“Sarah was absolutely incredible. Not only did she come through last minute after another sitter cancelled with no explanation, she was also very accommodating to our schedule for the meet and greet. She was extremely professional and thorough in making sure she understood our pups needs. On top of that, she helped Molly get used to her new couch stairs and played fun enrichment games with her. She left the house spotless even though we told her not to worry about cleaning up. We knew Molly was in good hands when she warmed up to Sarah instantly as it usually takes her a few days to get used to someone new. We were will definitely be booking with Sarah again.”
“Mya was amazing with my pup!’ He is reactive and anxious, and she was so incredibly patient and understanding with him. She sent regular updates throughout my trip, and I honestly felt so much relief knowing he was safe and well cared for. I'm already planning to book her for my next two trips! She also took great care of my home, and I truly can't say enough great things about her. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Debra! She took great care of my dog and home while I was away! My dog was very well loved and taken care of, with lots of long walks! She was also great at communicating while I was away. I will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thank you Debra!!”
“Amanda was amazing with my babies!! My dog is really anxious and she gave her time to warm up, was patient with her and gave her lots of snuggles! My kitten is a crazy boy and she was able to play with him as much as he needed and I knew my animals were in great hands! I came home to my apartment cleaner than I left it, and my animals were so happy!”
About: Our pets are our family and they should be treated as such ❤️. I am a full time nurse and do not need this job but I have two dogs that were very difficult and stubborn to train and I would have loved to have someone like me to be there if I went out of town or on vacation because I only ever trusted myself with them. I never went on vacation in their younger years because I was so scared someone would be mean to them or not care for them like I would if I boarded them. So I have decided to do this part time because every pet should be treated with love and care because they ARE our family ❤️🐾. I assure you, you won’t be disappointed if you trusted me with your family. I love all animals so much and quite frankly we don’t deserve their love and loyalty ❤️. Please choose me! I am working full time so I won’t be able to take all jobs but please reach out and I will try to make it happen. My schedule fluctuates so I can’t give certain days but if I am off work I will be there. I will treat your dog as you would just let me know any restrictions, dietary concerns, medications if they take them, certain ways they like things done or special things you would like done for your loved one and it will be done.
“Charlize was amazing with our two large dogs. She had excellent communication and sent lots of photos throughout our time away. We would highly recommend her.”
About: I grew up with 6 bulldogs who needed attention both medically, physically, and emotionally. I genuinely love dogs and treat all of them like my own; understanding that dogs are family! I recently graduated from high school ant Palmer Ridge and am attending HVAC school in the fall at Pikes Peak ( this program will be part-time leaving me time to care for dogs). I enjoy caring for dogs in their own environment as I have found many dogs become stressed when they have to adapt to new environments. I appreciate detailed instructions on your dogs feeding and activity level to in order to best take care of them!
“Edyn was great and my Bulldog loved her and her Cowbell. She did a wonderful job and is coming back tomorrow for a week. We are so happy with her warmth and care for our Bulldog and home. Thank you so much Edyn!! :)”
About: I have provided consistent dog sitting services throughout 2023, working with repeat clients and building reliable routines with the pets in my care. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies under one year old and senior dogs, as well as both large and small breeds. I have experience caring for cats. I also have experience caring for: hedgehogs, reptiles, horses, chickens, and ducks. In addition to pet care, I regularly handle house sitting responsibilities such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and maintaining a clean, secure home. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and respectful of both your pets’ needs and your home. I am currently working part time, but my hours at my job are flexible, and can tailor them to fit around my clients’ needs and expectations. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I adjust care based on each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and can provide updates as requested.
“Micaiah was amazing with watching our black lab & house sitting! We received pictures of some of their activities & our dog was well loved on! Our house was left in perfect condition. Cannot recommend her enough!! We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Hailey was an exceptional dog sitter. She was extremely kind and incredibly responsible. When giving her instructions, she was very present and a great listener. She took really good care of our home, leaving it very clean and tidy. When we travel our dogs usually fall of routine and don’t alway eat as well, but Hailey brought a calming atmosphere that allowed our dogs to be as comfortable as when we are home. We will absolutely be using Hailey to sit our fur babies again!”

“I highly recommend Coleen for your pet sitting needs. She stayed at my house for a week with Lucy and did an amazing job while I was able to relax on vacation. Lucy can be a little apprehensive of new people but she warmed right up to Coleen from the start. Coleen is very responsive and responsible. She also cleaned my house and hairy floors prior to me getting home. She was also flexible and understanding when my flight ended up being delayed and I missed my connection, she was able to cover the extra time.”
“Danielle was great! She took excellent care of my high energy dogs and kept the house really nice and clean. She sent me updates and I got to see how happy my dogs were playing outside, going for hikes, and getting lots of attention. Would definitely recommend her for anyone who needs their pups looked after.”
“Britney was wonderful and took amazing care of our dog Bella. She kept us informed with pictures, took Bella for walks and we were very happy and appreciative and Bella seemed so relaxed and comfortable when we came home. Would definitely recommend Britney and we will love to have her stay with our Bella again.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Palmer Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Palmer Lake on Rover is $66.6 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 3,203 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Palmer Lake. 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 Palmer Lake 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 Palmer Lake 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 Palmer Lake 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.

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.
