“Liz did a truly wonderful job of taking care of our two year old rescue golden. She helped Holly navigate her nervousness around our absence - it was the first time we left her to travel. But with Liz, she did great. Liz walked her every day, helped her stay on her routine, played with her and made her feel loved while we were gone. The most important thing for us was that Holly was not alone over night and Liz was happy to stay overnight with Holly for our entire trip. Liz made us feel incredibly comfortable and at ease with her phenomenal communication during our trip. Every day, she sent pics, even videos, to keep us updated on all of Holly's adventures. When we got back, the house was spotless, our plants were thriving (different from their usual state!), and Holly was happy. We have another trip on the horizon in a couple months and we will definitely be booking Liz again. Thank you so much!”
“Kristin & Bryce were amazing! We were able to go on vacation and knew our brand new home and our dogs and cats were safe and loved! I highly recommend them and will be using them for all our pet/house sitting needs!”
“Our minds and hearts were at ease leaving our girls and home in Sydney's hands! We have a geriatric Great Dane who needs help up and down and all around, so we had Sydney do some house visits for a few weeks leading up to our big 9-day trip to get them acclimated [the smaller dane is a piece of cake :) ]. Sydney went above and beyond to clean the yard and pick up the house even after all the stinky messes I'm sure she encountered at all times of the day and night. We already have Sydney lined up for a few more events and are so blessed and lucky we found her! (But please don't steal her time from us lol) THANK YOU, SYDNEY!!!!”
“Katherine was amazing, she took good care of my girl and my home while I was out of town and for that I am grateful! She even washed the sheets and ran the vacuum... above and beyond! Definitely recommend and will book again. Thanks again Katherine.”
“Lorena did a great job. The dogs were happy and had a great time. She sent pictures and updates daily. All three dogs have meds and she had no problems other than one of our dogs is weird. We would definitely book with her again”
“Samantha was an amazing dog sitter. She sent lots of pictures, walked them, and gave them all the attention they needed. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my fur babies were in good hands.”
“Jennifer is AMAZING. I have a dog and a cat that have funny requirements (the cat is indoor/outdoor), and Jen was able to meet their needs perfectly. She’s communicative, helpful and truly cares about your pets. I would book her again in a heartbeat.”
“Maisie was wonderful to work with from the very beginning. Our goldendoodle has quite the personality and can sometimes be intimidating when you first meet him but she was extremely patient and kind. When we returned from our trip, the house was spotless and dogs were very happy and well taken care of. Maisie communicated well each day and sent a ton of photos of the dogs doing various things throughout the day. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone safe and loving to take care of your fur babies while you’re away!”
“Lauren did a great job taking care of Stitch and Blu! She was a great communicator and kept me updated. I would definitely recommend Lauren and would be happy to have her take care of Stitch and Blu again! 🐾💕”
About: Hello, my name is Adriana. I've had dogs for a little over 10 years, along with 2 cats, and a few birds. Not all at the same time. If there is any more information about your pet that you believe I need to know I would love to be informed. If you need me to stay a little longer than planned, please let me know as soon as possible. If you would like to ask any questions please ask me through a message on here. Thank you for taking the time to check my profile. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I have a cat. So pet care is routine in my everyday life. Plus my family has pets I help take care of when I go visit. I care for pets in client's homes by following their care plan that has been provided by said client. Any additional information/ instructions will be followed to the best of my availability.
“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!”
“Alora was again outstanding at caring for our pet! We received multiple pictures daily showing a very happy and content pup. Alora is also very aware of the neighborhood wild animals as well as his pet friends and makes appropriate adjustments on walks. All was great with the house as well allowing us a carefree holiday. Thank you Alora!!”
“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!!”
“Marissa was incredible with our dog Skye! Lots of photos and videos and texts to keep us updated while we were missing our bubba so much. We had unplanned travel cancellations, and she was so accommodating and flexible with the help we needed. House was clean and Skye was so happy. Cannot wait to use her again :)”
“Amber stayed at my house and took care of my dog, cat and lizard for 4 days. I felt comfortable having her at my home and she took great care of my pets! I would highly recommend her!”
“Marnesha was awesome w our 3 pups—they loved her right away. She has great attention to detail—kept track of all of their quirks—and an easy-going, confident vibe. Highly recommend!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a dog in my life. I have had many years of experience watching and taking care of mine and others dogs. I have watched my family’s and close friends dogs many times throughout the years. I have dog sitted and had multiple doggy sleepovers up to a month before. I have watched dogs as small as Chihuahuas all the way up to German Shepherds. There is no task I can’t handle! (: I can’t wait to meet your baby and becoming their new friend! I m currently unemployed and have more than most my time available for dog care. I spend most my time with my own dogs and or family members and friends. I have a great back yard where dogs can run around and feel safe. I am pretty minimal when it comes to furniture but do have plenty of room for dogs to lay around. I wash all couch covers twice a week, sweep & vacuum everyday, and mop as needed. I am very big on keeping poop cleaned up and making sure things are cleaned up regularly like toys or trash that might be out. Bathroom doors stay closed and cleaning supplies are locked up.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vail
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 for House Sitting in Vail on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 924 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vail. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% 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.
