“Elizabeth is highly communicative during the pet sitting, and absolutely amazing with all three of the animals. She asks questions whenever she needed clarification or if something out of the norm was happening. She is absolutely perfect for the three animals who are a bit particular in their needs. Thank you!!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dog, Rudy! She was kind, professional, and very thorough, asking great questions ahead of time to make sure she knew all of Rudy’s routines and needs. While we were away, she sent us regular updates and pictures, which really put our minds at ease knowing he was happy and well cared for. She clearly treated Rudy like her own — giving him so much love, attention, and care. We came home to a very happy dog and an impeccably clean house. She was so respectful of our home and lived in it gently, leaving everything just as we left it. It’s obvious she truly cares about the pets and families she works with. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!”
“Amy was super attentive and caring towards our sweet boy. Great communicator as well as fantastic at sending a few photos and updates while we were gone…that gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and we could fully enjoy our time away. We fully trust her and will book again in the future. Thank you so much, Amy!”
“Sara did a fantastic job watching our 11 year old Golden Retriever for a week at our home. Our dog loved Sara. Sara sent pictures every day of Lady to help my mind about our fur-baby. She was on time. I highly recommend Sara for your fur-babies care!!!”
“Darby recently housesat for us and did a great job! Came back to a clean house and two happy dogs. She followed the guidelines we leave for all housesitters, never left the dogs for more than 4-5 hours without a potty break, and communicated well. Couldn't ask for anything more. We highly recommend her. We would absolutely call on her again if she weren't moving to San Diego soon. We wish her the best of luck in that market. Thanks Darby!”
“Alora is the best caretaker for your doggo or any pet! Alora exceeds all expectations. Always on time, always sending photos and sending updates about my pup! She is very professional and is one of the most safest people on the planet to leave your pet with. She is amazing!!! Thank you again Alora!!!!”
“Chesnie was a wonderful guest in our home. Our dogs absolutely loved her and she was very attentive to their needs and typical home life. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we need a sitter.”
“Catori & Licia were very well taken care by Mary. We came home to happy "Girls." She kept us informed daily. Sent great pictures, which helped with our missing them!!! Enjoyed our stay immensely knowing they were in good care. Mary is dependable & pays attention to detail. Our home was tidy and clean upon our arrival. Thank You Mary!”
About: I’ve been caring for all kinds of furry animals for several years and absolutely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and other furry companions, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs, personality, and routine. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their pets, and I always treat every animal like my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet have a positive, stress-free experience. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member soon! I’m available every day for pet care and would love the opportunity to spend time with your pets! I have a daytime work schedule during the week, but for house sitting, I’m able to stay in your home, care for your pets in the morning before heading out, and return after work to continue their routine and spend quality time with them. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and make sure they continue receiving the care and attention they’re used to. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and little quirks. Whether your pet loves going on walks, playing with their favorite toys, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable. I’ll make sure your pets receive consistent care throughout your time away, including meals, fresh water, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I’m also attentive to keeping their environment clean and making sure everything is left just as I found it. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel as comfortable and secure as possible in their own home. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I do my best to provide reliable communication, regular updates, and lots of reassurance. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pets are being cared for, loved, and treated like they’re my own while you’re away. 🐾💕 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning if needed, playtime, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure the home stays neat and send updates so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Susannah was more than patient with Milo and Murphy. Milo isn’t the easiest to navigate through as he doesn’t do well with new people. The meet and greet went well so I decided to book. Milo threw some challengers her way and she navigated through with grace and patience. I left them in great hands and would definitely book again. Thank you Susannah for everything!”
“Lisa was wonderful with Willow! She sent frequent updates and followed her care instructions perfectly. Willow was in great spirits when we returned. Will definitely book again!”
“Ollie took wonderful care of Astro. She arrived right on time, was attentive and caring, and even went out of her way to take Astro on a hike. She sent us photos while we were away, which we really appreciated. When we got home, Astro’s toys were scattered around the house, so it was obvious they had spent plenty of time playing together and that Astro had a great afternoon. We felt very comfortable having Ollie care for her and would happily recommend her.”
About: Hi! I'm Becca, a Tucson dog mom who genuinely loves spending time with dogs of all ages and personalities. I know every dog has their own routine, and I'm happy to stick to whatever helps them feel comfortable. Whether your pup needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or medication, I'm here to make sure they're well cared for while you're away. My goal is simple: to treat your dog like part of my own family so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. I can schedule for walks or drop-ins before and after work (morning and evenings). I have open availability most weekends for house sitting or boarding. I have a 3 bedroom split level house. My home is a clean, comfortable space where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I have one dog of my own and make sure introductions are done carefully so everyone feels safe.
“Pleasant to work with. Very accommodating with a last minute reservation. Helped keep our travels stress free. Definitely recommend and will be rebooking if needed the services”
“Mikayla made me feel so comfortable when entrusting her to watch our boy Banjo! He struggles a bit with separation anxiety and new people but Mikayla just had some way of reassuring him & he did so good! She administered several medications for Banjo as well. Highly recommend her for any needs!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and pets for family. Including feeding, walks, playtime, and bathing. I grew up around dogs and I genuinely love spending time with animals. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I understand the importance of providing animals with safe, loving, and attentive care. I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's needs, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved. I'll make sure your pets are comfortable and taken well care of. I currently work a part-time job, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup! I am available Sunday, Monday, and Saturdays from 8 am to 8 pm I have a fenced yard and a friendly pup to keep your dog entertained while watching them. I can also crate your dog if needed
“We had a fantastic experience with Becky! She was attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about our pup. Throughout our trip, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We returned home to a clean house and, most importantly, a very happy dog. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter—highly recommend!”
“River was really amazing with both of my pups, one a senior that needed oral medication and eyedrops. I had a last minute travel for a funeral and she was able to come on a short notice and be comfortable with all their demands. I really appreciated her photos and feedback after every check in, really thankful!”

Thank you!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Vail is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 926 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
