“As always Melissa did an incredible job looking after my kitty, Finn. I had an extended trip and she ably and compassionately dealt with some unexpected and challenging circumstances. Would highly recommend her.”
“Santiago was very flexible and available when I needed a last minute booking for a sitting. Zoey had a great visit and was well taken care of. Santiago made sure to have my place spick and span when I arrived home after a long day of travel and emotional weekend with my family. Most certainly would book again!”
“Connie spent a week in my house and left it exactly as we left it. Normally our dog is very standoffish but immediately got atttached to Connie and was happy our whole time away, she was very responsive and sent updates often”
“We had a great experience having August stay on our ranch with our critters. Super responsible and like other reviews, going a step beyond by cleaning up the house. He takes his job seriously and makes sure you know everything is going well while you are away. We feel like we would be able to leave things in his hands even for a longer trip hopefully in the future. Even the barn cat was happy:-)”
“Olivia was a life saver! She helped us out last minute and took great care of our pups and chickens. She kept us updated and the house looked great when we got home. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Brenna was once again wonderful with Koshka and Quito! She was great to communicate with and sent us pictures every day. We came back from our trip to happy, healthy kitties! We highly recommend her.”

About: With two years of experience as an in-home pet sitter, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for two wonderful dogs, ensuring they are happy and well-looked after while their owners are away. Growing up with dogs my entire life has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behavior. This lifelong experience, combined with the joy my own cat brings me, enhances my ability to provide attentive and loving care to all pets entrusted to me. I am ideally looking to pet sit between Monday and Friday, with very open availability during these days. This flexible schedule allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs and ensure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. As a dedicated pet sitter, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pets by following strict safety precautions. I ensure that all areas are pet-proofed, provide secure feeding and play environments, and adhere to any specific care instructions you provide. Regular communication with you helps me stay updated on any changes or concerns, while my attentive approach ensures that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well-cared for throughout my time with them.
“This was the second time having Katrina stay in my home to watch my German Shepherd. She was very respectful, left the place in great condition, and took great care of our dog!”
About: I have had animals in my life since day one; I’ve had a variety of dogs in and out of my house for a long as I can remember. I am very versatile and have had experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, big and little dogs, calm or anxious dogs, reactive dogs and everything in between! Since school is out for the summer I am available to help out anytime! I am able to do sittings, walks and drop-ins at your convenience In a clients home I will treat their space and animal with the utmost respect and care. I intend to give their pet the love and attention they deserve and leave the home better than I found it
About: Hi! I love dog sitting, and I look forward giving your dog all the care, exercise, and attention they deserve while you are away. My dog Tommy and I love making new friends and we look forward to meeting your dog soon! I have had dogs for 10 years and have spent many years dog sitting on Rover and for friends as well as fostering dogs for animal rescue organizations. I love to go for walks and spend as much time with the dogs as possible. I can adapt to any exercise requirements your dog may have. I spent many hours training my dog as a puppy so I know how important maintaining good habits are. I am happy to maintain any structure you use at home for your dog and to maintain the training you have given them. My dog Tommy is half lab half golden. He is very friendly and likes to have friends around. Tommy and I offer house sitting in your home as well. He is very polite and good in the house! Please reach out with any questions you may have. I do require a meet and greet prior to booking. I take my dog for walks in the morning and evening with a bathroom break in the middle of the day. We also incorporate playing and training and sometimes walk on local trails or go for hikes. I abide by any rules your dog follows when they are with you. My dog is free to go anywhere in the house during the day (although he usually hangs out with me!), and he stays in my room while I am out of the house.
About: I bring a calm, grounded energy that animals seem to trust right away. Whether it’s an active dog who loves going on long walks or steady runs with me, or a quieter pet who needs gentle companionship, I focus on giving each animal the individual attention they deserve. I care deeply about their happiness, comfort, and sense of safety. Pets tend to lean into me quickly, and I make sure they feel seen, loved, and accepted exactly as they are. My goal is to help every animal have a rich, content day while you’re away. I don't work weekends which allows me plenty of time to stay with pets in their homes and keep them on their normal rhythm. I’m available for overnights, drop-ins, and extended stays given enough advanced notice, and I make sure each visit feels calm, consistent, and attended to. Whether your pet needs long walks, runs, playtime, or quiet companionship, I can be there when they need me. If i'm working on a weekday, I can feed and let dogs out or walk them in the morning before I leave and come back late afternoon/early evening for those pets that can manage themselves during the day. Since I don’t host pets in my own home, I focus on providing safe, reliable care in your pet’s familiar environment. I’m attentive to routines, feeding needs, medications, and any special instructions. I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and overall safety, and I’m respectful of your home while I’m staying there. My goal is always to create a peaceful, secure space where your pet feels at ease, seen, and truly cared for while you’re away.
“We could not have been more pleased with Zach's care for our dogs while we were out of town for five days. He was very attentive to their food and exercise needs and kept us posted with updates and photos several times a day. By the end of Zach's stay, he and our dogs had clearly bonded. In addition, Zach took good care of our plants, and we returned to find the house clean and tidy.”
“Carolyn stayed with our 2 dogs for 7 days while we were gone on vacation. She took excellent care of our house and dogs! We met in person at the dog park then again to go over the house and dog instructions. Carolyn also provided 2 updates daily with pics as requested. It means a lot to be able to leave your dog family members in the care of someone else and I felt very comfortable which helped make our vacation more enjoyable. Boomer and Riley hope to have her back for our future trips. Thanks again!”
“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)!”
“Vye was great with our dog and cat! She was very understanding of both of their special needs. Vye provided prompt updates. She also dealt with an unexpected maintenance issue in our apartment. We would love to book Vye again!”
“Robin was amazing and so easy to work with. She made me feel at ease while I was out of town. I know she treated my animals as if they were her own and I highly recommend her!”
About: My family always had three dogs growing up, so I'm experienced with different dog sizes and temperaments. I'm experienced in special needs and senior dog care. I love play time, hikes or walks, and giving lots of pets or letting dogs have their own space. I work a hybrid schedule in Boulder, so I'm available to stay with pets during some weekdays and let them out/give them a midday walk. I lead an active lifestyle and would be happy to talk dogs out for a walk/hike/run. I do not care for pets in my home, but I'm happy to accommodate my client's typical schedules, sleeping arrangements, and walk/feeding times in their homes.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sugarloaf
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 5,250 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Sugarloaf. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
