Petme · Denver house sitting
House sitters in Denver, your pet stays home
A vetted Denver sitter stays overnight in your home from LoHi to Wash Park. Altitude-aware walks, winter-ready, ski-weekend cover. $22,000 Protection Plan, 0% owner fee.
Denver house sitting fits the city's ski-weekend rhythm and its active, dog-heavy households. A verified Petme sitter stays in your home while you head to the mountains, keeps your dog on their normal Cherry Creek Trail or Wash Park route, manages thin-air fatigue on warm days, and rinses ice-melt off paws after a winter walk. Especially valuable for senior dogs that do better in their own space than in a boarding transfer over an icy I-70 weekend.

What’s included
What a Denver house-sitting booking includes
Sitter stays overnight in your home
They sleep at your place, keep the heat on through a cold snap, and walk your dog on the usual Cherry Creek Trail, Wash Park, or Sloan Lake loop.
Daily photo + video updates
Sent in-chat from the booking. Many sitters add a clip from the morning Wash Park or Cherry Creek walk.
Mail, plants, package management
Standard. Mention smart-lock codes, garage access, and any altitude or hydration notes in your booking notes.
$22,000 Protection Plan + 24/7 support
Covers emergency care at the Veterinary Referral Center of Colorado, Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital, and every licensed Denver-area clinic. Subject to the Protection Plan terms.
Why Denver
Why house sitting works in Denver specifically
Ski-weekend travel up I-70 means frequent 2-to-4 night windows when boarding capacity binds. A house sitter who stays in your home keeps an altitude-sensitive or senior dog on familiar ground instead of riding to a kennel through a snowstorm. Active Denver owners value a sitter who keeps the daily trail routine going rather than parking the dog in a run.
Neighborhood coverage

Why Petme in Denver
0% fee. Cashback. $22,000 Protection Plan. Same sitter, every time.
The dog-sitter market has been Rover's and Wag's for a decade. Petme rebuilt the economics around the pet owner. Denver owners on Petme pay less per booking, get more protection, and earn cashback on every stay. Sitters keep more of the rate, which is why they show up.
0% service fee for pet owners
Rover, Wag, and Care.com layer a service fee on top of the sitter's rate at checkout, and their exact fees are published on their own sites and can change. Petme layers 0%. You pay only the rate the sitter sets, so a 5-night booking costs exactly five nights.
Protection Plan for eligible vet costs
Owners can get up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs if something happens during the stay. Petme coordinates with the Denver clinic from inside the app.
Cashback on every booking, automatic
When a booking completes, cashback on every booking lands in your Petme balance instantly. Use it toward the next booking, no expiry, no minimum. Rakuten-style economics applied to your pet's second home.
Verified, background-checked sitters
Every Petme Denver sitter passes identity verification with a government ID plus a background check before going live. Reviews are open and unfiltered. Same-sitter rebooking is one tap, not a matchmaking dice roll.
The cashback maths
What a 5-night booking in Denver actually costs
Worked example at the Denver median nightly rate ($105 per night). The sitter sets the same rate either way; the difference is what each platform stacks on top.
| Line item | Petme | Fee-charging platforms |
|---|---|---|
| Sitter rate (5 × $105) | $525 | $525 |
| Pet-owner service fee | $0 | ~$55 |
| Cashback earned | −$16 | n/a |
| Effective cost | $509 | $580 |
The right-hand column is a typical owner-side service fee on platforms that charge one on top of the sitter rate (Rover, Wag and Care.com publish their current fees on their own sites). $22,000 Protection Plan is included in the Petme price; other platforms set their own cover and caps.
