“When we met for a meet and greet I could see instantly Jennifer loves dogs. Her calm and inviting personality struck me as the person I’d love to have my dogs share time with. She sent wonderful photos. Her home is perfect for furry pals and she allowed them to be comfortable with their routine. I know they must have loved the yard. She was responsive to my inquiries and I could see from the pictures they were happy. I like that Jennifer works from home. I will use Jennifer again in the future”

“Danielle was great to work with and is an amazing sitter. I needed a sitter at the last minute, and not only was she great about accommodating me, but she was also willing to do a meet-and-greet the next day. She did great keeping me updated with texts and pictures/videos every day. I also love that she did a great job getting my picky dog to eat and also took him for walks every day. My dog had a great time and came home happy. I’m glad I found her, and would recommend her to anyone in need of a great sitter.”

About: My name is Chelsea, I’m a lifelong dog lover and a mom of two boys who absolutely adore dogs! We previously had two dogs of our own for over six years, so I understand firsthand just how much love, attention, and responsibility goes into caring for our furry family members. While we’re not currently in a season where we can have dogs of our own, we would absolutely love the opportunity to care for yours! Dog sitting gives us the best of both worlds the joy of having dogs in our lives while giving pet owners peace of mind knowing their pups are being loved and cared for. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets, and my goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping your pup company, I’d love to help make their time away from you a happy experience! 🐶🤍 As a mom of two boys and a business owner, I have a flexible routine that allows me to make time for the pets in my care! I love being able to incorporate walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention into our everyday lives. I also prioritize safe, supervised interactions with my children and always respect each owner’s preferences and instructions. My goal is to provide a loving, dependable environment where your pup feels like part of the family! 🐶🤍

About: For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a deep love for animals. Growing up with them, I have experience with everything from puppies to senior dogs, kittens and senior cats. I currently care for two large, dogs and two cats. I have plenty of hands on experience with daily walks, grooming, feeding, and playtime. I love having an active companion, like a dog, but I have a special soft spot for cats. Their unique reserved and affectionate personalities make them especially close to my heart. I often help care for neighbors' animals while they’re away, making sure their pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved in their absence. My experience with pet care has taught me the importance of attentive care and excites me to continue working with animals. As I am graduating high school, I’ve had the flexibility to care for my pets, which is something I truly enjoy. I can be attentive to feeding my dogs and cats, refreshing their water. I make time throughout the day for grooming, playtime, and keeping their spaces clean. My favorite activities involve the outdoors, including hiking and I love to bring a four legged buddy along. Even with social plans or family commitments, I always prioritize making sure my pets feel cared for, loved and part of my daily life. As a pet owner, I’m well equipped with plenty of treats, toys, brushes, and food and water dishes. My dogs enjoy a fenced backyard at home, and I often take them to a nearby park for more space to run. When caring for pets in someone else’s home, I make sure to spend quality time with them so they don’t feel lonely. I’m also available to stay overnight if needed and can help with light household tasks like watering plants or vacuuming. My goal is always to keep pets happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their families are away.

“Daniel was friendly, helpful, flexible, and communicated with us promptly & sent lots of pics. Our dog had a great stay & must have felt safe, happy, and loved because he ate well. (Our pup will go off his feed when feeling out of sorts). Plenty of room for fun play inside the house and in the fenced backyard. We will definitely use Daniel for our Rover next time we are in the area.”

“Kristina was a wonderful boarder to our Aussie, Tesla. He clearly enjoyed his time, and she made sure to keep me up to date with his fun! I really appreciate the time and effort Kristina put into making sure he was comfortable and happy. He came back all wags and smiles, and I could not have asked for a better time for him! Thanks, Kristina!”

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Orchard Mesa

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Orchard Mesa is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $53 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 81 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Orchard Mesa. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.

97% of sitters in Orchard Mesa 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 Orchard Mesa 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 Orchard Mesa.

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 Orchard Mesa. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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 Orchard Mesa 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.
