“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!”

About: I'm experienced with pets of different ages, sizes and personalities-from playful, high-energy dogs to independent or shy cats. I take the time to learn each pet's routine and preferences so they can feel as relaxed as possible in their own environment. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to give pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I have a flexible schedule and am currently available most days and times with advanced notice. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of needs, including drop-in visits, walks and extended care. I am reliable and punctual. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a secure, calm environment where pets can feel at home while in my care. I have a large, fenced yard that allows for safe outdoor play and exercise. As a dog owner myself, I'm experienced in handling and caring for larger breeds and understand the importance of supervision, structure, and positive interactions. I currently have a friendly 5-year-old male German Shepherd who is well-socialized and gentle with other dogs. I also occasionally care for my daughter's Pomsky, so I'm comfortable managing dogs with different energy levels and personalities.
About: My experience with animals has been all my life and 3 years ago I did Rover with my mom. She taught me to not just watch animals but to create a calm, safe, and engaging environment for them. I’m also very communicative I make sure owners feel connected and reassured with regular updates, photos, and honest check-ins. I take that trust seriously and aim to make both pets and owners feel at ease I work from home so I’m able to be with them all day and my house is located by trails and parks for a short or long walk I have a fenced in backyard and 3 levels with gate on each level. Plenty of space but also gates to block off a level if pets need their own space
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 😊 I’m Maru & Mori’s dog mom 🐶🐶 I used to spend every day with my two dachshunds — one is a 15-year-old senior pup, and the other is a rescue baby who came from an abusive environment. They’re currently staying in Korea for a while, and I realized how much I miss the simple everyday moments with dogs — going on walks, hanging out together at home, taking naps next to each other, and just sharing the day 😊 So I wanted to start pet sitting not in a “professional service” kind of way, but more because I genuinely enjoy being around animals and spending meaningful time with them 🫶 For pets who spend long hours alone waiting for their humans to come home, I’d love for them to have a fun, comforting day with a new friend instead of feeling lonely all day :) I work freelance from home, so I’m usually home most of the day and can give pets plenty of attention and company. ✔️ Puppies welcome ✔️ Senior dogs welcome ✔️ Shy or anxious pets welcome ✔️ Cats welcome too 🐱 And currently, there are no other pets in my home, so it’s also a good fit for pets who prefer calm, one-on-one attention 😊 🐾 Daycare 🐾 Pet sitting visits 🐾 Boarding at my place 🐾 Walks & playtime 🐾 Photo/video updates 📸 Honestly, I just miss having furry little companions around and would love to spend time with pets the same way I did with Maru & Mori — with warmth, patience, and lots of love 🤍 Feel free to message me anytime 😊🐾 Self employed, and work from home. Very flexible time and availability to care for your dogs. Close proximity to multiple parks downtown and safe walking and bike trails. Able to come to your house as well for dog care! I've lived with two dachshunds in Seoul for 15 years. They recieved two to three walks a day by the Han river and lots of attention indoors during the day. I take care of oets like they are oart of my family
“Dylan is amazing. I used him for months for drop ins while my puppy was growing up. He was an excellent communicator and is extremely professional. I will be using Dylan’s services again in the future.”

“Every time I’m away I trust Megan to look after my pups. I have two senior dogs and it can be stressful leaving them but Megan makes it easy. It was a bit chaotic getting out of town and she was such a help. Thank you, Megan! :)”
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.
About: What sets me apart is the personalized, attentive care I provide for every pet. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs, and I treat them like family while they’re in my care. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to details, and I’m happy to follow specific feeding, medication, exercise, training, and care instructions to make sure every pet feels safe, and comfortable I’m available to care for your pets any time after 5 PM, Monday through Thursday, and I’m available anytime from Friday through Sunday. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide your pets with the care and attention they deserve. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, and patience. I currently have a dog of my own, Reyna, who is a sweet Pitbull mix, as well as two chickens. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.
“Josh did a great job with our cat, Twitch! Twitch can be a bit stubborn and bratty and Josh used different successful techniques to entice him out for his insulin injections. Josh is very sweet and takes his responsibilities seriously, which we greatly appreciated. Your animal will be in good hands with Josh!”

“Patricia was a very thoughtful, kind, and caring person to watch our fur babies. Overall, great experience working with her and we will continue to use her on future trips. From one fur baby owner to another, you won't go wrong hiring her. ☺️”

“Kayleen was extremely communicative with me for my whole trip and kept my cat safe and happy for 5 days. Played with my cat and scooped litter every day during drop in visits. Will definitely book again!”

