About: Having been a dog lover since childhood, I’ve always had dog sitting gigs for a side hustle. I also managed a professional boarding kennel for 5 years where I learned to care for pets of all sizes, personalities and needs. The great outdoors are my life, and I have grown into a passion hunting dogs, and have spent the last 4 years training my Labrador retriever. I have two dogs of my own, West, my four year old trusty hunting black Labrador, and Tilly a nine year old German Shepherd mix. I’m mostly available on weekends (Friday-Sunday), but depending on your dog’s daily needs, I can be flexible. I live in Oak Creek, but work in Steamboat Springs at a very dog friendly environment. I ensure your pet gets the basic care they need, plus extra love, photos, and time outside. I am flexible on whether you want me to stay in your home, or in mine, again depending on the specific pet’s needs and location.
“Erin was AMAZING! She's responsive and respectful and took wonderful care of my big fur baby while I was away. Ziggy was so loved by her and taken care of, and the house looked immaculate too. I couldn't ask for a better sitter. Thank you Erin!”
“Eryn took great care of our dog and our house. She made sure he got enough walks and had everything he needed. We will definitely ask Eryn to take care of our dog again.”
About: I love taking care of all animals: dogs, cats, birds, etc As a steamboat local I have a deep love for our home, local wildlife, and furry family members. I’ve also been raised on a sustainability mindset, mindful of electricity, water, and waste as it impacts our community. I often care for the pets of local friends of many years but am keen to make new friends (furry or not!). I prioritize keeping them engaged through play time and exercise (spring creek is my favorite trail to take pups on) I pride myself on patience, especially the youngsters, and am always happy to keep up with training programs I’ve also seen several cats and dogs through the end of their lives, and emphasize the importance of their comfort, as they’re all kittens/puppies/young at heart and deserve the attention to keep them feeling that way. With my current transition through my marine biology career, I’ve got loads of free time and am able to prioritize the needs of any pets that are letting their owners enjoying well deserved holidays! I have my own car so I am able commute to take care of any that need and bring them on the best local adventures. I live out of town, giving a pup a chance to enjoy the freedom of country life, on or off leash. My own family dog, a border collie named Millie, loves new friends (she was the one comforting other pups during her time in shelter life) and is always happy to show them around the rural neighborhood. We have a closed garage and lockable doggy door for safety at night. And a comfortable living area with adjustable temperature for any pups sleeping crates. Though if they are partial to snuggling, pups are always welcome to night time cuddles.
“Kevin was a fantastic sitter for our two dogs. Sent lots of photo updates, was very responsive, and even did some unprompted leash training! Would absolutely recommend him to anyone and will definitely be booking him again!”
“Joan did a great job watching Rico and Acadia! She was very proactive and helpful, which was greatly appreciated. If we need a dog sitter again, we will definitely hire her!”
“Krystal was amazing!! Great communicator, sent me pics and vids of my pup, took THE BEST care of him, and somehow left my house cleaner than she found it!! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“I reached out to Lora because our original sitter had canceled last minute. She was very responsive and flexible, and we booked it. Despite our dogs being a bit crazy the day she came-because we were finishing packing- she handled it really well. An hour after we left, she texted me and said they had calmed down. She did awesome- she walked and hiked them everyday, and they were happy and exhausted. I think she took amazing care of them, and updated me throughout. They were obsessed with her! I am so grateful to have had Lora be our pet sitter, and I do hope we can work together for another booking again.”
“Emma is great, my dogs welcomed her company easily. She is easy to communicate with and took good care of our space while we were away. We highly recommend Emma for any pet/house sitting needs:)”
“Perrie did a fantastic job. Caring and loving with my 17+ year old Westie. Perrie was also on time and followed all my directions regarding medication, feeding and walks.”
About: First, I live in Craig, but willing to try to make pickups work in Steamboat, meeting halfway or we travel for the gym often, so please don't hesitate to reach out to discuss. We have a large yard that is great for active dogs. There is always an adult in the house to watch/care for your pup, my mother in law lives with us, Mark is home often and we have 2 kids, ages 10 and 12. I enjoy being around dogs, and feel comfortable dealing with some simple behavior issues. I am very specific with my dog and willing to be as specific with yours if needed. I am active and can give walks daily. Please don't hesitate to let me know if any special needs and I'll do my best to be accommodating. I am active lifestyle and so going on walks and waking up early are part of my normal process. I am willing to work with any situation as best I can. I maintain control of situations and always attentive to behaviors or signs of fear or aggression to make sure it is addressed before any issues arise. I used to train horses when I was younger so the patience and consistency is something I've grown up with towards animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - Oak Creek
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Oak Creek on Rover is $46.62 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 92 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Oak Creek. 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 Oak Creek 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 Oak Creek 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 Oak Creek 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 Oak Creek. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
