About: I've taken care of dogs of all sizes and ages, as young as 5 months. I've also taken care of cats and livestock. I'm happy to watch puppies or senior dogs in need of medication. I can be patient with fearful pets and give them their space. I've worked as a stall cleaner, and I've been house sitting since 2021. I've also volunteered cleaning dog kennels at a shelter. I'm starting to do some photography so I'm available majority of the day, aside from occasional errands or meetups. I can do most photography work right from your home. I do my best to keep your pets on their regular schedule. When house sitting, I follow all the client's rules and respect how the house runs, and do my best to keep to your pet's schedule. Depending on preference, I'm happy to send pictures and updates each day.

About: I’ve worked in vet med for about 3 years. I’ve always owned animals. I currently have 2 dogs, a 6 yr old golden lab and a 5 year old pittie. Family and friends trust me well enough to care for their babies. Im a stay at home mom just trying to make some extra money. I love staying home with my child so if I’m able to bring in some extra income by also caring for pets(which i love) it would be a dream I can easily crate your dog if needed. I would give all the love and cuddles to the pups if they enjoy that. I want to make them as less stressed as possible while you owners are away.

About: *I do require all dogs to be UTD on all their shots; proof will be required* Hello! My name is Tyffanie and I have taken care of dogs and other animals for as long as I can remember. As a kid my family always had fur babies in the house, and as an adult I have had fur babies of my own as well! I will treat your baby as my own and send picture and video updates throughout their stay with me. I currently work full-time in my home as a daycare provider, so I will have plenty of time to care for your babies all day and ensure they are getting the love, attention, and potty breaks they need. I have a big fenced in yard for play and potty breaks as well as three very friendly dogs to keep your pets company! All pets sleep inside the home, I do ask for crates in order to create a safe space for all involved, especially at night. I can and do board multiple dogs that can be from multiple families but always limit this to a safe number.

“Abigail was AMAZING. I needed a last minute sitter (the original one I booked ghosted me) and she was able to help me in a pinch. My super shy cat really opened up to her right away. Abigail sent me so many photos of him getting lots of love and pets. Her communication style was great. She texted me when she got there and when she would leave, plus gave me reports in addition to rover report cards. Very happy I booked with her and will use her again! Thanks, Abigail!”

About: I absolutely love my job at Rover. I'm a lover of all animals. Unfortunately, I don't have any pets of my own because of the stipulations in my lease. The good thing is...I get to take care of and love on YOURS!! So alittle bit about me. I've had dogs since the age of 9 and that's when my parents instilled in me the responsibilities of pet ownership. Our first puppy was a miniature "Party" (with black & white markings) Poodle named Gigi. We had her until she passed at the ripe old age of 15. I was raised in a home where we treat our pets as family. And man, our dogs were spoiled! We've had all our dogs from puppies until they passed of old age (around 14, 15, 16 years old). Now, that's a long time in dog years!! When my son was a toddler, we stumbled upon our first pet. 🐟 It was a goldfish (a feeder fish) that he won at a carnival that was set up in the parking lot of Chapel Hills Mall. That fish ended up living for a very long time. Like 5 years! 🙄 Shortly after that, our pet family kept growing. We've had all kinds of pets from fish 🐟 to 🐚 hermit crabs, dwarf hamsters 🐹 (Scooby & Scrappy), 🦜 a bird (finch), a lop earred bunny named Maizey 🐇, our corn snake named (Phantom) 🪱 and our fat cat named Breckenridge. 🐈 Every one of my family members has had their own pets as well. Two or more dogs from 🐩 Toy Poodles to 🦮 Labrador Retrievers. I started out pet sitting for most of my friends and of course for all of my family members. I can care for animals from Babies through Senior age. Because all of my own animals lived into old age, many needed medications just like adults do when we get old. They've been diabetic, needed special diets, medications in drops, pills and needle forms. I've done it all. If you choose me to provide your pet care, I will take care of your dog(s), cat(s) or other animal(s) just like they are my own. I will love and spoil them while you're away. Maybe they won't even notice that you're gone. 🤣 If I'm providing overnight housesitting care and if you allow your pet(s) on the furniture, I have no problem with them sleeping with me at night. I wouldn't want to change their routine and most are pretty warm little heaters when they sleep next to you. I've bathed, clipped nails, brushed/groomed, cut hair and administered medications. A few of the dogs that I've cared for have or have had diabetes that require special diets, insulin injections and oral medications. I promise, your dog(s), cat(s) or other pet(s) will get lots of love, attention, playtime and spoiling while you're away. I'll provide as many pictures and videos as I can. Heck, I bet they'll miss me when I'm gone. 🥰 Cash Tips are very much appreciated! Rover DOES take a higher percentage of my pay from my earnings than I'd like. I am available full time. I'm retired from the corporate world. Rover is my full-time job of choice and I love what I do! I do go out with my friends from time to time. I'll never be far from your home or outside of the Colorado Springs area. I'm never out longer than a few to possibly 5/6 hours at a time. If I have a scheduled event that takes me out of the house for longer than a few hours, I will communicate that so we can plan appropriately. I'm super excited to take care of your pup/kitten or senior dog/cat while you're away. The whole point of going on vacation is to have fun and enjoy yourself, but at the same time, having peace of mind knowing that your pet(s) are in good hands and being taken care. I CANNOT care for your pet(s) in my home because my lease doesn't allow animals. However, statistically, pet(s) are more calm and comfortable in their own home and familiar surroundings.

