“Multiple repeat customer! We cannot say enough about Joan...simply, the best! Giving frequent updates with lots of photos and videos, we see your Sawyer being content and happy!! When we picked him up from this visit, he even went back to "hug" her. We feel confident and content with our "always" decision to have Joan watch Sawyer...she feels like family and cares for your pet as such. Thank you, Joan!! <3”
“Shanik and her husband are so loving and amazing with our dog Cache. They love him like we do when we are away. Cache and their dog Manni are the best of friends and Shanik sends us pictures of them snuggling and playing every day. We couldn't have found a better dog sitter and I will be a repeat customer for as long as they will have us!”
“Nicole was such a wonderful dog sitter to my baby dachshund. She kept me updated constantly and asked all the right questions. I felt extremely at ease knowing Nicole was doing everything in her power to make sure my dog was well fed, exercised and entertained. Definitely would recommend Nicole for any of your pet sitting needs :)”
“Barney absolutely loved his mini vacation at Megan’s. She sent a ton of pics throughout the day of Barney and Bos having a blast. Megan and her husband tired Barney out as he took a big nap once we got home. Megan is an excellent Rover choice and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Golden, Arvada, and Denver area in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter ?”

She even got to go on a fun girls shopping trip with Della + her daughter. Always appreciate all the photos, consistent updates, and knowing Indie is getting so much love and attention. The Boulder community is so lucky to have Della look after the town pups!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Empire
Alec was absolutely fantastic! He cared for our dog, Maggie, and our cat, Althea, in his home for two weeks while we were away, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, Alec was incredibly communicative. He kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It was obvious that he genuinely cared about both of them. Maggie came home relaxed, happy, and clearly loved, and Althea was equally well taken care of. It’s not always easy to find someone you trust with both a dog and a cat for an extended stay, but Alec exceeded all of our expectations. If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, caring, attentive, and keeps you informed every step of the way, I wholeheartedly recommend Alec. We would not hesitate to book with him again. Thank you, Alec, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family!
Alec was an amazing sitter for my dog Aurora. He was very communicative and professional. He was also very easy to coordinate details with and flexible during pick up and drop off. He made sure Aurora felt at home and got enough exercise. We would highly recommend Alec and will be reusing him in the future if needed.

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.

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 Empire 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 Empire 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 Empire.
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 Empire. 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 Empire 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.
