“Kelly was incredible! She even sent me pictures of Charlie while she was looking after him. She really calmed me down about leaving him at a new place, because after talking with her for 5 minutes, you realize how much she truly cares about what she does, and for the animals she looks after. Quite frankly, I'd stay there if I could; her backyard was gorgeous and allowed for the pups to play and run together in a safe environment. If I ever need anyone again, she's the only one I'll call!”
“Wonderfully friendly couple. We were very pleased with how they cared for our mini Schnauzers. Excellent communication, plenty of updates, and didn’t hesitate to ask if they weren’t sure about our care instructions. Clean home, nice little yard. We will book them for overnight stays in the future!”
About: I cared for a senior dog for two years with cancer, administering daily medication and making her comfortable. Currently, I have my own 1 year old German shepherd, working on training and getting lots of exercise. Lastly, I grew up with cats, so comfortable with both animals. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule, changing from week to week. Usually very open in afternoons. Free on Saturdays and Sundays. I treat every pet like they are my own! I want the best for my animals and want the same for all. They will be in great hands with me.
“We just moved to the area a month ago, which means having to start from scratch in finding care for our dog Cali. We were so lucky to have found Ashanti, she was incredible. From the get go she was flexible on drop off and pick up times, along with very communicative. She made our Cali feel right at home and sent updates every day on Cali as well. We so appreciated her care and flexibility, she was very dependable and trustworthy. We highly recommend her to care for your little fur babies! 🥰”
“Ryan and Lorien were the best sitters we’ve found in the nine years we’ve had Dany! We were so grateful for the daily updates and felt Dany was well taken care of. Ryan goes above and beyond to make sure you’re on the same page about care and is detail oriented. We would 10/10 recommend & hope to book again in the future!”
“Megan was a wonderful sitter for Diesel! I had complete faith in her with her experience and reputation over the years. He had a great time and I could tell he was stress free when he got home. She was flexible and sent photos / videos daily to make sure we were knew how he was doing. Thank you again - Julie”
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!
“Kimberly was great to work with. She took excellent care of our boy and sent us multiple pics and updates everyday. We are very comfortable entrusting Koda to her anytime we need to travel without him.”
“Yrnis and his family treated my cat super well for the 3 weeks that he was watching Finn. I was extremely last minute after a cancellation and needed somewhere to take my cat while I was home for winter break. Yrnis was incredibly nice and sent photos while I was on vacation and always kept me updated. I will definitely be using Yrnis again for any future trips!”
“Quick communication and flexible schedules that allowed us to leave our dog with them for longer than planned. We felt comfortable knowing our girl was being well taken care of.”
“Ben and Alesha took great care of Auggie, put up with his puppy energy and antics, and communicated daily with us! We were able to enjoy our trip knowing he was having fun and in great hands.”
“Anita took such good care of my pup while I was away! She was attentive and accommodating to his separation anxiety, it was such a relief to know he was in good hands. And I received lots of pictures and updates of him being loved on! I knew he felt safe and happy with her 🙏💕”
“I’m hesitant to leave a review of Emerson’s stay with Nicole because if I tell everyone how amazing and wonderful she is I will never be able to get a booking with her again! Ok, here it goes….. After our regular Rover moved we have been searching for a new regular sitter for Mr. Doodle and at last we have found her! If you are looking for a sitter that will treat your pet like family, communicate well, and make them so happy that they want to go back look no further! We will never look to anyone else if she is available and I recommend that you do the same!”
“Luna absolutely loved her stay with Heather and her family! Heather was excellent with communicating, sending photos, and showering our fur baby with love. It felt like Luna had her own vacation while we were away on ours. We will definitely use Heather again. Thank you, Heather!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Ellie this week while we went on vacation! Ellie is almost 14 years old and slowing down. I felt so comfortable leaving her with Michelle knowing Ellie would get lots of snuggles, walks, and attention.”
“Moriah took great care of Lewis while we were away for the holidays! Our dog isn’t good w other dogs and I appreciated her attentiveness to his need for space, her communication, and the many photo updates while we were away. Thanks Moriah!”
“This was my 4th time booking with Delia and Paul - Barney always has a great time with their pups and comes home tuckered out after weekends full of play. Delia and Paul are my go to Rovers for Barney as I can always trust and depend on them!”

Heather is an outstanding Rover sitter! Her communication is excellent and I received so many great-quality photos of Harper throughout her stay. Heather and her family gave Harper so much attention and multiple walks per day, and they have a lovely home and backyard where Harper was in heaven! I will definitely reach out to Heather for more Rover stays - thank you so much Heather!
Brian was so wonderful with my boy, Ludo. He was responsive, flexible, attentive, and able to attune to Ludo's needs. He sent lots of updates and pictures and I could tell from the photos that Ludo was relaxed and having a great time. Will definitely be reaching out again when we need a sitter. Thanks, Brian!
Another wonderful stay with Irina for Otto! She was very accommodating of a last-minute request for sitting, as well as a change in pickup date. Communication is perfect as always, Otto absolutely adores Irina. If Irina is available she will ALWAYS be our first choice for Otto.
Robyn was amazing with our dogs while we were away! She was incredibly attentive and sent us regular updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs clearly had a blast with her, and they loved spending time with Tony too! We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands. Highly recommend Robyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!
Sparky had a staycation with Meghan and Hakon and had the best time with them! They treat Sparky like their own dog and I am so grateful that I could go away and feel so comfortable that Sparky is in such great care. They sent me so many pictures and videos, loved to see them all while I was away. I’m sure Sparky can’t wait to go back, I was afraid he had too much fun he wouldn’t want to come home!
We could not be more happier with Jessica'a service. We left our beloved kittens to her for 2 months and she took really good care of them. She also sent us photos on a regular basis which was great as we missed them. Jessica, Moon and Silver will come again ! Thank you soooooo much :-)
Moriah took very good care of my old man while we were out of town. He takes several medications and doesn’t move around well anymore so I was very nervous leaving him. Moriah always responded timely and provided pictures. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future or to recommend Moriah to friends!
We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From our first meeting, it was obvious that Scout was in caring, capable hands. Throughout the stay, we received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind. When we picked Scout up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable, which says everything. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone we can trust completely when we’re away. We will absolutely book again and recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional Rover sitter. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Scout!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
