“This is the second time we have had Bethany check in on our boys! She is fantastic! She sent pics and kept us updated on how they were doing. Will be using her any time we need another sitter!”
“Mara was a great Rover for our two mini’s as we were away for the weekend. She gave them lots of love and clearly has experience with dogs. She communicated well and went the extra mile loving our pups. We would love to have her back again!”
“Shari cares a lot about Lady Bird. She is always prompt and on time. It's hard for me to leave a good review because I don't want to share her. She will love your pet like her own. Definitely 5 out of 5. Will be a regular for sure.”
“My cat is normally very shy- but he loved Cedar! She was thorough, communicative, friendly and did everything I had asked. Great experience all around. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Rebecca is AMAZING! Highly recommended. Walter felt instantly welcomed and loved when they first met, we knew it would be a great match. When we came home from our ski day, he was so happy! We also came back to a hand wrote note from Rebecca - which is so unheard of! We were provided photos throughout the visits, and Rebecca kept us informed throughout her visit. Can’t want to continue to have Walter loved on by Rebecca!! 🐾🥰”
“Sarah was great! We had a trip to Disney World for little over a week and she was incredibly sweet with our two pups. From the first meet and greet our dogs loved her right away. During the visits she played with our dogs, gave them fresh water, food and administered cbd anxiety medication, and checked on our chickens! She also made sure to check that the fence line had no fresh holes dug by our dogs. Thank you so much Sarah! You gave us much needed (and appreciated) assurance that our furry family members were ok and in good hands!”
“Andrea is a wonderfully kind, responsive, and responsible sitter. She’s great about sending pictures, videos, and updates. I will continue to book her for as long as she’s available!”
“Patricia was a very thoughtful, kind, and caring person to watch our fur babies. Overall, great experience working with her and we will continue to use her on future trips. From one fur baby owner to another, you won't go wrong hiring her. ☺️”
“Darlene came twice a day to play and take care of our pups. She communicated well, our dogs seemed very happy and loved while we were gone. Would highly recommend.”
“Dixie was great! She offered to do a meet and greet prior to coming over. When she did, she sent the cutest pictures. She is very communicative and I’ll be using her again. Thank you!!”
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.
“Katie gave AMAZING updates and pictures. She honored my dog's routine and gave me peace of mind knowing my sweet old girl was in good hands while we were gone. I will definitely rebook her in the future!”
“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.”
“Carolyn is fantastic with my Yorkie, after a quick search and find we got lucky to find Carolyn who started immediately and hope this continues after our 1st week went very well. Thanks again! Jim & Gia”
“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!”
“Tabbi is extremely attentive to the creatures under her care, and is very communicative with their people. I can wholeheartedly recommend her, and will use her again in the future.”
“Thanks again Nancy for taking care of Zeke. He loves the toy you brought him, it’s the longest I’ve seen a toy last so it must be special to him.”

Emily took awesome care of my two cats! She writes down everything that happens during the visit and takes lots of hilarious and awesome pictures! She followed the instructions I left to the T and the house looked as good, if not better, as how we left it. The cats definitely enjoyed their time with Emily and I will definitely book with her again!
Megan has been so great! Had pet sitters fall through but thankfully for her, we were still able to go on our trip and know our pets were taken care of. She is always on time and I love the pictures and updates she gives while we’re gone. Would completely recommend her and plan to rebook her in the future. Thank you, Megan for taking such great care of my fur babies.
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!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fort Carson on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,129 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fort Carson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort Carson stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
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
- 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.
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.
