“Megan was a 5 star sitter for us! She watched our elderly cat while we were on vacation (2 drop ins a day) and even administered her meds twice daily. Her updates for every drop in were perfect and she followed directions to a T. She even brought in our packages and garbage cans for us. We will definitely book with her again. Thanks for everything, Megan! Ginger looked very happy and well cared for when we arrived home. 🥰”
“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!!”
About: I graduated with a 4.0 in Vet Assisting at PIMA. I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I personally own a 5 year old English Bulldog, a 13 year old cat and my 12 year old leopard gecko has passed. I love animal-loving people, animals and helping them! I have full availability at the moment as I look for other employment. I would love to give some of my attention to a pet in need of sitting or daily walks! My dog stays in a crate while I'm away from home and at night. He likes to snuggle every morning. We go to the dog park at least twice a week. My cat always has food, fresh water, and a cleaned daily litter box. My lizard had a clean cage and was fed 1 to every 3 days with meal worms or a super worm as a treat.
About: Our pets are our family and they should be treated as such ❤️. I am a full time nurse and do not need this job but I have two dogs that were very difficult and stubborn to train and I would have loved to have someone like me to be there if I went out of town or on vacation because I only ever trusted myself with them. I never went on vacation in their younger years because I was so scared someone would be mean to them or not care for them like I would if I boarded them. So I have decided to do this part time because every pet should be treated with love and care because they ARE our family ❤️🐾. I assure you, you won’t be disappointed if you trusted me with your family. I love all animals so much and quite frankly we don’t deserve their love and loyalty ❤️. Please choose me! I am working full time so I won’t be able to take all jobs but please reach out and I will try to make it happen. My schedule fluctuates so I can’t give certain days but if I am off work I will be there. I will treat your dog as you would just let me know any restrictions, dietary concerns, medications if they take them, certain ways they like things done or special things you would like done for your loved one and it will be done.
“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: I grew up with 6 bulldogs who needed attention both medically, physically, and emotionally. I genuinely love dogs and treat all of them like my own; understanding that dogs are family! I recently graduated from high school ant Palmer Ridge and am attending HVAC school in the fall at Pikes Peak ( this program will be part-time leaving me time to care for dogs). I enjoy caring for dogs in their own environment as I have found many dogs become stressed when they have to adapt to new environments. I appreciate detailed instructions on your dogs feeding and activity level to in order to best take care of them!
“Debra took good care of Nixon. My husband was out of town for the week and I work long days. She let him and would play chase around our dining room table! She sent daily check-ins and some pictures too! Thanks for taking care of our Nixon!”
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.
“Emily was great! This was our first time leaving our dog in the care of someone other than family and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Emily kept in contact with me throughout the day and wanted to make sure that there was a plan in place for Lola in case we weren’t able to make it back home in time.”
About: I have had a dog since I was 4, who recently passed but am friends with many more friends that have dogs, and I have dogsat for them too! I take care of pets every day, I also take care of my friends dogs! I have also cared for cats, I love pets and could fit them into my daily and weekly very well! I will play, walk, feed, any pet depending on the owners needs! I care deeply for animals and will make sure they get the love they deserve!
“Kaitlyn was great, my cats loved her for sure! Would definitively recommend and will book with her in the future if possible! Thank you so much for all your help!!”
About: I have taken care of my own dogs for years and love everything about them and happy to take care of everyone’s dog no matter how they are I have experienced bathing them and feeding and walking and playing with them It fits into my daily routine as everyday day I feed and walk both my cat and dogs throughout the day when I am not at work I care for them with the upmost respect and love since these little animals are my favorite! I am the kind of person who will give your animal the best possible experience I can offer
“Amber did a phenomenal job with our cat Mila.Our actual sitter cancelled on us for thanksgiving last second and Amber was able to accommodate Mila for drop ins. She went above and beyond for her care. Mila is an anxious one and we found TV on with some animal sounds to keep her company while we were gone. Definitely recommend!”
“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!”
About: Hi there 😊 I have over 20 years of professional Pet Care experience and a lifetime spent personally caring for/loving pets. I have previously worked for a prestigious pet sitting company back in my home town (Chicago), where I worked hard to earn my way up to Manager there. I have worked at Emergency Veterinary Hospitals and at day time Veterinary Hospitals as a Vet Tech, as a Client Care Coordinator and also as an Assistant Office Manager. I have also taken care of small animals as an Animal Care Specialist at Petsmart and enjoy caring for pets of all sizes/ages/needs. I truly value all of my Pet Care experience and am happy to bring that professional experience to your fur family! 🩷 I grew up around dogs, cats, fish and small animals. I believe a home is empty without a pet, because they truly become a part of your family 🥹. I have 2 wonderful fur babies of my own and also help take care of my Brother’s cat (due to my Brother being special needs). I help take care of my special needs Brother as well and truly enjoy helping others. When I am not taking care of everyone, you can find me living my next passion, which is aviation. I have a huge professional background in aviation and am also a private pilot. My goal with flying is to complete as many Pilots N Paws missions as possible. I got to do my very first mission on my birthday and it made for the best birthday ever! 🤗 I was also volunteer at The Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg and plan to do more volunteer work with local animal sanctuaries/shelters in the near future. I will always care for your fur baby as if he/she were my own and will always treat them with unconditional love! I am very detail orientated and will always try to make sure your fur baby has the same routine with me that they normally have with you. I will also keep everything very clean and better than I found it. My life’s motto is leave everything better than you found it and leave everyone better than you found them. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to ask. I am happy to share my full professional history at anytime ☺️. ~~New to Rover?

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Palmer Lake on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,273 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Palmer Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.
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 Palmer Lake. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
