About: What sets me apart is that caring for animals is genuinely something I love. I’m a proud pet parent to two dogs (3 & 4) and two cats (10 & 11), so I understand how much trust goes into having someone care for your pets! I’ve been dog and cat sitting for 7+ years. I started through Wag and eventually began caring for pets independently through repeat clients and word of mouth. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of personalities and love getting to know each pet’s unique quirks, routines, and needs. I’m an animal lover at heart, and I truly enjoy building a connection with every pet I meet :) - I’m that annoying person talking to animals In the baby voice! My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I work remotely, so I have a very flexible schedule! Let’s talk further and we can talk about what your pets needs will be :) I have a very large yard that is fully fenced. If needed there is always space to separate animals however, I plan to integrate them to have a nice time playing together if that’s what your sweet one allows!
“Sadie was amazing with my cats. She was always prompt for her drop in visits and took time time to try and work with my shy cats and communicated whenever she had questions. I would certainly use Sadie again in the future as I felt very at ease with her watching my cats.”

About: I have a degree in zoology focused on animal behavior! I have dog, cat, and exotic animal experience. I have taken & passed an Advanced Animal Training class and am very passionate about training using operant conditioning and positive reinforcement. I have trained animals of all ages and assisted with behavioral issues such as leash pulling, dog reactivity, and more! I’d love to help out with any training needs whether it be starting a puppy or crate training a cat! Let’s work together! I am currently working part-time so I am able to be flexible & accommodating to most schedules! I am also able to visit multiple times a days and so much more. I am well versed in animal behavior and creating a calm and inviting space for animals. I have learned to modify my own behavior and positions to make a more comfortable environment for animals. My home does not contain any materials, plants, or foods that can be toxic to animals.
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.
“Makayla just completed a drop-in visit for my cat while I’m out of town and she was fantastic. She showed up right on time, handled everything perfectly, and sent a great update with photos. Highly recommend!!”

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!

“Rebekah was great with our cat. We have a social cat and we worried about leaving her for a week. Rebekah eased that worry with great communication and pictures of our cat during her visits. She is caring and very understanding of animals. I would highly recommend her to other cat and dog owners.”

About: I'm a caring and responsible dog walker/sitter in the Pueblo, Colorado area. I have experience handling multiple breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have pets of my own so I understand the importance of keeping your fur baby in good hands! I am available daily throughout the week as often as services are needed. I provide care as early as 7am, even overnight and house sitting. I have a fenced from yard with 3 other fur babies and also a crate/6ft+ yard leashes. When I am in the comfort of your home I can adjust as needed!

About: For years, I've been taking care of not only my dog but others as well. Both of my babies are seniors. One is slowly going blind and the other is blind. So, I do have experience caring for the elders. But I will care for all ages! I would love to play and cuddle with yours! Currently, I am available 24/7 with some restrictions Wednesday - Saturday. While I search for a full-time position, I do several side gigs that will keep me away for a few hours throughout the day. Sometimes, it is broken up. Other times, it is one sitting. I usually do this Wednesday - Saturday. But I am flexible! I do as instructed. I've had clients that only wanted me to stop by throughout the day but stay the night and ones that preferred I stayed at the house most of the time. No backyard? That is okay! I love going on walks for potty breaks and play time. Whatever you instruct, I will follow.
About: I have had and cared for dogs as long as I can remember. They are a piece of my family and I pretty much treat them like humans.

I’d like to believe that I’m very good with training dogs and always have their best interest in mind! I ran a daycare from might home for 14 years as well so I’m very good with managing my time for kids and dogs! I do have a dog door that can be used at anytime as well! I work from home running my laundry delivery service so I will be home a lot to care for your babies! 🐾🦴🐶 I run a laundry service business from my home so I am always home. On the weekends we like to take the dogs for walks and to the dog park. We also spend a lot of time playing with my son and the dogs outside! Fetch is my son’s favorite thing to do…like nonstop 🤣. So expect a worn out pup! 🫶🏼 I have a large fenced in backyard. I also have 2 very friendly female dogs and a toddler that is amazing with all animals. I’m all for pets being anywhere humans can be unless instructed otherwise.

