“What a wonderful experience! She was so good to my 6 month old puppy for 9 nights and I swear he came back more well behaved. She gave us updates every day and he was very happy and healthy when we picked him up. She was also incredibly understanding when our flight was majorly delayed which took a lot of stress off of an already stressful situation. Can’t go wrong here - highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Walter loves being there! He gets really excited the moment we turn on the street. I get the best pictures and I know he’s safe and happy when he’s with Lindsay and Josh”
“Morgan and Matthew were EXCELLENT! I will definitely be using them again if I go away. My dog had a paw infection that I only learned about the morning of dropping her off. Morgan and Matthew were great and super receptive to last minute medication and care instructions! I felt the most comfortable that I've ever felt with leaving her with a sitter I didn't previously know. 10/10 would recommend!”
“As dog parents, we wanted our fur baby with someone reliable as well as professional- and Ashley delivered on every level✨. Communication was prompt and clear, and we especially appreciated the updates/pictures, which allowed us to have peace of mind knowing our dog was in excellent hands. Most importantly, Islay was happy when I picked her up. We would confidently book again!”
“Anne and her family was an amazing at taking care of my dog Jasper while we were on vacation! Jasper had a vacation of his own! We looked forward to the daily updates, and he seemed like he was having a blast!”
“Kysseria and Debb great with our fur baby Quintin. They communicated with us regularly and we're able to accommodate the time we needed. Pictures were sent and he seemed very content. Thank you.”
“Dana was great with our dog. She sent pictures and communicated regularly. We appreciated meeting her family and dog too! It's always nice to see the environment, people, and pets your dog will be spending time with during the stay. Will definitely use Dana in the future!”
“Cookie had a great stay with Gabriela. Her pets were friendly, and she was flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. We will definitely book with her again”
“Keri and her resident animals were wonderful with my pup! She sent thoughtful updates with pictures and videos throughout the stay. I could tell my dog was having the time of her life!”
“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.”
“Shawn is an excellent pet sitter! He gave us peace of mind while we were on vacation knowing someone was attentively taking care of our dog. Shawn goes the extra mile to ensure that your pet will be comfortable. We most definitely will be booking with him again!”
“Anna took amazing care of Louie! She took him on hikes, kept him active, and sent me pictures every day of their adventures. It was great knowing he was in such good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“Jessica and Teryn are great hosts! Rupert had a wonderful stay and we felt completely at ease during our entire trip. We got regular updates and photos and they have a super sweet dog to help keep company. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again in the future!”
“Alisa is amazing! I was quite concerned about leaving our 7 year old nervous rescue dog with anyone. She loved Alisa. She was so excited each time we get in the car (highly unusual) because I'm pretty sure she was hoping to get to see Alisa and her doggies. It is such a relief to have this wonderful human to take care of our past-traumatized dog.”
“We left our 2 dogs with Jackie for 10 days, the longest we have ever left them, and couldn’t be happier with our experience! She has a big dog friendly yard, the sweetest pup Oliver who our dogs loved to play with and only 20 mins from the airport!! She sent us pictures and updates everyday. We will definitely be using her again!”
“My baby girl really feels at home! You can tell that she loves them and they love her! She use to hate when I went on work trips, but now she actually enjoys it! Kristal’s two pups are adorable and always greet me at the door, they are such sweethearts! I’m so happy I found someone I can trust with my baby! And you can tell she treats her as her own baby :) thanks again!!”
“Ricardo was wonderful! This was our second time booking with him and he took great care of Jeter. Jeter came back home happy and tired! We look forward to booking with him again!”
“Heather was great! Super friendly & communicative, sent pictures throughout Coopers stay and it looked like the dogs had a great time hanging together. Would definitely book again”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Derby
We absolutely love Ms. Gayle! We’ve booked with her repeatedly, and she always takes such great care of our Charlie! Her home is always clean, and we feel completely comfortable knowing Charlie is in such good hands. One thing we especially appreciate is how thoughtful she is about communicating her availability. She always gives us a heads-up when she anticipates having limited openings so we can book early. It’s those little things that make such a difference! We’re so grateful to have found someone we trust with our fur baby. Highly recommend Ms. Gayle!
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
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Derby is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $31 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 6,367 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Derby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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.
96% of sitters in Derby 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 Derby 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 Derby.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Derby. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
