“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.”
“Keidy is amazing! She is always so great with my dog Noodles and shares updates while she’s sitting. She goes above and beyond to ensure Noodles is comfortable and happy! Thank you!!”
About: I'm an animal lover, and I have been pet sitting for many years through friends and referrals, as well as through TrustedHousesitters. I've had animals most of my life, but none currently. I've also volunteered at shelters for many years, and I have trained and worked in animal rescue. I also volunteered doing animal rescue after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, for which I received an honorary award from the Humane Society. I'm comfortable with all types of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I have specialized experience with dogs, including dog behavior and dog rescue. I will take pride in providing excellent care for your animals, plants and home. I have many excellent reviews on TrustedHousesitters and Airbnb, and I can provide those links for reference. I work remotely on a flexible, part-time schedule, and I can tailor my schedule around my pet sitting commitments. My weekends often include hiking or trail running, and I'm also happy to take your dogs on hikes or runs if you'd like. Let's chat! I'm flexible with arrangements depending on the service I'm providing. - For pet sitting in your home while you're away, I would like a clean and comfortable space for me to settle in while caring for your animals. - For dog walks and/or drop-in visits, I'm very flexible. - Please just reach out to discuss details on these and other possible pet services. - Contact me for special pricing on long pet sits.

I’m dedicating all my time to helping pet parents like you get the care they need for their pets when they can’t be there I can come to your house and give your pet the attention they need… whether it’s walks, playtime, litter box care, administer meds or just be there for cuddles!
“Dylan was so cute with my three dogs! They all have separation anxiety and don’t do super well when I leave. She made me feel really good about being away from them. Lots of communication and pictures and she did an incredible job making them feel comfortable and loved. My house was very clean when I got home and I didn’t even ask her to do that. I highly recommend her!”
“We needed to leave in a hurry to attend a family funeral and, being new to town, didn't know where to turn. I'd heard good things about Rover, so that's where I turned. Thankfully, we lucked out with Alicia H. She housesat our two dogs for three nights and when we returned, our pets were happy, healthy, and well taken care of. She also sent photos on a daily basis, which reassured us, and was very responsive to all requests and messages. Phew! Would gladly hire her again.”
“We love Rikku! He brings us peace and security knowing our furbabies are well cared for while we are away. He responds quickly and sends frequent updates about them. It makes our trips so much more enjoyable not having to worry about them.”
“Awesome! Couldn’t be happier. She was even able to stay an extra day when our flight was canceled. She took fantastic care of our dog and our home and I would hire her again anytime. So fortunate we found her.”
About: Hi! I’m Olivia — an energetic and caring sitter who truly enjoys keeping homes and animals safe, calm, and well cared for while their humans are away. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs and routines. I also have experience tending houseplants and gardens, ensuring plants are watered, healthy, and thriving while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, maintaining routines, or offering companionship, I treat every home, animal, and plant as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide you with peace of mind and a truly cared-for home while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my life right now—I'm a seasonal farmer, so winter months give me a lot of open time and flexibility. If I'm petsitting for your loved ones and your home, I can provide them lots of affection, care, and quality time doing their favorite things, whether that's lounging in the house or hiking in the sun and the snow. Whatever their pace, I'm happy to match it and make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time. I get to know each pet's routine and personality before jumping in, so they feel comfortable with me quickly. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and any meds, and I pay close attention to their energy and mood so I can adjust as needed—extra patience for the nervous ones, extra playtime for the energetic ones! I send photo updates so owners can relax, and I always leave the house just as tidy as I found it.
“Savannah has watched my dog in my house multiple times now, and each time is absolutely perfect! It’s so nice being able to be gone for a week and know that my dog and my house are being well taken care of.”
