About: Backed by 20 years of dedicated experience, I've managed multi dog households (up to four), cared for 13 cows, and maintained a large flock of 30 chickens and ducks. Unique skills include chick/duckling hatching, advanced reptile breeding, and complex fish tank maintenance. Pet care is my full time job right now, my schedule is completely open, allowing me to dedicate my entire day to your pet's needs, including frequent walks, playtime, and custom feeding schedules. I offer maximum flexibility. I provide all services exclusively within the client’s home, the pet’s safest, most familiar environment. This ensures minimal stress and maintains established routines. Trust is built through detailed intake, consistent updates, and respecting your home as I would my own.
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life, and it’s truly a passion. I spent five years volunteering at an animal shelter, gaining valuable hands-on experience—from training playful puppies to gently caring for senior dogs. As a wildlife biologist and care giver, I also have a deep love and understanding of animals of all kinds. At home, I have two energetic Australian Shepherds and a cat who can all vouch for my dedication and care! I also take professional animal photos! If you’re interested in a shoot let me know. :) Kindness, friendliness, and respectful communication are at the heart of how I work with every client. I currently babysit part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility! Staying active is a big part of my lifestyle, and daily walks are a must—having some sweet pups join me just makes it that much better! Your fur babies safety is my #1 priority, whatever guidelines you’d like me to stick to, i am happy to follow. Plenty of potty breaks, playtime, cuddles and exercise is guaranteed!
“Mitch took great care of Jeff and Xochitl again. We knew they were completely safe with him and he sent us pictures of them. We are so happy when he stays with them!”
“Sarah was a great choice to stay at our home with our two giant livestock guard dogs. They were very comfortable and well cared for. She was also great with us; responsive, professional, communicative and respectful. I would use her services again anytime.”
“Danielle was absolutely beyond amazing! Our dogs can be a little bit of a handful and she did incredible with them, they loved her! She took incredible care of the house and even watered all the plants and cleaned everything before she left, genuinely couldn't ask for anything more. I would recommend her to anyone, one of the best rovers I've ever used :)”
“Taylor sent us photos of every feeding and walk to keep us updated. He stayed with the pups until we landed back in Denver, even with a flight delay. He left the house clean, too. Would recommend!”
About: I have been in the pet care business for 6 years and look forward to keeping your pet safe and happy in your home while you are away. I love animals. I currently have a border collie, her name is Bailey. My reason for house sitting is to provide families with a sense of knowing that their animal will be loved and cared for while they are away from home in their own familiar environment. I spend most of my time outside working in the yard and playing with my dog. I will provide feeding, walking, bathing, medicine administration, playing and plenty of love to your pet in the comfort of their your home. Quality care will never be an issue. I look forward to making friends with your beloved pet. This is a new endeavor for me as my previous Rover care was in my home in North Glenn. I enjoyed that so much. I wanted to continue with caring for dogs in this way. I am currently located in Lakewood Green Mountain area and look forward to meeting you and your pet. Please be sure to check out my reviews and also photos from my prior pet sitting. Bailey loves to play frisbee and we spend several hours a day playing in my back yard. My back yard is the perfect place for pets. It is super shady and large enough for running and playing. I have several parks near by and a back yard that will provide plenty of exercise. I love to cuddle fur babies that like to be cuddled. We spend a large part of our day outside playing and throwing frisbees and balls.
“Michael sent lots of pictures and kept in communication while I was gone which kept me at ease. Holden had a good time with Michael while I was gone and took great care of my house.”
“Brittany was amazing with our dog Pepper. He is a super shy dog, but even so, he grew to love her in his short time with her. She took him on frequent walks and she sent us great pictures. I could tell he was happy, healthy, and properly cared for. I will absolutely use her in the future!”
About: I decided long ago I'll never live without a dog in my life. I'll treat your dogs as my own while they are in my care. Sadly, my two big dogs passed away this past year and we miss them terribly. I take special care of senior dogs, giving them extra love. I've also been teaching those close to me how to train dogs. There's no reason to gate keep that knowledge. So not only can I train your dogs, but I can also teach you everything I know. We begin our day with cuddles and stretches. I work from home and enjoy a half acre, fenced in back yard in Lakewood. We walk the neighborhood, as well as Crown Hill and Sloans Lake. My day care rate covers a standard daytime stay (8 hr). For significantly longer stays, I may adjust the booking total based on the hours needed. I have a small home with a huge yard. My little dog lost her two big brothers this past year and we're looking forward to hosting your dog/s to come play and cuddle. She's a typical little dog who barks at you ~~ then cuddles you.
