About: I have taken care of my own family dog for 10 years since we have had her. Through that, I have gained trust of my neighbors to check on their dogs when they are out of town and it is so much fun! I love dogs and I truly think that providing pets with much needed exercise and while ensuring their safety and well-being while being home alone is the most important thing. I am dedicated to catering to any personalized care to pets of all ages! I am a senior in college moving home for the summer before I start physical therapy school in Des Moines Iowa! I am looking for a way to make some money doing what I love before I start school! I love dogs and I miss walking my own dog Roxie everyday! I think every dog should be loved and cared for! If you're caught up at work, let me take care of your furry friend :) I am willing to do anything your pet needs and I think it is very important to build trust with you as the owner as well! We all love our pets and it takes trust to allow someone else to care for it! I hope I can be that person for you. I love spending time with dogs and getting them some activity, walking, playing, and even just a friend during the day!
“Alyssa was wonderful with our two high energy dogs and mellow cat. She gave each of them special attention following their feeding instructions perfectly. She sent along pictures while we were away and left our home spotless . Alyssa took great care of our fur family. Highly recommend”
“Andrew was very patient and understanding with my complicated dog - really rolled with it, kept in communication, and enlisted help with my neighbors when needed. Would highly recommend!”
“Shari took great care of our German Shepherd while we were out of the country on vacation. She sent great updates and was understanding of our dog’s specific behaviors (e.g., reactivity). We will certainly use her again.”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and puppies since I was little! I had a 105 lb Old English Sheepdog, so I'm very comfortable with big and small dogs! I can go on long, intense walks with hyper puppers or slow, sniff every plant walks! I am currently a college student with a very free schedule! I frequently beg my friends and family to let me take care of their fuzzy friends, and I am available all the time! I do extensive research to make sure every pet has the best care! I follow directions about where pets are allowed to be within the home to make sure everything stays the same as you left it! There will be a lot of outside play time (if it's not too hot) as well as pets and snuggles. I will keep their routine going and make sure they stay happy and healthy!
“Isaiah house sat for our 2 older dogs. His communication was great and did well with dogs. Gentle manner and seems to really like dogs. Came for a free meet and greet with them prior to dog sitting. He even sent pictures of the dogs, which helps when we’re away from them. He also gave the medicine to the dogs just fine, which was really important. We plan to use him again.”
“Rachel was great! She kept our two dogs very comfortable and happy! We were anxious leaving our dogs alone with a rover for the first time and she did an amazing job making us feel relaxed! Flexible and great communication!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Highlands Ranch is $55

Rachael was a PRO! When we did our meet and greet, she immediately put me at ease with her experience and clear connection with my pup and her overall care for animals. I’m super sensitive to my dog’s tummy health and when my dog was feeling sick just before we left, she truly went above and beyond! 🪽 She was incredibly accommodating and our house was like she was never even here. Thanks Rachael!
Leslie was truly wonderful. I fostered and adopted a very traumatized cat that had numerous medical conditions. My cat George, very shy afraid of people and animals. Leslie went above and beyond to make sure my little guy was taken care of properly. She was great with instructions sent beautiful picks. Leslie understood my cats character, overall disposition and background history. Leslie took care of my little guy like it was her own. I highly recommend Leslie taking care of if, sitting etc.. for your furry friend.
Audrey took care of both our dogs and stayed at our house while we were away for a week, she came over before our vacation and met the pups and got the lay of the land. While we were gone there was great communication everyday and photos of our dogs, which was great. We got home and our house was clean and dogs were happy, we cannot recommend her services enough! Our minds were at ease while out of the country knowing our beloved pups and house were in good hands!

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 7,989 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.
