“Kim was great. Excellent communication. Sent Lots of pictures and made us feel at ease knowing our pup was in such great care while we were out of town!”
“Gayle is wonderful and always took great care of my dog over the past year. It felt like I was bringing him to a family member’s home versus a sitter’s and that’s exactly the kind of feeling you want to have. 🙂 I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Laura took great care of my pup! She sent lots of pics and updates of all their activities. It was great knowing he was well cared for while I was away!”
“Hally provides an exceptional experience for our pup! This is our second time boarding with her, and I highly recommend her to anybody. Lots of playtime, walks, and excellent communication.”
“Eileen and Mike are very sweet and caring. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with them as I knew they would take very good care of him. And I was right, Teddy seemed very relaxed and well taken care of when I picked him up. Thank you so much for your loving care!”
“When we went to the meet and great I wasn’t sure if the doggies would get along. We all hung in there though and the four dogs worked it out. When we went to drop our two dogs off we allowed time for the doggies to get reacquainted. My understanding is there were no problems while we were away. I would certainly ask Renata to take care of my two dogs again.”
“We are all very happy with Skipper's boarding experience with Mike and Karen. We had a great in-home visit before our booking, which eased any concerns I had. They have a lovely home and a beautiful backyard and they were unphased by Skipper's running around anywhere and everywhere. I know Skipper got lots of exercise while he was with them. We received updates daily letting us know how the day had gone with pictures. We are 100% happy with our experience with Mike and Karen and wouldn't hesitate to book with them again in the future!”
“Jonathan & his family did an amazing job watching our fur babies. This was our 1st experience leaving them with a sitter and they put my mind at ease and keep me posted on my babies day to day activities with text messages and photos. Would definitely use them again!!”
“This is a nice home away from home for Scruffles. Madeline and Christian know dogs and are able to keep our little one happy. Communication is great.”
“Lorraine is by far the most caring loving pet sitter Pixie has ever had. She cares for Pixie as her own and has experience and knowledge of little dogs that makes a huge difference. We will be using Lorraine again and hopefully for many years to come. Thank you Lorraine!”
“My dog had a great time with Patty. And I plan on bringing her back. I received lots of videos and pictures which I appreciate it, Thank you so much.”
“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!”
“Rachel and Meg are the real deal. Our dogs (two 70lb handfuls) got daily park trips, adorable photo updates with genuinely funny captions, and the kind of care that goes above and beyond. Rachel even replaced a dog bed one of our dogs chewed up, no questions asked. That level of thoughtfulness is rare. Book them. They will treat your dogs like their own.”
“Bryn is such a caring and communicative sitter! My dog ended up being sick for the last 24 hours of the stay, and not only did Bryn immediately contact me with all the details, she provided frequent updates until I was able to pick up my dog. Five stars!”
“Shayne and Adam were amazing with our dog. She is young and has a lot of energy and was totally wiped out when we came home. They communicated frequently and sent lots of photos of our dog playing and being well taken care of. We will definitely use Shayne and Adam again!”
“Could not recommend more!! Took the best care of our boy while we were gone for the we’re d and sent us the best videos and photos for updates! Made us have peace of mind while away, and Cujo also had the best time running around and playing and getting all the pets! Our new rover go to for sure.!!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with an unknown person. Dina by far exceeded my expectations and constantly shared pictures. Definitely rebooking with her.”
“Christy provided the most wonderful care for our dog, Bitsy, while we were gone for several days. Christy was excellent at communicating with us. Through her videos we could see how much fun Bitsy was having with Christy's dog, Petunia. I felt completely comfortable about Bitsy being in her care while we were away. Our dog came home happy and healthy. I will not hesitate to leave Bitsy in Christy's care again.”

About: I would love to care for your pets. I offer a friendly,safe, and loving home. I will play with and give plenty of love and attention. I'm retired so I have plenty time to care for your babies.

I do have a large gated deck where your pet can go out and relax.
