“I can’t put into words how happy my fiancé and I were with Joan. Our dog is an introverted and shy girl, and Joan did an amazing job letting us know how she was doing our whole trip. Our pup had a blast in the expansive yard and getting to exercise and play with other dogs all day! Joan was sure to exercise her and keep her stimulated. We just got her back and she is resting from a fun and welcoming stay. Joan treated her like her own dog, and made us feel at ease our whole trip. We trust and will use her again! Thanks again Joan!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old and grew up around a wide variety of pets. I’m a genuine animal lover and understand that every dog has a different personality, energy level, and comfort needs. I currently have an 8 YO chocolate lab who has never met a dog (or person) he doesn’t like. Because of that, I’m very experienced with socialization, active dogs, and reading canine behavior. I’m also certified in Cat & Dog First Aid through the American Red Cross, so your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always a top priority. Whether your pup loves adventures and hikes or prefers a calm and relaxing environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like family. I work for a local public safety agency, which gives me 4 consecutive days off every week and a very flexible schedule. On my days off, I spend a lot of time outdoors and typically take dogs on hikes, walks, and adventures around Summit County. Because of my schedule, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day instead of leaving pets alone for long periods of time. I live in a single family residence with a private yard, giving your pup space to relax, play, and decompress if needed. I can also provide crate accommodations for dogs who are crate trained or more comfortable with their own space. I always prioritize safety, supervision, and a calm environment. I take time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and secure while in my care.

“Absolutely amazing! Cori was so welcoming and kind to my dogs. It was my first time using Rover and Cori was beyond helpful. I dropped my dogs off with her to undergo a surgery in Denver and Cori was absolutely fantastic with communication and posted updates on how much fun the dogs were having. It was really a huge stress taken off my shoulder. Her place seemed perfect for active dogs like mine with a good trail very close by.”

“Sue was great with my 2 dogs when they stayed with her overnight. She is easy to communicate with and knowledgeable. They seemed to enjoy their stay and were happy and relaxed when I picked them up. I would have my pups stay with her again in the future!”

“Bridget is incredible! She took excellent care of my high energy dog and send lots of updates. Bridget was very accommodating and flexible with my flight delays. Highly recommend!!”

“Jenna took such good care of my dog, taking him on a great hike for the day I needed her to watch him (even with a short notice of needing her sitting help) Very happy and would recommend!”

“Joelle was absolutely amazing with my reactive 8-year old! It’s always a little scary leaving your baby with someone new but Joelle had me at ease from the very first meet and greet. She was great about keeping me updated and sent me lots of photos from her walks. She was also super flexible and accommodating when I had to change pickup plans on the fly. I would have her watch Luna again in a heartbeat.”

About: Hi! I’m Stuss — a firefighter/paramedic and lifelong dog person based near Keystone/Dillon. Outside of work I volunteer at the Frisco Animal Shelter and with Summit Lost Pet Rescue, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of dogs: puppies, seniors, shy dogs, reactive dogs etc. I’ve also owned two dogs through their whole lives, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your best friend with someone else. My setup is simple: I only take one dog at a time (or two from the same household). That means your dog gets my full attention, a calm environment, and care that’s tailored to their routine — not a busy “pack” situation. I donate 20% of my earnings on Rover to the local animal shelter/rescue work I support. My work schedule is 48 hour shifts, and then I have a block of 4 days off. Some of those days I go on adventures, and some of those days I chill around the house. Those "rest days" are when I open my calendar up for dog sitting, so, your dog(s) will have my company all day while I'm at home doing chores, relaxing, and getting outside. I love to hike year round and I will take your dog with me, if they're up for it. I always match the day to your dog. Energetic dogs can join for longer walks/hikes, and seniors can take it slow with short strolls and extra couch time. I live in a ground-floor condo at the end of a quiet street with trails and open space nearby. With your permission, I also drive a few minutes to local trailheads for variety, and I kind of specialize in knowing quiet places to hike without the crowds. I live alone in a quiet, uncluttered home — great for dogs who do best in a calm space. Dogs are welcome on the couch and bed (unless you prefer otherwise). I stick closely to your dog’s normal routine: meals, meds, potty schedule, exercise, and any special instructions.

