Charlotte had my 1.5 yr old Porty for 4 nights. Went for multiple walks per day , sent pics of him having fun, and communicated thru out. If you’re looking for a home away from home for your pup, I highly recommend Charlotte., one of the sweetest and nicest humans I’ve ever met.

David was great with our very scared 7 month old puppy Buzz. He introduced him to other dogs, watched out for him and walked him daily. I am very thankful that we connected with David and highly recommend him.

Suzanne was great! She answered prior to our drop off in a timely manner and during Katy's stay with her. We got daily updates with pics which was great. We will definitely use her again if we have a need in the area.

Rachel and her family are amazing! They cared for my dog Rosie as one of the family. This was the most secure I’ve felt leaving my dog with someone while going out of town. I wouldn’t use anyone else if they are available to watch her. Thanks Rachel!

About: Trustworthy and reliable human looking to take care of your precious pets! I have many years of experience in animal care and have two dogs of my own! I’m working a seasonal job at the ski resort but my spring and summer is going to be very open. I also have a retired mother who is at home full time and she is also looking for some extra work. Bonus- she is a professional pet groomer! I will do everything I can to accommodate your pets specific needs. I’m able to feed, walk, give meds and plenty of love! My animals are allowed on beds and couches at my house but I can keep to whatever your preferences are in your home.

About: I’ve been pet sitting for years, starting back in my teens, and I’m comfortable caring for a wide range of animals including dogs and cats. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets, including those who need extra attention like medication administration (including insulin) and more structured care routines. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, training support for young dogs, or gentle care for older pets, I adjust to each animal’s needs. I’m also happy to take care of small extras like watering plants or keeping an eye on your home while you’re away, so you can come back to everything in good shape. I work a full-time job, but I’m able to come home during my lunch break to check in on my own puppy and provide mid-day care. This keeps me consistently involved in daily pet care even during the workweek. At this time, I am only offering weekend availability for boarding, so I’m fully available to focus on providing attentive, structured care during those stays. I make sure pets are comfortable, on their normal routines, and well cared for while they’re with me. When boarding a dog in my home, I do my best to accommodate their normal routine and make them feel as comfortable as possible, like they’re at home. I have a fenced-in yard, and my own puppy enjoys plenty of outdoor playtime, so dogs who are active will get lots of safe exercise and enrichment. If a dog is more of a relaxed, homebody type, I’m just as happy to keep things calm with indoor time, rest, and companionship. I adjust to each dog’s personality and energy level. For any care—whether boarding, drop-ins, or walks—I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, routines, and any special needs or medications, to make sure each pet is cared for consistently and safely.

As soon as we met Teresa we realized our dog Oreo is in a great hands. She is happy, caring person , very energetic! She invited us inside the house and everything looked super clean which I love! When we left she sent us Oreo ‘s pictures. She even made a special bed for her. And when we came to pick up Oreo. She was excited, happy and playful , so I could guess she really enjoyed to stay at Teresa’s place! Thank you We will recommend you and use your services again when we are back to Colorado ???

Chonlada and her boyfriend took such good care of our puppy during our vacation. She sent us great photos of the fun they had together and our pup was so happy and healthy when we picked her up. She had a great backyard to run around in and another sweet dog to play with. I would definitely recommend Chonlada for her amazing care. Thank you!

About: I've cared for animals my whole life: dogs, cats, rats, parrots, fish, and more. Right now I share my home with three senior cats I adore, so I'm right at home with pets who need a little extra patience, a medication schedule, or just someone who reads their quirks and knows when 'she's hiding' means she's fine and when it doesn't. Whatever your pet needs, I've got it covered: feeding and fresh water, meds and pills (even the sneaky ones), playtime and walks, litter and cleanup, and overnight stays so they're never alone. I'm reliable, I show up when I say I will, and I'll send you photos and updates so you can actually relax while you're away. I'm always happy to start with a meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get comfortable with me before booking anything. Tell me your pet's routine and I'll keep it exactly the way they like it. Senior pets, anxious pets, shy pets, high-energy pets, and the occasional exotic are all welcome. I'd love to help take care of your best friend like they're my own. I do part-time software work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care throughout the day. Since I'm home for much of the day, I can handle midday visits, feedings, and check-ins that a 9-to-5 sitter can't. I'm available for morning and evening care, overnight stays at your place, and drop-ins during the day. Just tell me your pet's routine and we'll find a rhythm that works for both of us. In your home, I respect your space completely. I follow your instructions to the letter, keep doors and gates secured, stick to your pet's normal routine, and leave things exactly the way I found them. I'll send photos and updates at each visit so you always know your pet is safe, fed, and happy. I'm careful with the little things that matter: locking up when I leave, bringing in mail or packages if you'd like, and watching for anything off with your pet's behavior or health so I can flag it early. If something ever comes up, you'll hear from me right away. Above all, I treat every pet like my own and every home like I'd want mine treated, with care, respect, and attention to detail.

Wow. I am a new Rover user, and had hesitations. I have 2 young active dogs, and dropping them off for 30 days was daunting to say the least. David made the process easy. I was reassured they would be taken good care of, he makes homemade dog treats, kept them active with photos and videos of them having so much fun. They came back healthy, happy and groomed. I highly recommend David for long or short term stays. Great job.

FAQs for Boarding - Rifle

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rifle on Rover is $53.28 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 43 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rifle. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Rifle 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 Rifle.

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 Rifle 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.