“We couldn’t be happier with Amanda! She is dependable, kind, and genuinely wonderful with animals - our dogs and cats absolutely adored her from day one. She provided excellent care and kept us updated throughout, giving us total peace of mind. We always came home to happy, well-loved animals. Highly recommend Amanda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Erin was incredibly helpful looking after my cats! She agreed to house sit last minute and over a holiday week and made sure to take extra special care of my cat while he was recovering from an illness. She was very sweet and I will definitely use her again for my next trip!”
About: I'm an experienced veterinary technician, with a long history of pet sitting cats, dogs and large animals. Serving most of the Teller County area and some El Paso county. Plenty of references available. Horses, livestock and small pocket pets are also some of the other pets I am comfortable handling. Fully capable of medicating pets, including the management of diabetics. I am fond of and am very comfortable with "bully breeds" and fractious/feral cats. We have small children at home, so I’m flexible to do drop ins and evening visits. I have reliable transportation and consistent cell service, in the event that emergency drop ins are needed. I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all species. I’m happy to exercise your pet as appropriate, and adhere to any feeding/medical schedules requested.
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!
“Arianna sent photos daily, but ended up being unavailable one of the days I had her booked for and I was informed 45 minutes after the drop-in time, day of. Luckily, my partner was in town and able to stop by to care for my cats, albeit later than they are normally fed.”
“My kitties love Edyn, they were happy to play and get attention from her. My female cat can be pretty finicky on who she let's pet her, and Edyn is allowed to, so a big win.”
About: I have taken care of many friends and families' felines over the years, as well as taking care of my own treasured cat, who was just diagnosed with diabetes. I love cats and want to make sure they get the best care possible to support a happy and healthy life. :)
“Spencer was very good with my two cats. He got the shy independent one to lay with him on the couch. He sent photos everyday and the cats looked very content. Mostly lying around in the same vicinity. Spencer also brought in the packages that were delivered. Would use him again.”
About: I have 18 years of experience as a veterinary technician and in the veterinary industry. I'm comfortable caring for small animals, farm animals and livestock, administering medications and caring for senior pets or those with health concerns. We have called Teller County home for over 20 years and I have been active in the school district and community. I'm currently working from home, and have flexibility to provide daytime visits. If providing overnight care, I do need access to wifi so I can work remotely. I care for your pets in their environment, so that they are comfortable while you are away. I may leave during the day to provide drop in care for other pets, returning to provide your pets daily routine. You can feel free to contact me throughout my stay to check in, and You will receive updates so that you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family are happy and healthy. If I am providing drop in only, I will send an update each time I leave your home.
About: I work full time as a remote paralegal at a law firm. I own 4 fur babies of my own and know how important it is for them to get the care and attention that they deserve. Don’t stress while you are away at the office, because I am here to give them all the love and attention for you. I work full time as a remote paralegal and therefore am able to stop by your home during the day or night to check on your fur babies for you. I care for your dogs as if they are my own. Walks, play time, daily massages and kisses. If your dog requires certain accommodations I am happy to comply with those specifics as well.
“I strongly recommend Jennie to anyone in need of a petsitter! She stopped by twice to feed my cat while I was out of town and was fantastic. Very friendly and sent me pictures and updates when she dropped by.”
“Chris is wonderful and is very attentive to your fur babies needs. You will get photos and details of the visit which gives you assurance your pet is well taken care of.”
About: I have always had a cat in my home and cared for many kitties belonging to friends and family. I understand cat behavior and how to put them at ease. I am through in litter box cleaning and ensuring they feel comfortable around me. I’m happy to provide brushing and enrichment as well. I’m a nurse for our 2 legged brethren but am comfortable administering medications.
About: I have had dogs and cats since I was little and have loved taking care of both. I was a volunteer at the humane society as well learning about proper training. I am also comfortable handling dogs that have pet aggression. I’m currently not working and taking online classes so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I am not really on a set schedule at the moment as I wait for the Spring Semester. I can easily crate your dog if needed but am also fine sharing the bed with them if you prefer. I am happy to change the litter box for your kitty. I am versed in all kinds of different pet foods. I will love and look after your pets as if they are my own.
