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!
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our newly sick cat. Our cat was diagnosed with gastroenteritis a week prior to us leaving on a long trip. Kaitlyn followed instructions diligently and administered all her meds which for our cat is quite the challenge. She’s great! Definitely recommend!”
About: I've been around cats my entire life! I've helped raised litters and even have 2 boys myself! I hope to one day work with cats professionally one day and I thought this would be good way to get myself out there Monday through Fridays I will been in school till 12 am. I have a part-time job with it but with a mostly fixed schedule. My cats are not allowed outside and I have both of them chipped, I do yearly vaccine appointments with my main vet. I've installed cats shelves and multiple cat tree for them also. I've also trained one to be harness trained( my other is to anxious of loud noise to be walked currently. )
About: Every dog I meet is my new best friend, and I truly mean that! Whether I’m out for a walk, at a gathering, or preparing to care for a pup, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s pets, including a beagle, two Great Danes, and several collies. I’ve also pet-sat for friends with golden retrievers, huskies, and more. Whether your dog needs playtime, a long walk, or just some extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy and loved while you’re away! I am a freelance musician and teacher in the Colorado Springs area. My flexible hours allow me to focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m also available at all times of the day, though my schedule varies from week to week—feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to work out a time that fits your needs! I understand how important routine is for pets, and I am dedicated to keeping them on a schedule that feels familiar and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or bedtime, I do my best to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and ensures your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! My name is Santi and I love animals of all kinds. Growing up, I always had pets - dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, guinea pigs, pretty much every rodent - you name it. I loved animals then and still love them now! My mom trains dogs so I’ve learned quite a bit from her about dog behavior and best training practices. From growing up around pets, I know they all have their own quirks and specific language, and their care must be tailored to them. I am excited to learn from them and you about how to love and care for them best :) I work from home two days a week, with most of my free time in the evenings, though I am a mental health therapist so my schedule can vary day to day. I often have time in the middle of the day to check on pets. Pet safety and comfort is a priority. If there is anything specific they need to feel safe and be safe, please let me know! I’ll make sure to respect your pet’s boundaries, and go slowly and calmly as co-regulation can be a huge part of keeping pets calm. I’m careful about things laying around they could get into, as well as making sure doors are closed/locked. Let me know what to watch out for!
About: Hi, I'm Heather! I absolutely love animals of all kinds! I currently have three dogs of my own, and if my husband would let me, I’d probably have a whole house full of them. 😂 My current pups are all Boston Terriers, but I’ve had experience with many different breeds over the years, including a Mastiff/Pit Bull mix, Husky/German Shepherd mix, Border Collie, and Blue Heelers. I love that every dog has their own unique personality, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them. I have experience caring for both young, energetic dogs and seniors who need a little extra help. I’m comfortable giving medications, changing diapers, and helping older dogs with mobility issues—including helping them get outside safely for bathroom breaks. I already regularly watch my dad’s and friends’ dogs when they go out of town because they know I’ll treat their pets like they’re part of my own family. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pets with someone, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re getting lots of love, attention, and care while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, or someone to stay with them while you’re out of town, I’d love to help. ❤️ I promise to love your pets like they’re my own! 🐶🐾 I’m currently working on phasing out of a full time position but I work a split shift so I either get off at 5 or go in at noon. Soon I will be available around the clock. I have a fully fenced front and back yard and my house has a doggy door so they can always access the outside for a potty break. My house is my dogs house. They can be on the couch or bed I have no issues w them doing whatever to be comfortable.
“Arianna sent photos daily, but ended up being unavailable one of the days I had her booked for and I was informed 45 minutes after the drop-in time, day of. Luckily, my partner was in town and able to stop by to care for my cats, albeit later than they are normally fed.”
About: I have experience with managing care for multiple pets in one job. Including dogs, cats, fish and reptiles. I had one job where I took care of two black labs, two Irish wolfhounds, three cats a saltwater fish tank and at one point, I also managed fostering litters of kittens for that pet owner. I am reliable, consistent and communicative. I have a friendly, respectful dog. He gets fed twice a day, and regular walks and time in our yard. We like to invite friends dogs to our house to socialize, and have play time! My husband can also take care of our pet if I am needed for longer pet sitting jobs. Plenty of cuddles are had! I value routine. I follow direction and am very thorough. I am an animal lover! Regardless of the animal. I’ve even watched my friends spider for them!
About: I have newly received my Bachelor’s degree in Canine Training and Management at SUNY Cobleskill. My husband is a soldier at Fort Carson so I can easily get on base. The classes I have have taken covered basic training, walking, reading body language, and basic care/matinence. I have both experience working at a Doggie daycares and a grooming facility. I just completed my internship at Ridgeside K9 in Nashville TN, there I worked with a variety of breeds ranging in different sizes and temperaments. I just moved to Colorado Springs so my schedule is free for the first time in four years. I just moved to the area and need something to do with ny new found free time. I typically start my days around 9 a.m. and am up pretty late at night. I am currently renting and taking care of my three dogs so I am unable to house pets. I keep a strick schedule for feeding and giving medications often using lists to keep everything on track. My husband is able to take care of the dogs if I need to be away for any reason.
About: Hi there! I'm Raye. I have two dogs of my own, and grew up with dogs & cats in my household. I currently run my own pet photography business, and I also volunteer with humane societies :) I'm comfortable handling all sizes and personalities of dogs. Depending on what your dog enjoys, we can go for an adventure or simply enjoy a quiet stroll around the block. I am comfortable handling dogs that have reactive tendencies, and if there's any training you would like me to work on while I'm with your pup, just let me know! I run my own business, so my schedule is flexible. Because I have two dogs of my own, I am currently focusing on dog walks and drop in visits :) If you need anything done in your home when I come by for a walk or drop-in, just let me know! I am happy to fill water bowls and food as needed, or leave your pup with a treat to play with until you get home.
“Sarah is outstanding! We have so much gratitude for her care, attention, and empathy for our senior cat. She went above and beyond with her communication and obvious commitment to care. She stayed in our home and I think she left it better than she found it. By far THE BEST in her approach and professionalism.”

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , 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 .

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.
