“Thank you Chelsea for another great stay with Olive! We feel so much better being away with someone we can trust taking care of her (and giving her all the snuggles :)) and we loved getting photos and updates throughout the weekend as well.”
“Ayla & Han took care of our 2 German Shepherds for the weekend and words cannot describe how grateful we are that we found them! They took such great care of our pups, provided amazing photos and updates, and gave so much love to our pups when we were away. They are genuine and trust worthy people. Highly recommended and would definitely be reaching out again.”
“Jonathan always takes exceptional care of our pets and home while we travel. He is communicative while we are away and consistently dependable. We appreciate his level of care!”

“Annabelle was really great about keeping us updated about our dogs and sending lots of pics. She also walked them every day even though we told her she didn't have to!”
“Thomas took great care of our goldendoodles and our house while we were away. He sent lots of pictures, walked the dogs daily and watered our flowers. He was clean and very respectful. Will definitely book again. Thanks Thomas!”

“Lindsay was great! She sent daily updates and photos of our dogs and took great care of them while we were away. Our dogs seemed to love her! She also left our house nice and clean. We would definitely use Lindsay again next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Thank you Lindsay!”
“Polina was amazing! I think this was her first time on Rover or doing house/dog sitting, but she was fabulous. She was so communicative and was clearly taking very good care of our two dogs. She left the house spotless and was incredibly considerate. We'll definitely ask Polina to care for our dogs again!”
“Brittany was so wonderful to our pups! She did an amazing job following our instructions and communicating with both me and my husband. I will have her back in a heartbeat if we need another sitter! She works from home so she was able to be with our pups consistently which is super important for me. Thank you Brittany!!”
About: I've taken care of my dogs from when they approached their final days and comforting them, to bringing up new pups into safe and loving environments. I put the dog's needs as a priority first and foremost! The services I can provide for range from physical activity such as walking, training young pets about necessary dominance and commands, attending to senior pets for their specific needs, and setting up motions or calls for practice such as rewarding the pet with treats for obeying. My past experience with pet care can come down to how every pet can feel like a new routine and learning experience to adapt to. I can give my services for both full and part-time calls as of now, and am just as okay with traveling to the client's home to care for them there if they are not comfortable leaving them at my own home! I am just as willing to provide my own needs before the needed days. Whether I have something going on or want to fit in pet care, I work to make sure a firm and specific routine is made for a pet's fitness, health, exercise, feeding, and care! While I currently have two other dogs to call my own at my home, both my own place and a client's are where I aim to learn a client's needs and expectations, timing, and how I can make the pet's experience as safe and secured as possible!
“Olivia was great! It was the longest I had been away from my dog and Olivia took great care of her! I was able to completely relax while away knowing my old timer was in good hands.”
“Kaitlyn was fantastic! She took excellent care of our pups. We loved receiving daily pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We would absolutely recommend Kaitlyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter!”
“Morgan did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs! She was very communicative throughout the stay, kept us updated, and our dogs really like her. One of our dogs acted up a bit and made a mess, but Morgan handled the situation extremely well and kept us informed the entire time. We felt reassured knowing they were in such capable hands. We are so glad we found Morgan and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“We are so grateful to have Loren take care of our dog. She treats him like his own. She takes lots of pictures and send some. She even makes her own pictures and leave them after she’s done taking care of your dog. She’s truly outstanding. If you have to leave your pet to go out of town. She is the one you want taking care of your animal.”
“Jane was beyond great! She shared photos of our pups while she watched them at our home. The house was left spotless, and she even washed the sheets! I'll definitely book again.”
“We felt SO at ease with Pam watching our two pups in our home while we were away! She provided consistent updates, and went out of her way to accommodate their unique needs and personalities. 10/10 recommend.”

