About: I've had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have cared for pets through every stage of life, including senior animals. As a volunteer with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington in Virginia, I worked directly with shelter cats by cleaning kennels, providing food and fresh water, and monitoring their living spaces while being mindful not to cause unnecessary stress. This experience taught me how to respect each animal's comfort level, recognize different personalities, and provide calm, attentive care. I also volunteered with Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation, where I helped socialize animals and connect potential adopters with dogs that matched their lifestyle. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, or needs extra patience, I will provide reliable, compassionate care and follow their routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Pet care has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. This summer, I am completing an internship with Walking Mountains in Avon with varying hours throughout the week, but I am fully available on Mondays and Tuesdays, which are my weekends. On most other days, I am available before work and in the evenings for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. Having cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and helping them feel comfortable when their owner is away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm happy to adapt to your pet's individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions before providing care. Whether I'm visiting your home, taking your dog for a walk, or staying overnight, I'll ensure your pet receives attentive, reliable care. Through my volunteer experience caring for shelter cats, I've learned the importance of being patient, observant, and respectful of each animal's comfort level. I'll follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own.

Melissa was great! She took great care of the dogs and our house, and sent lots of cute updates. The highlight was when she took them on a Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day and dressed them up in tutus. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. It really made our trip easier knowing the dogs were in good hands. I would highly recommend Melissa.

About: I grew up in a family that raised seeing eye dogs, so caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love animals and I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and routines. New to Rover but excited to meet new local fur friends! I am also a photographer & can send you adorable pics of your cute pup(s) if you’d like. I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability. Happy to walk or hang with your fur baby while you're away. Often available for last minute emergencies! I work as a freelance photographer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available most days. I’m happy to help with regular walks, drop ins, house sitting, and last minute needs when they come up. If you have an emergency or unexpected change in plans, please feel free to reach out! I’m not currently able to host pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in their home where they feel most comfortable. I’m respectful, professional, and very mindful of keeping your space clean, secure, and even better than you left it.

I work in Avon for the local science center which provides a flexible schedule! I hope to find time to work with you and your fur babies!

Ellie was phenomenal!! She said multiple nights at our house with our dog. We got so many fun and active photos of him, looking so happy 😊 we could not have asked for it to go better. We even had some electrical problems happen at the house when we were away and she went out of her way to help mitigate them! 10/10!

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

About: Kaylie grew up in a busy, animal-filled home—surrounded by everything from dogs and cats to bunnies and guinea pigs. Axel grew up with dogs and cats of his own. While we don't have any fur babies of our own currently, we loveee animals! We've spent the last few years pet-sitting in people's homes through other platforms to get our "furry fix." We currently maintain a 5-star rating with glowing reviews from our previous house and pet sits, and we'd be more than happy to share those details with you! Your pet will have plenty of company here! Axel and I both work remotely, so someone is always home to provide attention and companionship throughout the work day. We love to stay active and naturally break up our tasks with frequent walks. Whether your dog prefers a gentle stroll or a more rigorous hike, we’re happy to tailor our activity level to their needs—including longer adventures after the work day is done. We are located right on the Eagle Valley bike path, which serves as our massive "extended backyard!" While we don't have a fenced yard, our active lifestyle means your dog will never be bored with multiple dedicated outings throughout the day tailored to their energy level.. We specialize in "on-the-go" care, taking full advantage of the nearby paths, hiking trails, and park for long walks, fetch sessions, and fresh air. Your pet will enjoy a fun stay with constant companionship and plenty of variety.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and have been trusted by my friends and roommates to take care of their dogs while they are away for the day or weekend. My ideal day when watching a friend’s dog is going on a hike or walk and then coming home to cuddle/hangout on the couch! I’m a teacher who works Monday-Thursday, which allows me to easily take care of your fur babies for a long-weekend trip or getaway. I am also able to come over before/after school to check in or stay with your fur babies. I am an extremely trustworthy, clean, and safe person who will always prioritize your pet’s needs first. I always make sure to abide by the rules/expectations you have established for your fur babies to keep them on routine and provide the best care possible.

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, caring pet sitter who treats every animal like they’re part of my own little family. Whether your pet is playful, shy, senior, or a full-time couch potato, I take the time to understand their personality and routines so they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. I take pet care seriously and always: - Follow your instructions closely - Send regular updates and photos - Keep your pet’s environment clean and comfortable - Prioritize safety, patience, and kindness Your pet’s comfort and happiness come first—and my goal is for you to travel with total peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I work from home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than only before or after work hours. I’m able to plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, medication schedules, and check-ins, and I enjoy building those moments into my routine. Because I’m home most of the time, pets aren’t left alone for long stretches and can stick to a familiar, low-stress schedule. I make sure each pet gets both companionship and quiet downtime, depending on their needs. Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routines, preferences, and any special needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. In a client’s home, I respect your space and follow your instructions exactly to keep your pet’s routine consistent. I make sure doors, gates, and litter areas are secure, and I always double-check locks and safety measures. I treat every home and pet with care and responsibility, just as I would my own. Across all services, I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing, and I prioritize clear communication, patience, and reliability.

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. Pet sitting fits well into my routine because I work part-time with flexible 7-hour shifts. My schedule allows me to provide morning, evening, and overnight care, as well as regular potty breaks and exercise. On workdays, I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and communicate clearly with owners about any time I'll be away. I currently live in a shared studio apartment, not quite big enough to home a dog for an extended period of time but can have quick in and out visits if needed.

Mackenzie and our cat got a long so well. She sent video updates and was prompt, organized and mature. She stayed with our 16 y.o cat while we were out of town for most of a week. Upon our return, our boy was happy and relaxed. We will definitely use Mackenzie again!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a horse farm in Virginia, surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a part of my life, and I have experience with dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies who need patience and training to senior dogs who deserve extra care and attention. I treat every pet like they're my own and always strive to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment. I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be home throughout the day. That means your dog will get plenty of attention, and companionship instead of being left alone for long periods. Whether it's a walk or an overnight stay, I'll keep your dog safe, active, and happy. I'll provide walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and lots of attention so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Minturn

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Minturn on Rover is $79.92 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 318 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Minturn. 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 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Minturn. On Rover:

  • 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
