“Mango is a pretty anxious pup but she had an absolute blast at Sarah's place! She got to play a bunch and came home a very tired pup! Sarah sent lots of updates which I really appreciated as well!”
“Kim, once again, was wonderful! Tika doesn't like a lot of people but she seemed genuinely happy to find herself at Kim's door again. We had forgotten about an out of town trip so booked only a few days before. Honestly, if Kim had been unavailable we would have cancelled our trip. I 100% recommend Kim if you find yourself in need of pup care!”
“Simply the best. Flexible and easy going with our ever changing schedule. But most importantly the dog never wants to come home after. Thanks for everything.”
“Courtney was great with Remy and he instantly felt at home. She took great care of him and provided tons of feedback and photos of his fun doggy vacay.”
“Laura is an amazing pet sitter. She checked in with me often and followed all of my directions. I felt totally at ease leaving my dog with her for a week. I highly recommend her.”
“Jonathan was amazing! This was my first time leaving my dog for 10 days, and he did an incredible job. Super attentive, sent lots of updates and pictures, and clearly loves animals. I felt completely at ease and would trust him again in a heartbeat! If you want to book someone, I really suggest you book him”
“Patty & Mike are the best! They are friendly and treated my dog Luna so well. They sent me pictures throughout her stay and updated me regularly. I would highly recommend!”
“Eileen and Mike gave our doggie individual attention and great care. She loved them, and they loved her. She was very much at home with them, and my family and I loved visiting with them too! They are just really great people! Recommend them 100%!”
“Tankie LOVED his stay with Christy and her little toy Aussie, Petunia! When we went to pick him up he looked at us and said, "Nope, I'm staying!". When in CO Springs I will definitely let Tankie go for another visit!”
“Christy was wonderful! My dog Kona was loved on and I received daily updates including pictures about how and what she was doing. I definitely felt more at ease leaving Kona with Christy than at a dog kennel where she’d spend much of her time alone. Christy was easy to communicate with and flexible. I highly recommend using her for pet care!”
“Meg & Rachel were super sweet and very communicative! They took my dog on lots of walks and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely use them again!”
“Samantha & Anthony were AMAZING!! Olive and Teddy had the most fun ever with them while we were on vacation. We loved getting all of the pictures and videos of our puppies and we could tell they were being cared for and loved!!”
“Nina was so well taken care of! She loved her stay and came home in a great mood. Matthew was great at sending photos and communicating. Highly recommend.”
“Twix loved his stay with Lexi! She sent many pictures each night. Lexi was very friendly and communicated well from the moment I reached out about boarding. I will definitely be booking with her again whenever needed.”
“Bryn was absolutely amazing! She sent me some of the best videos of Dwayne & kept me updated his entire stay. I would definitely recommend her!”
“This was Reggie’s first time staying anywhere for more than one night. He had a great time at Madeline & Christian’s house. They took great care of him and were very attentive with his needs as well as updating us on how his day was going. Their dog Roni & Reggie became best friends! We would love for them to host Reggie again in the future.”
“Hanui is wonderful. It’s impossible to describe in detail how truly happy my wife and I are after she looked after our Murphy. She gave him all the love and care one could ask for - even dealing with his need to sleep alongside someone. We won’t hesitate to ask her to look after him in the future. And we’re even planning on having a meet-up just so he can spend more time with her after their connection. You couldn’t ask for a better person to look after your pet.”
“Mike and Karen are wonderful! Our rescued blue heeler is not quick to accept other people, and I was concerned about finding someone to take care of him while we were on vacation. Mike and Karen’s patience and understanding with dogs (and our ACD in particular) created the trust and respect that resulted in an amazing bond. Rudy was well-loved and cared for, and the photos and updates we received put us ease. We’re so grateful!”
“She updates me all the time with pictures and videos of my doggo having fun at her place. Will absolutely come back! My doggo also loves her baby, they have so much fun together.”

