Kairi did a great job with my 3 pets. I especially appreciated the time she put into giving me photos and feedback. She took care of everything!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing our experience with Kim was. She stayed with our pups for 3 weeks!! They were so well taken care of, and Kim also went above and beyond to accommodate a service visit from a repair man, as well as running to the post office to retrieve a much needed prescription refill for one of our dogs. She is more capable and responsible than any dog sitter we have ever had!

Laura was the best pet sitter for my 2 dogs and 2 cats for in-home care. They all accepted her from the first meeting. She respected everything in the house and though it wasn’t expected had tidied the house before our arrival home making for a great homecoming. I will certainly have her care for the pets again.

Rhonda has been so great with Oso during her walks with him. He was recently neutered and she cared for him all day the day after his surgery. She has been so kind and gentle with him and Oso loves her! It’s nice that Rhonda has experience as a veteran vet tech to care for our pup.

About: I am as die-hard an animal lover as it gets. Name an animal and I am passionate about it. A lot of people in this town love to hunt but I could never do it. You know those princess movies where they sing and all the birds and animals coming running towards her? That’s me. I have worked as a dog sitter for the past 3 years with many many repeat clients and regulars. I worked on and off this app for a year and have worked at the Humane Society and a professional Doggy Boarding business. I value my friendship with each and every one of my dog clients. In the past, I’d load my 4 regulars in the car and we’d go to the local dog park together (with the parents permission of course) and then everyone would get a puppichino afterwards. I pride myself on having open availability and being affordable for the average person. I work part-time so my schedule is easy to work around. My old girl past away about a year and a half ago, she was my childhood dog (she was supposed to be a family dog, but she was always mine. I took her with me when I moved out) so now I only have my one cat, Breakfast. I still feel the urge to hang out with a dog but I don’t think now is the right time to adopt another one, so I love to hang out with other peoples pets to fulfill that need lol. That’s why I’m so passionate about my job. Intrigued? Questions? Concerns? Let me know! I look forward to hearing from you! I work part-time here in town so I have a relatively open-schedule and plan my week with my dog schedule in mind. I have to no problem staying over, dropping by to throw the toy around, or going for an hour walk. I’m very attentive and caring. I may dote on your pets too much even. Its important to me to maintain a patient and understanding attitude when dealing with pets. I always make sure they are clean, fed, and well exercised. Of course they can sleep on my bed or my couch.

Nathan watched our 2 dogs and cat while we went on vacation for 6 days. We had never used Rover before so we're a little nervous. But he did great and the pets were taken good care of. Updates and pictures were sent many days. Very appreciated. We will be using his services again.

About: When me and your dog get together, and I’ll drop off your dog. Your dog will tell you how much they enjoyed the excitement and plans, but we did the amount of walks we do in the amount of time to play play fetch go to the dog park go on a run, the amount of snacks that we eat it’s like a dream come true just in dog form. I love my dog and being outside so I will love your dog just as much maybe more! Every day of the week Sunday through Sunday whenever I can play with your dog or changes going on a walk is the perfect time for me. I care for the dog like it’s my dog. Anytime of the daylight and sun is up is when we will be outside and enjoying the sunshine and breeze

About: Services offered: Dog sitting, Cat sitting, other animal sitting, dog walking, dog behavior reinforcement, animal enrichment, basic grooming/sanitary shaving/mat removal, medication administration (oral, IV, IM, SQ), daily routine encouragement, and more! All services are tailored to your pets needs! What sets me apart is my combination of veterinary, shelter medicine, behavior, and hands-on pet care experience. As a current veterinary technician and former Medical Manager at a Humane Society, I bring a deeper understanding of animal health, behavior, stress, and emotional well-being than the average pet sitter. My care philosophy is rooted in positive reinforcement, patience, and trust-building. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an anxious rescue, a senior pet, or a cat who prefers quiet companionship, I tailor my approach to their individual needs and personality. Clear and concise communication with you as the owner, is utmost important when caring for your fur baby! I am experienced with medication administration, senior pet care, behavioral support, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure while their families are away. My background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health and communicate any concerns promptly. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with compassion, attention to detail, and a commitment to providing a low-stress, enriching experience that supports both their physical and emotional well-being. We’ll start by discussing your pet’s unique needs, routine, and preferences, as well as your expectations for their care. From there, we’ll create a plan that works best for both you and your pet while fitting within my full-time work schedule. I pride myself on being flexible, reliable, and easy to work with. As a veterinary professional, I have the ability to adjust my schedule when needed, including stopping by during the day for potty breaks, medication administration, or check-ins. For overnight care, I can provide visits before and after work to ensure your pet maintains their routine and receives consistent, attentive care. My goal is to make the process as stress-free as possible, providing dependable care and clear communication so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I provide care for your pet(s) in the comfort of their own home because I believe familiar surroundings are essential to their emotional well-being. Remaining in their normal environment helps reduce stress, anxiety, and disruptions to their routine, allowing them to feel safe and secure while you're away. This is especially important for cats, as changes in environment can often lead to stress-related behaviors and, in some cases, illness. By keeping your pet in their home and maintaining their usual routine, I help create a calm, low-stress experience that supports both their physical and emotional health. Rather than requiring your pet to adjust to a new setting, I come to them. This allows your furry family member to receive personalized, compassionate care where they are most comfortable—right at home. My goal is to provide peace of mind for you and a positive, stress-free experience for your pet.

About: I have experience both in professional animal care and pet sitting. I worked at a veterinary clinic as a receptionist and vet assistant, and I’ve also been a pet sitter since I was a teen. Hi! I’m Olivia, and I love caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. I live in Rapid City and have experience both in professional animal care and pet sitting. I worked at a veterinary clinic as a receptionist and vet assistant, and I’ve also been a pet sitter since I was a teen. I currently work full-time as a Registered Behavioral Technician and take online college courses, so I’m looking to help with dog walking, drop-ins, or short visits a few hours a week. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and excited to spend quality time with your furry friends while you’re away or busy. I’m happy to provide references from past clients and am comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities! provide personalized care for dogs in their own home to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. During visits, I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, exercise, and any special needs, and I make sure to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and positive interaction. I take the time to observe each dog’s personality and mood so they feel secure in their environment. I also clean up after them, refresh water, and make sure their home stays tidy. My goal is to give both the pets and their owners peace of mind knowing they are well cared for in their familiar surroundings.

About: I currently have 2 dogs of my own who are very friendly and playful. I can work with high energy or calmer/older dogs always taking the time to get to know them during our visits. I work full time but enjoy staying busy on my days off. Requests can be made for days I work as long as it is far enough out. We do not have a fence but do have tie outs at our own home. Willing to take your pet to any park of your choosing of course. I also have an XL wire crate if they need that at any time during a stay, otherwise they are free to roam.

Candice took very good care of our pups which can be challenging. She stayed at our home and left it better than she found it which I really appreciate.

FAQs for House Sitting - Keystone

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 72 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Keystone. 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 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 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
