“Not sure who liked her more our dog or us!!! Sammie is amazing! Followed the directions for our dog down to the very finest detail. She communicates often and clearly and took care of everything we needed. We highly recommend Sammie and will calling her in the future!”
“This is our second time Annette has watched our babies! The first was drop in visits and this time she did house sitting for our 3 cats and dog. She was great! She took our dog on her daily walks and gave lots of cuddles to our cats. Our home looked better than when we left. I would 100% have Annette watch out babies again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a young child as my mother owned several animals throughout my childhood. I have a passion for caring for animals as I have two of my own, who are extremely spoiled and well loved. You can trust that your fur babies are in good hands, as I will be sure to accommodate to every request and need that your pup/cat may need. I currently am prioritizing Rover, so I have full flexibility for you and your pet! I look forward to getting to meet new faces, and build new connections :) I do not offer in-home services, due to the fact that I have my own pets. I can offer services as far as check ins, walks, feed appointments, playtime, etc. I will be sure to keep in contact with clients, and update them on their pet. Any concerns I may have will be immediately reported to the client, unless it is an emergency situation, (which both the client and nearest animal Hospital will be contacted). I’m a very flexible individual, as long as communication is there I have no problem meeting the needs my clients may have!
“Maisie is wonderful! We were very comfortable leaving our pup with her. She sent photos and updates everyday we were gone, left the house immaculate and thoroughly enjoyed her time spoiling our girl. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup! 💕”
About: I have over ten years of experience with many different types of animals and I know a lot of different techniques to approaching animals that might be scared or more difficult to take care of. I am a college student back for summer break and I don’t have a job currently so I am available 24/7. I can work every day of the week and have access to transportation so I am available to drive to the animals at anytime. I can drive anywhere at any time and take animals to different places if needed. I will make sure they are well fed and watered as well as taken for walks or played with to keep them active and if they need any extra help I am more than willing to take those steps to ensure they get it.
“Brianna was so patient and understand with our reactive dog, she came over and sat with him many times in order to have him feel comfortable around her. Our trip went so smoothly because i didn't need to worry about the pups at home. She left the house exactly as she arrived, and it seemed cleaner even 😁 Was such a great experience, I never thought we'd be able to have a dog sitter with our problematic pup but she made the whole experience awesome. Thank you!”
“Alora was wonderful! She sent pictures every day to let me know how Gwen was doing and when my flight was delayed she was more than willing to stay to make sure Gwen would still be cared for. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again!”
“Sara is absolute ROCKSTAR. Our Mookie absolutely loves her. He had his 2nd stay with her and we could tell he had a blast. He normally doesn’t eat the most consistent but he did with Sara. We loved all the updates and pictures we got through the stay. Sara always leaves our home like no one stayed there and we will continue to use her for all of Mookie’s stays. As a French bulldog owner it can be very hard to find the right “fit” but we know we have it with Sara!!”
“Amber did a wonderful job taking care of my wonderful dog Wes and my temperamental cat muffin. I felt they were safe and in good hands with Amber. She took Wes to the park. They had quite a few outings, she really loves animals.”
“Kayla, she is amazing! Our three dogs were very comfortable with Kayla and they are at ease with her. She is very patient with our one dog who is very nervous and made her feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Kayla!!!!”
“Maddie sent pictures of the cats unprompted every day to assure me they were safe and cared for, which I greatly appreciated. The house was left immaculate and exactly how I left it. It was obvious Maddie followed the special instructions for the cats so they could have their daily time looking out the screen doors and I can highly recommend her.”
“Laura H. helped take care of Tito for 3 days, and we are very happy with her service. Tito was very happy when we returned home, which gave us great peace of mind. Laura was reliable, caring, and took excellent care of him. We highly recommend her and would gladly use her services again.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brenda! She took exceptional care of our lab puppies and our home. The house was spotless when we returned, and our puppies were clearly happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. Brenda consistently sent pictures and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She is reliable, thoughtful, and truly loves what she does. We would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding Rover
Joann did a Meet & Greet with us and she knew right away how to approach our little Dolly. It was obvious Joann knows dogs. Our Dolly has separation anxiety plus a fear of people. She’s 1 1/2 years old and we’ve had her for 3 months. We don’t know what her first year was like. Joann spent a few hours with her on the scheduled visit and when we returned home Dolly was relaxed and willing to get closer to her. She actually was looking for Joann after she left. That was an huge step. Joann kept us informed about what was happening plus sent pictures which allowed us to enjoy our time away. We feel we definitely made the right pick for a pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Vail
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Vail on Rover is $49.95 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 931 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Vail. 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 Vail 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 Vail 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 Vail 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.
