About: Most of my pets have been dogs and some of them have been older than a year or two months old, currently open to learn more. Currently looking for a part-time and love dogs. I have been taking care of dogs since I was in elementary school and currently have one. I live in a small apartment and get to walk her around the city and usually walk her two times per day during the weekends
“Elaine is an angel on earth!! We have a pitbull who is hyper active, anxiety-ridden, and who we are very protective of!! We sheltered our dog to the point that we didn’t trust anyone near him- even though he is one of the funnest, most loving, and such a good boy. We didn’t trust anyone to be able to care for him the way we could..so we missed out on a lot. Enter, Elaine!! The first time she met him she was so calm, cool and collected. Especially when you meet a pit, most get a little suspicious but she never hesitated- he loved her and was very comfortable with her. We decided to give it a go!! Elaine followed all of our instructions to a T. She went above and beyond by playing with him and letting him be himself. She sent the cutest little updates of him and made sure to tell me everything about their day!! We could not be more grateful to Elaine and can’t wait for her to sit him again. I could not recommend her more!!”
“Liz was amazing with my house and especially with taking care of my little zoo. All my animals were happy and fed when I returned home. I love her attitude most of all. She is a special person who really knows animals and how to care for them.”
“Thanks to Chloe for caring for my cat, Neko, and my turtle and snail. My pets are high maintenance and Chloe followed all my instructions even a last minute change when I had to house my snail separately. I came home to happy pets after my trip.”
“Scarlett is outstanding! We booked her for 10-days housesitting. She took great care of our 2 large dogs. One is a mellow senior with medical issues, the other a hyper 1yo. Juggling the 2 so different dogs is not an easy task, but Scarlett did it well and attended to all their needs. The dogs loved her! Scarlett is by far the best sitter we booked through Rover, and we had many fine ones. I trust her 100%.”
“Bethany was an amazing sitter for my pug and two cats!! She was thoughtful, kind, and sent me lots of photos during my time out of town. She even clipped my cat’s nails, it turns out she has done that professionally in the past! Finally, Bethany was also available on short notice, which was extremely helpful. Highly recommend!!”
“Jasmine did an amazing good house sitting for me! she kept my home clean and was very attentive to my animals. I would recommend her for any dog sitting/walking, thanks!”
“Sami was great! We have a new rescue puppy that has not had a night without us since we got her. We had plans we couldn’t break so I found Sami on Rover and gave her a try! I liked Sami the second I met her and new our beloved pup would be in good hands! Thanks Sami for taking great care of Scarlet!”
About: I’ve spent over a decade in hospitality and operations, running shifts at places like Starbucks I’m used to juggling a hundred things at once while staying calm, warm, and on schedule. Turns out that’s great training for dog care too: reading personalities fast, sticking to routines, and making sure everyone (two legs or four) feels comfortable in a new environment. I’ve got a dog of my own, so I know the drill: the 6am zoomies, the separation anxiety whining, the food that “definitely doesn’t cause gas.” Whether your pup is a couch potato, a chaos gremlin, or somewhere in between, I’ll treat them like they’re already part of the household. Ten-plus years in hospitality means I’m used to following exact protocols and communicating clearly, and I apply that same discipline to pet care. Safety and consistency come first, in my home or yours. I keep a calm, predictable environment because cats do best with routine, so I stick to feeding times, litter maintenance, and any specific instructions you give me exactly as written, no improvising.
“They were amazing taking care of my sweet girl Luna who get nervous and barks like crazy with any new people! She was over that in a minute and had the best time while we were gone! And even the cats were happy! No small feat, would definitely use you guys again! Thank you!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for the cats and dogs of friends and family — handling feeding routines, daily walks, drop-ins, and keeping pets happy and comfortable when their people are away. I’m calm, attentive, and treat every animal like my own. Your pet will always feel safe, loved, and right at home with me. Pet care is a priority in my routine, not an afterthought. My schedule is flexible and mostly open, which means I can show up consistently and give your pet the time and attention they actually deserve! When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. Your pet stays in their own space, surrounded by everything familiar — their smells, their favorite spots, their routine. I follow your lead on feeding, walking schedules, and any specific needs your pet has. I match my energy to theirs — calm and quiet when they need to decompress, playful and engaged when they’re ready for it. Your home stays tidy, your pet stays comfortable, and you stay informed the whole time!
“Jessica did an excellent job of taking care of our home and l, most importantly, our dog while we were away for a week. She was extremely communicative and paid attention to our older dog’s needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again.”
