“Jasper, Ilsa, and Vader apparently had a great time with Lainya! Very relaxed. House was in wonderful shape--I will definitely book her for future travel plans!”
“Annabelle provided wonderful care as usual. She spent a ton of time with our cat, Ekko, while we were gone and tried to keep her as happy as possible even though Ekko wasn’t feeling great.”
“Excellent job, my dogs love him so much. He took time to check in on them more than needed because they get into stuff. The house was in mint condition. I already booked him again!”
“It was such a pleasure to work with Karen! She is professional, reliable, kept me updated, and responded quickly to all my texts (I really miss my dog when I’m gone). She left my home in perfect condition. I look forward to having her stay in my home again soon.”
“Vivian was the perfect match for our dogs/fish sitting needs! We've been looking for quite some time to find someone that we felt comfortable with! And our Leila loved her! We'll definitely be asking her back!”
“Ariel is thoughtful, she took the time to ask great questions about Molly to understand her care needs. I was able to feel safe leaving Molly in good hands. I trusted Ariel in my home. She played with Molly and made sure she was entertained. Ariel was awesome to send me picture updates to let me know things were going well. Grateful!”
“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.”
“Eleshia was great! She stayed three nights with our cat and dog who do not get along with one another. She spent time with each pet and made sure they were comforted and well cared for. She left our home just as clean as it was when we left. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I stand out by giving pets real attention and care, not just basic sitting. I’m reliable, calm, and good with different personalities, and I make sure every pet feels safe and loved. I’m currently not working another job, so I have open availability and can dedicate my time to providing reliable and consistent care for your pets. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I always follow instructions closely, keep a calm and clean environment, and make sure pets are secure and well cared for at all times.
About: I’ve had cats and interacted with dogs my whole life. I have been house/pet sitting for friends and family since I was 12 and have cared for many different pet households. I have bathed and medicated multiple different dogs and cats and walked dozens of dogs. I’m currently available 24/7 for visits, dog walking, and house sitting. My schedule is very flexible and i’m willing to work odd hours if needed. I love meeting new animals and am always careful with nervous pets. I am great at following instructions and always respectful of pets and belongings.
“Hope was a date night saver for us! She took care of Chani for a few hours, who normally express a bit of separation anxiety with us gone, but with Hope she felt totally safe and relaxed at home! Easy to book with, super fast communication, kind, caring, ideal Rover experience! Thanks again, Hope!”
“Did absolutely amazing! Took wonderful care of our animals and our house! She was super responsive and understanding when we had to have a last minute change! 1000% would recommend!”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover and currently have both a Golden Retriever and a cat of my own, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and providing walks, playtime, fetch, feeding, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I know how much peace of mind it gives me to know my own pets are with someone who will genuinely care for them, not just check in on them. I’m dependable, attentive, and will take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine so they can feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I’m also very detail-oriented when it comes to following feeding schedules, household instructions, exercise routines, and any special preferences you have for your pet. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same affection and care that I give my own. I currently have a very flexible schedule while I work on my graduate degree, which gives me availability throughout the day to care for your pet as much as needed. I’m able to accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, and plenty of companionship. Having this flexibility also allows me to spend quality time with your pet rather than simply stopping by and rushing through their care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, boundaries, and any specific instructions you provide. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding routines, and anything else that helps keep your pet safe and comfortable. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both their space and their established routine so they can remain in an environment that feels familiar to them. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that may seem unusual, and I believe in keeping owners updated so they can feel confident that their pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while they’re away.
“Deannica was great. We booked her for a full week for our two dogs. She texted every day with updates and left our house cleaner than it was when we left. We will for sure be using her in the future.”
“Our experience with Amelia was excellent. She took such great care of our pets and paid attention to every detail. She was very responsive and sent us plenty of pictures of our pets. She took great care of our house too. I would definitely recommend Amelia as a pet sitter/house sitter and will rebook with her again.”
“Trinity did a great job taking care of our dog and was so respectful of our home! She sent many pictures and updates, and genuinely enjoyed our dog, which every pet owner hopes for!”

Krizia is the best pet sitter I've ever had. She is so incredibly attentive to the needs of my pets, and so affectionate towards them! I am incredibly lucky to have found her because every time I go out of town, I know my pets and home are taken care of to the best extent!
Misty is an incredibly attentive, responsible, caring pet sitter. She provided adorable pics and videos and took our hyperactive Lab to the park throughout the weekend to blow off steam. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. I highly recommend her and will def reach out to her again for future needs!
Abbey did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs for the week! She was super understanding with our shy girl, and was able to make her feel comfortable and cared for during the stay. We appreciate Abbey so much and highly recommend her to take care of your pets!
George is such a blessing to Cosworth and this family. He consistently goes above and beyond for us and we feel safe leaving Cosworth in his competent and trustworthy hands. We know we don't have much time left with our boy and the peace of mind having George on Team Cosworth means everything. Thank you, George.
Kaya was an amazing dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Kaya genuinely cares about animals and made sure our dog felt comfortable, happy, and loved. She was reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with. We would absolutely trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
Stacy is a joy in all respects. Responsible, of course. But taking such great care of our two dogs and our house was far above our expectations. For nine days, we knew that our dogs and home were in great hands. Stacy always kept us updated and we couldn't have asked for anything more. She has our full and absolute recommendation. We've had mostly good to great experiences with Rover, with only a couple of exceptions, and Stacy is one of our two favorites and we'll be using her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Grand Junction
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Grand Junction on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 188 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Grand Junction. 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 Grand Junction 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 Grand Junction 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 Grand Junction 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.
