About: I grew up with dogs and have had my own now for 8 years. Dogs are an important part of my life and I enjoy them so much. I did dog walking with Wag for about a year while I lived in Denver, I had several repeat customers who enjoyed my services. I am careful with weather, environment, and triggers for each dog. Playtime or walks are something I find very important and I ensure happens to keep them exercised and healthy. I run an online business so I am able to easily care for pets during the week and evenings. My weekends are wide open to care for your pet so you can getaway on your trips! Let your pawed friends enjoy the freedom of the country without the hustle and bustle of the city! I run an online business so I am able to easily care for pets during the daytime during weekdays. My weekends and evenings are wide open to care for your pet. I have a fenced yard for dogs to freely roam and go potty. There are nice shady trees if they enjoy lounging outside and plenty of new smells to explore. There are sticks available if your dog is a stick lover (please inform if this is not allowed.) My home has AC to keep pets cool and give shelter from summer heat. Dog water is RO filtered and pure. I can ensure there are multiple water dishes to ensure there is always water available. Potty time is always available. Walks around the neighborhood are leashed. There are no unexpected encounters with off-leash dogs on walks, the occasional neighbor dog barking from the distance. My home has distance from the next neighbor with pets. My "caged pets" that is shown on my profile is a 70 gallon saltwater aquarium with fish and corals. Should not be an issue with any pets. Some might even be curious to watch them moving around.
“Chayna and Jacob were super wonderful with my little buddy! Every day he came back happy and tired from all the walks. I could have asked for a better situation for Zuko! We are so happy we found Chayna & Jacob, working on fort Benning made the pick up and drop off seamless :)”
“Ashlie and Shiloh are awesome! Pomni had such a great time playing all day, they sent lots of pictures and communicated with us about everything! Really appreciate knowing Pomni had a good day while I was away!😊”


About: Desde mi niñez he compartido mi vida con animales, lo que me ha dado una comprensión intuitiva de sus necesidades y un profundo respeto por su bienestar. Para mí, cuidar a tu mascota no es un trabajo, es una extensión natural de mi propia vida con compañeros peludos. Ofrezco una atención compasiva y adaptada a la edad de tu peludito. Ya sean paseos lentos o la energía de tu adolescente cochorro. Debido a que mi rutina es flexible y estoy en casa, puedo ofrecer una supervisión continua. Esto significa una respuesta inmediata a cualquier necesidad, ya sea un paseo inesperado, un juego, o simplemente estar ahí para aliviar la ansiedad por separación. Adaptabilidad Total: Puedo integrar perfectamente las necesidades específicas de tu mascota (horarios de comida estrictos, paseos frecuentes, sesiones de entrenamiento cortas) en mi día sin que se conviertan en una interrupción, sino en la estructura normal de mi tiempo en casa. En resumen, mi rutina diaria gira en torno a asegurar que las mascotas a mi cargo reciban atención, estructura y compañía constante, porque siempre estoy aquí." Mi casa es espaciosa, ofreciendo un excelente ambiente interior. Además, cuento con un pequeño patio para salidas rápidas y supervisadas. Lo mejor es que estamos rodeados de lugares muy lindos para pasear, por lo que aseguramos variedad y estimulación física diaria.
“Dolores was truly so kind and welcoming to our baby boy Pine. It was our first time having a sitter and as all parents we worried quite a bit. Dolores kept us updated very frequently with pictures and messages. Pine had a great time with her and her family. We are looking forward to Pine’s next day out!”

“Jennifer provided excellent doggy daycare for our 6 month old puppy. Our pup was excited to go each day, which shows she had a great time. Jennifer had great communication and provided frequent updates. Overall, she made me feel so comfortable, and we will be using her again in the future.”

About: I've been caring for animals since I was 8 years old. My family had rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, and various other caged creatures. I have recently have the joy of a new puppy in my life that I am in the process of training to provide emotional therapy to children and adults. I am a disabled veteran entrepreneur that provides me with the opportunity to be available 7 days a week. Since getting my puppy my life revolves around pet care. I have a puppy and my roommates have her brother and a collie. All three love having friends over to play with. lf I'm coming to your house I can bring my pup for socialization or not it's totally up to you. Either way they are going to get great care and attention.

