“Andrea is just the sweetest caretaker. We have used her three times now and I can fully trust her with our furbabies! One of our dogs has a few medical issues, without going into a lot of detail these issues involve Andrea cleaning out our dog’s eyes quite frequently. She takes care of her eyes so well and gives her medicine when needed! I love the updates and pictures she sends me and I can tell by the pictures that our furbabies trust and adore her, too. Andrea is incredibly helpful around the house when needed (filling up our humidifier, unclogging a shower drain-thank you again for doing that, worrying about the dishes, and so much more) and we’re just so grateful for her. We took our chances on Andrea being new to Colorado and got so lucky!”
“Bre was excellent! She watched our girl on Christmas and took excellent care of her. Its nice to have someone take care of your pet like their own. Next time we're in town we will definitely use her again.”
“Mario was wonderful with my small dog. He is very thoughtful of the dog needs. I had never had someone I didn’t know stay in my house and he was a wonderful guest. Would definitely use him again.”
“This was our very first time using Rover and Rychiegh had excellent reviews. We booked him for house sitting for 2 nights and he was an AMAZING sitter! We got updates throughout the day, without asking, with photos and messages about how all the animals were doing. The house was excellent when we returned and the dogs were happy. My dogs usually won’t eat when they’re stressed and they were fed well! Rycheigh was extremely kind, respectful, and responsive. I recommend him to anyone using Rover and especially first time users who may be intimidated by using this service for the first time. Thank you Rycheigh. We will be reaching out to you 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!!”
“Hanui was an absolute wonder!! She was so caring and attentive to both my senior dog and cat. I felt very at ease having Hanui stay with my furbabies - there’s not many people I trust, but Hanui is one of them!! I highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Breanne took great care of our 2 dogs and they were very at ease with her. We will use her services again! She sent more photos than I take of the dogs, LOL!”
“Nicole is simply the best. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter than her. She’s dependable, reliable, and responsible. I know when Nicole is there I can fully relax on my trip because my puppies are in the best hands. My go-to sitter!! ✨✨”
“Came home to two happy pups. Jamie is great with our dogs (one a puppy) despite them being a little difficult when together. She updates us with pictures, communicates clearly, and is respectful of our house. Thank you, Jamie!”
“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.”
“Bronwyn was absolutely fantastic in every way. She was very responsible, sent plenty of updates, and took care of my pup as I would. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
“Talon was a great dog and cat sitter for us for an overnight stay! Our dog is very high energy and requires a lot of training and playing throughout the day. Talon did a great job of taking care of him and also provided super detailed notes and photos/videos during his stay. He was also great with our elderly cat.”
“Briana was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, so kind, and took amazing care of all of my animals. I felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands, and it was obvious how much they loved her too. She truly made everything easy and stress-free while I was away. She’ll definitely be my go-to sitter moving forward, and I’ll also be using her to walk Penelope during my longer workdays. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Alexe stayed in our home and did a terrific job with our dog and caring for the house. Oscar had a great time and the house was spotless when we returned. Alexe was attentive and responsive—I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Ryleigh is fantastic! We highly recommend her! Both dogs love her! she’s prompt, made sure the dogs always had fresh water, kept their area clean, and sent updates (with pictures). We will definitely be using her services again, thank you😁”
“Debbie was absolutely amazing with our two girls, Lucy and Rumi! We were nervous going into this booking because Lucy takes a while to warm up to new people and tends to be anxious/vocal at first but Debbie was so patient and consistent with her that by the end of the stay, Lucy had gone from barking and hiding in the bedroom to a completely zero-bark day, letting Debbie scratch her ears and even walk her on leash. That kind of progress with an anxious dog speaks volumes about how gentle and attentive Debbie is. Rumi, our happy-go-lucky girl, was Debbie's shadow the whole time and clearly felt right at home with her too. Debbie sent detailed updates and photos after every visit, went above and beyond by offering to stay overnight so the girls wouldn't be alone for too long, and even left lights on for us before she left in case we got home after dark. Little touches like that show she genuinely cares. We came home to two happy, relaxed dogs and total peace of mind. Debbie made it possible for us to enjoy our trip without worrying, and we'll absolutely be booking her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
“If I could put 10 stars, I would! The house was even cleaner than when we left. Our trip home had a few delays and Asmund offered to stay. And finally when we arrived home, there was calming doggie tv on to keep our Tucker entertained until we got back. I am impressed and will be using Asmund every time!”
“Cassidy did great watching my 100lb mastiff for 9 days! I felt she was well taken care of and Cassidy handled the unexpected bumps gracefully & kept me in the loop throughout. I would definitely book with her again.”

We came home to well loved pups and a super happy cat! Peyten took exceptional care of our pups who are on different meds and different personalities and a German shepherd who can be an anxious and nervous girl. Our mail was brought in our house looks immaculate. Our girls locked themselves in one of our rooms and she went above and beyond getting a door key and letting us know and keeping us in the loop. That door is truly a pain so I appreciated I had ease of mind it was all worked out. Our cats space was well taken care of including the litter box. We can’t thank you enough Peyten!
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!
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!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 1,217 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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
