“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.”
About: I’ve cared for animals since middle school, beginning with regularly watching my neighbor’s six cats. Since then, friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, and other household pets. I grew up with many animals of my own and currently have a cat. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m naturally comfortable with them. I genuinely love giving pets the attention, affection, playtime, and care I would want for my own. I work full-time while also studying for the GMAT as I prepare to pursue my MBA. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time with animals. I’m happy to spend my mornings, evenings, nights, and available time providing plenty of companionship, attention, playtime, walks, and care. Depending on location and my schedule, I may also be able to check in during the day. I’m always happy to discuss your pet’s normal routine, how long they’re comfortable being alone, and any specific needs before booking to make sure my schedule is a good fit for them. I’m very respectful of other people’s homes and will treat your space as carefully as I would my own. I grew up in a household with clear rules and expectations, so respecting boundaries and house rules comes naturally to me. I’m responsible, polite, and conscientious about keeping things clean and tidy. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your privacy and belongings, and make sure both your home and pets are well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. This includes daily feeding, cleaning food and water bowls, scooping litter boxes, letting pets outside, walking dogs, and providing regular playtime and companionship. I’m comfortable administering medications, including giving pills and syringe medication, and I always follow care instructions carefully. I’m especially patient with nervous or shy dogs and take a calm, slow approach that allows them to feel safe and in control. I also have experience managing multiple dogs at once and have completed drop-in pet sitting visits, making sure pets are cared for, exercised, and given attention while their owners are away. I’m currently in school and finish at 3 PM, so I’m available in the afternoons for dog walks or drop-in visits. I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, and house rules, to make sure everything stays consistent while you’re away. I take a calm, patient approach with every pet. Especially those who are nervous or shy, so they feel secure and in control. I never rush interactions and always respect your pet’s boundaries. I keep a close eye on behavior and health, and I’ll let you know right away if something seems off. During visits, I make sure doors and gates are secure, leashes are used properly, and your home is left just as you left it. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where your pet feels comfortable and you feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Jenna was awesome and took great care of my pup and the house. She checked in, sent pics, and responded quickly if I had a question. I highly recommend Jenna and will be in touch with her again for our next trip.”
“Connie did a great job looking after our dog Tilda and our rabbit Gizmo while we were out of town. I was extremely anxious with this being the first time leaving Tilda since adopting her with a stranger, but Connie handled it very well and was very communicative with me and listening to our wishes. Thanks Connie for taking such great care of our babies!”
“Bailey is so kind and such an animal person. She checked in while I was gone and let me know how everything was going and the house was left exactly as I left it. She’s a lovely person who I would definitely recommend!”
“Saliha did an amazing job taking care of our cats. She is detail oriented, communicative, and flexible. I can tell that she really loves animals and treats the pets she watches as her own. She sent a lot of pictures and kept me updated. She followed all the instructions we gave her and did even more. I was nervous to leave our cats, as we had just moved, but she helped our cats feel comfortable immediately. Saliha also helped take out moving boxes which was so kind and unexpected!! I would definitely recommend Saliha to other pet owners, especially if you have a shy cat who is picky about who they like!”
“Hunter was great! This was our first time with Hunter for 6 days and it was so reassuring to have him with our pup. He was responsive and sent updates with daily pics even when we were out of service. The house was spotless when we came home too. We will definitely be recurring customers.”
“Amber was phenomenal. Left our house cleaner than she found it and cared so much for our girls. The photos she sent warmed our hearts and truly couldn’t ask for more in a house and pet sitter. Thank you so much!”
“We booked Jessica again for a 5 days to stay in our home and take care of Demus. We've found Jessica to be reliable, provide a lot of attention to Demus, and take great care of our home. We are extremely happy with the service Jessica provides. Thank you again!”
“Brenna was once again wonderful with Koshka and Quito! She was great to communicate with and sent us pictures every day. We came back from our trip to happy, healthy kitties! We highly recommend her.”

Chelsea was amazing! We were worried because our dog had lost her brother and she was still mourning but we returned to a happier dog than when we left (and a cleaner house)! Chelsea gave us regular updates and pictures which really helped easy our anxiety on having to leave.
Steph was an amazing sitter for our 9 month old black lab - she communicated consistently and the house was spotless upon our return. I could tell our puppy was well cared for! We also had a last-minute change to Sula’s feeding routine that required medication and Steph handled it all without any issues. Would absolutely recommend Steph to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy and caring dog and house sitter!
We frequently rebook with Kevin, he is absolutely wonderful with our dogs and treats our home with respect. Our dogs enjoy time with him and they are always well taken care of. Kevin is a lovely houseguest who leaves the house nicer than when he arrives. We will continue booking with Kevin!
Chloe is amazing! We booked her for house sitting on relatively short notice, had a meet and greet with our two large dogs, and they felt comfortable with her immediately. She arrived early and stayed for the full time sending us pictures and updates throughout each day. We arrived to a clean home and two happy pups. I highly recommend Chloe for dog care!
Trustworthy!! I have used Val twice for our miniature poodle. Sweetee is a rescue I’ve had for 2 years. She came to me deaf and with cataracts. After 2 years of having her, she is now completely blind. Val has been very emphatic with sweetee. Val learned how I handled sweetee’s deaf and blindness and made sure that sweetee was comfortable. An important note is that the first time I used Val, I was away for 2 months. Val also stayed in my home with sweetee. I had arranged for family to watch sweetee for part of the 2 months. It became obvious that sweetee needed to stay in her own home. Val was available and extended watching her until I returned home. Thank you to Val!
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.

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.
<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 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 , 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.
