“Brooke and Nathan were terrific and we had a wonderful experience with them. Communication was excellent, they were very responsive, and we felt completely comfortable leaving our Enzo in their care. Enzo came home happy, and we'll gladly book with them again in the future.”

“Sarah and Darren are great. They take great care of our 2 pooches who always seem happy to be there - they get love, walks, and playmates with other dogs. Thank you.”

“I highly recommend this dog sitter! They took amazing care of my dog, Carina, giving her daily walks, lots of love, and excellent care. Carina came home happy, healthy, and well cared for. I truly appreciated the updates and peace of mind. I would definitely book with Kris again!”

“Rip enjoyed his time here so much! Heatherlyn is very knowledgeable about dogs and i feel very safe leaving him here. He was very spoiled with pup cup and treats and had a great time playing and chilling with Lucian. Got lots of update pics/videos :)”

“Y’all - there is no place else to look besides Christie for furry friend support! She is the kindest, most thoughtful, caring, and considerate Rover friend! After we had a completely unexpected change of plans for our lil Sadie’s care during our vacation (MID-travel mind you! 🫠), Christie came through and saved the day! She not only coordinated pick up of our pup, but truly gave our dog an epic vacay (Sadie loved Christie’s sweet dog, Lilo so much). Her updates and videos of the fun times they were having brought our whole family joy and peace of mind while away, knowing Sadie was well cared for. Thank you, lovely Christie! We hope to use you again and again!”

“This was Lucy's second stay with Stephanie. We received frequent and detailed updates as well as photos and videos. We will continue boarding Lucy with Stephanie in the future.”

“I would give 10 stars if I could. Tim is great with Cabi and Nugget. Nugget is usually shy around people he doesn't know. He was laying on Tim's lap within hours of being there. I highly recommend Tim. It is comforting to know my pups are well taken care of when I have to board them.”

“This is the second time Shula stayed with Renea and Dave - they are so great and she has such a wonderful time staying with them! They truly shower her with love and attention. We will definitely use them in the future!❤️”

“Elizabeth was easy to work with and she made our dog apart of her family for his stay. She responded quickly and gave us daily updates. We look forward to working with Elizabeth in the near future. Thank you for opening your home. 🥰”

“Ryan has been a great boarder for our golden retriever. He's very flexible, great communicator, and easy to work with. Mezzy is always happy and tired when he comes home - the signs of a great stay! We'll use Ryan whenever we can.”

“Katiane was an outstanding caregiver for my little dog. This was the first time I left him. She along with her husband and children were so accommodating and I believe Jax was sad to leave the family. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Above and beyond! Made time and room to get my pup in for a last minute long weekend. Shared pics, video, love! This was a return stay, and I’ve already booked another. Danielle is the best!”

“Lindsey was an INCREDIBLE Rover. I really mean it, your dog will be in heaven. They are a house of animal lovers and all the updates made me so happy to see how much fun Otto was having. This is definitely the best of Rover, don't miss out on a chance to book with Lindsey & fam :)”

“Aralee and Mark were incredible with our pup! They took excellent care of him, integrated him with their pups, gave him lots of love, and send us daily updates and pictures. It made me feel so at ease knowing that he’s well taken care of. I definitely will rebook again with them in the future!”


“Breanne was incredibly amazing and incredibly accommodating. My Great Dane absolutely adored every moment of his extended stay, and this was his first time away from his family or being watched. Breanne was incredibly flexible with booking and sent me daily pictures to keep me updated while I was away. I will definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone I know. Thank you so much!”

“Deanna is great! My dog loved his time with her and her two sweet pups. She sent me several pictures and updates while I boarded my dog with her. I will be booking with her again!”

“They were so kind and caring of our little one. We couldn’t be more grateful for their excellent care and kindness. Our dog seems to be missing them:) There is no greater compliment!”

“Our dog had a great time with Lauren’s family. They took great care of him and he was immediately treated as a member of their family. We’d definitely use Lauren again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gateway
Olivia is exactly the pet sitter I was looking for. She was the perfect fit for our two senior pets: our dog is anxious and dog-reactive and our cat is blind and diabetic. I wasn't sure I'd be able to find someone with the right skillset and home environment for their needs, but thankfully, she checked every box and then some! She made sure no other dogs came into contact with our pup, so I never had to worry about him having a bad interaction while we were away. She also kept very detailed notes on our cat's blood sugar readings and contacted me when there were any questions about her levels. Her wealth of experience as a vet tech was invaluable - I could trust she was knowledgeable about pet diabetes and injectable medication. Olivia provided updates and pictures about once a day, which was perfect for me since I wasn't always available while I was away. It was a relief to see our pets were comfortable and that everything was under control. When it was time to pick them up, she had all of their supplies packed and ready to go. That was a huge help since I got back into town late and wanted to get them back home quickly so I could get some rest. I found myself worrying way less during my trip than I expected because I knew they were doing well. Thanks to her, we can actually consider leaving town more often, knowing they'll be in good hands. I really can't stress enough how relieved and satisfied I am with the care she provided. If you have pets who need a little extra care, she's the one to call. Thank you so much again, Olivia!! :)

Harper had a great time. Even though she didn’t seem to want to eat well while we were gone, Dawn and Rob used every trick in the book to get her to eat and were very attentive to solving the problem. Harper was excited we were back, once back home, it was like she never left, seemingly unfazed by our leaving her Dawn and Rob were great about communicating and sending pictures and videos too! Thanks so much for taking such great care of our girl.

Lucia and Luis did such a great job caring for my dog, Luna, and my cat, Ollie! I was out of the country for 2 weeks and they put my mind at ease with daily updates. They took them on walks everyday, and gave them extra pets and snuggles while I was gone. I’m grateful for the service they provided and I will be reaching back out in the future!

Carolina and her family were so wonderful with our sweet, shy goldendoodle for her nearly two week stay. We appreciated her warm and calm demeanor, great communication with daily updates and photos, and lots of walks, playtime, and love given to our pup. We never worried about her while we were on our extended vacation. Carolina will absolutely be in our regular sitter rotation and we highly recommend her to others!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 Gateway home-away-from-home, 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 Gateway.
<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 Gateway 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 , 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 .
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.