About: Every dog I meet is my new best friend, and I truly mean that! Whether I’m out for a walk, at a gathering, or preparing to care for a pup, I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Growing up, I helped care for my family’s pets, including a beagle, two Great Danes, and several collies. I’ve also pet-sat for friends with golden retrievers, huskies, and more. Whether your dog needs playtime, a long walk, or just some extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure they feel happy and loved while you’re away! I am a freelance musician and teacher in the Colorado Springs area. My flexible hours allow me to focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m also available at all times of the day, though my schedule varies from week to week—feel free to reach out, and I’d be happy to work out a time that fits your needs! I understand how important routine is for pets, and I am dedicated to keeping them on a schedule that feels familiar and comfortable. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or bedtime, I do my best to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Maintaining consistency helps reduce stress and ensures your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have 2 years experience working at a shelter where I was responsible for feeding, walking and maintaining the kennels. My husband and I have 2 large dogs whom we love and spoil. I am very responsible and hardworking. I am very new to the area and currently a stay at home dog mom. I have a very flexible schedule and my own car so I am available to be anywhere at anytime. I grew up in a military household and have carried that respect and integrity throughout my adulthood. I will follow any and all household instructions and make sure your pets are safe, taken care of and cuddled.

Katie was amazing! She watched our two cats for 3 weeks, following everything to the letter. She communicated a ton with us through pictures and messages to let us know the cats were doing well. That allowed us to have a nice vacation and we really appreciated it. Katie is a must book if you have any pet care needs!

Due to unforeseen circumstances, we were in need of a last-minute dog sitter. I checked Rover and found Josh‘s profile and contacted him right away. He returned my message within a short amount of time we spoke about expectations and needs and about Zeus 140 pound Rottweiler some even seasoned dog sitters would have been intimidated but not Josh Josh took the time to meet Zeus the day prior to needing Care and want him over within no time. We left out of town, knowing that Zeus would be well cared for even after only meeting Josh once. We got updates each time. Josh visited Zeus. We got pictures and best of all we had peace of mind. Thank you, Josh for being so great to Zeus. We recommend you to anybody who needs help with their pups while away.

We had such a great experience with Lauren! This was our first time ever leaving our dog with anyone other than immediate family, so we were definitely a little nervous going into it! She made the whole experience so easy and reassuring by being incredibly communicative, reliable, and attentive. She went above and beyond with everything that she did! Long walks, sticking around in the evening so Harley would eat, and even remembered that our dog loves to wear pajamas to sleep. It was clear that Harley was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful we found her and would absolutely love to have her watch our dog again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Security-Widefield

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Security-Widefield is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 November 2026, there are 2,220 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Security-Widefield. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Security-Widefield. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
