“Jason was super patient with our rescue dog who was pretty freaked out by our being gone. Persistence paid off and they became buddies. We appreciate knowing he was in good hands.”
“Erica took good care of Thor and was respectful of our home. She was very communicative and shared pictures of Thor on a daily basis. We would definitely like Erica to stay with Thor again.”
“Thomas was fantastic with our two German Shepherds. He stayed overnight with them for 8 days and walked them as well. They are dog aggressive on walks and he handled them with no problems. He also gave them medication. He followed all the house rules and kept our place looking great! We will definitely be going with Thomas again in the future. His communication was also fantastic! Overall we were so pleased to have Thomas stay with our boys!”
About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs and have raised several large breed dogs myself. It currently isn’t the right time for me to welcome a new dog into my life full time but I miss having the company. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility for cuddles, walks and potty breaks. I’m also a runner and happy to take any high energy dogs out for a tour. I do not have a backyard but am close to parks where we can walk. I have space for a dog bed or crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly.
“Brianna was great. We have a new dog - 7 months and the extra time she took to be constituent with him was amazing. It’s nice to travel and not worry about your home or your pets. We’d definitely use her again. We got daily updates and pictures. The house was pretty much as we left it. We hope she’s want to help us again in the e future!”
“Jessica was a wonderful Dog Sitter and cared so much for our little girl. She’s gentle and loving. A wonderful person for pets. Look forward to using her again as our Dog Sitter. Thank you, Jessica.”
About: Hi, my name is Adrian Veliz-Smith. I was born and raised in the small town of Scottsbluff, Nebraska. I currently live in a comfortable apartment with my roommate and his two cats. Throughout my life, I have had a deep love for all animals, but dogs have always been an especially important part of my life. When I'm not coaching youth soccer for the local competitive soccer club, I spend most of my time with my new pup, Minnie, a 9-month-old Yellow Lab. After struggling to find work over the past year, I decided to pursue my passion and build a full-time career working with dogs. My goal is to ensure that our four-legged friends always receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. I'm happy to help your pups in any way I can! My day starts at around 6am with a long morning poop walk for the pups shortly after eating breakfast. Sometimes we go to the cherry creek off leash area and run around for about an hour. This leaves us tired til our next outing around noon, most of the time the pups sleep until then. After this we do treats and trainings in the afternoons followed by 2 more walks in the evenings for a total of atleast 4 outings every day. Sometimes more if the weather is very nice that day. I have a very small apartment with plenty of open space for the pups to play. Because the space is smaller im able to keep an eye on them 24/7. My current pup Minnie is super friendly and playful and loves having playmates
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“Elisabeth was an awesome sitter for Murphy. He loved all the extra attention he received. Elisabeth was easy to work with and followed all the instructions for the house and Murphy’s care. I highly recommend her and would book with her again.”
“Maycee was fabulous! She took great care of our two fur babies and went above and beyond for their care. She was very communicative and quick to respond. Even went a step further and had the linens cleaned and house was clean when we arrived home!”
“Sam, Brianna's husband, was awesome. He was friendly, warm, and did a great job keeping us informed. Pretzel was sad that we were gone and I appreciate that Sam didn't try to sugarcoat it. He was honest about my dog missing us and not eating or playing. I would definitely use Sam again.”
“We are so grateful to have Loren take care of our dog. She treats him like his own. She takes lots of pictures and send some. She even makes her own pictures and leave them after she’s done taking care of your dog. She’s truly outstanding. If you have to leave your pet to go out of town. She is the one you want taking care of your animal.”
About: I'm a music teacher who totally loves pets, especially dogs. I used to have a cool Dalmatian and a laid-back Black Lab, and I still miss hanging out with them! When I’m not teaching, I love taking my current pups for walks, playing fetch, or just chilling and cuddling. Dogs bring so much fun and good vibes into my life, and I think they help me be a better teacher too—more patient, caring, and with a whole lot of joy. Mixing my love for music and my love for dogs makes life pretty awesome! I work full time as a teacher Monday through Friday and am available after 3:30 most days, on weekends, and overnight for pet sitting as well. I am very detail oriented and can accommodate to your needs and the needs of your pet to make sure they and you feel your experience is top-notch and enjoyable.
“Hannah took care of our 11 week old puppy while we were away for 4-5 hours. She was very punctual and professional. Although our puppy is a handful with a lot of energy, she took good care of him, took him out to play and walk and sent a bunch of photos to keep us updated. Would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“I cannot recommend Lauryn enough! She was very professional and easy to communicate with. She provided updates of our dogs throughout the stay and I felt very comfortable with her in our home. My dogs can be picky with who they trust, but they both instantly fell in love with her. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica and Michael are so wonderful! I felt at peace when we were away knowing she would take great care of our dog. She took thorough notes when we walked her through the routine and provided updates as we wanted them. You can tell she really loves animals and cares about them while you’re away. Definitely will be using them again!”
“Angie was fantastic! We have two small dogs (8lbs and 14lbs) She sent us regular updates and photos, was very responsible and responsive. She loved our dogs like they were hers. She made the effort to walk both dogs which they really love. She was only away from the house once a day and only for a maximum of about 2or 3 hours, which is very important to us. During her stay, the smaller and older dog had digestive issues and needed to go outside several times during the night. Angie willingly administered some medication that we had on hand which thankfully resolved the issue. She spent extra time snuggling with the little one and did not leave her that day, which was very special. Even through loss of sleep during those nights her attitude was always positive and upbeat. Her only concern was for our little dog and reassuring us our little girl would be fine. We will definitely be booking her again!”

Jessica provided very good care for our 12 y old diabetic blind and deaf pup. She gave him insulin injections twice a day. In addition to caring for him, she had to deal with Comcast accidentally cutting our electric line. They were without electricity for 72 h and even tho she could have gone home after tucking Odin in for the night she chose to stay with him. Thank you Jessica for hanging with Odin while we were gone
The service Kate provided went so far above and beyond expectations, offering the kind of complete peace of mind that truly allowed us to relax and enjoy our time away. Our pets received exceptional, attentive care, backed by consistent updates and proactive oversight that kept us is at ease. Beyond outstanding pet care, our home was maintained to an immaculate standard. Returning to a flawlessly kept home made our transition back more seamless and stress-free. To our delight, Kate left thoughtful, unexpected touches of hospitality prepared for our arrival that exceeded anything we could have anticipated. This level of dedication is truly rare, and the quality of care Kate provided was incredible.
Chalee once again took excellent care of my pups. She went above and beyond, and my pups were very happy to hang out with her again. She played with them and took them for walks, and they love her! I highly recommend Chalee, especially if you need pet sitting at your house, she is respectful in my home and leaves it better than when I left.
Katelyn did a great job with our home and our two pups while we were away for the weekend. She made sure they were happy and comfortable. Our dogs are quite particular and very good judges of character so we could tell Katelyn was going to be great with them upon meeting and she did not disappoint. She kept us updated with pics and videos and how they were doing so we always felt like they were in good hands. We are excited to start booking Katelyn for more house sitting/dog sitting in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Ponderosa East
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ponderosa East on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,160 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ponderosa East. 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 Ponderosa East 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 Ponderosa East 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 Ponderosa East 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.
