About: I have been pet-sitting for friends and family for about 8 years and have worked in pet care for 4. I worked as a dog handler/attendant ata a dog boarding, daycare, and training facility where I cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels (along with the resident ranch cat). I also worked as an Animal Care Specialist at a pet store where I gained experience in taking care of fish, small animals, birds, and reptiles. I work from home between 8am-5pm from Monday through Friday but I am fully available during evenings and weekends! With additional notice, I can be available for short periods of time on week days as well. I respect all rules set for the home and/or pets I'm caring for and will keep the space neat and tidy. I treat every animal like they're my own while respecting the boundaries and expectations set by pet parents! I love going on walks and spending my day hanging around animals.

“Kat, watched our cat for two weeks while we were on a trip. She took great care of him and sent us messages about how he was doing while we were away. She left the house in excellent shape after staying there for the duration. She is easy to work with and responds quickly. Would highly recommend.”
About: Hi! I’m Christina, an experienced pet care professional with years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a professional dog groomer, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, build trust with nervous pets, and provide calm, patient, individualized care. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, hiking, or simply curling up on the couch for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and I know how important it is to keep you updated, so you can expect plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay. I’m comfortable administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and caring for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. My goal is to give your pet a fun, stress-free experience while giving you complete peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I currently work full time at a grooming salon in ocean springs, yet my schedule is flexible to be able to take your pet on walks, play time or to be able to do drop in. Safety, trust & environment are big things in the relationship with your pet care provider. I plan to write everything you tell me down along with making copies to ensure I have all the information on your pet at all times. I also believe in sending plenty of pictures & videos of your pet to ensure that trust is built.
“Maizy didn't even care that we were gone! Thank you Chelsea! You were great with communication & our dog was well cared for! Highly recommend Chelsea as an elderly dog sitter (or any age dog)!!!”
“Natalie is wonderful. Merv took a quick liking to her. She’s trustworthy, reliable and her studying to be a vet tech is a great bonus. Il’ll be trying for Natalie 1st each time I need a sitter.”
About: I’ve been caring for fur babies since I graduated high school, giving both puppies and senior dogs the special attention they need. I love animals of every shape and size and treat them like my own—because let’s be honest, they run the household anyway. Your pet will get a happy, stress-free stay with plenty of love, snuggles, and top-tier spoiling. I work a full-time job during the day, but I’m available for drop-ins and visits in the late afternoons and evenings. I’m also free all day on Sundays, as well as one select weekday depending on my schedule. If you communicate your needs ahead of time, I’ll always do my best to make it happen. Your fur baby’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I come to your home so your pet can stay in their favorite place, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. I follow your instructions carefully and keep your home secure, tidy, and respected. You’ll always get clear updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
About: I love animals and have 5 dogs and 2 cats of my own back in Montana. I have raised dogs and cats my whole life. I grew up doing 4-h and take pride in my work. My daily routine consists of teaching yoga classes up and down valley so I have a lot of flexibility and attentiveness to your pet pets. I care for there’s animals with love and affection. Making sure they have food and water. I like to take walks personally and would love a furry friend to join me.
“I'm so glad I found Riley to watch my pup for the weekend. She was courteous, on time, sent updates while I was away, and overall was really great to work with. I'll definitely be reaching out to her for future trips and you should too!”
“Caitlin took wonderful care of our dog in our home while we were away. We received updates and photos and came home to a happy pup and clean house! We would recommend her for any dog sitting needs.”
About: I have years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats. I was the main person to take care of both a cat and dog growing up starting when I was ten. I currently have two dogs, but I also love cats! My wife is a veterinarian, so I am around a lot of animals and am prepared in case of an emergency (hopefully there aren't any). Being a teacher, I have summers off and am looking for dogs to walk or check in on during the day or cats to check in on. I am currently not available to stay overnight as I also have a baby at home. I am a compassionate and caring person, which is the first thing that your dog or cat will notice about me. I will check in on them and spend time with them to make sure everything is going great when you are gone!
