“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”
“Maila was very good at keeping me updated regarding our fur baby. She was very patient and came with activities for Ulani to enjoy. They also went on a very nice walk which I am sure Ulani enjoyed. I appreciate Maila’s experience with dogs who are anxious and the feedback she provides. I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Maila!”
“Cambridge is absolute blessing. She was great at communicating with me the entire time she stayed. She was always punctual and cleaned up too. What I liked the most about her was how caring of person she was with my fur babies. She even sent me pictures of them which I was grateful to have.”
About: Growing up on a 44-acre farm gave me hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and needs. Today, as a dog owner myself, I bring that same dedication and attentive care to every pup I watch. Whether your dog needs energetic walks, senior-care patience, medication administration, or gentle playtime, I tailor every visit to their unique personality and routine. You will receive clear communication and regular photo updates so you always know your dog is safe, loved, and happy! Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to maintain flexible availability for daily drop-in visits, regular dog walks, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs consistent mid-day check-ins, early morning feedings, or full evening companionship, I easily adapt my daily schedule to match your pet's exact routine. Your pet's safety, security, and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I strictly follow all care instructions, ensure double-locked doors and gates, and maintain a quiet, stress-free environment. For stayovers or visits, I keep a close eye on pet behavior, provide personalized one-on-one attention, and send regular photo and text updates so you always have full peace of mind.
“Sasha was AMAZING, our girls loved her so much. She was extremely attentive to there needs and kept me updated the whole time. She was accommodating with our schedule as well. Definitely will be using her services again!!”
“Spencer responded to a last minute request, agreed to meet me ahead of the sit to meet my dogs and was prompt and professional. He kept me well informed daily with photos and reports. I would highly recommend him!”
“Amelia was amazing. I have 3 dogs and one of them is skittish but Amelia was excellent with her, my dog had an accident in the house and Amelia cleaned it thoroughly. Thank you.”
About: Currently, I work part-time at boarding & grooming facility in Pueblo West, CO. As a kennel technician, I work with dogs/cats of all behaviors and a variety of medications (except ones with a needle). Now approaching 2 years working there, I can handle just about any quirks your pets have. My mom has always worked in vet medicine, so my passion for animals started from the beginning! My real pet care started when we brought home a Aussie/Border Collie rescue, while I was just a pre-teen. He was very emotionally shut down when we brought him home, technically, not adoptable. This was my first in-depth introduction to dog behaviors and how complicated herding breeds can be. My other main passion is photography, which dogs are one of my favorite subjects! While the services I offer vary, my main love is nature & wildlife. When I'm not working at the kennel, I'm building my business! I work part-time, but my schedule can be a bit sporadic, either a half day in the morning or afternoon (either 7am-1 pm or 1pm-6pm). The rest of the time, I would be able to spend with your animals! While house-sitting, I like to spend lots of time with the pets because I value their trust & comfort over anything! I'm an early riser, so we can get outside for a walk before it's too hot! With lots of practice and a strong Pitbull of my own at home, I can handle walking strong dogs. Pets are treated as an equal member of the family! Being in their space, I understand the importance of maintaining their routine and habits. I know from my time at the kennel that feeding/medication schedules and directions can be very specific. Also, I am happy to continue any training or work they've already been doing!
“Melissa did a wonderful job sitting our busy body border collie! Came home to a content and happy puppy and a clean home. Look forward to asking Melissa for help when we go on our next adventure.”
About: I've lived on a farm my whole life along with my grandmother being a animal rehaber. I have also owned dogs all my life ,I currently have 3 of my own who I love dearly! I know how to give meds and I am amazing at following any schedule you have for your furbaby. I can do daily or weekly ,I am open all day . The only times I may not be is if something comes up personally or to spend time and of course take care of my own furbabies! I give them the best care possible I love to send clients photos or videos of me taking care of their furry companion or playing with them. I also am very respectful to their home if they have codes to get in keep it all confidential!
“Bronwyn was absolutely fantastic in every way. She was very responsible, sent plenty of updates, and took care of my pup as I would. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Maria is an exceptional sitter. We cannot recommend her highly enough. We wouldn't hesitate to have Maria sit for us again. In fact, we rebooked her for our next trip before we even got on the plane home!! She's just that good. Of course, we came home to a happy pup and a spotless house. But we had no doubt about that after seeing how happy she was in the pictures Maria sent over and after hearing Maria gush over how much she was enjoying spending time with her. It was nice to feel like we were leaving our pup with someone who liked being around her as much as we do. She took phenomenal care of our sweet girl, gave her so many cuddles, spent an absurd amount of time hanging out in the sunshine with her, and followed our requests to a T. Maria was kind, loving, and so attentive to whatever our pup needed. Maria sent plenty of pictures and videos so we never worried or had a chance to miss our beloved dog too much. It was amazing!! We've never had such a stress-free travel experience with a sitter before; we didn't worry one bit about her because we were confident she was in such great hands. Seriously, you cannot go wrong working with Maria. She is such a professional but also clearly cares about her charges. It was an outstanding experience having her house sit. Genuinely, we can't express our gratitude enough even after all this gushing. We can't wait to have her back.”
“Edyn was a wonderful Rover for my 6 yr old mini Schauzer. In fact, we've booked her again already. She's very prompt, sent photos and updates, and clearly loves dogs. Highly recommended”
About: Hey! My name is lizzy! I am an expert in caring for any of your fur babies! I have been in 4-H as well as have always had a pet in my life. I know it can be scary leaving your baby alone but I can guarantee a safe/happy environment for both the pet and the parents while you’re gone! I am currently a nursing student all online at CSUP looking for a little extra money to get me through! I will always make sure your pet is well taken care of and checked on as much as needed throughout the day! I take care of pets like they’re human babies! There is no animal that I don’t love so their safety is my top priority. I put care into each individual baby and never lack in making sure they are the most well taken care of one in the house!
About: I'm a caring and responsible dog walker/sitter in the Pueblo, Colorado area. I have experience handling multiple breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

“Julia was amazing! Her communication was stellar and she sent me pictures of our dogs daily. I know our pups loved having her stay with them and they got great exercise. Julia also collected our mail, took out our trash and kept our house clean and tidy. We would recommend her and use her again for our next trip out of town.”
“House was cleaner than when we left. Dogs were very well taken care of and great communication while we were home. Thanks so much. Second time we’ve used Sarah and we hope she is available when we need sitting again in the future. Thank you!!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Stone City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,041 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Stone City. 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 Stone City 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 Stone City 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 Stone City 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
