“Joy did a great job caring for our cat Gomez. She sent us photos of him, which we appreciated, and was a great communicator throughout. We highly recommend Joy and we’ll be reaching out to her in the future. Cheers!”
About: My family always had three dogs growing up, so I'm experienced with different dog sizes and temperaments. I'm experienced in special needs and senior dog care. I love play time, hikes or walks, and giving lots of pets or letting dogs have their own space. I work a hybrid schedule in Boulder, so I'm available to stay with pets during some weekdays and let them out/give them a midday walk. I lead an active lifestyle and would be happy to talk dogs out for a walk/hike/run. I do not care for pets in my home, but I'm happy to accommodate my client's typical schedules, sleeping arrangements, and walk/feeding times in their homes.
“Wenqi did a great job taking care of our dog and cat. She’s an awesome communicator and gave us lots of great updates. She took great care of our 6 month old dog and even went above and beyond repairing a crate and stuffed dog when our little monster broke them. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 13 years old. In the past 16 years, I’ve developed animal communication skills which allow me to psychically communicate with animals. This ability helps me understand what animals want, need and feel. My services include a combination of practical, thorough and detail-oriented care with psychic guidance and support. I know how to keep animals calm and centered on their walks and give them plenty of time to play! At the end of each day with your animal, I provide a text summary with photos and any relevant updates. I have experience with cats, dogs and snakes. I am a graduate student in the Mindfulness-Based Transpersonal Counseling program at Naropa University, where I am studying to become a children’s therapist. I work part time at Art Parts, a creative reuse center, and my shifts are five hours or under. My flexible schedule allows me to tend to animals in between shifts and classes. I lived in a fenced community with a dog park on site and next to Scott Carpenter park with grassy fields and a creek. For dog owners, I can take the animals outside to play frequently! For cat owners, my apartment is a cozy duplex with plenty of room to roam and windows to look out and watch local wildlife. If I am to visit your home, I will adapt to your animals needs and routines as seamlessly as possible.
“Alexis took amazing care of our cats and especially bonded with our kitty who often has separation anxiety. I felt completely at ease on our trip getting all of her encouraging updates.”
About: I’ve had cats almost my entire life and have always been a huge dog lover. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of friends and family, ensuring they’re happy, well-exercised, and loved while their owners are away. I understand the unique needs of different pets and always strive to make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or keeping a home safe and tidy, I take my responsibilities very seriously and treat every pet like it’s my own. I’m eager to provide peace of mind to pet owners while traveling and look forward to meeting your furry family members! I am currently working part time at a health food restaurant in Boulder. I work about 4-5 hour shifts and often get breaks. I am happy to take on more work by housesitting or dog walking, in between, or outside of my scheduled hours. My schedule is flexible and well-aligned to where I could often be at home with your babies giving them all the love and attention they need. I’ve always had a deep connection with animals and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I take my responsibilities very seriously and treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I’m a very clean, responsible and loving human and look forward to sharing some love with your furry ones.
“Savannah is incredible. We have an older anxious pup with some separation anxiety and it’s sometimes hard to leave him with sitters, but he loved Savannah right away and we came home to a happy, relaxed pup. She went above and beyond in general, we also came home to a tidy house and she was really communicative about how our dog was doing while we were gone. We could not be more grateful for her and could not recommend her more!!”
“Brad is awesome!!! We are just back from a 9-day trip and our dogs are happy and the house is just as we left it. He sent pictures daily of the doggies on their walks and just chilling at home. We couldn’t be happier with his attentiveness and thoughtfulness. Brad his highly recommended!”
“Katavah is always such great help with our pup. She was so so kind and when I realized I booked for the wrong dates, she moved around her personal schedule to help me watch suz an extra night. She went above and beyond and so appreciative!”
“Roxy was a fantastic communicator and took great care of our cat! She went above and beyond cleaning up and leaving everything exactly as we left it. We look forward to using her again!”
“Tigran was a great dog caregiver. He shared some of his knowledge about dogs and He is a great communicator and quickly responded to all contacts. He provided daily photos of his walks with my dog and reached out as needed for clarity around house and dog needs. Tigran was respectful of our home and able to manage some complex house events while we were away. I would happily employ Tigran again.”

I’m highly organized and reliable, so I can easily fit regular visits, walks, or medication schedules into my routine.

I provide loving attentive care in any setting; treating every home and pet with respect, following owners’ instructions closely while keeping pets safe and happy. In my home, I make pets feel comfortable by accommodating to their needs, such as litter boxes, crates, toys, food and water, or special set ups. I adjust my space so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home. I have a back yard that dogs can run around in while I keep a watchful eye and throw them a ball if they please! I’m experienced with medications, special diets, and seniors or anxious pets, ensuring they’re happy and well cared for anywhere.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lazy Acres
Lynzee was great! She stepped in to fill a gap we had and seamlessly covered everything! Biscuit is slow to warm up usually, but loved her right away during the meet and greet. She sent plenty of pictures while we were gone and followed all the instructions perfectly. She was easy to reach and clarified anything ahead of time to make sure he had the best care. We’ll definitely use her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Lazy Acres is $39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $47 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 Lazy Acres 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 Lazy Acres 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 Lazy Acres 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.

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.
