“Nutmeg had a wonderful long weekend with Kim and Fred. She got to explore their backyard and went on walks in the neighborhood. I picked up a happy dog today!”
“Maggie was an amazing sitter. Maggie (my dog) had a great stay and was so happy and well cared for. I received photo updates throughout her stay and communication was great.”
“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!”
“Curtis does an amazing job with our Goldendoodle. Extremely reliable, great communicator, and clearly knows what he’s doing. Our dog loves him. Five stars—look no further.”
“This was my second time using Tigran. I felt like the pups were very well taken care of and loved. He sent me videos every day. Great communicator and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend.”
“Rui had great communication, we felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her. I appreciated receiving photo updates! I expect if we need Rui's help watching Maple again, Maple will be happy to see her ☺️”
“This is our second time using Margaret and she was great with our dog Woody both times. Took him to the nearby dog park and sent pictures and vids during his stay with her. We’ll definitely have Woody stay with her again!”
“Wenqi (and Robert and the fur family) were just as I hoped and more. They know and clearly love dogs. Lots of hikes, welcomed my Shiba Inu onto their bed for cuddles, and my dog and their dog and cat played well together after an initial getting to know. Definitely plan to ask for their excellent help again. Happy dog:)”
“Irina was wonderful! Communication was excellent, she was flexible on schedules, and Otto looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future, our little guy was very well taken care of.”
“Simone took such great care of my pup. And it was a super last minute request on my end. My dog is older and needs special medications and she administered everything with such care! She was super communicative, sent pictures, and gave him plenty of love and belly scratches. I would definitely recommend Simone as a trusted dog sitter!”
“Kristina provided a warm and caring environment for Mozart. She was receptive to his current dietary needs and was in touch frequently. Kristina's 2 dogs were friendly and easy going.”
“This was our second time using Lia as a sitter for our girl Sunnie. During Sunnie's stay, Lia took her to the dog park and for walks everyday. She also took Sunnie to get a pup cup on the last day of her stay. She sent us lots of updates and photos of all the fun they were having. I would highly recommend booking Lia as a sitter! She is the best :)”
“Jacqueline was amazing - agreed to care for Auggie at the last minute, so kind and communicative, so loving toward Auggie, and has a great space/yard to host doggies! So grateful, thanks Jacqueline!”
“Our pup was well taken care of. Highly recommend care providers. The next time we go out of town I hope Allison and John are available to take care of ginger again.”
About: I have had 4 dogs since I was twelve years old, 2 German shepherds and two Yorkie/Pomeranians so familiar with different breeds. I have also lived with cats and love all animals! My partner and I are going to get a dog of our own soon but in the meantime I spend lots of time with our friends doggies! I am a PhD student & work from home so can accommodate flexible schedules, and stay home during the days with your pets. My schedule is very flexible and I can fit any dog into my daily or weekly routine. I work remotely and part-time so looking to hang out with more pet friends! I frequently check to ensure there is enough water and feed dogs according to their schedules. I let them out when they have to use the bathroom and walk them 1-2 times a day. But each pet is different so may need to adjust the schedule accordingly!
“Meghan and Hakon are amazing and loved on our pups so much! It was Kinzie’s first stay away and they made her feel so at ease and comfortable in their home. Lincoln is a pro and had a blast. We got plenty of updates and photos and knew our dogs were in great hands. Lincoln and Kinzie look forward to their next stay!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in on, feed, walk, and play with their pets. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m currently balancing caregiving responsibilities while building a new business, which gives me a flexible schedule. I have availability for weekday walks, drop-ins, and visits, as well as weekend boarding with advance scheduling. I’m able to give pets plenty of individual attention and care. I have a small fenced-in yard and one friendly dog who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I provide a safe, calm, and caring home environment and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and specific care instructions. I’m also comfortable with crating when needed and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, attention, and care.
“Richard was very helpful and Fen was very happy when I picked him up. He has a yard that he loved playing in, and I received photos and thorough communication. Will rebook in the future.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
I feel like I won the lottery finding Della. I had to leave town for a family emergency and needed care for high needs, extreme flight risk rescue I adopted just two weeks earlier. The time, attention, and love she gave my pup Ziva was beyond what I could ever hope for. Della's dedication and genuine kindness helped Ziva so much at a very critical time in her journey from a research beagle to happy dog exploring her new world.
Maggie was awesome taking care of our two fur babies for a multiple week stay. She sent us pictures and updates to let us know how they were doing. Our dogs seemed very comfortable and relaxed with her and getting the care and attention they need. We had a very positive experience and would definitely recommend her and book with her again.
This was a great experience. Thank you Emily for being so flexible with a last minute booking! Emily took our high-energy dog on a walk the same night after we dropped her off and the next morning so she would feel more comfortable. Nyla came back seeming like she did well. Thanks a lot!
Sean and Kim took wonderful care of my dog, Dakota, for two and a half weeks while my husband and I were out of town. Dakota has anxiety issues and they were very patient and caring with her, making her feel at home in their very dog-friendly house. Dakota enjoyed the company of their dog, Denver, and the other dogs who visited. She also loved being able to go on walks every day. Sean and Kim are very knowledgeable and experienced dog sitters. After the meet and greet I felt very confident that they would take great care of my girl and they certainly did. Dakota settled in after a few days and was very comfortable with them. I am very grateful to have found Sean and Kim and wish I had met them sooner. They are terrific!!
Clover was the best dog sitter we could’ve asked for while we were away for 10 days. She was heaven sent!! She took care of my 2 Labs as if they were her own. Will definitely be using her again and again!! She sent pictures of the pups while we were away, and kept us updated the whole time. Couldn’t recommend Clover enough!!!
Julie took such good care of my 12 yr old dog, Buzz. I can’t say enough how much fun and how comfortable he looked during his stay. Alice was very sharing and cuddly with him. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Buzz had an exceptional stay and received all his medicines he takes as an older pup with some health issues.
Madeline is wonderful!! She takes the care of your dog very seriously - she really took the time to learn about our dog, and was so thoughtful about his individual needs and temperament. Can’t recommend her enough, we were so sure he was safe and cared for with Madeline!

96% of sitters in Boulder 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 Boulder 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 Boulder.
<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 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.

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.

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.