“Emily was an amazing sitter. She gave great updates and was very kind and patient with our kitties. Thank you for loving our babies and sending photos each day as well!”
“Bethany and Nathan were amazing! I would highly recommend for your pets! Bethany was very respectful, communicative, knowledgeable, and trustworthy! It’s always scary leaving your fur babies in others care, but she very reassuring mine was in good hands. Stella loved the time she got with them. Thank you so much for being a great sitter for Stella! :)”
“This was my first time leaving my three cats for such an extended period (three weeks), and I was naturally very nervous about being away from them for so long. Brianna completely put my mind at ease every step of the way! From start to finish, she was incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. She made sure they were perfectly taken care of and sent regular updates that gave me total peace of mind while I was gone. It is clear she truly cares about the animals she watches, and my cats were in excellent hands. I cannot thank her enough for her exceptional care and would absolutely book her again. If you are looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter, I highly recommend Brianna.”
“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!”
“Brianne continues to be absolutely amazing! Respectful of our home, super clean (house was cleaner than when we left!), considerate to everyone's needs, very interactive with the cats, and able to learn more challenging things like helping the vet tech with our kitty's subQ fluids. Also patient with our crazy boy when he brought her a mouse and a bird (😭). Excellent communication and pictures all throughout our trip and a super hail mary when our flights all got canceled with the Dallas snow storm - she was able to flex her schedule and stay another 1-2 days to help us out (of course this may not always be the case, but I know she would do her best to accommodate any situation!). I highly recommend Brianne with no hesitation whatsoever. 😊”
About: I have experience caring for my brother’s cats, ensuring they were properly fed, engaged with regular play, and kept comfortable and well‑looked‑after while he was away.
“Dylan was super helpful feeding our cats last minute over a weekend! Our cats seemed to warm to him quickly which is big for our anxious kitty, so we were happy to leave them in good hands. He was respectful of our home and cleaned up after himself. We’d definitely use him again and recommend him to others.”
“Dixie was great! She is detail oriented and punctual and kind. I felt very confident having her look after my cat and plan on asking her to do so again!”
“Tess took such great care of my kitty! She was so attentive and caring. I appreciate that she went above and beyond to get in through all the doors in my apartment, gave my kitty fresh water and food and gave her extra love and play time! Tess truly cared about mine and my kitty’s needs. I will definitely use her in the future!”
“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!! 🐾🥰”
“Angela was amazing to our pups! After every visit, Angela sent us photos of the girls and a little review of how the visit went. She is very loving and kind with our girls, she even left them a little treat at the end of the visit! She was professional and communicative with us, and we will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I truly can’t recommend Sarah enough!!! She went above and beyond for my baby, Beerus. When he suddenly started acting not himself, she immediately stepped in, kept me updated constantly, and didn’t hesitate to take him to the ER and stay with him while everything was being checked out. That level of care responsibility and compassion is rare!!! She completely dropped everything to make sure he was okay and as a pet owner that means the world. When I got home Beerus was well taken care of and I felt so grateful knowing he was in such good hands while I was away. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet but she treated him like her own and handled a stressful situation with so much patience and attentiveness. I’m forever grateful and would absolutely trust her again. Thank you for going above and beyond for Beerus!!”
“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!”
“Bethany watched our four cats over the Fourth of July holiday and did a wonderful job! She sent pics of all four (even the skittish ones!) and updates on how everyone was doing. I will definitely rebook in the future.”

“Jerica went above and beyond for my cats and I! She drove all the way to my house in the middle of a blizzard and did exactly as instructed. I hadn’t been home in a week and she made sure to turn my heat on and turn my sink on a slow drip (after calling to make sure it was okay). I would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care. Thanks so much Jerica🫶🏻”
“This is my second time using Tabbi and Adam for my kitty and I feel so lucky to have such a great team taking care of my cat while I am gone. They give her so much love and play time and I can tell from all of the great photos and videos she loves their visits. Thank you again!!”

