“Katavah is always such great help with our pup. She was so so kind and when I realized I booked for the wrong dates, she moved around her personal schedule to help me watch suz an extra night. She went above and beyond and so appreciative!”
“Great communication, pics and updates every day were very appreciated. It was a stress free experience for me and Monte was clearly happy to have her staying with him where he's most comfortable.”
“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!”
About: I'm an animal lover, and I have been pet sitting for many years through friends and referrals, as well as through TrustedHousesitters. I've had animals most of my life, but none currently. I've also volunteered at shelters for many years, and I have trained and worked in animal rescue. I also volunteered doing animal rescue after Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, for which I received an honorary award from the Humane Society. I'm comfortable with all types of animals, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I have specialized experience with dogs, including dog behavior and dog rescue. I will take pride in providing excellent care for your animals, plants and home. I have many excellent reviews on TrustedHousesitters and Airbnb, and I can provide those links for reference. I work remotely on a flexible, part-time schedule, and I can tailor my schedule around my pet sitting commitments. My weekends often include hiking or trail running, and I'm also happy to take your dogs on hikes or runs if you'd like. Let's chat! I'm flexible with arrangements depending on the service I'm providing. - For pet sitting in your home while you're away, I would like a clean and comfortable space for me to settle in while caring for your animals. - For dog walks and/or drop-in visits, I'm very flexible. - Please just reach out to discuss details on these and other possible pet services. - Contact me for special pricing on long pet sits.
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.
“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)!”
“This was our first time having Sarah watch our girls, and she was absolutely amazing! She stayed at our home for four nights and took such great care of them. She sent us pictures throughout the day and followed up in the evenings to let us know how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that they got plenty of attention and playtime because when we got home, they were happy and relaxed rather than wound up or anxious. Sarah took great care of our home and, most importantly, our girls. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience. We will definitely be using Sarah again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!”
About: Owning pets for three decades has been a remarkable journey filled with boundless joy, unconditional love, and a symphony of heartwarming moments. Being a seasoned pet owner for 33 years has equipped me with a deep understanding of the unique needs, quirks, and affections of our furry companions. From the energetic enthusiasm of playful puppies to the wise and gentle purrs of aging cats, I've navigated the ever-evolving landscape of pet care with patience and devotion. Over the years, I've honed my ability to anticipate their needs, ensuring a harmonious and loving environment. With a wealth of experience, I've mastered the art of creating a home that resonates with warmth, comfort, and the delightful chaos that comes with a house full of pets. Through the laughter, occasional mishaps, and countless heart-to-heart moments, I've learned that being a pet owner isn't just a title—it's a commitment to providing a lifetime of love, care, and happiness for our cherished companions. Currently, I have two cats, which means that I am continuously expanding my knowledge about the proper care of animals. I am always wanting more experience! With two cats in my care, I am well-versed in the nuances of animal care, ensuring a secure and comfortable environment for them. Additionally, I have experience tending to my friends' dogs, managing their extensive medication routines with diligence and compassion.
“Taylor did a phenomenal job watching our two pups for a week at our house. We are so happy to have found him. Out dogs were clearly the priority for him while we were gone as we arrived home and they were happy and relaxed. Taylor gave our dogs walks everyday and sent lots of pictures. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our babies Taylor.”
“Ollie was fantastic with my boy Walter! He got all the love, play time, and attention he craves. She sent updates and pics while I was away, and Ollie was an extremely responsible house guest. 10/10 recommend…we already have future visits lined up.”
“Hayes was amazing with Dixie! I could tell she has a passion for dogs and took really good care of her when I was away. She really went above and beyond and took her on a big hike and to a lake with some other doggie friends and I came home to a super happy tired pup. She was communicative and kept the house nice and tidy as well! Would definitely recommend! 💯”
About: I have spent a decade taking care of dogs, helping raise dogs and providing not only a pet - human relationship but an inseparable bond. Many clients of mine have hired me to train their dogs since 2015. My "bible" when raising and taking care of a dog is The Art of Raising A Puppy. I practice non violence and calm tones while caring for all dogs while positively re-enforcing good behavior. Understanding your dogs needs is first and foremost what I will pay attention to. I spend most of my time outside and on trails with my Husky who is friendly, gentle and gets with all dogs. Your dog will have a fun, playful and outgoing stay with me. We will take long walks, go to the dog park, go for a run along the river or in Forest Park. The trails to Marquam and Council Crest are two blocks from my home and take my dog (and other dogs) there frequently. I cater to all needs of all dogs and am very responsive if you have any questions or concerns during your pup's stay. I have a yard and back deck with plenty of space and opportunity to play. I currently work remotely and have plenty of time to look after your pup, as well as take them on adventures on the local trails if the dog is up for it! I care for all dogs equally and will cater to specific needs whether they are a puppy, or even elderly dogs. The environment is clean, safe, and has ample opportunities to run throughout the day.
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!
“Evelina was the best! I wouldn’t want to hire anyone else to watch our pups. She has great communication and gives the dogs love that they deserve!! HIGHLY recommend!! She treats your pets just like they’re her own. 🤍”
“Fantastic and flexible dog walker, and overall pet sitter. Nika is easy to talk to and communicate with. Our pets loved her. She went above and beyond to take our dog to Marymoor Dog Park, one of his favorites for some fun. Also flexible - when our return flight was delayed a day, she was willing to pick up an extra day.”
“Maria did an incredible job with our somewhat tricky older cat! I would 100% recommend Maria. She’s fantastic!! Bonus - our house was cleaner when we got home than when we left!! She’s the best.”
“Cindy is amazing sitter. She kept us well informed and took excellent care of our dogs walking them at least twice a day and exercising them out in the yard as well. Communicates well and in a timely manner. She was an overnight sitter for us and took care of our house as well. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I've been full time taking care of pets the last two years and previously have had my own pets since a young child. I have experience with a range of animals and personally love small dogs and cats. I've sat for elderly dogs and have experience with giving them medicine and also young dogs who need extra care and attention. I also understand and love hairless high maintenance cats as I had two of my own Peterbalds. I am fully available for house sitting / pet sitting as I work remote and have a flexible schedule. I live an organic, non-toxic lifestyle and prefer to stay in homes that are fragrance free & chemical free. I am currently nomadic so I will only offer care in the pet owners home. I will stay over at your home and I tend to keep everything really clean and I've found pets really enjoy being in their own environment.
“Conrad was great with Myla! He took her on her daily walks, played with her outside, and was very attentive to her needs. Myla can be reactive and has a range of different temperaments, and Conrad did a great job handling her and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”

Great with dogs!! We have 3 dogs- some of which aren’t quick to warm up & she does a great job of being patient and building trust. Sends lots of updates & communicates well, leaves our house in great shape. Definitely would recommend! Have booked with her more than once
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Ward is $63 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $47 and $121 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.

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 , 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.
