“Amanda was super great! Highly recommend! They came over every day at the scheduled time and made sure Wheezy Cats food and water were topped off and gave him treats and lots of pets. He is super slow to warm up to other people but they got lap cuddles on day 2! Which is an accomplishment, you can tell they are big animal lovers. I was able to add a day on last minute and they also refilled the house humidifiers for me which was really nice of them! I’ll be using them again when I have to be out of town. Thank you for taking such good care of my Cat BFF and my little Betta Fish !!”

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.

About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals—-dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs etc. I’m a very detail oriented person and I love when an owner gives me as much detail as possible in order to take the best care of their baby ☺️ I’ve taken care of dogs of different breeds, all sizes and dogs with different needs (helping a dog thru a weight loss journey, anxious shy dogs, dogs that require medication etc). I love animals more than I love people and it shows! Anytime I meet someone’s pet, they’re always drawn to me and I feel very honored by that! I’m extremely patient and calm with animals because I have had my own pets who had special needs. I’m currently new to the Colorado Springs area and doing gig work, so I can be available to check on your pets anytime throughout the day! I treat a clients home with the utmost respect and only go where authorized or use only what the client tells me to for their pet! I’m very attentive to pets’ safety and I will treat your baby with the love and respect that I treat my own with ☺️
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
“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.”

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 - three days a week - but am still able to dog-sit during those parts of the week as well. Fridays-Mondays I can be present most of the day and will only be gone 4 hours at a time. 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. Just a quick heads-up! For privacy reasons, I’m only able to accept bookings in homes without indoor cameras. Thank you for understanding and respecting this boundary!
About: I have experience walking large dogs that pull a lot and am happy to take your dog on a hike. I will respect whatever routine for your dog you are most comfortable with. A little about myself, I am currently studying for the LSAT so I will be doing Rover and that. I don’t have other commitments besides the LSAT so am very flexible. I have plenty of time to spend giving your dog attention and making sure all his/her needs are met. I am studying for the LSAT at home, and just quit my full time job, so I will have plenty of time to give your dog the care he/she deserves I have an invisible fence for my own dog, but I will put your dog on a leash when I take him/her out to make sure they are safe. I will respect your wishes.
About: I have been pet-sitting for friends and family since I was 14. I work remotely and am able to stay with your dogs/cats during the day if necessary. I love being active and taking dogs to the park or on walks everyday. I am a dependable sitter who has experience with both, puppies and elder dogs. I have sat for dogs with disabilities as well (blind, specific medication needed). My schedule is very flexible. Since I work remotely, I can house-sit and dog/cat-sit any day of the week for however long or whatever hours you need me. I am also free to walk the dogs multiple times a day as well. I am a trustworthy 25 year old woman who will respect your home and treat it as if it were my own. I always clean up after myself and respect the rules of the house-owner. I can be available 24/7 via my phone for updates/check-ins if needed.
About: I have been a dog and cat owner for more than 40 years, and caring for animals has always been a meaningful part of my life. I currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with their care. I am responsible, dependable, attentive to detail, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine. Communication is also important to me. I am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals. Spending time with dogs and cats is something I enjoy, and I would be honored to care for your pets and give them the same patience, affection, and attention I give my own. I primarily work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and care throughout the day. I am able to be attentive to their individual routines and needs rather than simply stopping by and rushing out. I treat every pet in my care as an individual. I am happy to follow your instructions about feeding schedules, medications, exercise, crate routines, and other preferences that help your pet feel comfortable and secure while you are away. I also understand that some pets need a little extra patience and reassurance when their people are gone.
“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!”