About: *Im having an hard time changing our official names on the app; but we were three and are now just two! After a bit of a hiatus, where we got married, went on an extended honeymoon and moved to a new space in Denver. Wild times! We are back in action! Between the two of us we have 8 years of experience watching mainly cats and dogs, both in our own homes and housesitting. We’ve lived in a van, housesitting around the country and are able to deal with most things that come up; living on the road made us adaptable and flexible! We’re comfortable with dogs of most temperaments. While we have less hands-on experience with reactive dogs, we’re more than happy to care for them for a few days if you provide all the necessary tools (muzzles, bark collars, etc). We do have a smaller space than our previous few years in Denver, so we can’t accommodate biggies. Our space is a home in Barnum area with a front & backyard, which are not fully enclosed with fencing. We’re also steps from Weir Gulch aka lots of greenery and city trails along the Platte. I (Viki) work from home, so I’m rarely away from any pets more than 4 hours and D works in solar, so he’s out early most summer days and around much more in the off season. It would be a pleasure to connect with you and care for your pet(s). The pet can fit into our weekly routing easily as Viki works from home. Viki can go on up to 3 daily walks or one long one, we can take the dogs to the park on weekends and in evenings. We have a great backyard for ample outdoor time, I go on walks throughout the day and we can adhere to your usual schedule. There’s always someone home and if not, the animals wouldn’t be left on their own beyond five hours.
“Audrey was excellent! Very attentive to our dogs and their needs and made sure they had everything they needed. Kept our home very clean and ensured we had pictures of our animals daily. We will absolutely be using her services the next time we go out of town!”
About: I believe that our fur babies are family, and should be treated as such. The love of an animal is the purest form of love there is, and they should always be cherished. I’ve recently lost my soul mate, love of my life, my Rottie boy Tank. He was taken from me on 9/19. I’m heartbroken, devastated and grieving, and would love nothing more than to poor all of this love that I have into your fur baby. It would truly heal this hole I have inside of my heart. I’ve Rovered in the past, have had many animals, and am very comfortable administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues. As my boy Tank had many.❤️🩹 If you’re looking for a genuine and caring person to love your baby while you’re gone, please send me a message. You’ve found the right person. I currently work full time, but very close to my home. I’m able to leave work if needed through out the day for a break and stop by to check on your baby, and will smother them with love as soon as I get return. I have a large fenced in yard if you’re comfortable bringing your baby to my home, along with two parks within walking distance that I would love to take them to. The care needed is all about your preferences, but love and affection will always be guaranteed.
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent to both cats and dogs for over 10 years and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I regularly helped neighbors care for their pets, giving me experience with different animals and personalities. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’d relish the opportunity to provide your pets with the same care and affection I give my own! I’m currently in between jobs so have an open schedule! Whether it’s just a walk or an extended stay, I’m ready and available to provide excellent care for your pet! I believe every pet deserves a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I take the time to understand their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, fresh food and water, and playtime. I strive to keep their routines consistent and provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family members are in good hands. My goal is to make every pet feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away!
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for many years. Friends, colleagues and family rely on me to feed, walk, and bathe their fur babies. I’m working part time as a garden teacher during the day in Boulder, and have most afternoons and evenings off to care for your animals. As a teacher, I follow the rules of the house and the schedule provided to me. I love caring for and interacting with children and animals.
“Jaci was super reliable and great at communicating! She sent messages and pictures every day to let us know our doggies were safe and happy. When we got home, our pups are usually super stressed and refuse to leave our sides, but this time they were definitely relaxed and thought it was just another day. Highly recommend - will book her again!”
“Kathryn was so great with Frank! She spent the whole day with him and made sure to send lots of photo updates. She was also flexible with our schedule. We came home to a happy and sleepy pup!”
About: I have experience walking dogs up to 200lbs and cats up to 20lbs. I love touching up on basic manners while walking, and always clean up after us! I like reptiles and caged animals, though I don’t have much experience with birds. Happy to provide pics, walks, and pet/brush sessions. My weekday mornings are usually errands, with wide open afternoons. I can do small check ins on weekends, if needed. Ideally, I can help during 8am-3pm. I am respectful of your privacy, and will only interact with the pets and necessary rooms. I can stay for up to 30m at a time for pets/brushes or cleaning up waste
About: I grew up with all kinds of dogs and have raised several large breed dogs myself. It currently isn’t the right time for me to welcome a new dog into my life full time but I miss having the company. I’m currently working from home so I have lots of flexibility for cuddles, walks and potty breaks. I’m also a runner and happy to take any high energy dogs out for a tour. I do not have a backyard but am close to parks where we can walk. I have space for a dog bed or crate if needed. My neighborhood is dog friendly.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Will-O-The-Wisp
Morgan was excellent. She was so compassionate with our menagerie (3 dogs 2 cats). Our senior pup needed frequent night-time potty breaks, which she accommodated without complaint. It is clear she knows dog behavior and took the time to introduce our pack to her Dicé to ensure safety and a good fit. Morgan even bought Christmas presents for everyone!! I couldn't be happier or feel more confident in the safety of our animals and home under her care. Highly recommend!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Will-O-The-Wisp is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $58 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 Will-O-The-Wisp 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 Will-O-The-Wisp 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 Will-O-The-Wisp 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Will-O-The-Wisp. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
