“Renata took great care of Scout and Radley! They clearly enjoyed their stay, and it was obvious they were in the hands of a true dog person. She did an excellent job with their food mix and Scout's medications. We appreciated the great care and would happily book with her again.”
“My dog Rosa LOVES her time with Sherry, Jay, and Madison. Whenever we start pulling down their street she knows she’s going to play with her friends and can’t wait to jump out of the car. It’s reassuring to me at the care and love they provide when I drop Rosa off. They are great at communicating, are flexible when needed, and send lots of great pictures and videos! Anytime I’m in the area I go to Sherry and Jay to watch Rosa!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all ages and personalities—from gentle senior cats to rowdy, playful pups. My background in a pet store taught me animal behavior, nutrition, and how to make every pet feel safe and happy. I’m skilled at giving medications, handling high-energy pets, and offering extra TLC to seniors. With me, your furry friend will get expert care, plenty of love, and endless tail wags! Pet care is part of my everyday life—I share my home with three of my own furry companions, so love, playtime, and feeding schedules are already built into my routine. I’m used to early morning walks, regular grooming, cuddle breaks, and keeping a close eye on health and behavior. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s simply part of who I am.🐾💕 I make safety my first priority, keeping pets happy and secure. I care for each pet as if they are my own. All animals deserve kindness, respect, and purrr-sonalized care.😌
“Melissa was wonderful caring for our puppy Ollie. Ollie settled in quickly at Melissa’s house and loved being with her! Melissa sent us pictures of Ollie and kept us informed of how Ollie was doing. You can tell that Melissa loves dogs and Ollie adored her too. We felt comfortable leaving Ollie with Melissa while we were on a trip. Would highly recommend Melissa! Thank you Melissa!!!”
“My Dog Sadie was very happy& relaxed when we picked her up! I think she liked it here. I got daily pictures & updates which made ME feel better ❤️ I would use Oksana again!”
“Rikki was great. We needed a sitter on a short notice and she was very accommodating. Communication was great. Rikki sent daily updates with photos and videos of our dog. Our dog loved her. Thanks Rikki!”
“Jessica was so kind and wonderful! She responded very quickly when I had questions or wanted updates on our boys while we were away. They both seemed happy when we picked them up and energetic. Would definitely book with her again.”
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid and I couldn’t imagine life without them! I have helped family members, friends and neighbors care for their dogs over the years. I enjoy walking and playing with our dog and will include your sweet baby in our family walks and play! My backyard is safe and secure and has plenty of room for dogs to play and run! I have a doggie door and have found that dogs figure out how to use it with ease, if they don’t have one at their home. My grandchildren are here periodically and are also dog lovers! I’m currently working part time, 3 days per week, 4 hours per day. My dog and I walk about 3 miles, most days. The rest of the day is spent with her following me around and helping me with my chores, even help me go potty!!! I have a fully fenced yard with room to play. I currently have 1 dog, she’s a silver lab and is about 9 years old. She’s a good girl, most of the time! My dog gets dog treats on our walks and throughout the day. She currently eats twice per day, 6 am and 5:30 pm. We are able to adjust schedules for your dog, if necessary.
“This was my first time using this service. It was a last minute need and Tami was very accommodating and kind. I could not have asked for a better person, home or experience for my little Bella. Tami went above and beyond. Got lots of updates, photos ect. Her home is a good fit, her 2 little fur babies are great. Again a person could not want or expect more.”
“Brooke was very flexible with her schedule when I had to adjust my trip. She met me at the house, introduced herself and animals. She was very responsive to all my questions and replied to my txt quickly. She does not have a fenced yard, but took Eyota for walks so he could get his exercise. I received pictures and Eyota had a great time while there meeting new pup friends. Highly recommend.”
“Left my dog feeling stressed because this was his first overnight away from home! He truly could not have been in better hands! I received pictures during his stay and this was so comforting. Thank you, Lynne!”
