“Beverly did a great job with our dog Koda. We will definitely be using her again. She sent pictures everyday and left the house exactly how we left it. I would recommend her to anyone! ☺️”
“Alison is fantastic! I highly recommend Alison if you need someone to care for your pets. She stayed at our home with our two dogs, ( a 7-month-old puppy and a 9-year-old senior dog) while we were out of town for three days. She took great care of them and I had no concerns or worries while they were in her care. Alison was is constant communication with us about their daily activities and sent several pictures of them showing how happy and active they were. The house was well cared for. Didn't look like anyone was even here! Again, I highly recommend her!”
“Nicole is simply the best. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than her. She’s dependable, reliable, and responsible. I know when Nicole is there I can fully relax on my trip because my puppies are in the best hands. My go-to sitter!! ✨✨”
“Edyn was a wonderful Rover for my 6 yr old mini Schauzer. In fact, we've booked her again already. She's very prompt, sent photos and updates, and clearly loves dogs. Highly recommended”
“He did absolutely amazing with our pups and made sure they had plenty of entertainment, potty breaks, and medications. He was great with communication and I appreciated all the updates.”
About: My family has had dogs for my entire life and I don't think that I would be who I am without them. I have lots of experience caring for both my dogs and other friends and family's pets as well. I am also a big soccer player, so I love getting my runs or walks in with my dogs! I currently work part time in Colorado Springs, so I will have lots of time to care for your pets. I also have my own car so transportation will never be an issue. I am also very active and I would love to help keep your pet active as well! I am happy to help keep your home feeling like home for your pet while you are away. I do my best to closely follow instructions in order to keep your pet comfortable and happy and safe!
“Maria was fantastic! My dogs are a handful - they're anxious and not great with new people, so I always worry about finding sitters - but they absolutely loved Maria! Maria came by the week before for a meet and greet to get to know the dogs and the house, and for the dogs to get comfortable with her. She spent loads of time connecting with them and playing with them, enough so that when she came back for the house sit, they were excited to see her and not overly anxious about me leaving. It made it much easier for me to go and I was so much less stressed the entire time I was gone. Maria responded quickly to all messages before and during the house sit, and sent me photo updates of the dogs while I was gone. I came back to three very happy dogs who were excited to see me, but also sad to see her go. I'm so enormously grateful to Maria for taking such great care of them and making things so easy on me!”
“Danielle was great! She took excellent care of my high energy dogs and kept the house really nice and clean. She sent me updates and I got to see how happy my dogs were playing outside, going for hikes, and getting lots of attention. Would definitely recommend her for anyone who needs their pups looked after.”
About: Not much that sets me apart besides the fact that I have ADHD which means I hyper focus on things and will just hyper focus on the things that your pet needs/wants. And since I am able to do that with the combination of my experience with my own pets your pets will love to stay with me. Pet care is my full-time focus. Because I don't have a traditional 9-to-5, my schedule is completely flexible, allowing me to prioritize your pet's specific routine. Whether they need a mid-day medication dose, extra-long walks, or just someone home for consistent companionship, I am available to provide undivided attention and quick responses throughout the day. I provide a "home away from home" experience rooted in consistency. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, supervised environment with a routine that mirrors their own. When visiting your home, I prioritize security and cleanliness, ensuring your pet feels safe in their natural habitat. Regardless of the location, I maintain your specific feeding, exercise, and medical schedules with 100% precision, supplemented by frequent photo updates and plenty of one on one attention.
“Kimberly was very communicative throughout my time away and seemed great with the animals! I came back and she had cleaned the litter box without asking and all 4 animals were very happy and well taken care of!”
About: Hello! My name is Amy. I have many loves in my life which include my 9 children, my beautiful granddaughters, and my dogs! I've taken care of all kinds of dogs for 27 adult years and even when I was a kid I helped take care of our family dog. Our family loves dogs! I can bathe, brush, walk, administer medicine, and love on your family pet. I've trained many puppies with much success. I am my friends and families go to dog sitter. I am here most days with my kids who love to play and love on animals. Your dog will have access to the outside and inside of the house. I understand that leaving your beloved family member is hard but I will send you updates and photos all through their stay to reassure that they are having a great time while you are away. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend! I do work part time outside the house. I am flexible with setting appointments or even spur of the moment I am currently working part time outside the home, so I have plenty of time to play with your family pet when I am not working. At our house your dog is part of our family and my children are all involved in the care and love of your pet. Your dog will be tired and happy when you come get them after having lots of playtime and loving. They won’t want to leave here.
“I can’t say enough how great Hillarie was when she took care of our dogs and stayed at our home. I have 2 medically challenged dogs, one that will become critically ill without his medication and one very old lab that is difficult to get up and out the door. Hillarie’s experience as a vet tech gave us all the peace of mind we needed to head out of town. She made it seem like a breeze, sent us updates and photos daily, and even stripped the bed and put the sheets in the wash! Hillarie has a heart of gold when it comes to animals, even adopting sick, old and unwanted pets. I highly recommend Hillarie and will definitely hire her again in the future!”
“Sarah did an amazing job. Took great care of Bandit and sent lots of pictures and updates. I also think my house was cleaner when she left than when she got here. I am amazed and thankful that I was able to have her watch my home and my puppy. I can’t recommend Sarah enough and will not hesitate to have her back in the future. Thank you again!”
About: Years of owning different pets or being around them. Have raised puppies into good dogs. Watched my buddies aged and learned how to take care of them and not push them too hard. I pay attention to subtle changes in the dogs behavior and adjust what is needed to ensure their safety and comfort. The days I have available are because I work full-time Tuesday through Friday and I do not have a set clock out time as it varies day by day. My off/free days are flexible, and any scheduled time is devoted to your pup. When I get to watch your dog at your home, I will follow the rules you have laid out. My goal will be to maintain the safe and calm environment you as the owner have set for the dog, but playing and horsing around as able.
“My husband and I just got back from a trip to Germany, and since we’re still pretty new to the Colorado Springs area, we were a little nervous about leaving our dogs with someone new. We found Kaitlyn on Rover, and honestly, she was great! She took care of our two dogs for a whole week and made the whole experience really easy for us. She sent regular updates and lots of pictures, which we really appreciated. It made us feel so much better being away and knowing they were doing well. We’re really glad we found her and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾”

FAQs for House Sitting - Wigwam
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Wigwam on Rover is $34.41 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,159 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Wigwam. 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 Wigwam 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 Wigwam 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 Wigwam 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wigwam. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
