“Highly recommend! Mitzi was amazing with our dog, Teddy! She kept us updated with adorable photos and was super communicative the whole time. Teddy came home happy, relaxed, and totally worn out from all the playtime — clearly he had a great stay! We could tell he was well loved and cared for. We’re looking forward to booking with Mitzi again next time we travel.”
“This was Rocco's first stay with Paul & Delia. He adapted well and was very comfortable in their home. When I picked him up he was very happy to see me but I could tell he was well cared for and content. I received pictures while he stayed with them which was very nice to see he was enjoying himself. An added benefit to me is they live in my neighborhood which makes them very convenient. I will definitely use them again!”
“Tom was great with Jake. Jake is 13 years old with bad eyesight and hearing and really bad back legs. Tom was great taking care of Jake’s needs. We had lots of pictures with Jack looking like he owned the place. We’ll definitely use him again. Tracy”
“Rochelle and Ben are great with our senior dog! They are so caring and help us to feel comfortable leaving our Aussie mix there. We’d recommend them to anyone looking!”
“This was our first experience with Rover, and Janet was so helpful, responsive, and take great care of Lennox. He had a great time with other dogs, and we got updates along the way! Thank you Janet for taking such great care of our guy!!”
“Mike was super easy to work with and my dog got along with his dogs well. He took great care of Pizza with frequent walks and updates. I’d love to use Mike again!”
“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!”
“Zory and Kent took such great care of April! Their backyard is setup so well for playing and sniffing and she got out for lots of walks too. It felt like a little summer camp visit for my dog when she couldn’t come with us on vacation, hope we’ll be able to book with them again!”
“Bear loved his time with Joel and his family! Had SO much fun playing with their pup. They were super communicative and helpful. Absolutely would love to book them again if needed!”
“This was the second time Curtis and his wife took care of our dog, Bono, and once again they were amazing. They treated him like their own and gave us complete peace of mind over the holidays. We came back to a happy, relaxed dog. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust them again.”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of our pups! They are worn out!❤️ And they smell so good! Thank you for bathing them, too! We are looking forward to having you watch them again!❤️”
“Angie was wonderful watching my dog Phoenix for over a week. She sent pictures and updates daily. And was very helpful and accommodating in a last minute drop off change. Thank you and Nola for watching Phoenix and taking such great care of her!”
“Emily is awesome. We've had our dog with her twice and he loves going there. He's made buddies with her sweet dog, Lemon, and Emily takes such great care of him. I am so comfortable leaving Marty with her and Hector!”
“Kristy was great to work with and our dog was well cared for. She sent regular updates and photos which we really appreciated! Would definitely book them again.”
“High praise for Nicole, Craig and family! Our Cozmo's first stay with this lovely family was a great success. He's kind of a homebody and mostly just wants to be near his humans, but he settled in very quickly. In fact, it almost seemed like he wanted to stay longer when we arrived to pick him up. We appreciated Nicole's excellent communication and flexibility with our schedule. We will definitely return. Thank you so much!”
“Dana and family could not have been more attentive, communicative and sweet with our pup, who unfortunately had some tummy trouble during her stay. Dana helped get her appetite back on track and let us know what was happening almost daily. It is fitting that this was over Thanksgiving, as we are very grateful for her care!”
“Kimber was amazing! She provided so many welcome updates and truly loves dogs. She had our puppy Penny for the weekend and it sounded like they had a blast together. I appreciated all the updates we got throughout the weekend, thanks so much Kimber!”
“I booked Jennifer’s onboarding service for my pups over July 4th weekend and the overall experience was wonderful. The meet and greet was held at her house which I appreciated because I wanted to make sure my pups would feel comfortable. Jennifer was mindful and attentive to my pups needs and gave updates whether it’s a message or picture! Our dogs got along and I could tell my pups had a fun time!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Golden
Daniel did amazing with our boys. He sent daily pic updates, and I loved that he made sure they were getting their daily exercise. Lambeau is a little skittish around new people, and we received a picture of him smiling and getting his belly rubbed. One of our boys started getting sick the last day, and he was extremely responsive and was willing to take him to the vet if things worsened. Both boys are still snoozing the next day, so I can tell they had fun. Daniel was super quick to set up a meet in greet and had read through their care instructions (I could tell by the questions he asked). Highly recommend if you want someone reliable and responsible. With Daniel, I 100% trust they were in good hands.
Ryan exceeded all of our expectations! This was the first time we booked through Rover and was impressed with our experience from start to finish. He was timely with his initial booking communication and prompt with his arrival time. From the beginning, our three pups were at ease with him. He sent numerous pictures and updates to us throughout the evening, which helped me see how much they were enjoying Ryan’s company. As out of town guests, he made some accommodations for us that made it easy for our pups to feel right at home. You would be so lucky to book Ryan for your next adventure or short evening away. Highly recommend!
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!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Golden is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $72 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.

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 Golden 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Golden. 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 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.
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.
