“We were so happy to have Clover stay with Daniel last minute. He did a great job communicating and had an organized process for letting the dogs meet and get used to each other. I can tell she's had fun. We'll definitely call him next time we're in town.”
“Sharon was awesome! She made sure Opal was comfortable during the day and took her on plenty of walks. When I came to pick her up she told me how her day was and gave me some tips for working on training with her.”
“Julia is AMAZING!!! We have boarded our dogs with her, as well as dropped them off for doggy daycare. She has a clean, secure yard and we never worried about our dogs getting out. She communicates frequently and sends photos of the pups playing. Our dog Echo loves Julia's dog Abby and gets so excited to see her! I also appreciate that Julia does a meet and greet with any new animal to make sure everyone is comfortable! 10/10 would recommend!!!”
“Phebe was awesome! Very communicative and professional. She spoke our dog, Sage’s, love language- treats😊 and sent a bunch of photos which we love! She also helped Sage relax with lavender oil on her nose as she is an anxious dog. Such a sweet thing to do! Appreciate the love and care, thank you!”
“Eleshia was everything we could hope for and more! She took great care of our small dog, was flexible on timing, and offered up stellar recommendations for what to do in the area. 10 stars if I could give them!”
“Our first time using Rover….. and we loved Catherine! She was great with communication leading up to the visit and was prompt with picking up and delivering our Olive. She’s had some other small dogs that Olive played with throughout the day, and she was delivered back happy and exhausted. We are tent camping and she took her self to bed way before the night was over! We will definitely be using Catherine again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I’ve always had a pet of my own until early 2026 when my senior dog had passed, however I do have a history of working at a veterinary hospital. I understand that every animal has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what makes each pet feel safe and happy. I’m dependable, responsible, and attentive to details. My goal is not only to care for pets while their owners are away, but to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and treated like family. I’m currently working part-time and looking for the opportunity to still stay active and enjoy my free time. I have a very open schedule and I’m committed to following each owner’s instructions and making sure their pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for while they are away. The safety and well-being of every pet in my care is my top priority. I believe trust is built through reliability, communication, and treating each pet with patience and respect. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, pay attention to each pet’s individual needs, and keep owners updated so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Apollo had a great time with Lori and Tucker! Tucker was the perfect friend for Apollo. Lori was great at listening to Apollo’s needs and working with me to fit my schedule.”
“So far we've had 1 Daycare visit before we do 4 nights, and it went great! I was very impressed with the communication I received. My dog was so tired when she got home, so I know she had lots of fun! Looking forward to bringing her back!”
“Ashley took a great care of Bolt while I was attending a concert in Grand Junction! He got along with the kids and their dog Molly pretty well, and they played a lot in the yard. Ashley made sure they're fed separately as I requested, and provided regular updates with photos. Highly recommended and will definitely visit again.”
About: During my time as a K9 Military Police Officer in the Army I was responsible for 24 hour care for our canine partners. I use that professional training to provide expert care to family pets both in my home or in my spacious indoor kennel options. I aim to provide peace of mind for the owner and a vacation for the pet. I have experience with all ages of dogs/cats from newborns to senior requiring specific timely routines and cares. I ask that the owner provide the preferred food to prevent any stomach issues, but we of course clean any accidents without cost to the owner. Our property is completely fenced, and we offer both a traditional front yard as well as an open one acre pasture to fully run out their energy. We provide some basic toys and treats, but are happy to keep with your play routines if you bring on over your pet's preferred toys. If your companion prefers walking to free play we are happy to accommodate daily with no additional cost. We also take pictures and sometimes videos during your pet's stay so you can have the peace of mind knowing they're having a great time. I operate a dog boarding and training business from home full time so your companion will only be home alone (secured in a run, suite, or kennel) for short periods of time due to normal errand runs. We offer round the clock care including overnights should your companion need extra care at no additional cost. If you live within 30 miles of us we will pick up your companion at no additional cost. We ask owners provide enough time to properly convey their unique needs including routines, update requests, pet comforts, etc. We have secure separate spaces both within the home itself as well as the indoor kennel option and the two fenced yards.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10, I have watched all sorts of dogs, from family to friends to coworkers, and neighbors even:) I’m currently working for a second job but I always make sure that my animal care come first, I try to reason with my clients if change happens. I always try to make sure my dogs and cats stay occupied with toys and treats and walks making sure that they are always fed 2 time a day
“Suzanne and Dan are wonderful people. I had no hesitation in leaving Bella with them. They immediately made Bella and I feel comfortable in their home during our meet and greet and then when we returned for Bella's first stay. Bella was so relaxed and cuddly when I picked her up at the end of the day. I know she had been relaxed during her stay and well cared for. It's such a blessing to find someone I feel confident will take good care of my baby. I'm very grateful to have found Suzanne and Dan!”