About: Not only have I had many fur babies over the years, I have a very special place in my heart for them. Throughout the years, I have also cared for other people's fur babies. I currently work full time with set hours. I can easily accommodate to morning and evenings schedules, including weekends. There isn't much in a schedule I couldn't accommodate. I have a privacy fencedbyard with lots of room to run. It is a very safe area to have dogs in and close proximity to the library for walking.
About: Our family had dogs since I was a young boy; I've had many since then. I've also trained them. We also had fish, hamsters, birds, reptiles and lizards as pets. Some 15 years ago, one of my dogs went blind... I cared for him for 10 yrs after that until he passed away. He never left my side. A few years ago, I got another dog but she died of cancer last year. At the moment, I don't have a dog (she died) but I have 5 cats. I do rather well with both and my cats are quite used to dogs. I used to live on a ranch where we raised Arabians; I was responsible for feeding & caring as many as 18 horses. When I was younger, I rode often and played polo. My father passed 10 yrs ago and his wife sold our ranch. I am available to feed horses provided that I'm paid the time it takes to travel back and forth. I am available for cat/dog sitting & feeding. If you need dog boarding, please let me know if you pet gets along with cats. I work from home, so I am a home quite a bit. I also have a flexible schedule, and this can be accomodated to work around certain issues or conflicts. Please contact me with any questions, concerns, or comments. I have a large (unfenced) yard, but I am willing to take your pet on walks in my neighborhood, as needed. I live one block away from a park. I am home quite often, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am available for drop-ins, visits, or even overnights.
About: I've worked with dogs as a Vet assistant for the last 7 years. I have always loved working with animals! I am a trusted dog sitter for close family and friends. I enjoy doing daily activities with the dogs I care for, loving on them, then sending them home refreshed with a nice bath so they are clean for pickup. I am available 7 days a week to care for pups of all ages and sizes. I am home most days all day, so I am able to provide complete supervision and activities for your pet. I am good with pets and making them feel comfortable and loved. I have a fenced in yard with a separate fenced yard just for pets. I have two friendly dogs that will keep your pet company with their stay, but will be kept separate and will not interact with your pups one on one.
About: I grew up on a 44-acre farm, gaining hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to chickens and pigs. I know how to provide responsible, attentive care. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to my two fur babies: Mondo, my cat, and Bella, my senior pit mix. They are both incredibly loving, and we are always happy to have friends over for supervised playdates! I am focused on earning some extra money while doing what I love most: taking care of fur babies in my free time. I recently moved into my mom's place, which is conveniently located near the reservoir. It is a beautiful, spacious area that is perfect for outdoor adventures and exercise! I will care for your pet as if they were my own, with your pet's safety and comfort as my top priorities. If your pet has any special requirements—such as medication, specific dietary needs, or routine requests—please let me know when booking so I can provide the best care possible
About: During college I volunteered at animal shelter, realizing how much I adored dogs and cats! I learned how to support senior dogs, puppies, administer meds, and help dogs with trauma. I ended up adopting my soul dog from there and she was with us for 10 plus years. She was on meds for the last 2 years of her life! We recently lost our German Shepard after 11 years, so our house is happy to support your babies. I am a stay at home mom, so I have the ability to love your pet all day! I run, so can take your pet for jogs. We have a great dog run backyard area, with a doggy door so your pet has access to potty too! I’ve watched dogs for friends for years, and our dog Thor would love some company! I am a stay at home mom, to our toddler, and my husband works from home! We have all day to help support your pups needs, and we don’t leave the house too often. We walk moose, our dog, 2-3 times a day, and he has access to go outside whenever he’d like. We have a fenced dog run, back yard, a doggy door, and minimal stairs. We have plenty of space up and downstairs if the dog wants a break or likes to decompress! We both work from home, and when we leave our dog, we want them to be loved and safe so we want to provide that environment for you.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cañon City
When we went to the meet and great I wasn’t sure if the doggies would get along. We all hung in there though and the four dogs worked it out. When we went to drop our two dogs off we allowed time for the doggies to get reacquainted. My understanding is there were no problems while we were away. I would certainly ask Renata to take care of my two dogs again.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Cañon City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cañon City on Rover is $38.85 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 Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 51 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cañon City. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cañon City home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cañon City.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Cañon City sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