About: I've had cats my whole life, but around the age of 13, i started to understand how to care for them. I currently have 2 cats of my own. One of them has Asthma and receives an inhaler every day. I also have experience administering Insulin shots for diabetes, as well as other forms of medications. Cats can be stressed out and spicy floofs when their humans are away, so understanding cat body language is extremely important to me. My promise is to care for your fur babies like I would want mine to be cared for. The way into a cat's heart is through compassion and tasty treats!

I provide information of fresh food diets in relation to overall health. I am available for leash training upon request. I currently only work two days a week, averaging less that 20 hours.

They are all up to date on their shots and and all very friendly. All five have been raised with each other, kids and 2 cats.
“Our 5 month old puppy loves Amanda and her dogs! She always comes home happy and tired. It’s so nice to have someone to leave your pup with and not worry about them during the day because they’re in the best hands!”
“Barbi took great care of my Australian Shepard. She has a large fenced in yard- perfect for high energy pups like mine. She has a three dogs of her own so best for dogs that are social and want play time.”
About: I have over 10 years of professional animal care experience and a lifelong passion for animals. I hold a degree in Animal Science with a pre-veterinary emphasis from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and have experience caring for a wide variety of animals throughout my life. As a stay-at-home mom to two young girls, I am home most of the day and can provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship for dogs in my care. Our family shares our home with two friendly and active dogs—a German Shepherd/Malinois mix and a Husky—as well as a cat and a small flock of chickens. We have a securely fenced yard where dogs can safely play, explore, and burn off energy. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime, socialization, or simply relaxing in a home environment, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience while you’re away. I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities, and I am committed to treating each one as if they were my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a stay-at-home mom with over 10 years of professional animal care experience, I am home most of the day and able to provide regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and companionship. I care for pets by maintaining consistent routines, providing plenty of attention and enrichment, and ensuring they have a safe, comfortable environment. Pets in my home receive supervised playtime, exercise in our securely fenced yard, and individualized care based on their needs and personalities.
“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!”
About: I have owned dogs for 30 years of many different breeds and temperaments. I am very active with my own dog going to the dog park or hiking daily and have room for a few dog friends to go. I am available all days and hours with time to spend walking and going on adventures with dogs and keeping them mentally stimulated and happy. I have a puggle that is young and energetic so small nippy dogs will need prior introduction. He gets along great with big friendly dogs. I have a fenced yard and a puggle to keep your dog company and a dog door for them to go in and out. I will be present at all times when caring for your dog. I only accept dogs that are potty trained for indoor boarding.
“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.”
“Ashley and her family took great care of Steaky. The location was very convenient if you are visiting the area, Ashley was very communicative from the start and I felt safe leaving Steaky with her. Steaky had a great time!”
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.
“Sara is great! She is a good communicator, keeping you updated along the way during the visit and provides plenty of pictures! It’s such a pleasure to know your pet is in good hands and you can rest comfortably about their care!”
“Melinda was very easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of my little dog, who can be anxious around new people and other dogs. I would definitely ask her to watch my dog again in future!”
“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”
“Mariah was great. Our dogs got along really well and my pup came home happy and tired. Mariah’s communication was great throughout the day and she was flexible with pickup time.”
