About: I'm a lifelong dog owner who has cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments from puppyhood to senior golden years. Looking forward to providing what your dog needs, whether that's cozy-calm companionship, playtime, and/or exploring on walks and hikes. Growing up I raised livestock, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of pet care needs, including administering medications, managing feeding routines, and paying close attention to behavior, safety, and comfort. Because I work on a school-year calendar, I have additional availability during the summer for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable care, attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the week. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, consistency, and comfort by following each dog’s usual routine and paying close attention to their behavior, energy level, and individual quirks.
About: I have 2 Bernese mountain Dogs and a grey cat. We like to go for hikes and frequent trips to the river. I’ve watched friends, family and neighbors pets and would love to play with yours! Our daily schedule includes a walk in the morning, evening and before bed. Meals at breakfast and dinner. My schedule is flexible. I often take hosted pets with me wherever I go. My partner and I work as a team to take care of the animals, please consider both us as primary care-givers. Our pets are with someone at all times. Our house is small and lived in. We like to spend majority of our time outside and out of the house. We have plenty of toys and training treat to spare. We have easy access to trails, golf course and open field steps from our door. We have two friendly dogs and a cat, when house sitting our pets stay in our home, if our pets do not get a long we alternatives for watching them and hosting our guest animals. Care is dependent on the animal and/or the house we are sitting.
About: I've taken care of 4 dogs and 1 cat for their natural lives. Friends, relatives and neighbors ask me often to pet sit, as they know I am very loving and reliable. I'm retired and so I have the ability. to take care of dogs at anytime, and I love having animals around me. Dogs are amazing companions! I have a fenced yard, and love walking and playing with dogs. I will follow any rules the clients suggest. I can give medications as needed, and train dogs also.
About: I’ve enjoyed taking care of animals for the entirety of my life. I know telluride having lived here 10 years and would gladly explore the area with your pet. I for the most part am working only on weekends, thus, just about every weekday I am free to to work on rover. Telluride is home. I have a home with a small fenced in yard. No crate, nor do I want to care for a dog that needs to be in a crate.
About: I truly care for them as if they were my own. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ve learned to read their personalities, moods, and needs quickly, so they feel safe and comfortable with me from day one. I also bring a background in hospitality, which means I’m detail-oriented, reliable, and used to making sure every guest — two-legged or four-legged — feels genuinely taken care of. Whether it’s sticking to a specific routine, giving extra attention to a nervous pet, or just making sure they get plenty of love while their owners are away, I treat every animal with the same patience and affection I’d want for my own. I’m currently in between jobs and I couldn’t think of a best way of spending this time than doing what I love and share my time with new furry friends! I take care of the pets at their own home. It is important for me that they feel comfortable in their own environment. I fully adapt myself to the furry friend needs.
About: Having had several dogs in my life and a dog training License I feel your animals would be at home with me as much as you I do not have a dog and I just enjoy dogs, attitude, company and motivation.

The parameters that you set up will be respected Either way, the animal will feel safe and at peace

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Placerville on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Placerville 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 Placerville 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 Placerville 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 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.
