“Our cat adored chris! Followed instructions and kept our cat company while we were away for the week. Will be requesting again in the future!”
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: I come from a family of animals lovers. I began pet sitting for a licensed pet sitting company when I was 17 years old and then moved into the veterinary field full-time. I have experience in emergency clinics and wellness clinics, so I'm comfortable administering medication for older or ill animals if needed. I have some experience with exotics and small animals (rodents specifically) and I’m happy to follow care instructions for species that are new to me! I work full time, five days a week. My pet care schedule would be morning/evening drop ins around my work hours and overnight stays. I have two very spoiled cats at home and two mice that I love. For clients, I am happy to stop in and spend time with your kiddos and make sure everyone is doing well! I tend to be a homebody, so I am also glad to come spend a few evenings reading or playing on my computer while making sure your fur babies aren't alone and have someone to cuddle with!
“Dylan did an awesome job taking care of my cat, Ziggy. Super knowledgeable about cats and great communication. Couldn’t recommend Dylan more!”
“Tara did a wonderful job watching our pups! We were able to enjoy our time away because she kept us updated and at ease through the whole process. We will definitely be booking Tara again if she’s available!”
“Samantha was absolutely amazing. Kept me updated checked in on my babies 3x for me. Sent pictures, you can tell how much they love her. Will 100% use her again and again”
About: I have had a variety of pets my whole life ranging from guinea pigs, parakeets, goats and chickens. I have been caring for friends and family pets since the age of 12 including dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles. I love all animals. Your pet's comfort, happiness, and safety are my top priorities. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and will always keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently available for daytime dog walks and drop-in visits on Mondays, Thursdays, and select weekends. I also welcome boarding in my home for pets that are friendly with children and other pets. I offer overnight house sitting as well, and if a stay falls on days I have my child, he would accompany me. He's gentle, respectful of animals, and has grown up around pets. I'll always communicate with you ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable and that it's the perfect fit for both you and your furry family member. I have a large fenced back yard and a medium sized dog of my own who is very friendly. I also have chickens and two cats who are not friendly towards other cats but friendly with other pets. I do have a dog crate in my house if needed.
“Devin is amazing. It’s the second time she’s taken care of my cat. She sends detailed updates and pictures that make it easier to be away. She goes out of her way to learn what my cat likes and how she likes to play. You couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Courtney took such great care of my 3 month old kittens when I had to be away for a few days! She spent so much time playing with them, making sure they were good, and even trimmed their nails. Truly above and beyond: her care for animals is so deep, she loves each and every pet as her own (even if one of them doesn’t really like her LOL). With her vet tech experience I felt confident with her in my home in case she needed to intervene and perform any sort of emergency medical task or simply getting something out of their mouths. Will be booking Courtney again in the future when the need arises! Very easy to work with and flexible with scheduling.”
About: Hello! We're Shalee and Gabriel, a nomad couple who just bought a camper and are traveling around the country. We are skydivers so we typically will be staying near drop zones in different states. We're currently near Colorado Springs. I've been taking care of dogs for around 14 years. I work from home and my husband works part time so there is always someone home. I have one dog of my own, an Aussie named Liebe who is 11years old. We're so excited to meet you and your pups! I work from home so I'm able to provide lots of attention and day time walks. I'm also available to watch your pet overnight if needed. I can care for your pup in my own home or yours. We can make a plan depending on your pet. Some prefer to just chill and others more active.
“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!”
“Abigail was so professional and a delight! Daisy loved her, and Abigail went above and beyond giving her attention. She also checked in and provided pictures. I’m so grateful!”
“Highly reccomended. To start, we practically have a micro farm, dog cat 2 rabbits and 4 chickens. Cherokee treated our home with respect, It's cleaner than we left it. She treated our pets like they were her own. When we came back there were no puddles or piles on the floor which has happened with other sitters in the past. We will certainly be requesting her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
“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 used to worked at a doggy daycare so I am confident in reading dog behavior. Also, I have had pets my whole life, but in the past year and a half I have been pursuing a career with animals, of all kind! I’m currently in school to be a Vet Assistant and am currently Pet CPR and First Aide Certified. I have watched pets for at least 3 years prior, working independently. I am reliable, and will love and care for your pets like they are my own! They will get lots of lovings! I am currently in school online to be a Veterinary Assistant! My schedule is very flexible, since my class is online! Afternoons would be more suitable, but I am also available in the mornings and evenings. In my home, I have a fenced in yard with an energetic 5 month old puppy for your fur babies to play with. I would keep my cat behind a closed door, so your fur baby would not have any interaction with my cat. I have a variety of toys for the pups to play with! I also have a crate, if needed. And of course, they will have proper food and water! In your home, I would treat your pets as if they were my own! They would get proper food and water! Would be let out to go potty and, of course, get lots of pets! We would play with toys, and if you had any brain games, I would do those with your pets. I can also administer medication, if needed. Anything you need me to do for your pets, I will do to the BEST of my ability!
“Always arrives on time, provides a ton of cute photos of Freya, and is prompt with any communications. Dina has been a lifesaver with my little girl over the past few weeks!”
About: I have had dogs ever since I was a little girl. I enjoy taking care and spending time with all dogs. I consider them family. I currently work full time and have time in the evenings and weekends. This is for stopping by to feed, water and let your furry friend out to run. If you have a fenced yard I can let your pet out or take them for a walk if a fenced yard is not the case.

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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Carson stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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. 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 .
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.
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.

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.
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.
