“Taylor was very caring and conscientious with our pets and our home. He ran with our huskies and snuggled with our cat. He also administered meds effectively. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah took great care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent us several check-ins along the way and was especially thoughtful with one of our dogs who gets anxious during thunderstorms. She also left our house neat and tidy. We'd definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Brenna was absolutely fantastic. She met with me for an hour prior to house sitting my senior kitty. She asked good questions. I loved getting her photos and updates. I had so much peace of mind while away. She also went above and beyond to wash the sheets and tidy up the home before she left. Highly recommend and would love her to watch little Precious again!”
About: Hi! I’m Olivia — an energetic and caring sitter who truly enjoys keeping homes and animals safe, calm, and well cared for while their humans are away. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals, from dogs and cats to rodents and reptiles, and I’m comfortable adapting to each animal’s unique needs and routines. I also have experience tending houseplants and gardens, ensuring plants are watered, healthy, and thriving while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medications, maintaining routines, or offering companionship, I treat every home, animal, and plant as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide you with peace of mind and a truly cared-for home while you’re away. Pet care fits really well into my life right now—I'm a seasonal farmer, so winter months give me a lot of open time and flexibility. If I'm petsitting for your loved ones and your home, I can provide them lots of affection, care, and quality time doing their favorite things, whether that's lounging in the house or hiking in the sun and the snow. Whatever their pace, I'm happy to match it and make sure they feel comfortable and loved the whole time. I get to know each pet's routine and personality before jumping in, so they feel comfortable with me quickly. Whether it's walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, I stick to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks, and any meds, and I pay close attention to their energy and mood so I can adjust as needed—extra patience for the nervous ones, extra playtime for the energetic ones! I send photo updates so owners can relax, and I always leave the house just as tidy as I found it.
“Once again we return home to a contented pup and a very clean home! Santi leaves everything in perfect condition! He is an excellent communicator and his photos of our Daisy are heartwarming! Highly recommend! Will certainly use Santi in the fiuture!”
“Madison is super responsive and was flexible with us when we needed to add a day due to family emergency, then extend by a day because of winter storm travel delays! She sent pics and updates each day that kept us informed. Madison charmed our cat who is not easy to win over & our dog looked relaxed and happy in every picture. The house was in great shape when we finally did make it home!”
About: I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, when I started my own little pet-sitting/walking "business" in my small town in Arizona. As an adult, I've owned and trained two dogs of my own, and I've never stopped being around animals since. Whether it's giving them plenty of pets & cuddles, keeping them active, or making sure they feel comfortable & secure, my biggest priority is providing a safe, loving experience for every pet in my care. I just recently moved to Colorado and I'm excited to grow my connection with you! I'm currently working as a writer (published author) and editor for other aspiring authors. I love spending a few hours in the morning and in the afternoon working on my laptop and developing my craft! I'm both a morning and evening person:) I take care of pets in their home so they can stay in the environment they’re most comfortable and familiar with. I love following detailed routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention & cuddles. I also ensure they have a clean, safe environment and never feel alone or neglected while you are away. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, (whether they're excited or a bit nervous) I love catering to their needs & preferences. My goal is to give them the kind of care they’re used to receiving at home!
“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)!”
“K was an amazing sitter and house guest!! Our girls were in such a happy mood, barely missed us which is such a great sign of being well taken care of. Button was very filled out (healthy and good from her meds) which is a balance many sitters don’t get exactly right. She also took great care of our house and many packages that arrived while we were away. 20/10 recommend for your pets and house!”
“Awesome! Couldn’t be happier. She was even able to stay an extra day when our flight was canceled. She took fantastic care of our dog and our home and I would hire her again anytime. So fortunate we found her.”
“We love Rikku! He brings us peace and security knowing our furbabies are well cared for while we are away. He responds quickly and sends frequent updates about them. It makes our trips so much more enjoyable not having to worry about them.”
About: I have experience in taking care of both senior and younger cats and dogs, and I genuinely love to care for animals! I love hiking so if you have a pet that needs more exercise I would be glad to take them on long walks. I also love to cuddle with pets so your animal would get lots of attention! I am starting my final semester at the end of August, so until then I am free at almost all hours of the day, and once school starts I have a lighter class schedule so I would be available for your pets in both the mornings and afternoons. I really do love animals so I am able to give them lots of attention, take them out for bathroom trips or long walks to tire them out, and also feed them when needed!
About: Hello and thank you for your time and consideration. I recently sold my home in VT, US and I'm setting out on adventures and travels. I am a traveling pet sitter. I've recently completed some very successful pet sits in Pennsylvania, Virginia, New York, and Colorado. In the new year, I will be back in Virginia and then onto New Mexico. I enjoy matching my love of traveling with my love of animals, and enjoy meeting new friends as well. I have a son who lives in Boulder, CO and a daughter who live in Lafayette, CO. My son has a new puppy who I have sat for on numerous occasions, and my daughter has three kitties that I have also sat for as well. I love animals and enjoy the comfort they bring along with those special moments. I am a retired professional with years of experience in my profession - I was a public school teacher for over 30+ years. I am a never smoker. I only tell you this so that you get a sense that I am a responsible individual with life experience in taking care of a home, as well as taking care of beloved pets. I used to have a black lab named Mollie who passed away and I still carry her dog tags on my key chain to this day (growing up, we also had several shetland ponies). Mollie was a very special puppy. As a loving pet owner I'm sure you understand. Your furry family members are just that, and I take my responsibilities very seriously. I would welcome to care for them according to your instructions. I have had many experiences caring for pets of all ages, including those very active youngin's, those with a little more years under their belt, and those in need of medical attention . Walks, etc. would be according to your direction and their energy levels. Thank you again for considering me, and I hope that you find me favorable, and if you have any questions, I'd be more than willing to speak. Please be sure to check out my reviews. I am proud of the care that I provide to my pet friends, as well as the lovely homes entrusted in my care. Sam My daily/weekly/monthly schedule is pretty flexible. I am a traveling pet sitter, so my time is pretty much dictated by my location, availability and my clients. My schedule: Micanopy, FL (4/14-6/14); Lakewood Ranch, FL (6/23-8/1); Green Valley, AZ (8/5-9/4); Albuquerque, NM (8/8-8/21)...more to post later. According to my experiences, clients are very specific about the care they would like to have for their family pet(s). Usually they leave me detailed instructions highlighting feeding schedules, walking instructions, play likes/dislikes, medication schedules, and any other instructions needed for me to provide the best care possible for their specific pet's needs.
“I cannot say enough good things about Kevin. When we did our 1st meet & greet Louie can be over-protective of me especially when it comes to men specifically. Louie did not even bark, he immediately accepted Kevin who has a very calming, chill vibe with my dogo. We had to take an 8-day trip out. of town, and Kevin was responsible, and caring towards my 11-year Chocolate Lab. He was a pleasure to work with and we are booking him again, he even was willing to pick. us up at DIA when our plane came in. I highly recommend Kevin for all your petsitting needs he truly connected with Louie and there is something to be said about that. So happy we found him!”
“Taylor was amazing! Our dog was happy and healthy and our house was spotless when we got home. We have a high anxiety dog and we were without phone service but felt very comfortable leaving Tito in Taylor’s care. He went above and beyond and sent many photos for when we were back with reception. Would rebook!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Ward on Rover is $63.13 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,485 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ward. 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 Ward 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 Ward 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 Ward 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.
