“Sierra is extremely patient and empathetic. I have a very shy and skittish Border Collie. Sierra gave Bella space to decompress and stay in the comfort of her crate. Her kindness is so appreciated.”
“Tiffany was fantastic! She came over for a meet and greet before I booked and I knew right away that she was the right person. She constantly communicated with me so I was never left wondering that everything was ok. When I got home my dogs were happy and worn out from all the playing she did with them! I will definitely book her again.”
“Bridgett was amazing!!! She communicated with us about how our animals days went and she sent lots of pictures. She took care of our home and plants as well. Bridgett really seems to care about the quality of the service she is providing AND she truly cares for animals. Rare combination these days. We’ll be sure to book her for our future pet needs.”
“Love! Love! Love! Patricia is so sweet and very personable- she and I can talk for days. She was able to work with our schedule and our boy was in such good spirits after her stay with us. Can’t wait to book with her again! :-)”
About: I live in a very full and very happy home of five rescue doggos and a cat-that-thinks-she-is-a-dog. Needless to say, I juggle many different personalities, needs, and quirks every day. I feel most fulfilled getting to know animals for who they are and building trust at their own pace. I use positive reinforcement and pay close attention to behavioral cues, especially with dogs who are anxious, fearful, or need a little extra patience. I have hands-on experience managing multi-dog dynamics, including situations with food or fear aggression, so I’m very intentional about following each pet’s specific routine and your instructions. Alongside pet care, I’ve spent nearly two decades teaching dance to all ages, which taught me how to corral a group of strong personalities. The skills translate well: patience, awareness, and keeping structure and calm when things get a little unpredictable. At the end of the day, I treat every animal like a whole little person—just one who might occasionally eat something they absolutely shouldn’t. I keep a flexible schedule and can accommodate a range of routines. I book thoughtfully so I can be fully present, reliable, and consistent for your pets. My approach centers on safety, trust, and a calm, low-stress environment. I follow routines closely, read each pet’s cues, and let them warm up at their own pace so they feel secure and understood—not overwhelmed.
“Olivia stayed with my doberdork for a week over the thanksgiving holiday and I couldn’t be more pleased. She was extremely communicative and both pup and house were in excellent spirits/shape upon my return!”
“Mark was incredibly conscientious and great with our animals. He took the time to do a meet and greet and gave us great updates. I felt like he went the extra mile in every way, would recommend to anyone!”
“AJ is the besttttt!!!! They did a great job with the pups and took on the extra effort with our older dog just recently having TPLO surgery. They provided a lot of updates and they were so fun and great to talk to. AJ really cared about our pups and it meant a lot. Already booked them for a couple more stays.”
“We’ve had Belinda house sit for our dog twice now. She’s been wonderful and makes us reassured our dog is being well cared for while we’re away. Will hire her again for future trips we take. Our dog, Dewie, seems to love her too.”
“Claire watched Chowder for us for a few days while we were at a wedding! Couldn’t recommend her more. She sent lots of pictures and updates and we felt great knowing Chowder was in good hands!”
About: I am a nursing student passionate about pets! I love animals and have over 10 years of experience with pet care and house sitting. I love dogs and cats and have done both short and long term house sitting in the past! I am a nursing student that lives in Northern Colorado but I attend school in Denver. I also have a part time serving job. My schedule varies week to week, and semester to semester, but I am flexible! I am looking for pet parents that need drop in visits and walking services, and even house sitting when my schedule is open. I have lots of experience with house sitting, plant care, and pet care! I seek to provide reliable and consistent pet care. I try my best to provide quality pet care, as well as caring for the homes and yards of the pet parents.
“Gwen is amazing! She took care of Rocco just as I would and I could tell he misses her. She was very communicative and shared plenty of updates. Was quick to respond and made sure Rocco was getting tons of love.”
“Kayley is a super star, very flexible and attentive to our needs as owners as well as the pets. She was kind enough to check in again on our dog when our flight was delayed, and gave them lots of good attention which my anxious Husky needs:)”
“Holley was wonderful! Taking care of two Brittanys is not an easy task. It's been awhile since we left our pack at home. She kept us updated and sent photos. We will be hiring her again when we need a sitter. Highly recommend her for your fur babies. I would give her 10 stars if I could. We had a few special request and they were fullfilled. Earl and Reggie even decided to sleep in her room. Thanks Holley you were GREAT!!”
“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!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Welty
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 5,115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Welty. 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 Welty 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 Welty 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 Welty 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.
