“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.”
“Lauren was amazing! The dogs loved her and she kept me in the loop with updates and pictures throughout the day. Will absolutely ask Lauren to sit for the dogs again.”

“Shannon watched our dogs for the first time last weekend on short notice and she was wonderful! Incredibly responsive, sent pictures of our doggies, and took them on walks and frequently let them out. Will definitely rely on her again soon!”
“Conrad was great with Myla! He took her on her daily walks, played with her outside, and was very attentive to her needs. Myla can be reactive and has a range of different temperaments, and Conrad did a great job handling her and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. We really appreciated his communication and care while we were away. Highly recommend! 😊”
“Janel was awesome! It was the first time we left the dogs with someone but we felt so at ease with Janel that we never worried while we were gone. Both dogs were happy when we got home and it was obvious she had taken great care of them. We look forward to having her take care of them again!”
“Alicia did an amazing job taking care of our dog! She gave him so much attention and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We really appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures she sent, which let us know he was happy and well cared for. It was clear she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. We would absolutely book with Alicia again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”

Remi was a wonderful dog sitter and person! She was in contact with us regularly throughout the 5 days that she stayed in our house, and took such great care of Lexi. She really knows dogs and is so responsible for both our dog and our house. Remi really went the extra mile to make sure everything went well and took real initiative, caring down to every detail. Looking forward to having her come back!
So sweet and friendly! My dogs loved having her with them and we already book the next time we are out of town with her. She is very communicative, will send a lot of pics of your fur babies and we came home to a nice clean house (which is a must for me). She was very respectful around the house and friendly with my kids too! I highly recommend her!!
Miranda is absolutely wonderful. I am so so grateful for her expertise and thoughtfulness. She took such good care of Wyatt, doing topical treatments and giving multiple medications for an infection and concurrent lupus flair-up. She was also so kind and flexible in accommodating my schedule, even changing the linens and making the bed for me, knowing I would be getting in late after driving all day. I could not recommend her more.
Amazing dogsitter! We had a last minute need for a sitter and Scott responded immediately. Lulu is very shy and hesitant and Scott took the time to make her comfortable. He was so patient with her and cared so much about connecting with her and making sure she was happy. We will definitely ask him to sit for Lulu again when we leave town!
Raven was amazing!! We used her while we were going out of the country, and unfortunately, the day before we left, our dog was attacked by another dog and had to undergo surgery. We were so stressed about leaving her after everything that happened, but Raven immediately made us feel so much better and reassured us that our pets were in great hands. She sent us lots of updates throughout our trip, gave our dog her medications, and even kept an eye on her stitches for us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Raven was there taking such great care of her while we were away. We would 100% use Raven again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to take care of their pets!!
We had to switch dog sitters recently and had Michael stay at our house for the first time, and he was such a pleasure! Not only is he a thoughtful, kind person, he is very conscientious about staying in someone else’s house. He cleaned up after himself, washed the sheets and re-made the bed, and then left us a little framed photo of our dog for when we arrived home :) How sweet! He sent us pictures every day of our pup even just being lazy around the house (that’s what he does!) communication was excellent and he was on time for meet-ups. Michael is reliable, genuine, and takes his role seriously! We will absolutely be hoping to have Michael be our go-to dog/house sitter!
Joanna was such a huge help to me and my partner. She accommodated a fairly last minute request and helped ease my mind during a weekend away. I appreciated the photo and video updates, great communication, and her commitment to maintaining my pup’s routine. I would absolutely book Joanna 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!
Ericha was very sweet with our Roo! This was our first time using the Rover app. So she was very helpful letting us know what she all needed to have a successful experience. She sent great updates and pictures! We will definitely be using her in the future☺️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Wheat Ridge is $56 per night as of October 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
