“Victoria did a great job on our puppy! She’s very nice and friendly, also takes care of the puppy well even tho she has puppy energy and goes crazy most of the time. I’m pretty sure our pup misses the time she was at the sitter home with Victoria, her son and her dog. With such a good care, we highly recommended.”
“Tom took great care of my reactive dog and made sure he got lots of attention and exercise! He always responded quickly, followed instructions/ requests, and he sent lots of pictures during the stay.”
“Danielle is the best. Second time we've used her services and were gone for two weeks. She took great care of our baby girl and treated her like her own. We're hooked and know we always have a home away for home for our pup whenever we go away.”
“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”
“Kristi was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for our dog. She was extremely responsive in coordinating a meet and greet and helped me feel assured our dog - who can be quite skittish at times - would be well taken care of while we were away (which is an understatement - Bailey was absolutely loved on). She sent us daily pictures and videos, too. You can just tell Kristi has a huge heart for all pups she watches, and we can’t wait to work with her again!”
“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!”
“Thank you for taking good care of Kiya, Angie, when you boarded her at your house! I can tell she really enjoyed her time with you and your pup Nola. I appreciated the pictures that you sent to use so we could see she was okay. Also, it was great that you took her for walks and a trip to the dog park. Kiya is super happy after we just picked her up and I think it's a testament to the care and company she had.”
“I felt like my dog Ziggy was in great hands with Kaitlyn! She sent lots of photos, videos, and updates and it was such a relief to get those consistently.”
“Kari did a great job watching our dog. She communicated with us daily and sent pictures every morning. Our dog seemed happy when we picked her up. Overall, a great experience.”
“This was our 3rd stay with Nicole, Craig, and family. This stay was different for us in that we were out of the country for almost two weeks! I was certainly uneasy leaving my precious pups for so long, but I am so thankful and grateful for Nicole, Craig, and their boys. They treat our two Shiba Inus as party of the family, as if they were there own. Everything went swimmingly, which allowed my husband to really enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our pups. Thank you so much Nicole and Craig! We'll see you again soon!”
“Margaret made me feel comfortable from the start. She listened to Bardi’s schedule/quirks and made me feel at ease with her relaxed responses. She sent so many pictures and gave regular updates. I felt comfortable the entire time and Bardi had a great time.”
“My dog’s second stay with Analisa & her family and it was so clear upon drop off that he was thrilled to be back! Such a relief to leave him somewhere he CLEARLY wanted to be for a longer stay. As always, great communication and I returned to a happy, well looked after dog :)”
“This was my 4th time booking with Delia and Paul - Barney always has a great time with their pups and comes home tuckered out after weekends full of play. Delia and Paul are my go to Rovers for Barney as I can always trust and depend on them!”
“Leslie and family were amazing! She provided frequent updates with pictures to let me know how my little guy was doing which was very much appreciated. My dog also requires meds and she let me know each day how he did with taking them. He looked really happy and like he was having a good time in the pictures. Would definitely recommend.”
“Wonderful sitters!! They took fabulous care of my dog who was recovering after an injury and it was so comforting to know she was in great hands. Very communicative and reliable. Thank you!”
“Alex took great care of Zoey and was very flexible with last minute plans on coordinating a meet up first and extending Zoey’s stay a few extra days. He was also very receptive to adapting his home and routine to accommodate Zoey’s needs. We’ll definitely have Zoey stay with Alex again in the future.”
“Kaylee is AMAZING! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog over a long weekend! She did so many different activities with him and sent us multiple pictures and updates every day! We cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of our dog! We highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her again in the future!!”

Pet 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!
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!

There are 6,256 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Golden. About 90% of Golden sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
