“Donovan took good care of our unusual buddies over Thanksgiving week and made it possible to enjoy a nice vacation without worrying. Daily updates and good response to feedback made me feel reassured.”

“Melissa was great! She was super communicative and responsive. We really appreciated the updates on how our cat was doing especially after a big thunderstorm. Would love to have her cat sit again.”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have helped care for them from when they were puppies through adulthood. Over the years, I’ve helped with daily walks, feeding, playtime, training reinforcement, and making sure they get plenty of attention and exercise. I’ve also helped care for dogs belonging to family members, which has given me experience with different breeds, personalities, and energy levels. Growing up with dogs has taught me how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s unique personality is when caring for them. I’m currently a graduate student doing research, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate walks throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so fitting dog walks into my daily routine comes naturally. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, regular exercise, or some extra attention during the day, I’ll work to provide reliable and consistent care. When caring for pets, my priority is always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand every dog has different personalities, energy levels, and routines, so I try to adapt to what works best for them. Whether in your home or out on walks, I focus on keeping pets safe, giving them plenty of attention, and following any instructions or routines you provide to ensure consistency and trust.
“Tina was amazing with Loki while we were away for the weekend. She’s obviously been around dogs with different dispositions, and was comfortable with our big, nervous pup. There was a glitch with another caretaker having Loki on a walk when Tina arrived to be with Loki. When Tina couldn’t find Loki, she contacted me immediately then talked to our neighbor to see if she knew where he might be. She did everything perfectly! I will definitely ask Tina to help again and highly recommend her to others.”

“Lali was incredible and we would recommend her sitting services to anyone!! On a daily basis, she sent my wife and I photo updates of our two dogs as well as short reports on what they did and how they spent their time together. We would leave six stars out of five if we could!!!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have six years of professional experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether I’m helping a friend, family member, or client, I treat every pet with the same love and care I would give my own. I am certified in Dog and Cat First Aid through the American Red Cross. I have a flexible schedule and an active lifestyle, so pets in my care get plenty of attention and exercise throughout the day. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed, so I’m always happy to follow their usual schedule to make their stay feel as close to home as possible. Your pet's safety and happiness always come first. I live right next to North Boulder Park, so there's plenty of space to play and explore! I have a 30ft long training leash so we can safely play fetch and frisbee together, and I also live right by some great trails if your dog enjoys hiking. While I adore hosting social dogs, my home is also a great environment for dogs who prefer to be the only pet in the home, since I accept only one client at a time. I'm happy to accommodate multiple dogs from the same household, though!
“Wenqi took great care of Kitty, provided very helpful updates and pictures, and even played with her for extended periods of time. Thanks for much for taking care of her!”


About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, from volunteering at animal shelters to eventually managing one, I have such a passion for animal wellness. If you are visiting Boulder and need day care for your dog while you take on a challenging hike, attend an event, I’m your pets home-away-from-home. I can give meds to pets, care for any special needs they have and work with high energy or “difficult” pets. I love them all, from hyper mouthy puppies to needy seniors! Our backyard is a 1/2 acre completely privacy fenced in so the pups will get plenty of exercise in addition to daily walks! I'm also an avid runner and am happy to accommodate daily runs if needed. I’m currently a part-time data scientist exploring new employment opportunities with an incredible passion for pets. I’ve previously managed an Animal Shelter and trained volunteers on both feline and canine behavior. I am a foster for Longmont Humane Society and am a rescue mom to three cats and two dogs. I have a half acre privacy fenced backyard for pets that visit. I have a large SUV for transporting pets that want an adventure or need daycare pet sitting.

About: although i don’t currently have any pups, i grew up with dogs in the home and frequently assist my mom with her four hounds 🦴 i’ve worked as a vet assistant in a hospital with dogs; which means happy to help administer meds if kiddo tolerates it well! happy and looking forward to taking your pup on a walk, out to play, and most importantly provide care while you are away! 🩶 i work monday - friday typically with the exception of tuesdays. happy to offer dog walks and cat care in the evening depending on the other days of the week! my own cats are spoiled, but i like to say there’s never such thing as a spoiled pet; only a very well loved and taken care of one 🤍
“We have used Mattie-Clark twice now and can not recommend more! Mattie-Clark is reliable, great at communicating and very kind! I feel so safe knowing my cat is in Mattie-Clark’s hands when I go out of town :) thank youuu”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for a year for a 1-year-old, now 2 years old, lab puppy. I am offering walks, drop in visits, and day care. I mostly work from home as I finish up nursing school, so I am often free for care! I only work twice a week and will be free entirely for the next few months as I study for my NCLEX for nursing. Pet care would be a happy distraction and a great use of my free time! I always give 100% of my attention to the animals I care for and love taking them for walks and playing outside! I am always sure to bring a toy and make the animal feel as comfortable as possible with a new friend.
About: I’ve been around dogs from as early as I can remember, always going for walks or hikes with my own dogs or others’! I have experience taking care of senior dogs, dogs with health issues, and younger, more rambunctious dogs. I have experience taking care of and making homesick dogs feel more comfortable and safe when their family is gone. I’m always willing to welcome any and all dogs into my home and do my best to provide a home away from home, giving them all the love I can until their family comes home! I’m currently in school, however I’m only gone for three hours at a time, and am home for the night by 4 everyday giving me plenty of time to hang out and love on your pup, so they will never feel abandoned when you’re gone! I have a big, fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pup to roam, as well as plenty of room for them to wander around the house with it also being pet safe! I keep my house pretty clean so there’s not anything that your pup could easily get into helping make you feel comfortable and give you ease-of-mind allowing you to enjoy yourself on vacation or stay focused on whatever you’re doing while away!

