“Lovenda watched my two-year-old mix breed dog Georgina for eight days. I felt confident leaving Georgie because Lovenda’s house was very clean with a fenced in backyard. Happily, Lovenda went above and beyond the excepted Rover duties to care for my pup. She took Georgie and her own dog Diesel swimming at the reservoir, hiking at Rye, and to play at the dog park. Diesel and Georgie became fast friends. Lovenda sent me regular updates with pictures and communicated promptly about pick up and drop off. I plan on hiring Lovenda again and would recommend her to other dog parents in Pueblo.”
“Rikki was great. We needed a sitter on a short notice and she was very accommodating. Communication was great. Rikki sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog. Our dog loved her. Thanks Rikki!”
“This was Luna Bean's second stay with Becky, and once again it was a wonderful experience for both myself and my pet! Luna stayed with Becky and her dogs for 5 days. I was updated with messages and pictures throughout Luna's stay and Becky was super flexible with my pick up and drop off schedule. I would definitely recommend Becky to other pet owners and I plan to entrust the care of my Luna Bean to her in the future!”
“Our boys were very comfortable right away. We know they loved their stay and Johnathan sent lots of pictures. One of the boys is a picky eater and gets stressed so we were worried at first but he ate well and wasn’t stressed at all.”
About: I've worked with dogs as a Vet assistant for the last 7 years. I have always loved working with animals! I am a trusted dog sitter for close family and friends. I enjoy doing daily activities with the dogs I care for, loving on them, then sending them home refreshed with a nice bath so they are clean for pickup. I am available 7 days a week to care for pups of all ages and sizes. I am home most days all day, so I am able to provide complete supervision and activities for your pet. I am good with pets and making them feel comfortable and loved. I have a fenced in yard with a separate fenced yard just for pets. I have two friendly dogs that will keep your pet company with their stay, but will be kept separate and will not interact with your pups one on one.
“Leilani was great! Rubble got along with her pup and came home super happy! She was flexible and communicative, and sent pics over the weekend. 10/10 will book with Leilani again!”
About: Hi there! I'm Raylee, and I have years of experience as a dedicated dog walker and sitter here in Pueblo. My love for animals runs deep, and I've had the joy of caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it's a spirited walk through the park or a cozy stay at home, I make sure your furry friend gets the exercise, attention, and love they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring their safety and happiness at all times. With me, you can rest easy knowing your beloved companion is in caring and capable hands. Can't wait to meet your pup and make some wag-tastic memories together! Balancing pet care with my school schedule is something I take pride in. I make sure to plan my dog walking and sitting appointments around my classes and homework, so I can give each pet the attention they deserve. Typically, I walk dogs in the early mornings before school and in the afternoons once classes are done. Weekends are more flexible, allowing me to offer extended care or additional walks. Most nights are also available, so I can provide evening walks or overnight sitting as needed. My passion for animals motivates me to manage my time effectively, ensuring that every pet gets the exercise, love, and care they need, while I stay on top of my studies. I care for pets in my home and others homes as I have one border collie who is really good with other pets and definitely knows how to exhaust your pets with all of his energy! 🐾
About: I am a passionate dog owner and animal lover. I have experience with fostering and rehabilitating dogs. I am very invested in animals receiving appropriate interaction and mental and physical stimulation daily. All animals big and small are welcome to my services. For sitting at my home, I have a fully fenced in back yard where dogs can stretch their legs at any time of day, safely enclosed on the property. I have very friendly dogs that can provide companionship and socialization for pets. I have experience with basic to intermediate dog training and am always happy to help an animal reach their potential!! At this time I do only freelance work, so my availability is open for any of your petsitting needs whether its a midday potty and play break, an overnight stay, or a full vacation. I have a fenced in back yard for frequent bathroom breaks. My dog is very well mannered and spend most of their time roaming the house/napping/playing, but is also crate trained for times when they need to be out of the way for their safety. I would host dogs in similar conditions, or come to them at their home in their usual conditions and routine

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.

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.
95% of sitters in Baxter 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 Baxter 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 Baxter.
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 Baxter. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 Baxter 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.