About: A few years ago I left the full-time workforce to homeschool my son during pandemic, and we started walking dogs and cat-sitting as a side project we could do together. We’ve had an absolute blast meeting so many wonderful pups and cats. Now he’s back to in-person school and I’m back to school as well, starting on my PhD! I intend to continue walking and sitting to help with those hefty tuition payments, and my son will continue to be involved outside of school hours! (He sometimes gets jealous when I visit our favorite dogs and cats without him 😂) Rover has been exactly what we needed at exactly the right time, and I’m so happy to spend my days out enjoying the Colorado sunshine, maybe listening to a podcast or audiobook while I enjoy some good trails or neighborhood walks and feed off the great energy that comes from a dog excited to go on a walk! We tend to do cat check-ins after dinner, which gives my son a good sense of responsibility when he has to help me go through the checklist of to-do’s each visit! Our other new pandemic animal project has been fostering with the Humane Society, and we have two wonderful “foster fails” of our own - a beautiful Ragdoll cat named Yoda and a spunky little Chihuahua mix named Cocoa Puff. We also have a few backyard chickens, and we continue to foster kittens and pups regularly, which is why right now we’re only open to walking and sitting; no boarding or day care. Our lives are filled with animals and we wouldn’t have it any other way! If you entrust us to your animals I can guarantee a high level of care. I take the responsibility seriously, and teach my son to as well. For dogs, we generally start with a walk around your neighborhood the first time or two just to get accustomed to the dogs (and let them get accustomed to us!); and then, with your permission, after a few neighborhood walks, we’d love to load your pup(s) into the car and hit our favorite local trails. Warning - they may (/will) get a bit dirty! On weekdays, I love to do longer dog walks while my son is in school. He’s completely happy to join in on walks after school or on weekends, but either our pace will be a bit slower (we love to geocache to make things a bit more interesting though!) or we’ll look for a playground so he can entertain himself and play with other kids midwalk while I do a few loop with the dogs. Cat check-ins are great for after dinner time in our schedule, but if you have more specific time needs, let me know and we’ll likely be able to make it work! One thing that is really difficult for us is anytime between 7:30pm and 7:30am. In a pinch, I can make it work; but those are generally sleep hours for my son, and I’m a single mama so we really shouldn’t commit to check-ins or walks after 7:30pm or before 7:30am. At this time we only offer boarding to existing clients. Generally, if I’ve started to regularly walk your pup, I’ll seek to introduce them to our household - we’ve got chickens, a small-breed dog, and a cat. So I’d need to know that your pup is fine with all of those stimuli before we could board them during your vacation. But we’ve successfully done it with quite a number of our other regulars!
“Devon gave us a GREAT first experience on Rover. Fantastic communication before and during the visit, warm and welcoming to our sweet pup, and also gave us some local restaurant tips! We're just traveling through, but we'd definitely book with Devon again if we return to this beautiful area.”
“This was our first time using Rover. Sara was awesome and we will absolutely use her again next time we’re in the area! Incredibly quick to respond and excellent communication throughout the whole experience from meeting up beforehand and communications about the needed schedule flexibility on our end. She was on time for both meetings and her own dog is so very sweet. We’re so pleased they got along and Sara got them out and about on a beautiful day as well. Now we’re on a long drive home and our pup is actually sleeping in our car, something she never does, so we know she had a wonderful time playing with Sara’s dog. We’ll be using Sara again and passing her info along to friends that frequently visit the area as well. Thank you, Sara!”

About: I’ve loved pets for as long as I can remember, so it was a natural fit when a friend asked me to come and stay with her babies when she and her husband were on a 3 week vacation abroad. Word got out and before I knew it, another friend asked me to take care of her babies while she was in Germany. My new business thrived! I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and homes in CA, CO, AZ, and VA. ❤️ They love me and I love them. I am self employed so it’s easy to work your pet/s into my schedule. If it’s dropping in for a potty break and quick play date, or a good long walk to get some fresh air, I have lots of available slots to take care of your precious baby. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home, however I treat your pets with as much love and care in your home as I treat my precious granddog in mine. Much patience and love is required for pets who are missing their parents and I love caring for them and maybe even spoiling them a bit. 😉
About: I have been in the veterinary profession for 7 years, I am able to administer medications and available for any special needs your fur baby might have. I prefer to meet before booking but I understand emergencies come up. I am completely comfortable coming to your home and walking your kiddo or staying overnight while you are away. I have a St Bernard (4 yrs old), a tabby cat (14 yrs old), a Sphynx cat (1 yr old), and our newest addition is a Border Collie (6 months old). My cats love to lounge in the sun and the dog’s look forward to their walks and dog park time. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of availablilty to hang out and care for your loved ones. Weekends may vary based on my schedule. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs in the home, both are spayed females. We have plenty of fun playing in the sprinkler and dog pool. We also have tons of toys to fetch and chew on.

