“Christine took great care of our high energy dog! She was communicative, reliable, and even sent pictures of our pup during his stay! They went on long walks and my dog seemed very happy. I would certainly trust Christine to watch my dog again in the future.”
“Alex was great! Very friendly and quick to reply. He was flexible with our travels, as well. Phife was excited to see him when we dropped him off, and seemed pretty worn after his stay - always good signs! We would definitely use him again.”
“Fred and Kim have the perfect home away from home for your pup. They took Bailey on several walks a day, she had a comfortable bed to sleep in and plenty of space to move around the house and garden. They sent daily photos and updates, and were super friendly and accommodating. We'll be booking again!”
“Emily was absolutely amazing with Zola! I got a lot of photo updates and reassurance that she was well taken care of while I was away! I will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her. Zola came home in a very good mood.”
“Our 10-year-old English setter stayed with Sarah for two whole weeks, and our boy came home healthy, happy and simply relieved to see us - no extra stress or issues from it at all, which can happen with sensitive dogs. We take this as testament to Sarah's care: he was playfully engaged, respectfully rested, kept on routine - the key things he needs to be comfortable when away from his family. We don't like to spend so much time away from home and our boy but feel much relieved knowing that he can stay under Sarah's excellent care.”
“Irina was wonderful! Communication was excellent, she was flexible on schedules, and Otto looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent! We will definitely be booking with her again in the future, our little guy was very well taken care of.”
“Great booking with Ryan and his wife. Got great updates and pictures. They have the perfect set up for dog sitting with a great yard, plenty of gates for separation, if needed, and gentle, but playful hosts.”
“Charissa was a wonderful home-away-from-home for Harper. She sent me updates and pictures throughout each day which was so appreciated, I had total peace of mind and knew that Harper was getting excellent care. Thank you Charissa!”
“Elise and Matthew took such great care of our dog while we were away. It’s so comforting to have kind, reliable, trustworthy people to rely on for our dog when we are gone. Thank you both!”
About: I have worked with old dogs, puppies, trained 2 puppies and some older dogs. I have also worked with a variety of animals like highland cows and reptiles! I have also have had my own dogs and currently have a cat! On weekends I am available pretty much all day! Usually the first Saturday of each month I have my quilt guild and ever other Sunday I nanny for 4 hours. Outside of that I shouldn’t have any other plans with enough advance notice! (I like to plan out my month a month prior) during the week I currently have an am job 3 days/week with some separation to hang out with the dogs in the middle of the day before heading to my pm job. I will watch your animals in your home to make sure that they are as comfortable as possible while you are out of town. I also like to spend the majority of a meet and greet interacting with your animals so that they get as comfortable as possible with me before you head out of town.
“Elizabeth watched our 2 dogs for a week and a half while we were on vacation. She sent me pictures and/or videos daily and was very quick to respond to all communications. My old boy is super easy but my young female dog can be a handful and has hit the phase where she feels the need to challenge other female dogs, so I was a little nervous since one of Elizabeth's dogs is female. She and her partner reassured me that they would keep them separate if needed, would never leave them home alone in the same room, and would control their interactions until they became more comfortable with each other. I'm so grateful that they watched my dogs because after a few days, I was getting pictures/videos of our girls playing and laying together which gave me hope for my little wild one's future interactions with other females! Thanks for doing such a great job with my babies!”
“My girls had a BLAST at Robyn’s house! Robyn is very kind and loving to my dogs, her dog was also very friendly and playful. I was able to leave for the weekend without worrying about my girls because I knew they were in good hands. They got to learn a new skill of using a doggy door ! And got to enjoy a spacious and safe fenced in backyard while I was away. We will definitely book with Robyn again”
“Lindsey and Robert were amazing! They were so sweet and genuine when we met them and we felt at ease very quickly with leaving Koda with there while we were on vacation. When we picked him up a week later, it looked like he really felt like home there. He made best friends with their dog Mochi who is the sweetest little playmate. They sent us photos and updates daily and really made us feel at ease. We couldn't be happier with the experience and we'll definitely be using them again any time we leave town!”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, growing up with many different dogs and cats. As an adult, I have raised and cared for three incredible dogs of my own, giving me a deep, firsthand understanding of the daily dedication, patience, and love it takes to keep a pet thriving.My background also includes professional pet care experience. Years back, I owned and operated my own successful dog walking business, managing schedules, building trust with clients, and ensuring the safety of dogs of all shapes and sizes. Additionally, I studied to become a professional dog trainer, which gave me a strong foundation in canine behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement techniques.Whether your pup needs a structured routine, a calm environment to relax, or a sitter who truly understands how to read and manage their unique personality, they will be in expert, experienced hands. Because I tailor my home environment exclusively to hypoallergenic and low-shedding breeds, your dog will enjoy a clean, dander-free space filled with personalized attention! As a stay-at-home parent, my schedule is incredibly flexible, and I am home throughout the day. While one of my children attends public school, I homeschool my other child right here from the comfort of our house. This means our daily routine naturally revolves around being home, making it easy to provide constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship for your dog.We already have one friendly dog of our own, so a structured pet routine is already built into our lifestyle. Your pup will seamlessly blend into our daily rhythm of neighborhood walks, playtime, and relaxing by my side while we go about our day. Because I am always around, your dog will rarely be left alone and will receive attentive, round-the-clock care! I focus exclusively on hosting hypoallergenic pets inside my own home, where I can provide a safe, comfortable, and highly attentive environment. Because my family is home throughout the day, guest dogs enjoy a structured routine tailored to their specific comfort levels, baseline habits, and energy needs. Our home features a beautiful, big backyard equipped with a secure dog door. This setup allows your pup the freedom to safely pop outside for a quick sunbathe, a sniff around, or a bathroom break whenever they please, while still enjoying total access to a cozy, indoor space. Whether they love zooming around the grass, playing with our friendly resident dog, or just curling up next to me while we homeschool, your dog will be treated exactly like a member of our own family!
“Nova can be nervous with first time sitters, but Nova seemed to really thrive and enjoy Glee's calm (yet fun) energy. Her place had a great setup for dogs, and it's in such a great location (big park aka doggie paradise). Glee was very responsive, and has a wealth of experience with dogs - which meant I could truly relax and not worry! Would definitely love for Nova to stay with her in the future, and would recommend her highly.”
“My older dog Santo did well with Jacqueline's gentle care. She understood his limitations, especially regarding heat. He had plenty of toys, and was able to play with her well behaved dogs. Jacqueline runs a tight ship, which I appreciate.”

I can't say enough about how great Caroline was watching Tucker for us. She was very responsive and so easy to coordinate with. Tucker had the best time with her and her extremely friendly dog Athena. As a bonus, she's right on all of the best dog walking trails in Boulder. We'll definitely be using her again in the future!
Brooke was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely loves dogs, and Scout took to her immediately. Throughout the stay, she provided thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and gave me complete peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. She treated Scout like he was her own, paying attention to his routine, making sure he got plenty of exercise, affection, and personalized care. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything about the quality of care she provided. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for the very best care for their pet. Thank you, Brooke!

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Gunbarrel can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Gunbarrel 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 Gunbarrel.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gunbarrel. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Gunbarrel 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
