“Delane was very flexible with working around my holiday plans to arrange drop off and pick up times for my pup. I got regular pictures of Walnut and when I picked her up, her tail was clearly wagging and she was happy in Delane's home. Would definitely ask her to dogsit again!”

“We had a great experience with Alex. He is very kind and is a dog lover. He was great with communication and drop off pickup and being flexible with our times. He let us enjoy our trip but sent a few messages and took amazing photos of our dog Chip. He was thoughtful and gave us some prints and a magnet of his photography of our cutie pup Chip. We will definitely be using Alex again. Thank you!”

“We are grateful for the love and care Alexandra & Jeff plus kids gave to Arley during a long weekend stay. It's always nice to have peace of mind when traveling and we had that with them. Arley was well cared for and happy to see us -- and it was great to see a few pics of Arley doing well in their home. We will book again in the future.”

“This was Rocco's first stay with Paul & Delia. He adapted well and was very comfortable in their home. When I picked him up he was very happy to see me but I could tell he was well cared for and content. I received pictures while he stayed with them which was very nice to see he was enjoying himself. An added benefit to me is they live in my neighborhood which makes them very convenient. I will definitely use them again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, warmth, and devotion I’ve always given my own. Over the years, I’ve volunteered with puppy rescues, completed dozens of sits for friends, family, and neighbors, and navigated every chapter of a dog’s life, from high-energy puppyhood to the golden senior years. That hands-on experience comes straight from the heart. I spent ten wonderful years with my rescue pup, turning a stubborn, untrained two-year-old into the gentlest giant. Having also lovingly cared for two senior dogs of my own through their final seasons, I have a soft spot for older pets. I am comfortable managing gentle routines, oral medications, mobility support, and extra TLC for pups who need a slower, tender pace. In our home, your pup gets a dedicated two-person care team. My husband also shares a lifelong love of animals, bringing great handling experience from his past background volunteering at animal shelters and working on a ranch with livestock. Together, we provide a calm, attentive environment tailored to your dog's unique personality—whether they need upbeat adventures, structured play, or quiet couch snuggles. Please note: To provide the safest, most attentive care, I only host one family at a time! My calendar is set to 1 dog to prevent mixing separate households, but we happily welcome 2+ sibling dogs from the same home. Because I work from home full-time, pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily life rather than being an afterthought. My flexible schedule lets me offer attentive supervision and adapt to your pup’s established routine. This setup is especially ideal for senior dogs who need frequent potty breaks, scheduled mid-day medications, gentle mobility assistance, or simply the comfort of having someone nearby throughout the day. Whether your dog thrives on quiet company while I work, cozy couch naps, or periodic stretch breaks on a walk, I mirror your home routine as closely as possible, keeping feeding times, nap spots, and light walks on track. Please note: To provide the safest, most dedicated care, I only host one family at a time! My calendar is set to 1 dog to prevent mixing separate households, but I happily welcome 2+ sibling dogs from the same home. Our home is designed to be a calm, clean, low-stress sanctuary where your pup can truly relax. Every detail is set up with safety, joint support, and accessible comfort in mind—largely shaped by the loving care I gave my late senior dog, Kenny. Accessible, Low-Impact Living: • Zero-Stair Access: Our building features an elevator, so aging hips and stiff joints never have to navigate stairs. •Senior-Friendly Furniture: Our furniture is intentionally low to the ground for easy on-and-off access, and dogs are always welcome on the couch! We also have a cozy, dedicated "dog chair" and an orthopedic, human-grade toddler mattress originally purchased to soothe Kenny's arthritis. •Spotless & Fresh Comfort: Your pup's health and hygiene come first. The mattress has protective covers that we sanitize and swap before every doggy arrives, along with fresh blankets. •Cozy & Stocked: While we have a secure patio rather than a yard, our home is filled with plush blankets, orthopedic lounging spots, engaging toys, and healthy treats. Routine & Outdoor Time: We provide multiple walks throughout the day—whether your dog prefers brisk exercise or slow, leisurely walks. Crating & Comfort: Because my late dog had a difficult past with confinement when I rescued, I never forced crating and prioritize open, free-roaming comfort. However, if your dog feels safe in their crate routine, we are happy to accommodate—we just ask that you bring their familiar crate. Above all, we offer a quiet, spotless "hotel" experience where your dog receives five-star comfort and around-the-clock love.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Bark Ranch home-away-from-home, 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 Bark Ranch.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Bark Ranch 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 , 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 .

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.
