About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up and love them. I don’t have any pets right now so I want to help others out. I currently work fully remote at a very low demanding role, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and hang out with them! We have a 2 bedroom townhome style unit that has plenty of room for pets to roam around and we enjoy dogs and cats (:
“Makayla is awesome! Super easy to coordinate with, quick to respond, and took really good care of my girl. Makayla’s dog is very low key and friendly, and my dog got on great with him! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: I have 20 years of hands-on pet care experience and I've been around animals my entire life. I grew up in a household with multiple high-energy dogs, so caring for pets has always felt like second nature to me. Over the years, I've also lived with roommates whose dogs were just as high-energy, and later a cat, which gave me even more day-to-day experience with different pet personalities, routines, and needs. I have also cared for cats with medical needs. I've done drop-in visits for diabetic cats, including administering insulin injections on schedule. I understand how important consistency, routine, and a calm approach are for pets managing health conditions, and I take that responsibility seriously. My partner and I adopted a cat early last year, so I'm very used to daily pet care and know firsthand how important it is to keep things consistent for a pet's comfort and well-being. Our cat Yuzu is friendly, curious, and very social — I've made sure he's comfortable around new people and pets. If your pet enjoys feline company, they'll have a friendly companion during their boarding stay! Whether it's a high-energy dog who needs a good long walk or extra playtime to burn off energy, a cat who just wants a quick check-in and a clean litter box, or a pet who needs full boarding while their owners are away, I'm comfortable and experienced enough to give them the attentive, reliable care they deserve. I offer walks, drop-in visits, and boarding, and I'm happy to work with pets who have special needs, medications, or routines that require extra attention and consistency. Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life since I work from home and have my own cat, Yuzu. Feeding, playtime, and routine check-ins happen daily, so fitting in walks, drop-ins, or boarding for your pet is easy, and I'm able to give them consistent attention throughout the day. In my home, pets are supervised, given a comfortable space, and introduced gradually to Yuzu if they're cat-friendly. In a client's home, I would follow your routines and instructions closely, secure doors and gates, and make sure medications or feeding schedules are followed exactly as directed.
“My 3 month old puppy Bella loved her drop-in stays with Janet! Janet has a great space for dogs including a huge backyard so the pups can safely play all day. I enjoyed the pics and videos she sent of Bella throughout the day and look forward to working with her again in the future!”
“Our sweet Gus had an awesome time with Cory and his pups! Gus ran right up to Cory and didn’t even look back on his way inside—Cory is clearly wonderful with dogs. Gus came home tired and happy after his first day of daycare!”
About: Dogs in our house are part of the family. We are a mother & son (age 14) combo with 2 dogs in the house (friendly, sweet spayed females). We have been loving and caring for dogs since we were both little, providing the best care for our price and will make your dog feel like it's at home! We have a fully fenced-in large yard and dog door. If you crate your dog, we have one in the house so that you don't have to bring yours. You can certainly bring your own dog bed, but we also have one that your pup can utilize. We also have stuffs, toys, leashes & bowls, so don't fret if you forget anything. Your furry-buddy is allowed to cuddle on the couch with us or wherever they find comfort. If the weather permits and your dog is accustomed to going to the dog park, they can join us on trips to play. We have both gone through dog training programs, most recently Ted Terroux. Clean house, well cared-for, loving home. ***** Please reach out if you need a date that shows as "unavailable" as we might be able to make a special accommodation for your dog & past clients. ***** As a teacher & student, we are on summer break and have lots of availability. During the school year, we work and go to school during the week. We are able to go home mid-day for potty breaks. We we home on weekends and during breaks (Spring Break, Summer, Fall Breaks & Winter Breaks). We have several "regular" clients that have a proven track record with our dogs.... Thus, we are able to board mid-week *if* your dog is COOL (plays well, non-destructive, low flight risk), and knows how to use a doggie door. So, please send us a message as we are often available for other dates not made public on the calendar. We look forward to getting to know you and your fur baby! We have a great record of caring for our dogs and we will be able to safely and reliably take care and keep your dog safe and happy in a comfortable and clean home. We typically feed our dogs in the morning and evening, but can accommodate your pups needs. Our home is very clean and well taken care of. There is a main level in which we hang out with great room, office and kitchen. The dogs have free-roam of the main level which has laminate flooring, but covered with carpet squares as one of our dogs does not like walking on hardwood floors. So, it is mostly carpeted for her comfort. We have a large sectional in which we allow dogs to snuggle with us while watching TV. The LARGE yard is mostly grass, some mulch/landscaped trees & shrubs, with concrete patio in which we spend a lot of time dining and reading. We pick up poop DAILY. During the evening, if you request your dog could be crated in the bedroom in which one of us is sleeping as dogs are pack animals and they don't like being separated from the pack. We keep them close to us. But, we want to keep everyone safe, so the crate is available (optional) for their safety as well as ours/our pets. But again, they are slumbering in the same room with us.
“Anna’s dog day care was amazing! We received lots of pics and videos during the day and I was able to rest easy at work knowing that my puppy was being taken such good care of. She even went on a walk in addition to the dogs getting to play out in a big yard most of the day. Anna is very trustworthy and reliable.”
