“At the last minute I needed someone to come in and let my pup out and Kimberly came to the rescue! She was very attentive and kind to my girl. I will definitely be using her again for check ins!”
“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!”

“Our cat adored chris! Followed instructions and kept our cat company while we were away for the week. Will be requesting again 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.”
“Dixie was great with my 2 dogs, I loved the photos and comments she provided for the drop in visits. She was prompt, kind, and made me feel at ease that my babies were well taken care of and secure at home!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in elementary school. I have mostly had big dogs all my life but I have taken care of small dogs too. I currently have 2 older big dogs whom I care for. I currently work full time at a school so I would be available to work with your animals after 4. On Mondays I have classes from 6-8 but before then I will be able to check on your animal. On the weekends I am completely available all day. I will not bring your animals to my home as I have 2 big dogs and 3 cats who aren’t accepting to new animals.
“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!”
About: I absolutely love my job at Rover. I'm a lover of all animals. Unfortunately, I don't have any pets of my own because of the stipulations in my lease. The good thing is...I get to take care of and love on YOURS!! So alittle bit about me. I've had dogs since the age of 9 and that's when my parents instilled in me the responsibilities of pet ownership. Our first puppy was a miniature "Party" (with black & white markings) Poodle named Gigi. We had her until she passed at the ripe old age of 15. I was raised in a home where we treat our pets as family. And man, our dogs were spoiled! We've had all our dogs from puppies until they passed of old age (around 14, 15, 16 years old). Now, that's a long time in dog years!! When my son was a toddler, we stumbled upon our first pet. 🐟 It was a goldfish (a feeder fish) that he won at a carnival that was set up in the parking lot of Chapel Hills Mall. That fish ended up living for a very long time. Like 5 years! 🙄 Shortly after that, our pet family kept growing. We've had all kinds of pets from fish 🐟 to 🐚 hermit crabs, dwarf hamsters 🐹 (Scooby & Scrappy), 🦜 a bird (finch), a lop earred bunny named Maizey 🐇, our corn snake named (Phantom) 🪱 and our fat cat named Breckenridge. 🐈 Every one of my family members has had their own pets as well. Two or more dogs from 🐩 Toy Poodles to 🦮 Labrador Retrievers. I started out pet sitting for most of my friends and of course for all of my family members. I can care for animals from Babies through Senior age. Because all of my own animals lived into old age, many needed medications just like adults do when we get old. They've been diabetic, needed special diets, medications in drops, pills and needle forms. I've done it all. If you choose me to provide your pet care, I will take care of your dog(s), cat(s) or other animal(s) just like they are my own. I will love and spoil them while you're away. Maybe they won't even notice that you're gone. 🤣 If I'm providing overnight housesitting care and if you allow your pet(s) on the furniture, I have no problem with them sleeping with me at night. I wouldn't want to change their routine and most are pretty warm little heaters when they sleep next to you. I've bathed, clipped nails, brushed/groomed, cut hair and administered medications. A few of the dogs that I've cared for have or have had diabetes that require special diets, insulin injections and oral medications. I promise, your dog(s), cat(s) or other pet(s) will get lots of love, attention, playtime and spoiling while you're away. I'll provide as many pictures and videos as I can. Heck, I bet they'll miss me when I'm gone. 🥰 Cash Tips are very much appreciated! Rover DOES take a higher percentage of my pay from my earnings than I'd like. I am available full time. I'm retired from the corporate world. Rover is my full-time job of choice and I love what I do! I do go out with my friends from time to time. I'll never be far from your home or outside of the Colorado Springs area. I'm never out longer than a few to possibly 5/6 hours at a time. If I have a scheduled event that takes me out of the house for longer than a few hours, I will communicate that so we can plan appropriately. I'm super excited to take care of your pup/kitten or senior dog/cat while you're away. The whole point of going on vacation is to have fun and enjoy yourself, but at the same time, having peace of mind knowing that your pet(s) are in good hands and being taken care. I CANNOT care for your pet(s) in my home because my lease doesn't allow animals. However, statistically, pet(s) are more calm and comfortable in their own home and familiar surroundings.
