About: I have lived in a household with 5 dog for the past decade and have a lot of experience taking care of a big lot. I am very in tune with pet care. I have also taken care of a foster cat when a couple years ago. I hardly meet a pet that does not like me, and I am willing to adapt to any schedule to make sure your pet gets the best car. I am looking for any kind of jobs up until October 22th! I live in the Cordera area but am willing to drive, I am familiar with most of COS. I am fully flexible as I am currently home until I leave the state for my masters program. I can work any hours at anytime the owner/pet needs. Willing to work around almost anything, The only issues that will arise will be appointments that I may have, but usually they only take about an hour out of my day. If interested I will share my calendar with the owner. My house is fenced so I do not have much experience with open yards, but am willing to learn how to properly care of any pet. My current household has a dog that must be separated from 3 others, therefore I have no issue working with pets that need to have separate schedules. I ensure that I will do my best to make sure your pets are taken care of and that their natural flow and schedule is not interrupted.
About: I’ve been around animals since I was a kid! My family grew up with dogs, and once I was on my own I adopted a cat. Seeing pets while on walks makes my day. Im an extremely caring person that loves to go the extra mile for your fur babies! I’m currently unemployed to focus on my health, but am looking for something to bring meaning to my life. I have a few appointments every week, but plenty of free time to check on your pet! I always ensure that the pet’s environment is clean and there is plenty of food and water available. When with your pet I would give them as much attention as they’d like by playing or petting. I’d always make sure to lock up your home when leaving to make sure the fur babies are secure!

“Our first experience with Rover couldn't have been better and it's all thanks to Dezarae! We really appreciated the updates and pictures every time she checked on our turtle & elderly cat while we were on vacation. They both seem to warm up to Dezarae quickly and we'd highly recommend using her to pet/house sit! We'll definitely be asking her to come back whenever we leave town from now on!”
“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was clear and precise. He punctuality was awesome. She even altered her visit time to better facilitate our fur babies. Plenty of pictures and awesomely detailed updates. I cannot recommend her enough for your pet sitter needs.”
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals—-dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs etc. I’m a very detail oriented person and I love when an owner gives me as much detail as possible in order to take the best care of their baby ☺️ I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds, all sizes and dogs with different needs (helping a dog thru a weight loss journey, anxious shy dogs, dogs that require medication etc). I love animals more than I love people and it shows! Anytime I meet someone’s pet, they’re always drawn to me and I feel very honored by that! I’m extremely patient and calm with animals because I have had my own pets who had special needs. I’m currently new to the Colorado Springs area and doing gig work, so I can be available to check on your pets anytime throughout the day! I treat a clients home with the utmost respect and only go where authorized or use only what the client tells me to for their pet! I’m very attentive to pets’ safety and I will treat your baby with the love and respect that I treat my own with ☺️
“Wow!! Cameron went above and beyond for a last minute need for watching our animals! He sent videos and was so caring with our animals. It is my first time using Rover and I was so impressed!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. I grew up surrounded by animals, from bunnies and guinea pigs to horses and dogs, which taught me early on how different personalities and needs can be. For the past 14 years, I’ve been dog sitting both small and large breeds, building hands-on experience with everything from high-energy pups to calmer, senior dogs. I also have my own nine year old mini Maltese, Simba, who is deeply loved and well cared for, and has only strengthened my understanding of daily dog care, routines, and emotional needs. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly life. I’m a freelance filmmaker, fitness trainer, and yoga instructor, so my schedule is flexible and movement-based. Walks, outdoor time, and structured routines are already part of my day, making it easy to incorporate dog walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so caring for dogs feels like a natural extension of my lifestyle rather than a side task. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, whether that’s in my home or the client’s home. This includes feeding schedules, walks, exercise, play, rest, and any specific instructions you provide. I keep environments clean, calm, and organized, and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, hikes, or to dog parks if that’s something you prefer, or keep things low-key with shorter walks and companionship. My focus is always on attentive, loving, and responsible care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs.
“Savanna is amazing! We have 4 animals and she met with us before our trip to give us peace of mind and she worked with us when our flights got changed and we needed to come back at a different time. All the while she sent pictures and updates of our animals. I highly recommend her!”
About: I am a pet parent of an 8 year old Boston Terrier, a re-homed Chihuahua, a 3 years old kitty and a new kitten. Previously I raised three other Boston Terriers from puppyhood until each of their passing and a cat with FIV. I am experienced with puppies & kittens, adult dogs & cats, and senior pets as well as pets with illnesses. I have had kitty training as well as dog handling training through the Denver Dumb Friends League. I believe pets are family members and are to be treated with love and respect. Wheather your pet is at my house or I am at yours, you'll never have to worry about their well-being and will always know your pet is safe. This is my promise to you!
About: I've had dogs and cats usually both at the same time as my children were growing up. Since early 70's. I loved them and they seem to like me ok. The last dog I had was a Border Collie rescue that I adopted in Omaha 2017 she was found in Louisiana. Her and I moved to Colorado in 2020. She was very sweet and also loved other animals in the building where we lived including cats. Sadly, she passed 2024. We could communicate just with body language and looking into each other's eyes as I spoke to her. I still interact with all the dogs in the building when I see them. We would also go on hikes up at Palmer Park on the off-leash dog trail. Made a lot of friends with dogs there as well. I now live with my children and their 3 cats. They are very sweet also. Lots of cuddle time. Our pets just need love and attention and know that we care. So, I do tend to spoil them while abiding by the rules. I do have obligations a couple of times a week during the day. I'm usually gone about 2-3 hours when that happens. Evening meetings twice a month for couple of hours. I will do errands and help friends out from time to time. However, when I am scheduled to take care of a pet I work my schedule around them. Thursday mornings are the only day I cannot reschedule but I'm only gone for 2-3 hours average. Take the dogs for walks if client wishes / allows. Pay attention to cats and dogs so they don't feel alone. Stick to the routine the clients have set for them. Also change cats litter boxes when needed.
“Maria was a pleasure to work with! She was great with our dogs and they loved having her come visit! We received videos and photos of the boys during her visits which was SO nice! Overall experience - 10/10. Thank you, Maria!”
“It's extremely rare for me to trust anyone with my dog but Kara was a breath of fresh air. She handled my TPLO recovering girl with the most love and care.”
“Alayna was so sweet and great with my pup! She even went the extra mile to ensure he had the care he needed! I’m so grateful for her and would recommend her to my closest family and friends!”
“Whitney is so amazing and good with dogs! She watched my anxious rescue pup and my pup was so calm she even went to sleep! Furthermore, Whitney is so friendly and respectful, will recommend her to all the pawrents I know!??”

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Black Forest 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!
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 .
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.
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 .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
