About: I grew up with dogs and have loved them my entire life. During the school year at college, I miss having one around more than almost anything, so summers back home in California are my chance to be around dogs as much as possible. I work as a walker and sitter for a local dog walking company, bringing genuine experience and a lot of enthusiasm to every walk and stay. I am currently a student at CU Boulder but typically only have morning classes. I have full availability on the weekends and on Tuesdays and Thursday’s I’m fully available after 9:15 am! Monday and wensday I’m available after 11! I always prioritize safety by creating a calm and secure environment for pets. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, ensure fresh water, safe playtime, clean spaces, and lots of attention. I treat every pet as if they were my own, building trust through consistency, patience, and care.
“We had a great experience with Alex. He is very kind and is a dog lover. He was great with communication and drop off pickup and being flexible with our times. He let us enjoy our trip but sent a few messages and took amazing photos of our dog Chip. He was thoughtful and gave us some prints and a magnet of his photography of our cutie pup Chip. We will definitely be using Alex again. Thank you!”
“Sheila was amazing. I think my dog has more fun with Sheila than with me. I got a lot of updates and was able to enjoy my trip l knowing my dog was so well cared for.”
About: Hi, I'm Andi! I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember, and for 13 years I had my own dog by my side. I raised him on my own through all kinds of homes and lifestyle changes, from apartments to houses, with big yards and with no yard at all so I know that every dog (and owner!) has their own routine, personality, and needs. Over the years, I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ dogs, both in their homes and in mine. I genuinely love having a dog around the house, and enjoy the company, the personality, the walks, and even the little quirks that make them who they are. After losing my own dog, I’m not quite ready to make the commitment to bringing another dog into my life permanently. But I’ve realized I’d love to fill that space by welcoming other people’s dogs into my home and giving them the same kind of care and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your usual routines, whether that means lots of walks and playtime, a cozy spot on the couch, medication or special instructions, or simply plenty of companionship. I know leaving your dog with someone else can be stressful, so I want you to feel confident that they’re in good hands and that they’ll get plenty of love while you’re away! work from home four days a week, so I’m home with plenty of flexibility throughout the day. On the days I go into the office, I’m typically gone for about four hours or less, so I’m home more often than not. I’m an early riser and am very used to starting the day with a dog’s morning walk. I also have easy access to grass for quick potty breaks throughout the day, in addition to regular walks and playtime. Even on weekends, when I might go for a run, hike, or bike ride, I’m generally home for most of the day working on projects or relaxing. Overall, my schedule gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give dogs attention, exercise, companionship, and plenty of opportunities to get outside. I take pet safety and comfort seriously and want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, energy level, and any special instructions from their owner. My home is clean, comfortable, and dog-friendly, with easy access to grass for potty breaks and plenty of opportunities for walks, exercise, and companionship. I’m home most of the time, so dogs aren’t typically left alone for long stretches. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medications, and house rules. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your dog is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“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.”
“Our dog had a wonderful time at Aubrey’s house. He had lots of furry friends to play with, spent time exploring outside and received many cuddles and love. Aubrey was wonderful at sending daily updates and pictures. Our pup came back exhausted from all the fun he had. Can’t wait to use Aubrey again next time we are away!”
“My older dog Santo did well with Jacqueline's gentle care. She understood his limitations, especially regarding heat. He had plenty of toys, and was able to play with her well behaved dogs. Jacqueline runs a tight ship, which I appreciate.”
“Jessica was great with our dog Piper! Her dog got along great with her too. We got the perfect amount of cute picture updates, and I know Piper will be excited to stay with her again in the future!”
“Crystal is SO great! Very flexible with last minute trips, very communicative, and very trustworthy. My dog is nervous around new people and Crystal is able to calm her down and have her warm up to her. Would highly recommend and look forward to having Crystal watch Molly again. ”
“Nicole was excellent. I do not board my dog very often and must admit that I was a bit nervous in general. But....Nicole was so good at creating a sense of security and ease. She gets it and I think has a real gift with animals and people alike. Really, really amazing service....Really.”
“Margaret was very responsive and willing to take us on short notice after another booking option fell through. Bodi had so much fun with the kids and other dogs and Margaret did a great job keeping us updated with adorable pictures and letting us know how his stay was going. Would absolutely leave Bodi with her again!”
About: My family has owned all kinds of animals throughout my life. We’ve had geckos, dogs, cats, fish, and more. My exposure to this wide array of animals makes me the perfect pet sitter for whatever your family needs. I am comfortable with overnight stays, feeding, bathing, drop in visits, and more. Anything your pet needs, I’m happy to provide! I am currently a student at CU Boulder missing my puppies back at home more than anything. I have a pretty light class schedule this semester and would love nothing more than to spend my extra time with your animals! I am located walking distance from Chautauqua park and go there almost daily. I’d love the company of your pups and have sooo much love waiting for them. I have a fenced side yard and love walking distance from many walking trails. If your pets were staying with me, I’d take them on walks daily and be home with them majority of the day to let them out when needed. I also have a large car, so vehicle transportation to/from your home is available. If staying at a clients home, I would make time for whatever is necessary for your pet. I am flexible to your needs and highly adaptable to what works best for you and your pets!
“Kimberly took amazing care of my dog, Champ, while I was away! She communicated with me, sent lots of pictures, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such loving hands. Champ came home happy and completely worn out from all the playing and love he received. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Kristina was VERY responsive and great with our big old Riley boy. He came home happy and sleepy, like a dog post-vacation should be! We also got a ton of pictures over the weekend of Riley living his best life. Thanks for helping us out, Kristina!”
“The most caring, attentive, communicative and easy going sitter I've ever had. She sent photos, status updates and when Zaya wouldn't eat (because she was so nervous to be away from home), she asked about ways to entice her to eat and successfully got her to gobble up her meals. And when my plans changed last minute, she was able to accommodate us for an extra night without any issues. Very grateful to have found a dedicated sitter I can trust so much 🥰”
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.

