“Rene did an exceptional job watching my pup and have already rebooked her multiple times for the future. Communication was great and my pup didn’t seem to want to leave!”
“Jenna and Jason watched our dogs while we were out of the country for a bit over a week. They made sure to go the extra mile to give lots of love and attention to our dogs, including walks, with daily updates, and were very attentive to their needs. We are very grateful to find such a great family and our pups look forward to their next stay or visit! Thank you!”
“Our pup loved being with Lindsey and Josh! They were very attentive and took great care of him! The pictures they sent every day were amazing and gave such peace of mind that our boy was in great loving hands.”
“Jessie was so great for our dogs. They are both rescues & have their own specific needs, which she accommodated without hesitation. She made us feel like we didn’t have to worry about how our pups were doing at her house, a new environment, because she sent us photos & updates on them every day. She got right back to us with every message sent & this world class communication gave us reassurance and relief in knowing that our dogs were in good hands, especially for our 18 month old rescue who has never spent the night away from us or away from home that long. We will use Jessie again in the future!”
“Anne and family are amazing - we are really fortunate to have such a great place for our Sally to stay when we can’t travel w/ her!! We know she is well cared for and we receive lots of updates and pictures when we are gone.”
“They are the best! Super flexible, great communication, and they take great care of my dog who can be a handful. My dog gets super excited to stay with them!”
“Cindy and Bill took great care of our Gracie followed our instructions and most importantly gave Gracie lots of love. She sent lots of pictures which reassured us that she was happy and content there.”
“Ashley and Jeremy took great care of Chilli while we were away. They gave us updates and sent us pictures of her every day. She came back home a tired and happy dog! We’ll happily book with them again when we go out of town next”
“Prompt, thorough communication to set up meet & greet and stay. Sent updates and photos a couple of times per day while we were away, which was really comforting. We could tell from pictures that our Zoe was happy and enjoyed her with Megan and her family”
“Lauren and Matt were absolutely amazing with my dog, Mac, over the long weekend! From the start, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear they genuinely love dogs—they gave Mac so much love, attention, and excellent care. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. They kept me updated and made the whole experience stress-free. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Lauren and Matt again, and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, reliable sitters. Thank you both for taking such wonderful care of Mac!”
“Loki had the most wonderful stay! From the moment we met, I could tell he was going to be in great hands. Yasmine treated Loki like part of her family, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Loki can be a little particular (and he’s missing quite a few teeth!), but Yasmine handled all of his little quirks with so much care and attention. She followed his feeding routine perfectly and made sure he was comfortable the entire time. It truly felt like he was staying with a trusted friend rather than a sitter. I’m so grateful for the love and attention Yasmine gave him, and I would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Summer is the best! She always send pictures and updates of our lil buddy. Bones (our doggie) loves her and her pets and gets daily walks and outdoor time. We have booked with her twice and will again in the future.”
“Michael was awesome! He took our yorkie super last minute and was great about sending us updates, pics and video. Riley essentially had an awesome doggie play date for 24 hours. I hope to have Michael watch Riley many times again. :)”
“Tyler took great care of our dog, and she got along well with his very sweet dog. He sent regular updates with pictures. We would definitely have him watch our dog again!”
“Jessica and Teryn were amazing! They took such great care of Bella while I was away for the week. They were super communicative the whole time and sent updates that made it really easy to relax knowing she was in good hands.”
“Staci did great with Cortez & had amazing communication! He played in the yard all day & came home completely wiped out, which was great for us 😂”
“Maribeth and Markell were incredible! It was so obvious that Juniper was well taken care of for his long stay. He particularly loved getting to play all the time with Markell. Their house and backyard are perfect for a dog that loves to play. They were so thoughtful in every aspect of Junipers care. I could not recommend them more.”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
Jenna & Jason were amazing. They and their daughter spoiled my pup and sent me updates frequently. They also accommodated an extra night at last minute when I encountered some car issues on the way home, even helping me by dropping off my dog at home. Highly recommend!!!
Always Gayle is a wonderful dog sitter. I highly recommend Gayle. I never worry about my little guy being with Gayle. She sends me pictures and from the pictures I know my little guy is having a fun time. When I drop him off he goes right in and that’s reassuring he loves it there.
Rene (and her family when home) gave Benjie a safe, secure, nurturing and loving place for his entire 9-day stay. She is a good communicator, texting questions when needed and sending pics every couple days. I felt such a relief when I dropped him off and knew that he was in a peaceful, loving environment. The day after I brought him home, he was very somber for the entire day and I knew he missed her and her wonderful family. Best experience ever!
Molly did a great job watching my golden doodle. She is great at caring for him and giving him any medication or supplements needed. She even took him to the veterinarian when he needed it and I was out of town. She provided lots of updates when she watched him. She is one of the best pet sitters that I’ve found on Rover.
Brianne and Scott are thoughtful, kind, caring and conscientiousness. I have two dogs with individual needs and I felt confident after the meet and greet my pups would be in good hands. I try to be prepared for every situation and yet I think anything could have happened and they would know what to do. These are the kind of people you can trust in emergencies but are lucky to have for every day sitting. Thank you again! The dogs are happy and tired today.
Katiee was absolutely incredible with our two dogs, Charley and Moose! This is our second time using Katiee and we are so happy we did. When we had a last minute travel change and flight delay, Katiee was extremely accommodating and even stayed up late so we could get pick up our dogs in the middle of the night. Very appreciative of her flexibility and kindness!
Mayra was great with our dog, and kept us updated with pictures and any information we needed while we were away! Our dog has strict diet needs, so it was a relief that they were careful about keeping him from getting into anything he shouldn't be eating. It's very assuring to know that he's comfortable staying with them!
Clay and Taylor were fabulous, and my buddy had a great time with their dog Copper! I felt completely comfortable leaving him with them. They sent just the right amount of updates and photos, which we loved and appreciated. They took him on walks, and he got lots of fresh air and chances to roll around in the grass. Our Rusty loves his cuddles and it was great to see they were taking good care of him. Plus they took him for a whole week during a holiday, which was a very important trip for us. They were very gracious when I needed to be in touch with them about our schedule, and were always responsive if I needed to contact them. Please don’t hesitate to book with this lovely family! :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Derby 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 Derby.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Derby 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.
