About: I absolutely love dogs. All dogs, period. I have a deep understanding of each dog's unique needs, quirks, and preferences, and I make sure to give a tailored experience that goes beyond routine tasks. I strive to create a home away from home for your dogs and make sure they are comfortable as well as you. I currently work in the early afternoons with two days off during the week with full availability. I am an early bird and can be there for your dog as early as 6:30am until about 12:00pm. Safe Space: Designate a specific area or room for the pet, providing them with a sense of security. Exercise and Playtime: Engage in regular play sessions and take your pet for walks or provide a secure outdoor space for them to explore. Social Interaction: Spend quality time with your pet to prevent loneliness and anxiety. Provide toys and enrichment activities to keep them mentally stimulated. Emergency Plan: Be prepared for emergencies by having a first aid kit and knowing the location of the nearest veterinary clinic.
“Margaret was great! She was flexible when we changed our pickup time and very easy to communicate with. Our dog was able to play with other dogs and was worn out (in a good way) when we picked her up at the end of the weekend.”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and frequently take care of pets in my hometown, I recently moved to Boulder for school and have plenty of time and energy to care for pets here :) I’m a student at CU boulder but I have a very light schedule this year so I’m only in class for about 3 hours a day, I will happily spend the rest of my day with an animal :) I have no other pets and i am right Nextdoor to a fenced in dog run, my apartment complex is very pet friendly and everyone that I’ve met here is very respectful of other dogs.
“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.”

About: I have taken care of dog since I was 8 years old! I had an adorable black lab for ten years who slept in my bed every night and I was responsible for! I absolutely love all dogs and have dog sat hear and their since his passing! I I’m currently a student at CU Boulder with classes on Monday and Wednesday from 3:30-6:30 and Tuesday/Thursday from 12:00-2 and 3:20-5:00!

If you dog is more lowkey I also have my family’s house near north Boulder park with a fenced backyard yard that would be a perfect oasis!
“Karla and family were such great hosts and very welcoming to both Gus and I. Karla was great about providing pictures and updates daily and took Gus on some great adventures and I could see he was getting plenty of attention. I would recommend booking with Karla and family if you want to feel at ease while out of town!”

About: I recently lost my cavalier king charles spaniel and am looking to have some doggies around again. I grew up with many pets in our family! Dogs, bunnies, birds, guinea pigs, and reptiles. I am a dog lover through and through and frequently watch friends and family’s dogs. I do have experience caring for senior dogs! I prefer smaller pups but will accept medium too. I currently work from home so I’m available to take care of your pup around the clock. I do many walks and would love the company of a doggo! I have a completely fenced in yard and a very safe and walkable neighborhood. I have a toddler at home so they must be kid friendly.
“Christine took great care of our high energy dog! She was communicative, reliable, and even sent pictures of our pup during his stay! They went on long walks and my dog seemed very happy. I would certainly trust Christine to watch my dog again in the future.”
“Charissa was a wonderful home-away-from-home for Harper. She sent me updates and pictures throughout each day which was so appreciated, I had total peace of mind and knew that Harper was getting excellent care. Thank you Charissa!”
“Sebastian was great! Very responsive and helpful taking care of my 3 year old energetic lab at the last minute due to a different sitter’s cancellation. Did not receive any pictures during the stay, but I can tell Eleanor had a great time and I would be very happy to have Sebastian watch her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
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!
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!
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!! 💜💜💙💙

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet 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.

There are 5,232 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Boulder. About 90% of Boulder sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
