“Charlotte had my 1.5 yr old Porty for 4 nights. Went for multiple walks per day , sent pics of him having fun, and communicated thru out. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your pup, I highly recommend Charlotte., one of the sweetest and nicest humans I’ve ever met.”

“We’ve had wonderful experiences boarding our dog with Katie and Ryan. They are communicative, kind and willing to accommodate our dog’s medication schedule. We received regular updates and photos, and it’s clear our dog was happy and well-cared for in their care. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a 8 year old chocolate lab that loves all other dogs. I’ve spent a lot of time with all different breeds, just looking to expand who I am sitting for. Im a crew lead for the USFS here in the valley so my schedule changes from time to time. Can provide care after 5:30pm when working Your pet would be more than safe with me. I can provide socializing with my pup, lots of exercise, and whatever else is needed for them to be happy and comfortable!
“Lu is amazing. He really cares about making sure your dog will be happy in his care and for that reason he met with me and my sweet Ruby multiple times prior to booking to ensure it would be a good fit. Ruby can be a little anxious when our family is not around. Lu saw that and took extra special care of her. He even let her sleep with him despite her snoring :) Lu cared for Ruby for one week and shared photos and sweet stories everyday. I felt totally comfortable and relieved knowing that Ruby was getting longs walks and trips to the park each day. I will definitely ask Lu to take care of Ruby again.”
About: Hi! My name is Hannah and I’m looking to get back into dog sitting/walking on the weekends. I grew up with dogs my entire life and have always loved animals. I have dog sat for neighbors and friends for years. I currently have a 7 year old Pyrenees/lab mix and he lives the best dog life. I’m strictly a weekend doggie caretaker as I work full time during the week. If you need a dog sitter while away for the weekend, I can help! I’m very patient and attentive to the dogs I will take care of. They will be in great care at my apartment and there’s plenty of (unfenced) property I live in but happy to bring them outside with a leash too. I am happy to watch your dog in your home as well!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for years, starting back in my teens, and I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of animals including dogs and cats. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, including those who need extra attention like medication administration (including insulin) and more structured care routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, training support for young dogs, or gentle care for older pets, I adjust to each animal’s needs. I’m also happy to take care of small extras like watering plants or keeping an eye on your home while you’re away, so you can come back to everything in good shape. I work a full-time job, but I’m able to come home during my lunch break to check in on my own puppy and provide mid-day care. This keeps me consistently involved in daily pet care even during the workweek. At this time, I am only offering weekend availability for boarding, so I’m fully available to focus on providing attentive, structured care during those stays. I make sure pets are comfortable, on their normal routines, and well cared for while they’re with me. When boarding a dog in my home, I do my best to accommodate their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible, like they’re at home. I have a fenced-in yard, and my own puppy enjoys plenty of outdoor playtime, so dogs who are active will get lots of safe exercise and enrichment. If a dog is more of a relaxed, homebody type, I’m just as happy to keep things calm with indoor time, rest, and companionship. I adjust to each dog’s personality and energy level. For any care—whether boarding, drop-ins, or walks—I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs or medications, to make sure each pet is cared for consistently and safely.
“Nevada went above and beyond to great care of Nigel. She took him out for all of his favorite activities and made him feel right at home. Pretty sure Nigel wanted to stay! She was also incredibly accommodating to our schedule, even driving Nigel two hrs to be at our wedding ceremony. We hope to be back! Definitely recommend.”
“As soon as we met Teresa we realized our dog Oreo is in a great hands. She is happy, caring person , very energetic! She invited us inside the house and everything looked super clean which I love! When we left she sent us Oreo ‘s pictures. She even made a special bed for her. And when we came to pick up Oreo. She was excited, happy and playful , so I could guess she really enjoyed to stay at Teresa’s place! Thank you We will recommend you and use your services again when we are back to Colorado ???”
“Willow had a great weekend with Megan! She came home happy and tired. Megan was great at communication, very quick at responding and sending photos. She also handled all of Willows quirks well!”
About: I have leash trained and kennel trained dogs over the years and train animals through gentle repetition and reward. Comfortable with special care such as medication or reasonable accommodation. I work from home during the day. We have a Golden Retriever named Biscuit and a Kelpie named Indi who are both super friendly and ready to play. We would prefer daytime services aside from boarding. I've lovingly cared for dogs since age 10, my mom’s farm in Missouri currently has 5 border collies. I love animals. Family, Neighbors and friends have trusted me for years to provide attentive walking & feeding for their furry companions. Currently since we have ample space on the ranch for outdoor play I have decided to start these services. We will have frequent trips to nearby parks like Sutey Ranch, Red Mt and Crown Mt.
“Monica was absolutely exceptional! She took such wonderful care of our dog, Bea, and treated her like one of her own. Every day she took Bea to the lake to play fetch, which was the highlight of her day, and it was clear she received so much love, attention, and exercise. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would gladly book Monica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for outstanding care.”
“Jess was a great dog-sitter for us. This was our first time using Rover.com and we were very satisfied with the care and updates provided by Jess while on vacation. She is highly recommended.”
“Erin and her family were fantastic sitters for my dog Pika! Erin sends lots of photos and has 2 very friendly dogs that made Pika feel right at home. Especially in a pinch when we had last minute plans around Christmas. Highly recommend, thank you so much Erin!”

Kirsten was excellent - very professional, responsive, and kept us well-informed during our dogs visit to her safe, clean home. She sent photos of our dog on walks and was quick to reply. Our dog was happy and tired (in a good way) when we came to pick him up. I world highly recommend Kirsten.
Highly recommend! Finding someone on short notice was stressful, esp with a 13 yr old pup, but everything worked out with Stuart! Communication was clear from the start, as well as quick and reassuring. I could tell right away when I dropped Boone off that he was in good hands! So nice to have peace of mind for my old man!

Every sitter on Rover 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.
94% of Carbondale sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Carbondale 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 Carbondale 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 Carbondale.
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 Carbondale 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.
