“I have two very large dogs.. one older requiring some medications and careful care and another needing good exercise and energy. While I was away Ken sent a few photos of my happy boys and I came home to calm content pets. My house was in the same order left and I will definitely use Ken in the future !”
“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!”
“We’re so happy with the care our dogs received from Danielle. Loved the daily photos and most telling of all the dogs were totally relaxed within 5 minutes of our return home.”
“Jodie was a phenomenal cat and house sitter for our 3 week vacation. She would give us regular updates and was always quick to reply. The cats and house were in great shape when we returned. So thankful for her time and attention to our furry kiddos.”
“Amanda was wonderful with our senior dog over the weekend. She kept him active at his appropriate level (short walks) and even included some special details to make her and his (the dog's) stay extra special, above and beyond what we expected. We would love to book Amanda again if we need overnight care for our dog in the future.”
About: Love borrowing my friends dogs for hikes! I do a lot of hiking alone, so it makes me feel a little bit safer to take a pup on a hike with me. Hikes are about an hour long. I have several long time clients throughout the county, that I help while out of town or walk dogs weekly. I have watched cats, Small dogs, all the way up to an Alaskan Malamutes, she just passed away so I am looking for a new dog bff. I have taken care of dogs my whole life and have dog sat for different families for years so I am used to a variety of dogs and their different needs. I have a small, unfenced in patio/yard and a park across the street from home. I’m a busy bartender and server on the weekends, so weekdays I’m more available to help out more full time. Over nights are doable more full time! I have several long time clients throughout the county, that I help while out of town or walk dogs weekly.

About: Five years and running in Summit County. My love of animals is noticeable and after having spent many a day and weekend taking care of my friends and neighbors furbabies (including running with their dogs), I've decided to make dog/cat sitting a more permanent side hobby. As a pet owner myself (both cats and dogs), I understand how important a cat/dog sitter is to the wellbeing of both the owner and their pet(s). Therefore, I'll do all that I can to make sure I provide a fun, safe and positive experience for everyone. I am a consultant so my hours are somewhat flexible during the week and weekends. Let me know how I can help. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide dependable care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I am available for drop in visits, feeding, playtime, companionship, and overnight stays depending on the location. My priority is creating a safe calm and comfortable environment where pets can maintain their routine and feel secure. In a clients home I respect the pets established schedule and the owners preferences, including feeding routines, medications, exercise, playtime and household guidelines. I pay close attention to behavior and well-being and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are happy and cared for.
“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 :)”
“Finding a new dogsitter became incredibly stressful after our usual sitter moved away, but Holly completely eased our minds. She is hands down the best dogsitter we've ever had—extremely respectful and communicative. Our dogs can be quite challenging with their individual quirks, yet Holly showed patience and understanding. We will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for over 25 years, and caring for animals comes naturally to me. I have experience supporting dogs with medical conditions, including diabetes and medication schedules, and I understand how important consistency, patience, and attentiveness are for pets with extra needs. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I adapt to their personality and routine. My goal is always to create a safe, comfortable space where your furry family member feels happy, cared for, and at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve had dogs for most of my life and genuinely enjoy being around animals. I make time for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and giving pets attention throughout the day so they feel comfortable and cared for. I also enjoy staying active, so regular walks and exercise are something I naturally incorporate into my routine. Whether a pet needs energy and engagement or a calm, relaxed environment, I’m able to adapt to their needs and maintain a consistent routine for them. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where pets can stick to their normal routines as much as possible. In a client’s home, I make sure pets receive consistent care through feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also respect each pet’s personality and energy level, whether they enjoy being active or prefer a quieter environment. I pay close attention to safety, cleanliness, and communication, and I always aim to make pets feel secure and cared for while their owners are away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel relaxed and confident knowing they’re in good hands.
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: There is nothing better than a dog's love, they are man's best friend for a reason! I've been around dogs most of my life, and there are no better companions in life. I live a very active lifestyle, and would love the opportunity to exercise with a furry jogging buddy. I'm not sure which of us would get tired of playing fetch in the park first! I have yet to meet a dog that outmatched my energy and love for the outdoors, and that convinces most dogs that I'm a good friend to have. If your dog is the lazy quiet type, that's no problem. We'll still go out for a walk or a jog but will spend most of our time playing inside, maybe watching Air Bud? (Ha!)
“Trisha was great with our dogs. She is intuitive about what the dogs need and how to manage them. She was also good with communication and super flexible on working with us to accommodate logistics. Would definitely rebook.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Silverthorne
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Silverthorne on Rover is $45 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 393 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Silverthorne. 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 Silverthorne 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 Silverthorne 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 Silverthorne 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.
