“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.”
“I have two very large dogs.. one older requiring some medications and careful care and another needing good exercise and energy. While I was away Ken sent a few photos of my happy boys and I came home to calm content pets. My house was in the same order left and I will definitely use Ken in the future !”
“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!”
About: Hi! As a kid I had multiple dogs through out the years; a Golden Retriever, Jack Russel, Chow mix, and now my parents have a 110 lb Golden doodle who I see a few times a year. Here in Colorado I have my own Wire Hair Terrier and "something else mix", named Iko. He's a sweet heart who loves to run, hike, back country ski, and lounge on the porch in the sun. I think dogs are happiest when getting enough exercise, attention, and socialization, and I promise to provide that for your pup. My husband and I petsit for friends often, and love having some extra pups in the house, it helps our dog get good healthy socialization and tuckers him out a bit! Both my husband and I work from home, so your pup wont be left at home alone for long periods of time. Please let me know if your pet does have any separation anxiety, or if being left alone is a concern. My house has a 1 acre fenced pasture for your pup to run around in, I'm also less than a mile from National Forest where I can take your dog on leashed walks/runs.
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: Grew up with a dog and taking care of neighbors animals. Missing a furry guy or girl to walk on my daily walks. I work as a patrollers and EMT at the ski clinics. Comfortable with first aid and giving meds. I work during the weeks till 5pm but willing to stop by after work or before! Free most weekends just reach out and see what we can coordinate. I live in an apartment with roommates so I can't host dogs. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pup in your home, where they’re most comfortable.
“Trisha was great with our dogs. She is intuitive about what the dogs need and how to manage them. She was also good with communication and super flexible on working with us to accommodate logistics. Would definitely rebook.”
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: Need a sitter for your pets while you’re away? I provide loving pet sitting in summit county. Having a pup of my own, I understand that pets are family members. I will treat your loved one to outside excursions, play and attention so that you can have a worry-free adventure of your own! I am also available to house sit! Being a homeowner myself, I will treat your home with the utmost respect and care. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give your pet the attention he or she needs. I can bring your dog along on my daily trail runs if you’d like. Animals are on a leash at all times outside of confined spaces unless the owner specifies otherwise. On longer runs, I make sure dogs have access to water.
“Alison was amazing! She stayed with Miles over Christmas and took great care of him. She gave plenty of updates and left the house spotless. Highly recommend her if you want some peace of mind while being away from your pet.”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I have house trained cats and dogs and get along well with pets of all temperments. I have stayed in other people’s home without a hitch and would love to huck a disk in the sun with your pup! I work full time, so this my side hustle. I will not commit to your pet if I do not have the time, your dogs deserve better than someone who forgets or doesn’t have time. I cannot house your dog at my place, but I will take good care if your home. I know the best walking routes for your ball of energy!
About: I have owned a dog my whole entire life All different makes and models. Last time we boarded our dogs they ended up getting kennel cough, and one of them almost died and I thought I could do better than that in my own home for other people to not have to go through that. Dogs love me and love going on walks and hikes with me and there will always be toys and treats. They will be stoked to go on the walk or stay at my house. I am new to Rover, but give me a chance and you’ll see that I will take great care of your furry loved ones. I typically work from noon until eight, but I dip out around four for a dog walk of my own. I also get 4 miles in every morning with my dog and yours is welcome to join. I can also have your dog at my house all day long. I have a fenced in backyard, but they are also welcome in my home as long as they are house trained. I also have crate on hand if that is better while they are inside. Plenty of toys, treats and long walks (or hikes if it’s ok)
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Jefferson on Rover is $52.5 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 273 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.

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.
