“Rebecca was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was clear and precise. He punctuality was awesome. She even altered her visit time to better facilitate our fur babies. Plenty of pictures and awesomely detailed updates. I cannot recommend her enough for your pet sitter needs.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12, I currently have 3 of my own. I have been doing animal behavior and training courses for eight years, and understand the best ways to make a dog feel comfortable and confident. I have worked with puppies all the way to senior dogs. I am also comfortable working with reactive dogs (to an extent). My own dog is reactive, and I know the best methods to keep a dog focused and safe during a high stress event. I will always do my best to keep the routine your animals have, as change can be stressful to them. I am a hybrid student so I am extremely flexible and able to come spend as much time as needed with your pet(s). I can accommodate almost any needs! Making sure a dog is safe is the number one priority. I will always ask your dogs comfort level around strangers, new dogs, cars, squirrels… and so on. This will allow me to tailor my care to ensure your dog gets the best experience possible and you don’t have to worry about anything happening.
About: I have provided consistent dog sitting services throughout 2023, working with repeat clients and building reliable routines with the pets in my care. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, including puppies under one year old and senior dogs, as well as both large and small breeds. I have experience caring for cats. I also have experience caring for: hedgehogs, reptiles, horses, chickens, and ducks. In addition to pet care, I regularly handle house sitting responsibilities such as watering plants, bringing in mail, and maintaining a clean, secure home. I focus on being dependable, attentive, and respectful of both your pets’ needs and your home. I am currently working part time, but my hours at my job are flexible, and can tailor them to fit around my clients’ needs and expectations. I care for pets in their home by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I adjust care based on each pet’s age, energy level, and needs. I also keep the home tidy and secure, and can provide updates as requested.
About: I have over 6 years of hands on experience pet sitting and dog walking for neighbors, friends, and families. I currently work at Camp Bow Wow, where I care for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments in a fast paced, supervised environment. My experience includes feeding, walking, administering basic care, cleaning, and ensuring pets are safe, happy, and comfortable. I’m confident handling energetic puppies, senior dogs, and multiple pets at once, and I always treat every pet like my own. I'm currently in school part time , which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop ins, playtime, and feeding schedules to make sure each pet gets the attention they need. I’m reliable, responsive, and committed to sticking closely to your pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

About: I am a seasoned, responsible, gregarious, fun-loving cat/dog lady with full day availability and weekends to take care of your pet needs like they were my own. I get up with my puppy everyday feed and play a game with then take him on a morning walk. If I run some errands, he is crate trained (by me) and has some quiet time but when I get home, we normally take another walk and play a game in the backyard that requires him to run around. I also take him out multiple times a day for potty breaks. I live on a one-acre property with a fenced in yard. I have a 3 year old Labradoodle (Lincoln) with all his shots and he is very good and well socialized with other animals.
“Maria was amazing with our 3 dogs! Our regular sitters they have grown accustomed to over the years were not available and while our dogs are friendly, they have their specific quirks and needs. Maria adapted to them with ease and provided everything they needed while we were gone. It was a great relief to have someone we could trust and rely on providing such attentive care! Not only this, but she also picked up their poop from the yard every day and threw it out, left the house tidy, and collected the mound of packages we accrued over the week we were gone. Thank you so much, Maria!”
“Heidi was just plain fantastic. Her genuine care and constant updates just put all of my anxiety of leaving my dogs at rest. Heidi again thank you so very much for being a perfect human.”
“We are so happy Lenley was available to watch our dogs while we traveled! She took good care of them and sent us pics so we could see how happy they were! We will definitely request her again!”
“I have a dog with a traumatic past and a puppy. I chose Charlize because once I met her, I knew her calm demeanor and soft voice would be perfect for both of them!”
“Kyla is an '11' on a scale of 1 to 10. We have used her services multiple times and yet continue to be amazed by her. She is 100% dependable and trustworthy and we would recommend her to anyone at any time. We appreciate her care towards our pet and it shows in her reports of her visits to our home, and how our pet responds to her. THANK YOU, KYLA!!!!”
“Notified me when there was a concern immediately, also assisted us when a package came in late so she made an extra trip to put it away. Really appreciated her communication”

About: I've always had between 2 and 4 dogs at any given time in my life. I have experience training puppies, caring for elderly dogs, and teaching old dogs new tricks (it's totally possible btw). If you have high-energy pups that need lots of exercise every day, I can run or hike with your dog/s. I have two Newfoundland-poodle mixes of my own and we stay very active. I usually run or hike with them in the mornings and get in another walk later in the evenings. I work from home and have a very flexible work schedule. I have a spacious fenced yard and two friendly pups of my own that love meeting other dogs! When walking your dog/s, I can bring them hiking/running/walking when I take my own or take them on their own depending on your preference.

About: *Administer Medication, Injections, and Fluids *Beautiful walking trails nearby for boarding clients *Big backyard for outdoor play Hello! My name is Sarah, and I’m a former veterinary technician with experience administering medications, including injections and fluids. I’ve spent years around animals—growing up on a cattle ranch gave me hands-on experience with dogs, cats, cattle, horses, and even emus! While working at a veterinary clinic, I assisted the vet during appointments and surgeries and provided care to both day and overnight boarders. I love all dogs—big, small, drooly, relaxed, and energetic—and I’m happy to accommodate their unique personalities and needs. I also offer a free meet-and-greet so you and your dog(s) can get to know me before booking. For overnight stays, please bring your dog’s food and a favorite toy, bed, or blanket. I highly recommend bringing their usual food to avoid any tummy issues, but if needed, I can provide GI-sensitive food. Feel free to reach out anytime to learn more about me and how I can care for your pets. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs! I work part-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility in my schedule. This allows me to dedicate time each day to caring for pets, whether it’s for walks, drop-in visits, or overnight stays at my house. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow any specific instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise needs, medication, and preferred routines. In my home, pets have a cozy, clean environment with plenty of playtime and attention. In a client’s home, I treat the space with respect and aim to keep their pet’s routine as normal as possible to reduce stress. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care so both pets and their owners feel at ease.

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.
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 Palmer Lake 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
