“Megan was great! She followed all my directions and I had no worries coming home and knowing my cats had been well cared for. I will certainly hire her again.”
About: I’ve been walking dogs for a few years now and have experience in dog sitting as well! If you have any questions you can ask at any time I work full time but am available Every day in the afternoons and some mornings, I love walking dogs in my free time! On weekends I am 100% free for all things pets I’m excited to get to work. I always make sure every animal is fed and cared for, playing with them or even just being in the area whenever needed. Growing up I always had pets around the house so when it comes to pet care I know what can happen.
“We had such a great experience with Lauren! This was our first time ever leaving our dog with anyone other than immediate family, so we were definitely a little nervous going into it! She made the whole experience so easy and reassuring by being incredibly communicative, reliable, and attentive. She went above and beyond with everything that she did! Long walks, sticking around in the evening so Harley would eat, and even remembered that our dog loves to wear pajamas to sleep. It was clear that Harley was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely love to have her watch our dog again!”
“Angela was consistent with her punctuality and communication. She went above and beyond to make sure my dog was comfortable when I was out of town. Angela was great with routines and ensured my pet was well taken care of.”
“My cat is normally very shy- but he loved Cedar! She was thorough, communicative, friendly and did everything I had asked. Great experience all around. I will definitely be using her again!”
“We had a great experience with Kirsten watching our pets over the holidays. She took care of our cat, reptiles, and our bird, and we felt really comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Kirsten was easy to communicate with and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. When we got home, our cat was relaxed and our all the other pets were doing well and everything in the house was just as we left it.”
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. )
“Josh was timely, friendly, and able to coax my shy rescue outside for potty breaks. He was willing to come by the evening before we left, on late notice, to meet and get acquainted with our dogs. Don’t hesitate to pick Josh if you need reliable service from Rover.”
About: A loving home away from home for your beloved pet! Conveniently located in Cheyenne Meadows area of Colorado Springs near Ft. Carson just minutes from the I-25 fwy and 115. Fully fenced backyard and pet-friendly rooms inside the home. I have lots of experience with many breeds of puppies and dogs, as well as disabled and senior dogs. Since I work from home and my schedule is very flexible, I'm able to give furry friends lots of care and attention. My dogs get along well with other dogs of all sizes and varieties. If you choose, I can keep you updated on how your pet is doing and send pics. I will help make your time away as worry-free as can be while your pooch enjoys this pet's paradise! Pet care is my daily priority! I'm primarily retired, but when I work, it's from home so I can give my two pups and any guest pets lots of attention and love. My home is very pet friendly. For guest pets, it's like a visit to granny's house. It's safe and fun. I'm happy to discipline as instructed by the owners and with positivity and lots of love. I have a fully fenced backyard. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds.
“Rachelle is amazing! I cannot thank her enough. My two boys can be wild and she was so attentive and kind. Her problem solving when they act like gremlins was so helpful. Calmed my anxiety about leaving my boys ten folds!”
“Dylan was an absolute delight! He made best friends with our boy Bootsy and we could not be happier with the attention and care our sweet boy received. Dylan was very respectful of our home and was an excellent communicator everyday. We’ll definitely be rebooking his services! Thank you, Dylan!!”
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: I grew up in a family full of animal lovers. We had cats, dogs, birds, rats, guinea pigs and even horses. When I was a kid I wanted to be veterinarian, but I ended up becoming a software engineer instead. Working remote grants me the freedom to put my love for animals to good use as your on-call back up pet parent. After getting a dog of my own, I realized how important it is to have back-up pet care available for when life gets busy. Travel, work, vacations or whatever else you may not be able to bring your furry friend along for, it's my honor to provide peace of mind while you are away. Don't be afraid to ask me for customization or modifications to your booking. I am more than happy to tailor time frame, price, responsibilities and expectations to exactly what you need for your pup. No request is too difficult. I will do my best to accommodate! Be communicative and explicit about the needs of you and your animals. We'll figure it out! I work a 9-5 Monday-Friday as a software engineer. Outside of meetings I have lots of flexibility to accommodate you and your schedule. I'll work with you 1:1 to figure out exactly what booking details work best for you and your pet(s)! (Additional services such as house cleaning, animal grooming or off-hours visits may include a small up-charge, but I am more than happy to provide these services as I am able) I do not board or care for animals in my own home, as I have 2 pets of my own and my home is their sanctuary :) Just as your home is your animals sanctuary, where they likely feel most comfortable, I think this is the best option for all involved. I've interacted with many animals of all temperaments. I prefer slow introductions, and allowing your pet to get comfortable with me at their own pace.
“this is our second time booking Sarah and she went above and beyond! i trust her with our boys 1000%! one of our cats had a medical emergency and she alerted me as soon as possible, and even took him to the ER for us. it’s so reassuring having a sitter who cares so deeply for animals and who is willing to take time out of their day to take him to the clinic, sit there with him, and bring him back home. i don’t know what i would’ve done without her! Sarah has my business for life!! 🩷🩷🩷”
“Talon was amazing. We had another pup sitter schedule but they backed out a week before our vacation. Talon stepped in and was perfect, sent us photos and updates daily, and kept our house safe and locked up just like we asked. Definitely going to reach out again the next time we need. Thank you Talon!”
“Kayleen was the ultimate professional - I felt totally comfortable leaving my cats with her to look after them. She came with a clipboard and info sheet to the home tour and checked in regularly throughout my trip. One kitty was sick and she cleaned that up and keep me posted as to the situation, and after we got home she checked in to see how he was doing. I'm definitely booking Kayleen again the next time we travel!”
About: I’m an animal lover, and care taker by heart. I have a passion for caring for animals and children! I have 6 years of experience caring for all breeds of dogs, from tiny chihuahuas to extra large cane corsos, and singing huskies. I have experience administering medicine and special diets (Insulin, pills, seizure medicines, supplements, oils, injections, hand feeding food, home making food). I have experience with all ages of dogs from puppies up to seniors, and am happy to accommodate to their individual needs. Dogs are not my only specialty, I have experience caring for cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, rats, and fish. I am a quick learner, and am willing to help with anything around the house that you may need while you are away. It fills my heart to be able to help out, and to build relationships and friendships with people. I’m a military spouse with two babies, any chance I can to make friends (both human and animal) I’d love to take it! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! I work part time from 8am-11am or 4pm-7pm during the weekdays. I also care for my 2 babies, and take them along with me. They stay at home with my husband while he is home from work (he is army). I try to get out of the house as much as possible during the week! Send me a message and I’ll fit it in! On Friday nights, Saturdays & Sundays I am available all day and night for all types of care. I ensure your home is well taken care of! I am more than happy to clean up any messes, and to keep valuables out of reach, and safe from potential accidents. I will follow all instructions given, and provide love and care of your home and pets as if it were my own. I value honesty and transparency over anything else.

