“Rosie is awesome!! She took great care of our 8 month old puppy and our home while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and had great communication throughout the stay. She would check in with little videos and pictures of our pup and kept us in the loop about timing and everything. We did not have to worry or wonder at all with her here. And when we returned, our house was super clean even though it had snowed and our backyard was muddy. Above and beyond. Thank you, Rosie!”
“Amy did a fantastic job taking care of my babies :) she walked Bee, made sure she took her medicine, and gave them both plenty of snuggles. I would absolutely rebook if needed <3”
“Erin was awesome! She took great care of all three furry babies and kept me updated the whole time so I felt good being away. I especially loved the report cards, such a nice touch!”
“Erika was wonderful with our old guy. She took great care of Bubba, gave him meds 4 times a day & did his workouts with him. She made our trip more enjoyable knowing he was in such great hands.”
“Our dogs were immediately comfortable with McKenna when they first met her. We had to take a last minute trip and she took great care of them! We can tell our dogs really enjoyed their time with her. I would not hesitate to book her again! Thank you!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job. Our dogs have never been separated from us and they were content and themselves on our return. The house was the same as we left mail neatly stacked on the counter. Couldn’t ask for more”
“Patricia is just amazing! Her updates and pics were great, she left my home very clean and neat, and stayed later than originally planned to ensure my dog wouldn’t be left alone too long after my flight delays.”
About: While growing up, I have had cats and dogs my whole life! Ranging from small dogs to larger dogs, I am comfortable with anything in between. I have done pet sitting throughout the neighborhood, but I would love to have more opportunities. Animals are just the best. I work in Broomfield Tues-Thurs at the office from 8-5. However, on Mondays and Fridays I work from home and have a very flexible schedule so I can definitely make time to pop in and do an in-house check in and plenty of dog walks! I am usually pretty flexible on the weekends as well! I am very respectful in someone else’s home and ensure safety for your pet since that’s what I would want from anyone watching my fur baby! I follow instructions and would never go astray. I like to go on long walks and I would love to have company during them!
“Danielle was great with watching Mila at my home! Very commutative and prompt with responding. The litter box and house was left clean. I look forward to rebooking in the future :)”
“So glad that Carissa was available to watch my babies for a long weekend! She was great with updates and pictures and I felt really good knowing she was there with them. She took wonderful care of my babies and my home, leaving my place so clean and nice. She’s a gem and I will absolutely use her again! Thank you Carissa! 🙏”
“Sydney is amazing! Our (rescued) dog is incredibly codependent and naturally anxious, so she does best to have someone with her when my husband and I are gone for an entire day - Sydney helped watched her, and when we came home our pup was nice and relaxed - a fantastic sign that she was well loved! We’ll definitely be booking Sydney again :)”
About: Animal lover alert! I have a deep love and connection for all living things, especially cats and dogs. I currently have three, yes THREE, cats of my own. I grew up with very large dogs, and spent a lot of my free time sitting for friends and family. I have experience with baby animal care, including bottle feeding kittens. I have the patience and steady hand for seniors and animals that require more care. I’m not afraid to administer medication or handle behavioral issues. I am responsible, knowledgeable, and have a keen eye for detail. Above all, I love learning and spending time with pets! My schedule is currently quite flexible during the weekdays, and weekends are open for more involved care. Currently, my part time job allows me to adjust my schedule weekly, sometimes daily, since our work is project based. I have the ability to go on day-of walks or quick drop ins on demand depending on the day and time. Your house, your rules! I can accommodate whatever needs are necessary based on the type of pet you have and how your home is set up. I’m happy to uphold any routine! Special instructions are my speciality.
“Samantha was amazing! We were so lucky to have her watch our dog while we were away for a few days. She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures but most importantly she made us feel like our dog was in great hands while we were away which any dog owner will know is a great comfort. Couldn’t be happier with our experience and I hope we can have her again!”
“Janelle was fantastic! Lots of pictures and full updates about the days. My skittish cat warmed to her on day 1! She left the house clean and neat. This was exactly what we needed after having a bad experience boarding the pets on a previous vacation. I’d 100% book with her again!”
“Nice was an awesome dog sitter for my pitbull! She was very responsive and kept me up to date with daily messages throughout the stay. I would highly recommend and use her again for future pup sitting! :)”
“Branham did a wonderful job watching Bowie! I was so impressed by his great communication, providing updates on how he was doing, and making sure my house was clean when I came home. Plus he got a bonus play friend with Bandit, which I know he loved. I will be booking again! :) thank you!”
“Alicia is excellent! Watched our dogs over a weekend for us and took them on multiple walks, played with them in our backyard, brushed them, and sent plenty of update of pictures so we could see how much fun they were having with her. We would love to have her watch our pups again the next time we are out of town!”
“April house-sat for me for a week and took great care of my two dogs—they clearly enjoyed having her around. She was also thoughtful and attentive with details around the house; I had an Eldorado water delivery scheduled while I was away, and she made sure the empty bottles were out in time for pickup (which is more than I can say for myself 😅). I would happily book April again.”
“My puppies (Great Danes) absolutely fell in love with Felicity and she was in regular communication about them. I felt very safe and secure knowing my babies were in amazing hands!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Welby
Sydney was WONDERFUL! She treated my babies like her own. I can see how much she truly cares about animals and she was absolutely a surrogate mom to my babies while I was gone. I will always book her for my future sitting needs! She is remarkable. I can’t say enough good things about her!
She took excellent care of our dogs, and we couldn't be happier with her service. When we got home, our dogs were incredibly happy and clearly well cared for. She always kept us updated with photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She even took the time to do a meet-and-greet visit beforehand and was very thoughtful and detail-oriented in everything she did. We will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her 100% to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
When booking a new Rover stay, you HOPE to find someone as courteous and responsible as Taylor. This was our first booking with Taylor. She house sat our two bulldogs and was absolutely wonderful. She is timely, communicative and caring. She followed instructions, left our home clean, and took amazing care of our doggies! She made our trip home easy and worry free. Thank you so much!
Emma helped us out when my trip had to be rescheduled for an urgent family health issue. She stayed overnight and also made sure that Lucy wasn't left alone for long stretches of time during the day, which was extremely helpful and appreciated. She was flexible and worked with me on ensuring Lucy's schedule was kept as consistent as possible, including working around an existing dog walking schedule (with a separate company) that I wanted to keep. The house was clean and Lucy was happy and healthy when I returned home! I would recommend Emma!
Courtney was fantastic with our dog and two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She was very communicative and sent daily photos. She took great care of our pets and even understood how to handle one of our more spicy cats! Will absolutely have her over again in the future to watch our pets!
McKenna was a great sitter for our 5 month old pup, Honey! She stayed with Honey for 3 nights and was a great communicator and sent pics and updates. I was never worried that she was going to dissappear. When we got back Honey was in a good mood and the house was in great shape. We hope to have her back next time we leave town. Thank you, McKenna!!
Miriam was the best sitter I've had for Gus in years! During our meet & greet, she brought her own questions about my home and her stay which felt proactive. Before her stay with Gus, we chatted about last minute questions and details, and she was flexible and communicative with me about her arrival time. During her stay, she was extremely communicative with tons of detailed updates and pictures of Gus, and I really appreciated that if she had a question about something, she didn't hesitate to ask. When we got home, our house was immaculate - she even vacuumed! Highly recommend booking Miriam to stay with your fur babies!

FAQs for House Sitting - Welby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Welby on Rover is $43.99 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,011 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Welby. 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 Welby 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 Welby 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 Welby 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.