This was Nicole's first visit from our dog, Maverick. We couldn't be more grateful for Nicole's great care, her updates, and all she did to assure that we could be out of town during a holiday weekend. Nicole is such a terrific caregiver for anyone with a K-9 family member. Thank you, Nicole!
Meera was so great with Luna!! I appreciated that she gave us daily updates with lots of pictures and videos. She also let us know how she was doing and if she was eating all of her food. It looks like Luna and their dog Zuko had a blast together! Zuko was extremely sweet and respectful and such a perfect playmate for Luna. We most definitely want to have Meera watch Luna again!
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!! 💜💜💙💙
Rui was hands down one of the best Rover sitters we’ve ever had. We needed a sitter for our wedding weekend in Lyons, and since our venue only allowed dogs during the ceremony, the logistics were tricky. Rui made everything completely stress-free. She dropped our dogs off right on time for the ceremony, waited patiently during the service, and safely drove them back to Boulder for the night. She went above and beyond with every single detail and over-communicated throughout the entire weekend. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our wedding weekend. 10/10.
Sophia was a great sitter for my 1-year-old puppy Maple for 10 days! Her dog and cat are friendly and adorable and Maple liked having four-legged friends to play with. Sophia sent pictures of Maple out at parks and playing and relaxing with her furry buddies almost every day. She was flexible and understanding when our return flight was delayed and we had to pick Maple up after 11pm. Maple came home tired and happy and clean and clearly well cared for.
Dana and her family were absolutely wonderful! They were able to take Bear and Molly at the very last minute for the weekend, and I couldn’t be more grateful. They welcomed them into their home and treated them like part of the family, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. The kids were so amazing with them as well! Both dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly very well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone you can trust with your pets, especially on short notice. I would absolutely recommend Dana and her family and would not hesitate to have Bear and Molly stay with them again. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!

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.

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.