“Kyla took WONDERFUL care of our senior kitty, Dori! Dori took to her right away, and Kyla gave her so much attention and TLC and did such a great job following Dori’s routine. We had a much more enjoyable trip knowing our fur baby was happy at home and getting personalized love and care! Kyla was incredible—we couldn’t ask for a better, more trustworthy caregiver—and we’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”

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: Hi my name is Daniel. Dogs and cats are my favorite kind of pets. I would love to help you take care of yours while you're busy working or on vacation. Can't wait to meet you and your pets! :) Currently my schedule is open that I will be available to care for your pets any time that you would need someone to care for them! I'll care for your dogs or cats in whichever way you as their owner would like me to. We can try our best to not change up your animal's routine too much while their owners are away
About: I've been around animals my whole life. Growing up, my family had golden retrievers, a lab/malamute mix, five cats, and even horses and goats, so I'm comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. In my adult life, I've owned, trained and cared for a bloodhound/coonhound mix as well as our current Australian/German Shepherd. Feeding, litter boxes, medications, and daily routines are second nature. Our Australian/German shepherd mix is super anxious, which has helped me to be a patient caretaker who knows how to read a nervous pet and build trust slowly. I'm also experienced with basic obedience and giving medications. I'm active and love being outdoors, so dogs get whatever suits them best: neighborhood walks, trail hikes, runs, playtime, light training sessions, or a lazy day on the couch. I skip dog parks because they can be unpredictable. You can expect prompt, proactive communication and regular photo updates, so you never have to wonder how things are going. I work remotely. During a house sit I'm at your home for most of the day and can let your dog out, walk them, and keep them company throughout. I may have a couple of hours of family commitments some mornings, and I'll always tell you upfront and plan around your pet's needs. I'm available for holidays and longer stays and can usually adjust my schedule with one to three days of notice. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks in your home and neighborhood, and I follow your rules, whatever they are. Before any stay, I'd like a meet and greet so your pet and I can get comfortable and so I can learn their routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any triggers. Dog walks are always on a secure leash, and I keep gates, doors, and windows closed so there are no prison breaks. I'll respect your household rules on furniture, crates, and where your pets sleep. Your home is treated with care, and I won't bring guests, my own dog, or my kids. I have a local vet and I'll follow your emergency plan if anything comes up. If anything seems off, I'll contact you right away. I take aggressive dogs on a case-by-case basis after talking with you first and meeting him or her to see if there's a fit.
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 taken care of dogs my whole life. When I was little, we used to breed dogs so I have puppy care. I work with dogs from puppies to older dogs. I give meds to dogs feed dogs on the daily. I have a full time job at a dog daycare. My shifts are 9 hours. I usually work either 6:30-3:30 or 8:00-5:00. Other than that my schedule is all yours! In my home I take my dog to go to the bathroom every hour. They have fresh water. They get fed at the same time everyday. I always put my animals before myself.
About: I grew up with a family dog, Chase, and for 17 years he grew my love for dogs. Once he passed I was in college and took every opportunity to care for other good buddies like him. Friends know that if they ask me to walk or care for their pup I will go above and beyond to make their buddy feel special and cared for when they aren't able. No one can replace you in your dog's eyes, but I'll fill the hole as close as possible. I have a pretty flexible work schedule so I can work with the needs of your pet throughout the week. I also have my own dog, so can combine walks/play or keep them separate! Does your dog love walks and playing fetch? Me too! I am very cautious when it comes to the safety of your pup, so I will strictly follow any guidelines you have as well as get to know your pup so I can better care for their needs. You can trust me to care for your dog as well as your space, I firmly believe in the power of coming home to a clean space, so don't worry we won't be making a mess while you're gone!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmer Lake
Megan is the best! She's helped us with check ins for our many animals and is so great with all of them. Most recently, she did mid day check ins for an entire week while we were on vacation and our house sitter was at work. This helped out us out tremendously and we are so thankful for her. She is so sweet, professional and dependable. Her communication is excellent. Thank you for everything, Megan!! Until next time! 😊

Amanda was super great! Highly recommend! They came over every day at the scheduled time and made sure Wheezy Cats food and water were topped off and gave him treats and lots of pets.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Palmer Lake is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $36 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 5,223 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palmer Lake. 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