“Kim was a lifesaver on our trip to Colorado Springs, many of the activities we planned didn't allow dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving our doggo with her. She was super flexible on times and we even added an extra day! She sent videos and our pup was so happy when we picked him up and excited when we took him back the next day!”
“I dropped my pup Monkey off for a few hours with Sarah while my partner and I went to the hot springs. Sarah had a few other dogs in the house and she let us come in and meet the pack/ watch Monkey meet them all. One of the dogs wasn't thrilled about the new member so we decided it was best to keep the pack split. Monkey had a blast playing with a new friend outside in the yard and inside, and Sarah sent me photos and a video which I loved :) I would definitely trust Sarah again to watch my baby girl!”
“Very convenient location to have our doodle minded while we toured nearby Manitou, Pikes Peak and the COG railway. Rachel and Meg tag teamed to give our Ted a mix of indoors and outdoor activities. We would use them again but we 1500 miles away.”
“Janae has been incredible and a huge help to our family. My 5yr old husky loves spending her days with Janae and her family. We're so appreciative of all of thier hard work and flexibility when it comes to schedule changes etc. Couldn't recommend her more !!”
“Had a great experience with Tatum! She is very communicative, flexible, and willing to work with our schedules. Our pup has a great time each time she watches him!”
“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 can't say enough nice things about Hanui. Not only did she take excellent care of my dog, but she offered additional help when I was in a bind. She and her husband are outstanding people. I am grateful to them.”
“These two are the most genuine people I have met they took good care of our Rocky he is a super shy boy but he felt right at home after a little bit definitely recommend”
“Sara was so accommodating and flexible taking our pup last minute. She was super attentive and patient with our 10 month old. Can't recommend her enough!”
About: We nicknamed our home The Dachs Inn - a weenie wonderland! We’ve cared for Dachshunds for 15 years and specialize in meeting the unique needs of this breed, including dog ramps on our furniture and deck. Our home features a dog door with all-day access to a giant backyard for potty breaks, play time, sunbathing and squirrels!!! Plush dog beds are placed through the home and a giant sectional provides the perfect spot for cuddle time. Daily walks are provided, we even have a dog stroller for senior dogs or those dachshunds suffering from IVDD. I work remotely from home full time and, along with my retired husband, provide hourly drop-in care, play dates, overnight and extended boarding in our home. Additionally, I provide home visits and walking services to families located on the west side of Colorado Springs. Other locations throughout Colorado are considered on case-by-case request for extended care in your home (5 or more days). I have three dachshunds, ages 15, 10, and under 1 year. My dog-friendly home has a fenced back yard, we feed all visiting dogs separately, and can provide daily pictures of your baby’s activities. I can also provide regular weigh-ins, medications, and teeth brushing. I am very active and love going on long walks/hikes (up to three miles) upon request. While I prefer to host only smaller dogs in our home, I am open to all breeds for care at your home - including drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I kindly ask that all dogs are current on all vaccinations, including kennel cough. For medical emergencies, we are established at Westside Animal Hospital, The Animal Clinic of Woodland Park, and the Emergency Pet Center.
About: Hi, I'm Dan! My best buddy Yama was born in January of 2019, he is now a seven year old good boy. I am a former Army infantry medic and am attending graduate school remotely from my house. I grew up on a farm in Oregon where I was surrounded with all sorts of animals from a young age. I love all animals, especially dogs. My style is fairly permissive, especially with other people's dogs, but I am clear on boundaries, redirect when needed, and give lots of love and positive energy. I don't buy into the dominance theory training methodology and am a big fan of Karen Pryor's training methods. I am happy to answer any questions you have on my philosophy. I live and work at home, so we do daily walks, play time in the backyard, mental enrichment activities, and low active / layabout sessions. I work from home full-time, so your dog is never left alone for long and always has eyes on them throughout the day. My home has a securely fenced yard, and I take introductions between dogs slowly and intentionally, reading body language carefully before giving anyone free run of the space. My seven year old dog Yama is a steady, positive presence who helps visiting dogs settle in. I use positive reinforcement exclusively because a dog that feels safe and understood is a dog that behaves safely. If anything ever seems off medically or behaviorally, I'll contact you promptly - that being said, that hasn't ever happened.
“Amber was fantastic! She was incredibly friendly, and her home felt very welcoming. My dog was happy and quickly made himself comfortable. I highly recommend Amber and will definitely rebook when I'm back in Colorado Springs. She truly is the best dog sitter in the area, offering excellent service at reasonable rates. Rocky looked happier than ever!”
“We brought our dog to Carla all bandaged up with an injury and she was able to follow all of his care directions and make sure he took it easy to heal. This was all very last minute and we are so grateful she was able to help us. She truly is the best!”
“We're so appreciative of Devon taking care of Zeus! Zeus always seems calm and relaxed after spending the day with Devon. It puts our minds at ease knowing Zeus is taken care of and has someone to hang out with while we're at work 😊”
“Hally and her husband were wonderful! They were both so patient with getting my two pups comfortable in a new place. They were very communicative and kept me updated on how the dogs were settling in with lots of photos. It was clear they both love dogs and truly care about each pup in their care. Highly recommend!”
“Giselle watched our dog Benny and we felt so comfortable leaving him in her care. From the start Giselle was quick to reply to our request for care and was very flexible. She worked with Benny on his training, took him on a long walk and played with him in the yard. He is a high energy dog and she wore him out!😊 If you are looking for someone responsible, attentive and kind Giselle was perfect. I will use her in the future!”
“She is great! she accomodated us last minute and very friendly, sends picture of our toy poodle always. Surely will use her service again :)”
“He was the best at taking care of Goku and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter ! He showed great communication and made Goku feel comfortable.”

