“As always, amazing!! Our little Ziggy loves to stay with Jamie and her family. She's always so trustworthy that we can go have a great time and not worry about our pup.”
“We were traveling through Denver and had tickets for a concert at Red Rocks so needed someone to care for our Bernedoodle (Ursa) for the night. Because Ursa is pretty shy we needed someone who could give her attention yet give her the space she needed and Melinda was the perfect person to watch her. We were very comfortable leaving her with Melinda and appreciated receiving several updates throughout the night and the next morning. We highly recommend and will certainly ask Melinda to watch Ursa if we need someone to watch her the next time we’re in Denver for the night.”
“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!”
“Megan was very accommodating and stepped up to watch our high energy/maintenance dog with very short notice. She was great at communicating and sent pictures and videos of our dog during the stay. Randall was very well taken care of. Thanks again!”

“Kelly, her husband, and their dog Milo took great care of our dog Jake while we were gone for eight days. They did everything possible to make Jake feel comfortable (he is a nervous dog) and they treated him like family. I’m so thankful for their kindness and care.”
“Blu did an excellent job with our high-maintenance high-energy Aussie mix!! She was very nice, responsive, professional and took our dog on so many nice walks and hikes! She also sent multiple photos throughout the day and we always felt comfortable knowing our dog was being well taken care of. We would absolutely recommend Blu for any of your dog watching needs!”
“Steve and Susan were wonderful and welcomed Lucy into their home with love and enthusiasm. They sent almost daily photos and texts giving us such great peace of mind. Lucy had many walks and playtimes and was thrilled to have complete freedom in their large backyard. She also was included in their family time, cooking and hanging out, and was very happy. We highly recommend them!”
“This was my first experience with Rover and Zory & Kent are my absolute favorite people! They love dogs and my pups were treated like royalty. In fact, my dogs had so much fun I’m not sure they actually wanted to come home. 😃 They took such good care of my dogs and I received many pictures and videos while I was away that showed just how much fun my dogs were having. Zory & Kent are the absolute best!”
“This was our 2nd time using Kristen and she did a wonderful job! She provided regular updates and was flexible with us when our flight got delayed. Our dog Ripley got lots of exercise and attention from Kristen and her family and friends. Thanks again, Kristen!”
“Odin came home with huge smiles from his week with Steve and his family. Wr received photos and updates. He got daily walks and lots of cuddles. It is such a relief to know that while we are far away on a vacation our teddy bear of a dog was in such good hands and getting lots of love. Highly recommend Steve and his family for any dog sitting needs. We will definitely be using them again.”

“Jessica, Teryn, and their pup Shi were so welcoming to Gus! We had a last minute rush to find a sitter and they were incredibly flexible and accommodating. They clearly cared for Gus as if he was their own and we loved all of the photo updates. Shi is also so sweet and such a great playmate—Gus came home happy and tired from all of their playing. We would rebook with Jessica and Teryn anytime!”

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!
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!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Golden 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 Golden.
<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.
