“Jonathon did a great job with my pup and kitty. It was the first time I used Rover so was a little nervous. My pets both loved Jonathon and he followed all of my instructions for their care. Jonathan's communication is good, and timely. I would hire Jonathon again without hesitation.”
“Lindsay stayed at the house with our three dogs while we were out of town. She was a great house/dogsitter and we would happily use her again! The house was spotless when we returned and the dogs were very relaxed.”
“This is our second time working with Ion who watched our 74lb Boxer while we were out of town. He is great as always, very thoughtful and attentive to our pup and we won’t hesitate to work with him again in the future!”
“Han was great! He was willing to come over before the stay to meet our pups and kept us informed the entire time. He took our pups on a walk everyday and they were both in great spirits when we came home. Thanks again Han!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Polina! From the initial meet & greet, we felt completely at ease leaving Scoot and Maisie in her care. She took amazing care of our dogs, keeping up with their exercise and routines perfectly, and it was clear the pups felt loved. Her daily photos and updates made our trip relaxing because we knew our fur babies were being well cared for! Not only is she great with dogs, but she’s also a considerate house guest—we came home to a clean house and relaxed pups. She even went above and beyond by staying extra time when we ran late. Five stars isn't enough!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! We have two needy dogs and she did wonderfully with them! She interacted with the dogs throughout the day kept us posted throughout the day! We hope to continue to use Rachel because she's fantastic!”
“Cameron was great! He was very easy to work with and my doggo loved him. He left the house perfectly clean. I unfortunately had to cut my trip short so he didn't watch my dog for the full time, but I would definitely trust him house sitting again!”
“Riese did an excellent job caring for my home and my pets. She communicated well even washed the sheets upon leaving my home and left my pets happy and healthy. I can’t thank her enough for caring for my two best friends”
“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.”
“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!”
“Ace was fantastic and Rocky loved her. She was very attentive and took exceptional care of our home. She provided pics and communication throughout and we are very happy with her.”
“Holly is wonderful! We would recommend her to anyone. She sent daily updates with pictures and took great care of our “zoo” while we were gone. Ours dogs are full of energy but she seemed to be patient with them and followed our directions.”
“Morgan was wonderful with our dogs! They warmed up to her really quickly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She sent lots of updates, kept us informed, and made us feel confident that our dogs were safe and well cared for. She also left our home in great shape. We would absolutely recommend Morgan and would be happy to book with her again!”
“We had Emily watch our 3 huskies at our house, and that’s not always an easy task. But she did a great job- they were well cared for and they had a great time. Will definitely reach out again in the future!”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“Thomas was exceptional!! He took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. Thomas walked our girls every day, kept me up to date with how they were doing and asked any clarifying questions he needed. I was so impressed and incredibly grateful for his care. I will definitely be rebooking!”
“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!”
“Fiona was AMAZING!! Sweet, responsible, flexible, attentive to my old pup, and reliable! I'm so happy I finally went with Rover.com to find a sitter, because I hit the lottery with Fiona! My little guy is geriatric and requires some additional considerations and Fiona came through in every regard. She house sat for me as well and took care of everything I needed her to. I'll rebook every time I go out of town if she's available! My pup loved her immediately (and he's not easily impressed).”
“Maggie did a great job watching our dogs. She was reliable and followed all my instructions. She communicated well and the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. I would definitely use her again.”
“Pam was great! She sent updates, she communicated clearly, and Willow seemed to thoroughly enjoy hanging out with her (one proof point being a photo Pam shared with Willow using Pam's lap as a pillow). We will definitely book with Pam again.”

Ayla and Han are incredible!! They took such amazing care of our pup while we were out of town. Ayla and Han sent regular updates and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. Our dog loved them and was so sad when they left! They were also such respectful house guests and took great care of our home. Truly such wonderful people! We are so thankful!
We are so grateful for Cameron! Our little Chloe had gotten severe allergies just a week before he had to come to our home and watch and take care of her. He had to administer three different medications multiple times a day. Also monitor her reactions, etc. Also, we had to change our trip and timeframe. He was very flexible. Cameron was very detailed and left notes and did a spreadsheet for us on administering the medication‘s times. He went above and beyond we are so grateful. We will definitely be booking him again. He also left the house cleaner than when we left it. Thank you so much.
Ana Elisa was absolutely amazing with our English Mastiff, Odin! Managing a giant breed requires a lot of care, and she was incredibly attentive, considerate, and kept us updated the entire time. Her communication was stellar, and we felt completely at ease. We will definitely be booking her again!
Shari is absolutely wonderful!! She is our go-to whenever we need someone to care for our German Shepherd, who is a large dog and is reactive to dogs / wants to chase every bunny. Whether it’s a check in to take her potty, walk her, or overnight care while we are away, we never worry when Shari is the one taking care of her. Shari is comfortable with our dog and her needs, sends updates & is very responsive, and always goes above and beyond. Our dog always looks so happy and well cared for when she is with Shari. We (and our dog) LOVE Shari!
Susie did a great job taking care of our pets while we were gone, sending lots of photos of the dogs, making us feel confident they were well taken care of. She kept my plants alive and left the house in great shape. We will definitely be asking her to petsit again!
Carly provided excellent care for my three cats (at my house) over almost a holiday week trip. She was a clear communicator, provided updates and photos throughout the trip, and treated both the cats and the house as if it were her own. She played with the cats and brushed them, kept with their normal feeding schedule, provided daily medication to one cat, and left the house cleaner than she found it. She is kind, respectful, and trustworthy. I’d absolutely recommend Carly and use her again for pet sitting.
Trevin was a great sitter. He watched our 2 dogs. One 2 years old and one 7 month old puppy. We were gone for two weeks out of the country and Trevin made us feel comfortable with daily check ins and photos. Our dogs were well taken care of. Trevin also taught them and continued training while we were away. He has been the best sitter we have found on Rover.
Lance took care of my dogs over a 4-day holiday weekend. He did an amazing job! He kept me updated on how things were going and sent pictures which I appreciated! Lance stayed at my house with the pups and left everything spotless. He promptly arrived when scheduled and stayed until the evening of the last day to make sure they had dinner before we got home. I highly recommend Lance to watch after your fur babies!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
