“Sehwa and Adam were truly a dream find! This was the first time we left our girl with someone outside of family and we were quite nervous about it, but they truly treated her like one of THEIR family and our concern quickly melted away. We got great updates every day with the funnest pictures attached. Knowing that Addie was being taken such good care of, allowed us to enjoy our family vacation even more without the stress or worry of if she is happy herself 🩷”
“We were nervous about leaving our little guy because he can be particular and he’s so tiny. Eric and Kim put us at ease and were very communicative! It was awesome to see Rocket being himself in video updates and pictures. We’re so appreciative of the care they gave him!”
“Melinda was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive. Sent pictures every day to check in. Her fenced-in yard was great for my active golden. Definitely will book again!”
“This is our second time using Paul to watch our babies, and it was the same as last time. Wonderful! The dogs did great, and we go daily updates. We will definitely be using him the next time we leave town!”
“Stella had an amazing stay with Stephen and his family. It was a great experience all around and communication was great. Stella was taken very good care of and we would definitely use Stephen again for a sitter. Really appreciate how well she was taken care of! Thank you!”
“Jamie took great care of our dog and he was very happy staying with her and her family. We appreciated periodic updates so we knew he was doing well and having fun. We highly recommend Jamie!”
“Absolutely amazing experience! Alexandra shared plenty of photos and kept us updated throughout the entire stay. She was incredibly quick to respond, and our energetic golden had the best time. She took him on hikes, long walks, and he loved playing in her great backyard. We’d highly recommend her and will definitely book again!”
“Shawna put my mind at ease while I was gone for a long trip! This was my first time using a sitter for a 10 day trip so I was nervous but Shawna was willing to do a trial overnight and spend an hour with me going over the training we’re working on. She provided updates and let me know what they were getting up to, which was much appreciated.”
“Debra was a wonderful pet sitter for Kaya. She has a perfect setup for pups and is very attentive to their specific needs. I appreciate her clear communication and needs regarding each client. She also seems invested in all of the clients and pups she takes care of and was knowledgeable about the dogs that would be there while Kaya was staying. I appreciated the updates. I would definitely book with Debra again.”
“Chelcee and Alexander took great care of our dog. They were very responsive when we sent them messages. We will definitely use them again to board our dog.”
“Daphne took amazing care of my dog Dobby! She was so thorough, and sent several updates each day. I absolutely recommend her to others! I’ll definitely be asking her (and her sweet dog Oliver) to look after Dobby again the future!”
“They always do such an amazing job with Frankie!! He has special needs and they always follow all the instructions I give them. He is always so happy when I pick him up it’s hard to get him to leave he has such a great time!!”
“Short review is Luke is a fully capable sitter who can handle any situation you may have. And your dog will come back happier. Long version, My dog Tucker her has special needs. He was attacked a couple of years ago and doesn’t do well around aggressive, male dogs or a bunch of dogs. The first time I brought Tucker to Luke’s house, he met his beautiful dog Brolie. He’s very energetic but very well trained. I was a little hesitant, but Broly let Tucker settle in and by time I had come back to pick him up the first day after an hour they were already best friends. It was at this time. I felt comfortable going on my four day trip. Not only did Luke send many pictures of Tucker looking happy and stress-free, but was always there to quickly respond if I had any questions. I also had a situation where I could be back a day earlier or not, and there was never an issue if I needed to extend my stay, Luke would’ve had my back. I can’t say enough good things about what Luke did to help make Tucker feel safe and loved. He realized that Tucker was super food driven and always gave him little treats when he needed it and even toppers for his food when Tucker was jealous of Brolie’s dinner. Not only that but Luca is training to be professional dog trainer so if you need somebody who is very understanding, kind hearted, and absolutely appreciates your love for your pet, Luke is your guy. But just not too many of you because I need him to save a spot for Tucker lol”
“Amber & Chris were fantastic. They took great care of our Finn and Theo while we were gone for a long weekend. Both of our boys need a bit more attention than other dogs, but Amber & Chris had no issues with that. We can tell that they were well loved and we really appreciated the daily updates and photos. We’d definitely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone!”
“Analisa was great. Low stress, communicative, & flexible with my changing timelines (thank you!!). My dog was clearly happy in her care and her kids loved him as well. I would certainly book with her again :)”
“Lynn and John are such a genuinely lovely couple. They are so personable and accommodating. They were able to watch my dog on such short notice. Their house was prepared with lots of goodies for our dogs, like a toy basket, treat cabinet, plenty of room to explore and even a backyard. We’re from out of town but we would definitely trust them to watch our pup again! Thank you Lynn and John! ☺️”
“Snacks had such a great time!! Olivia, Ryan, and Archie are pros, they are a gem in the Denver area!!! You’ll get regular updates and the best care and attention. 💛”

Savannah did a great job with Sadie. She was friendly, easy to communicate with, followed all of our instructions, and sent plenty of photos and updates throughout the stay. It was great seeing Sadie swimming, going on little adventures, running errands, and getting lots of attention and cuddles. It was obvious she was well taken care of and comfortable the entire time. No complaints at all, and will definitely book with Savannah again in the future.
Blake is amazing! She took care of our dog, Tucker, for a few days, and it was a great experience. She made sure he had plenty of playtime and walks. She kept us updated with pictures throughout his stay, which gave us peace of mind. We highly recommend her. Thanks so much, Blake! 😊
Jay was an exceptional sitter. The perfect amount of updates, communication, and incredible care of our dog while we were out of the country. Truly treated our pup like he was their own and part of the family! We felt so lucky to have our dog watched by them, and can’t wait to use Jay again!
My pet care fell through while I was out of town, but Jaden was incredibly accommodating and took amazing care of my pups. He was communicative, provided regular updates, and made sure they were happy and comfortable. I really appreciated his flexibility, kindness, and extra support during a stressful situation. Highly recommend!
Maren was excellent! She took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup and could tell he was well loved and cared for. Highly recommend Maren — we’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Codi and Jeremy were so warm and welcoming and attentive to care details. They kept in contact with us during out stay with updates and cute pics. Our dogs got along great together and our Bella had a blast. So nice to not worry about your pup when you're away and she was nice and tired when she got home!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,181 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Golden. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Golden sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Golden landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Golden 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 Golden.
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.
You and your Golden 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.
