“Ryan was absolutely great with Apollo! This was my first time leaving him, so I was a bit nervous, but Ryan really helped put me at ease. He kept me updated and made sure Apollo was comfortable and happy. Apollo had such a great time—he came home tired and content, and pretty much slept the whole next day! I’d definitely trust Ryan to watch him again. Highly recommend!”
“Really there are no words. I came nervous, not knowing what to expect and left with a very happy and relaxed dog, no anxiety at all. I am so grateful they were able to host as I was visiting from out of town and my visit was somewhat last minute. Thank you again!”

“We were SO happy with the love and care given to Brewski by Nichole and Chris and their family while we were away for 5 days! And super friendly and helpful during the drop-off and pickup, too. We enjoyed seeing several pictures daily, and we would definitely ask for these folks again - Rover.com is great!”
“Danielle and Jackson boarded my kitty for a few days and they were the best! They took such great care of her and made her feel at home, which is not an easy task because my kitty is very nervous. They are awesome communicators, sent lots of photos and videos and updates! Highly recommend them!”

Each moment spent with your canine companion; I hold steadfast to this ethos. Recognizing the profound significance of dogs in our lives, it becomes my mission to replicate the familiar warmth and attention they receive at home.

With over 20 years of experience in dog training, working with animal shelters, and training therapy dogs, my expertise spans a wide spectrum. I've had the privilege of working with countless dogs, and each moment has been invaluable to me. From the tiniest pups to the largest breeds, I've embraced every opportunity to care for them and understand their unique communication styles. When embarking on a new client relationship, I prefer to arrange a meet-and-greet session. This serves as a vital compatibility check, ensuring harmony between all parties involved. Moreover, it offers an invaluable opportunity for us to discuss your dog and your specific care preferences face-to-face. Nobody understands your furry friend better than you do, and engaging directly with owners helps me glean insights into what makes their pup truly happy! Additionally, I relish the chance to meet new dogs, and I make it a point to interact with them at their level, establishing a rapport that promises fast friendship.

From training to cuddles, my care is tailored to ensure their well-being and happiness.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Highlands Ranch
Diana and her family were fantastic! They sent us messages and photos and took River out for walks and gave her lots and lots of loving! We used them twice and will definitely use them again when we need a sitter!!! Thank you all so much for taking great care of our girl!
Kris and her family did a great job watching our Cashew for a week! She was very quick to respond to my initial inquiry and all other communications. Since it was a longer stay, we set up a short meet and greet between all the dogs. Her dogs were friendly and social. Kris sent daily updates and pictures. Her granddaughter is a great and caring helper with the dogs. Cashew had a great time and we’ll be booking again!
We had such a wonderful experience with Danielle & Jackson ❤️ From the beginning, the communication was amazing, and we felt completely comfortable leaving our little boy Flash in their care. We loved receiving regular updates, pictures, and sweet messages throughout his stay. It was so heartwarming to see Flash enjoying his walks, playtime, sunbathing, and of course, his daily apple treat! 😆🍎 Most importantly, he was genuinely loved, cared for, and treated like family. As pet parents, leaving your fur baby with someone else isn’t always easy, but they made the entire experience so reassuring and stress-free for us. We are truly grateful and would happily trust them with Flash again. Highly recommend! ❤️
Luiza is friendly and accommodating. She kept Millie while we were away for Fall break. Our pup had a couple of issues arise, but she was quick to adjust and communicate with me about my preferences. She sent regular updates and pictures and we would absolutely use her again. Thank you, Luiza and family for treating our pup like your own!
Shelby was absolutely wonderful with my Doxie princess! Hilde was instantly comfortable and made friends with the family's dogs, and judging from pics - had a great time with her temporary family. Will definitely return when the need arises, and would recommend to others as well. 😊
Arielle and her family did a terrific job taking care of Rocky. We had a meet and greet to ensure the dogs got along. This went well and I left Rocky with them for 9 days. The night I dropped him off I was getting pictures and updates that he was settling in. All week I received pictures and updates letting me know how he was doing and what he was up to. I was able to enjoy my time away as I knew he was being taken care of and in good hands. I would highly recommend Arielle and will use her again myself. She provided me with peace of mind. Thank you!
Michael and his wife took such good care of my dog Luna! We are repeat clients, but Murphy’s Law meant that Luna had to get stitches on her cheek two days before we were scheduled to leave for a week, but Michael was understanding and accommodating of the situation (and the associated e-collar that I’m sure she banged into every corner of the house). Stitches looked great when we picked her up and she was exhausted from being part of the household for a full week. Thanks for the great care!

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 Highlands Ranch 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 Highlands Ranch 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 Highlands Ranch.
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.

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.
