work remotely Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide plenty of attention and care throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, making it easy to accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and lots of companionship. I finish work in the early afternoon, so my evenings are open for additional walks, exercise, and quality time with your pet. I do attend a fitness class for about an hour most days, but otherwise I’m home and love spending time outdoors, making it easy to keep active dogs happy and engaged. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a remote project manager, organization, communication, and reliability are part of my everyday job, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or staying overnight, I’ll provide plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and affection. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.

About: I went to FCCC and had worked with dogs for as long as I can remember. I love animals and will take good care of your pets! I am currently not doing anything for work so I am free any week day and some weekends. I am on a travel softball team so some weekends I will be busy. I live in the country down a long lane so we don’t have a fence, we just let our dogs run free. They are pretty trained but if you are not comfortable with this I can put your dogs on a lease or just watch them at your house.

We rebooked with Jenna for our recent family vacation. She is absolutely amazing keeping us constantly updated with our two dogs. One of our dogs has seizures and is pretty high maintenance. Jenna took on the responsibility with zero hesitation. Our two fur babies loved and we're looking for her the next day. She stayed at our home so both dogs were able to stay on their schedules and in their comfort zones. She kept the house in pristine condition. We will continue to book with Jenna in the future. A million thanks again, Jenna. ❤️

FAQs for House Sitting - Garrett

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Garrett is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 and $44 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 230 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Garrett. 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 Garrett 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 Garrett 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 Garrett 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Garrett. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.
