“Michael was super flexible when my timing wasn’t what was expected. I really appreciate him being able to stay with my dog an extra hour. He walked her all around Vail, let her play with his stuffed animals, and gave her a massage with his massage gun. We got picture updates throughout the day, and he was super responsive to all messages. Will definitely use him again in the future”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our puppies! She was very responsive and was able to help us out on very short notice. She stayed at our place and was kind enough to come by a couple of days beforehand to meet the dogs and learn the setup of our home. We felt completely comfortable leaving our pups in her care. We would definitely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and caring sitter for their furry friends! 🐶❤️”
About: Hi! I’m Kiyah 🐾 I’ve lived in the Vail Valley for 8+ years and absolutely love spending time with animals. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and dog sitting has become something I genuinely enjoy doing. I have lots of experience dog sitting and house sitting, primarily for homeowners in Beaver Creek, Vail, and Bachelor Gulch. I’m very comfortable staying in their homes while they’re away and making sure their dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their normal routine. I’m the kind of person who will happily spend extra time on a walk, play outside, give lots of cuddles, or just hang out with your pup on the couch. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re being well cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, clean, trustworthy, and communicative, and I’ll treat your home and your pets like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pup! 🤍 I work full-time during the day, so my pet care fits best around my work schedule. I’m available most evenings, weekends, and for overnight stays. For house sitting, I’m comfortable staying in your home and keeping your pets on their normal routine while you’re away. I’m happy to work around your pet’s schedule and make sure they get the attention, walks, playtime, and care they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know they’re happy and doing well! 🐾 Your pets aren’t just a job to me — I genuinely love getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m very respectful of your home and your pets routines. Whether I’m stopping by for a walk or drop in visit, or staying overnight in your home, I’ll make sure your pets get the attention and care they’re used to. I’m happy to follow their normal routines, give plenty of playtime and cuddles, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I’ve spent lots of time caring for pets and staying in clients homes throughout Beaver Creek, Vail, and Bachelor Gulch, so I understand the trust that comes with having someone care for both your pets and your home. I’ll always treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to have for mine, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and little checkins so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands.
About: I've been dog sitting for the same family for over 5 years, caring for both large and small dogs. Through that experience, I've learned that every dog has different needs, personalities, and routines. I have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, giving medications, and following special care instructions. I'm also comfortable with puppies and dogs that need frequent potty breaks due to small bladders. Whether your dog is calm and cuddly or high-energy and loves adventure, I'll make sure they get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I treat every dog like they are my own so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Even though I work a full-time job, I always make time for your pup! I understand how important it is for dogs to receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to work around my schedule to provide your furry friend with the care they deserve, whether that means going on walks, playing, getting some fresh air, or simply enjoying some extra cuddles. Your pup’s happiness and well-being are always a priority, and I’ll make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away! I currently live in a studio apartment, which may not be spacious enough to comfortably accommodate a dog for an extended stay. However, I’m happy to welcome pups for shorter visits when needed!
About: I have raised 3 dogs from puppyhood with my family and have taken care of my friends and family’s dogs. I had experience with puppies and older dogs. I work part time jobs meaning I have plenty of time for your animals and to prioritize their needs. I have my own vehicle and live with my family. I have a fenced in yard with 2 very friendly dogs up in Redcliff. My dogs spend most of their time outside and with people. There is typically someone always in the house meaning the animals are never left alone for long periods!
“Matt was wonderful. He was super patient before the sit as we were trying to book a sitter on a different platform. He came over before the sit to meet us and the dogs. He was super responsive and communicative before and during the sit- and was great about sending us pictures throughout our vacation. He also was willing to stay a bit later on the last day as our flight was delayed. The house doesn't look like anyone was in it and all so everything was as stress free as it could have been. I would highly recommend him to anyone.”
“Alison did a great job with our two cats while we were away for a week. Very professional, understanding of feline behavior, and took the time to know them. We've asked her to come back & stay with Boo & Tyson when we do a short trip in September. I would recommend Alison to any pet parent.”
“Trisha was great with our dogs. She is intuitive about what the dogs need and how to manage them. She was also good with communication and super flexible on working with us to accommodate logistics. Would definitely rebook.”
“Santana was an awesome sitter for cricket and minnow! She was able to sit on short notice and sent daily photo updates of the pups! She was communicative and courteous during her stay. I’d recommend her as a sitter anytime.”
About: Currently in Leadville. Ready to meet some new doggos. I’ve been dog sitting since 2015. I have a standard poodle who is great with other pets and loves to play. I have a ton of space for play! We are very active and love getting outside and we are in the perfect area for that. I have two pretty awesome pups, both high energy poodles, so rain or shine we find a way to play outside. They go lots of places with me and I usually work around their schedule! 🐩 🐩 Make sure I know the ins and outs of the home and everyone is always comfortable. My dogs have their favorite spots and safe places and I know when I’m in clients homes to always be aware.
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life! I have pet sit internationally and around the US. I am a professional dog sledding guide and love any animals! I have done it all from pet sitting to animal rescue and rehabilitation to dog sledding! I am wide open! I am a seasonal worker so I am completely free in the spring and fall, 7 days a week. I am open to walking/overnight pet care whenever. I love playing outside and will take your pup out as much as possible! I have a super sweet 4 yr old dog who loves to play and keep your pup company!
“Krystina was the best and we will definitely be using her again!!! She stayed at our place with our boys and the house was spotless when we returned. She even washed the sheets and remade the bed! She followed all of our instructions to the T! It was obvious she really cared. We highly recommend Krystina!”

Clare is awesome! We needed someone at the last minute to take care of Moby while passing through Vail briefly for an appointment. She met us where we parked and walked him 3+ miles to her home for a playdate with her pup. Super nice, on time, and great with Moby. Highly recommend!!

The average cost of House Sitting in Minturn is $111 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $49 and $273 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 Minturn 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 Minturn 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 Minturn 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.