Aislyn is incredible! She sent daily photos while we were away and was a great communicator throughout our trip. The home is just as we left it and the pets all seem happy and stimulated. We highly recommend her for anyone with house and/or pet sitting needs :)
This is my third time booking with Polina, and I couldn't be happier with her service. She and her boyfriend clearly love dogs; their genuine affection is obvious, and my dogs are always so happy around them. She's reliable, attentive, and truly cares for the animals she watches. She even left my apartment cleaner than I left it. I highly recommend her, she's the best sitter I've had. :)
Wonderful Pet Sitters for Bodhi! ❤️🐾 We have had many pet sitters care for Bodhi over the years, and Ayla and Han were absolutely wonderful pet sitters for him! I can truly say they exceeded our expectations. They cared for Bodhi for 8 days while we were away on a family trip. Bodhi was so well cared for and felt comfortable with them from the very beginning. Every morning, they sent us an update along with pictures of Bodhi, which gave us such peace of mind and made being away from him so much easier. We truly can’t say enough about how pleased we were with the two of them. If you are searching for the right people to care for your pet, we highly recommend Ayla and Han. They were kind, responsible, thoughtful, and took such wonderful care of Bodhi. We feel very fortunate to have found them and would absolutely have them care for Bodhi again! ❤️🐶
Lance did such an amazing job taking care of our pets and our home. We knew our animals were in excellent care with Lance due to his consistent communication and photos throughout. Our house was left in exceptional condition upon returning home. We will be repeat customers for sure knowing our pets were treated like they were his own.
This is Madeline’s second stay with my critters (2 dogs, 2 cats) and everything went wonderfully. She is very responsive, and sends many photos and updates. In addition to taking such wonderful care of my babies, she left my house spotless. We can’t wait for her to come stay again!! Thank you Madeline!
Kasey went above and beyond this weekend while watching my two dogs. Theyre BIG dogs and she was amazing with them! She made sure I had check-ins, pictures, clear communication and understood clear expectations for their care. Kasey watched our home as well and left it BETTER than she arrived. She brought toys and things to entertain the pups, which they loved. I couldnt ask for a better pup-sitter! Thank you thank you for giving me peace of mind for the weekend, knowing my big babies were well taken care of.
Lauren did an excellent job watching our senior dog! He requires several medications throughout the day and she took wonderful care of his needs! She was great at communicating with us and she sent pictures daily. The house was neat as a pin when we arrived home! We would highly recommend her to any pet parent!!
Erin did a great job with our two pups. She watched them for 3 weeks and I'm so glad we chose Erin to be their caretaker! One of our dogs had a medical emergency (a seizure cluster) and Erin handled it extremely well. She was so compassionate and kind and level headed that we were impressed. Our dog came through it fine with Erin's help. She worked with the vet and communicated effectively with everyone. We got lots of pictures from their play time, walks and cuddle time. All at the same time she was house sitting too. The house was well looked after and she left everything in top shape. I would highly recommend her and I know our dogs will look forward to spending time with her again!
Trevin is a fantastic dog sitter and we highly recommend him! We have 3 large high energy dogs and Trevin provided excellent care of them in our home. He was willing to walk them (and take them on hikes) which just shows how much he loves being active. Our dogs each have unique personalities and different requirements, but Trevin followed the care instructions perfectly. He sent us pictures and provided the right amount of updates so we knew all was well. An added bonus was that he took care of our home and it was clean and tidy when we returned (he even offered to start the laundry). We use Rover very frequently and Trevin is definitely one of the best sitters we have found. Don’t hesitate in booking his services as he will take excellent care of your dogs and home.
Brad stayed at our house for 4 days to care for our 2yr old lab mix. She stays in a crate when we are out of the house, so we wanted someone who would not be gone for long periods of time. Brad works remotely so he was able to do that. Our dog seemed to like him a lot. He left the house as he found it and even washed his dishes and put his sheets in the wash.

FAQs for House Sitting - Highlands Ranch
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Highlands Ranch 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 8,005 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Highlands Ranch. 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 Highlands Ranch 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 Highlands Ranch 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 Highlands Ranch 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.
