“Rachel is incredible. She is so responsive, accommodating, warm, and caring. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her even though I had never met her beforehand. Right off the bat, she asked what treats my dog likes so that she can make sure to "spoil her like visiting grandma." That told me that she was just as excited to care for my dog as I was nervous to send my dog to another home for a weekend. She sends pictures, updates, and even made arrangements to pick up/drop off my dog. Could not recommend Rachel more!”
“Suzanne was wonderful in accommodating a last minute request for care. She was super flexible on time and pickup and was very attentive. She took Bodee on many walks and adventures while in her care and even sent pics. 10/10 experience and highly recommend.”
“Kirsten (and family) were great for our dogs! They gave them plenty of love and took them on walks. We greatly appreciated the pictures, letting us know they were settling in ok. Our two large dogs can be a bit to handle, but Kirsten was great! Thanks again!”
“Megan was so great with my dog Millie! She took her for lots of walks and sent me lots of pictures! I could tell she cared about Millie. She was very communicative and was understanding when we ran into some difficulties with travel. I will definitely be reaching out again!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I've had animals my whole life and grew up with dogs, cats, and my own horses. I lost my two dogs recently and I'm not ready to adopt again, but I'm not ready to go without dogs either. My Aussie needed a lot of extra care near the end, so senior pups are no problem. I can do meds, oral or injection. I've raised puppies too. Anxious dogs and dogs who are super bonded to their people tend to do well with me. Honestly, I find animals easier than humans. I haven't met a dog I couldn't bond with yet. I work from home, so your pup is with me pretty much all day. If I run an errand they come along, unless it's too hot to wait in the car- in which case they will hang at home. They sleep in my room unless you want something different. Right now I'm wide open and flexible with enough heads up I only take one family at a time, up to three dogs. No mixing households, so your pups get all my attention. Any size or breed is welcome, they just need to be house trained (unless they are a puppy- then please provide house training status). There's no fence, but there's a huge lawn and lake and river access for swimmers. Off leash only happens with great recall and your OK. Otherwise they're leashed outside. Either way, I'm always out there with them.
“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.”
“They are amazing dog sitters and the reason we could enjoy the great hikes in Aspen. Lucky had a great time with them. Thank you so much for accommodating our schedules.”
“Kristine was amazing. Looked after Indy so well, took him on some great walks so he could cool down in the creeks. Kept us regularly updated with photos and details on what Indy had been up to. Thanks Kristine!”
About: I've taken care of all dogs since I was 4 years old. My favorite childhood memory was walking my dad's dogs every night with my friends. I am currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pets during the week and on weekends too. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, it is a great way to have companionship and walk outside on the many trails around my neighborhood.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carbondale
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carbondale is $83 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $104 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in Carbondale can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carbondale home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