“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!”
“Edyn is so great with our senior boy. We appreciate that she pays attention to his level of enthusiasm for the walk, which can definitely vary by the weather and time of day.”
About: I have been working with all different types of dogs my whole life. Ive owened Great Danes to Chihuahuas. Recently have been walking and sitting dogs for friends. Dogs have an energy that you don't get from working with any other animal or human. I have found working with dogs makes it more fun to "work". I currently am unable to own my own dog, but am very excited to be able to help other owners out. I also enjoy getting outside and being active. If your dog likes to jog, I don't have a problem doing so. Fetch or the dog parks are also fun alternatives, if I know owners are ok with it. I’m currently working overnight shift (9:45pm-6:15am)Sat-Wed, but have plenty of time during the day to take care of your pets needs. I currently don’t have any pets, so I’d love to be able to dote on yours while you’re away. I prefer to sit in the home of the animal that is needing the care, as I feel that makes for an easier transition for the pet.
About: I have taken care of pets for over 30 years and grown up with dogs as pets my whole life! I enjoy being around pets and taking care of them. Our sweet Pug had seizures so I am familiar with caring for dogs that need meds and care with that also. I work from home and own a Business so can be very flexible with schedules and can be at home with your pet or drop by your home when needed! We live on 3 acres and live on back gravel roads so can walk your pet throughout the day if needing that. I’m home working throughout the day so can get them outside as much as needed.
About: I have cared for a variety of dogs and cats, as well as rabbits and other critters. I've administered medications and given baths as needed. I do have a quirky, medium-sized husky mix that would come with me for overnights. She gets along well with dogs, though she can play a bit rough sometimes. I currently work full time from home and my flexible schedule allows for frequent walks and attention paid to the animal friends in my care. My husky mix, Sabine, would be with me for any overnights. I live in a quite neighborhood near endless trail access, so there's more than adequate opportunities for safe and extensive exercise for any furry friends boarding at my home. I follow all instructions from clients regarding their needs and preferences for care in their homes or my own.
About: Hello, I’ve been surrounded by animals all my life growing up on a farm and always had canine and feline companions. My father was veterinary trained and passed on some of his knowledge to me. I love all creatures great and small. I started my own dog walking business at 13 and now work as a nurse caring for our two legged friends. I’m comfortable with all sizes and types of animals. Not task is too big. I’m comfortable walking multiple dogs. I’ve pet sat for friends and family on countless occasions. I look forward to caring for your best friend. It would be my honor. Thank you for taking the time to read about me. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companion! I look forward to giving pets the time they deserve and need. I’m adaptable when it comes to my furry clients. I find it helpful to set up a meet and greet before accepting a booking, that way both parties are comfortable and agree that we are a good fit. I pay attention to detail and leave your home exactly as I found it. Any pet messes will be cleaned up immediately upon discovery. My goal is for your pet to feel comforted when you aren’t able to be there. I value communication and update my clients after each visit.
About: With over 7 years of hands on experience caring for animals, I bring more than just love for pets I bring dependable, knowledgeable care. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies learning the ropes to sweet senior pets who need a gentler touch and extra patience. I’m confident with crate training, leash training, administering medications, and adjusting routines for dogs with special needs or anxiety. I treat every pet like they’re my own making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood while you’re away. Whether it’s going the extra mile on a walk, sticking to your pet’s specific routine, or giving lots of one on one attention, I tailor my care to what your pet needs most. Reliability, clear communication, and a genuine passion for animals are what my clients love most about working with me! Pet care is a natural and important part of my daily routine. I structure my day around the needs of the pets I care for whether that means early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or evening snuggles and playtime. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care throughout the day, not just squeeze it in. Because I truly enjoy spending time with animals, I prioritize giving them attention, exercise, and structure. Whether I’m doing drop ins, walks, or overnight stays, I’m fully present and focused on making sure each pet feels happy, safe, and loved. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I maintain a calm, clean, and pet friendly environment where routines are followed closely to reduce stress and keep things familiar. In my home, I provide plenty of supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, cozy rest areas, and safe spaces where pets can relax. I keep a close eye on behavior, always ensuring everyone gets along and feels secure. In a client’s home, I treat it with the utmost respect and make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine including feeding schedules, walk times, and preferred sleeping arrangements. I send regular updates, photos, and notes, so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. Every pet is different, so I adapt my care to match their personality, energy level, and special needs whether that’s extra snuggles, a slower pace for senior dogs, or more active playtime for energetic pups.
