“Remy has been so helpful! My dogs absolutely adore her. I have a new rescue who is very timid towards people and Remy was able to become friends with her very quickly. I work long hours so she comes and gives them some time in the yard to help break up the day.”
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.
“Absolutely fantastic! Stefanie kept us updated and sent plenty of pictures. The zoo loved her- she even got our shy kitty to come out for her! Will definitely use again and HIGHLY recommend!!”
“Olivia was reliable about stopping by as scheduled and helped clean up a plant the cats knocked over while we were away, unpacked an order from Chewy and was flexible when we decided to extend our trip partway through, which I appreciated. Communication was straightforward and the animals were all happy and healthy when we returned. There were a couple small care details that didn’t quite match the instructions, but overall she did provide coverage while we were out of town.”
“We're so glad we found Katilyn! She was attentive, communicative, and took wonderful care of Ahsoka and Thorin. Her updates gave us peace of mind while we were away, and she made the whole experience stress-free. We highly recommend her!”
“Savanna is amazing! We have 4 animals and she met with us before our trip to give us peace of mind and she worked with us when our flights got changed and we needed to come back at a different time. All the while she sent pictures and updates of our animals. I highly recommend her!”
“Ben was great with our two dogs! He followed all of our instructions perfectly and made sure they were happy and well cared for during his drop-in visit. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. We would absolutely book with him again in the future.”
About: “Dog fever” doesn’t even begin to cover it — my girlfriend and I are counting down the days until we can bring home a new puppy. I’m the kind of person who can’t pass a dog on the street without stopping to say hello, so you can imagine how excited I get around animals. I’m a private contractor working remotely with a very flexible schedule. I can shift my day to day schedule and adapt to most needs you may have. I am a very attentive person with patience and much affection. I hope to keep your pets routine consistent & stress-free with exercise, playtime, or just extra attention.
“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: My name is Sonia! I have been dog sitting and walking since 2015 and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. I truly love spending time with dogs and enjoy everything from leisurely neighborhood walks to long, adventurous hikes and energetic play sessions. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have two dogs of my own: Blossom, my sweet long-haired miniature Dachshund, and Cactus, my playful black Goldendoodle. They have given me plenty of hands-on experience with different personalities, routines, and needs. I am comfortable caring for both high- and low-energy dogs and am happy to tailor walks and activities to each dog’s individual needs. Whether your pup prefers a short stroll, a long walk, a hike, or simply some playtime and companionship, I’m happy to accommodate them. I am also comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions, feeding schedules, exercise routines, and other special requests. My goal is always to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m available all day, every day for the next six weeks! Beginning in late September, I’ll be available weekdays after 2:00 PM and all day on weekends. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide plenty of flexibility for your pet’s needs. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, playtime, and any special needs or routines your pet has. I’m happy to give your pets plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and enrichment while also respecting their individual personalities and boundaries. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home with your pets, so I’ll treat both your home and your animals with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Meagan did a fantastic job caring for our four dogs during her drop-in visits. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which I really appreciated. Her attentiveness and awareness gave me peace of mind while she was with our pets. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable care!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for most of my life. I grew up surrounded by animals, from bunnies and guinea pigs to horses and dogs, which taught me early on how different personalities and needs can be. For the past 14 years, I’ve been dog sitting both small and large breeds, building hands-on experience with everything from high-energy pups to calmer, senior dogs. I also have my own nine year old mini Maltese, Simba, who is deeply loved and well cared for, and has only strengthened my understanding of daily dog care, routines, and emotional needs. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly life. I’m a freelance filmmaker, fitness trainer, and yoga instructor, so my schedule is flexible and movement-based. Walks, outdoor time, and structured routines are already part of my day, making it easy to incorporate dog walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and check-ins. I enjoy being active and outdoors, so caring for dogs feels like a natural extension of my lifestyle rather than a side task. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, whether that’s in my home or the client’s home. This includes feeding schedules, walks, exercise, play, rest, and any specific instructions you provide. I keep environments clean, calm, and organized, and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, hikes, or to dog parks if that’s something you prefer, or keep things low-key with shorter walks and companionship. My focus is always on attentive, loving, and responsible care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: I love taking hikes with my dog and I am very good at handling any type of dog! Overall, I connect with every pet I meet to make sure they stay well loved while their owner is away Im currently working a part-time job with flexible hours so pet care fits in lovely!! My schedule allows for me to be available when needed! I can easily crate a pet, help them stay in the right areas of the yard or home, and make sure they are surrounding with a friendly and calm environment
“Morgan is everything you want in anyone who looks after your pet- dependable, observant, communicative. She lets you know what pet owners want to know about the visit. I have a young puppy with many needs, but Morgan gives me great peace with her drop in visits.”
About: My husband and I have always had animals in our lives, and our home is filled with love and cuddles, whether it's on the couch or in bed. We treat every dog like family and ensure they feel at home with us. We can also help with training your puppy and provide any necessary medications. Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily lives. I work from home, and my hubby and I prioritize ensuring our huskies have a great life. This means we have plenty of availability to take pups on hikes, walks, and spend quality time with them. Our routine revolves around making sure all the dogs in our care are happy, healthy, and well-exercised. Our fenced backyard offers plenty of space for them to run and play. Inside, we can crate train if needed, ensuring they have a cozy and comfortable space to relax. Additionally, we provide constant supervision, lots of love, and regular walks, especially on the nearby trails. Our two friendly huskies also help make new furry friends feel welcome and at ease.
“David was great! I was new to the area and he had great recommendations for vets. He also came through in a bind when my flight was delayed. He took amazing photos and kept me updated about my dog. Would recommend to anyone!”
“India was wonderful! She did a drop-in visit for a recent evening event and was reliable, communicative, and very easy to work with. I appreciated the updates and felt comfortable knowing everything was taken care of while I was away. I would absolutely recommend India and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Arianna sent photos daily, but ended up being unavailable one of the days I had her booked for and I was informed 45 minutes after the drop-in time, day of. Luckily, my partner was in town and able to stop by to care for my cats, albeit later than they are normally fed.”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Palmer Lake stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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

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.