The house has a wrap around yard with plenty of space

About: I have 2 years experience working at a shelter where I was responsible for feeding, walking and maintaining the kennels. My husband and I have 2 large dogs whom we love and spoil. I am very responsible and hardworking. I am very new to the area and currently a stay at home dog mom. I have a very flexible schedule and my own car so I am available to be anywhere at anytime. I grew up in a military household and have carried that respect and integrity throughout my adulthood. I will follow any and all household instructions and make sure your pets are safe, taken care of and cuddled.

“Rachel is so sweet! She did a great job taking care of Alister for a drop on visit and sent photos 😊 she will be taking care of him over a long weekend and it feels good to know he will have care from someone warm and trustworthy. Totally recommend Rachel!”

About: I grew up on a ranch and have been caring for and been responsible for animals almost my entire life! Animals have always been a focal point in my life. I especially enjoy puppies and have an affinity for training. I have had multiple friends leave their puppies with me to potty train, and I’m always the friend people go to for animal advice! Your animals will be loved and cared for like my own while they’re with me. I am a stay at home mom with 2 animal loving toddlers, so I’m almost always available for care in my home. I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and engage with your pups! I have fully fenced back and front yards, and 2 friendly dogs for your pups to play with if they choose. I also have 2 different sized kennels that can accommodate your dogs if needed. I treat my own dogs and will treat yours like my children, and they are always welcome on the couch for cuddles. I have plenty of toys and activities for them, with an emphasis on mental stimulation. We of course also love playing outside and going on long walks! They’ll always be treated with love and compassion while in my care.
“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.”

“Lexie was incredible! Our elderly cat is very shy and runs away from most strangers. By the end of the week, she was asking Lexie for belly rubs! Lexie spent a lot of time with her each day, made sure she got all of her medication, and did an excellent job communicating with us the whole time. She even took care of my plants, including several trays of tomato and pepper starts, and everything was thriving when we came home. We will definitely be using Lexie again!”

About: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for cats, dogs, lizards, bunnies and more! When I could not locate a proper groomer for my shihtzu, I learned how cut my dog’s hair and clip his nails. When I owned cats, I did extensive research on diet to ensure they had all the nutrition they needed. I’m still fairly new to owning bunnies but I have learned a lot from vet visits and testimonials from other bun parents! I work two other jobs but I make my own schedule so I can fit late afternoon and nightly check ins, baths, walks, overnight sitting, and errands into my day if that’s what you’d like. I would love to spend as much time as I can making sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. I don’t want to break an animal’s routine so if you have your pet on a schedule/routine, diet, or regiment of some sort, I plan to stick to that.
“Victoria and Cole took great care of our pups! We loved receiving updates and pictures from each visit, especially since my older dog was not feeling great. We almost cancelled our trip but so glad we were able to travel and not worry about our dogs. We will definitely reach back out to Victoria and Cole for future trips and are so grateful for their help.”


About: Hey, my name is Stephanie and I’m here to make your pup feel like they’re part of my family! I have been around dogs my entire life. I grew up with labs so caring for and being with dogs comes as a second nature to me. I currently have a one year old energetic and fun loving husky. And if your dog allows it would love to have them get together and interact while I’m walking or dog sitting your sweet pup. Aside from caring for my own dogs I have volunteered at Charleston Animal Society and take the pups for walks or play with them outside in the fenced in yards. Dogs are truly a man's best friend and I've never met a dog I didn't like!
About: I’ve been into animals my whole life. I’ve had many dogs growing up, I have a big heart for animals. I worked at animal shelters and animal support groups for the past 2 years volunteering while in the military I’m currently transiting out the army, looking for something i fill my time while my husband works and we are new to the area. I will have plenty of time to love and entertain your dogs. I also offer boarding through the week. I have a fenced porch, a big dog park area fenced and a grass backyard unfenced.

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!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- 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.
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
