“We are so happy that we found trustworthy dog sitters for Knox that he absolutely loves in Golden. We love Mitzi and Klifton. They are always our #1 choice.”
“The absolute best sitters took such good care of cat Mia and even gave us such a sweet incredibly thoughtful gift at the end of her stay :) - can’t recommend Sehwa and Adam more highly! Thank you so much again! You’ll for sure be our first ask anytime we ever need a sitter again :)”
“Barney absolutely loved his mini vacation at Megan’s. She sent a ton of pics throughout the day of Barney and Bos having a blast. Megan and her husband tired Barney out as he took a big nap once we got home. Megan is an excellent Rover choice and I would definitely recommend her to anyone in the Golden, Arvada, and Denver area in need of a caring and responsible dog sitter ?”
“Jamie took excellent care of my dogs while I traveled for work. They had plenty of attention, play and love. One of my dogs is blind, and she did a great job accommodating his needs. We will definitely repeat.”

Knowing my dog was in a great place where he was being cared for and loved helped me enjoy my vacation even more. Thanks for a wonderful experience! Will definitely use again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Golden
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!
We can’t thank Amy enough for watching our sweet Henry for the weekend! We live in the mountains, and it’s been hard to find a reliable sitter while away on trips - but Amy made sure Henry was in the best hands and he loved getting to play with other pups all weekend. He came home exhausted and happy!
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Golden on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 September 2026, there are 6,149 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.
