“Breanne and her family provided a wonderful, playful and loving time while I boarded my spoiled pup with them. I loved the daily pictures. I won’t hesitate to bring him back to Breanne in the future!”
“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 :)”
“Ryan is incredibly caring and contacted us when our dog Booker was not eating (which he tends to do even with us.) I was impressed with his willingness to be flexible and adjust to make our dog more comfortable. I was hugely appreciative of his communication as we worked to help our dog feel more comfortable in our absence. Treats helped! And Ryan and his son played Hide and Seek with Booker and finally got a little more comfortable. We were also happy to see that another sitter we use on Rover takes her own dog to Ryan. We will definitely use Ryan again and appreciate his gentle care.”
“We can tell Pumpkin had such a great time staying with Renea and her family. They provided updates with pictures and videos throughout the stay. We really enjoyed our experience with them, and very grateful that they took such good care of Pumpkin!!”
“Mary Jo is amazing! Our girl was treated like family, and we enjoyed the photo updates. We’re so glad to have have found her, and look forward to booking another stay for our pup again soon.”
“Tyler and Nikki were wonderful with our sweet Mellie! She quickly felt at home and looked comfortable with both of them. They sent us a ton of photos! We will definitely be booking again!”
“Peter and family were great! They took time to do a preliminary greeting to make sure dogs got along. They sent photos each day I was gone and had great communication. They were willing to accommodate giving her her medicine and using diapers at night. My dog seemed very relaxed when I went to pick her up.”
“Megan did a wonderful job with taking care of my Kaiser. She communicated, sent pictures throughout the week, and gave Kaiser the extra attention he needed!”
“Debra is very friendly, quick to respond, and is just wonderful with dogs! She sent multiple pictures and daily updates while my dog stayed with her. I know my dog was very well taken care of while I was away. She even sent some of her homemade treats home with us when I picked up Lucy. I highly recommend her and will be returning in the future!”
About: I am a recently retired, lifelong dog lover who understands how tough it can be to leave your pet while you are away. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, gerbils, guinea pigs, hamsters... Because I currently don’t have any pets of my own, your dog will enjoy my exclusive, undivided attention and will truly be treated like family! As a retiree, my schedule is completely open, meaning I am home much of the day and can devote myself to making your dog feel safe, loved, and pampered. Whether your dog needs frequent potty breaks, neighborhood walks, energetic playtime, or just a quiet companion to lounge next to while reading a book, I am here to adapt completely to their normal routine. Because I am retired and home full-time, my entire day can revolve around keeping your dog happy, safe, and comfortable! I can tailor my schedule to your dog's normal routine. I pride myself on being exceptionally dependable and trustworthy. I know how important peace of mind is when you're traveling, which is why I am a strong and proactive communicator. You can look forward to regular daily text updates and plenty of fun photos showing you exactly how much your dog is enjoying their "vacation" with me! Your dog will have the run of a calm, quiet, and secure household with a dedicated caregiver by their side. I can't wait to meet you and your special companion!
“Katie and Myles really took good care of our dog while we were out of time. He got plenty of exercise and love form the whole family. I'll definitely be rebooking with them!”
“On our introduction visit and also when we dropped Molly off they made us feel very comfortable about leaving our dog with them. Would definitely use again.”
“What a great experience! Tamara is a very sweet, loving, but professional dog mom! She kept us updated with texts and pics while we were out of town. Also, I know that our dog loved being able to freely come in and out of Tamara's backyard- something that we can't do at home because of our indoor cats. Overall, I can't imagine a better experience!”
“Traci and her family took the best care of our sweet baby Nina! She immediately made herself right at home. We received many updates through pictures and texts, and it sounded like she was having a great time with her new friends! We will definitely be using Traci and her caring family in the future! Thank you so much”
“Tiffany was able to accommodate us on short notice and she made us feel welcome and part of the group. She anticipated a lot of our questions and was prepared for all kinds of contingencies. Our dog is older, but Tiffany helped her to be comfortable and relaxed in her home.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog (Sophie) with someone who isn't a family member, so I was very anxious about it. Luiza is very communicative and pleasant to work with though. She was also flexible with the drop off and pickup as we came home early from our trip. When I went to pick Sophie up, I'm not sure she was ready to leave LOL, she greeted me and then followed Luiza back inside her house! I know my pup was well cared for and enjoyed her time playing with the other dogs.”
“This was the second time our dog stayed with Bailey and she was immediately familiar and excited to see her again! Our pup was well taken care of and always looked so happy in every photo we received.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gateway
Emilee was an outstanding sitter for our old English sheepdog, Dot. She had her for a week and Dot loved all the love and attention she got - she was sad to leave for sure. Emilee was very communicative, provided lots of pictures and updates, and I could tell she really cared for Dot. Will be using Emilee again in the future!
Lauren was wonderful! She was kind, caring, and attentive, and her communication was excellent throughout the entire process. She was also incredibly accommodating and willing to help us on very short notice, which we truly appreciated. It was clear that she genuinely cares about providing great care for pets, and we felt comfortable knowing our dog was in good hands. We would highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter and would absolutely book with her again!
Arielle and her family did a terrific job taking care of Rocky. We had a meet and greet to ensure the dogs got along. This went well and I left Rocky with them for 9 days. The night I dropped him off I was getting pictures and updates that he was settling in. All week I received pictures and updates letting me know how he was doing and what he was up to. I was able to enjoy my time away as I knew he was being taken care of and in good hands. I would highly recommend Arielle and will use her again myself. She provided me with peace of mind. Thank you!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Gateway is $44 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $64 per night. 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. 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 November 2026, there are 5,969 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Gateway. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Gateway 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 Gateway 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 Gateway.
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 Gateway. 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 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 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.
