“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog and house sitter. Kaedon took such thoughtful, attentive care of our boys. They were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Communication was effortless from start to finish. He was responsive, reliable, and kept us updated. We also came home to an incredibly clean, well kept house, which honestly felt like such a luxury after traveling. It’s clear he treats your home with the same level of respect and care as he does your animals. We would absolutely trust Kaedon again with our home and our pets, and recommend him without hesitation.”
“Salome was incredibly kind, gentle, and patient with my rescue dog and two cats. The doggie is a senior chihuahua with a rough background and she worked very well with him and his anxiety. She was respectful and did a great job house sitting while I was away. I'd highly recommend her for pet and house sitting!”
“Bre is amazing!! I've had some bad experiences in the past so I was incredibly nervous about hiring a new petsitter but Bre put me at ease right away and was super patient with me. She was extremely communicative and kept me updated on everything throughout my entire trip. My cats were all super comfortable with her, even my previously feral stray who is anxious around people she's not familiar with! They all seemed happy and comfortable in the pictures that Bre sent and they were all happy upon my return. Bre also left my apartment clean and tidy and even went above and beyond by taking out the trash and bringing in the mail. I highly recommend Bre and will be booking her again.”
“Alyissia did an amazing job. I will absolutely be using her services again in the future. She was super nice, patient with Bambi, reliable, responsive, and true to her word. I know Bambi was in good hands in Alyissias care. 10/10 would recommend and will be booking w hwr again!!”
“With Mario, I will never worry about traveling again. Great meet and greet, great communication with daily pictures. Returning home was a treat... Everything was very neat and tidy, prepped like a nice hotel room. The toilet tissue was folded to a point, and there was even a fresh fragrance throughout. And of course, the most important part, my pets were happy and relaxed and happy to see me. Will not hesitate to book with Mario again.”
“Cassie was absolutely amazing. When we go on our next trip out of town I would 100% use her again. My dog has diabetes and needed injections twice a day and she didn’t miss a beat.”
“It was our first time leaving our 3 girls with a dogsitter, but Andrea was SUPER accommodating. We met before booking and our girls immediately took a liking to her. They stayed with her for about 4 days, we got updates, pics, videos and details about their day. When we came back home our home was spotless, Andrea followed directions perfectly and our girls love her! Already booked more stays for the next 2 months. Thank you Andrea, we truly appreciate and trust you with our crazy high energy pups!”
“Peyten did a terrific job! Most importantly she took great care of my pup. She spent hours playing and walking her each day. She took great care of my home and gave constant updates. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Amazing we feel so comfortable leaving all our dogs with Samantha. She has a way with them, she’s so prepared, and they respect her as well. She goes above and beyond anything we could ever ask for.”
“Jamie did a great job dog sitting with our two older small dogs while we were away. They were well cared for and happy when we returned. She was very respectful of our house too. We would definitely schedule her again.”
“Absolutely love Brianne's love and care she gives to our pets. She takes the time to understand how we like things done and is highly responsive and sends lots of adorable updates.”
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.
“Maria did a great job watching our dog for five days! She kept us updated with messages and photos. Our dog has a couple special needs which she handled with care. Would highly recommend.”
“Edyn was great and my Bulldog loved her and her Cowbell. She did a wonderful job and is coming back tomorrow for a week. We are so happy with her warmth and care for our Bulldog and home. Thank you so much Edyn!! :)”
“Dora took great care of our two doodles while we were on vacation! We got pictures and updates everyday, and the house was well taken care of in our absence. Would recommend her to others!”
About: Graduated from Vet tech school and passed my national exam.

I feel comfortable and confident in my availability to access situations and react in the most appropriate manner, especially when it comes to emergencies. Your pets are safe in my care.
“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!”
“Victoria was amazing . We were gone for 7 days . Victoria was in constant contact with us by sending pics & videos of our pups. The pups really loved her and that gave us peace of mind to enjoy our time away. She was very respectful of the house and left it clean & tidy. We highly recommend and will use her services again!”
“I can’t recommend Kenedeigh enough. She said YES with very short notice. Was a great communicator, didn’t balk at how far she had to come, got here early, and was so sweet and kind. My boys instantly loved her! They’ve never been boarded and never had anyone but family watch them, but it was so nice to know they were loved and safe so we could go on an excursion.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Carson
Please read previous reviews I've posted about Ashton's caring for my two "kiddos" Winston and Gracie. More than anything, I trust, and have confidence, she will take care of my dogs, perhaps, "better than I do!" Dependable, on time, sends pictures, communicates issues etc. This last session as I was out of country for three weeks, one of my dogs became sick. Ashton handled the situation expeditiously, and resolved the issue in a timely fashion. Five Stars!
This was my first time having Haley care for Bruce, and I could not have asked for a better experience. From the moment she arrived, her kindness and compassion created an immediate sense of comfort in my home. As a first-time cat owner, I was initially nervous, but Haley quickly put my mind at ease by sending thoughtful updates and photos throughout her visit, ensuring I knew Bruce was happy and well cared for. I will absolutely be requesting her services again and highly recommend her to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fort Carson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fort Carson on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,223 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fort Carson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fort Carson. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
