“Mariah and Dani stayed at our house for a long stay and did an amazing job. We got pictures daily of our girls which we loved! They gave our special needs dog medication everyday which can be difficult, and everything seemed to go off without a hitch. Our house was so spotless and left nicer than when we went on vacation. They were kind enough to clean the sheets and towels which they didn’t need to do but we so appreciate it! We highly recommend these two as they really made us feel at ease being away from home. We would absolutely love to book them again!”
“Hannah is awesome! We hadn't been able to utilize a pet sitter for several years so I was feeling nervous about everything. Hannah did a great job, followed all instructions/requests, communicated perfectly, and our house was super clean upon our return (which is a big deal... who wants to come home from vacation to a mess!!). We'll definitely use Hannah next time we go out of town and highly recommend her to all!”
“Kayla was wonderful with Libby and I sincerely hope to continue booking with her! I especially loved that she spent some time on specific training for a certification we’re working towards!”
“Aiden took fantastic care of our dogs! He was on time, very communicative, sent pictures, and our dogs loved him. We came home to happy dogs. I felt so comfortable leaving them with him, and we already have him booked again!”
“Naava really enjoyed Ashley. It was fun to see Naava do zoomies when she saw Ashley. Naava doesn't do that for just anyone. Ashley understood and respected that Naava takes time to get to know new people and you just have to be calm, patient and do things at her pace. That's a gift that not everyone understands or respects.”
About: I have a passion for animals of all kinds and love providing them with care, attention, and affection they deserve. I’m a pet parent to two dogs, two guinea pigs, a crested gecko and a betta fish. So I understand that every pet has certain needs and personalities. I’ll care for them as if they are my own. Pet sitting is my job so I’m available anytime throughout the day or night for your pets needs. I would love to help out anyway I can. I have a vehicle ready for any emergency’s. Im more than happy to send updated photos! I’m not boarding but I will travel for your pets needs.
“Samantha was terrific, very detailed and loving to our animals. She is a pro! It was an easy transition to turn care over to her as we rushed out to our event. We highly recommend her services and will use her again.”
“Aaliyah was fantastic! She stayed at our residence while we were on vacation. This was a last minute request from us on Rover. We were gone for 6 days. She took good care of our dogs. We asked her if she could stay until we got home Sunday, and without hesitation, she said yes. She left no messes in our home. We will definitely use her again.”
“Our pups were well taken care of with Andrea! There were some hiccups in understanding of the requested booking but Andrea was quick to communicate and was willing to address any issues before they arose.”
“Lauren was absolutely amazing! She gave updates through out the day and you can tell the pups were having a great time. When she was gone they ran around the house looking for her. Will definitely be booking with Lauren in the future!”
“We a one of those trust no one, little rescue terriers that can be real difficult around new people so leaving her with anyone can be quite stressful. Can’t tell you how pleased we were with Amira. She took extra time up front to get acquainted with our Lillie and was fantastic about communication throughout our trip to put our mind at ease. Would we hire her again, absolutely! Would we recommend her to our closest friends, absolutely!”
About: I am great at following directions and have grown up with cats and dogs my whole life, I love animals and they like me too! My schedule shifts from week to week but I generally have weekdays open so I can come let your dog out or walk/run them after you've left for work. I have a dog at home, Denali. I love to hike and be outside, watch tv, or color. I am a student getting my masters in school counseling. I am responsible, loyal, hard-working, and reliable. I know how to clean up after animals and I have taken care of my pets for many years in my own family. I know our pets are a part of our family, and I will take care of yours just like they are family!
“Sasha did a great job taking care of our four dogs, parrot, & home for a 15 day trip. It was the longest we have all been away at the same time. She communicated with us regularly and provided a lot of pictures. One of our dogs refuses to show himself with most sitters but Sasha was able to get him to go on walks. Our home was also in great shape, we could not have been happier with the experience.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have helped take care of them whether that was with my mom, dad, grandparents, friends etc. I have plenty of experience with all stages of life from being a puppy to senior dogs. I am also well versed in basic care like walking, grooming, feeding (including medicine), play, and training. At the moment I work part time on most Thursday's so I will not be available then unless absolutely needed. Other than that I am free to look after your dog whenever. At a clients home typically I would ask the basic routine of their pet, what is off limits for them, how often they would like updates, what to do in case of an emergency, and anything else I or they see fit before arriving. I want to make sure I can be a dependable caretaker for their pets, as well as a trustworthy and respectable guest in their house.

Darrin did a great job sitting my high energy pup. He followed all the instructions for routine, medicine, food etc and I came home to a happy dog and cleaner house than I left. I got routine updates and he even helped me fix the water pressure in my kitchen sink. Wonderful dog and house sitter, I would use his services again.
Grace stayed in our home for house and pet sitting and did an amazing job! She is always thoughtful with her updates and photos and helps with our requests as needed. She is quick to address an issue as it arises as well. Will definitely look at using her again for an in home stay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wattenberg on Rover is $44.94 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 8,725 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wattenberg. 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 Wattenberg 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 Wattenberg 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 Wattenberg 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.