“Amber kept in touch with me all day and sent me picture updates! My dogs loved her. I would definitely recommend this service and Amber to anyone and everyone! -Jenny”
About: I’ve been dog sitting and walking since I was 10 years old, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love! Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities — from sweet, calm cuddle bugs to super energetic pups that love to play nonstop! I also have a playful, hyper black lab of my own, so I’m very used to keeping up with high-energy dogs, long walks, playtime, and lots of attention and affection! I currently work part time and remotely, which gives me extra flexibility and plenty of time throughout the day to dedicate to caring for your pups! Since I’m home often, I’m able to help with walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and giving your dog lots of attention throughout the day if needed. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and always make sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away! I’m reliable, timely, patient, trustworthy, and truly enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a happy, excited pup!
“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.”
“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: I have 2 years experience working at a shelter where I was responsible for feeding, walking and maintaining the kennels. My husband and I have 2 large dogs whom we love and spoil. I am very responsible and hardworking. I am very new to the area and currently a stay at home dog mom. I have a very flexible schedule and my own car so I am available to be anywhere at anytime. I grew up in a military household and have carried that respect and integrity throughout my adulthood. I will follow any and all household instructions and make sure your pets are safe, taken care of and cuddled.
About: Growing up, pets were always in my close-knit family. We owned a pit bull and chihuahua, who I absolutely love and adore. The current animals in my home is a rescue pug-frenchie mix, cat, and bunny! I was paid all the time to take care of our senior pit bull before he passed due to health issues and still get paid to take care of our senior chihuahua when my aunt goes on vacation or takes a long shift. I have successfully trained our new puppy and helped my dad train the pit bull. Pet care definitely fits into my & weekly routine as I had a dog, cat, and bunny before I moved here in Colorado Springs. Now I am the owner of two French bulldogs. I am the main person who cares for them as my husband works full time in the military. I love animals and have always grown up with at least one pet in the house. I was always waking up early to take our dog, meg, out for a walk, making sure the cat is fed and has water, along with meg. I have the shortest schedule out of my family so most of the time I was taking him for walks and changing my cat’s litter. I easily recognize when pets set boundaries and know how to properly care for animals! Now I care for my two frenchies, which includes feeding them, making sure their water is full, playing with them, and recognizing when they are too tired/want to go home as they are not able to play or walk long distances.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and friends dogs for the past five years. Whether it’s checking in through out the day or spending the night with a pup in potty training I’ve loved it all. I’m working towards making pet care my full time job, so I can spend all day looking after animals, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by our four legged friends! I have a house with trails and parks surrounded. I love taking dogs for hikes or even a nice easy stroll through the park. I love playing fetch, cuddling or even just spending time with any fur baby I can find.
“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!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain
Alena did a great job! She offered a meet and greet prior to our trip and then was able to send pictures of our cats as well. She came at the same time each day and was very respectful and communicative throughout. We will definitely book with her again! Thanks again Alena!
Cara is so friendly and makes you feel comfortable leaving your pets in her care within minutes of meeting her. She goes the extra mile and provides notes on how your pet is doing. She also sends pictures of your pet with each visit. It really made us happy to be able to see pictures of our kitten while we were away. No complaints! We would definitely recommend Cara to take care of your pets!
Another great experience with Lori! Our Dexter has been a bit more nervous lately being left alone, and Lori knew exactly how to cater care to help him. She recommended playing soft music, and I really think it did wonders. She truly puts care into getting to know your pet's individual needs.
Agustina has been a pleasure to work with. She’s detail oriented and caring. Our pups enjoyed her company and made us pet parents feel safe. She was playful and attentive to our pups today. Glad we cross paths and our pups look forward to seeing her again!
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!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fountain is $13 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $20 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 November 2026, there are 2,186 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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 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.
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.
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.