“Our 2 year old golden had a fabulous time with Jamie’s other dogs and the setting she has for dog sitting is great! Jamie was communicative and quick to respond to any questions. We won’t hesitate to use Jamie again!”


“Ken was even better than I could have hoped for. He took Nerf on a lot of walks, to meet and play with other dogs, and went above and beyond to give Nerf a great weekend.”

“Mozelle was great with my two dogs, and very communicative with me! I felt confident the dogs were in good hands. She was very flexible and gentle with my older, skittish dog. And she let my younger dog meet her rabbits! Would highly recommend. Thank you Mozelle!”

About: Being around and caring for dogs is a passion of mine! I love to give any kind of attention the pet wants, from getting out on a good walk, playing catch, or just getting a good snuggle in. I've had two senior dogs in my life and caring for them holds a special place in my heart. I'm new to Rover so that's why there's not any reviews yet, but give me a chance and you'll be happy with my services! My schedule can be flexible at times. I work 4 nights a week, but am available most mornings and afternoons. I also work from home so I spend a good amount of time at home. I have a great neighborhood where walks are fun. I also love to take dogs on adventures - like hikes or to the park (if that's what they like).

About: I was a foster parent for the Larimer Humane Society for years, have been around animals since I was a child. I love hanging out with pets of all shapes and sizes. Cant wait to walk and talk to pets. Walk outside first thing in the morning, breath of fresh air for the pet and myself, snacks & treats inside, play time, nap time, treat time, walk time, food, snacks, walks, play. All at the animal's preference and best needed. I have a long leash and close eye on pets. Able to put pets into a kennel or remove any negative impacts quickly. The pet's needs are first and foremost important.
“Demetria and Jonathan took such great care of Ham and we couldn’t be more grateful! He was given lots of love, pets, walks, and time laying around in their fenced backyard (which he LOVES to do). Truly felt that they treated him like he was one of their own and that’s the most you can hope for from a dog sitter. He barely wanted to even leave when we came to pick him up 😂 that shows you how kind they were to him!”

“Theo was Ben’s first pup to sit through Rover. I was a little apprehensive just because he didn’t have any reviews yet, but after communicating with him I decided to give him the opportunity. He eased my mind by offering to do whatever it took to make me feel comfortable. I suggested a meet and greet & he agreed. He was super communicative and helped me feel at ease. While Theo was in his care, he sent frequent updates and photos. I was very happy with the level of service Ben provided. Would definitely use him again if I’m ever in the area again. I highly recommend!”
“Karen was an absolute lifesaver for us! We had friends visiting with their kids, and managing two dogs on top of everything would have been a lot, so having Bondi stay with her for a few days made all the difference. Karen kept us completely at ease by posting frequent updates and sharing lots of photos. From every picture, it was clear that Bondi was having the best time and getting so much love and attention. It really meant a lot to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Bondi and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after their pup!”

About: I love taking pets on walks, love giving them attention they need and deserve. Love helping other people when they need it the most c I am free everyday and every week whenever needed! Love giving a helping hand to others and pet they need the attention they deserve c I have a fenced in yard and woods in the book and a puppy named Izzy to keep them company and can crate them if needed
Blue River dog parents share their Rover experiences
Holly was absolutely amazing. She helped me on such short notice and my dog Hank absolutely loved his weekend with her and her dog Clover. I would recommend Holly to anyone. She asked really thoughtful questions when we met about Hank and sent some amazing photos along the way so I could see how happy he was. I’ll definitely reach out to her again next time we’re in town!

Tim is the best! He was more than accommodating with our crazy plans. Hunter, our 10 year old rescue of 2 years was in the best hands. Tim figured out Hunter’s quirks and gave him a week of his best life going for walks down the trail and playing in the snow, on top of being Hunter’s best friend for the week. Tim kept us updated with texts and pictures, calming our anxiety of leaving Hunter for the week. I can’t say enough about Tim and his heart and professionalism!
We had a very late booking with a family emergency I had to fly back to CA for. They were so easy to work with, adaptable to the changes that had to work for the both of us... annnnd their dog was so easy going with smokey, felt like they were best friends. Smokey got amazing care and was happy as she could possible be leaving. Could not thank them enough
