About: Every dog I meet is my new best friend, and I truly mean that! Whether I’m out for a walk, at a gathering, or preparing to care for a pup, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s pets, including a beagle, two Great Danes, and several collies. I’ve also pet-sat for friends with golden retrievers, huskies, and more. Whether your dog needs playtime, a long walk, or just some extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy and loved while you’re away! I am a freelance musician and teacher in the Colorado Springs area. My flexible hours allow me to focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m also available at all times of the day, though my schedule varies from week to week—feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to work out a time that fits your needs! I understand how important routine is for pets, and I am dedicated to keeping them on a schedule that feels familiar and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or bedtime, I do my best to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and ensures your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.

About: *I do require all dogs to be UTD on all their shots; proof will be required* Hello! My name is Tyffanie and I have taken care of dogs and other animals for as long as I can remember. As a kid my family always had fur babies in the house, and as an adult I have had fur babies of my own as well! I will treat your baby as my own and send picture and video updates throughout their stay with me. I currently work full-time in my home as a daycare provider, so I will have plenty of time to care for your babies all day and ensure they are getting the love, attention, and potty breaks they need. I have a big fenced in yard for play and potty breaks as well as three very friendly dogs to keep your pets company! All pets sleep inside the home, I do ask for crates in order to create a safe space for all involved, especially at night. I can and do board multiple dogs that can be from multiple families but always limit this to a safe number.

About: My whole adult life I’ve had the privilege of caring and loving many dogs and cats. I work with a pet rescue organization that has provided me with the knowledge and experience to give the best care for your loved ones. I am a full time musician and have spent 25 years touring all over the world. I lost my dog who traveled with me everywhere a few years back and now, taking a much needed break from the road, I am finding lots of extra time that I would love to fill surrounded by animals. I have just relocated to this area from Florida and my schedule is wide open. Every pet is different and has its own specific needs. I love long walks, to play fetch, swim, or just watch squirrels if that’s what they are into. I also have some experience with training on a leash, potty, and simple commands. A discussion about your animal, specific needs, and character is a good place to start.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and I recently worked at a dog daycare for a year where I learned everything there is to know about caring for furry babies. Since I have my own pup, I’m used to the everyday routine of caring for her, walking her and playing with her during her sudden bursts of energy. Caring for a furry baby requires appropriate communication with the parents and a detailed understanding of what each furry baby needs. It also involves making the environment fun for everyone. I’m currently out of school and have a lot of free time to take care of your furry baby. I live close to 3 big parks and I love to take long walks with my pup every day so an addition is always welcome. When I’m caring for pets in a clients home I make sure I pay close attention on everything that needs to be done to keep your furry baby safe and healthy.

About: As someone who has owned pets, I have years of experience in caring for cats, dogs, lizards, bunnies and more! When I could not locate a proper groomer for my shihtzu, I learned how cut my dog’s hair and clip his nails. When I owned cats, I did extensive research on diet to ensure they had all the nutrition they needed. I’m still fairly new to owning bunnies but I have learned a lot from vet visits and testimonials from other bun parents! I work two other jobs but I make my own schedule so I can fit late afternoon and nightly check ins, baths, walks, overnight sitting, and errands into my day if that’s what you’d like. I would love to spend as much time as I can making sure that your pet is well loved and taken care of. I don’t want to break an animal’s routine so if you have your pet on a schedule/routine, diet, or regiment of some sort, I plan to stick to that.

