“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.”
“Xiqing and Hector took really good care of Simba and his needs. They kept us updated and also sent lots of Simba's pictures and videos. I got a very happy pup back...I really appreciate their love and care that they gave to Simba 💕 I would really recommend them for your fur baby!”
“Rachel is not only an extraordinary pet sitter, but she is an extraordinary person. Kind and delightful. She was wonderful with Buddha Bear and sent us lots of "Pupdates" of their walks, feeding, and hanging out in the yard. I know Bear had a great time. It was a bit challenging for us because we moved to the area less than two weeks ago, so we know our dog may be a little anxious at the moment with the move and everything that comes with it. Rachael was so patient with him, and he stayed with her while she was working. I couldn't speak more highly of her. I know Buddha Bear really loved her.”
“Natalie was awesome! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog ate his food and was comfortable during his stay. Natalie was very communicative and sent multiple amazing pictures everyday! Natalie is super flexible with pick up and drop off times. We can’t wait to have Natalie Rover for us again!”
About: Hello! I'm an active young professional who works from home and loves to get outside! I do lots of walks and try to keep to the same routine as your dog is used to. I have a sweet, quiet, friendly mid-size dog who gets along with just about anyone other than un-neutered male dogs. I've had Ace for almost 5 years and previously had a Corgi mix for almost 14 years. I often help friends by watching their pups, and have done quite a bit of dog sitting for various people I've met in the Boulder area and would be happy to provide direct references. Working from home allows me a very flexible schedule, and I can adjust to whatever schedule your pet is used to in order to help them stay comfortable. I never leave my dog home alone with another dog if we are staying at someone else's home. If I need to leave, I bring my dog with me, just for safety purposes.
“She is great, and my kitty had a whole room to himself! She spoiled him, and worked hard to keep him happy and healthy. Will definitely trust her anytime with my little dude.”
“Ryan and Lorien were wonderful with our Charlie dog. Their sweet dog even shared their toy with him. Charlie was given lots of love and attention. We felt at ease having him there while on our vacation. Would definitely book with them again. Thanks!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and recently shared 16 wonderful years with my own beloved pup. I deeply love dogs and love being outside, making dog walking a natural, joyful fit for me. I'm excited to give your dog the same dedicated love, care, and exercise I’ve always given my own. I recently retired from the corporate world and am making pet care the primary focus of my daily schedule. I'm dedicated to weekday dog walking between 9:00 AM and 2:30 PM. Because my schedule is highly flexible, I'm also available for overnight boarding any day of the week, allowing me to provide consistent, round-the-clock care whenever you need it. Your dog will get plenty of undivided attention here since we don’t have any other pets of our own! My two elementary school-aged daughters absolutely love animals and are great with them. Our home has a secure, fenced-in yard that's perfect for playing safely, and we have direct access to miles of awesome walking paths right outside our neighborhood. Whether your pup is coming over for boarding or out for a walk, they’ll get tons of fresh air, fun exercise, and a super warm welcome.
“Kelly took great care of our dog and stayed in close contact as the Marshall Fire started while we were out of town. It helped put our mind at ease that our dog was safe.”
“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:)”
“Lynn & John made Zoey feel right at home. They were great at keeping me updated with photos. They were very responsive and flexible with drop off and pick up times. I definitely recommend them to take care of your pup!”
About: As a pet sitter, I distinguish myself through my personalized approach. I customize my care plans to meet each pet’s unique needs and personality, ensuring a tailored and attentive experience. This individualized attention not only sets me apart but also fosters a strong bond with the pets I care for. My duties involved daily walks, feeding, and playtime for the animals. I made sure each furry friend felt comfortable and loved while their owners were away, providing updates to ease their minds. I find that caring for pets in their own homes provides them with a sense of familiarity and comfort. This allows me to maintain their routines seamlessly, ensuring they feel secure and happy in their familiar surroundings. Additionally, it minimizes any potential stress that might arise in a new setting, contributing to a positive and enjoyable experience for both the pets and their owners.
“We just moved to the area a month ago, which means having to start from scratch in finding care for our dog Cali. We were so lucky to have found Ashanti, she was incredible. From the get go she was flexible on drop off and pick up times, along with very communicative. She made our Cali feel right at home and sent updates every day on Cali as well. We so appreciated her care and flexibility, she was very dependable and trustworthy. We highly recommend her to care for your little fur babies! 🥰”
“He was a perfect dog sitter ever!!! He had my two dogs for 5 days and both of my dogs had a great time with him. He is a very nice, kind easy going person. I was completely comfortable leaving my dogs at his house, even this was my first time. And importantly, the price was GREAT too. I am sooooo happy to find him!!”
“Rochelle and her pups took excellent care of my boy! Loved having plenty of photos and updates over the weekend. Harvey clearly had a wonderful time and can’t wait to go back! Would recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
Emilie and her husband were very kind and cared for my dog amazingly well! I booked her last minute and she gladly took on Willow. Her home was clean, she communicated well, and my dog seemed very happy as soon as we walked in and upon pickup as well. I would definitely recommend Emilie to watch your pets!
Jonas was very communicative and persistent. Juni was playing hard to get and hiding from Jonas on his first visit. It was her first time having a complete stranger come to the house to walk her and she is a bit leery of strangers. I very much appreciated Jonas working through that challenge so we can leave her again in the future!!
Jessica (and her dog Sophie) were a perfect match for our dog Maple! This was our first time using rover and ever boarding any of our dogs and Jessica made us feel at ease. Our dog was exhausted afterwards from so much playing (Maple almost seemed a little depressed when we got home because she wasn’t with her new friend Sophie).
Madeline was AMAZING with our dogs! We recently adopted a second dog and at the last minute Madeline was so accommodating and added her to our booking. She took notes during our meet and greet which was so professional. She updated us twice a day very consistently with lots of pictures and how the dogs were doing. Our dogs looked so happy that I don’t think they even missed us! We loved Madeline so much and are most definitely going to book with her again :)
Nicole was amazing with our 2 dogs- ages 5 and 10. The older one even developed an upset stomach while she was there and Nicole took amazing care of her and kept us in the loop. She was a great communicator and very proactive. I would leave my dogs with her anytime!
Della was absolutely wonderful! This was the first time in about two years that my husband and I had both been away from our two dogs at the same time, so finding someone we felt comfortable with was really important to us. She did an amazing job caring for both our high-energy 3.5-year-old Lab and our older pup, who has a more complicated routine with lots of medications and special needs. Della was incredibly attentive, kept us updated, and sent just the right amount of photos so we could enjoy our trip knowing our boys were in great hands. She truly gave us so much peace of mind, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely trust her with our boys again and highly recommend her!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 5,247 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Boulder. About 89% 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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
