“Brooke took great care of my five-month-old puppy during her first ever Rover visit. She was thoughtful about introducing her to the other dogs and kept me updated with photos and videos so I could see what a great time she was having. Looking forward to Sophie’s next visit with Brooke & Nathan!”
“Melody was sweet to our pups! She gave them treats throughout the day, cuddled with them, and took them on a walk! She gave us frequent updates which I appreciate and loved to see!”
“My Vizsla was immediately at ease with Sarah and Darren. So comforting to know she was in loving hands. Will definitely book again!! Thanks, Sarah and Darren !!”
“Frank was great to work with. We were driving through Denver on our way to visit family and decided to stop and see a Rockies game. It was wonderful to have somewhere to leave our dog. 126 repeat customers was a pretty good reference! Frank did a great job and sent a photo during the game. He took Aggie for a walk too. I would use him again when I pass through Denver.”
“Kris was completely amazing, flexible and friendly. She sent pics of my dog Miley and kept me posted about everything. Miley takes time to warm up with other dogs but I was so happy to hear she was playing with the other doggie guests right away. Next day my dog was very sleepy which means she was pooped from her time at Kris’s house.”

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.

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. Recognizing the challenges of being separated from your cherished companion, effective communication becomes paramount.

“Denise is a special Dog Sitter. So friendly, inviting and caring, we immediately knew our dogs would be in good hands. The family environment, the large backyard, the great communication… all these elements are what we’ve been looking for for a dog sitter. Thanks, Denise and I know our pups will be thrilled to come and join you again.”
“Very comfortable and welcoming home. My girls are typically very timid going to new places, they were so at ease in Angela’s home. We will definitely come back!!”
About: Hi, I’m Jordan! I’ve cared for dogs big and small since I was a teen helping neighbors with their pets. These days, our family includes one dog, one cat, and a few chickens. We’ve also raised Schipperkes, a lively small breed, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. Your dog will be part of our daily routine — joining us for walks on nearby trails, playtime in the yard, and plenty of attention. I know how much peace of mind it brings to know your pet is in good hands, and I treat every guest like one of our own. My spouse and I both work from home, so we have someone home nearly 24/7 to provide care for your pet. We take daily walks on our local trails with our dog and family, and have couch hangout time in the evening. Your pup will be part of the family while they join us here! Our home has a large, fully fenced yard with plenty of grass to run and play. Inside, we can easily gate off areas of our split-level house if pets need space away from kids or our cat. Our small dog, Kona, loves having company and playtime with new friends. We’re happy to adjust routines or spaces to match your pet’s needs so they feel comfortable and safe while staying with us.
“Debra did a great job taking care of my senior dog Lucy she is very kind and loves animals and.She will be watching her again while I'm out of town for a week would definitely recommend”
About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I grew up with dogs, volunteered at a horse rescue ranch, and have experienced cat-sitting. I work part-time from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can provide plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Outdoor time, walks, and fun. I will strictly follow the instructions provided by the pet parent. For dogs, they are welcome to enjoy social time with my dog in a large fenced backyard. For dogs or cats in your home, I'm safe, reliable, and respectful.

My doggo loves hanging out with Trevin and his fur babies. He’s always happy and tired when I pick him up. Trevin sends photos and updates (when it’s appropriate), has a lovely fenced yard, and is a knowledgeable and friendly dogsitter. Thanks for taking such good care of Ham!
Brooke and Nathan are great and my first choice of where to day care my dog, Penelope. I feel so much better leaving her with them than the doggy day care facilities I looked in to. Every time I pick her up she doesn’t want to leave she loves it so much. She’s also always tired when we get home. Plus they are in a great area which made me feel better about everything.
Mélody is an amazing and caring dog sitter. She will make sure your pup is well taken care of, whether that’s making sure the pupper get enough exercise to making sure they’re not left alone if they have separation anxiety. She genuinely cares for the dogs she watches and it shows with how happy the dogs are to be there.
Jessica was absolutely amazing with Eila! Eila spent a lot of time outdoors and played really well with her dog too :) She came home very tired at night too which was definitely a perk. She sent lots of photos throughout the day and we really felt that she was in great hands! She was also very flexible and accommodating with our busy and unpredictable schedules. Would definitely use her services again :)
My dogs love it at Denise's! When I drop them off they get excited before I even turn on her street! Denise takes them on a walk (or two!) and the backyard has plenty of room to roam. Denise sends pics and videos and is responsive to inquiries. We're regulars!

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.
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.