“Olivia was absolutely wonderful, especially for helping me on such short notice! She kept me updated throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind, and Max absolutely loved her. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with 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: Raised around dogs of all sizes and breeds, including St. Bernards, Great Pyrenees, German Shepherds, Goldendoodles, and small breeds. I also have some cat experience and currently have a Pomsky of my own! House sitting and dog sitting for family and friends by word of mouth! Oooo I also fostered for about a year! I work full time, but I work three 12 hour shifts each week, which gives me plenty of flexibility and days off to care for your pets! I want to keep your pet’s routine and schedule as consistent as possible. Let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll be upfront if I’m unable to accommodate it. Your pet’s comfort and well being come first!
“Sarah did such a great job caring for Ramona over the holidays! She provided great updates, sent lots of pictures, and followed all instructions! Would love to book Sarah again soon!”

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.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I currently have two dogs, both of whom have been professionally trained, which has given me valuable knowledge of positive reinforcement, leash manners, and handling dogs with different personalities and energy levels. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have experience looking after friends' and family members' pets while they are away. This has included feeding, walking, playtime, providing companionship, and following each pet's individual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I also have experience walking dogs and understand the importance of keeping them engaged, exercised, and safe on every walk. Whether your pet enjoys an active outing or a slower-paced stroll, I'll tailor their care to their individual needs. I'll treat every pet as if they were my own, providing them with patience, attention, and plenty of love. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. Daily walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention fit naturally into my routine. I'm available on both weekdays and weekends and can accommodate a variety of schedules. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so making sure pets get the exercise, care, and companionship they need is something I genuinely enjoy. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent, personalized care. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll make sure they have plenty of exercise, playtime, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of love and attention. I always use secure leashes and harnesses during walks, closely supervise pets, and create a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable. I have two friendly, professionally trained dogs, so I understand the importance of positive reinforcement, patience, and respecting each dog's individual needs. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Tommi is amazing! She came for a meet and greet with our pups and they loved her. My reactive dog lets her in the house and greets her. She even cleaned up the mess my puppy made. Highly recommend Tommi for anyone who wants to know their dog is being well taken care of.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced pet caregiver with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. For 6 years, I managed a professional dog boarding facility, where I gained extensive experience with everything from daily care and enrichment to handling different temperaments and special needs. I’ve also worked in a veterinary clinic, giving me additional knowledge and comfort when it comes to recognizing health concerns and providing attentive care. I now work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to offer plenty of time, attention, and availability for your pets’ needs. Whether your pup needs walks, companionship, medication support, extra patience, or simply someone who understands them, I’m happy to help. My own 12-year-old rescue pup recently crossed the rainbow bridge. He was a reactive dog, and he taught me the importance of meeting dogs where they are, building trust, and creating a safe environment for every personality type. I have a genuine appreciation for dogs who need a little extra understanding and am comfortable working with pets who may be shy, anxious, reactive, or have other special needs. I do have a friendly cat and a younger child in my home, so for dogs who are reactive and unable to comfortably be around them, I kindly ask that services take place in your home where your pet can feel safest and most relaxed. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets and providing the same care, patience, and love I would want for my own. My flexible work-from-home schedule allows me to tailor my care around your pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog thrives on frequent walks, needs extra potty breaks, requires medication reminders, benefits from a slower pace, or simply needs more one-on-one attention, I have the availability to provide consistent and reliable care. Because I work from home, I’m able to be present throughout the day rather than fitting pets into a busy schedule. I understand that every pet has their own routine, comfort level, and personality, and I’m happy to adjust my approach to help them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. From energetic pups who need enrichment and activity to senior pets who need patience and a little extra support, my schedule gives me the flexibility to provide the kind of personalized attention each pet deserves. My approach to caring for animals is centered around patience, trust, and treating every pet as an individual. I believe animals communicate in their own ways, and it’s important to take the time to understand their personality, comfort level, and needs rather than expecting every pet to fit the same mold. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets feel respected and cared for. Whether that means a long walk, extra playtime, quiet companionship, a slower introduction, or simply sticking to their familiar routine, I adjust my care to what makes each animal happiest and most comfortable. My experience has taught me that the best caregivers are observant, patient, and willing to meet pets where they are. I take pride in building trust with animals and providing the same level of care, attention, and compassion that I would want someone to give my own pets.

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!

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 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.
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 Fort Carson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
