“Absolutely the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! He’s now at the top of our list for future dog care needs. Our dogs are already attached to him. Kevin is a dog lover and it shows on our dogs’ faces. They even made sure to get in cuddles and say goodbye before Kevin left. Top-notch dog care. We can tell they were well-cared for. And, we came home to a freshly cleaned house which he did not have to do, but we can say it was so nice to walk in to this surprise. Kevin is a true pro and should start his own business as he’s simply the best! Thank you Kevin so very much for being so great to our pups and to us! Your gentle soul and genuine love for dogs makes you extra special! We love Kevin! Thanks again!”
“Matt was absolutely fantastic! He took excellent care of my pup and my home. Frannie had such a great time going on walks, getting lots of pets and loving, and snacking on some tasty treats. I will absolutely be booking again with Matt in the future.”
“Niki did a good job watching my extremely timid little rat terrier. She was patient and gave my dog time to warm up to her by the end of the stay. My house was left neat and clean. Thank you, Niki!”
“Zoe was able to watch Ardbeg for a weekend getaway - jumping in on very short notice. She took fantastic care of Ardbeg and kept us updated with lots of cute photos. We can tell that he had a fabulous time!”
“Genna did an amazing job caring for our two dogs (10-year-old boxer and seven-year-old Boston) while we traveled out of the countryfor 13 days. She was so kind and communicative, she sent me pictures and gave me such peace of mind the whole time. Genna truly went above and beyond, cleaning up the dog poop, maintaining a neat and tidy , and even staying an extra night last minute when our flight home was canceled. I feel completely confident having her care for our girls and home and can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Genna! We will be booking with you again!”
“Claire’s calm demeanor was perfect for our anxious 9 year old rescue. She left our home clean and respected our specific wishes for our dog’s care. We will be using her again!”
“Brittany was a GREAT sitter! She was able to come for a meet and greet before the sit which was so helpful. She’s lovely and kind and loved Tilly. We received daily messages and photos and the house was in great shape when we returned. Will definitely call on her again. She’s a gem!!”
“Amazing dog walker/house sitter! She followed all of our cater instructions! She continuously gave us picture updates! I completely trust her to take care of our fur baby! We will be hiring her again in the future when we leave on vacations! I highly recommend Gayle! She did amazing! She did above and beyond when watching Rocky!”
“Emily was fantastic! She was communicative and sent photos of my dog while I was away. My dog can be a little particular about whom she decides to like, but within minutes of meeting Emily, she had gone over and sat next to her for pats. Emily left the house neat and clean, too. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and will do so again!”
“Lisa watched my dog Heidi at my house while I was out of town. She did an incredible job of keeping Heidi active, entertained and engaged. She has a high degree of talent for caring for animals and it was obvious to me that she really enjoys her role as a caretaker. I would 100% ask her to watch my beloved pup again.”
“Pattys the best! I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in her care for a week when I was away. It’s rare to find sitters that you can trust fully annd give you that peace of mind. I’m thankful it was so effortless with her. Highly recommend she went above and beyond with the house care as well. Thank you Patty!!”
“Ellie was so patient with our timid, reactive dog, Olive! She asked all the right questions, took time to learn Olive's quirks, and provided lots of great feedback throughout our trip. Being over 5000 miles away and an 8 hour time difference, it was important we had someone we could trust both with our pup as well as our home and Ellie was a perfect fit. Got lots of photos of Olive cuddled up next to her and she even searched the house for Ellie the day after she left. Will definitely use Ellie on another trip!”
“Mark's love of animals was clear as he spent a lot of time with us before our trip, learning about the medication and behavioral needs of our nervous older dog & 3 cats. We appreciated the many photos, videos and communication he sent during his stay at our house. He put time & energy into building good relationships with our animals who have a wide range of personalities and needs, and he left our home in great shape. I hope we can work with Mark again soon!”
“We are so happy to have found Arianna! Our dog is nervous around new people and it takes someone confident and comfortable to win his trust. Arianna was very patient and persistent and won him over. Felt so good to leave for several days knowing he was not just being fed but encouraged, exercised, loved. I appreciate all her efforts and def book again!”
About: I have had pets of my own all of my life and I have spent more than half my life helping others take care of their pets as well. I have many years of experience house/pet sitting, where I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and other animals for days, overnight stays, and even weeks at a time. I have also worked in a pet store as well as on a ranch where I tended to our resident ranch animals including burros, chickens, and goats. I have a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and I am so excited about using some of my free time to help take care of your pets! I have worked all over California, Chicago, and am currently located in Longmont, Colorado. I am new to Longmont and am looking for full time work, but until that happens I will have open availability most weekdays and weekends. I live with my husband of 11 years, who is also a lifelong animal lover. We have two female, two-year-old miniature dachshunds and two bunnies who live in an indoor fenced-in enclosure in their own room (with a door that closes). Our bunnies have lived with dogs all their lives and have been exposed to many visiting dogs as well. We have never had an issue, so long as the dogs are sweet and gentle. Dogs will never be left alone with access to our rabbits. We always have a meet and greet before we commit to having outside pets stay with us to make sure it is a good fit for our pet guests and all residents of our home. We have a spacious home and fenced in yard perfect for lounging and playing.
About: I’ve always loved caring for animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, giving fresh water, playtime, walks, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I’m patient with shy or nervous pets and understand that every animal has their own comfort level and routine. I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and respect I would want for my own. I’m flexible with my schedule and will work with you to make sure your pet receives consistent, dependable care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I communicate clearly with pet parents and make sure I arrive on time and provide the care your pet needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and individual needs, and I always follow their care instructions carefully. I’ll keep you updated during visits and treat your pet with the same patience, attention, and love I would give my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Longmont
We were thrilled to have Emily come stay at our house and sit our dog while we were away. She was always very communicative and kept us updated on how things were going. Our dog was happy and well taken care of. She left our home in perfect order and clean. I would absolutely have her sit for us again in the future.
It was my first time traveling out of state without family watching my cat and Zoe did a really good job with Tallulah! She kept me reassured and sent frequent updates, as well as sent pictures and videos! She was extremely sweet and communicative and I can’t thank her enough :D
Charlotte deserves more than 5 stars. She takes her role as caretaker of your animal family seriously, and treats your home with the same care and respect. She leaves no trace (except when she leaves things cleaner). She's responsive, responsible, and detail oriented - plus she's a lovely person. We felt completely relaxed on our trip knowing Charlotte was caring for our dogs and cats. We're thrilled to have found her!
Arianna was very responsive from the first inquiry! She watched our dog for 9 nights. I heard from her daily and she was very good at communicating any concerns she had about our pup. He’s a bit of an oddball so he has a few quirks that are not normal. He loved his time with her. We’ll be asking Arianna to house sit again the next time we need it!
Amanda did an amazing job taking care of my dog over a long weekend. She sent great updates and photos, and spent lots of time with my dog to make sure she got the attention and exercise she needed. She took great care of my house as well and kept everything very clean!
Kori did an amazing job watching our pup, Charlie, while we were out of town! She was incredibly caring, communicative, and gave us complete peace of mind knowing Charlie was in such good hands. We came home to a very happy pup! We’d absolutely recommend Kori and will definitely reach out to her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Longmont on Rover is $53.97 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 8,115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Longmont. 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 Longmont 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 Longmont 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 Longmont 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