About: With 27 years of pet sitting under my belt, I’m practically a pet whisperer! Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or making sure your fur babies feel right at home, I’m here to give them the VIP treatment. You can relax knowing your pets are in loving, experienced hands! I absolutely adore animals, but since we travel to China for a couple of months each year to visit family, I can’t have a pet of my own. Lucky for your furry friends, that means we get to spoil them just like my own! As a stay-at-home parent, pet care is a natural part of my day, so they’ll get tons of love, playtime, and attention. Your pets will feel like part of the family while you’re away, and you can rest easy knowing they’re in great hands! Since I don’t have pets of my own, your furry companion will receive my full, undivided attention. They’ll be treated like family, with the freedom to roam the house and explore at their own pace. Whether it’s playtime in the backyard or cozying up inside, I’ll ensure they’re always supervised and safe. Your pet will have a blast with all the love, care, and personal attention they deserve, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

Megan has been so great! Had pet sitters fall through but thankfully for her, we were still able to go on our trip and know our pets were taken care of. She is always on time and I love the pictures and updates she gives while we’re gone. Would completely recommend her and plan to rebook her in the future. Thank you, Megan for taking such great care of my fur babies.
Second time booking with Abigail, she’s always taking care of my babies 🐶 very few people I trust with them and she is always so excited to see them. Mind you, they’re super hyper and bark yet she finds her way around making friends with them! Peacefully went out of town knowing they were taken care of.
Andrew is an amazing pet sitter! He was so good and comfortable with our dogs, they loved him 😁 Andrew is friendly, professional, and very competent with dogs. We have a very big puppy and a timid rescue and they responded so well to him. We highly recommend Andrew and will definitely be using him whenever we need a sitter!

Before booking, confirm:

- 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 Fort Carson 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.

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 .
