“Excellence!! We are absolutely thrilled with Joan and how well she cared for our Aussiedoodle, Trixie while we were away vacationing with family. Trixie settled in immediately, was comfortable, and even gave Joan snuggles. We received wonderful texts with pics and even a sweet video of Trixie playing fetch with Joan’s nephew. Thank you Joan! We will definitely rebook Trixie again the next time we come to Colorado!”
“Sara was an absolute gem!! She communicated so well and her little Waffle was the best playmate for our pup. They made it a fun experience for our dog. Excellent care!!!!!”
“Elizabeth was responsive, kind, and I'm very happy we booked with her. Leo had a great time, and Elizabeth sent photos and videos which we really appreciated. Thank you!”
“Travis and his family are the best. This was my second time having them watch my dog Cali and I so appreciated the peace of mind. He’s communicative, responsible, and treats our dog like his own. Highly recommend booking with him. 10/10! 😀”
“My dog just had a week long stay with Owen and Kylie and she always comes home happy and I can tell she had a great time! I’m always comfortable leaving her under their care!”
“Natasha provided a comfortable home away from home for our senior dog. She sent many pictures and it was clear from those that he was well cared for. He came home happy and healthy. Natasha was very responsive and communicative.”
“Zoe was amazing and communicative with updates. My dog so happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Will definitely be using Zoe again and would recommend her to family and friends!”
“Michael watched my dog Finch and did a wonderful job! He sent daily updates and photos which I looked forward to getting every day. Finch seemed to have a great time staying with Michael and I would definitely re-book with him and recommend him as a sitter. Thanks Michael for taking such good care of Finch!”
“Our pups love Rachel and Rebekah! They always come home happy and tired and we know they will have gone on lots of walks and had lots of playtime. Rachel and Rebekah are so kind and have always been flexible when we needed to change a day or time (we were very thankful they could watch them over Christmas this year). Highly recommend them!!”
About: Since adopting our own pup, Bowie, I have become the ultimate dog mom. Since I work from home, my whole schedule revolves around my pup and what he needs. We usually have 2-3 walks a day, play time in the yard, and hang time in the house. I also grew up with two adorable golden retrievers. I work from home, as does my husband. We tend to make a lot of time in our day to walk the pup, play in the fenced back yard, or play tug in the house. We have very flexible schedules and can be available for your pets needs. We have a large fenced yard where pets can run, play and explore. It has been throughly dog-proofed to make sure your pet stays safe and has a good time! We can go on short walks around our neighborhood to explore and let your pet scent new things. Inside we have a lounge bed and plenty of toys depending on your pets energy levels and needs.
“We left our dog with Ashlan for 10 days and our dog did so well. Ashlan gave us regular updates, gave her love, and took her on walks. Upon meeting Ashlan you can immediately tell she is a true animal lover. I will be using Ashlan every time we go out of town!”
“We left our pup with Kanani for a week and couldn't be more impressed. She is a true dog lover and will take the best care of your dog. She was hands on and provided special care for our aging and arthritic girl. I could not recommend her enough for short or long stays -- you will be able to enjoy your trip knowing your dog is in the best of hands!”
“Oliver had another great stay with Kathy and I can tell that he is so comfortable going to her house. I loved that he had some other smaller dogs to play with and he has been sleeping hard for the past two days recovering from all the excitement! :) I cannot recommend Kathy enough. Thanks again!”
“Ellen was great! Very accommodating to our schedule. Our puppy had an awesome time staying with her for 4 days and we will definitely use her again. The videos she sent were an extra bonus.”
“Justine was wonderful and our dog came home happy and healthy. We got stunning pictures of our dog while she stayed with Justine and she also was very patient and understanding with me with booking and drop off/pick up!”
About: I've had pets since I can remember. Dogs, cats, a few farm animals. My dog passed recently and I dont feel ready to get a new pet yet. There's a hole though and I thought helping with the communities pets would help. I'm always the person at parties playing with the pets. I'm lucky that I work from home so I have the time to give someone else's pets all the love they could want. I work from home. Don't have kids. Life is flexible. I do travel for work sometimes but I wouldnt schedule anything during those weeks. I do mutual aid but its never an hour or two at a time. I have a fenced in backyard. I live close to a park. I walk a lot. Furniture is dog friendly. They would have lots of attention.
About: I have never not had a pet! Since before I was born I had Siamese kitties. I finally got a dog, or two when I was 10 and haven’t stopped loving and training my boys since. I have an Aussie and a cocker spaniel. I currently attend college online so am free almost all day everyday! I get most of my school work done on Monday so the rest of the week is free for activities. I am just an animal lover, I will always ask to pet a dog I see on the street. I will treat your baby like my own and treat them like human kids.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors. My responsibilities have included feeding, providing fresh water, walking, playing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and understand the importance of following each owner’s specific instructions and routines. As a Mechanical Engineering student at Colorado State University, I’m dependable, organized, and detail-oriented. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own, ensuring they stay safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. As a Mechanical Engineering student, I keep a structured schedule and make time each morning before 1 PM and on most weekends for pet care responsibilities. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so taking dogs for walks, playing with them, and giving them attention is something I genuinely enjoy. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and am committed to following each owner’s instructions to help keep their pets comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re away. 🐾 When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific care requirements. I make sure pets have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe environment while their owners are away. I also provide updates and photos when requested so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are being well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I would give my own. 🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Rustic 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 Rustic.
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 Rustic 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.
