“Kristi was incredibly attentive to our dog, Louie, and we couldn’t have been happier. From the initial meet-and-greet to her thoughtful limit on the number of dogs she hosts, we felt he’d get plenty of attention. Her steady communication—check-ins, videos, and photos—put our hearts at ease knowing he was safe and having fun. Louie came home healthy, relaxed, and happy. Highly recommend!”

“Tabea took such wonderful care of Bonsai. Bonsai is a sweet, curious puppy, but she can be cautious in new environments and thrives with routine, patience, positive engagement, and lots of affection. Tabea really understood that and gave her exactly what she needed to feel comfortable. Tabea, her family, and their home were such a great environment for Bonsai. She got plenty of affection, play, and engagement while still having the routine and structure that help her feel secure. It was very clear when I picked her up that she had been happy, well cared for, and had genuinely enjoyed her time there. I’m very particular about who I trust with Bonsai, and I felt completely comfortable having her with Tabea and her family. We will absolutely be back.”

She almost seemed sad when we brought her home. Nicole and Craig were very responsive and attentive to our pup. We will 100% be booking with them again in the future”

“Emily and her partner were absolutely amazing with Harvest while I was away on a business trip! I received regular daily updates with tons of photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. Harvest and their dog Dale also got along great and had a blast together. They took excellent care of Harvest, including tending to a small sore on his foot and kept me well informed. To top it off, she was incredibly understanding and accommodating when my flight home got delayed. I highly recommend them and will 100% have them watch Harvest again! 🩷”

About: Hi! I’m Bri, and caring for animals has been one of the biggest passions of my life for over 11 years. While many people love animals, I’ve built my life around caring for them—whether that’s through rescue work, training, or providing a safe and loving home. For six years, I co-ran a small animal rescue, helping countless dogs and cats find loving families. I’ve worked with animals of all personalities—from shy and fearful rescues to energetic puppies and senior pets needing a little extra patience and compassion. I also cared for animals on our 13-acre farm, where I looked after horses, chickens, dogs, and cats. That experience taught me responsibility, adaptability, and how to recognize an animal’s needs before they become problems. I have experience training small and medium-sized dogs using positive reinforcement, and I genuinely enjoy helping pets build confidence and good manners. Outside of animal care, I’m a registered nurse with a background in orthopedic and trauma nursing. My nursing career has strengthened my attention to detail, ability to stay calm in emergencies, and commitment to providing compassionate care—qualities that naturally carry over into caring for your pets. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, medication, cuddles on the couch, or simply someone who understands that every animal is unique, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I know how hard it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so my goal is always to give you peace of mind through excellent communication, reliability, and lots of photos and updates while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! As a stay-at-home mom to one little boy, I have a flexible schedule with plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the day. My routine allows me to be dependable, attentive, and responsive to each pet’s individual needs, so they’ll receive the love and care they deserve while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and any special needs before each visit. I share my home with two friendly cats and spend much of my day caring for and interacting with animals. While my front yard is unfenced, all dogs are kept securely leashed outdoors. I provide daily walks of 30 minutes or more, often at a nearby park, along with plenty of playtime, enrichment, affection, fresh water, and potty breaks. When caring for pets in your home, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel safe and relaxed. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

We will definitely be using Alex again. Thank you!”

“We were so lucky to have Christine watch our pup while we were gone 12 days!! He was lovingly welcomed and seemed to become one of the family while we were away. We loved getting pictures and updates each day—it allowed us to rest easy and enjoy our time away without worry. He was well-exercised and well-loved everyday! Christine and her family are wonderful caregivers and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a home-away-from-home for their loved ones!”

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!

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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.
