“We had a wonderful experience with Hannah as our dog sitter! She was communicative throughout (before and after as well) the stay and sent a great amount of photos and updates, which gave us peace of mind without being overwhelming. She also did a wonderful job navigating our older dog's needs while managing a small space with other, more challenging dogs that live in nearby apartments. Hannah also took wonderful care of our home and communicated throughout regarding anything she used or needed. We really appreciated the care and attention she gave our sweet pup, and we can't wait to book with her again!”
“Patricia was absolutely amazing with my two boys. Bentley is quite the trouble maker and she was great with him. I loved the updates and pictures she sent me, it put my heart at ease. Very professional and great person. Came home to a clean house. I would definitely recommend her and I would have her watch my two boys again.”
“Brooklyn has been amazing in caring for our dogs, cats and guinea pig. We have used her for many walks And now a multi day/night trip. She kept us updates and stayed at our house which was a big relief to know our dogs were taken care of even during the night.”
“Sierra was very friendly and treated our dog Sadie very well. It was challenging for all of us because our dog Sadie is still a puppy of 71/2 months and we haven’t left her alone with someone else overnight. So a one night trial to see how she would cope. Sierra fairly new at dog sitting did well, our house was as we left it and Sadie had been taken good care of. We plan on using Sierra in the future for another one nighter to get our dog accustomed to being left with a sitter and we are looking forward to a longer vacation.”
About: Animals make life so much better, and I’ve been looking after them as a side hustle for 20 years. I work full time at a library in Northern Colorado. I work full time Monday through Friday. Prefer to stay over with your animal so their routine isn’t disrupted. Love going for walks with dogs, and will make sure they get some exercise before and after my shift. I have extensive experience staying over with animals in people’s homes and am a respectful and cozy houseguest. Always happy to learn the particulars of each home.
“Karys is amazing! She stayed in our home with our pup for 5 days and gave us photos, videos and updates everyday. Our home was perfect and our dog happy! HIGHLY recommend ❤️”
“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!”
“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.”
“Claire was super communicative and we could tell she gave our dogs the proper care but also love we want for them with a sitter. She respected our space impeccably, leaving it even better than she found it.”
“Daniel was very good about communicating and was at ease with our three fairly big dogs right away. I felt comfortable with him in our home and the dogs and home were well cared for. I’ll definitely ask Daniel back :)”
“Aj is awesome! She’s cared for my dogs multiple times and every time she takes care of them like if they were her own. She is great a communicating and giving updates as well.”
“Rory was fantastic! 11ish days with my temperamental chi and his 4 kitties... I will definitely be keeping her on my shortlist for future trips! Rory sent pics and videos during my trip to help ease my anxiety of being away from the babies. I can tell my brood had a good experience!”
About: I have been around dogs for over 20 years. I can connect with them in ways others cannot. I have never had an issue with a dog and people often tell me that dogs love me. I am currently looking to take on as much as I can! I am a runner so if your dog likes going on runs I can take them with me or if they like the slower pace of walking I can do that too. I’m a grad student so when I’m not in class I’m at home My roommate has a dog that stays in his kennel most of the day besides when he is let out and if there is another dog in the house that I am watching over they stay with me in my room and typically never leave my side
“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:)”
“Niki did a good job watching my extremely timid little rat terrier. She was patient and gave my dog time to warm up to her by the end of the stay. My house was left neat and clean. Thank you, Niki!”
About: I professionally worked with dogs for 3 years and have experience working with all types of dogs large and small, high energy and mellow, social and shy. I’m well acquainted with administering medication orally and topically. High quality photos during our time will also be provided :) It’s a priority of mine to respect your home and leave your home just as it was when you left and with a happy dog when you return! NOTE: I do not accept 90+ lb dogs that are known to pull/get riled up by environmental factors. I am pretty small myself so I cannot safely handle such dogs. This is for the safety of both your pup and me! Thanks for checking my profile! As of now, I am currently unemployed and Rover is my main gig. That means more time and availability for you and your pup! If this changes it will be reflected here. I will always treat your home and your pet with utmost care and respect. ❤️ I’m in tune with reading dog behavior and language and can adjust my manner to whatever is needed to make your pet comfortable and happy.
“Tiffany did a great job with house sitting and taking care of our senior Labrador. We appreciated all of the photos and updates and she helped out when we got an unexpected package. We will continue using her services and appreciate her help.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 5,065 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.