About: I have had dogs my entire life, also have done dog sitting for neighbors growing up. For a while, I was the manager of a dog daycare/boarding/grooming/retail store servicing any where from 10-50 dogs per day. I’m happy to assist with puppy training, or just hanging out with your senior pup! I have 3 days per week with open availability, and available for overnights in the surrounding area. Let’s discuss how I can help get your pup the care you deserve! I treat all pets as they were my own. I am an animal lover through and through, they all deserve the best, most loving care.
“Jasper was responsive and easy to communicate with. He sent lots of photos of our dogs and even our grumpy 13yr old senior dog loved him. Stayed with our 3 dogs for 3 days. Will definitely have him watch them again.”
About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, rats, parrots, fish, and more. Right now I share my home with three senior cats I adore, so I'm right at home with pets who need a little extra patience, a medication schedule, or just someone who reads their quirks and knows when 'she's hiding' means she's fine and when it doesn't. Whatever your pet needs, I've got it covered: feeding and fresh water, meds and pills (even the sneaky ones), playtime and walks, litter and cleanup, and overnight stays so they're never alone. I'm reliable, I show up when I say I will, and I'll send you photos and updates so you can actually relax while you're away. I'm always happy to start with a meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get comfortable with me before booking anything. Tell me your pet's routine and I'll keep it exactly the way they like it. Senior pets, anxious pets, shy pets, high-energy pets, and the occasional exotic are all welcome. I'd love to help take care of your best friend like they're my own. I do part-time software work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care throughout the day. Since I'm home for much of the day, I can handle midday visits, feedings, and check-ins that a 9-to-5 sitter can't. I'm available for morning and evening care, overnight stays at your place, and drop-ins during the day. Just tell me your pet's routine and we'll find a rhythm that works for both of us. In your home, I respect your space completely. I follow your instructions to the letter, keep doors and gates secured, stick to your pet's normal routine, and leave things exactly the way I found them. I'll send photos and updates at each visit so you always know your pet is safe, fed, and happy. I'm careful with the little things that matter: locking up when I leave, bringing in mail or packages if you'd like, and watching for anything off with your pet's behavior or health so I can flag it early. If something ever comes up, you'll hear from me right away. Above all, I treat every pet like my own and every home like I'd want mine treated, with care, respect, and attention to detail.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats for the past 8 years. Including some who needed extra care. I’m happy to help anyone in need and make sure their pets get all my love and attention. I’m currently a nursing student at the University of Tampa and am flexible with afternoons/mornings during the week. I am also available all day Friday-Sunday. I am experienced with dogs who need to be leashed, have an electric fence in the backyard or that come to when called. I have given baths/groomed, walks, runs, playing catch and cuddles.
About: I have grown up taking care of and training dogs! Have experience caring for all ages and breeds, happy to do a meet and greet. I currently work from home so I have availability care for the dogs throughout the day and will cater to feeding schedules and walking schedules I live in an independent house with a large fence for those dogs that can jump really high! Happy to let you come see for meet and greet
About: I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and kittens as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, consistency, and attention. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medications, exercise, playtime, and maintaining the routines your pet is accustomed to. I work early in the morning, which leaves me with a flexible schedule during the middle of the day when many people are at work. This allows me to offer reliable and flexible pet care, including midday visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs and can often accommodate weekday daytime requests. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I treat every pet and every home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions before care begins. In a client’s home, I provide attentive, respectful care while keeping their pet comfortable in the familiar environment they know best. I’m careful to follow instructions closely, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure pets are safe and supervised. I also treat your home with respect and leave it just as I found it. I believe good pet care is about more than simply feeding and walking an animal - it’s about providing companionship, consistency, patience, and peace of mind. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable knowing they are in caring and responsible hands.

FAQs for House Sitting - Glenwood Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Glenwood Springs 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 151 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Glenwood Springs. 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 Glenwood Springs 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 Glenwood Springs 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 Glenwood Springs 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Glenwood Springs. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
