âI almost hate to tell the truth because we want Joan all to ourselves!! Our pup just loves staying with Joan. She comes home happy and well rested. Our girl is shy and nervous but took to Joan right away. Joan is awesome!â
âKyle and his family provided exceptional care of our dog on her recent 7 day stay. My dog was recovering from a broken leg and had a cast which greatly limited her mobility, and had to be given multiple medications throughout the day. This was our second time using Kyle's family and we will continue to use them for our future travel. Our somewhat fussy dog loves it at their house!â
âThank you to Andrea and team for caring for my dog! I feel like Coal goes to a resort when he stays with Andrea. He gets a chance to run the yard, oh the yard!, goes on regular walks, is brushed like a baby and otherwise gets pampered. And yes, coming home - he is asleep in the car as he gets plenty of exercise. He is well adjusted, not nervous, runs to Andreaâs door when he knows he is staying there. Andrea does a great job of matching the dogs and making sure they are aligned in temperament and are getting along well! Thank you so much, Andrea, weâll be seeing you soon!â
âAndrea is absolutely the best! I am a repeat customer and I canât say enough good things about how she cares for our dog. Love that she only watches small dogs.â
âBrenda was a great communicator and had a good system for keeping the dogs entertained and well-cared for. She followed our feeding instructions carefully, was easy to get in touch with, and sent lots of photos and updates! We hope that our dog can stay with her again in the future.â
âAnnie and Israel were great with our rescue dog on his long visit! They were very accommodating and let us do a daycare visit to see how he would integrate into their home for a day before we left on a long trip. Throughout each visit we were given plenty of updates and photos, and were responsive when we checked in to see how he was doing. They take great care of their pet guests and ensure a safe environment with supervision and gates throughout the house, which was very thoughtful. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing our dog was well taken care of! We would use their services again.â
âJosslyn was great! She was able to take my baby on short notice when another sitter canceled with less than 24 hours before the booking! She responds quickly and sends lots of pictures. My girl was super happy there! Well be using her again. Thanks Josslyn!â
âZoe was amazing! She had excellent communication before taking care of our dog - took time to learn his needs and routine and asked questions to clarify etc. During the stay she provided frequent updates and regular (professional quality) photos of him, and he clearly had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend and will definitely use her again!â
âJudith is an absolute joy! Such a wonderful sitter! Caring, attentive, and communicative! Has a quaint backyard for the pups to run and play in, great with schedules and sending photos upon request. Would definitely be using her services in the future!â
âAlvin was a great Dogsitter for us! We initially needed to reschedule because of a trip cancellation and he was so understanding so it made booking him this time a no brainer. We got daily pictures of and compliments about our boy, and it sounded like Alvin really enjoyed his time with Bigs. It was very easy to coordinate with him, and weâd love to use him again!â
âJulia was great while watching our dog! Received plenty of photos and looked like he had a great time on walks and in the water. Will definitely be booking again.â
âWe were so lucky to find Dana, who did an absolutely amazing job caring for Poppy while we were away. She went above and beyond to make sure Poppy was comfortable and kept us updated every day.â
About: I have worked with small, medium, and large breeds of dogs in addition to cats and plant care. Iâve loved animals forever and genuinely enjoy getting to meet all of your wonderful pets. I work in fitness so I would love to go for walks, runs, or hikes with your pets (I even have a backpack for my own little dog to join on hikes). I work a full-time 9-5 job, but the hours are very flexible if I need to step away for a portion of time and I work remotely on Fridays, so I can manage your long weekends :) For drop-in visits, I generally arrive and give the dog some attention/play time, then I will check water, food (if needed), and then will take them outside for a walk/potty break. For cats, it depends a lot, but I try to keep the same habit and swap the walk for cleaning the litter box. If house sitting, I will do my best to be as present as I can in the home, but this depends on my work schedule and owner requests. Dogs can be taken out 2-4 times per day.
âWe were very happy having Michael take care of our Lab for a long weekend. He clearly deeply cares for dogs. Communication was easy from our initial request to picking up our dog at the end of the stay, with Michael sending regular updates. Highly recommend booking with him!â
âThis is our second time booking with Nichole, she and her family are wonderful! They are very attentive to our pups needs, keeps us updated, and are very caring. We trust her fully watching our dog and you can be at ease if she watches yours. Highly recommend booking with Nichole.â
âSavannah was great! She was super accommodating and even gave us pupdates on Gertrude throughout our trip. She was very responsive and even provided a sketch of our pup when we got back! Definitely recommend her services and would book again.â

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Fort Collins
Zoe was fantastic! This was our first time leaving Moka overnight somewhere. Zoe was very helpful before the booking and hosted a meet and greet in advance to make sure our pups got along. We received frequent updates and pictures during the stay. We will absolutely be asking Zoe to watch Moka again in the future.
Delaney and Isaac did a fantastic job taking care of my dog Cain! I was gone for 2 weeks so I was a little nervous about leaving him for so long with new people but they did such a great job and sent lots of photos which really eased my mind. Definitely recommend booking with them!
Stanley was absolutely wonderful with Ranger! From the moment we dropped him off, we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. He kept us updated throughout the stay with plenty of pictures and messages, which we really appreciated. He took Ranger on walks, gave him lots of attention, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with him. He was also incredibly flexible with our pickup time, which made our already hectic day so much easier. Ranger clearly had a great time, and weâll absolutely be using Stanley again. Highly recommend!
We had such a great experience with them! They took such good care of our beagle and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Itâs not easy leaving your fur baby with someone else, but we felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. We really appreciate their care, patience, and kindness. We would definitely trust Travis and his family with our pup again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Can not praise Lisa enough for her excellent care of our 14.5 year old pup, Penny. Over a 10 day stay we knew Penny was loved and cared for as if she were Lisa's own dog, and the updates on how it was all going were perfect. I would not hesitate to leave Penny with her, and her own dog Billie, again. It is always so wonderful to know you don't have to worry about your four legged family when you are away!
Mikey is a great guy. He took wonderful care of my guy Maverick and based off the photos I got, I'd say they had a lot of fun. He asked really great questions and made sure that he was fully prepped for top tier care of my baby. I highly recommend booking with him if he has open availability. đđ
Stacey is incredible! She is an animal person through and through. Our pup is a very sensitive, anxious, at times challenging boy with lots of quirks-- and she is amazing at making him feel comfortable and safe. He got to truly be on vacation with Stacey! We are so incredibly grateful for her!!
Kayla has taken care of my 11-year-old Lab, Runner, twice while Iâve been traveling, and she has been wonderful with him. She is incredibly caring, patient, and accommodating to his needs as an older dog. The best recommendation really comes from Runner himself, he is always happy and excited to go to Kaylaâs house! He also gets along great with her pup, Waffles, and is always excited to see him and play together. It gives me great peace of mind knowing Runner is somewhere he feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while Iâm away. I would absolutely recommend Kayla to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with genuine care and affection.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs.

If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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 dogâs regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Fort Collins can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dogâs 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 dogâs 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 Fort Collins 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 Fort Collins.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs 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 Fort Collins. On Rover:
- 92% 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 Fort Collins sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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. Youâll 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.