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how much our furry friends mean to us, and I know how hard is can be to leave them in someone else’s care. That’s why I promise to care for your dog as I would my own! I have worked as a vet tech in animal shelters for over 2 years, so I am comfortable providing medical care such as medicating, administering insulin, performing canine CPR, etc. I also am experienced working with dogs who have behavioral quirks. In fact, that’s my favorite type of dog to work with! If you’re worried about finding someone to care for your dog with stranger danger, reactivity, hyperarousal issues (and more), I’m your girl. I would love to take that stress off your shoulders and help care for or train your dog. I believe dogs are the greatest thing on this earth. No matter what medical or behavioral conditions your dog is dealing with, or even if they are perfectly happy and healthy, I would love the opportunity to spend time with them. I am new to the area and still looking for a full time job. In the mean time, I can’t think of a better gig than hanging out with new dogs! I will follow your dogs normal routine as much as possible to avoid causing them any stress. Each day will also consist of physical and mental exercise. I can do several drop in visits throughout the day and spend a few hours at a time with your dog.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and horses, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve supported senior pets through their final stages with patience and compassion, and I’ve also helped care for newborn litters, closely monitoring their health and development as they grow. I also have personal experience caring for handicapped pets. I’ve owned and cared for an older three-legged dog, and I’ve helped friends with pets who needed assistance walking, standing, or getting comfortable. Providing gentle support and adapting to each animal’s unique needs is something I take seriously and approach with kindness. My lifelong experience with horses — including care at the professional competition level — has strengthened my attention to detail, reliability, and commitment to high-quality care. I’m comfortable administering medications, including oral and IV treatments, and have experience doing so for dogs, cats, and horses. Above all, I treat every animal entrusted to me as if they were my own, providing thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely loving care. I currently work a flexible 9–5 schedule, which allows me to stop by during the day for potty breaks, short walks, or check-ins as needed. Outside of my work hours, I have open availability aside from time spent at the gym or caring for my horses at the barn. I prioritize clear communication and planning to ensure your pets receive consistent, reliable care throughout the day. In my home, my pets are truly part of the family. I have a Belgian Malinois mix who has 24 hour access to our fully fenced backyard with plenty of space to run and explore. She can also come in and relax in our upstairs office whenever she would like, so she is free to choose where she feels most comfortable. We go on daily walks and occasional hikes to keep her happy and fulfilled. Because I also have three indoor cats, one elderly and one still quite young, I supervise full house access to make sure everyone feels safe and relaxed. My dog is very cat friendly, but I am always mindful of each animal’s comfort level. My cats have free roam of the house, lots of toys, cozy spots, and supervised outdoor time during warm summer days. I pay close attention to their different personalities and needs, especially my senior kitty. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as normal as possible for them. I like to learn their routine, when they eat, where they sleep, how they like to play, and any little quirks that make them unique. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away.

About: I have appreciated all animals since childhood. I own a puppy named Kira. We enjoy hiking, playing with her toys and, of course, taking walks. I have had her since she was six weeks old. About three years ago, we chose to add a sibling. Her name is Mouse! She is a Siamese cat we adopted at six weeks old. They have been inseparable since she arrived. Training has occurred off and on for years. I conduct leash work both on and off the lead. Basic puppy training includes potty training, sit, and lay down commands. I also practice staying or enough, and the go ahead cues. I work with them to avoid pulling on a leash and to slow their intake of food or water. I would like to learn more about training for deaf or blind animals. I actually just moved back to Colorado after six years so I’m trying to slowly get on my feet. I’m usually free most days. My schedule is usually potty and breakfast never in the same order depending on the day! Loves dog parks, hikes, water, and long car rides with the windows down. Cuddles are the best; it might turn into a nap😁. Love to end our day with a good walk to get the last of the energy out for the day! Love to end the night with a good dinner and some tv time. Oh and don’t forget the cuddles and warm blankets 🥰 I want to make sure they have water and food. A cool place to be and a way out to do there business. I would treat them the way I would want my fur baby to be taken care of if I’m away from home. Not great with words but great with proving my worth as a worker!

Seriously the best! Our dog absolutely loves Rover days cause she gets to see Danielle. Danielle is great with communicating everything to us and adjusting our schedules if needed, her reports are always funny and shows our dogs personality so well with the pictures and notes. She loves to play with our dog which we so appreciate but also knows when to just sit with her on her anxious and lazy days. Thanks for all you do Danielle!!

Andrea has become a part of our family and I can't imagine anyone taking better care of my two bulldogs. Andrea treats my babies as if they were her own. She pays attention to all of their needs with great detail including caring for them after surgery, through illnesses, and on "normal" days where one is shy and the other is a ball of energy. I would highly recommend Andrea to take for your babies!!!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Fountain

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Fountain is $14 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $22 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 2,096 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Fountain. 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.

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 Fountain 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!

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.

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 Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Fountain with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Fountain. 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
