“August was great! He sent regular updates, was extremely responsive, and was the perfect balance of warm and professional. Knowing he was giving our pup the attention and care he needed while we were away gave us valuable piece of mind. He left the house in excellent shape and took care of things like trash while we were gone. I highly recommend August and will be booking with him again.”
“Lila did an amazing job watching our two dogs, one of whom has storm anxiety that can be difficult to deal with. Lila did fantastic though! Knowing our dogs were in caring and capable hands made our vacation even more enjoyable! Would love to be able to rebook her in the future, and would highly recommend her.”
“Joy did a great job caring for our cat Gomez. She sent us photos of him, which we appreciated, and was a great communicator throughout. We highly recommend Joy and we’ll be reaching out to her in the future. Cheers!”
About: If your dog has endless energy and needs someone to run them on the beautiful trails of Boulder, I'm your guy! I have been taking care of dogs since I was seven years old, and nothing makes me happier than my connecting my two passions, dogs and running, at the same time! whether your pup needs a half mile or half marathon, you can count on me to keep your dog safe, stimulated, and worn out from a great day on the trails. I currently am a full time student at CU Boulder, and I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule! Please feel free to reach out, I would love to take care of your pups! If I run with your dog, I will always have plenty of water, treats, and paw protection if the summer heat calls for it! Additionally, I will always check for fleas/ticks after any runs in wooded/grassy areas.
“Brenna took amazing care of our dog. She sent photos regularly and was responsive to emergencies like the power going out. We are so grateful for her care and attention to detail.”
“Excellent pet sitter! Was so sweet with my baby puppy and kept him entertained and active. Sent me lots of updates and pictures. I was so relaxed knowing my little man was in good hands.”
About: Hi, I’m Nicole! I’ve been caring for dogs for 4 years, and I treat every dog like my own. I’ve done overnight stays where I keep their routine exactly the same as when you’re home, so feeding, walks, and bedtime all stay on track. I also do daytime care for owners who work long hours or have busy days, and regular walks to keep dogs active and happy. I’m responsible, on time, and easy to reach. I’ll send updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. Whether your dog is high energy and needs a good long walk or prefers relaxing on the couch, I’ll adjust to what works best for them. I’d love to meet you and your dog before the first booking so we can go over their routine and any special needs. I’m a student, so my schedule is set up around my classes. On Mondays and Thursdays I’m available after 2:20, and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I’m free after 4, which works well for afternoon and evening dog walks. Weekends are completely open, so I can do walks or longer visits anytime. I live in an apartment with no other pets or children, so your dog will get my full attention in a calm, quiet space. I’m comfortable crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine. I don’t have a fenced yard, but I’m close to several parks and will take your dog out for walks and potty breaks as often as they need. Your dog’s safety comes first, so I always keep them leashed outside and follow any instructions you give me.
“Chelsea was fantastic! She was incrediblyfriendly and communicative, and took great care of Porter and my home. I would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Chelsea!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so I have plenty of experience caring for them and understanding their different personalities and needs. I absolutely love dogs of all breeds and sizes and enjoy spending time playing, walking, and giving them lots of attention. I’m currently studying Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at CU Boulder with hopes of becoming a veterinarian. I’m responsible, patient, and loving, and I’ll always treat your dog like my own! As a college student at CU Boulder, I have a flexible schedule outside of my classes that allows me to dedicate time to pet care. I love spending time with animals, so incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention into my daily routine is something I genuinely enjoy. I’m great at managing my time and making sure every pet gets the love and care they deserve! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I make sure to give them plenty of attention and patience. I also keep their space clean and provide regular updates and pictures so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands!
“We’ve used Savannah several times now and we always know she is in great hands. This last trip was longer and we had a potential home issue while she was there that she was happy to help provide us with info, video evidence, and responded quickly which was above and beyond! She always is patient with our little girl and shows her a great week while we are away!”
“Harriet took great care of our 2 dogs, one of which is afraid of most strangers. She was patient and loving and communicated well while we were gone. We were grateful for her positive energy!”
“Ben waa promt arriving to care for our 3 month old puppy at pur hotel...aside from him suffering a puppy scratch, they had a great afternoon. Fritz was fed/watered/pottied/walked/played with and generally well cared for, for 6 hours! We give Ben ????? (5 paws/stars)!”
