“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!”
“Hannah is truly awesome! She always goes above and beyond to take care of all our babies when we are away. She checks in daily to let us know how everyone is doing and also takes great care of our house while we are gone. Highly recommend!”
“Meghan was amazing and super communicative while we were gone. She sent us photos everyday and shared all the fun things about our dogs. We know they will be excited to see her again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Janelle is hands down the best sitter I’ve had! She completely erases any unease I have about leaving my dog when I have to travel. She communicates frequently and truly knows how to care for my best friend the same way I would. I will (and have) rebook with her again and again!”
“Kayla was GREAT! She is responsible, professional and friendly. She spent a lot of quality time with our pup, updated us daily and treated our home very well. I love that she figured out how to navigate hot weather days so that she still got a daily walk in knowing it is a priority for me.”
About: I have a passion and love for dogs. I have many experiences around dogs and cats. I worked at a rescue for volunteer hours and I also have 3 dogs myself. I am very gentle and aware of my surroundings and will put your animals needs as an absolute priory when around them. My current job has me working from 6 AM Monday–Friday, but thankfully I only work a few minutes from home! Because of that, I’m available for drop-in visits anytime after 8 AM during the week. For house sitting, I’m happy to let pets out early in the morning, pop in during the early afternoon to let dogs out again, and of course spend the evening/night with them while I’m staying. On weekends, I’m completely flexible and can accommodate visits or house sitting anytime! 😊 I ensure my full and undivided attention is on your animals at all times. Not only that but I am willing to provide best care possible at one’s house and ensure the house is kept mess free from your animals and or myself.
“I recently had the pleasure of having Amanda take care of my two dogs, Cooper and Marlie, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with her services. Amanda was incredibly efficient and took great care of my pets. She kept me updated with regular communications, which really put my mind at ease. Cooper and Marlie were happy and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Amanda to anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Booked Sarah last-minute and she couldn't have made it easier - texted right back, sent cute updates throughout the stay, and was totally flexible. Felt completely at ease leaving the dog with her. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Amirah went above and beyond to accommodate my very senior dog with hearing and mobility issues. She did everything possible to make her comfortable and happy while staying with her for our week long trip. An unexpected cold snap happened during her stay, and we so appreciate the extra effort she had to make dealing with helping Marley going potty outside in the sub-freezing weather, snow and ice. She also took especially good care of the house. We look forward to using her again.”
“Makia did awesome taking care of my fur babies while I was out of town for 9 days. She sent me updates and photos regularly and took great care of my house too. I would hire her again and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”
About: I have grown up with large breeds, from puppies to senior care. I am able to support senior dogs in using the restroom, walking, softening food, taking medicine, ect. As well as young and active dogs who like to go on walks/run, play, cuddle, and need to get some energy out. Ready to become friends with you fur babies!! Currently looking to fill some free time during my weeks. I care for a 4 year old Great Dane currently in Arvada area. Would also love to meet and support your fur babies as well! Making sure pets don’t get into things they shouldn’t, wonder off, and aren’t outside for too long during hot and cold seasons. Making sure they are let out multiple times a day, have enrichment and treats when well behaved. Having the preferred discipline displayed when not well behaved. Always making pets happy and healthy.
“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.”
“Sasha was prompt and professional. Proving regular updates, putting my worried mind to rest. It is never easy leaving your pups behind, but they were in good hands with Sasha.”

Fabulous, fantastic, friendly - Ashley is wonderful and took such good care of my rowdy crowd of fellas! Daily photos and updates, always with a charming message about whatever antics she’d witnessed that day! I was worried that one of my dogs wouldn’t eat or while we were away, but he trusted her and didn’t waste away to nothing while we were gone. 🤣 Ashley is a busy woman, so if you can get her during available time, snap her up (but leave her alone when I need her, lol). Thank you Ashley!!!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
