“This was the first time our 2 dogs have been away from us. Karla and family took wonderful care of them. Walking them and sending us cute pictures that eased our minds. Thank you so much! See you next time Skyler and Hops”
“My pup came home happy, healthy and well taken care of! I’m so grateful for the text and photo updates. It made me feel very connected even though I was away for the weekend. It seemed like Margie’s family adored my little fluff and it’s comforting to know he was loved and cherished.”
About: I’ve had a lifelong love for animals and a natural connection with both dogs and cats and bring over 8 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior pets who need patience and comfort, I know how to adapt to each animal’s unique needs. At home, I share life with my goofy golden retriever and a sassy tuxedo cat, who both love other animals. My approach is calm, reliable, and intuitive, I take the time to make every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. I can help with training, daily walks, or providing company while you’re away, and I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated every step of the way. I work from home so have flexibility in my daily routine. Most afternoons and evenings in particular work well for me for any type of care. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I focus on creating an environment that matches each animal’s personality and comfort level. I have plenty of engaging ways to channel energy for playful or high energy pets, through walks, games, training reinforcement, or enrichment toys while also providing patience and affection for mellow or cuddly companions who prefer a slower pace. I will treat your pets and your home with the same respect I would give mine!
“Tigran took great care of Bruce! I got lots of videos of Bruce living his best life with Tigran's dogs. They ran and played in lots of bodies of water. Tigran was really flexible with drop off and pickup times. He even picked Bruce up on his way to hike with the dogs. We appreciate that on a busy travel day! Thank you Tigran.”
“Olivia was amazing! I’ve had a lot of rover sitters and Olivia might be my favorite. My dog Elle had just had stitches and I was afraid to leave her with anyone but Olivia not only took care of her like she was her own dog but also made sure all the meds and steps I asked were taken perfectly! My dog had the best time and I was able to turn off my worries for a few hours!”
About: Hey there! I’m new to Rover and can’t wait to take care of your pup. I’ve been an avid pet-lover and sitter my whole life - Big or small, your pets will be welcomed and adored in my care. I have an extra special place in my heart for big dogs, rescues, and misunderstood breeds and have hands on experience with all kinds of breeds, from chihuahuas to mutts to mastiffs. Can’t wait to meet your pup and give them lots of love. 💛 My job is local and hybrid so my schedule is extremely flexible which gives me and your pup plenty of time to play and go for lots of long walks. While I don’t have a backyard, my apartment is dog-proofed and located near numerous parks, bike paths and walking trails perfect for getting outside for walks and potty breaks.
About: Hi! I’m Simone, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 16 years, from high-energy puppies to senior dogs with special needs. I treat every animal like family—whether it’s cuddling on the couch, going for long walks, or managing medications and mealtime routines. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I genuinely enjoy being around animals and make caring for them a priority in my schedule. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon check-ins, or evening playtime, I organize my day around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I work from home / have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve throughout the day. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routine completely. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding and medication to walk times and favorite toys. I make sure pets are comfortable, calm, and well cared for, and I do my best to keep their routine consistent to reduce stress. I also keep the home clean, secure, and tidy, and I send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind 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.”
“Sophia was great!! Helped us out by taking care of our pup jojo on our wedding night. We knew he was in great hands and could let loose without any stress. Will definitely book with her again. Her dog Ziggy is a sweetheart and got along with ours great :)”
“Emily and Hector did a wonderful job with Coco. From the meet and greet to pickup, they provided excellent service that gave me peace of mind about leaving Coco in their care. I received daily updates with plenty of photos and videos, which reassured me that Coco was happy and well cared for, just as I would have wanted. I’ll definitely be booking with them again.”
“Our dog had the best time staying with Meghan and Hakon! They made our time away from our pup easy with updates, photos, and genuine care for our dog. We felt confident she was in good hands!”
“Jessica and Sophie were wonderful watching our pup! We were sent many pictures and our dog had a great time playing with Sophie. He was well cared for and is now exhausted. Highly recommend!”
“Rui did a great job of taking care of my pup! The meet and greet was enough time for my dog, Also to fall in love so much that when I dropped her off, she practically pulled Rui inside with nary a glance back at me. I received lots of great pictures of fun adventures and when I picked her up she was tired but very happy. I can’t recommend Rui highly enough!”

Currently applying for jobs so I will be staying at home. Therefore I will have a lot of time to take care of your pets! My house has a fenced in yard that will be quick access for your pet to go outside. I can regularly walk your dog and follow any schedule as my own schedule is very flexible.
“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 🥰”
“Allison was so good with Rufus, our border collie puppy! We watched him playing with the other dogs and napping inside during breaks. Allison kept us updated in all of his activities with regular photos and videos.”
“Calista was a great dog sitter! Took my dog on walks, sent a lot of update photos and was easy to communicate with! Will definitely be booking with her in the future, thanks again!”
“Celia and Mark were excellent hosts for our dog. They made her feel right at home and she came back as happy as ever. They have an amazing yard for the dog to spend time outside and made sure she was comfortable sleeping at night. I highly recommend this family!”

Olivia was amazing! I’ve had a lot of rover sitters and Olivia might be my favorite. My dog Elle had just had stitches and I was afraid to leave her with anyone but Olivia not only took care of her like she was her own dog but also made sure all the meds and steps I asked were taken perfectly! My dog had the best time and I was able to turn off my worries for a few hours!
Marlow took care of my dog for 8 days at her home, and the entire experience was amazing from start to finish. One of the things I appreciated most was the daily updates. She sent photos and messages every single day, which meant so much to me because I missed my dog and loved knowing how he was doing. She kept me informed about his activities and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog absolutely loved her large, beautiful backyard. We visited before his stay, and he was already having the best time exploring it. She also took him to the creek, which he loved! It was clear that she spent a lot of quality time with him, giving him plenty of exercise, attention, and cuddles. Her roommate was also incredibly kind and clearly cared about my dog, which made me feel even more comfortable leaving him in their care. She has a lot of experience handling large dogs with leash reactivity. My dog is a 98-pound Pitbull/Lab mix, and she knew exactly how to work with him and manage his needs confidently and safely. Her experience really showed throughout his stay. I am so grateful for the care, communication, and love she gave my dog. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, experienced, and caring dog sitter!
Tigran did an incredible job watching our dogs for two days! His communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, keeping us perfectly updated and at ease. He has a great natural instinct with dogs, and it showed. Our pups came home incredibly relaxed and calm. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would highly recommend Tigran to anyone looking for a fantastic, trustworthy pet sitter.
Maddy is an excellent dog sitter. She provided detailed updates with thoughtful photos every day, and was very responsive in her communication. You can tell that she truly cares about animals and their wellbeing. Our dog had a great time staying with her, and we were so relieved that our dog was in safe hands. We highly recommend Maddy for pet care!
Margaret was phenomenal with our 7 month old puppy Pickles! This was our first time having Pickles stay with someone else while we were away and we are so grateful for Margaret taking such good care of her and being so flexible when our flight got delayed coming home. Thank you so much! Highly recommend!
Sean and Kim are wonderfully warm towards dogs, and we felt very comfortable leaving our precious dog with them. It is the best “home away from home” we could hope for. Cora was well exercised and quite content with her stay, and “forgave us” the sin of leaving her behind when we traveled much easier than usual. Will book again, big thanks to both of you!
Kaitlyn was an amazing help! She went above and beyond to ask questions and scheduled a little meet and greet with Margo ahead of her stay. She also was very communicative and responsive with updates and jumped quickly to scoop up additional needed items (forgotten by us in our hurry to leave for a trip!) Very thankful for her care and assistance.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Boulder on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 5,258 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.
