“Natalie is a fantastic sitter. Not just great with the pups, but keeps a clean home. Comes well prepared and know dogs as well as anyone I know. She's on the short list of best dog sitter's in the region for sure.”
“Michael was great and was very helpful in securing a short-notice sitter. He was flexible and able to adapt to my larger pack. Very communicative and was able to accommodate their various needs. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a sitter who may have a less typical pet situation.”
“puppy sitter than Mandy! She took exceptional care of our corgi, Sophie, while we were away for 15 days, going above and beyond to ensure Sophie was happy, healthy, and well-loved. Mandy sent us thoughtful updates and adorable pictures twice a day, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she made a genuine effort to bond with Sophie, and we could tell Sophie adored her in return! What truly set Mandy apart was her dedication to Sophie’s well-being. She ensured that Sophie received her crucial twice-daily eye drops without fail—something that is so important for maintaining her eye pressure. Knowing that Sophie was in such capable and caring hands made all the difference. Not only was Sophie well cared for, but our home was also in perfect condition when we returned. Mandy’s reliability, attentiveness, and kindness make her an absolute gem, and we will absolutely be looking to book with her again in the future. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and detail-oriented sitter, we can’t recommend Mandy enough!”
“Jennifer was great! She communicated regularly throughout our stay, took wonderful care of our dog and even better care of the house! She washed all the sheets, cleaned our kitchen area and even shoveled snow from the walkway and backyard. Would highly recommend.”
“Yeili is wonderful! She’s very communicative, left my home clean, and takes such good care of my cats while I’m away! I would definitely recommend Yeili if you are looking for someone who is reliable and loves your pets like you do!”
“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!”
“Margaret was great! She stayed with our two girls for a weekend- one being medically complex and needing medications at specific times. She gave us frequent updates and we knew our girls were in great hands!”
“From the beginning there was such a good communication with Zapora, she and Fiona got along very well and very quickly, she took good care of our baby Fiona when she needed it the most, we are super grateful for all the walks and patience.”
“Jenny was wonderful! She looked after my dog, Boo, for a few days while I was out of town for work. I found it so easy to relax and trust Jenny to look after Boo. I've had a couple of not great experiences on Rover in the past, so this was a huge relief! From the very beginning she was incredibly communicative and sent me lots of updates throughout her stay. When I got back, Boo was very calm and clearly had a nice time with Jenny. She also took great care of the house while she was staying here. It was such a wonderful experience, we will definitely book again with Jenny in the future!”
“Carissa took wonderful care of our 2 young kitties while we were away for our wedding weekend and also our overseas honeymoon - 2 weeks in total. She was great about communicating and sending photos, and it felt like our boys were truly loved by her 😊 We knew from her profile and conversations that she had done more dog sitting than cat sitting, but we felt she did a great job of getting to know and connect with our cats while we were away. She snuggled lots with our snuggly boy and “cracked the code” to bond with our other kitty who can be a little feisty and particular 😂 We came home to a clean house and peaceful kitties. Thank you, Carissa - we’d be happy to have you back in the future!”
“Kelly took such great care of our baby! We were out of the country for 12 days and felt totally at ease knowing that Kelly was with our pup. Her communication was fabulous. We look forward to having her back!”
“Konner did an excellent job of taking care of Nessie and my home. He came to meet Nessie ahead of time and learn about her care. He kept me informed all weekend and my home was neat and tidy when I returned. I highly recommend Konner.”
“Ashlyn was great with my dog! He can be nervous and a little awkward especially around new people but he seemed to love her. I wasn’t constantly worried about what they were doing which allowed me to enjoy my trip more.”
“Angelica was a great pet sitter! She was very communicative, played with our dogs and sent lots of pictures. We definitely recommend her and will hire her again!”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle attention. I’m just as happy caring for cats as I am dogs and will respect each cat’s unique personality and routine. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like family. My goal is to give you the same peace of mind you’d have leaving your furry family member with a trusted friend. Meet and greets are always welcome and preferred before booking so we can make sure we’re a great fit for each other! I work weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. and am a great fit for pets that are comfortable being alone during those hours. Before and after work, I’ll provide plenty of walks, playtime, cuddles, and overnight companionship while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I typically work remotely on Thursdays and Fridays, which may allow for additional flexibility. Weekends are generally wide open for extra time, adventures, and quality time with your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll follow all of your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any special routines. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keep it clean and secure, and provide regular updates with photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I strive to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re gone.
“Peace was amazing and made us feel very comfortable with our first time using Rover! She communicated well and provided great updates. She followed our instructions and was very professional! She took our dog on lots of walks, which we loved! Peace also left our house spotless and our dog was happy and herself when we got back! I would recommend Peace to anyone looking for a Rover! We hope to continue to have her watch our pup in the future.”
“Wonderful sitter! Stayed at our house and took great care of it! Nala pics and updates were given at least once a day and we felt so so happy to have Katie here taking care of her. Would definitely try to book with her again!”

Excellent pet sitter! Amy watched both my cat & cavalier puppy for 2 weeks while I was traveling out of the country. She was always providing daily updates on both pets, extremely courteous, and was very mindful of the house and pet guide. 10-stars! I highly recommend Amy for your pet needs, and will definitely reach out to her again for pet services.
Chris was super communicative and took SUCH good care of our German shepherd. He even took her to the dog pool we have a punch pass to 🥹 We are so grateful for the peace of mind it brought us while out of town for 2 weeks, and will definitely use Chris again.
Maxene is AMAZING!! From the meet n greet to the pictures and updates of Koda throughout her 3-night stay was incredible! My dog was super comfortable with her and I felt very comfortable having her in my home and taking care of my pup! She left the place very clean and organized, and even moved our trash can back from the alleyway after trash pick up day. Super trustworthy and easy to communicate with - will definitely be using her again when we Koda needs a pet sitter!!
Nick did an excellent job watching Finn and Henry this past weekend. His communication was outstanding—he sent pictures and kept us informed throughout the stay. Finn's been having a tougher week, and Nick really went the extra mile, keeping a close eye on him and making sure he was doing okay. Highly recommend.
Heather was great! We have theoretically “easy” pets but they are quirky. We were away for our wedding so not super reachable but Heather was great and sent many updates. I was never worried about them while we were away. Appreciate Heather so much and will definitely be working with her again!
Morgan was amazing with my dog! I appreciated that she took notes of Evie’s routine and tried to maintain as much normalcy for her while we were away. She maintained great communication and sent me lots of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. Will absolutely book Morgan again for sitting!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wheat Ridge
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wheat Ridge on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 8,926 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wheat Ridge. 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 Wheat Ridge 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 Wheat Ridge 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 Wheat Ridge 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.
