“This is the second time Jennifer has watched my senior dog for me and I never have to worry knowing she is watching him for me. I get regular message updates along with pictures of how my dog is doing. Highly recommend booking with Jennifer!!”
“Mandy was amazing! She took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated with messages and photos the whole time. Her communication was clear and consistent, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she watches. We’d absolutely trust her again—highly recommend!”
“Our family was super blessed to have Brandon this is the second time we have used Brandon first time was from a different platform. He did take care of our pups and our home, we highly recommend them for any stay.”
“Kathleen was a true professional from the start. She was communicative and prompt. She took excellent care of our home and our dog. She even went the extra mile and took care of our gardens and chickens. She left the house tidy and it was clear she'd been very respectful of our home during our 2 week trip.”
“Kelly is awesome! She took wonderful care of our two pups and provided regular updates with pics. This was our first time using a pet sitter, and it was an excellent experience. We highly recommend Kelly!”
“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.”
“Maggie was exceptional throughout the entire process and I highly recommend her services! We had three dogs and she gave each of them the loving they needed while we were away, while providing us updates of all the fun they were having together!”
“Angie was amazing. I booked with her last minute and she was responsive from the moment I contacted her. She sent me updates twice a day as requested, always including photos and how Luna was doing. She also left my house as if she had never been there! Thank you, Angie!”
“Danielle is an attentive, kind, communicative professional. My pet experienced an unexpected medical issue during his stay with Danielle. She went above what I would expect for a sitter. She was very concerned and caring for my pet and responded quickly to my texts and phone calls. I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone who needs a caring professional for their pet.”
“Sarah was a perfect fit for our pet and house-sitting needs. We recently moved to Colorado and travel frequently for work, so finding someone we could trust with our kitty, Shimmy, was incredibly important. We were away on a two-week international trip, and Sarah took wonderful care of both our home and our cat. She was communicative, responsive, and kept us updated throughout our travels. During our time away, she encountered a couple of unexpected issues and handled both professionally and calmly, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned home, the house was in perfect condition, and Shimmy was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy pet and house sitter.”
“Bethany was great with our dog and chickens for a week while we were out of town. She responded quickly to any questions I had and was with our dog a lot while we were gone! I will definitely book again with Bethany.”
“We loved having Mitch stay with our pups during our babymoon. He sent us pics and had us reassured that we could walk away and enjoy our vacation. The pups were so happy when we returned and I can tell they enjoyed all the snuggles and attention they had while we were gone. One of our pups is a bit more difficult to handle and it doesn’t phase Mitch a bit. He’s a great sitter and we can’t wait to book with him again!”
“Haley was absolutely fantastic. We had to book her last minute. The moment we met her, our dogs adored her. She has awesome energy and took great care of our 2 dogs and home while we were away. Will definitely use her again!!!”
“Aimee was 11/10 sitter for our two doggies, one who’s a senior and requires extra care and daily meds. She communicated well with photos and updates on the doggies. The home was left in great condition. So happy to have found her and hope to utilize her services again. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Sierra provided for our 2 huskies. Our dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned, and we loved receiving regular updates and photos. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“I had an absolutely amazing experience with Janelle! She cared for my dog just as I would, sticking to his routines and treating him with so much kindness and love. Her detailed daily updates reassured me that he was in the best hands, and I had complete confidence that all his needs were being met. Knowing he was so well cared for gave me total peace of mind while I was traveling. On top of that, she left my home in perfect condition - if not better than when I left! I truly can’t say enough great things about Janelle, and I will absolutely be booking her again in the future.”
“Scarlett is the type of sitter you hope to find on here! They are extremely professional and communicate extremely well! Lucky I found them and will continue to book with them for my pet needs!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wheat Ridge
Taylor is incredibly thoughtful and attentive. He took my dog on multiple walks each day to her favorite places and went above and beyond to care for my home. His attention to the little things and extra effort reflect the genuine kindness and care he brings to pet sitting. I highly recommend him.
Allison was so easy to coordinate with and very nice. Our cat Chester seemed bright-eyed and bushy-tailed when we got home which is a great sign. She also sent some check in photos and seemed to take good care of our home. We would definitely book again. Thank you, Allison!
Ines is wonderful. She was diligent and thoughtful at our meet and greet, taking time to ask the right questions about Bowie and his needs. While I was away she was communicative, sent lots of pictures and took great care of my apartment and pup. Thanks so much Ines
Maxene was wonderful! She took care of our 8th month old pup while we were away for the weekend. She was on-time and seemed very kind and capable. She sent us plenty of cute pictures and updates and gave us a good recap when we got back. She even took Moose out on a walk right before we got home in effort to tire him out. We recommend her and would love to have her back to watch Moose another time !
We have only wonderful things to say about Nicole, she was a fantastic sitter for both our dogs while we were away. Extremely responsive, accommodating, and patient with one of our more nervous dogs needs. House looked better than we left it - we will definitely be requesting her in the future!
Natalie stayed at our house for 10 days and took amazing care of our frenchie Pierre while we were on a trip out of the country. We’ve never left him for this long and I was initially feeling like a nervous wreck about leaving him with anyone. But Natalie really eased all of my worries by the time we even left. She sent us daily updates and photos of our boy while we were away so I never had to wonder how he was doing which I appreciated so much and looked forward to every day. Pierre has special needs in that he has epilepsy and requires medication 2x/day to prevent seizures. He also has additional medications to be used in the event of a seizure which we provided her all of the instructions for. Natalie took all of his medication instructions like a champ and wasn’t intimidated by his needs at all which was a HUGE relief. Pierre is an only dog who is not used to having other dogs in his space. He’s very high energy which can be a lot for other dogs and he hasn’t been socialized too much so I wasn’t too sure how he would do with Natalie’s dog June Bug in his space. They fully warmed up to each other after about a day or two and her sweet baby June Bug was just the perfect dog to help Pierre learn some doggy social skills. By the end of our trip, we were getting pictures of the dogs giving kisses and being so sweet together. We can tell Pierre misses his bestie June Bug so much! We missed our first flight back so we ended up needing to ask Natalie to stay for an extra night very last minute and she was so flexible to do that for us! It was also so lovely to come back to a spotless home! We would definitely book Natalie again and we can’t thank her enough for watching our baby boy and taking such great care of him <3
Lilly is the perfect house sitter. She was professional, communicative, and took great care of our senior bulldog. Lilly also tended to house tasks like taking in the mail, packages, taking out the garbage etc. It was such a relief to know that our pup and home were in such good hands and we'll definitely be asking her for future stays.
5 stars - I would absolutely recommend them! They did a phenomenal job caring for my cats and went above and beyond everything I asked. They were also very reasonably priced, which I especially appreciated as someone on a budget. I received consistent updates and great photos, and it was clear my cats were getting plenty of attention and love. They even left toys for my cats, which was such a thoughtful and sweet extra touch! I would happily book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great cat sitter!
Brandon and Gregor got along very well. Brandon seemed very caring and attentive to Gregor. He was respectful regarding everything surrounding our home. He stayed One hour longer as agreed, so that we can go out to dinner. He’s a very nice young man. I would hire him again if the need arose.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wheat Ridge is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.

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.