About: I have had a wide variety of experiences with dogs. I have a German Shepard in my family. She is a service dog with very strict training and eating schedule which I have easily been able to handle. I trained my 65 lb standard golden doodle and spent countless hours caring for my two other small dogs. I’ve done overnight stays with puppies and full grown dogs, lots of walking/running with all sizes and love playing and cuddling with these awesome animals. I have a very flexible schedule and a dog that gets along with everything and everyone who I take out everyday to do something. I believe we can learn a lot from all dogs and the way they live their life! I don’t feel accomplished watching a dog until they are tired at the end of the day which means we got lots of energy out. I believe they deserve this :) I have a fenced in big backyard and plenty of space for your dog to be free but also watched closely. I have the time and space to take care of what they need.
About: Hi I'm Tori! I've been working closely and training with dogs for the better part of 8 years. When I first started working with dogs, I walked packs of 8-10 dogs off leash in San Francisco parks! I'm solely based in positive (R+) reinforcement training and love to help owners build their best relationships with their beloved pups! I am currently based in Colorado Springs. I'm familiar with great dog-friendly trails and have worked with all kinds of dogs (temperaments, age, and sizes)! I have a dog friendly home in Old Colorado City. I do have a safe fenced in backyard. I always do "meet and greets" before boarding or training any dog. If I stay at the dog owners' home, I stick to the dogs normal schedule/routine and make sure their home and pup is better than I found it! I'm trained in understanding dog's needs and being hyper aware of my environment to ensure safety of the dog I'm watching/walking! I hope to meet your beloved pup soon! Please reach out with any inquiries or questions! I’m very flexible for my clients needs! I do not have any pets of my own and am gone less than 6 hours a day, if I am gone at all. I always try to stick to the dogs normal routine and care! My home has no other pets and I am very experienced in walking, training, and sitting at my home and pet owners homes!
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats that I have and for neighbors. I have walked dogs and kept them safe. Loved and cared for them. I am currently working at another job but not I have more time off to take care my pets and take care of neighbors pets. I am ready to take care your babies(Animals) anytime. I am available anytime for boarding on weekends and weekdays before 4pm. Right now I can only take care your pets at the clients houses. Eventually I will have a house and it will be fenced and there will be a cat and a friendly dog. I am willing to put the dogs in the crate if needed. I just want the dogs to be comfortable in their own environment.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience and the level of care I put into every pet I watch. I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, and even horses for over 10 years, and I currently pet sit for four dogs regularly. I’m comfortable with puppies, including basic training and routines, as well as senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, or medication. I’m extremely responsible, dependable, and always on time. I truly love animals and take my role seriously—I want every pet to feel safe, happy, and fulfilled while their owners are away, not just cared for but genuinely comfortable and loved. Pet care fits really well into my daily and weekly routine. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to focus on the pets I’m caring for. I’m happy to do house sitting, extended stays, or regular drop-ins for potty breaks, feeding, walks, and lots of attention and love. I plan my schedule around the pets’ routines to make sure they get consistent care, and I take being reliable and on time very seriously. Making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for is always a priority for me. I care for pets by sticking closely to their normal routines, whether that’s in my home or in a client’s home. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and attention. I always keep their space clean and safe, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can notice if anything seems off. I’m comfortable giving extra care to puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace or medication. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, happy, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away.