About: Hello fellow pet lovers!! My name is Natalia, I am a college student in psychology looking for some quality time taking care of whatever furry (or not furry) companion you have! I am originally from mexico so I am fluent in both English and Spanish in case you have a Hispanic fella :) I have experience babysitting with families with dogs, and grew up with a big dog of my own so I know all about what it takes to properly care for the big guys too. I can administer medication and also go take the really active fellas on runs. I’m a college student but I don’t currently have a job so the only thing on my schedule are my classes. I’m available all throughout weekends and in the evenings most weekdays, but I can also be very flexible and tweak my schedule to accommodate yours I am very aware of what happens around me so I can react quickly to anything that happens. Grew up with a big dog so I’ll be able to handle any size of dog.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, I have plenty of experience with cats, and I have pet sit for numerous friends and family in the past. I am a huge animal lover and I am confident handling pets of any age or size. I am a recent graduate of CU Boulder with some extra time to kill before I head off to graduate school this fall, and I would love to spend it with your pet! I have full availability this summer while I wait to attend medical school in the fall. My schedule is very flexible and can accommodate a wide range of needs and time constraints. Overnights, late night check ins, and walks in the middle of the day are no problem! My only limitation is that I am not able to offer boarding at my house. My number one priority is maintaining the safety of your pet and your home. Not only will I keep your space tidy and clean, but I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet is happy and healthy. My pets are treated as members of the family, and I will make sure that yours are given the same amount of love.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 12, but there’s never been a moment in my life where I haven’t owned an animal. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages. From six puppies to two full grown Great Pyrenees’s, I’ve done it all! I also have lots of experience with cats, with people saying I can get the meanest cat to love me. Animals truly hold such a special place in my heart, so I’d be happy to take care of yours! I currently have a freelancing job, which allows me to take care of your pet at any time! I naturally get up early so there’s no need to worry about me arriving late. I have primarily pet sit at others homes, and each time I make sure to familiarize myself with the pets routine to ensure a stress-free visit!

“Cozmo is not an easy dog to manage but Crystal did a fantastic job keeping him happy and cared for. Couldn't ask for more than knowing my dog was safe and happy with her!!”

I am dependable, responsible, and committed to providing attentive, loving care.

About: I have been a dog lover/owner/caretaker my entire life.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
Falecia is amazing! She takes such great care of our dog, and is always prompt and communicative. We love that we get photo updates when she comes for a walk. She also looks out for our house by bringing packages inside which we greatly appreciate. Thank you Falecia!

We just used J'Ana for the first time and she seems great! She takes her cue from our dog, and goes along with what he wants to do, which seems like the best plan for the first visit. All his needs were met, especially the belly rubs. He seemed happy when we came home, so we will definitely be using J'Ana again soon! Thank you J'Ana!

Addisen was a fantastic pet sitter for my little girl! She provided excellent communication throughout the stay and sent wonderful photos that gave me peace of mind and made my day. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I would absolutely hire Addisen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Samantha was professional, friendly and personable. She took extra great care of my pets!! I felt very at ease leaving her in charge. She went above and beyond. She took pics and sent a note everyday as well. I appreciate having had met such a caring sitter through Rover and will definitely contact again if she is available!

Hanna did an amazing job from start to finish! She took the time to meet my dog ahead of time to make sure she was comfortable with her and was super patient. Best thing about Hanna is her communication! She’s was super responsive throughout the whole process. I highly recommend her to anyone and will for sure be booking again in the future!

I can't say enough good things about Kristen. She's always prompt, and seems to enjoy visiting my dog. He is very happy when I return home, so I know he's had a good time. Kristen keeps plugging away, trying to increase the length of walks for my reluctant walker. And I really appreciate her quick response when I try to book her...not all the Rover people are good about that.

Allie did a wonderful job with my little girl! She was so sweet, attentive, and caring with her the entire time. I also loved the photographs she sent — it was so nice getting updates and seeing how happy my pup was. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would absolutely recommend her!

She was absolutely wonderful! We had a booking fall through very last minute and she came to our emergency rescue so quickly! She answered right away, was able to come to the dogs within an hour of us needing her help! Not only was she was super sweet, helpful, respectful, come to our rescue and responsive she treated my dogs with so much kindness! She kept me updated every step and took lots of pictures! She will definitely be our go to for the future. Thank you so much! Definitely put my heart at ease since this was my first watch! 100% recommend!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Boulder stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Boulder choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Boulder with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
