House sitting. Denver Metro.
Your pet stays home. A professional moves in.
A vetted sitter stays overnight in your home, so your pet keeps its own bed, its own yard, and its own routine. No travel, no strange house, no stress. Just familiar surroundings and a trusted sitter there every night.
$155 per night for dogs, $110 for cats
The least disruptive way to leave town.
For some pets, the best place to stay is the one they already know. A sitter we have vetted stays in your home overnight, caring for your pet right where it is most comfortable. Your pet sleeps in its own bed. It eats in its own kitchen. It barely notices you are gone. Need someone there during the day too? Live-in, Live-in Plus, and 24-hour care keep a sitter in your home for longer stretches.
Built for pets that do best at home.
This is for the cat who hides for a week anywhere new. The senior who is set in their ways. The multi-pet household that is far easier to keep together than to split up. And the anxious dog that needs its own space and its own smells to feel safe. If your pet travels badly, house sitting solves it. Keep them home.
What every stay includes.
- An overnight sitter who keeps your pet's exact routine.
- Feeding, walks, play, and medication on schedule.
- Photos and an update every day.
- Your home watched, mail and lights handled.
- A vetted, insured, background-checked professional. Every time.
Your pet and your home, both looked after.
A sitter in your home is also a presence in your home. Lights go on and off. Packages come inside. The place looks lived in, not empty and waiting. You come back to a calm pet and a house exactly how you left it. Tell us what to keep an eye on and we will.
Need an expert? Add specialized care.
If your pet needs medication or a closer eye, request a vet-tech-trained sitter for the stay. They know the warning signs and act fast.

Visits or house sitting?
Visits work when your pet is fine on its own between check-ins. House sitting works when your pet needs someone there overnight, or gets anxious alone. Not sure? We'll tell you straight in the consultation.

You're reading thisCommon questions about house sitting.
- Does the sitter stay the whole time?
- It depends on the service. An overnight sitter arrives about 7pm and leaves about 7am, and daytime is not included. A live-in sitter stays for the whole booking, with set limits on time away. With 24-hour care, your pet is never alone.
- Will you care for more than one pet?
- Yes. House sitting is ideal for multi-pet homes since everyone stays together.
- Do you handle mail, plants, and the like?
- Yes. Tell us what needs watching and it is part of the stay.
- Can you give medication?
- Yes. For real medical needs, ask about specialized care.
- Is the sitter background-checked?
- Always. Every sitter is vetted, insured, and background-checked before they ever set foot in your home.
- How is Sterling different from a pet-sitting app?
- On an app, you choose from a list of strangers, and if something goes wrong you are mostly on your own. We vet every sitter ourselves, meet you over video before the first booking, and stand behind every visit and stay. We are insured and bonded, and if a sitter cannot make it, we have backup.
- What happens if my sitter gets sick or can't make it?
- We have backup, so your pet's care never hangs on one person. If your sitter cannot make it, we arrange another vetted sitter and let you know right away.
- What if my pet doesn't take to the sitter?
- Tell us. We match sitters to your pet's temperament as much as to your schedule, and if it isn't the right fit, we will match you with someone else for your next booking.
