“I appreciated the updates daily, seeing photos of my cats daily brought peace of mind while I was away! Bethany was willing to water our tomatoes as well, and she scooped their litter more than requested which was kind. She was patient with our timid cat and played with the one that was interested. She was also friendly when we met up before the trip, and asked questions that showed she was invested in caring for our cats. Would recommend!”
“I had to share my appreciation for Christian’s exceptional service. Booking with him has been completely stress free, and my German Shepard absolutely loves him. Christian’s communication is top-notch, so I never have to worry about how things are going at home while I’m away. I initially had hesitations about finding the right fit for my dog, but Christian has proven to a genuine, caring, and lighthearted person. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pup the way I trust him!”
“Bre is always amazing! We have been using her to care for our fur babies for over a year now and she is very trusted! I don’t know what we would do without her!”
“Fantastic and went above and beyond for our pets. When we go on future trips we will definitely be reaching out again! Thank you so much for the attention and care you provided to our furry friends.”
“We had a great experience with Kirsten watching our pets over the holidays. She took care of our cat, reptiles, and our bird, and we felt really comfortable knowing they were in good hands while we were away. Kirsten was easy to communicate with and kept us updated, which we really appreciated. When we got home, our cat was relaxed and our all the other pets were doing well and everything in the house was just as we left it.”
About: I grew up in a family full of animal lovers. We had cats, dogs, birds, rats, guinea pigs and even horses. When I was a kid I wanted to be veterinarian, but I ended up becoming a software engineer instead. Working remote grants me the freedom to put my love for animals to good use as your on-call back up pet parent. After getting a dog of my own, I realized how important it is to have back-up pet care available for when life gets busy. Travel, work, vacations or whatever else you may not be able to bring your furry friend along for, it's my honor to provide peace of mind while you are away. Don't be afraid to ask me for customization or modifications to your booking. I am more than happy to tailor time frame, price, responsibilities and expectations to exactly what you need for your pup. No request is too difficult. I will do my best to accommodate! Be communicative and explicit about the needs of you and your animals. We'll figure it out! I work a 9-5 Monday-Friday as a software engineer. Outside of meetings I have lots of flexibility to accommodate you and your schedule. I'll work with you 1:1 to figure out exactly what booking details work best for you and your pet(s)! (Additional services such as house cleaning, animal grooming or off-hours visits may include a small up-charge, but I am more than happy to provide these services as I am able) I do not board or care for animals in my own home, as I have 2 pets of my own and my home is their sanctuary :) Just as your home is your animals sanctuary, where they likely feel most comfortable, I think this is the best option for all involved. I've interacted with many animals of all temperaments. I prefer slow introductions, and allowing your pet to get comfortable with me at their own pace.
“Sarah was wonderful! She gave good updates and I could tell my cat was well cared for while I was gone. Both Izzy and my place looked great when I returned.”
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful, especially for helping me on such short notice! She kept me updated throughout, which gave me so much peace of mind, and Max absolutely loved her. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
“Grace made traveling away from our cat so much smoother! We knew he was in good hands and her check ins kept us reassured. He took a quick liking to her and we are so happy to have a great pet sitter for future trips!”
About: With 27 years of pet sitting under my belt, I’m practically a pet whisperer! Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or making sure your fur babies feel right at home, I’m here to give them the VIP treatment. You can relax knowing your pets are in loving, experienced hands! I absolutely adore animals, but since we travel to China for a couple of months each year to visit family, I can’t have a pet of my own. Lucky for your furry friends, that means we get to spoil them just like my own! As a stay-at-home parent, pet care is a natural part of my day, so they’ll get tons of love, playtime, and attention. Your pets will feel like part of the family while you’re away, and you can rest easy knowing they’re in great hands! Since I don’t have pets of my own, your furry companion will receive my full, undivided attention. They’ll be treated like family, with the freedom to roam the house and explore at their own pace. Whether it’s playtime in the backyard or cozying up inside, I’ll ensure they’re always supervised and safe. Your pet will have a blast with all the love, care, and personal attention they deserve, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
“We had such a great experience with Lauren! This was our first time ever leaving our dog with anyone other than immediate family, so we were definitely a little nervous going into it! She made the whole experience so easy and reassuring by being incredibly communicative, reliable, and attentive. She went above and beyond with everything that she did! Long walks, sticking around in the evening so Harley would eat, and even remembered that our dog loves to wear pajamas to sleep. It was clear that Harley was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely love to have her watch our dog again!”
“Mario is great! Our dogs are pretty aloof and one stuck by his side during his lunch time drop in. He communicated well, and we would use him again!”
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.
“Dan is absolutely amazing—it honestly brings tears to my eyes thinking about how well he takes care of our dogs while we’re away. He’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you so much, Dan!”
About: I've been taking care of animals since 7 years old. They're my special interest. I've volunteered at the local animal shelter 4 days a week, and I've trained service dogs before myself. I'm not certified officially, but I am a seasoned pet sitter. I'd love to help walk dogs or cats to get more active during my day. I think I would be a great asset for pet owners in Colorado Springs. I teach class between 9 and noon every day but Sunday. I typically wake up earlier than that to start my day. After class, I like to be active by going on walks and practicing yoga. I'd work my pet sitting into my schedule, no problem. I would care for pets in the client's home. Animals need physical activity and enrichment activities for their mental and physical health and their behavior. I love using positive reinforcement and I've never had a dog not love me and be gentle with me. Even the big goofy ones that love to hug people. I believe in active play for animals and spoiling them rotten with affection.
“Anna is the best. She showed up last minute when another rover had to cut her house sitting short. We were out of town and Anna saved the day. She has cared for both our senior boxer and our 4 month old puppy. She is punctual, dependable, and cares for your pets like you would. Thanks again Anna!”

“Dora checked in on my indoor/outdoor cat while I was gone for 10 days. He had everything he needed while I was gone. Thanks for keeping an eye on Queequeg! He's still working on forgiving me.”

Naiya is absolutely AMAZING! I can't recommend her enough!! Her report cards are so cute and well written, and she sends a ton of photos :D She is super sweet and has lots of experience with Animals. When I came home, my cats kinda just stayed doing their own thing. This is a great sign to me, because it means they've been getting the attention they needed while I was gone 🥰
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fort Carson is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,160 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Carson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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
- 94% 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.
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.
