“Jamie was great! She took great care of our blind aging pup (and the home) while we were away for the weekend. So glad she was there to provide company!”
“This is our second time using Mario for dog sitting at our home with our two golden doodles. His communication and cleanliness just really makes him stand out! We plan and hope to use him every time we’re out of town for the peace of mind. Thanks again!”
“Hanui was incredible with our pup. She made sure that Maple was well taken care of, provided regular updates and genuinely seemed to enjoy hanging out with her. You can tell she truly loves being around dogs. We will for sure look to work with Hanui again in the future.”
“This was an amazing Rover! I was skeptical at first with the lack of reviews and newer profile but was absolutely wonderful. Will book again!”
“I would highly recommend Cassie for dog sitting. She was respectful of our home and left it neat and clean. Cassie checked in before leaving the last day. She was responsive to me while I was away. She sent pictures of my pups each day. When I got home my pups were happy. Thanks Cassie!”
“My experience with Kayleen is 6 stars; she is super considerate, timely, communicates well and loves what she does! I felt confident with her taking on overnights with my 2 pups, 19 year old kitty that requires extra care and a spunky 3 year old that pulled a disappearing act. Kayleen kept me informed all the time she was pet sitting and it's obvious she was born to care for pets - and people with whom she interacts with. Super clean too! She goes above and beyond the norm and cares - A LOT. I would never hesitate to hire her again in fact I already have.”
“Rycheigh was very responsive and great to work with. We had him house sit for us. He did a wonderful job, our pets were well taken care of and he left the house in great condition. I would highly recommend Rycheigh!”
“She was AMAZING!! So communicative, sent frequent updates, and was always so quick to respond. I’ll definitely book her again when out of town. I knew my dogs were in the best hands.”
“Sandra was an absolute gem. She sent sweet and attentive updates, was great with our doggies, and took adorable pictures for us. 10 out of 10, would recommend.”
About: With a Dog of my own, I know the responsibility off a pet, understanding of nigh time potties burning energy and loving on all aged dogs Im a college student away from my dog at home and looking to take your dogs on walks, take care of them and give them the love I’d give to my dog, I’m available 5 days of week! I have an unfenced yard belonging to my 3 year old mini golden doodle and 16 year old cat. I spend all summer going on walks with mine and my neighbors dog, throwing the ball, hiking swimming and daily meals.
About: I can never remember a time I haven’t had dogs in my life. whether it was my own, neighbors or distant relatives I have taken care of dogs in many instances. I am starting college where I will be a student athlete which will make it difficult to always help but on weekends and a few times during the week I can fit pet care into my schedule. I like to accommodate for the dog’s needs but also what the owner expects from my services. I want the dog to have fun and enjoy its exercise!
“Julia was amazing! Her communication was stellar and she sent me pictures of our dogs daily. I know our pups loved having her stay with them and they got great exercise. Julia also collected our mail, took out our trash and kept our house clean and tidy. We would recommend her and use her again for our next trip out of town.”
“Fantastic communication and seemed to really care about my dog. Erin also went above and beyond to stop back after a missed flight on my part. Truly one of the best Rover's I've ever worked with. Thank you, Erin!”
“Hannahmae did a wonderful job caring for our pets and home. She is very communicative and kind. You can tell she really has a heart for animals. I hope she can take care of our dogs in the future!”
“Paige did a great job watching my pets. My dog isnt the sweetest to everyone but she got her to warm up to her and my dog was calm the whole time we were gone. She followed all my instructions and was very responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Alison was a fantastic pet sitter! We have two big dogs and three cats that are used to having people around all the time, and she fit right into the mold and took excellent care of them - providing plenty of play time, exercise, and snuggles. Alison was super communicative and shared great updates and pictures, and she also took great care of our home while we were away. I would (and already have!) absolutely book Alison again in the future!”
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.

“Booked Keyona for a last minute trip and she was wonderful and very understanding. We sent updates and made it easy to focus on the trip without having to worry about my pets. I would definitely recommend and if the opportunity presented itself again, ill be booking with Keyona again.”
About: I’ve loved taking care of friends and families animals since I was a child, and have always felt honored when entrusted to do so. I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats in pill form and also eye drop medication, some minor experience in training dogs (would just need clarification on their command words), love giving them all the cuddles and scritches and pets they want, and helping them get out those zoomies! Whether your need is drop in check ins for food replenishment and company, outings like walks or dogs parks, or transportation to appointments, I can do it all! Dependable animal care is so important to be able to relax on vacation or to focus when taking care of important business, and I hope you choose me to make it easier for both you and your furry friends!! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time dedicated to your pets! My schedule is very flexible and I am willing to work with you for the times that suit you best! I know the importance of keeping a close eye on pets and keeping them on leash unless in the dedicated areas of the home and a fenced in yard! I will also have a plan of care in place in case of emergencies, with location on carriers and crates, and the emergency vet clinic of your choice! Your babies will be safe and cared for with me, and this plan ensures that I can get them emergency care should a medical emergency happen!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Carson
Ashton was wonderful with our dog Bailey while we were away. It’s always a great peace of mind when your pet is being cared for, she stayed at our house with our pup each night, when we returned our dog was a happy dog and our house looked just the way we left it. I would definitely recommend Ashton to anyone looking for a sitter!
I am very picky on who takes care of my dogs and I definitely recommend Adelina. She was great! She took amazing care of both of my dogs and made me feel very comfortable leaving them with her. She was reliable, sweet, and kept me updated throughout their stay. My dogs were happy and well taken care of when we got back. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her! 😊
Emily, I cannot thank you enough! Emily did an amazing job with my dog and cat when I went out of town. She is very trustworthy and I knew my pets and house were in good hands when I was away. My senior dog can be anxious and reactive, yet Emily took such good care of her that my dog had a great time with her new friend! My kitty has a much chiller demeanor, and they were also great together. Will for sure be hitting you up in the future Emily!

The average cost of House Sitting in Fort Carson is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $67 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fort Carson walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fort Carson maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
