“Mariah was great to have, we had her watching our dog for 2 weeks, she was great at communicating with us and we never had to worry about our dog. We knew he was in great hands!”
“I will be using Aiden again! Roxy was happy when we got home. House looked great. He kept our plants alive and our outside birds feed as well. He sent us some pictures too. He did a fabulous job!”
“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.”
“Jacqueline was great with my dog! She’s the first dog sitter I’ve left him with, and even took him out to a park. He’s been worn out on the floor since I returned a few hours ago, lol.”
“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.”
“Lauren was amazing! She took such great care of my dog while I was away and was very attentive throughout the entire stay. I really appreciated all the photos and updates she sent—it gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and I will definitely book with her again!”
“Anna is exceptional. Anna is very easy to talk to and extremely professional in the way she handled anything that arose. She had such a long stay with our animals while we were away and was on top of communication, daily routines, etc. I cannot stress how much we appreciate and how good it feels to have someone we trust with our pets while we're away. She also did a great job with random tasks that needed to be taken care of around the house such as taking trash out, medicating fish tanks, etc. I'd recommend her over and over again to anybody who needs somebody to stay with their pets!”
“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.”
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.
“Violet was such an amazing sitter. She took care of Stella as if she was her own dog. Stella I know was shy at first but then loved hanging out with Violet. Violet followed my instructions very well and was very communicative about how Stella was doing. Definitely will book her again for upcoming trips!”
“Oakley did a great job! My 70+ lb pit mixes and my cat thoroughly approve. She did let us know that she would have to go to work, which was fine with us. Pets were happy, fed and poop was cleaned up. She even cleaned the sheets she used and made the bed.”
“Felicity did a wonderful job! I genuinely felt like she cared for my pets as if they were own and she sent me so many pictures !! I will definitely utilize her in the future and I hope others do too ! 🥰”

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 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 8,746 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.

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.
