“Michael did a great job taking care of our sweet old golden retriever and our young (18 month-old) rebellious one. He brought in mail and deliveries, and he watered plants. Overall, the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned, and the house was in great condition. We certainly recommend him and will book his services ourselves in the future.”
“Yeili took wonderful care of our very active Weimaraner and provided updates/photos throughout the weekend! She is kind and very responsive! Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’m new the rover community, but very excited to become apart of it. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs, but have more experience with older pups, and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. If you’re interested, I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have a a cat of my own - a gray tabby who is so sassy and full of courage! I’m currently a full time student, who has plenty of time to chill and pamper your furry companions on the weekends! I am free through the weekday, but only after 3 pm! Depending on the service, I’m flexible to any accommodations that the pups need to feel comfortable and safe! Having pets of my own, I hope anyone who provides care while I’m away would treat them as their own and this is the standard I hold for myself as well!
“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.”
“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!”
“Maddy and Nicole took wonderful care of our two border terrier dogs while we were away for 10 days. They were attentive, responsive, proactively communicated, and kept us updated with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. One of our dogs unexpectedly needed medication, and they handled everything with care and made sure he received it as instructed. We came home to a clean house and two very happy pups, which says it all. We felt completely reassured knowing they were in such great hands. We would gladly have Maddy and Nicole watch our pups again and highly recommend them. Thank you both so much!”
“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! 😊”
“Jordan was absolutely incredible with my dog Cali for the weekend. She is an older pup and he took such great care of her. He was attentive and timely and kept in communication with me throughout the entire weekend. I can't recommend him enough!”
“Rachel was amazing! She took such great care of our dog. She communicated with us her whole stay and sent lots of pictures and updates which we loved. We would highly recommend Rachel and will be making plans for her to watch our dog again in the future.”
“Terri stayed at our house for 3 nights taking care of 2 dogs and 1 cat. She did a great job with communication, sending photos, updates, and made sure everyone was happy. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Wonderful Dog Sitter!! We had such a great experience having Emily watch our dogs for 10 days! She followed all of our instructions, took the dogs on walks, and gave them lots of love and attention. We also came home to our house clean and tidy, which was such an added bonus. We felt completely comfortable knowing our dogs and home were in great hands. Highly recommend! ❤️”
“Nicole was fantastic. She was so communicative and gave great updates throughout the dogsitting stay. She also came a couple days earlier than planned at the last minute bc of a family emergency that we had come up. We really appreciate her flexibility! We’ll definitely keep booking Nicole!”
“Kristen was amazing! I was so anxious to leave my furbabies but she totally put me at ease and did a great job of sending updates and photos while we were gone! She even took care of my jungle of plants as well! So glad to have found someone I can trust with all my babies 💕”
“Haley was amazing! She comforted me by sending updates with photos and videos. I knew my two needy dogs were in good hands and it helped me enjoy my trip so much more!”
“Mitch was amazing!!! he took great care of my dog and cat and he showed a lot of flexibility to meet my needs as I was flying out early and flying home late. I greatly appreciate. Just having the faith that my two loved ones were taken care of so well. I will book him again at any time he’s available in the future thanks Mitch you’re awesome!”
“Vanessa was fantastic! She was attentive and caring in every detail of looking after my pup. She was prompt and inquisitive to make sure she understood our desires for care before the visit and was very flexible as I added some instructions during the visit. I can’t wait to go away again and leave D.O.G. with her and have no worries.”
“Megan was fabulous!! She took great care of our pup Arya with lots of walks and cuddles. She was very responsive and kept us updated while we were out of town. She also took lots of photos and left our home spotless!! We will definitely be having her again!!”

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☺️
We loved having Laura stay at our place and care for our pico girl! She was so responsive and helpful especially right after our cat had surgery. We were so nervous to leave our cat after surgery but Laura made us feel so much better. She was comfortable giving meds as well as keeping an extra eye on her. Will book again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Wheat Ridge
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.
As of October 2026, there are 8,815 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
