“August was great! He sent regular updates, was extremely responsive, and was the perfect balance of warm and professional. Knowing he was giving our pup the attention and care he needed while we were away gave us valuable piece of mind. He left the house in excellent shape and took care of things like trash while we were gone. I highly recommend August and will be booking with him again.”

About: I love frequently getting outside for a walk or run, rain or shine. I have house sat for many different people in my home town, including our local Veterinarian. I also spent time working at an Animal Shelter, therefore have had interaction with many different breeds/ages and thoroughly enjoy taking care of, hanging out, and playing with animals. I have helped with senior / puppy care and am highly responsible, caring, and loving. I currently am not working and can offer my full attention to in home stays, walks, or drop ins. I can do multiple breaks, walks, and quality time. The animals are the priority. I tend to them first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and before bed. I am timely with regular meals, fresh water, regular breaks (every few hours, never longer than 8 hrs), attention/affection, and exercise are basics of what I provide.

About: Owning pets for three decades has been a remarkable journey filled with boundless joy, unconditional love, and a symphony of heartwarming moments. Being a seasoned pet owner for 33 years has equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique needs, quirks, and affections of our furry companions. From the energetic enthusiasm of playful puppies to the wise and gentle purrs of aging cats, I've navigated the ever-evolving landscape of pet care with patience and devotion. Over the years, I've honed my ability to anticipate their needs, ensuring a harmonious and loving environment. With a wealth of experience, I've mastered the art of creating a home that resonates with warmth, comfort, and the delightful chaos that comes with a house full of pets. Through the laughter, occasional mishaps, and countless heart-to-heart moments, I've learned that being a pet owner isn't just a title—it's a commitment to providing a lifetime of love, care, and happiness for our cherished companions. Currently, I have two cats, which means that I am continuously expanding my knowledge about the proper care of animals. I am always wanting more experience! With two cats in my care, I am well-versed in the nuances of animal care, ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for them. Additionally, I have experience tending to my friends' dogs, managing their extensive medication routines with diligence and compassion.
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!
“Alicia gave us peace of mind leaving our 6 month old puppy and 2 cats at home while visiting family out of state for Thanksgiving. Even brought a doggy friend over for pupper to play with, and shared pictures of playtime. Would definitely book again!”
About: I love pets of all kind & have many years of experience with them! It brings me great joy to care for pets as though they are my own. I am able to commit to likely a weekly or semi-weekly visit. I look forward to creating rapport with animals & humans alike! I am flexible with my schedule. I care for pets with love, affection, and keen attention to their usual behaviors- and I am always on the watch for anything out of the ordinary. I like to help animals feel safe & comfortable & loved!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since I was 10. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I am currently a full time student without a flexible schedule. I don’t have a job, so I have plenty of availability for your dogs. I have a dog back home who is truly my best friend, and I miss him so much while I’m away. I’ve always absolutely loved dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I would love to play with your dogs, take them on walks, and give them lots of love and attention. I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never lonely while you’re away!
“Tigran was a great dog caregiver. He shared some of his knowledge about dogs and He is a great communicator and quickly responded to all contacts. He provided daily photos of his walks with my dog and reached out as needed for clarity around house and dog needs. Tigran was respectful of our home and able to manage some complex house events while we were away. I would happily employ Tigran again.”
“Alexis was AMAZING!!! I would have her come back and watch our boys in a heartbeat! ❤️ She took such incredible care of them for the entire 2 weeks we were away, and it was so obvious how happy, loved, and well cared for they were when we got home. Alexis checked in with me every single day and sent photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs. We even had an unfortunate pipe flood issue at the house while we were gone, and Alexis handled the whole situation so graciously and calmly. She cleaned everything up and dealt with the unexpected mess without hesitation, which was incredibly appreciated and honestly went WAY beyond what we ever could have expected from anyone. Alexis is responsible, kind, communicative, trustworthy, and clearly has so much love for animals. Our boys absolutely adored her, and knowing they were in such good hands made being away for two weeks so much easier. We will 100% be booking Alexis again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets and home. 10/10 doesn’t even begin to cover it! 🐾❤️”
About: I've been full time taking care of pets the last two years and previously have had my own pets since a young child. I have experience with a range of animals and personally love small dogs and cats. I've sat for elderly dogs and have experience with giving them medicine and also young dogs who need extra care and attention. I also understand and love hairless high maintenance cats as I had two of my own Peterbalds. I am fully available for house sitting / pet sitting as I work remote and have a flexible schedule. I live an organic, non-toxic lifestyle and prefer to stay in homes that are fragrance free & chemical free. I am currently nomadic so I will only offer care in the pet owners home. I will stay over at your home and I tend to keep everything really clean and I've found pets really enjoy being in their own environment.
“Our two dogs are older and often seem stressed and sickly when we pick them up from the Dog Sitter. However, after they spent nearly 2 weeks with Samantha we came home to two very happy and healthy dogs. She took excellent care of them and our home. She even baked us cookies to welcome us home! Highly recommend!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Gold Hill
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 3,830 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gold Hill. 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 Gold Hill 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 Gold Hill 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 Gold Hill 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.
