“Tara, did a great job. We were sent updates frequently with photos of the pups and cats. Dogs were walked and got to enjoy life at home thanks to Tara. Tara always was always to respond quickly with our questions and concerns. It is a great feeling to be able to leave your family and know they are in great hands.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was the age of 10. Dog breeds I have watched over Doberman Pinscher, German Shepard/Husky Mix, Labradoodles, English Labs, a mini-Aussiedoodle, 2 Dachshunds, a Maltese Shitzu mix, Greyhound mix, and a Novascotia Duck Toller. I grew up riding horses which provided me access being around dogs of all shapes and sizes, including Great Danes, Boxers, King Charles Spaniels, Corgis, Australian Shepards and standard poodles. When I lived with my cousin Pacey, her Labradoodle was practically my dog as we would go on hikes. I have completed 5 home stays in the last 5 years. As far west as Clear Creek County, and Littleton. Depending on the weather, I love taking the dogs out for walks during homestays. I am based out of Superior, CO, and would be willing travel for extended house stays as far as Aspen. More recently I have taken care of a two different cats on three separate occasions. I'm not entirely sure what their breeds were, but I think one was a beautiful grey british shorthair. I work in tech, so having strong wifi would be preferred as I work remote. Thus I am able to cater my schedule around that of the animals from which I am watching. I only take care of pets in their homes, as I am not able to host animals in my home due to allergies with my roommate.
“Lindsey was absolutely wonderful. She truly bonded with our dogs and gave them loving, attentive care throughout her stay. We could tell she paid close attention to their individual needs and treated them as if they were her own. When we returned, the house was in excellent condition and everything had been well cared for. It was a great experience from start to finish, and we will definitely be using Lindsey again many times in the future.”
“My dogs are a bit on the high maintenance side and Ken was fabulous! Came home to two happy, healthy doggos who were very well cared for. Ken also had to deal with a major power outage at my home while we were away, and was not phased and helped keep the pipes from freezing! Would definitely recommend Ken and book him again.”
About: I have been taking care of a large variety of dogs for 20 years. From eight weeks old to 16 years old, from pugs to chows and pitbulls to 140 pound malamutes I have cared for them all. I can come by to walk and feed your best friends once a day or stay and cook them meals as per your request. I want to make sure you and your loved ones are as comfortable as possible while you are away. I do freelance work so I have pretty open availability. Making sure you're needs are met so you are comfortable is my top priority. If for some reason I can't meet all of your needs I will tell you before committing to something that doesn't fit my schedule or abilities. I am here for you. How I care for your pets and home is mostly dependent on your requests. I give medicine, food and exercise as requested. I can simply fill a food bowl, measure servings and even cook protein and veggies for your dogs if that is what you want. I am happy to keep you updated or send you pictures if you'd like. Walks are as far/long/plentiful as requested. I want to provide you with the comfort of knowing someone is there to care for your loved one as you would while you are away.
“Eric was a wonderful house and pet sitter! Our dog, Willow, loved Eric and his dog Rufus. Eric took Willow on many hikes and left our house in pristine condition. We would definitely recommend Eric to anyone living or staying in Summit County! Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! My name is Jake and I’d love to be the next person to watch your furry loved ones. I have grown up and cared for 5 different large dogs over the past 10 years. I have experience with aging dogs as well as younger ones. I also volunteered with the humane society so have experience with a large variety of temperaments. I love to interact with all sorts of dogs and I’m definitely the type of person who stops and asks to pet your dog as I’m walking by. I have the experience of taking care of dogs who need daily medication and have the ability to give that to them. Very happy to walk with or even run with a dog to exercise them daily or more often.
“Sally was so amazing and accommodating even when I had to move some of the dates around last second. She took amazing care of Buddy and it was clear he was happy during her time with him! Can’t recommend enough.”
“Victoria was amazing, and played with our pup. She took him on a great hike and most of all gave him tons of attention and hugs. Plus she was extremely responsive. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family members and friends for years. I have experience with puppies, and senior dogs as well as reactive dogs. I have a flexible schedule so I will be able to spend plenty of time with your pet and make sure they are well taken care of. I am very active and can make sure your pets activities needs are met. I am happy to cater to whatever your pet needs to keep their daily routine.
About: I have had many dogs throughout my lifetime growing up, taken care of newly born pups, and mother while in process of giving birth. Have been given dogs to train and have trained and found loving home for them. Rescued a 3 week puppy almost dying, put him in healthy position, and found family after 3 months. Always been really patient with animals because they do not have a voice therefore we as human have to make sure we can communicate with them.
“I am so happy I chose Jamie to care for my pets. She did a great job dealing with all my animals and their individual needs. Everyone was healthy and happy when I got home, I would definitely trust her with my babies again :)”
“Emma did an absolute amazing job with my pup! Kept in contact and sent pics. I would highly recommend her! She not only took great care of Bear Bear, but also of my home. Thank you Emma!”
About: I've had pets of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember, in large part thanks to my veterinarian mother! I have experience caring for pets, especially cats, of all ages from babies to seniors, and disabled/medically complex critters. I work in events, which means sporadic hours, early mornings, and late nights. I'm looking to pet-sit primarily on my days off, so when I'm available, I'm completely available! I can also occasionally offer mid-day check-ins/walks, usually around 12-5pm. I strive to build trust with any animal I work with, whether it's a one-time visit or a repeat client. I am attentive to the unique needs of every critter and their owners, and am comfortable with walking dogs on leash and crating animals.
About: Dogs are the best part of life! I will care for your babies like they’re my own! I have been doing this for awhile now & just love it. I work part time, but it is a remote position. I am very flexible throughout the day. I will be able to spend quality time with your animals! I am always respectful of other people’s homes. I am very reliable & trustworthy. I follow instructions to a tee. I try to be as professional as possible!

FAQs for House Sitting - Silver Plume
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 3,213 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Silver Plume. 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 Silver Plume 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 Silver Plume 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 Silver Plume 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.
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.
