“Sarah was/is amazing. Our pups were super happy and the house was a dream to come home to. She was very easy to work with and provided lots of photos and videos. We will definitely be using her again. Thanks so much Sarah!”
“Amanda was great with Ezra! She knows how to connect with dogs. Her occasional messages throughout the day were nice. I would definitely use her services again. Amanda was on time.”
“Sharon was so good with my two. She arrived right on time, understood how important it was to us that our girls were treated differently (11 yr old and 4 month old). Josephine, especially, took to her right away. Sent updates and pictures. Will book again when the need arises.”
About: I have experience walking large dogs that pull a lot and am happy to take your dog on a hike. I will respect whatever routine for your dog you are most comfortable with. A little about myself, I am currently studying for the LSAT so I will be doing Rover and that. I don’t have other commitments besides the LSAT so am very flexible. I have plenty of time to spend giving your dog attention and making sure all his/her needs are met. I am studying for the LSAT at home, and just quit my full time job, so I will have plenty of time to give your dog the care he/she deserves I have an invisible fence for my own dog, but I will put your dog on a leash when I take him/her out to make sure they are safe. I will respect your wishes.
“Ciara took very good care of both my dogs, especially with one of them needing medication and special care. She also sent updates and pictures throughout my trip. Thank you!”
“Vivian was amazing! She stayed with our three dogs for a weekend trip at our house and cared for them fantastically. She sent many updates and pictures of our fur babies and you can tell she really loves & cares for your pets like her own. I was worried since I have an anxious one but she was able to quickly overcome her skiddish behavior relatively quickly & soon enough they were best friends. She followed all the instructions given and even did more than asked. You’re amazing Vivian! Thank you so much!!”
“Charis was amazing! Gave great updates on the animals and photos! She rescued us when my husbands flight was delayed and saw the animals again! Will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs for years and love everything about them and happy to take care of everyone’s dog no matter how they are I have experienced bathing them and feeding and walking and playing with them It fits into my daily routine as everyday day I feed and walk both my cat and dogs throughout the day when I am not at work I care for them with the upmost respect and love since these little animals are my favorite! I am the kind of person who will give your animal the best possible experience I can offer
“Great communication and took great care of the dogs and the house. Wouldn’t even have known anyone had been here. Also went above and beyond with a few extra requests. Can’t recommend her enough and hope to have her watch the dogs and the house again in the future. Thank you!”
About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.
“Our pampered puppy loved the services. We appreciate having a trustworthy professional stay with our dog and watch over our house. We appreciate the photo updates, communication, and responsiveness. Plan to use the sitting service again and again. Our dog did very well staying home under Maddison's care.”
“Madison was amazing! Right on time for both the meat and greet and sitting. Sent pictures and updates. House was exactly as I left it. I was also slightly behind and she was incredibly gracious.”
About: I am a self-sufficient, independent living in Monument, CO who has taken care of two amazing dogs for the past ten years. They are 75lb lab mixes. Since I have them, I prefer not using my home, but I am more than happy to do house visits. I have rescued and rehabilitated all my dogs with grace and patience. I adopted my third dog, a senior dog, Chloe when she was nine years old and cared for her until she passed last year at the age of 14. I strongly believe in being happy and healthy and my dogs as well as yours deserve the same. I am committed to giving your dog(s) the best treatment possible, I promise to love them as if they were my own! My hope is that my flexibility will allow pet owners to relieve some stress and get the help needed especially for the holiday season! I am currently working at a cardiology office Monday - Friday. I am available evening and weekends as needed. I am available weekends for overnight if requested. I always keep a close eye on my furry friends while they’re outside. I’m constantly monitoring for potential hazards, such as something they could injure themselves on, as well as the temperature outside. I always make sure to come prepared with a backpack that contains water and a bowl, as well as a small first aid kit, in case, either of us gets injured! I have some medical experience, and I can sometimes transfer that experience to my pets.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 9 . My family has relied on me to walk their dogs , feed and bath them I’m currently employed part time but seeking to work extra hours. Trying to find gigs such as this which could work with my class schedules and my other personal things. I have a fenced yard in my house, and friendly dogs as well. I usually take my dogs on walks every morning and evening depending.
“Opal was absolutely amazing with Nalla and Shaggy! She has a fantastic personality, communicated consistently, and sent us pictures every day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were happy and well cared for. We will definitely book with Opal again and highly recommend her!”
“Ryleigh is fantastic! We highly recommend her! Both dogs love her! she’s prompt, made sure the dogs always had fresh water, kept their area clean, and sent updates (with pictures). We will definitely be using her services again, thank you😁”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Monument
Sarah was great! She communicated well from arrival to departure and treated Bluey as if he was her own dog throughout. Admittedly Bluey can be a challenge - 90% lovable and 10% tough - and she handled him well. Our house was left in perfect order - just as when we left. We would definitely use Sarah again in the future.
She was absolutely wonderful with my pups! She took such great care of them and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats pets like her own. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with my dogs and would 100% book with her again. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Monument 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 Monument 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 Monument 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
