“Janet was a great pet sitter for our two dogs while we were away. Our pups were able to play all day in her back yard and kept company by her or a family member who were home often or all the time. She provided me a photo or video update every day which was much appreciated!”

“I recently used Overnight Stay service provided by Eric for my dog, and I couldn't be more pleased. Eric was an excellent communicator throughout the entire process, keeping me updated with frequent messages and lots of pictures. It was clear that he genuinely cared for my dog's well-being, and I felt reassured knowing my furry friend was in good hands. I highly recommend Eric's services to any pet owner looking for top-notch care for their beloved companion.”
“My pup had a great time with Kristen! She kept me updated throughout his stay, sharing pictures, videos, and status updates regularly. She has a cozy apartment with several good spots for him to relax, though I did bring his kennel and beds so he would have something familiar. Turns out he didn't need them much. Thank you Kristen! Already have her rebooked for my next trip :)”
“Megan was an excellent sitter and I highly recommend her. The meet and greet was beneficial to allow my dog to know where she would staying beforehand. Megan sent several texts & videos to reassure us that our dog was comfortable during her stay. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“Irina and Aaron are amazing! They watched my dog Ollie for his first time staying with a sitter, and I was a little nervous about how he would do in a new environment. At the meet and greet, Aaron took the time to ask lots of questions, get to know Ollie, and introduce him to their two dogs. Ollie loved Aaron and the pups immediately! They went above and beyond making sure Ollie was happy and comfortable. They sent lots of photos and videos to keep me updated all weekend, and it was great to know Ollie was in such good hands. Super grateful to have found them. We will absolutely be booking with them again! Thank you both!”

“Our doggo has a sensitive digestive track that is aggravated by stress, and we can tell when he comes back from a less than ideal stay. This was absolutely not the case with Sami & Joel, who were sensitive to his needs and obviously made our dog feel right at home while we were away. We'd especially like to thank Penelope for all of her cuddles :) Thanks very much to this family who we will certainly use again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Applewood
Daniel did amazing with our boys. He sent daily pic updates, and I loved that he made sure they were getting their daily exercise. Lambeau is a little skittish around new people, and we received a picture of him smiling and getting his belly rubbed. One of our boys started getting sick the last day, and he was extremely responsive and was willing to take him to the vet if things worsened. Both boys are still snoozing the next day, so I can tell they had fun. Daniel was super quick to set up a meet in greet and had read through their care instructions (I could tell by the questions he asked). Highly recommend if you want someone reliable and responsible. With Daniel, I 100% trust they were in good hands.
I had a last minute need to get Rambo a rover while me and my partner were on a trip. And Sehwa and Adam were so kind to accept our request! They gave Rambo so much attention and walks. Sent me so many pictures so I know Rambo was having a great time. Thank you so much again for saving us last minute and giving Rambo the attention he needed!
Mikaela took wonderful care of my elder boy and shared adorable photos that seemed to highlight well the great time he had with her and her animal companions. He cozily and warmly made some new friends, and I’m excited to have a lovely human and new buddies for him to go see again the next time I need support for him. Thank you so much!
Jamie and Chris go above and beyond every time my sweet Shadow gets to hang out with them!! I don’t have any doubts or worries when I leave Shadow with them, the only worry would be that Shadow has more fun with them than me 😂 They were super accommodating when we dealt with a nightmare of a delayed return flight home. Shadow will be back soon :)
Jeff was great to work with! He took such good care of our elderly dog and was willing to troubleshoot ways to help keep our dog’s appetite consistent, which has been an issue in the past. He was also a huge help when our trip got delayed by a day and was willing to watch our pup an extra day with little notice!

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 Applewood 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 Applewood 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 Applewood.
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 Applewood. 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 Applewood 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.
