“Georgia took great care of Zia! She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. She handled Zia's special diet and medications with ease and was very attentive to all her needs. Highly recommend!”
“Maggie is the best! She watched our 2 dachshunds for 5 nights and took care of them as if they were her own. When we picked them up, Maggie was ready with everything neatly packed up and the dogs looking happy, warm, and well taken care of. We couldn’t have found someone better to take care of our 2 fur babies. Dachshunds are notoriously stubborn, yet Maggie worked her magic and got them in a routine so that everyone was happy. We couldn’t recommend Maggie more for anyone who wants the peace of mind that their dog(s) are in safe, loving hands while they are gone. Choose Maggie!”
“Fred and Kim were so great with Nancy! This was my first time boarding her and they made her feel incredibly comfortable and welcome in a new space. They sent updates which I greatly appreciated as well.”
“Wookiee was well cared for, thank you!! A little more communication throughout his stay would have been nice; otherwise, he came back very happy! I'd book with Elizabeth again.”
“We had never used Rover before and needed help last minute. Misty was available, affordable, and the absolute best choice for our dog Rosemary! She kept us updated several times a day and sent pictures of our very happy pup. Rosemary settled in easily and was extremely well cared for. We will 100% use Misty again in the future. Thank you, Misty, for loving Rosemary as much as we do!”
“Katya was so kind, and very communicative. She took in Ash, and cared for him well. He looked so happy coming from her place, and that's all I want to see. You can count on Katya!”
About: My dog is my top priority, and yours will be too! I’m able to take your dog on hikes, runs, and have some fun time with my 2 year old husky/heeler mix. Lots of cuddles, exercise, and fun time, while ensuring proper dog to dog boundaries. I have experience caring for dogs from puppies to seniors. I work from home full time, and so am able to provide care for your pets throughout the day. My home is best for small and medium dogs (up to 60lbs). I am unable to care for dogs under 1 year old. Additionally your dog must be: 1) dog friendly, with no history of aggression towards dogs 2) people friendly 3) house trained 4) sleeps through the night I have a fenced yard and one playful two year old husky/heeler mix. Care can include yard play time, leashed walks, hikes, or runs, depending on the needs of your dog! I am also able to keep up with training and obedience with your dog, whether that includes reactivity, leash walking, jumping etc. A meet and greet is required before I am able to book new dogs.
“Elise was wonderful! Our pup liked her immediately- she has a friendly, warm energy about her. She sent us updates and pics throughout the weekend. Elise is the kind of person you can trust will take great care of your baby :)”
“Amazing sitter!! Tigran gave me frequent updates and plenty of exercise for the fur babies!! My dogs came home super happy and tired. Would highly recommend Tigran!”
About: I grew up with dogs and did most of the training for our most recent one. Crate training, leash manners, basic commands, and all the patience the puppy stage requires. I'm comfortable across the range, from high-energy young dogs to seniors who need a slower pace. Every dog gets what suits them. Some want a couple of good long walks and a lot of couch time; some want to come out for a few miles with me, since I run regularly. I'm happy either way, and I'll follow whatever routine you already have going. I'm also a certified EMT, so I stay calm when things come up. And my own dog is back home with my family. I miss having one around, so yours gets plenty of attention while they're with me. My schedule has a lot of built-in dog time. Weekends I'm free all day. On weekdays I'm home mornings until around 10 and back in the afternoons, with class in the middle of the day — so your dog gets a solid walk and attention on both ends, and a quiet stretch to nap in between. My only other regular commitments are Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening. That routine suits most dogs fine. If yours has a hard time being alone for a few hours, tell me before you book and we'll figure out whether it's a good fit. In your home, I stick to whatever routine your dog already knows. Same feeding times, same walk spots, same rules about furniture and doors. I'd rather learn your system than impose mine, so leave me detailed notes and I'll follow them. I'll send photos and a quick update each day so you know how things are going. In my place, dogs have run of the space and are welcome on the furniture unless you'd rather they weren't. Fresh water always out, feeding on your schedule, and walks morning and afternoon. If your dog is crate-trained and more settled that way, that works too. Either way, I'll ask up front about medications, allergies, leash reactivity, and anything that tends to set your dog off. I'd rather have too much information than not enough.
