“Sarah was/is amazing. Our pups were super happy and the house was a dream to come home to. She was very easy to work with and provided lots of photos and videos. We will definitely be using her again. Thanks so much Sarah!”
“As a first time Rover user I was nervous but Ashlee was great and sent updates and photos throughout the day. Louie gets anxious when he’s alone so we needed someone who could be with him the majority of the time and Ashlee made that happen. We will definitely be booking Ashlee again! Louie said 5 stars.”
“This was the first time we left our dog with a pet sitter. Becca was very patient with her and was very understanding of the uncertainty that our dog was experiencing. I will definitely have her petsit again and highly recommend her!”
About: I'm a fur Mom of a highly active pointer pup and know how important it is to provide proper care and play time for him. I am now working from home and have a flexible schedule to walk or check in on your pets. I personally know how much it means to have a caring person take care of my little guy when I am unable. I live in Eagle and will travel to Vail for an additional charge for walks and home visits. I have experience with clients staying at resorts that need assistance during they day while they enjoy skiing or exploring this beautiful valley. I also am able to provide references from clients along with those in the hospitality industry if needed to assure you that I'm the right sitter for you. I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home and have a flexible schedule that can be adjusted at anytime to care for your pets. I love animals and they brighten my day. I love walking and staying active. Dog walking is my FAVORITE. I'm very caring and respectful when it comes to watching your pets in your home.
“Amanda was amazing with my babies!! My dog is really anxious and she gave her time to warm up, was patient with her and gave her lots of snuggles! My kitten is a crazy boy and she was able to play with him as much as he needed and I knew my animals were in great hands! I came home to my apartment cleaner than I left it, and my animals were so happy!”
“Heidi stayed with our Reggie for 5 days while we were out of country, was 5/5 thrilled with how she kept us updated, cared for Reggie and our house and loved Reggie like he was part of her own family. It’s such a relief to have someone to rely on like Heidi, Reggie had a hot spot and upon return it’s very clear that she cared for him just like we would have. 100% recommend Heidi for any of your future fur help and care!”
About: About Me Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a wife and mom to two boys, ages 8 and 14. We’re a big animal-loving family and definitely have a full house already! We have two dogs of our own a Goldendoodle named Gus and a Boston Terrier named Bosco… as well as two bearded dragons and a leopard gecko. My boys would probably love to keep adding more animals, but I think we have enough for now! 😂 I have experience pet sitting for friends and family and have also helped care for pets in my neighborhood. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away. I’m excited to use Rover to meet more pets and families in my community and continue building my pet-sitting experience. I’m dependable, caring, and will treat your pets like they’re part of our family! Right now, I have a very flexible schedule. I work from home with no set hours and my kids are both in school so have lots of free time ! I love doing a meet and greet beforehand so I can get to know your pet and their routine. I appreciate detailed instructions and will follow them closely to keep your pet comfortable and cared for. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know they’re happy while you’re away!
“Dezerae stayed overnight for 5 days with my 2 crazy, shedding pups! We couldn't have asked for a better person to stay at our house. She sent pictures daily and cleaned up after her stay as well. I highly recommend her and will be using her in our future needs.”
“Alyssa was great! She was really responsive and great with asking questions as needed. She left the house in beautiful condition and even vacuumed so we had a less stressful return home. Our girls seemed great on our return and we will for sure be using Alyssa again!”
About: I've taken care of pets since I can barely remember. I am reliable to take your pet out, feed then, walk then, change the litter box, etc. I love all types of animals and would love to watch yours next! I'm currently working part-time at the moment. I am able to and would love to watch your animals! I've stayed and watched pets before and took excellent care of them. I do have a fenced on area for the dog to go potty. I also love to go on walks and get the animal out. It makes me so halpy to see them happy!
“Emma was absolutely amazing! We had her watch Smokey during our wedding. He can be a little rambunctious but she did a great job and she was so flexible. We could tell she cared about our boy and wanted him to feel comfortable. Would highly recommend her!!”
“Heidi was so fantastic! My dogs loved her. She communicated well, and took great care of my home in addition to my 2 dogs. I’ll use her again for sure!”
About: For the past 20 years, we've enjoyed sharing our lives with the pets we always wanted growing up. Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are our top priorities. We have 14 years of experience caring for cats and 6 years with dogs, including large breeds up to 100 pounds and dogs who are anxious or reactive on walks. My wife and I both work from home full time with flexible schedules, allowing us to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. We believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and individualized care. We'll do our best to maintain your pet's normal routine, reinforce the positive training you're already using, and help them feel comfortable while you're away. We're experienced with positive reinforcement, loose-leash manners, crate training, enrichment activities, and medication administration for both cats and dogs, including subcutaneous injections for cats. (Let's face it—the humans usually need the most training!) We know that exercise is only part of the picture, so we enjoy incorporating sniffing games, enrichment, and other mental stimulation, tailoring activities to your pet's age, personality, and energy level. We currently provide care in your home, including house sitting, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, medication administration, and, of course, cuddles and companionship for pets who enjoy them. Our family includes two friendly Labrador Retrievers, Lulu (6½) and Moose (11½), who keep us active with hiking, fetch, and enrichment games. They've given us years of hands-on experience understanding dog behavior, meeting individual needs, and creating a fun, structured environment. While you're away, we'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. We understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and we'd be honored to earn that trust. We look forward to meeting you and your companion. My wife and I both work from home full time with flexible schedules, allowing us to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the day. Our day starts out with walks, rain or shine, and always includes fetch or tug sessions. Our dogs also love to play keep-away with us in the yard or house. We will provide whatever type of play your pet loves! Our yard is surrounded by our neighbors' yards, all of which are very quiet and usually empty. We have one friendly dog next door that is always taken in if she barks, so it's a good environment for more anxious animals. It's a very chill place to hang out, and we also have a back deck where our animals like to sun themselves, and a nice concrete patio shaded under the deck until the last 2 hours of the day. Our dogs go in and out all day as they please. If there is extra energy after dinner, we have a little more play time before we wind down. The humans usually hang out with the dogs in the family room at night watching or reading something. It's a great time for snuggles and scritches. We don't allow dogs on the couch, but we do get down on the rug and hang out with them at night. Our youngest dog Lulu usually decides when she wants to go to bed and lets us know. Our senior Moose is more of a night owl who gets put to bed when he's good and tired, usually after he's fallen asleep. We understand that each routine is different and do everything we can to make our four-legged guests feel comfortable and at home. We have a four-foot fence in good condition around our yard and two friendly dogs. We are always happy to take any pets who like to jump over and explore, out on leash, and supervise playtime. We don't love dog parks for our pups but are happy to take yours if that is your preference. We know the personalities of all the dogs we pass each morning as we walk through the neighborhood, which allows us to adapt if your dog has any concerns about walking.
“Courtney was reliable, showing up when she said she would (even earlier!) and she cared very much about keeping the dogs to their normal schedule & routine as much as possible. She was awesome at sending updates & caring for our dogs and house.”

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 Larkspur 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 Larkspur 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Larkspur 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.
