“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!”
“Repeat customer here! Kayla once again went above and beyond watching our pup while we were on vacation. She played with him tons, took him on walks and even brought him some puppy toys. We are so grateful for the TLC Kayla provides our dog Louie and will continue to book with her and recommend her to all! :)”
About: i’ve taken care of dogs since i was 13, rather its friends, family, or my own pup. I find a way to make a connection with each dog, making sure they feel safe and are having fun with toys, treats, or simple pets. I work a full time job, hours are 8-11:15, 12-2, and 4:15-7:15 M-F. hoping schedule changes to an 8-5 but until then I am available before and after work to take care of your pups!, I am completely open on weekends. I work 8-11:15, 12-2, and 4:15-7:15. can stop by on pups between work, and house sit after work. work is at a weird schedule but we can work through it! I build a connection with each dog i meet, I make sure all dogs i come across feel loved, keep them safe, and ensure they are having fun.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for most of my life. I understand that dogs are more than pets—they’re family. I believe every dog deserves patience, affection, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to treating every dog in my care with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply providing companionship, my goal is to make sure your dog feels happy, secure, and well cared for. I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I have flexibility to provide pet care around my work schedule. I’m available for walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship during weekday evenings and on weekends. For overnight house-sitting stays, I can also provide morning care before heading to work, as well as evening care when I return. I understand the importance of maintaining your pet’s routine and will communicate clearly to ensure their needs are met while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priorities. I understand that every dog and cat has its own personality, preferences, and routines, and I take the time to get to know them. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect your space, follow your instructions carefully, and maintain your pet’s familiar routine. From feeding and walks to playtime and companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll also provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Megan was an outstanding dog-cat-house sitter. She kept our dog and cat happy and safe over a 4 day period. She was a respectful and considerate guest in our home, leaving everything meticulously clean and in its place! We received wonderful pictures and updates of what our pets were up to. You can tell that Megan has a kind heart in the way she treats animals and people. I would absolutely rebook her the next time we have a need and recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
About: I've loved dogs and cared for them all my life. I have a special place in my heart for the scent hound breeds! I understand what dogs need to be comfortable and thrive, and I am honored that you put trust in me to take care of your four-legged family members. I'll spoil your babies as I do my own. I am experienced with rescue dogs and those that came from traumatic situations. I can administer medications safely and effectively. My goal is to relieve any anxiety you might have when leaving your fur baby in someone else's care. I offer "pupdate" photos, video chats, and welcome any check in texts and phone calls. I'm happy to set a met and greet with you soon! I have three dogs of my own that are very well spoiled and cared for. I do not have human children, so I can focus my efforts on your baby. Pets are family members in my home. They have free reign to rest where they choose while they are here. I love pets and cuddles! Dogs are not crated unless requested or absolutely necessary or directed. I feed in separate rooms to avoid possessive behaviors, and dogs are always monitored and supervised while playing together. I take directions very well and will make sure to care for your babies just as you would if you were here with them.
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.
About: Animals have always been my passion, and I have dedicated both my professional career and my ongoing education to ensuring they live their best lives. Having spent two years working in doggy daycare, I have had the privilege of supporting dogs of all ages and temperaments through their daily routines. I find genuine joy in providing the specific type of attention each dog needs to feel secure and happy, from managing puppy "zoomies" to honoring the slower, comfortable pace of a senior companion. By choosing to work with me, you are welcoming a dedicated, trained, and compassionate advocate into your pet's life who will ensure they feel right at home while you are away. I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, and I am committed to making your pet’s time with me a positive and stress-free experience. I understand that every pet family has a unique rhythm, and my primary goal is to maintain that consistency while you are away. Because pet care is my full-time passion, I offer the flexibility required to adapt to your specific needs—whether your dog thrives on a structured routine of midday walks or requires the comfort of a consistent presence during overnight house-sitting. I pride myself on being highly adaptable to your schedule, ensuring your furry friend receives attentive, professional supervision and companionship that mirrors the care they are used to at home. I am committed to making your time away stress-free by providing reliable, dedicated, and high-quality care whenever you need it. In my home, my dogs are treated like family, just as all dogs deserve. They receive love and attention, and I cherish the quality time we spend together. Whenever I was dog sitting, I made sure the dog felt comfortable with both me and its surroundings. I also ensured that all their needs were met and that they were thriving. If the dog enjoys walks, they will be given one daily.
“Erin is an EARTH ANGEL!! We will certainly be hiring her again for our very high maintenance, anxiety bulldog. She is an absolute delight to communicate with and we are SO lucky to have found her!!”
“Conrad was absolutely fabulous. Everyone was very happy and well cared for. Communication was excellent, and pictures were sent as requested. We will definitely be using Conrad’s services again in the near future.”
“This was a 1st time experience for me, leaving a puppy, in a new environment. Matt exceeded my expectations! It was comforting to know my Quin was being so well taken care of. From the get go they connected and it was heartwarming to see how adaptable she was. I couldn’t be more pleased!”
“Santiago took fantastic care of our two dogs while we were out of country. Great communication and photos and he went the extra mile helping with some plant watering and laundry.”
“Kathy is our go-to dog sitter for our puppy Rosie! Shes wonderful with our pup, quick to respond, keeps us updated with pictures and has been super flexible when we had to adjust/extend her time with Rosie. I would highly recommend Kathy to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I have taken care of a post-surgery senior dog several times, experienced in topical and oral medication administration, punctual, chill, empathic, kind especially to animals. I wake up everyday feeding/taking out my family’s dogs, help my Dad administer optical medicine for his blind dog, it’s part of my daily routine of cleaning and cooking for my family. Attentive to pets’ needs, dependable in following through client’s instructions, and an ethical approach in making sure the animals emotional, physical and mental needs are met.

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.
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 , 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.