“Sehwa and Adam were so great! Our Nova seemed to love them and they sent updates throughout her day. They were very understanding when we had to postpone for a day due to changing work schedule and when Nova had an accident. This was our first time using Rover so Nova was probably a little extra nervous but they were so nice about it. I would highly recommend Sehwa and Adam, and would love to use them again in the future :)”
“Luke was so accommodating! We had a very short notice requirement and he worked with us so well to accommodate our pups! They loved their time there and were so sad to leave. Thanks so much!!”
“Zevon has a great stay at Kristi’s! Big back yard for him to run around and play w other dogs. He even took a field trip to the local park. Would definitely use Kristi again!”
“Zory and Kent are doggie sitters sent from heaven, there is not a single area where they could improve. They are so patient, accommodating, and loving to my pup. I can’t imagine better sitter out there! 100/10. THE BEST.”
About: We’re a family that loves dogs and has the perfect setup to make them feel right at home. We have a large, fully fenced backyard with tons of room to run and play, a pool, and three boys who absolutely love having dogs around and giving them attention. Dogs staying with us become part of the family while they’re here, with plenty of outdoor time, walks, playtime and attention throughout the day. We intentionally keep the number of dogs we care for limited so every dog gets plenty of individual attention rather than feeling like they’re at a crowded boarding facility. Safety is extremely important to us, so we only accept friendly dogs that are comfortable around children, and we’re happy to do a meet-and-greet before their first stay. Meagan is a stay-at-home mom to our three young boys, who are in school during the day, so she has plenty of time to give your dog attention, playtime and companionship throughout the day. Josh is also around outside of work hours, so between the two of us, dogs staying here get lots of attention, outdoor time and walks. We’re close to Ralston Creek and several great parks and trails, which makes getting out for walks easy. Our boys absolutely love dogs too, so there’s no shortage of attention when everyone gets home! We have a large, fully fenced private backyard with plenty of room to run, play and relax outside, along with a pool and lots of space inside our home. Dogs stay with us as part of the family, not isolated in a kennel or left outside for long periods. We provide plenty of supervised backyard time, walks, playtime and attention throughout their stay. Because we have three young boys, we only accept friendly dogs that are comfortable around children. We’re also happy to do a meet-and-greet before the first stay so everyone feels comfortable and we can learn your dog’s routine, personality and needs.
About: I have more than 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler pace and a little extra patience. I also have extensive animal care experience from past roles working at AZA zoos. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust and provide the kind of care that works best for them. I’m patient, kind and compassionate, and I genuinely love spending time with dogs. I’m also very active and happy to provide plenty of walks, exercise and playtime for dogs who need it. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, affectionate or independent, I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep you updated and care for them as if they were my own. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to provide dogs with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day, along with regular bathroom breaks, walks, playtime and exercise. Because I’m home, dogs in my care won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I can easily adapt my schedule to their normal feeding, medication and activity routines. I genuinely enjoy having a dog by my side while I work and making sure they feel comfortable, engaged and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable and as close to their normal routine as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, bathroom breaks and any household rules. I provide plenty of attention, exercise and playtime while also respecting when a pet needs quiet time or space. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the property, and I make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also provide regular photos and updates so owners can relax knowing their pet is happy and receiving patient, compassionate care.
About: My husband and I have been taking care of friends’ dogs for years. We love them all! We’ve got a big guy of our own, who is very friendly but likely will request a meet and greet just to make sure everyone gets along prior to your first booking. My husband and I both work from home. We have pretty demanding jobs so are really able to take care of the pups before 7 and after 5. We have a fenced in yard and one big pup to keep your furry one company! Our yard is on a corner of a busy street so people and dogs walk by frequently.
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, including several with special needs and disabilities, so I understand the importance of patience, attentiveness, and compassionate care. I’ve also spent many years dog and cat sitting for friends and family, caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, routines, and energy levels. I know our pets are family, and I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, loving, and reliable environment for your dog or cat while you’re away! I work full-time from home and am always there during the day. I can schedule weekend care but need a bit more notice as my social calendar can fill up. No pets at home. I can have yours over during the day. Night time is ok if it's not more than a couple of nights, and as long as your pet is quiet/well-behaved.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Applewood
Cory was great, watched my baby Luna for 2 weeks on and off while I would go to work. Was able to accompany me dropping her off at 6am as I’m a nurse and start early. The time was short lived as we moved to Denver and closer to work. But she loved him and his pups!
Can’t ask for much better if you are looking for a sitter. Ace had a great time with Ashley and her pup Lucy. Ashley was extremely accommodating and allowed for an early morning drop off on a Sunday which was a huge help. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and Ace was happy as could be when I picked him up. 10/10 would recommend.
Adrian was amazing with Otis and so nice to work with. She took daycare with him on pretty last minute but you couldn’t tell it was any inconvenience because she spent a full day of activities and of her time with him. She really cares for animals and was so kind to us, she is an amazing sitter!
Sthefany and Jeshael were very punctual, took great care of my pup, and were flexible with my schedule, which was really nice. It made things stress-free since I didn’t have to worry about sticking to a strict pickup and drop-off time. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone!

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