“Jessica is so kind and has wonderful calm energy. She was excellent with our two dogs and cat. One of our dogs is very anxious and the other is older; she was patient with both of them and provided them each with the appropriate level of care. We look forward to working with her again in the future.”
About: I will love and care for your dogs like they are my own! I am at home most of the time and would only leave your pup at most 5 hours 2x in a given week. I have my own 10 lb "mystery doodle" fur baby and we both welcome fur friends to our home and are happy to come stay in yours, as well. *Please note that I can only accept dogs up to 30 lbs for boarding at my home.* Cuddle time is priority and I take the dogs hiking almost every day. I live right next to an amazing open space, and a huge grassy area "dog park." Lots of fun playtime happens there! Holistic health is a priority for my babies, and I often share information on diet, lifestyle, training and supplements that can help your dog to be the healthiest possible as well! I also practice honest, clear communication regarding any issue that could possibly arise. I started petsitting at the age of 12 when I had a small business in my neighborhood. I went on to spend a few summers working full time at the local kennel, walking, feeding and caring for dozens of dogs there. I worked at a sled dog kennel in Alaska one year caring for 100 dogs and since then have cared for dozens of dogs and cats in my home and at other's homes. I also have had my own dogs for the last 15 years. I look forward to talking to you about how I can care for your pets and leave you knowing your fur babies are loved, healthy and safe! I am normally only away from home for 5 hours tops 2 times in a given week. Other than that I am with your fur babies going on walks, playing with neighborhood dogs in the "dog park," hiking, and cuddling on the couch. I have a friendly 10 lb mystery doodle, a small fenced yard, and our larger "back yard" is the open space next to the townhome I live in where we go on short walks multiple times a day. There is also a grassy area nearby locals call "the dog park" where many dogs run around and play. I would be happy to bring your pup on hikes with my dog and I, as well!
About: I have had a passion for animal care and providing companionship with them since I was a very small child. I have been doing this for 20 years now and there's nothing that I would rather do than spend time with cats and dogs. I work from home so I have a lot of availability to be with your pets. I am single with no children and a huge passion to be with animals. I have a three story town home and I'm surrounded by nature trails and all sorts of paths. I have a dog park right behind me and surrounded by nature trails that the Pet's absolutely love. Also very close to Valmont Dog Park!
“Wonderful experience having Samantha house-sit and take care of our three kittens, one of whom needed medication delivery! She left our place so clean and tidy, more so than when we left it, and most importantly, the cats were SO happy and had clearly been very well taken care of while she stayed with them! We would love to book her again and highly recommend! :)”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sugarloaf
Yolanda is the Mary Poppins of cat sitting, and if you have the opportunity to work with her, it is your lucky day. When we had to leave the country for three weeks, we had no idea who we might find to take care of our senior cat who doesn’t like strangers and doesn’t eat on a schedule. Enter Yolanda. We knew right away that she had just the right calm, warm energy for our fussy cat, and though we weren’t sure how to tell any cat sitter to offer food to our picky free-feeding feline, Yolanda figured it all out. Her frequent updates from home showed our cat enjoying getting brushed, snuggling up with Yolanda on the couch, eating heartily … who is this cat who hides from strangers and wakes us up in the middle of the night for food that’s already out? Our cat loved Yolanda, and we were fully reassured that she was fine, if not better, while we were gone. Then, it got even better when we came home. We arrived to a clean house, a special bake in the fridge from Yolanda (she knew we wouldn’t want to cook dinner after 20-plus hours of travel), and a cat that was so calm that she didn’t bother to get up from her cozy spot when we walked in with our luggage. Yolanda is truly the best, and we just might plan all future trips around her schedule!
Yolanda was awesome as always! Not the first time we’ve had her. Both my dogs just absolutely love her. Not only does she take care of the dogs, she keeps the house clean as well as washing the bedding before she leaves. She is also a great cook! Left us an homemade apple pie using our apples from our tree! She had fun with that! 😁🤣❤️ You guys need a dog sitter? Book with Yolanda!
Kristen was great! You can tell right away from meeting her that she is a total dog person and the animals love her! She stayed at our place for the week with our dog and took great care of her! You could tell Kristen did everything she could to keep the doggo in her normal routine. She was communicative and sent photos and asked clarifying questions where needed. She left the house clean. Would recommend!

FAQs for House Sitting - Sugarloaf
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 5,193 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Sugarloaf. 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 Sugarloaf 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 Sugarloaf 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 Sugarloaf 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sugarloaf. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