“My chihuahua mix doggies, Roscoe and Mia love Donna and she loves on them. They come home happy and content and I know they have had a great time with Donna, her dog, Opal and her husband, Dave because they come home and sleep. Also there are always lots of terrific pictures. We are thankful for Rover and Donna!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with them, I’ve always had my own, and honestly, I can’t imagine a house without one. I started helping out neighbors and family with their pets when I was 10, and I’ve been the "go-to" dog sitter for my friends ever since. I’ve handled just about every personality type there is. I treat every dog I watch like they’re part of my own family. Here is a recent review mine of my clients wasn’t able to put in my reviews Survey submitted Rating: 1 - Not at all, I felt unheard or frustrated Anything else we should know?: Look No Further Than Paula — We Found More Than a Pet Sitter! ❤️🐾 Finding someone you can completely trust to care for your pets while you’re away for two weeks can be stressful. We were incredibly fortunate to find Paula in Peyton, CO. From the very first moment we met Paula at her home for our meet-and-greet, our anxiety and worries began to disappear. What stood out immediately was how comfortable our two pets were around Paula, in her home, and even with her grandchildren. They seemed to settle in as though they had known her forever. That gave us a sense of reassurance that is difficult to put into words. While we were on our trip, Paula sent us pictures every single day. Those pictures meant so much to us because we could see for ourselves that our pets were happy, relaxed, and being genuinely cared for. It wasn’t simply someone feeding them and keeping an eye on them—Paula truly bonded with them and treated them as her own. Even after we returned home, Paula continued to check in and ask how our dogs were doing. That told us everything we needed to know about the kind of person she is and the genuine connection she made with our pets. Honestly, it felt less like leaving our pets with someone we found on an internet site and more like having a family member take care of them. We didn’t just find a pet sitter—we found someone we trust, someone our pets love, and, more importantly, we feel like we’ve gained a new member of our family. If you’re considering Paula, look no further! We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with love, patience, kindness, and genuine care, Paula is that person. Paula, thank you for giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation knowing our two furry family members were safe, happy, and loved. We are so grateful we found you! ❤️🐾 Five stars doesn’t seem like enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m 62 years old and work from home so I’m available most days, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out and play with your pups! Because of my flexible schedule your pet can always talk me into cuddling instead of working. Big bonus is I live in Meridian Ranch. We have a fenced yard with locked gates and a doggie door to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. Our yard is small so not much room for larger dogs to run. We also allow pets on our furniture as well as in the beds….just sayin…..we have two grandchildren who adore dogs and are excited about having them here when they visit. We have had some pets who have peed in the house despite being house broken. If needed we do put belly bands/&or diapers on your pet if they use our carpet/and or furniture instead of outside. We only host one family at a time so your babies get all our attention.
“Carrie and her husband did such a great job with our dogs. They were both exhausted and very content when I picked them up and provided great photos of their day together.”


About: I work from home with two friendly pups who love new friends! We’ve got a fenced yard, daily walks, and frequent dog park trips. Pup cups are a must in our routine. Your dog will feel right at home here! My life basically runs on dog time! Working remotely means I’m always around for walks, play breaks, and pup cup runs. My two dogs love having a buddy to join our daily adventures. Pet care isn’t just part of my schedule—it is my schedule! In my home, dogs are treated like family! I keep a consistent routine with plenty of playtime, walks, and downtime. Since my own dogs are crate trained at night, I ask that visiting pups bring a crate too for bedtime comfort and safety. I also prefer dogs who are housebroken, enjoy walks, and are good on a leash. To make sure everyone gets along, I like to schedule a quick meet-and-greet so your pup can meet my two friendly dogs before their stay. With a fully fenced backyard, your pup will have a safe space to play and relax.

“Bonnie had the best time with Kathleen and Dutch! She is absolutely exhausted tonight so I know she played hard. Kathleen sent some photos and videos throughout the day and it was great to know Bonnie was in great hands while I was at work.”


“Tyffanie did a great job with my Dalmatian puppy. He’s a little hyper and I was extremely nervous to drop him off but I got so many cute photos and updates from her throughout the day! He came home so tired he immediately fell asleep and seemed worn out from all the attention he received! So happy to have found her and will be using her for all my puppy’s daycare needs!”

About: We’re lifelong dog lovers with 16 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and sizes, from senior lap dogs to large, high-energy breeds. Our home currently includes a sweet 16-year-old Shih Tzu and an 80-pound Griffon, so we’re very comfortable balancing different temperaments, energy levels, routines, and care needs. What sets us apart is the environment we provide. We’re not just offering a place to stay, dogs get a calm, loving home with plenty of space to safely explore, play, sniff, relax, and feel part of the family. We understand that every dog is different, and we adapt to their comfort level, whether they’re an energetic adventurer or a couch cuddler who just wants a quiet place to nap. We’re especially attentive to communication, routines, and making pet parents feel confident while they’re away. Pets are already a central part of our daily life, so welcoming additional dogs into our routine feels natural. Our days already revolve around walks, feeding schedules, outdoor time, play, cuddles, and making sure our own dogs are happy and comfortable. Because I work from home and wespend a lot of time at home as a family, dogs receive consistent supervision, companionship, and interaction throughout the day, not just quick check-ins. We also have the flexibility to accommodate different exercise needs, potty schedules, and slower-paced senior routines when needed. Weekends are especially great for dogs here, with lots of outdoor time, relaxed family energy, and room to roam. Creating a safe, low-stress environment is our top priority. Dogs in our care are treated like part of the family and are always supervised appropriately based on temperament, age, and energy level. Our property provides plenty of space for dogs to play and explore safely while still having access to comfortable indoor areas to rest and decompress. Since we have experience with both senior dogs and large breeds, we understand the importance of introductions, boundaries, pacing, and reading dog behavior carefully. We keep communication open and proactive with pet parents and are happy to provide updates, photos, and reassurance throughout each stay. Our goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, loved, exercised, and genuinely at home while you’re away.
“Booch spent her first day with Jocelyn. I loved getting the pictures and report. Booch was a bit nervous at first but Jocelyn was so kind. Booch was active all day with Pumpkin and is now resting. Booch can't wait for her next visit.”

“She's a pro,! I have a dominate dog and Amber has the experience and confidence to help us settle in right from the first impression. Her scheduling and communication is thorough and makes me feel lucky when I have a chance to give her money. On the other hand, Ruca gets so excited pulling up to Amber's house I get kind of jealous! ☺️”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ellicott commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