About: I have always loved animals of all kinds and have lots of experience dog sitting as well as cat sitting! I am willing to take the extra step to make sure your pet feels safe and taken care of! I have been missing my dog (Millie) while studying at CU Boulder so I would love to spend some quality time with your pets! I am currently a senior at CU Boulder and have time to watch any pets in between classes, afternoons, and on weekends. I have a car so I can drive to your home for any of your pets needs! I am more than happy to come to your home for overnights, afternoons, or whatever else you may need! I live in boulder so I can bring your pet here to walk around Chataquah or any other park! I am also happy to take them to the dog park!
“Brad was great! He watched our two dogs in our home while we were out of state for ten days. He walked them everyday and sent lots of pictures. This was our first time using Rover and we felt so at ease on our trip knowing Brad was in our home with Minnie and Maggie. We came home to a tidy house and two happy dogs! Will definitely be looking to book him again!”
About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I've had animals in my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have one dog of my own. She is my world. I am the go to pet sitter for my friend's, plus, word has gotten around and I have a few other clients that I sit for periodically. I've cared for dogs and cats, as well as other animals. Pet care is something I'm passionate about and take seriously. At 42 y/o I am going back to school! Working full time doesn't work with my schedule. Gigging does, plus I can do what actually love! Hang out with animals! In the clients home, I am diligent, and respect all the requests of the client especially when it comes to pet care. Overarching, is love. I provide calm and loving care. I understand that pets can get stressed without their primary caregivers. My job is to alleviate that as best I can. I have a natural ability to connect to animals which makes me a great choice for in home sitting, or drop in care. I'm also physically fit and I love to hike and walk with dogs. It's a win win win for me.
“Yolanda was great from the first contact and all throughout her stay at our house. We appreciated the daily updates, pictures and videos and the house was clean upon our return. We wouldn’t hesitate at all to book Yolanda again! Thank you!”
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!
About: I have had pets ever since I can remember: dogs, cats, and fish. I have experience with bigger dogs and puppies. I own a beta fish as well, and have had them on and off for about 8 years. I am in school right now, I attend the University of Colorado Boulder, so I am busy from 12:30-4:30 every weekday. On weekends, I am free all day Saturday and Sunday. In my home, we have dog bowls and treats available, as well as fresh water. We also have a park next to our house for walks. In the clients home, I will be incredibly respectful of your space and be sure that I know where everything is located for the animals so I know they can get the best care while their person is 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.”
“Caitlin was amazing with our dog. He's a big boy and is shy of most strangers, but he warmed up too her very quickly. She has a calm energy that is great for a dog, that can be cautious with new people!”
“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 will love and care for your dogs like they are my own! I am at home most of the time and would only leave your pup at most 5 hours 2x in a given week. I have my own 10 lb "mystery doodle" fur baby and we both welcome fur friends to our home and are happy to come stay in yours, as well. *Please note that I can only accept dogs up to 30 lbs for boarding at my home.* Cuddle time is priority and I take the dogs hiking almost every day. I live right next to an amazing open space, and a huge grassy area "dog park." Lots of fun playtime happens there! Holistic health is a priority for my babies, and I often share information on diet, lifestyle, training and supplements that can help your dog to be the healthiest possible as well! I also practice honest, clear communication regarding any issue that could possibly arise. I started petsitting at the age of 12 when I had a small business in my neighborhood. I went on to spend a few summers working full time at the local kennel, walking, feeding and caring for dozens of dogs there. I worked at a sled dog kennel in Alaska one year caring for 100 dogs and since then have cared for dozens of dogs and cats in my home and at other's homes. I also have had my own dogs for the last 15 years. I look forward to talking to you about how I can care for your pets and leave you knowing your fur babies are loved, healthy and safe! I am normally only away from home for 5 hours tops 2 times in a given week. Other than that I am with your fur babies going on walks, playing with neighborhood dogs in the "dog park," hiking, and cuddling on the couch. I have a friendly 10 lb mystery doodle, a small fenced yard, and our larger "back yard" is the open space next to the townhome I live in where we go on short walks multiple times a day. There is also a grassy area nearby locals call "the dog park" where many dogs run around and play. I would be happy to bring your pup on hikes with my dog and I, as well!

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.
