About: I have hands-on experience working with dogs in both training and care environments, including assisting with board-and-train programs under a professional trainer. This work gave me exposure to structured obedience training, leash handling, and managing dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I have also worked with higher-drive dogs, including bitesport and working-line dogs, where clear communication, calm handling, and consistency are essential. This experience taught me how important structure, patience, and reading a dog’s body language are in building trust and maintaining safety. In addition to training environments, I have experience with everyday dog care such as walking, feeding, basic obedience reinforcement, and maintaining routines that help dogs feel secure and balanced while their owners are away. My focus is always on keeping dogs safe, comfortable, and understood while providing owners with reliable, attentive care. Pet care is a priority in my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to take on morning, midday, and evening visits as needed. I plan my days around bookings so I can be consistent, reliable, and fully present for each pet in my care. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine while in their home environment. I follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and care preferences. For drop-ins, I ensure pets are cared for, have fresh water, bathroom breaks, and attention before leaving. For walks, I focus on safe leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and adjusting the walk to the dog’s needs and energy level. I treat every home with respect and understand the importance of trust when caring for someone’s pet.
“Chris communicated very well and made sure to keep us in the loop when taking care of our dogs. Very nice and kind person as well, as he took the courtesy to clean up our apartment afterwards, and that’s very generous of him. I would recommend him to anyone I know”
“Emily did a great job in her drop in visit with our dog. We received pictures and information about how he was doing. She followed all of our instructions. Thanks Emily!”
“Brianne is very attentive, caring, and flexible. We had a wonderful experience with her and our pets loved her! We will absolutely re-book with her in the future. Thank you for everything!”
“Bethany and Nathan did an excellent job checking in on my animals while we were away. This was the first time I had left them alone so I was nervous, but my mind was set at ease as soon as I met Bethany. You can tell she really loves animals. I would definitely recommend them for pet sitting services and if I go anywhere else in the future, I would definitely book with them again.”
“Cara was great with my 2 cats. She checked in daily, left good daily reports and photos. When I returned the cats were happy and well taken care of.”
“Thank you for always being willing to go out of your way to meet my pets first and go over instructions in person! It helps reassure me my babies are in good hands!”
“Ryli was so wonderful taking care of our cat! She sent updates and pictures each visit and was so attentive to his needs. We were very nervous leaving him for the first time, but Ryli was able to care for him perfectly and ease our minds. I will definitely be using her the next time we need a cat sitter! Thank you so much Ryli! ❤️”
“Austin and Ani are the most professional sitters I have had yet! I love the numerous and helpful notes and pics they do every day. I appreciate the consistency in their use of the training I am doing with my pup. Would highly recommend :) ”
“Sarah is awesome! She was very helpful when I had a change of plans and adjusted the visits through Rover accordingly, she was excellent with my cats. She kept me informed throughout my vacation on how my cats were doing. 10/10 service!”
“Miranda is the best pet sitter we've had to date. Super helpful and communicative and went above and beyond for us when we went out of state on vacation for two weeks. We got lots of cute photos of our cats and plenty of updates :)”
“Sydney is amazing with our pups! Makes sure that both of their needs are met and gives them lots of love. They pics she sends are great, both dogs look super happy that she’s there!”
About: Hi! My family has always had a dog so I can’t even imagine life without one. I have taken care of my neighbors and friends dogs for around 12 years so you can rely on me and my experience. I have also volunteered at a Humane Society and have learned the importance of treating each dog with respect and kindness. I’m working full-time but I enjoy walking and taking care of animals. I would be glad to take care of your pets while you’re away on vacation or if you just need someone to drop in on occasion. I will not be able to care for your pet in my house due to my roommate having some pets that don’t react well to outsiders but I can guarantee security and respect when it comes to your home. I understand wanting to take care of your pet without the worry of a bad pet sitter. If you have any questions or weird asks don’t be afraid to reach out!
“Leilani was great with Gauge! Playing with him for drop in visits and making sure he was fed and given fresh water. Gauge awaited her arrival daily😊 Thank you for taking such great care of Gauge!!”
“Ysa was amazing with my Kitty. It's a very nerve racking thing to leave your baby home and give a stranger access to your home when you're not there, but Ysa was great. I felt comfortable with her and she took great care of my Rose. It really shows that she cares for animals and finds joy being around them. I will definitely be requesting Ysa again :)”
About: I have been working with dogs since I was 10 years old and started 4-H, I have shown dogs trained them and worked with animals my entire life. I worked for a breeder and helped care for a litter of 6 from birth to 8 weeks. Caring for animals is important to me and I want to create trusting relationships with my clients so they know their pet is in the best hands as I know I only wanted the same for my own pups. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Because I create my own work hours, I’m able to plan my days around pet care and give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s regular walks, check-ins, or overnight care, I enjoy building pet care into my routine and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets in my client’s home by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while their owners are away. I prioritize feeding schedules, walks, playtime, exercise, medication instructions, and plenty of attention and companionship. I also treat every home respectfully and provide regular updates so pet parents can feel confident knowing their pets are being cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine compassion.
“Victoria was fantastic with our super senior cat. She was very punctual and truly won my cat over and we were delighted to spend time with her. We highly recommend her.”
“Ashlyn is very reliable and communicative. She took great care of our two cats and sent lot’s of pictures while my wife and I were away on a trip. I highly recommend her services and will definitely ask her to watch our pets again in the future.”
“Jennifer checked in on my cat during an extended vacation. She provided lots of pictures of the loving she provided my cat as well as making sure food/water/and litter box were good. Definitely would use her again in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Colorado Springs
Brianne was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, asked thoughtful questions, and made sure she understood our routine and our puppy’s needs. Our 6-month-old Bernese Mountain Dog is full of energy, so it gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such capable hands. We hope to book Brianne again soon
Brianna gave the best care to my sweet Dale while I work overnights! I loved the pictures and updates of her visit. She offered great insight to adjusting to overnight shift work with a puppy! It’s very clear she has vast animal care experience. Thank you for caring for my boy, would happily book again 🤗
Katheryn is literally the best. She is sooooo good with my dogs (3) and you can tell genuinely cares about the pets she sits for. She is communicative, organized and dependable. Literally the best dog sitter in all of Colorado. I absolutely recommend her to anyone is the Colorado Springs area. THE BEST!!!
This is the first time we've left our dog at home when taking a trip so I was concerned Sadie wouldn't react well. Ann is amazing. Sadie seemed to love her and enjoy her walks. Received a picture every day. Came home to a happy dog. Would definitely use Ann again. Couldn't ask for a better experience for Sadie and myself.
Maria was amazing with our 3 dogs! Our regular sitters they have grown accustomed to over the years were not available and while our dogs are friendly, they have their specific quirks and needs. Maria adapted to them with ease and provided everything they needed while we were gone. It was a great relief to have someone we could trust and rely on providing such attentive care! Not only this, but she also picked up their poop from the yard every day and threw it out, left the house tidy, and collected the mound of packages we accrued over the week we were gone. Thank you so much, Maria!
Summer took such great care of Penny during her drop-in visits last week! 🐾 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Penny was happy, well cared for, and clearly got lots of love and attention. Summer also went above and beyond by bringing in a few deliveries for us, which we really appreciated! We’re so grateful and would absolutely trust Summer with Penny again anytime. Highly recommend! 💛

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Colorado Springs stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Colorado Springs 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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 Colorado Springs with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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 sitter.