About: I am a stay at home mom with the time to care for your pup as well as mine. Our kids and dog love to play with other dogs. We often take walks in the neighborhood and play fetch in the backyard. I'd be happy to have your dog join us! There is a good amount of lounging on the couch as well! My schedule is flexible and I can accommodate your pups needs. My kids are in middle and high school so we work around the school district schedule. I have a fenced yard in a great neighborhood. My pup will keep your pup entertained. I can crate your dog if needed during the day or at night.
About: Lifelong pet lover offering reliable sitting and walking services for all kinds of animals. Having raised dogs and cats since childhood, I know what it takes to keep your pets happy and safe. Let me provide the trustworthy care and peace of mind you and your pets deserve! Flexible Schedule: I work part-time, giving me wide-open availability. Mid-Day Walks: Perfect for pups who need a break while you are at work. Extra Playtime: Plenty of hours dedicated to keeping your pets active and happy. I generally like to work at or out of the pup's home; this way, there are fewer new factors to overwhelm your dog. How I care for a pet depends on their personality and needs. I can comfortably work and play with high-energy pups, mellow dogs, and everything in between.
About: I have two spoiled Senior dogs and one indoor/outdoor unbothered kitty. One of our dog loves to play if yours is up for it. I work from home, your pup will have plenty of company, lots of love, and full access to our fully fenced backyard complete with doggy doors to be in and out of the house throughout the day. At night, your dog will have their own cozy kennel to sleep in, and I encourage bringing a favorite blanket or toy to help them feel comfortable at night. Your dog will also get regular walks and plenty of pat pats. Works from home, your pup will have plenty of company, lots of love, and free access to our fenced backyard and the house throughout the day. My husband and I have two spoiled senior dogs and know how important it is to find someone you trust. At night, each dog has their own cozy kennel to sleep in, and I encourage bringing a favorite blanket or toy to help them feel at home. Also, if your dog doesn’t exactly get along with other dogs, that’s okay, my dogs will go to their aunties house. I want whats best and safe.
“Paulette and Charlie were wonderful hosts and were very attentive. They have plenty of room for dogs to run in their very large backyard. Our Bode and their dog Molly hit it off instantly and played well together. Bode had a great time. We’re already planning our next trip(s) to the western slope. We’ll definitely be booking with Paulette and Charlie again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Grand Junction
Eleshia was welcoming and her calm presence was reassuring. My dog Shilo and I are rarely separated so he was understandably a little concerned when i left him. I had the impression that Eleshia helped him feel safe and soothed his worries, and gave him the attentive presence he needed to relax. It was super helpful to know that he was in good hands while I was dealing with appointments. I would definately feel comfortable leaving Shilo in her care again!
What a great service, Ricky was a pleasure to have watch my pup. He was sending me pictures of where the dog will sleep and during the stay. I had a great piece of mind cause my dog has some separation anxiety, but Ricky was patient and helped ease Bobby with lots of walks to the dog parks in the area. Over all Ricky was a pleasure to work with and my dog had a paw-some time. Would definitely book again in the future!!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Grand Junction commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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 dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 63 sitters in Grand Junction, 96% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