“Della took great care of our pup. She’s a senior dog with some anxiety and very limited experience staying with people outside of our family. Della’s warm energy put both our dog and me at ease about her stay. We returned from our vacation to find our dog happy and healthy and enjoyed receiving updates about how she was doing while we were away. We’ll definitely return to Della the next time we need to board our dog.”
“Very thankful to Sarah for caring for my pup who was having digestion issues during her stay - and for Sarah having to deal with that over the New Years holiday. Thank you again Sarah!”
“Emily took wonderful care of our pup Mara. We reached out very last minute for a weekend sitting request, and Emily even found time to meet us for a meet and greet the day before we dropped Mara off. She sent regular updates on how Mara was doing, and she was clearly having a great time with her, Emily’s dog Osito, and Emily’s son. Would 100% book with Emily again!”
“Sebastian was great with Enzo and very responsive to messages and also accommodated a last minute extended stay! Would use him again to watch my Enzo”
“Sophia was a great sitter for my 1-year-old puppy Maple for 10 days! Her dog and cat are friendly and adorable and Maple liked having four-legged friends to play with. Sophia sent pictures of Maple out at parks and playing and relaxing with her furry buddies almost every day. She was flexible and understanding when our return flight was delayed and we had to pick Maple up after 11pm. Maple came home tired and happy and clean and clearly well cared for.”
“This was the second time Curtis and his wife took care of our dog, Bono, and once again they were amazing. They treated him like their own and gave us complete peace of mind over the holidays. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them again.”
“Andrea was great with our dog Abbey. She sent us updates and photos every day and we could see from the photos that Abbey was relaxed and enjoying herself. Andrea is friendly, kind and thoughtful. We will definitely have Andrea sit for Abbey again in the future.”
“Amy was great to work with! She gave Dixie a lot of love and attention with lots of updates! You can tell she loves dogs and is attentive to details. Would definitely recommend and would leave my girl with her anytime!”

My dog Yodi had excellent care and company with Emily and her dog, communication about aspects of Yodi's care prior to the stay were easy, and I received daily updates with photos, which put me at ease. Also I was able to make the booking at a very short notice, we did a quick meet and greet prior to confirming the booking, so everything was great and went smoothly, I am grateful!
Meera was so great with Luna!! I appreciated that she gave us daily updates with lots of pictures and videos. She also let us know how she was doing and if she was eating all of her food. It looks like Luna and their dog Zuko had a blast together! Zuko was extremely sweet and respectful and such a perfect playmate for Luna. We most definitely want to have Meera watch Luna again!
As soon as we met Celia for the first time we could sense that she is truly someone special. And our pup Bennie shared that feeling. He immediately felt right at home with her. Celia took such wonderful care of Bennie and sent us pictures and let us know how he was doing. We so much hope that he can stay with her again and we know Bennie would love to as well!! Thank you Celia!! 💜💜💙💙
Rui was hands down one of the best Rover sitters we’ve ever had. We needed a sitter for our wedding weekend in Lyons, and since our venue only allowed dogs during the ceremony, the logistics were tricky. Rui made everything completely stress-free. She dropped our dogs off right on time for the ceremony, waited patiently during the service, and safely drove them back to Boulder for the night. She went above and beyond with every single detail and over-communicated throughout the entire weekend. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our wedding weekend. 10/10.
Sophia was a great sitter for my 1-year-old puppy Maple for 10 days! Her dog and cat are friendly and adorable and Maple liked having four-legged friends to play with. Sophia sent pictures of Maple out at parks and playing and relaxing with her furry buddies almost every day. She was flexible and understanding when our return flight was delayed and we had to pick Maple up after 11pm. Maple came home tired and happy and clean and clearly well cared for.
Dana and her family were absolutely wonderful! They were able to take Bear and Molly at the very last minute for the weekend, and I couldn’t be more grateful. They welcomed them into their home and treated them like part of the family, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The kids were so amazing with them as well! Both dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your pets, especially on short notice. I would absolutely recommend Dana and her family and would not hesitate to have Bear and Molly stay with them again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Boulder on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,115 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Boulder. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Boulder sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Boulder landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Boulder 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 Boulder.
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.
You and your Boulder 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.