“Hannah stayed with our 3 dogs for 6 nights and we came home to healthy, happy dogs and our house in the same condition we left it in. Hannah sent regular updates and asked questions as needed. We were able to relax and feel confident our pets were getting the care and attention they deserved. Thank you, Hannah!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Mariel was so enthusiastic and caring, gave our dog lots of attention and love, and kept us updated throughout our time away. We especially appreciated all the photos and videos—it was so nice to see how happy and well cared for our dog was. Communication was excellent from start to finish. We would absolutely recommend Mariel and will definitely book with her again!”
About: My previous experience was primarily in vet medicine by being a vet technician. I've cared for puppies and kittens all the way to their golden senior years. I've been by their side through happy events to some anxious times, and provided calm through it all. I can provide a safe and calming environment for pets. I also have personal experience with having a dog and cat of my own. Most of my availability is Friday-Monday. I can pet sit overnight, or make a check-in during the day. Please let me know at least two days in advance with information on your loved fur-baby, so I can be prepared and make accommodations for them. I will care for your pets as I do mine. Sometimes they come up for pets and cuddles, other times they require space. I will acknowledge their needs and try to understand their body language to bridge the language barrier. Also, if they need play time, require more attention, or have anxiety, I can accomodate.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, birds and recently cats. I have always been the go to animal person. I currently take care of my senior chihuahua and raised a kitten rescued as a stray. I run as a hobby and have gone on long/short walks or runs with different pups. I work remotely half the week where I’m home all day and weekends. Half of the week where I’m in office and am available in the evenings such as after 5pm. I have a fenced home. I have pet cams in the home and outside. I enjoy providing updates such as messages or photos throughout the day.
About: As a pet owner myself, I understand that leaving your pet can be difficult. I am here to ease your mind with detail and care. I am currently studying and working remotely so I just have some set hours of work I need to do, but I can still keep an eye on your pets I can and will follow any and all instructions for your pets and home. I am responsible and respectful while also very caring towards your pets.
“Brittney was a dream! She watched our 1 year old dog dash who’s got some funny sleeping habits and she cared for him with some much love and patience! Took him round with her so he wasn’t lonely and even took him on a beach walk, all the things he’s loves to do with us :)) 10 out of 10 would recommend Brittney and she left the house exactly the way we left it!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Keystone
Taylor is an absolutely ray of sunshine - you can tell just how much she loves and cares for animals the moment you meet her. While this was my first time having a sitter for multiple cats / extended amount of time, I feel we both learned lots through this experience. Taylor was very responsive and communicated multiple times a day. She also appreciated the notes I left all over the house! The cats loved having her around, and I can tell she made a huge impact. She also helped grab mail, packages, etc while she was here so we didn’t have to worry. Taylor is such a wonderful human and an even better sitter - with everything I learned through this experience, I would highly recommend working with Taylor and will again in the future!
Scarlett is awesome and a total lifesaver for me and my new rescue dog, Bonnie, and was able to spend time at my place for a few days while I traveled. Bonnie is very new to me and learning to trust new people, and so requires some patience. Scarlett is so knowledgeable and understanding, and took extra care to make sure Bonnie was comfortable and feeling confident! I’m so grateful. Scarlett also took great care of my place, leaving it super clean and was wonderfully communicative.
This is the second time Kristina has stayed with my babies and this time I was gone for about 2.5 weeks. It felt so good knowing they were safe at home and I didn’t have to worry that they were being taken care of well. She sent daily updates and pictures. When I got home my girls were happy and healthy. Kristina is a great choice!
Allen was excellent! From the time we met at the initial meet & greet, he went out of his way to connect with my fur baby. He plopped down on the floor w/her, let her sniff him, and immediately showed her love and attention. During the visit, he sent pictures and kept me updated on a regular basis. When I returned home, my dog was happy, well cared for, and my house was spotless! I would recommend him 100% if you need a dog and house sitter!!
Absolutely amazing experience with Velvet! She took such great care of my two dogs and treated them like her own. I could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after the entire time. Velvet was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs absolutely loved her, and I truly appreciated how caring and responsible she was. I would 100% book with Velvet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets!
Chloe was wonderful. She was really helpful, especially with it being a last minute booking and holiday. She took great care of the animals and the house was left exactly how it was. She was very communicative, cooperative, and came to meet everyone without hassle. I highly recommend her!

The average cost of House Sitting in Keystone is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $92 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. 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 Keystone 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 Keystone 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 Keystone 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Keystone. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
