About: I grew up with dogs! I l have always been asked to watch a freinds dog or a family friend’s dog! I have plenty of experience with animals, I used to foster dogs and puppies, I did that for 2 years! I stay at home mostly all the time, I mainly do school, and take care of my dog or I clean up the house. I prefer it that way. I live in a very open house, nothing that animals would hurt themselves with around, a big fenced in backyard, tons of toys and plenty of food and water
About: I offer attentive, reliable pet care tailored to each dog’s needs. I have a 10 month old Golden Retriever who is friendly, playful, and loves every dog, creating a positive and social environment. I’m experienced with puppy routines, basic training reinforcement, and administering medications. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, capable hands. I work from home most days, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision, and I can easily adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. I do not have a fenced yard but our apartment has a fenced dog park. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets are treated like family. My own pet is my world, and I bring that same level of care, attention, and responsibility to every animal I look after.
“Michele and her husband provided excellent care for our two dogs over a three-day period. Their communication was consistently clear and effective. We will be booking again soon.”
“Bettina and James are such nice people who did a great job taking care of our energetic dog. Their dog Sam was a great play buddy. Jackson came home tired and happy. We highly recommend Bettina, James, and Sam!”
“Jordan and Chris were amazing, highly recommend!! Our fur baby, Axel, can be very particular with his people, but he warmed up to Jordan straight away. They were willing to meet for an initial meet and greet, which really gave us a peace of mind. We received updates, along with pictures during his stay, needlessto say Axel was already snuggling with Jordan and invading her space like he does at home. Thank you so much for taking in Axel and treating him so well. We wished we lived closer!”
“Alisha, Luis & their family were awesome! They treated our Lulu like she’s their own. I cant thank them enough! We enjoyed our stay in Colorado knowing the Lulu was safe in their home. If i could give them 6stars i would!”
“Absolutely amazing couple! I had someone ghost my dogs at the last minute. But they answered and were totally understanding about it being last. They were super friendly! Even my one girl dog who is hesitant about men gave Anderw lots of kisses like she knew him!! I’m very happy with getting to meet them and we will definitely be booking with them in the future! Doba and Addie will love to see you guys again! Thank you so much!!!”
“I needed a sitter on short notice and Courtney was very kind to accept a first-time guest. My dog had a great time playing all day at her house. He came home tired and happy!”
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets and have always felt most at home around them❤️ My husband and I recently moved to Colorado with our Great Pyrenees that we rescued in 2023. She is our baby and may be a little spoiled. She’s a gentle giant, who has no regard for personal space, and LOVES a new fur friend-no matter the size! Before moving to Colorado, I spent time in Los Angeles working as a full-time dog walker, where I cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. From quick 30-minute drop-ins to hour-long walks, overnight boarding, and house sitting, I’ve handled it all. Now that I’m settling into Colorado, I’m excited to bring that same reliability and care to a new community of dog owners. Your dog won’t just be walked — they’ll be in good hands! I am currently home all day, every day, so I have plenty of time to play and entertain your pups! I’m available for all services! We have a dog park that we like to go to regularly for potty breaks and exercise. I am able to kennel dogs if needed.
About: I have had pets my entire life, but as an adult only had dogs. I am a physical therapist by trade so I do have a health background. I have done insulin shots for a diabetic cat and ACL rehab for a dog. I have done bandages for small wounds from sharp rocks when hiking or a torn nail. Let me know your pups needs! I did Rover over the summer while ai was home and loved it! I do work outside my home, but my schedule and hours vary. If I need to check in on your pup or provide a snack, don’t hesitate to reach out. I do have some days where it can be 7-8 hours that I am gone, but I will let you know if that’s the case. I am married and the mom of 3 teen age girls who love dogs and want another one. They would love to cuddle, love and play with your dog while in my care! I will take your dog on daily walks with our dog pup and make sure they are happy! Our dog Tulsa loves other dogs and warms up quickly. She loves walks and hikes. She is not food aggressive at all but loves treats! Let me know what your pup needs. Tulsa is crated during our absence and I would prefer to do the same for your pup if we are out. When I am home, Tulsa gets free rein of the main floor and supervision in basement and upstairs for safety. She sleeps in my bedroom and night and I would do the same for your pup, or crate if that’s what you prefer. Tulsa is trained to ask to get on furniture but is sneaky sometimes. If your dog is allowed on furniture, we will allow that on our main sofa, but keep them off our front room sofa - it’s white. I can accommodate special diets and medication, but Tulsa does not have either of those.
“Lorriane was great with Izzy. I recently moved to the area and needed pet care on short notice. Lorriane was quick to respond and great to work with. Izzy enjoyed the stay and Lorriane kept me updated on the days activities. Without a doubt, I would use Lorriane again for pet care and we are now comfortable we have located a caring individual to look after our pet in the future. Thank you Lorriane.”
About: I grew up with a house full of animals: a black lab, chickens, goats, bunnies, turtles, snakes, and guinea pigs. That meant daily feeding routines, extensive coop and cage cleaning, all different types of playtime, and learning to read each animal's mood and body language, from a nervous rabbit to an excited lab. Because I grew up with such a wide mix, I adapt fast and pay close attention to what each individual animal needs. Dogs are where I feel most at home. I've always had a natural connection with them, and they tend to warm up to me right away. I know how to read a dog's energy, give them the attention and exercise they need, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. For me, this isn't just a job. It's genuinely one of my favorite things to do! I recently graduated and am currently job searching, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time and energy to give to pet care right now. I'm able to offer consistent attention throughout the day, whether that's multiple walks, playtime, or just being present, without having to squeeze visits around a 9-to-5. It's a great season for me to be really available and engaged for your dog, and I'll keep my profile updated as my schedule evolves. On walks and drop-in visits, your dog stays on their normal routine, same feeding times, same walk schedule, plus any specific instructions you leave me. I always check the space first so everything stays exactly as you left it. When your dog boards at my place, they get my full attention with no other pets around to compete for space or affection. My yard isn't fenced, so outdoor time is on leash to keep things safe, and indoors I keep things calm and familiar so the stay doesn't feel disruptive. Throughout any visit, I'm watching your dog's body language and energy, not just going through the motions, so I can catch anything off and keep them comfortable the whole time. Depending on your preference, I'll also send photo or text updates so you can see how they're doing while you're away.
About: I've had 2-3 dogs in my house all of my life. They are family, their comfort is my priority. I have enough room and time to make them comfortable. I am home just about everyday and have nothing but time to fuss over pets. My 2 dogs are older and quiet. I Love dogs. I have a lot of room for your pet to roam or hang out. Multiple dogs bed throughout the house and a decent sized fenced in back yard.
“Melinda was great with Zoey!, she watched her for 2 days and Zoey was completely cool with going back the 2nd day. Melinda sent us updates and pictures of Zoey during the day. I would definitely recommend Melinda, and if we return to Colorado Springz will use her again 😊❤️”
“I am so happy to have Miriam as someone that I can trust with my dog, Roxy, for anything that comes up. I am active duty military so I have trainings or cannot take Roxy to appointments sometimes. Miriam is always accommodating to what I need and Roxy loves her! So I can feel at ease knowing she is takinf great care of Roxy and that Roxy is with someone she feels safe with. Thank you Miriam!”
“Bruce had a fantastic day with their family! I know because Olivia was kind enough to send adorable pictures and videos. I am so glad I was able to find such a wonderful family that looked after him as if he were their own. I couldn’t have hoped for a better day for the little fella!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Palmer Lake commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,668 sitters in Palmer Lake, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
