“Nicole got 2 paws up from our girls, and 2 thumbs up from us! What a great job she did with them. Neither dogs are used to us being away very often, and are stage 5 clingers.. one has a chronic disease and requires multiple medications as well. After meeting Nicole we felt immediate reassurance. The dogs both loved her instantly. She stayed at our house and sent us lots of photos during our trip. We have already booked her for our next adventure.”
“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.”
“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!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, as young as 5 months. I've also taken care of cats and livestock. I'm happy to watch puppies or senior dogs in need of medication. I can be patient with fearful pets and give them their space. I've worked as a stall cleaner, and I've been house sitting since 2021. I've also volunteered cleaning dog kennels at a shelter. I'm starting to do some photography so I'm available majority of the day, aside from occasional errands or meetups. I can do most photography work right from your home. I do my best to keep your pets on their regular schedule. When house sitting, I follow all the client's rules and respect how the house runs, and do my best to keep to your pet's schedule. Depending on preference, I'm happy to send pictures and updates each day.
“I cannot say enough kind things about Bre. She was absolutely outstanding. This was my first time leaving my very anxious pup with anyone outside of immediate family and I was a bit of a mess about it, but Bre put me completely at ease. Not only did she send a truly ridiculous number of photos but she sent thoughtful updates on every thing that I was worried about (and more!). She was incredibly patient and kind with my dog who took a couple nights before she fully relaxed around Bre (even playing cooking shows to help my pup feel more comfortable). And by the end of the stay, my dog even let Bre sing without getting nervous (did I mention that my pup was incredibly anxious?! Lol this was a huge feat especially given that my pup gets nervous over any raised voices or singing even if it's her people doing it). I'm so incredibly grateful to Bre. She did a stellar job and I would book her again for house sitting in a heartbeat. I've never been so comfortable being away from my dog. She made sure that my pup was safe and cared for in a way that meant I didn't have to worry. You can't go wrong with Bre. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“This was our second time having Mario pet sit our girls. He takes such amazing care of them and our home! He keeps in daily touch with pictures and always puts my mind at rest. We are so happy we found Mario and will continue using his services for as long as we can!”
About: Ive taken care of friends and families pets since high school years. I used to pet sit on a regular basis up until I moved to another state. Im currently unemployed and going to school online. If I'm not at home, I'm usually out hiking or sight seeing with my dog. We usually like to go to dog parks or try to go up in the mountains. I have a fenced in yard and my own dog who's well trained and friendly to all animals. Im always out and about going on small or long walks with my dog.
“Talon was so great with my two pups and attentive to their needs. Actually asked questions and spent time with them during the meet and greet, and provided updates while I was away.”
“Andrea is always the best for our pups and house! We had an incident with our neighbor’s dogs (a lot of dogs and not so great dog owners) and she handled it like a champ. We’ve booked with her several times now and will continue- as long as she’s available 😉”
About: I've taken care of animals of every kind since I was a little girl. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to check in with, feed and play with their pets I'm currently working from home, so I'l have plenty of time to play with your fur animals! I'm available on weekends, and weekdays.. I also have experience with larger animals and small rodents and reptiles. From any experience of age to skill level I can assure your pet is properly cared for.
“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.”
“We were so pleased with Joshua. He took plenty of pictures that made us feel comforted while he looked after our fur babies. Both our babies are rescues and are very skittish around new comers, the moment Joshua came, our dogs went right up to him and allowed him to give loves, we knew right then that he would be caring for them. He was respectful and responsible during his stay. We highly recommend him to anyone !!!”
“We greatly appreciated how well Lily took care of our Chex!! She communicated and sent pics regularly which put our minds at ease. And it’s clear Chex liked her and was comfortable as she clearly ate while we were gone (it’s not uncommon for us to come back with a skinny girl from refusing to eat). Also, Lily left our house clean which was greatly appreciated!! We will definitely book with Lily again!”
“My husband and I were extremely pleased with Kayleen’s professionalism and attentiveness with our dogs. Our puppy can be a handful and she handled them together great! We got updates on the dogs, pictures and kayleen was never gone too long when she was tending to other responsibilities. We would highly highly recommend her and will likely use her for house sitting many times to come. Thanks again Kayleen!”
“Sophie is fantastic! She was so attentive to Ollie and BearBear. They loved her. She has the best attention to detail. I am absolutely excited to have found Sophie and will use her again and again and again!”
“She was awesome! When we came home the puppies were completely tuckered out, happy, and clearly got tons of love and cuddles. We could tell they were very well cared for, and we’d absolutely book with her again.”
“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!”
“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.”
“Reluctant to give such a high rating because we want to keep Andrew for ourselves. Bruno and Sophia loved him. They were well care for and loved. Andrew is very trustworthy.”

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!

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.
