Pet Sitting Southwest Colorado Springs

About: Leaving a furry family member at home while on a trip can be a stressful experience but rest assured, they're safe with me! With my time on Rover, I have taken care of everything from dogs to sugar gliders! I love being around animals and have been around dogs nearly all of my life. The pictures on my profile are some of the furry friends I've made along the way! I work a restaurant job part time Friday and Saturday mornings and could be gone anywhere from 2 to 5 hours during those days. Sunday through Thursday I have free to give your pet(s) the utmost attention they deserve! I am only able to do in-client home care and will adhere to any requests or instructions you may have regarding the care of your furry family member and house. Finding someone to stay in your home and care for your pet(s) can be a stressful experience, but it doesn't have to be with me as their sitter. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have and we can see if it's a good fit!

“Bethany was fabulous! She was incredibly patient with my shy/anxious dog warming up to her, and very communicative. I will certainly book again if I am in the area!”

“Bre was AWESOME! Our kitty Mango absolutely loved her (he was probably bummed when we walked back in the door and not her lol) and she took excellent care of him. He was a very happy camper upon our return :) She was super organized and took note of his care instructions at the meet-and-greet, and sent us awesome updates at each visit. Highly recommend!!”

“Mara is great. She loves our doggos and goes the extra mile for them. She communicates very well. We would have her watch them every time if she’s available!”

Sean F.

“Brianne is very attentive, caring, and flexible. We had a wonderful experience with her and our pets loved her! We will absolutely re-book with her in the future. Thank you for everything!”

“Tess is AMAZING. She is so thorough and sends very detailed updates! It is so nice to not worry about our fur babies and know they are being loved and taken care of!”

Allie F.

“Our cat adored chris! Followed instructions and kept our cat company while we were away for the week. Will be requesting again in the future!”

“Thanks again Nancy for taking care of Zeke. He loves the toy you brought him, it’s the longest I’ve seen a toy last so it must be special to him.”

About: I would love to care for your animals! I grew up on a horse farm and have experience caring for and loving all kinds of animals. I currently have one super energetic pitty mix, a selective German Shepherd, and a sweet long-haired feline, all of whom I love dearly. My pets range from chill to a little wild, so you can trust that I'll be able to meet your pet’s needs. And that I’ll love them as if they’re my own! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to check in, feed, and care for their fur babies. On weekdays, I am off work by 3pm. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule!! On weekends, I’m available most of the day! When I drop in, my main goal is to keep your pets happy, safe, and right on their normal routine so you don't have to worry. Whether that means taking your dog for a brisk walk, scooping the litter box, or just hanging out on the couch for belly rubs, I tailor every visit to exactly what your pets need that day. Before I head out, I'll send over a quick recap of how it went and a few photos so you know they are doing well. To make sure we are a great fit, I require a quick meet & greet for all new dogs before booking, and I strongly prefer one for cats too so I can meet them and learn where you keep the supplies!

“Rebecca is AMAZING! Highly recommended. Walter felt instantly welcomed and loved when they first met, we knew it would be a great match. When we came home from our ski day, he was so happy! We also came back to a hand wrote note from Rebecca - which is so unheard of! We were provided photos throughout the visits, and Rebecca kept us informed throughout her visit. Can’t want to continue to have Walter loved on by Rebecca!! 🐾🥰”

“Darlene was absolutely wonderful! This was our first time on Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Darlene sent detailed reports and pictures of our 2 cats and it was obvious that she took extra time and effort making sure that they were happy and loved. Great communication throughout, only good things to say. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who clearly cares very much for animals and is intent on doing a good job. Thanks Darlene!”

Zoe S.

“Dixie did two stop in visits for our dogs while we were on a day trip and she took them on a long walk for the first trip without us even asking! She is very timely and we would book her again!”

