“Kimber (and her family) did an absolutely amazing job of providing a fun and safe space for my dog while we were away! It had been the longest that we had ever left our dog and she was welcomed as one of their own. Kimber was excellent about updates/photos and keeping us informed on her stay! It really made our trip that much more enjoyable to know that our dog was well taken care of and having an adventure of her own. Can’t speak highly enough about this sitter. We will definitely be using Kimber again!!!”
“Kay looked after our dog, Tully, for a week while we were on vacation. It was the first time we had left her for that long, so we were apprehensive at first. Kay kept us updated and sent us pictures, and it looked like Tully was having a vacation of her own! Kay was also very accomodating of our flight schedule, which made pickup and drop off convenient. We would definitely book a stay with her again :)”
“Gayle was wonderful! We knew she would take good care of our pup, Watson, when we were able to do a meet and greet with her. We had no worries about our pup while he spent several days with Gayle, and she also sent pictures!”
“Jacque was awesome and really made us feel welcome with watching Luna. She’s super fun and I can tell Luna had a great time. She also makes some rockin pumpkin seeds! Thanks Jacque!”
“Lindsay and Josh watched my puppy while J was out of town. My flight home was delayed and they were very flexible and understanding. My pup was very happy with them and had lots of fun”
“Last minute booking and she was amazing with our two big dogs. Great backyard so doesn't have to worry about the walks if they have some room to get thrown the ball which is what my labs want all the time anyhow. Pics everyday and super easy drop off and pick up. Highly recommend her and her family.”
“Stephanie and her husband were so wonderful! She provided constant photo updates to ensure I was in the loop. They treated Hoss like their own, and I know he had fun with their sweet dog Sadie. I would book with them again in a minute. Plus they wore out my dog with a 4 mile hike - he’s never slept so well in his life :)”
“Nyssa is always so helpful whenever we have to go on a trip or travel last minute. She is understanding, kind, and communicative. Also, she gets adorable and fun photos, which is a great bonus when we are missing our pup while we are away!”
“Jamie took real good care of our dog during his overnight stay giving him plenty of walks, playtime and love. She sent us many great photos and updates during his stay and was very communicative and easy to reach. She will take good care of your furry friend and we will also definitely come back next time.”
“Barbra is the absolute best! When we were gone for two weeks she took amazing care of our dog and we always had comfort in knowing she was with someone who provided love and attention while we were gone”
“Ricardo was amazing ! He took our booking last minute when another pet sitter fell through. He took such good care of her , gave us updates and pictures. Very much appreciate all he did and will definitely use him again”
“John and Lynn are absolutely the best! My pup knows we’re going to see them as soon as we turn into the neighborhood. He gets so excited, it’s hard to get him to settle down enough to help him out of the car! 😂 John and Lynn have watched over Toby several times now, and I feel so at ease knowing the my pup is with our new extended family. Honestly, anytime I have to travel, I check to see if John and Lynn are available first. I don’t want to entrust my fur baby to anyone else because no one cares for him (or any pup) the way these two do. Their hearts are so full of love and they are truly a blessing. We are so grateful to them. 💖”
“We had a wonderful experience with Susan and would absolutely trust her with Winnie again. Our 11-year-old Morkie, Winnie, has several health issues and requires multiple medications, so finding someone we feel comfortable leaving her with is incredibly important. Susan did a great job making sure Winnie received all of her medications and was well cared for throughout her stay. Susan was very easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with messages and pictures, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Winnie loves to explore, and she had a great time enjoying Susan’s backyard, going on walks through the neighborhood, and spending time with Susan and her family throughout the day. When we picked Winnie up, it was clear that she felt comfortable and well cared for in their home. That meant so much to us. We would definitely ask Susan to dog sit again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a safe, reliable, and caring place for their dog while they are away.”
“We had a great experience with Alex. He is very kind and is a dog lover. He was great with communication and drop off pickup and being flexible with our times. He let us enjoy our trip but sent a few messages and took amazing photos of our dog Chip. He was thoughtful and gave us some prints and a magnet of his photography of our cutie pup Chip. We will definitely be using Alex again. Thank you!”
“Our dog had a great time at Kimberly. We received a lot of updates and photos. It was our first time using a dog sitter and Kimberly made the experience seamless. She was also very flexible with the drop off and pick up. We will definitely come back ;-)”
“Another great experience! This time our pup required some extra care and we knew she would be well cared for. Rochelle & Ben are wonderful to work with, communicate well and clearly love caring for dogs. We highly reccomend!”
“I get anxious leaving my dog with anyone. When I do meet and greets I’m rarely at ease - but I was with Jaime and her family. I got frequent photos and updates (per my request) that she was doing great. They took her for daily walks in the AM when it was cooler, she could roam around in their shady backyard and cool off in the AC on hot days. Kierra is hit or miss with some dogs - her and Chile got along so well. Even with the difference in age (Kierra is 13.5) and it seemed like Chile respected her space. I felt so comfortable during my trip that I forgot about her - lol! That’s a good thing! I will definitely hire them again. Thank you!”
“Sara is such a great host! She is so kind and caring and I know she took such great care of Ruby. Ruby fell asleep as soon as she got in the car so I know she had a great time playing and running around with her dog Logan. Sara goes above and beyond and I'll definitely be taking Ruby back again.”

We absolutely love having Sara watch Kiwi! We’ve had her stay a couple of times now, and Kiwi always gets so excited when she knows she’s going to Sara’s. She has a blast playing with Sara’s puppy, playing in the little pool, and the ball playpen. Kiwi always comes home happily tired! Sara sends daily updates and takes great care of her. We highly recommend Sara!
Jenna and Jason watched our dogs while we were out of the country for a bit over a week. They made sure to go the extra mile to give lots of love and attention to our dogs, including walks, with daily updates, and were very attentive to their needs. We are very grateful to find such a great family and our pups look forward to their next stay or visit! Thank you!
Third stay and this one was a longer international trip. Daisy always runs right into Martha’s home indicating she just loves it there! We always miss our pup while traveling but Martha makes us at ease knowing Daisy is well-cared for while we can’t have her with us.
Jill was amazing! This was my first time boarding a pup with Rover and she made me feel so comfortable and confident leaving for a vacation out of the country. I received multiple picture and video updates per day and it's clear my dog recieved a lot of love while I was gone. Lots of play time, snuggles in blankets, running around outside & sunbathing, and so much attention :) I would 10/10 recommend Jill to watch your dog!
We absolutely love Magdalena and we truly couldn’t be happier with her care! She went above and beyond to get to know Frankie, which really speaks to her caring and friendly personality. From the thoughtful daily updates, photos and videos we received, we could tell Frankie was having a blast with plenty of play time and felt right at home with Magdalena. If you’re seeking a trustworthy and caring sitter, Magdalena is undoubtedly the perfect choice. Frankie formed a genuine connection and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!
Amelia was so great. Just 2 days before our trip, my doggo had to go to the ER which resulted in a bland diet for the first few days of his stay that i had to prep. I was so worried it would cause Amelia stress, but she had no issue whatsoever taking that on! She even was so great to go above and beyond and provide some extra support getting my dog to his next sitter after her care. She is very thoughtful and I knew my guy was in good hands! Im excited to have another sitter I can go to!
This is our second time having Susan watch our dog Sophie, and Sophie was so excited to see them when we got to their house. Susan provided great updates, and when our flights got delayed she was very accommodating to our changing pickup schedule / process. We will absolutely be back to have Susan watch Sophie again ❤️😊

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.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
