“Valerie took very good care of Millie. She updated me with pictures and a video throughout Millie’s stay with her. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her in the future”
“My corgi LOVED spending the weekend with Chrissy and her pets! He came home tired and happy, and I loved all the pictures of him making new friends. Thanks, Chrissy!”
“Katelyn is a great dog sitter and we would definitely book her dog boarding services again. She was very thorough, gave us updates with adorable photos and was very flexible with our schedule. We were able to pick our dog up for hikes and walks during our trip to Pagosa Springs, which we loved. Katelyn made our dog feel loved so much that they were happy to go back to her place afterwards. This was invaluable to our family. We can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our fur baby!”
“Bonita took wonderful care of our two dogs at her lovely home! Her home environment is very well kept, clean, and the fenced back yard is very nice. Our dogs got along great with her little westie. We will certainly use Bonita again!”
About: Whether you’re hitting the trails, skiing at Wolf Creek, soaking in the hot springs, rafting the river, or heading out for a full day of exploring, you shouldn’t have to spend your adventure worrying about the pets waiting back at your cabin, Airbnb, or home. I offer reliable, attentive pet check-ins and boarding throughout the Pagosa Springs area. I’ll make sure your pets get the care, exercise, affection, and attention they need while you’re away — including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medications as needed, and plenty of belly rubs. What sets me apart is that I’m a registered flight nurse and Army officer, so being dependable, responsible, and calm under pressure is quite literally part of who I am. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, administering medications, and caring for pets who may need a little extra attention. And most importantly, I genuinely love animals and will treat yours like I’d want someone to treat my own. Perfect for Pagosa Springs locals AND visitors who need someone trustworthy to pop in while they hike, ski, soak, explore or simply enjoy a long day out. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care and drop-in visits into my week. I’m happy to work around each pet’s established routine rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Whether that means an early-morning potty break, midday walk, dinner-time visit, medication on a specific schedule, or some extra playtime and companionship, I’ll do my best to keep things familiar and consistent. I especially enjoy helping Pagosa Springs locals and visitors who want to spend a full day hiking, skiing, soaking, or exploring without worrying about their pets back at home. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable planning my day around the animals in my care — because when you trust me with your pet, they become a priority in my schedule. In my home, I provide a safe, welcoming environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I have a fenced yard where pets can safely enjoy outdoor time, and my very friendly dog loves making new friends and playing throughout the day. In clients’ homes, I can provide drop-in visits, walks, feeding, fresh water, medication, litter box care, playtime, and companionship while respecting their space and their pet’s normal routine.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Pagosa Springs is $58
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Pagosa Springs
Valerie took such good care of my sweet Nova that I wasn't sure Nova wanted to come home! That has never happened before! Yes, it hurt my feelings a little, but I'd rather have her happy while I am gone than miserable. Thanks Valerie for being so willing to learn a new app (Tractive), incorporate Nova's routine needs (meds & collar charging) into your own routines, and take Nova along with you whenever possible. If you are wondering...don't! You can't get anyone better to take care of the pet you love.

Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Pagosa Springs 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 Pagosa Springs.
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.
You and your Pagosa Springs 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.
