“Ayla and Han were so lovely! They took excellent care of our dog and were sure to send photos daily, which we loved. Ayla and Han also took great care of our home while we were gone. We came home to a clean house, which was appreciated. We will definitely be booking with them again in the future!”
“I will absolutely be using Aislyn again to watch my dogs. The dogs loved her and she communicated with texts and photos. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs!”
“Absolutely amazing. She sent us daily pictures and was so good with our geriatric dog. She left the house so clean and was an excellent communicator. She will be at the top of our sitter list from now on.”
“Madeline is awesome! She takes such good care of my dogs including walks! She sends lots of videos so I never worry. Also, my house looks amazing when I get home!”
“Tamarine spent one night with our dogs, and handled them beautifully. Our one-year-old lab had never spent a night without us and we were pleased she took to Tamarine right away. She happily played in the backyard. Tamarine's calm demeanor helped win over our older Chihuahua as well. Both dogs were happy and well cared for. Looking forward to having Tamarine watch them again for another trip coming up. No doubt they will all do great!”
“Wonderful pet sitter, sent cute photos and left the house in pristine order. My pets enjoyed her company and she cared for them exceptionally well, including my little geriatric 16 year old Papillon.”
“Bryce was the perfect sitter for a week away. He stayed in my home for 7 nights and was diligent about sending pictures and updating us. He did a lot of preparation before his stay: a meetup beforehand, a walkthrough of the home, and asked detailed questions about taking care of my pup. He was also very respectful of the house and even vacuumed and took out the trash before leaving (which was not required!). Impressed is an understatement. I’ve already hired him again for a weekend away next month. Highly recommend.”
“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.”
“Lara did an exceptional job of caring for our kitty, Finn. Making sure someone was with him when schedule changes came up, and working with us when we had a travel emergency as well. She is kind, caring, responsive and responsible. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Caleb did an awesome job house-sitting for us. He took great care of our old puppy making sure he was comfortable and happy while we were away for a week. He also took good care of the house like taking the trash out without being asked, taking some misdelivered packages over to the neighbors, and keeping the house clean and in good shape. Next time we need a house-sitter we will definitely reach out to Caleb and hope that he is available.”
“Nathan was fantastic with my dog. My dog can be reactive with other dogs and I'm particular about his care/environment, but I could tell Nathan went above and beyond familiarizing himself with my dogs needs and set up. They seemed to have bonded and my dog got new experiences and adventures! He left my home clean and was considerate in all interactions. I'm glad to have found Nathan for my dog and will book again.”
“Mitch was available last minute for some holiday plans that got moved around. He always responded very quickly. Our dogs were very comfortable around him and he left our house exactly as he found it! We’ve never had someone we don’t know stay in our house while we were gone but Mitch made us feel very comfortable.”
“Rachel was amazing! She stayed at the house and took care of our two dogs - the boys were well cared for and clearly had a good time. She kept the house clean and tidy and was great at communicating. We would definitely have her come back and stay!”
“Esther is amazing!! The first time house sitting and caring for my pups, one of them had to be taken to the emergency vet for an issue that happened prior to her arriving. Esther when out of her way to communicate and expressed her concerns, thoughts and feelings about what needed to happen. Esther felt like part of the family and her opinion and knowledge were invaluable. Thankfully the pup was able to go home after a short visit. Esther found everything she needed in the house and freezer to change the pup's diet to the vet orders. On top of ensuring my other dog was loved and walked, Esther took the time to clean up prior to leaving. I seriously wish I could provide more stars. I'll never be able to completely express how amazing Esther is, but I will say when booking work travel in the future I will be coordinating my trips around her availability.”

Holly took very good care of our two dogs. She took them for walks, cuddled on the couch with them, and even watered our plants while house-sitting for us. Holly was responsive to our requests for info and updates, she left the house clean - she was very responsible.
Kailey was absolutely wonderful! She stayed with our cat Manna for 10 days while we were out of town, and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She's fully remote, so she was home with him most of the day, which is exactly what he needs since he's a super cuddly boy who loves company. Kailey sent us photos and updates every day, and it was clear Manna was happy, relaxed, and well cared for. She kept up with his feeding, litter, and playtime, and by the end of the stay he was sleeping in her room and following her around like they'd been friends forever. She was also incredibly communicative, flexible, and easy to work with from the very first message through the meet and greet and the whole stay. We came home to a happy, healthy, spoiled cat and a clean house. We would 100% book Kailey again and can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you so much, Kailey! 😺
This was our first time using Maggie as a sitter. She rescued us at the last minute because the other sitter canceled. I started a search for a replacement at 10:30 at night, Maggie responded and, by midnight, we scheduled a Meet and Greet for 1pm the next day. She let me know when she was on her way and arrived promptly. She met Chat, the cat, asked great questions about his food and schedule and about the house since she would be staying for 4 days. Maggie also communicated her own schedule. She sent daily pictures of Chat. The house was tidy when I returned and Chat was safe and happy. So grateful for Maggie saving my vacation at the last minute and doing a fine job. We will definitely request Maggie in the future!
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Highlands Ranch is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $78 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 , 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.
