“Rachel is not only an extraordinary pet sitter, but she is an extraordinary person. Kind and delightful. She was wonderful with Buddha Bear and sent us lots of "Pupdates" of their walks, feeding, and hanging out in the yard. I know Bear had a great time. It was a bit challenging for us because we moved to the area less than two weeks ago, so we know our dog may be a little anxious at the moment with the move and everything that comes with it. Rachael was so patient with him, and he stayed with her while she was working. I couldn't speak more highly of her. I know Buddha Bear really loved her.”
“Fred and Kim have the perfect home away from home for your pup. They took Bailey on several walks a day, she had a comfortable bed to sleep in and plenty of space to move around the house and garden. They sent daily photos and updates, and were super friendly and accommodating. We'll be booking again!”
“She is great, and my kitty had a whole room to himself! She spoiled him, and worked hard to keep him happy and healthy. Will definitely trust her anytime with my little dude.”
“Cole was great with our puppy, Toffee! He kept her active playing, chasing balls & cuddling with his kids. What a wonderful household to land in! We were grateful that Cole was able to take Toffee pretty last minute when our scheduled petsitter fell through. Thank you, Cole! We will definitely contact you again! ❤️”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our first meeting, it was obvious that Scout was in caring, capable hands. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable, which says everything. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone we can trust completely when we’re away. We will absolutely book again and recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional Rover sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Scout!”
“I can't say enough about how great Caroline was watching Tucker for us. She was very responsive and so easy to coordinate with. Tucker had the best time with her and her extremely friendly dog Athena. As a bonus, she's right on all of the best dog walking trails in Boulder. We'll definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kimberly was incredible with my dogs. One is terrified of fireworks so we were hesitant to leave her over the Fourth of July. Kimberly got her cozy with a sound machine and lots of love. My other dog is a paralyzed high maintenance gal and Kimberly didn’t shy away from learning her routine at all. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to leave your babies and not be worried about them the whole time. And she sent lots of sweet photos! Thank you!”
“Margaret was great! Sierra came home happy and healthy. Margaret clearly cares about the dogs that she cares for--Sierra was well loved. Plus, Margaret was totally flexible about our drop-off and pick-up being a bit rushed since I had kids in the car.”
“Elizabeth watched our 2 dogs for a week and a half while we were on vacation. She sent me pictures and/or videos daily and was very quick to respond to all communications. My old boy is super easy but my young female dog can be a handful and has hit the phase where she feels the need to challenge other female dogs, so I was a little nervous since one of Elizabeth's dogs is female. She and her partner reassured me that they would keep them separate if needed, would never leave them home alone in the same room, and would control their interactions until they became more comfortable with each other. I'm so grateful that they watched my dogs because after a few days, I was getting pictures/videos of our girls playing and laying together which gave me hope for my little wild one's future interactions with other females! Thanks for doing such a great job with my babies!”
“Julia and Barbara are amazing pet sitters!!! We absolutely love them! They took our Aussie on so many fun excursions while we were away and we could tell our dog had so much fun with them. We will definitely be using their services again :)”
“My dog had a great time with Madeline. Madeline took her for lots of walks, and she handled my dog's anxiety/reactivity wonderfully. Will definitely be booking her again!”
“Alex was great with Chalupa. She’s an older dog who requires a bit of patience and he made sure she was taken care of. Great communication, on top of the schedule, and professional.”
“Emilie was great with my pup for an overnight stay! They went on walks and she sent lots of pictures. Emilie was also really flexible when my flight was delayed and I had to change my pick up time - I really appreciate her being able to make this last minute change and know that my dog was safe and sound! Thank you Emilie!”
“Great booking with Ryan and his wife. Got great updates and pictures. They have the perfect set up for dog sitting with a great yard, plenty of gates for separation, if needed, and gentle, but playful hosts.”
“Excellent communication, my dog Cookie spend a nice day with Brianna . I really appreciate all the pictures she send me, it was very reassuring. I would definitely recommend Brianna to anyone, she's a very sweet person and trustworthy ❤️ Thank you so much Brianna and good luck in all your projects!”
“Irina was wonderful! Communication was excellent, she was flexible on schedules, and Otto looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future, our little guy was very well taken care of.”
“Kody was so welcoming with my dog Hugo. He was very communicative and sent me pictures during Hugo’s stay. The thing that drew me to Kody as a sitter is the fact that I knew Hugo was the only guest and so I knew he was getting the proper attention. I hope to bring Hugo back in the future, it seems like he made some great new friends. Thank you, Kody!”
“Wenqi (and Robert and the fur family) were just as I hoped and more. They know and clearly love dogs. Lots of hikes, welcomed my Shiba Inu onto their bed for cuddles, and my dog and their dog and cat played well together after an initial getting to know. Definitely plan to ask for their excellent help again. Happy dog:)”

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.
96% of sitters in Altona 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 Altona 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 Altona.
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 Altona. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Altona 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.
