We had a last minute 5-day trip pop up, and fortunately Jamie responded quickly and scheduled a meeting. Sophie can be a little grumpy around new people, so we asked Jamie to bring her dog Copper which was the answer. Copper brought out the puppy in Sophie! Jamie shared videos of the two playing. The house was immaculate on our return and Sophie was friskier than usual. We might need to borrow Copper! Thank you for a great weekend. We will call Jamie for our next trip.

Eric was a wonderful house and pet sitter! Our dog, Willow, loved Eric and his dog Rufus. Eric took Willow on many hikes and left our house in pristine condition. We would definitely recommend Eric to anyone living or staying in Summit County! Thank you so much!

Ken was awesome! Our boy Gunnar was obviously well taken care and the house was cleaner than when we left it. Ken dropped by a couple of days after house/dog sitting for us and Gunnar was beside himself. Friends for life. We won't use anyone else. We highly recommend Ken, just not when we need him:)

About: I've grown up with dogs and have been a resource for friends and neighbors to rely on for taking care of their pets while they are traveling or at work. Happy to travel around Summit County and nearby areas. I work from home a lot of the time, so I have a great schedule for walks, activities and lots of love. I try to spend as much of my free time outside at parks, on walks or hikes and just outside in general! I do not currently have pets and am willing to travel to your home for pet car and overnight stays. I will take great care of your pet and offer a safe, loving friend for them while you are away.

About: I've grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I also volunteered at a local animal shelter for two years, where I cared for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout my visits. I'm currently a sophomore at the University of Colorado Boulder majoring in Business. I'm involved in the Real Estate Club, Finance Club, and the Leeds Scholars Program. During the summer and school breaks, I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I'm an active person who loves being outdoors, so I'm always happy to take dogs on walks, hikes, or spend extra time playing outside. I pride myself on being dependable, punctual, and responsive, so you can count on me to provide consistent, loving care. Your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs. I take the time to build trust with each animal and create a calm, loving environment where they feel comfortable. My previous work experience in customer service—including retail and most recently in the jewelry industry—has taught me responsibility, attention to detail, communication, and professionalism. I'll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands.

About: I was a foster parent for the Larimer Humane Society for years, have been around animals since I was a child. I love hanging out with pets of all shapes and sizes. Cant wait to walk and talk to pets. Walk outside first thing in the morning, breath of fresh air for the pet and myself, snacks & treats inside, play time, nap time, treat time, walk time, food, snacks, walks, play. All at the animal's preference and best needed. I have a long leash and close eye on pets. Able to put pets into a kennel or remove any negative impacts quickly. The pet's needs are first and foremost important.

About: I am taking a long break from pet sitting unless it’s dogs I know very well. Tundra and his B’s will be chillin for now. I currently work PT locally in town and some from home. I am looking to supplement my income with pet sitting and other services for animals I care for your loved ones (pet or otherwise) as I would my own family. That is what I am always hoping for with my sitters for my pup or my mom. They get let out supervised often and also have a big sunny enclosed upstairs deck to hang out on weather dependent.

About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.

Alec is a very kind, helpful, and thoughtful pet sitter. He watched my dog for an extended period while I was in Alaska and out of cell service. Despite being unable to reach me, he took excellent care of my dog and went above and beyond to make sure my apartment was also well cared for. I felt completely confident that everything was in good hands while I was away.

About: I have over 30 years experience raising, training, fostering, foster-failing and generally loving and caring for dogs. I work from home so will be with your pet most of the time and I love to go for long walks and runs with them. I am very active (walk, run, hike...) and have a large fenced in yard and a dog park nearby to keep your pup busy and well-exercised. Most of my clients are repeat customers as they find my services truly a "home away from home" for their fur-baby. Although I am new to Rover I have several references available outside of Rover - feel fee to request any you may like to see. I work from home so I am able to let dogs out every few hours in our fenced yard. Also walk at least an hour a day. Dogs in my home are treated as (and sometimes better 😉) than humans. Run of the house and the fenced yard. Lots of love and snuggles. Lots of walks/hikes/fetch/etc.

FAQs for House Sitting - Jefferson

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Jefferson on Rover is $52.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 266 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Jefferson. 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 Jefferson 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 Jefferson 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 Jefferson 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Jefferson. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
