“Tess was absolutely fantastic. She thought of important questions and must have really taken her time getting to know our kitty, she is usually so shy but the photos made it clear she was comfortable with Tess.”
“Falecia did a great job with my senior cat - giving her medicine, keeping her box clean, and most importantly, giving her some love. She's responsive and easy to work with. I will definitely have Falecia care for Delilah again.”
“Carli was so amazing with my dogs! I needed someone the day of and she kept me updated and sent pics. I would definitely want her to take care of my dogs again!”
“Lali was incredible and we would recommend her sitting services to anyone!! On a daily basis, she sent my wife and I photo updates of our two dogs as well as short reports on what they did and how they spent their time together. We would leave six stars out of five if we could!!!”
“Eva was excellent! I came back home to a happy kitty - she took good care of him and followed all the instructions we left. She sent updates and pictures at each visit which we looked forward to. Thank you Eva!!”
About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to get to know each pet and provide personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, energetic playtime, or quiet companionship, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable and attentive care. I make time for timely check-ins, walks, play sessions, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. I prioritize consistency so pets can stick to their normal routine, helping them feel comfortable and reducing stress while their family is away. I also provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and daily routines. I pay close attention during walks, use secure leashes and harnesses, and make sure pets are always in a safe environment. In your home, I respect your space and keep everything clean and organized. I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliable communication, patience, and compassionate care. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
“Jana is the absolute best! She took such good care of our cat. We appreciate how happy she kept him over the holidays - we could tell he felt safe and comfortable with her and that put us at ease leaving him for the first time ever. She sent wonderful photos every day that made our entire day whenever we got them. We are so grateful to Jana! ☺️”
“Campbell is reliable and very kind. She’s been helpful on every visit and communicates better than other seasoned Rovers. She’s my first choice always for care for our cat.”
About: I’ve been around dogs from as early as I can remember, always going for walks or hikes with my own dogs or others’! I have experience taking care of senior dogs, dogs with health issues, and younger, more rambunctious dogs. I have experience taking care of and making homesick dogs feel more comfortable and safe when their family is gone. I’m always willing to welcome any and all dogs into my home and do my best to provide a home away from home, giving them all the love I can until their family comes home! I’m currently in school, however I’m only gone for three hours at a time, and am home for the night by 4 everyday giving me plenty of time to hang out and love on your pup, so they will never feel abandoned when you’re gone! I have a big, fenced in yard with plenty of room for your pup to roam, as well as plenty of room for them to wander around the house with it also being pet safe! I keep my house pretty clean so there’s not anything that your pup could easily get into helping make you feel comfortable and give you ease-of-mind allowing you to enjoy yourself on vacation or stay focused on whatever you’re doing while away!
“Leah is amazing! She really helped me out in a pinch when my friend cancelled on dog sitting last minute. She is very responsive, trustworthy, and both my dogs absolutely adore her. Highly recommend and would book again.”
“Holly always goes above and beyond for our cats- she opens and closes window shades so they can enjoy the view, turns on their toys, cleans their feeders, etc. We trust her completely and the cats adore her!”
“My wife and I needed to book an extra day outside our original scheduled times and Jennifer did not hesitate at all to help us out with an additional day. She is extremely friendly and will definitely be reaching back out to her in the future. Thank You, Jennifer!!”
“Jordan does a great job with our pups! She’s taken her time to get to know them both, and even our grumpy boy, who’s sometimes grumbly with strangers, took right to her. Thanks Jordan!”
“Anthony took great care of our kitties while we were away! He was super communicative and sent daily updates which we really appreciated. Overall, we had a great experience with Anthony and will definitely rebook with him in the future!”
“Connie is so great with our dogs! She is so patient with our little brood of pups and understands how to work with each one individually based on their personality and needs. I highly recommend her!”
“Axel was perfect for Simon, my rabbit! She gave him great attention and care. We could tell upon our return home that Simon was well taken care of and loved - it was like we never left.”
“Emily was so easy-going and communicative. It’s really nice to receive all the updates so we know everything’s going as planned. She was really sweet with our big dog Otis”
“Donovan was AMAZING!! If you have the ability to book him, do it! We have a very anxious pup who takes some time getting used to new people. Truckee warmed up to Donovan within 5 minutes, which is a record for us! On top of it Donovan is kind, respectful, and responsive. We will definitely be booking again when we need another sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
Sophia was great to work with. It was clear from our first visit how much she enjoys caring for animals. She was professional, responded quickly to any questions, and thorough in her communication. I felt like she genuinely had fun being with our dogs. I look forward to working with her again.
J'Ana is a wonderful dog sitter for my dog. She takes her cues from what he prefers to do. She's also very dependable and is really good at responding quickly to my requests, which not all Rover folks do. We hope to have her come for visits for a long long time.
Tess was wonderful with our kitties! One of our cats can be skittish but she warmed right up to Tess and both were happy and relaxed. Tess played with them a lot and petted them and really engaged them. Tess sent fantastic photos and kept us updated throughout our trip. She is very responsive and organized and conscientious.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Boulder on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,381 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Boulder. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Boulder stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Boulder. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
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 sitter.
