“Once again we return home to a contented pup and a very clean home! Santi leaves everything in perfect condition! He is an excellent communicator and his photos of our Daisy are heartwarming! Highly recommend! Will certainly use Santi in the fiuture!”
“Connie was amazing with our dog! She took such good care of him and was very thoughtful looking after his needs as he is a senior. She sent videos and pictures throughout the day. We couldn’t ask for more and will definitely hope to ask her to help us out again!”
“Dylan is truly a phenomenal Rover - she took the best care of our 3 pups while we were away on vacation and we had complete peace of mind while she was with them. Couldn’t recommend her more - thank you again, Dylan! We appreciate you so, so much!”
“We love Rikku! He brings us peace and security knowing our furbabies are well cared for while we are away. He responds quickly and sends frequent updates about them. It makes our trips so much more enjoyable not having to worry about them.”
“Colleen did a fantastic job taking care of our boys. Both are pretty high needs in very different ways. One needs medication on the clock, twice a day. The other is young, high energy and wants constant attention. Colleen was stellar! We came home to happy pups and a clean house!!! She is mature, respectful, communicates wonderfully, and asks questions. We felt so confident and relaxed while on our trip knowing she was there. I highly recommend Colleen to care for your animals and your home.”
About: I have always loved animals of all kinds and have lots of experience dog sitting as well as cat sitting! I am willing to take the extra step to make sure your pet feels safe and taken care of! I have been missing my dog (Millie) while studying at CU Boulder so I would love to spend some quality time with your pets! I am currently a senior at CU Boulder and have time to watch any pets in between classes, afternoons, and on weekends. I have a car so I can drive to your home for any of your pets needs! I am more than happy to come to your home for overnights, afternoons, or whatever else you may need! I live in boulder so I can bring your pet here to walk around Chataquah or any other park! I am also happy to take them to the dog park!
About: I have not had a single day, in my 21 years on this planet, without owning 1 dog and 2+ cats. I know just how important our pets are to us as they are part of our family! Other than taking care of my own pets, I have fostered cats for 10 years with my mom. This includes baby bottle kittens to senior cats. Also, I take care of my neighbors and friends pets! I’m in school but my schedule is very open so I can do any time of the days. Also my weekends are usually completely open! I have done all the basics for animals like feeding, cleaning after and taking them for walks. I have also had to feed my pets medicines if that is necessary for your pets too
About: Hi! I’m Olivia — an energetic and caring sitter who truly enjoys keeping homes and animals safe, calm, and well cared for while their humans are away. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs and routines. I also have experience tending houseplants and gardens, ensuring plants are watered, healthy, and thriving while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, maintaining routines, or offering companionship, I treat every home, animal, and plant as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide you with peace of mind and a truly cared-for home while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my life right now—I'm a seasonal farmer, so winter months give me a lot of open time and flexibility. If I'm petsitting for your loved ones and your home, I can provide them lots of affection, care, and quality time doing their favorite things, whether that's lounging in the house or hiking in the sun and the snow. Whatever their pace, I'm happy to match it and make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time. I get to know each pet's routine and personality before jumping in, so they feel comfortable with me quickly. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and any meds, and I pay close attention to their energy and mood so I can adjust as needed—extra patience for the nervous ones, extra playtime for the energetic ones! I send photo updates so owners can relax, and I always leave the house just as tidy as I found it.
About: I love frequently getting outside for a walk or run, rain or shine. I have house sat for many different people in my home town, including our local Veterinarian. I also spent time working at an Animal Shelter, therefore have had interaction with many different breeds/ages and thoroughly enjoy taking care of, hanging out, and playing with animals. I have helped with senior / puppy care and am highly responsible, caring, and loving. I currently am not working and can offer my full attention to in home stays, walks, or drop ins. I can do multiple breaks, walks, and quality time. The animals are the priority. I tend to them first thing in the morning, throughout the day, and before bed. I am timely with regular meals, fresh water, regular breaks (every few hours, never longer than 8 hrs), attention/affection, and exercise are basics of what I provide.
“We’ve used Savannah several times now and we always know she is in great hands. This last trip was longer and we had a potential home issue while she was there that she was happy to help provide us with info, video evidence, and responded quickly which was above and beyond! She always is patient with our little girl and shows her a great week while we are away!”
About: I provide personalized care including walks, feeding, medication administration, litter box care, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Experienced with senior pets who need extra patience and support, confident with energetic puppies learning routines, and attentive to cats who thrive on calm, respectful care. Your pets stay comfortable at home while you’re away, and you receive consistent updates for peace of mind. I’m dedicating all my time to helping pet parents like you get the care they need for their pets when they can’t be there I can come to your house and give your pet the attention they need… whether it’s walks, playtime, litter box care, administer meds or just be there for cuddles!
About: Hi, I'm Emely! I’m a dependable and attentive pet and house sitter who truly loves animals! I understand how important it is to leave your pets and home in the right hands, so I treat both with care, respect, and attention to detail. Whether it’s keeping your pet on their routine, giving them extra love and playtime, or making sure your home is just as you left it, I’ve got it covered. You can relax knowing everything is safe, clean, and well cared for while you’re away :) I am a freelance writer and work from home! So I have plenty of time and flexibility to tend to your fur buddies and take them on walks multiple times of day. I follow your pet’s routine closely and prioritize a safe, clean environment at all times. I respect your home, monitor your pet’s well-being, and provide updates so you feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Chelsea did 4 nights of overnight sitting in our home with our Goldendoodle Chance. I appreciated that she did a meet and greet prior to the overnight booking. This allowed Chance to know who she was when she arrived on the first evening after work. She updated with pictures each day and a short description of any news from the day. Definitely recommend and will book again!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!
“Nicholas was great! My dog took to him immediately and after our initial meeting, I was also very comfortable hiring him to care for Gracie while I was out of town. It was clear he loves animals! He left our space clean and tidy and sent a few photos and updates about Gracie, which were greatly appreciated. I am happy to recommend him to other pet owners in need of loving care while away from home.”
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.
“Yolanda was wonderful! I felt so comfortable knowing my pups were well taken care of and loved. The house was spotless when we returned and she even left us goodies. Thank you so much!!!”

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!
Chadd took great care of our dogs during our two week trip, providing regular updates in the Rover app at our requested interval and managing a complication very professionally. When we had a leak spring up, Chadd contacted us promptly and worked with one of our family members to facilitate repairs. The dogs were clearly well-loved and received appropriate food and exercise in our absence. The house was perfectly clean and he even took care of washing the bedding. I highly recommend Chadd and plan to book with him again in the future.
Chadd communicated well with us throughout. He confirmed with us the day before coming over to our house each time we had an appointment and then he was always a few minutes early. Our dogs warmed up to him quickly after he arrived at the first meet and greet. He came a second time a few days before we left to go over everything in detail. We were gone for two weeks and he sent pictures of the dogs frequently. He also watered our garden and house plants and they all survived well despite the heat. When we returned home, the dogs seemed perfectly happy and well cared-for. The house was clean and Chadd had cleaned the sheets and towels he had used. We highly recommend Chadd.

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

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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
