About: I have two daughters who love our cat and dog. Both pets are great with other animals. I have a fenced yard for dogs to run around and I am able to walk them as they may need. My dog, Draper, is a small breed and loves to hang out with the humans, but also loves to run around in the back. We have plenty of dog toys but feel free to bring any, also anything like a blanket to make your pet feel more at home. The same goes with treats. I will always ask before giving any pet our food or treat. Your pet will be right at home and will not be treated any different from our own. Anything you would like to know just ask.

The weekends we go on hikes, your pup will come along if that is ok with you, during the week I can walk mornings and evenings. I have a fenced yard, which allows for dogs to have a safe place to play and let some energy out. They will have Draper (dog host) who loves to chase around the backyard.

About: Hello! I am new to pet care (outside my home) but have had multiple dogs of my own for 13+ years! I have watched pets for family members and friends when needed. I currently have 2 dogs of my own that love to lounge around inside and chase squirrels outside every chance they get. I travel a decent amount with my family so I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust to care for your animals while you are busy or gone from the home. Whether it’s feeding, going for walks, playing or letting them out for a potty break, I would love a chance to help you with your fur babies. I work Part-Time in healthcare but should be available most Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. I have worked in healthcare for 15 years and currently working Part-Time. My schedule is relatively flexible (with enough heads up) to help you with your long weekend getaways or short-term needs. I am happy to come to your home in the Colorado Springs area to play with your dogs, take them on a walk or let them out to go potty.
About: I have provided consistent dog sitting services throughout 2023, working with repeat clients and building reliable routines with the pets in my care. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies under one year old and senior dogs, as well as both large and small breeds. I have experience caring for cats. I also have experience caring for: hedgehogs, reptiles, horses, chickens, and ducks. In addition to pet care, I regularly handle house sitting responsibilities such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and maintaining a clean, secure home. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and respectful of both your pets’ needs and your home. I am currently working part time - three days a week - but am still able to dog-sit during those parts of the week as well. Fridays-Mondays I can be present most of the day and will only be gone 4 hours at a time. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I adjust care based on each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and can provide updates as requested. Just a quick heads-up! For privacy reasons, I’m only able to accept bookings in homes without indoor cameras. Thank you for understanding and respecting this boundary!
About: I bring over 4+ years of experience providing professional, attentive care for dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. Whether your companion is a high-energy pup needing extra exercise, a senior dog requiring gentle support, or a reactive dog needing a calm, structured environment, I am equipped to handle their specific needs with patience and expertise. Safety is the foundation of my service; I prioritize secure handling and clear communication to ensure every walk or sitting session is stress-free. I am committed to maintaining your dog’s routine while providing the engagement or quiet comfort they need to feel their best while you are away. I take pride in my ability to read canine body language and adjust my approach to keep both your pet and myself safe at all times. If you are looking for a reliable partner to support your dog’s unique personality, I am ready to provide the consistent, high-quality care they deserve. I currently have complete open availability on both weekdays and weekends. I am willing/looking to take on reoccurring clients who I can provide care for whenever needed. No matter the service being provided, your pets safety will always be my priority. On walks I will ensure that your dogs have their gear on (whether that’s leash and collar or harness and leash) properly and securely before leaving your home and I will never let them out of my sight. I will never take your pets anywhere outside of your home without your knowledge or consent.
About: I've been around animals my whole life. Growing up, my family had golden retrievers, a lab/malamute mix, five cats, and even horses and goats, so I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. In my adult life, I've owned, trained and cared for a bloodhound/coonhound mix as well as our current Australian/German Shepherd. Feeding, litter boxes, medications, and daily routines are second nature. Our Australian/German shepherd mix is super anxious, which has helped me to be a patient caretaker who knows how to read a nervous pet and build trust slowly. I'm also experienced with basic obedience and giving medications. I'm active and love being outdoors, so dogs get whatever suits them best: neighborhood walks, trail hikes, runs, playtime, light training sessions, or a lazy day on the couch. I skip dog parks because they can be unpredictable. You can expect prompt, proactive communication and regular photo updates, so you never have to wonder how things are going. I work remotely. During a house sit I'm at your home for most of the day and can let your dog out, walk them, and keep them company throughout. I may have a couple of hours of family commitments some mornings, and I'll always tell you upfront and plan around your pet's needs. I'm available for holidays and longer stays and can usually adjust my schedule with one to three days of notice. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks in your home and neighborhood, and I follow your rules, whatever they are. Before any stay, I'd like a meet and greet so your pet and I can get comfortable and so I can learn their routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any triggers. Dog walks are always on a secure leash, and I keep gates, doors, and windows closed so there are no prison breaks. I'll respect your household rules on furniture, crates, and where your pets sleep. Your home is treated with care, and I won't bring guests, my own dog, or my kids. I have a local vet and I'll follow your emergency plan if anything comes up. If anything seems off, I'll contact you right away. I take aggressive dogs on a case-by-case basis after talking with you first and meeting him or her to see if there's a fit.

About: Caring for dogs is something that comes naturally to me because of how much I genuinely love them. My experience comes from caring for my own dogs, and I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive, patient and eager to learn each dog’s routine so I can give them the best care possible. I’m comfortable with all breeds, temperaments and sizes. Your fur baby will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own! I recently moved to Colorado Springs and am currently between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m basically available 24/7 and can take last minute requests. I take their safety and comfort seriously, follow care instructions closely, and always keep pet parents updated. I also prefer to arrange a meet and greet before booking whenever possible. Every dog has their own personality, and I want to give them time to get comfortable with me, especially if they’re a little apprehensive around new people.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Black Forest is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,697 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Black Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Black Forest with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