About: Hi! I'm Kaedon, and I've always been interested in understanding animals, not just taking care of them. Every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and way of communicating, and I love taking the time to earn their trust and help them feel safe while their family is away. I raised my family dog from the time he was a 7-week-old puppy, and I now have two cats. I have over four years of experience volunteering in animal shelters, where I've helped with behavior modification, enrichment, advanced dog walking, and highly anxious dogs. I also had the opportunity to volunteer at an animal rescue in Argentina, which gave me the opportunity to care for a wide variety of animals in an incredible place. Additionally, I am Fear Free Shelter Certified, so I pay close attention to body language and focus on building trust instead of forcing interactions. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I'm currently a full-time nursing student, so my availability varies depending on my classes. However, I make sure I have the time to give your pet the attention they deserve, and outside of classes, my schedule is pretty open. I tend to spoil animals - I go out of my way to treat them like royalty. I meticulously ensure pets are safe by making sure they are supervised (especially while outdoors) and by keeping any potential hazards inaccessible. I exclusively utilize positive reinforcement to reward good behavior instead of punishing unwanted ones.
About: I enjoy dogs more than people. When I used to live on Guam, there was a period i was watching 4 dogs, 2 of which were mine. One happened to be a pit bull, and another happened to be rottweiler. The other 2 were medium sized. Now, that I am no longer in Guam I have 3 dogs that me and my wife take care of. I have my 2 from Guam. I havent been around all types of dogs, but I really enjoy them all. I find their different personalities and their energy levels interesting. I enjoy walking my dogs, so I think it would be fun to walk other peoples dogs. When I’m not working and time permits, i like taking my pups hiking in the mountains with me. Thank you for checking out my profile ! I walk my three girls at least five days a week. And when I have a day off, i love taking them into the mountains. Each dog is different. Different pup parents have different plans for their babies, so their rules come first. But if permitted, i would love to share the same trails I explore with our four legged partners.
About: I have had dogs and cats for along time. First was pomeranian, dachshund, two golden retrievers. One golden(Nala) lived to 13 my other golden (Jude) lived to be 12. I love having a dog. Need time to heal. That is why I would love taking care of your dog. I am retired. I am home the majority of the day. Plenty of time to cuddle,play,walk,ball throwing anything your furry baby would like to do. I have a fenced yard. Plenty of room for them to run around and play. I have one cat. Your fur baby would need to get along with cats if boarding in my home.
“Dylan was great, he is attentive and caring and took care of my pets in an exceptional manner. This is the first time I leave my pets in the care of someone else and I couldn’t be happier. He is definitely trustworthy and definitely the choice to make. My dogs were in good hands, they love him and I am forever grateful. Thank you”
About: Hi! I'm Angela, a loving pet sitter in Colorado Springs. I've had my rescued dog (from the Humane Society) for 5 happy years — he's my best buddy and taught me so much about patience and care. I also volunteered at PetSmart with adoptions, where I walked dogs, helped with events, and supported pets finding their forever homes. I bring that same gentle, patient energy to every sit — whether it's a quick walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay. I’m reliable, send photos/videos during visits, and always follow your routine exactly. Free meet-and-greet so you and your pup can feel comfortable first! Available evenings after 6 p.m., and weekends. Message me — I'd love to meet you and your furry friend! 🐾" I'm currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup. I'm happily available for pet care in the early mornings (before 11 a.m. most days), evenings after 6 p.m., and full weekends. I take care of pets in your home by treating your space and your pet like my own — with gentleness, respect, and close attention to detail. I care for pets in your home by following your routine exactly — feeding, walks, play, meds, and potty breaks. I keep everything safe (doors closed, hazards checked), send photos/videos during visits, and leave your home tidy. I’m gentle, patient, and treat your pet like family while respecting your space completely. Free meet-and-greet so you and your pet feel comfortable first!
About: I have years of hands-on dog care experience, starting with taking care of my family's dogs since I was 10, which taught me responsibility and patience, and daily pet care routines from a young age. As an independent dog walker and pet sitter, I've provided daily walks, feeding, playtime, and medication reminders. Pet care fits smoothly into my daily and weekly routine because I balance it alongside being a full‑time college student. I plan my schedule carefully, which allows me to set consistent times for feeding, walks, play, and check‑ins. Whether it’s morning walks before class, I will make sure each pet gets reliable attention and care. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment whether the pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in the client’s home. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible including feeding times, walks, play, bathroom breaks, and any medication instructions. I make sure fresh water is always available, keep the space clean, and monitor behavior for signs of stress or discomfort.