About: Since I was a child, I have always loved dogs. When I grew old enough to own my own dog, I jumped on that opportunity and have since had several dogs in my life. My two dogs, Akira and Raven, are treated like family members and I wouldn’t trade them for the world. My in laws often ask me to watch their dogs because they know they will be treated and taken seriously if anything were to happen to them. I am currently unemployed and stay at home full time which gives me plenty of time to take care of your beloved pet as if they are my own. I have a fully fenced yard with outside access all day long. I have two other friendly dogs. A husky who is 6 and a lab pup who will be 2 in December who love to run and play. If you prefer your dog to be separated from them, that is no issue as my dogs are crate trained.

“Gayle is wonderful and always took great care of my dog over the past year. It felt like I was bringing him to a family member’s home versus a sitter’s and that’s exactly the kind of feeling you want to have. 🙂 I highly recommend her!”
“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!”
“Laura took great care of my pup! She sent lots of pics and updates of all their activities. It was great knowing he was well cared for while I was away!”
“When we went to the meet and great I wasn’t sure if the doggies would get along. We all hung in there though and the four dogs worked it out. When we went to drop our two dogs off we allowed time for the doggies to get reacquainted. My understanding is there were no problems while we were away. I would certainly ask Renata to take care of my two dogs again.”
“Jonathan & his family did an amazing job watching our fur babies. This was our 1st experience leaving them with a sitter and they put my mind at ease and keep me posted on my babies day to day activities with text messages and photos. Would definitely use them again!!”
“This is a nice home away from home for Scruffles. Madeline and Christian know dogs and are able to keep our little one happy. Communication is great.”
“My dog had a great time with Patty. And I plan on bringing her back. I received lots of videos and pictures which I appreciate it, Thank you so much.”
“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!”
“Rachel and Meg are the real deal. Our dogs (two 70lb handfuls) got daily park trips, adorable photo updates with genuinely funny captions, and the kind of care that goes above and beyond. Rachel even replaced a dog bed one of our dogs chewed up, no questions asked. That level of thoughtfulness is rare. Book them. They will treat your dogs like their own.”
“Could not recommend more!! Took the best care of our boy while we were gone for the we’re d and sent us the best videos and photos for updates! Made us have peace of mind while away, and Cujo also had the best time running around and playing and getting all the pets! Our new rover go to for sure.!!”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with an unknown person. Dina by far exceeded my expectations and constantly shared pictures. Definitely rebooking with her.”
“We Left our dog Zac with Nichole For 3 days. She was so sweet and easy to work with, and stayed in good communication with us. She took good care of Zac, and gave him a much needed bath that we hadn’t had time to give him, but had made prior arrangements with her for. It was a great first experience with Rover all the way around, and we would definitely look Nicole up again!”
“Idali was a great sitter for my doggie! She had great communication with me during the stay and gave updates with lots of pictures. She's very respectful and caring!”
“Genna was AWESOME! My husband and I felt so comfortable with her quickly. She sent us updates, pics, and even a video. We definitely felt our pups were loved and well taken care of! We absolutely recommend her to anyone. Thank you Genna!!!! ?”
“Julianne and Will were the absolute BEST! They sent pictures and updates daily and answered all my questions! I felt 100% confident in both of them to handle whatever may come up. I was nervous leaving my new rescue dog as I wasn’t sure how he would act, but they were so calm and loving with him. 5 Stars! Highly recommend!”
“From drop off to pick up, we felt completely at ease. Cara was so warm and welcoming, and Stanley immediately took to her and her own dogs. Throughout Stanley's stay, Cara kept us updated with plenty of pictures and videos. It was so reassuring to see him playing, exploring, and having such a great time. It's such a relief to know he was in such good hands. I absolutely recommend Cara to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be using her services again next time we need someone to watch Stanley!”

“My dog spent almost a week with Samantha and her family, and every photo I saw, she looked so happy! They were willing to accommodate her “quirks” :) Their set up is very organized and intentional to keep all dogs that are in their care safe. I would not hesitate to leave my dog in their care again!”
“Amazing service! It was our first time using Rover for our pup and it couldn’t have been smoother. Lexi was very communicative and sent daily pictures and videos of our girl. Lexi even baked homemade dog treats for Sunday to take home with her. Thankful for Lexi!”
