“Roxy was a fantastic communicator and took great care of our cat! She went above and beyond cleaning up and leaving everything exactly as we left it. We look forward to using her again!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, normally 3 or more at a time ranging from puppies to seniors. Animals are my absolute passion and I take pride in caring for them and giving them the best life possible. I have recently decided to go a different direction in my life and follow what I am most passionate about, animals. I have always had a huge passion for animals so I decided this is the time for me to do what I’ve always loved and am great at! I currently have open availability! I have a reliable vehicle and happy to travel farther distances for overnight sitting. I can be there consistently throughout the day for pups who have separation anxiety or need frequent potty breaks.
“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!”
“Santiago watched our dog Daisy for the first time and yet it felt as if we had known him for a long time. He was wonderful with Daisy as we could see from the many photos he sent to keep us informed every day. He fulfilled all of our requests regarding food, walks, plant watering. Our house was in excellent condition. He even laundered the sheets and re made the bed. That sure is a bonus at the end of a trip. Because I felt so comfortable on meeting Santi, I booked him for another stay before he had come the first time. It is so wonderful to leave a beloved pet with a light hearted and confident feeling as we did with Santi. Daisy seemed to thrive on his watch.We all look forward to his next stay.”
“Kelsey was wonderful with our dogs while we escaped for a weekend away. She kept us appropriately up to date and ensured they got exercise and love. We came home to a clean house and happy, content dogs.”
“Mary was very efficient in completing everything we asked her to do, and she took long walks with our high-energy dog, which was essential in keeping her stress low while we were away. She paid close attention to both our cat’s and dog’s behavior and was able to tell when they started warming up to her. Thank you, Mary!”
“Brittany housesat for our golden retriever, and she was wonderful! Excellent communication and photos daily while we were away! She also took great care of the house, and we came home to a happy pup!”
“I can't say enough good things about August! He goes above and beyond what I ever expected in a dog sitter. He paid attention to every single detail, from Mila’s specific feeding routine to how she likes to sleep. He is professional, caring, and trustworthy. I received daily photo and video updates, which was incredibly comforting while I was away. Mila was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved when I returned home, which says everything about the quality of care. I highly recommend August to anyone who wants their pet to receive 5-star treatment! He also did amazing extras like making sure my packages got inside and I came home to a spotless house. I cannot say enough good things about him! I will definitely use him in the future.”
“Chelsea was so kind and patient with our fur babies and our home while we were away. We loved her updates and pictures, and our dogs were so relaxed when we came home! We would have her stay with them again in a heartbeat. 😊”
“Matt was a fantastic pet sitter for our cats, Zuko and Winnie. We always had very clear communication, he sent us great pictures every day, and he took great care of our cats and our house. Our cats loved him.”
“Brian has watched our Siberian cat twice now and been wonderful both times. He sent lots of cute photos of snuggling and playing and the house was spotless. He’s also just a really nice guy. Highly recommended!”
“Arianna was such a great Dogsitter for our girl! She kept our house immaculate, took our pup out on tons of walks, and communicated well throughout. We would definitely have her back in the future and recommend her to anyone!”
“Ellie makes our trips so seamless. She sends lots of photos, seems to genuinely love pet sitting, and is respectful and responsible in our home! She’s our top choice!”
“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!”
“Isabella was great staying with our three pups! It’s hard for us to board outside of the house all together, and Isabella graciously came to stay with them over the weekend we were gone. She provided daily updates and the pups were all healthy and happy when we got home. We will definitely be reaching back out to her next time we’re out of town!”
“Patty was absolutely amazing with our senior guy. She took great care of him, provided daily check ins, and was an amazing houseguest. We will absolutely hire her again!”
“Chadd took great care of our dogs during our two week trip, providing regular updates in the Rover app at our requested interval and managing a complication very professionally. When we had a leak spring up, Chadd contacted us promptly and worked with one of our family members to facilitate repairs. The dogs were clearly well-loved and received appropriate food and exercise in our absence. The house was perfectly clean and he even took care of washing the bedding. I highly recommend Chadd and plan to book with him again in the future.”
“This was our first time using Connie. She stayed at our house over the weekend with our Bernese Mountain Dog pup while we were out of town. We received lots of photos and updates, which was so wonderful! Connie kept us updated on how Boken was doing daily and left the place looking exactly as we'd left it. We were super happy!”

Mary was great with our two dogs. We had a last minute dog sitter cancellation, and she came to our rescue. One of our dogs is a recent rescue adoption, so she (the dog) has some quirks that we are working out. Mary was very patient with them, and our dogs really loved having her around.
Lauren is great and we will definitely book with her again! She took great care of our bernese mountain dog who can be a bit challenging on walks and likes lots of attention, was always very responsive and sent us updates, and also was a great houseguest. Thanks Lauren!
Kelsey watched our 2 little pups over a holiday break and watched our apartment - and we came home to happy dogs! Over the moon with her care. She's unbelievably attentive and kind and our dogs fell for her upon their first meeting. Thank you! Highly recommend Kelsey.

FAQs for House Sitting - Niwot
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Niwot on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,194 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Niwot. 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 Niwot 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 Niwot 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 Niwot 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.

- 94% 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.
