“Yi Ling watched my dog over two weekends, and I was very happy with the care she provided. She was an excellent communicator, always punctual, and completely dependable. One thing to know is that she often watches more than one dog at a time. My dog did great in that environment and enjoyed the opportunity to socialize with other dogs. I would happily book with Yi Ling again!”
“Brookelin and her partner took excellent care of our dog over a long weekend. She has a great setup for multiple dogs where all of their needs can be met, and respected that my dog can be a little shy and nervous in new situations. I appreciated knowing my dog was safe and well cared for, and the cute photos and regular updates are always appreciated 😊”
About: Growing up my family has always had pets, usually a mixture of dogs and cats (with the occasional hamster or lizard!). My passion for animals grows more and more every day. As an adult, my husband and I have 4 dogs ranging from tiny to large who get along great with all other animals. We also have 3 cats who are very unbothered by dogs. I try to volunteer at the local shelter twice a week but we have a beautiful baby boy so I haven’t been in a little while. Taking care of pets is truly second nature to me, I haven’t ever lived without pets and have always had a passion for them. Even as a little girl I always wanted to be involved in our pet’s care tasks. I know how stressful it can be trying to find a good place for your beloved pet to stay while you’re away, or to find help during the day while you’re at work. I hope that I can be one to relieve some of that stress and worry. Our pets are the most precious members of our family. I know that each individual dog/cat has their own needs and that different things work for different pets. I am very flexible and will always prioritize taking care of your pet the way that you do. Pet care is always part of my daily routine, I’m a stay at home mom to my beautiful baby boy, as well as to my 4 pups and 3 kitties. It is so intertwined with my life that I would make your fur baby feel right at home. I am home 24/7 so no need to worry about your pup or kitty being home alone in a strange place. I have a fully fenced yard and 4 other dogs. One of our dogs is a tiny senior (16 years old!), and the 3 other are middle aged, they love to play but aren’t too high energy if your pup doesn’t feel like playing. During feeding times I make sure that no one feels they have to compete by feeding everyone at once and facing them away from each other. I provide lots of toys and treats (with owners permission of course!) and cuddles (again with owners permission). I will be happy to communicate as much or as little as you need, if you want daily pictures, or even a few pictures a day, I am more than happy to do so! For pups that I’m just checking on, walking, or letting out to potty, all of the same things apply :)
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life 🐾 I was born and raised on a farm and currently care for 4 dogs, a bunny, a bearded dragon, and 10 chickens—so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets and personalities! I’m pet first aid certified ❤️🩹 and can help with basic dog training, including puppies and reinforcing good habits. References are available if you’d like! For my Rover clients, reliability, safety, and trust are very important to me. Your pets will be loved and cared for like they’re my own 🐶🐰🐔 Pet care fits naturally into my routine 🐾 I schedule walks and drop-in visits only on my days off from duty, so I’m fully present and not rushed. This allows me to give each pet my full attention, plenty of exercise, and lots of love during our time together 🐶 I plan my schedule carefully to make sure every pet gets reliable, consistent care while keeping safety and quality a top priority. I care for pets by sticking to their normal routines as much as possible 🐾 Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, comfort, and lots of love. This includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and attention. When pets stay in my home, they have access to a large, well-fenced backyard where they can safely run, play, and burn off energy 🌳🐶 I always supervise outdoor time and follow any special instructions. I also send regular updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands 📸💛
“Jessica was absolutely amazing with Onyx! Her family was so warm and welcoming, and it was clear that Onyx was very well-cared for. She kept me updated with photos and messages, which eased my mind while I was away. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for a loving and reliable sitter. She’s truly the best!”
“Darby and her family have been the perfect sitters for my Billie. They care for her, keep her safe and I can fully enjoy myself when on vacation knowing she is in good hands. Great communication and daily photos.”
“Darcy and her family are absolutely wonderful! They took excellent care of Winnie while we were out of town, made sure she felt right at home, and sent us plenty of updates and pictures during her stay!”
“Naomi is excellent as always! She is professional and trustworthy - and my girls love her and her beautiful family. She keeps me updated with real-time photos/videos of my girls, so I know they are being well-cared for and safe. I would highly recommend her for all of your pet-sitting needs!”
About: I work at Petco as a dog bather. My family and I have always had cats and dogs in the house throughout my whole life. I work from between 8-6 5 days a week so I will have plenty of time to walk the dogs and do a pop in to make sure the pets are comfortable and safe. I also have 2 days off each week and stay at home most of the day. I do have a yard and a park nearby. I have taken care of cats who have herpes, digestion, and kidney problems. I am also a clean freak so pets don’t get into anything that they shouldn’t be. My lower cabinets are baby proof so animals cannot get into them.
“Shyla was great!! She offered the time for a meet and greet ahead of time. During our dogs’ stay, she sent many updates and pics/ videos to let us know how things were going. We will plan to book her again!”
“Casey and her family were great with our two pups. I loved that she sent pictures of the dogs throughout their stay. They got walks each day and lots of snuggles with her family. We will definitely use Casey again for our future travels!”
“Salena was great with my dog Frankie. She posted his status everyday and spent time with him taking him on walks and to the local dog park. She also spent some time teaching him new tricks! She was very conscientious and very friendly. I will definitely ask her to look after Frankie the next time I go on a trip.”
“Marina and Conner were so patient with our pet who was a bit more than they bargained for. But it allowed us to have a worry free vacation. We so appreciated their updates and feedback. Thank you so much!”
“Shiloh was well cared for and happy during his stay. When I picked him up it was obvious that he had bonded with Brenda. We would definitely recommend and use her again”
“Ashley and her family provided a fun and loving place for my pup while we were out of town. From the pictures Ashley sent I could see that Malaika was having way more fun at her house than she ever does at mine! We had to board her for three weeks while we were away with family and she was happy and healthy as ever when we got her back. I’ll definitely work with Ashley again!”
“Leesa and her husband are the best sitters ever. No question. Leesa clearly loves dogs and does her best to make her home welcoming to them. She sent video and picture updates throughout the stay. She followed our instructions to a T and made sure she got their medication schedule right. I just wish she didn’t stay so booked so we could use her every time. Thanks again!”
“Anne and her family took excellent care of our two pups when we were out of town! Anne provided lots of communication and photos to update us during their stay. Our pups loved their stay and were happy to see us but sad to leave. We highly recommend Anne and her family to care for your furry family members!”
“We love Andrea! More importantly, our dog loves Andrea, her son and Danny, her dog. We are incredibly grateful to have found such an amazing pet sitter for our Murphy. 💕”

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Alden can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Alden home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Alden.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Alden. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
You and your Alden sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in CO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
