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!
“Irina did a wonderful job caring for our pup. We used the translation app so that we could communicate clearly. Her home is very clean and neat and there’s a nice area in the fenced back yard for pups to play.”
About: I have 36 continuous years of personal experience caring for, handling, and living with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds. Over nearly four decades, I have successfully managed everything from high-energy puppies to gentle senior dogs requiring special patience and medication schedules. My deep familiarity with canine behavior allows me to read a dog's body language quickly, keep environments calm, and handle unexpected situations with total confidence. I specialize in providing structured, loving care that makes dogs feel safe and relaxed right away. I work from home, which means pet care is seamlessly integrated into my entire day. Because I am always home, guest dogs are never left unattended for long periods. My daily routine is highly flexible, allowing for constant companionship, frequent potty breaks, and immediate attention whenever a dog needs it. I schedule regular play breaks in the yard and structured walks around the lake throughout the day, ensuring that your pet maintains a consistent routine that closely mirrors the comfort and attention they receive at their own home. Safety is my absolute highest priority. My home features a large, fully fenced, and secure backyard equipped with an extra-large doggie door, allowing dogs independent and seamless yard access. I have a very friendly, social 6-year-old Labrador who serves as an excellent playmate and co-host for guest dogs. To ensure a safe environment for everyone, I strictly host dogs that are fully potty-trained, non-destructive, and socialized. I also require a mandatory 15-minute meet-and-greet on neutral ground before booking to guarantee a perfect fit.
“Kristina was amazing! We had a half-day visit, before a bigger overnight visit, to allow a meet and greet with her and her pups. Very kind and welcoming for the whole thing, and such an ease to work with!”
“Sarah was awesome! It was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous - but I had no reason to be with Sarah! I knew he was in great hands and he had so much fun. Thanks again ☺️”
“Curtis has been watching our puppy for almost two months now regularly and does a wonderful job with him. Our puppy is more reserved with people but loves Curtis. He has made the effort to really get to know our dog and provide him with the type of attention and care he needs. Through his patient and thoughtful care he has clearly gained our shy puppy’s affections, which is the ultimate endorsement!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner and lover for years. I currently care for my Golden Retriever, who joined my family as a rehomed dog. Helping him adjust, build a routine, and thrive has given me excellent hands-on experience with patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding a dog's unique needs during transitions. Whether your dog is a gentle giant who just wants some affection or an energetic pup who needs to burn off steam, I know how to read their cues and provide a safe, comfortable environment. I treat every dog I watch with the same level of care and attention I give my own. I work in a hybrid environment, working from home 2 days per week. During the weekends my Golden Retriever and I go for long walks, easy runs or long hikes. Focus: Socialization, family environment, and supervision. My home in Lafayette is a welcoming, active, and safe environment. Any visiting dog will have the company of my friendly 3 year old Golden Retriever, who is great at making new dogs feel at ease. I also have two children in the house half the week, making this a wonderful, engaging environment for kid-friendly dogs who love family interaction. I maintain a supervised, structured environment to ensure all dogs feel secure, with plenty of space for both playtime and quiet rest.

“Jessica took great care of my puppy!!! She made sure he was comfortable with the other dogs, took him on walks, and gave him lots of love while he was there. Definitely recommend booking with her; your dog will be well taken care of!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of pets because I have a deep compassion for life of all kind. You can trust me with your animals as I am kind, reliable and trustworthy. I’m currently working part time and am available most days all day. My dad is retired and is available throughout the all days and loves animals just as much as I do! On the days that I do work, I am available before 2pm. Please reach out for my schedule on any given day! I have a fenced yard and provide a secure environment for your pets. I do not currently have any pets or children at my home so the house will be empty for me and your pet to play!
“Heather and her family exceeded my expectations! It was like leaving your children with family. They have such a warm and friendly environment and treat your pets as their own. Thank you so much!!”
“Lucy, Edward, Miso, Maui, and Matthias were wonderful caretakers of Georgie for the day. Lucy sent lots of photos and as a first-time daycare user, she walked me through the process of leaving Georgie with her. Lucy gave great feedback on how Georgie was doing during the day with the other dogs and humans. Lucy has the house set up for (and clear knowledge about) how to facilitate the dogs first interactions and how they navigated - play, eating, napping, indoor and outdoor activity - etc. throughout the day. Thank you, Lucy, we'll look forward to seeing you and the crew again soon.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lafayette
Charissa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for two days. She sent us multiple photos and updates throughout the day, which really put us at ease and kept us informed about how Patty was doing. Patty was also incredibly excited on the second day as soon as she realized we were pulling into Charissa’s driveway, which says a lot about how much she enjoyed her stay! We’ll definitely use Charissa’s services again when we need a dog sitter.
Kristina took amazing care of little Rumi! She walked me through how to introduce Rumi to her dogs Stella and Jenny to find out if they get along. Kristina also communicated very well, kept me in the loop throughout the day, and asked if Rumi could go to the grocery store before going. Thank you Kristina!
Patty had a wonderful day with Laurissa and her puppy, and she really enjoyed all the activities Laurissa planned for her. We’ll definitely use her daycare services again whenever we need them, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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 Lafayette 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.

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.
