We are so grateful for how she handled it, and tofu was so happy and healthy when we got home. Chloe is trustworthy, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her!”
“She has been an amazing walker for my pup! She has worked on training exercises while walking with her and spoiling her with treats. My dog is obsessed with her and looks forward to seeing her every time. Thank you for taking such good care of her!!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life, big and small, adopted off the streets and formed loving bonds with them all. I am new to Boulder and would love to walk/sit your little friend and get them out and about for potty breaks and exercise! My day job is in physical therapy where my schedule is determined byy client’s availability. So I have down time periods throughout the day that I would love to walk dogs during! I am very respectful of clients houses, safety like locking doors, and pet safety. I always make sure to keep my distance between other dogs as I do not know if those other dogs are friendly and I make sure a clients house is just as I found it when I leave.
“Emily was amazing with Moose. She took him out for several walks as he was recovering from surgery and made sure that he had the right balance of being able to get some activity without overdoing it. She also made sure he had his “lunch”, a pill in a pill pocket, and water & got the cone back on him once he came back. It was such a relief to know that he was taken care of while I was at work.”
About: I am currently studying physiology to go into animal rehabilitation at CU Boulder. I spent the last year working in a dog kennel/boarding facility and have experience with large dogs, multiple dogs at the same time, and administering meds. As well as growing up with dogs I am still the biggest dog lover and would love to care for some pups :). I split my time between Boulder and Golden. I am a student with a very open schedule, such as availability in the morning, afternoons and at night. I do have a part-time job, I regularly work weekends for a few hours at a time. I always ensure enough play time/socializing if they’re home alone the rest of the time. If the owners are comfortable I love to take the dogs out for a hike or a run. I am comfortable with getting dogs in a crate or car as well as working with reactive dogs.
About: I have over 5 years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, and I truly love what I do. I’ve worked with all kinds of pets, from furry companions like dogs and cats to reptiles and other unique animals, so I’m comfortable adapting to different needs and personalities. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and quick to learn each pet’s routine.

“Tina was prompt and communicated prior for meet and greet as well as showing up for Callie and keeping me informed as to how the walks went. I consider Tina to be very reliable and will entrust in her again to walk/sit Callie in the future.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 13, primarily caring for cats and dogs. My experience includes dog walking, feeding, playtime, administering basic routines, and cleaning litter boxes. I’ve especially worked with older cats and dogs, so I understand the extra patience, attentiveness, and gentle care they often need. I also have two cats of my own back home, giving me firsthand experience in daily responsibilities and expectations of being a pet owner. Because of this, I’m very mindful about my care towards your pet! I’m currently a second-year, first-generation student at CU Boulder, balancing school and a Work-Study position. I’m generally available Thursday through Monday after 1 PM and can be flexible with advance notice. When I house sit I treat every home with respect, focusing on your pet while you’re away. I understand leaving your home and furry friend to a stranger can be worrisome so I do my best to comfort your pet and keep your space the way you like it.
About: I have been a dog lover ever since I was a kid. I grew up walking and taking care of my neighbors and family members dogs just for the love of the game.

Overall, I love animals so much it would make my day to just walk a dog or dog/cat sit! I am a current student at CU Boulder. During the summer I have a lot of free time that I would love to fill up with fun walks, playing, or sitting your pets! In the fall when school season starts, I definitely still have time to take care of your pet needs but will be running on a bit tighter schedule! I live in an apartment but your pets will be able to roam free if you would like, or I can keep them fenced if you have a little gate I could section a part of my living room! I can also follow crate training as well. I am unable to provide any food, crates, beds, litter boxes. bowls, leashes, or poop bags so please have them brought over when your pet is being boarded!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
Lindsay is an incredibly thoughtful, kind, and responsible dog walker. She asked really through questions about backup plans and care ideas for Tofu we hadn’t thought of. She did two walks in one day for us which easy on Tofu and so helpful for us. Tofu loves her and we hope to work together again! Would highly recommend Lindsay!
We accidentally gave Chloe the wrong address, which we know was a huge inconvenience. Despite the mix-up, she was incredibly gracious, didn't give up, and made sure our dog got a great walk. We are so grateful for how she handled it, and tofu was so happy and healthy when we got home. Chloe is trustworthy, kind, and truly goes above and beyond. We highly recommend her!
Willa is so professional, sweet, and really knows dogs! Not just anyone can walk my huskies and Willa was amazing. They loved her and so do I! I asked her to come at 7:30 am and she was right on time, smiling, and ready to hit the trails. My boys were happy and relaxed when I returned. We highly recommend Willa and will see her again soon.
There are people who simply provide a service, and then there are people who become an indispensable part of your life. Ariel is firmly in the latter category. She became a trusted partner during a particularly difficult chapter while I was recovering from major surgery. Knowing that Milo was in her care brought a level of reassurance that is hard to overstate. Aerial is dependability personified, always on time, often to the minute, with clear, prompt communication and remarkable flexibility whenever last-minute changes arose. Not once did those adjustments come with the slightest hint of frustration or attitude. She simply found a way to make things work. What truly sets her apart, however, is her relationship with dogs. She genuinely loves Milo, and it’s obvious he feels the same. She has the rare combination of warmth, confidence, and deep experience that allows her to take charge naturally. Her calm, capable presence inspires trust, and you immediately know your dog is in exceptionally good hands. My gratitude for Ariel goes far beyond dog walking. She provided peace of mind when I needed it most, and for that I will always be thankful. I recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dog with professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection. Absolute Gem!!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Boulder. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Boulder.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boulder. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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 walker.