“Mackenzie was so awesome! She was so sweet to my pup and really took care of him. She was prompt on his walking schedule, and she gave excellent updates on every walk. I was so happy every time she shared what they did on his walks, which eased my mind greatly. I will definitely rebook with Mackenzie in the future, she was great!”
About: I have taken care of animals nearly my entire life. I grew up working on my aunt's horse ranch, I'm a volunteer advanced dog walker for the humane society, and I do volunteer animal care for wolf dogs at the wolf and wildlife rescue. I've had a lifelong love and appreciation for animals, and I have the skills & patience to make sure their needs are met. I'm currently retired from the military, so spend my day taking care of my own animals as well as volunteering at the humane society and wolf and wildlife rescue. I frequently go on neighborhood walks, and would love to share those walks with neighborhood pups. I have fully fenced yard, and over fifteen years of experience providing animal care. I have a deep love and respect for animals. I'm observant, and will be patient and attentive to any pup under my care.
“Tess was incredible! Her previous experience as a dog trainer really came in handy when meeting my boy. She was thorough in her report cards, giving plenty of updates. She even helped prevent my package from getting stolen by bringing it inside for me lol. Loved working with her and would definitely want to again for walks! Thanks again!!”

I live a block from Bear Creek dog park and love to take dogs on walks multiple times throughout the day. Safety is my absolute priority. I maintain a structured, low stress environment, to ensure my two older children, my friendly resident cat, and your pet all coexist safely. My cat has a dedicated safe zone blocked off from guest pets if needed. My children are highly trained around animals and all interactions are 100% supervised.

“Jessi has done a wonderful job walking our dog. She is constantly working with our young dog to help with training and also making sure he gets all his energy out.

“Sarah was amazing with my pup and went out of her way to meet him in person prior to booking. She sent multiple photos of him every day, was quick to respond to my messages and great at handling him! This was my first time using Rover and I will definitely be using again!”
“Jennie was very flexible and accomodating with scheduling an initial meeting and walking our dog while we had a last minute trip out of town. He can be a handful on walks and she did really well with him! On top of that, our flight got cancelled and Jennie was nice enough to walk and feed our dog an extra night and morning before we could get home! I really appreciated that she didn't just leave him to fend for himself alone and made time in her schedule to help us out!”

I highly recommend using her for pet care!”
“Meg & Rachel were super sweet and very communicative! They took my dog on lots of walks and sent lots of pictures. We will definitely use them again!”
“Nina was so well taken care of! She loved her stay and came home in a great mood. Matthew was great at sending photos and communicating. Highly recommend.”
“Twix loved his stay with Lexi! She sent many pictures each night. Lexi was very friendly and communicated well from the moment I reached out about boarding. I will definitely be booking with her again whenever needed.”
“This was Reggie’s first time staying anywhere for more than one night. He had a great time at Madeline & Christian’s house. They took great care of him and were very attentive with his needs as well as updating us on how his day was going. Their dog Roni & Reggie became best friends! We would love for them to host Reggie again in the future.”
“She updates me all the time with pictures and videos of my doggo having fun at her place. Will absolutely come back! My doggo also loves her baby, they have so much fun together.”
“Brianna was the best sitter I’ve ever used from Rover! She treated Buddy like he was part of her family, took him on many walks, and sent so many updates throughout his stay with them. She is a true dog lover, and I would love to have her watch Buddy again.”
“My pup loves staying with Laura! Laura is communicative, warm, and friendly and my pup gets so excited when she realizes where we’re headed in the car. When my pup needed to take medication while I was away, Laura was great about making sure she got her meds on time and sent many messages to reassure me that my pup was doing well. Will certainly be reaching out to Laura again in the future!”
“We left Redbo and Dalton with Matthew for four days, and it was great! Matthew was super communicative and sent tons of photos of the boys, which we appreciated. We’ve also been trying to get Dalton to jump on our couch for months, and Matthew was able to accomplish this goal. Hopefully those skills transfer to our house lol. We are so glad we found Matthew on Rover, and we’re already looking forward to our next trip. He took such good care of Redbo and Dalton. Thank you, Matthew!”
“LeAnndra was fantastic! She watched my two kitties for two days and there were absolutely no issues. She was super responsive and made sure my babies were taken care of.”
“Charlotte was GREAT with our dog, Addie! We left Addie in Charlotte's care for a week while we traveled to the midwest for my sister's wedding, and I never had a worry while we were gone! We will definitely book with Charlotte again the next time we go out of town!”
“Cedar really helped us out by watching our Zelda at the last minute. She sent lots of pictures and communicated with me the whole time. Our Zelda was well loved and taken care of. Thanks again!”
“Courtney is amazing!! We felt completely at ease with leaving Goose with her and she even was able to accommodate goose’s really extra feeding routine lol 100/10 recommend!!”
“Aislinn took amazing care of our dog Milo!!! She sent lots of photos and checked in to let us know how he was doing. I highly recommend her!!! Thanks for being so sweet to our baby!”
