“Mark was wonderful! He has a way with dogs, and he makes caring for your fur babies a lifestyle. There’s a big run for the pups to play in, as well as separated spaces for pups that prefer to be on their own. He was great about administering our dog’s medicine and keeping her on her food schedule, and he would send us frequent updates so we knew she was in good hands. Thank you so much, Mark!”

“So glad we found Ashley on Rover. This was our dog’s first time at a sitter and he was pretty nervous at first. Ashley was patient ( even after our dog felt a need to leave his mark inside her house) and took her time with him, while sending us updates and pictures for the duration of his stay.”

“Bently had a great stay with Jack! Drop off and pick up were very smooth and I received lots of pictures. Bently had just started Prednisone and Jack gave him the medication and paid close attention to his well-being. Great communication and Bently would love to stay again if we're ever back in the area!”

About: I'm an animal lover! We have two dogs (Border Collie mixes) and one cat. I know how important it is to feel like your fur friends are in good hands and I will make sure I do that for you. I have experience giving meds to both cats and dogs, if needed. We have two kids, 5 & 6 years old, who are very good and gentle with pets. They have a lot of experience with animals. All I ask is that your pet is also kid-friendly! They will be closely monitore together. You may have noticed in my photos that we also have chickens! They do have a large, separate yard, so they will be in their own area when we have visiting pets. They are well secured, so if you worry your dog might get excited and chase them, their fence will keep them safe. During the school year, I drop my kids off in the morning, might have short errands to run, home most of the day, then pick the kids up in the afternoon. Our dogs eat in the morning and the evening with many potty breaks in between. As for summer, we spend most of our time outside in the yard. My husband is a wildland firefighter, so I am home with the kids most of the time. As a photographer, my schedule is very flexible. I usually only do photo sessions during the evening and they're only a half hour to an hour long. When I have weddings, it's likely I won't be available because they are long days away from home and I wouldn't want to leave your pet alone for that long, my availability will be updated accordingly. Even with photo sessions and school, I am home a lot! I understand from experience how it can feel to leave your pets somewhere unknown. I will do my very best to keep to the schedule your pets are usually on. Feeding, potty breaks, medication, etc. I will make sure they feel at home, get love and attention, play time, walks, and anything else they would normally enjoy. Feel free to bring them a bed so they have somewhere to sleep. Our dogs sleep on our bed, but we will make sure your pet doesn't feel lonely at bedtime, too!

I was not able to keep our appointment due to an injury but Mark was so easy to communicate with and attentive. I am sure my pup would have had a great time at his house, Thank you Mark for clear communication.

Sandra is absolutely wonderful. A pleasure to talk and communicate with. Kept us updated with text and pictures of our pup. We had no worries while Oscar was in her care. Would absolutely recommend and use again if in the area.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dolores on Rover is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $55 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 19 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Dolores. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Dolores 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 Dolores.

<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 Dolores 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.
