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 ☺️
“Kathy is so genuine and sweet! You can easily tell she loves dogs and she connected with our 2 boys instantly! We have a lazy giant Goldendoodle and energetic Bernadoodle and she adapted to both energy levels and their style to be pet and loved. Thank you Kathy!”
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!
“Stephanie has been reliable, a great communicator, and our dog loves her! She gives him plenty of water breaks on their walks together. I’m so happy we have found her! I recommend her to anyone who needs a kind person to help out with their pets.”
“Rose is awesome! She has truly been a blessing to help with my dogs while am at work. She is courteous and professional. She is also very kind and display thoughtful consideration for the need of my dogs. I am truly grateful that she accepted my request to care for my dogs!!”
“Savanna took my dogs out during a pretty hot part of the day, at my request. The dogs feet were getting hot so she stopped the walk and just played with them inside. Great insight and care on her part.”
“Sarah and Patrick are great!! They have made me feel so comfortable about leaving my dog home during the day because I know he’s going to get a nice long walk! They truly treat my sweet pup like he’s their own😊”
“We’ve used Vivian multiple times and she’s been great every time. Tobie loves his walks with her and always comes home happy. We really appreciate her consistency and care!”
“In addition to being a valued member of our little household, Cameron always goes above and beyond! He communicates well, shows up on time, and our furries love him. A+”
About: With 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I have had the privilege of caring for animals of all shapes, sizes, personalities, and medical needs. I’ve also provided pet-sitting services for veterinary clients in the past, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pets. At home, I’m lucky enough to have 3 dogs and 2 cats of my own, so caring for animals is a huge part of my everyday life! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply some companionship while you’re away, I’m comfortable providing attentive and compassionate care. My veterinary background has taught me to pay close attention to the little things—changes in behavior, appetite, energy, and overall wellbeing—so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced hands. I treat every animal as an individual and strive to make their time with me as comfortable, safe, and enjoyable as possible. Your pets aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own. ❤️🐾 I'm currently a stay at home mom so Ill have plenty of time to play with your babies. I am available during the week and on most weekends. I am able to kennel pets easily and administer medications as needed. I also have experience in emergency situations and can provide CPR if necessary.
About: Hi! My name is Dani, and I’m currently a graduate student looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love — caring for animals. I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and since high school I’ve volunteered at animal shelters helping care for dogs and cats of all personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets, and I always treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, sticking to routines, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away, I truly put care and attention into every visit. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and experienced with animals that are shy, energetic, anxious, or need a little extra love. As a grad student, I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to your pets and give them the care they deserve. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! As a graduate student completing my degree online, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time and attention to your pets throughout the day. I also go to the gym daily for about an hour and a half, which fits easily into my routine while still allowing plenty of availability for walks, playtime, feeding schedules, drop-ins, and overnight care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I love being able to spend my time with pets while also earning extra income during grad school. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I always follow routines carefully, pay close attention to behavior and surroundings, and make responsible decisions to keep everyone safe — including your pets, your home, and myself. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, anxious, or needs extra patience, I provide attentive and compassionate care at all times.
About: I have previously volunteered with a county SPCA organization taking dogs out for car rides and walks. And giving cats the love they needed during a very unsettled time for them. In homes, I have cared for up to 3 dogs (each about 100 pounds) and cats at a time, dropping in two or three times a day when the owners were away for work or vacations. I would refill food and water, play with the animals, and let them out for toilet breaks/ clean the litter box, and water plants. I have had dogs for about 10 years, and I have dog/cat sat on and off while going to school for just as long. I have also aced Rover's Safety Quiz for recognizing behaviors and keeping your animal safe. I work part-time leaving ample time to do pop-ins and walks. I'm available: Mon-Thurs: before 8:45am and after 1pm Fri and Sat: before 8:45am and after 6:30pm Sun: All day I prefer to meet you and your animals first, so that we can establish trust and go over any specifics for your fur baby. Taking care of animals in their usual environment allows them not to stray from routine and gives them a sense of ease. For added peace of mind. When I am caring for your animals, I will not be caring for anyone else's. You can rest easy knowing that when we are on a walk I am only walking your fur babies.

“Lexi has been a tremendous help! I am unable to take my dog on walks due to an injury and she’s been taking him out and about for me! He loves his walks I’m so glad she’s can get him out of the house when I can’t! My dog loves it!”
“Amazing! I cannot thank Courtney enough for taking such good care of both of our animals. I will definitely use her again if we ever go out of town. Made our trip so much more fun knowing we didn’t have to worry about our girls getting good love and care. Cannot recommend enough!”
About: Growing up we had parrots, cats, dogs, an entire aquarium and a farm! My family and kids absolutely love animals. We’re a very active family that enjoys outdoors and playing in our fenced yard! I’m a stay-at-home mom, which gives me a flexible schedule. I’m generally available during my little one’s nap time from 1 PM to 3 PM and I can coordinate other times with my husband, who works from home. We’re very flexible when possible and happy to discuss scheduling needs to find a time that works for everyone. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🐾 For doggy daycare and boarding, your pup can enjoy time with our two friendly dogs if they’re comfortable together, or they can be kept completely separated when needed. I stay downstairs with boarding and daycare pets in our furnished basement, which is separate from our main living areas and has direct access to our fenced backyard. If your dog needs to be separated from ours, please keep in mind that I’ll occasionally need to come upstairs for a few minutes throughout the day to prepare meals in the kitchen. So your pup should be comfortable being alone for short periods while I do that. For drop-in visits, I provide attentive, loving care in your home. Depending on the time and location of the visit, I may occasionally need to bring my young child along, but only if the environment is safe and appropriate. I’m always happy to discuss this beforehand to make sure your pet receives the care and attention they deserve. As stated above, my husband works from home full time so we can be flexible when possible if it’s not appropriate for my youngest child to tag along in the carrier.

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.
“Dezerae has been great walking my dogs. Even my normally fearful Chihuahua has taken to her kind spirit quickly, which is a feat in and of itself. Would recommend Dezerae to anyone!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Black Forest
Cassie has been an incredible dog walker for my service dog, Reina, on Mondays and Fridays. Her reliability, professionalism, and genuine love for animals have given me complete peace of mind knowing Reina was in such caring hands. Over the time she worked with us, Cassie built a wonderful bond with Reina and always went above and beyond to ensure she was happy, safe, and well cared for. Her kindness, patience, and dedication never went unnoticed. Reina and I are truly saddened to see Cassie leave, but we are so grateful for everything she has done for us. While we will miss her tremendously, we wish her nothing but success, happiness, and exciting new adventures in this next chapter of her life. Thank you, Cassie, for your outstanding care, friendship, and commitment. You have made a lasting impact on both of us, and we will always be grateful. ❤️🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Black Forest on Rover is $19.26 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,604 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Black Forest. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Black Forest. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Black Forest.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Black Forest. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