About: With 27 years of pet sitting under my belt, I’m practically a pet whisperer! Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime, or making sure your fur babies feel right at home, I’m here to give them the VIP treatment. You can relax knowing your pets are in loving, experienced hands! I absolutely adore animals, but since we travel to China for a couple of months each year to visit family, I can’t have a pet of my own. Lucky for your furry friends, that means we get to spoil them just like my own! As a stay-at-home parent, pet care is a natural part of my day, so they’ll get tons of love, playtime, and attention. Your pets will feel like part of the family while you’re away, and you can rest easy knowing they’re in great hands! Since I don’t have pets of my own, your furry companion will receive my full, undivided attention. They’ll be treated like family, with the freedom to roam the house and explore at their own pace. Whether it’s playtime in the backyard or cozying up inside, I’ll ensure they’re always supervised and safe. Your pet will have a blast with all the love, care, and personal attention they deserve, and you’ll have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

“Abigail was so professional and a delight! Daisy loved her, and Abigail went above and beyond giving her attention. She also checked in and provided pictures. I’m so grateful!”

About: A loving home away from home for your beloved pet! Conveniently located in Cheyenne Meadows area of Colorado Springs near Ft. Carson just minutes from the I-25 fwy and 115. Fully fenced backyard and pet-friendly rooms inside the home. I have lots of experience with many breeds of puppies and dogs, as well as disabled and senior dogs. Since I work from home and my schedule is very flexible, I'm able to give furry friends lots of care and attention. My dogs get along well with other dogs of all sizes and varieties. If you choose, I can keep you updated on how your pet is doing and send pics. I will help make your time away as worry-free as can be while your pooch enjoys this pet's paradise! Pet care is my daily priority! I'm primarily retired, but when I work, it's from home so I can give my two pups and any guest pets lots of attention and love. My home is very pet friendly. For guest pets, it's like a visit to granny's house. It's safe and fun. I'm happy to discipline as instructed by the owners and with positivity and lots of love. I have a fully fenced backyard. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds.

“My kitty cat never came out to visit with Megan, but Megan faithfully came in to check on her and assured me she was still alive! Megan was willing to work with me on short notice! Thanks!”

“Anne was fantastic. Our huskies can be pretty standoffish with new people, but they loved Anne based on the many pictures she provided during her visits. Our boy dog was even humping her by the end of her last visit; sorry about that again... She went above and beyond by drying them off when it rained and picking up their poop every potty break. She took the time to learn each dog's playing style and where they like their scratches. We will be using her again!”

Joel K.

“Dan is absolutely amazing—it honestly brings tears to my eyes thinking about how well he takes care of our dogs while we’re away. He’s reliable, thoughtful, and truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Thank you so much, Dan!”

About: I grew up in a family full of animal lovers. We had cats, dogs, birds, rats, guinea pigs and even horses. When I was a kid I wanted to be veterinarian, but I ended up becoming a software engineer instead. Working remote grants me the freedom to put my love for animals to good use as your on-call back up pet parent. After getting a dog of my own, I realized how important it is to have back-up pet care available for when life gets busy. Travel, work, vacations or whatever else you may not be able to bring your furry friend along for, it's my honor to provide peace of mind while you are away. Don't be afraid to ask me for customization or modifications to your booking. I am more than happy to tailor time frame, price, responsibilities and expectations to exactly what you need for your pup. No request is too difficult. I will do my best to accommodate! Be communicative and explicit about the needs of you and your animals. We'll figure it out! I work a 9-5 Monday-Friday as a software engineer. Outside of meetings I have lots of flexibility to accommodate you and your schedule. I'll work with you 1:1 to figure out exactly what booking details work best for you and your pet(s)! (Additional services such as house cleaning, animal grooming or off-hours visits may include a small up-charge, but I am more than happy to provide these services as I am able) I do not board or care for animals in my own home, as I have 2 pets of my own and my home is their sanctuary :) Just as your home is your animals sanctuary, where they likely feel most comfortable, I think this is the best option for all involved. I've interacted with many animals of all temperaments. I prefer slow introductions, and allowing your pet to get comfortable with me at their own pace.

“We love Bailey! She is so great with our puppies! We were so happy to find her!! ❤️❤️”
