“Joan continues to be our pup’s favorite sitter!! She sends great videos and is super communicative- we always know our pup is in the absolute best care with her! Highly recommend!!!”
“Karen was an absolute lifesaver for us! We had friends visiting with their kids, and managing two dogs on top of everything would have been a lot, so having Bondi stay with her for a few days made all the difference. Karen kept us completely at ease by posting frequent updates and sharing lots of photos. From every picture, it was clear that Bondi was having the best time and getting so much love and attention. It really meant a lot to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Bondi and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after their pup!”
About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and bring a calm, attentive and intuitive approach to every dog i welcome into my home. I grew up caring for dogs and have owned both Golden Retrievers and a long-haired Dachshund, giving experience with a wide range of temperaments-from energetic and playful to gentle and sensitive. I provide a structured, safe and loving environment where dogs can feel at ease while maintaining their normal routines. I'm highly attentive to each dogs individual needs, whether it's exercise, companionship or simply a calm space to relax. Having hosted many dogs in my home and being a former dog owner looking for care over the years, I understand how important it is for both pets and owners to feel confident and comfortable. My 9-year-old son Bobby is kind, respectful and experienced with dogs adding to the warm, family style environment your dog will be a part of. Nestled in Red Cliff, our home offers a true mountain escape- endless fresh air, trails, a dogs dream playground I currently have full availability, I'm home throughout the day to provide loving, attentive care, regular walks, playtime and calm, consistent routine for every dog. Our home features a partially fenced yard, a peaceful low flow creek on the property and easy access to Red Cliffs dog friendly trails for leashed or unleashed adventures in the backcountry.
“Tania and her daughter took great care of our dog. They sent pictures and updates. Our dog loved playing with their dogs. He was very happy there. We will definitely use them again.”
“Elizabeth was super responsive, friendly and reliable. She was great with our dogs and was such a savior when our flight got canceled and helped us watching our dogs on a short notice! Would definitely recommend her and work with her in the future!”
“Sue was great! Very communicative and she had plenty of places for my 1yo Golden puppy to play. He’s still tired a day later, and had a blast. Will definitely send him to Sue again.”
“Jenna took such good care of my dog, taking him on a great hike for the day I needed her to watch him (even with a short notice of needing her sitting help) Very happy and would recommend!”
“John is an excellent dog sitter. Super communicative and he was so kind and caring with my dog. He was very diligent about getting my dog out for his walks and sent tons of pictures as well. Highly recommend and I will definitely be using John as a sitter again in the future.”
“Kristin and her family took great care of Olive! They provided updates and sent cute photos of Olive during her stay. We would definitely book them again if we need a Rover in the Vail area.”
“Absolutely amazing! Cori was so welcoming and kind to my dogs. It was my first time using Rover and Cori was beyond helpful. I dropped my dogs off with her to undergo a surgery in Denver and Cori was absolutely fantastic with communication and posted updates on how much fun the dogs were having. It was really a huge stress taken off my shoulder. Her place seemed perfect for active dogs like mine with a good trail very close by.”
“Jen and her family were a delight to work with! They integrated our dog right into their family activities and he was happy and well-rested when I picked him up. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Kaylie and Axel were so incredibly kind to our beagle, Beau! We received daily updates and pictures. He was well cared for and they went above and beyond to take him on extra walks and adventures.”
“Bridget is incredible! She took excellent care of my high energy dog and send lots of updates. Bridget was very accommodating and flexible with my flight delays. Highly recommend!!”

About: I’m a very friendly and outgoing person towards humans and animals! I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats in my household and really enjoy their company. In September 2020, I adopted a 2 month old Labrador/ Great Pyrenees / Shepard mix named Arlo from the Boulder humane society and have had an amazing time raising him! I have experience with small to large dogs, as well as dogs of all ages. I love staying active and being outdoors. Being able to take dogs on walks and spending time with them is a great way to stay active throughout the day. I am glad to be able to spend my extra time taking care of your dog and providing you with the best service that I can to keep you and your dog happy! I will have plenty of time to play with your pups during the week or weekend! We can go on walks, hikes, to the dog park or play in the backyard.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and pets for over 12 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every pet like my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I have experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, and older pets that need a gentler approach. I’m also very aware of behavior, routines, and making sure your pet stays on their normal schedule. Living an active lifestyle, I’m great for dogs that need exercise, but I’m just as happy taking it slow with more relaxed pets. Communication is important to me, so I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins. I have extra time on my hands as I work on my own schedule. Can easily take off time from my daily activities to accommodate. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet I care for. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any specific instructions you provide. I always keep a clean and secure space, making sure pets are supervised and comfortable at all times. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything just as I found it. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels to ensure your pet is happy and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

“Marina was fantastic! We were in Vail for a wedding as we passed through to our final destination. We left Lucky with Marina for an entire day and he was played with, walked, feed and cuddled. Marina sent me pictures and a video and Lucky was content and happy. Would highly recommend Marina to sit your dog!”

About: I provide thoughtful, intuitive care for dogs of all personalities—whether they need outdoor adventure, calm companionship, or a little extra patience and understanding. Hi, I’m Cori — a professional, intuitive pet sitter recently relocated to Colorado from Chicago. In Chicago, I spent years deeply involved in dog rescue, rehabilitation, and fostering, along with providing boarding, daycare, house sitting, and in-home care. This hands-on experience gave me a strong foundation working with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and special needs—including anxious, reactive, and recovering pups who require extra patience and understanding. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely connect with. I have a natural ability to read behavior, build trust, and help pets feel safe and at ease in any environment. I offer a full range of services including dog walking, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, and house sitting. Each visit is tailored to your pet’s unique needs and may include feeding, structured walks, playtime, enrichment, medication (if needed), and plenty of attention and care. Whether your dog prefers slow mornings and quiet companionship or thrives on outdoor adventures and long mountain walks, I meet them exactly where they are. Living in Colorado, I love providing active dogs with enriching exercise, while also maintaining a calm, grounded presence for those who need a gentler pace. As an added bonus, I also have extensive experience caring for small animals, including birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I also hold a degree in horticulture, so I’m more than happy to care for houseplants while you’re away—keeping everything in your home healthy and thriving. Pet care is currently my full-time focus, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent, quality time and attention to each pet I care for. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your routines, and I always provide regular updates with photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind. Your pets (and plants!) will be cared for with the same level of attention, safety, and genuine affection I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and becoming someone you can consistently count on. I’m a full-time pet care provider, so spending quality time with your pets is my top priority. I’m available 7 days a week for walks, daycare, boarding, house sitting, or drop-in visits. Daily Routine: Morning: Walks, breakfast, and morning play/enrichment Midday: Potty breaks, short visits, or indoor/outdoor play Afternoon: Longer walks or structured activity for active pets; calm companionship for those who prefer it Evening: Dinner, cuddle time, and gentle evening bathroom breaks I tailor each routine to your pet’s energy, personality, and needs. Because pet care is my full-time focus, your pets get dedicated attention, consistent care, and plenty of love every day. Regular updates and photos are included so you feel connected while you’re away. MY HOME: Your dog will be staying in a comfortable two-bedroom condo in Copper Mountain, where their safety, routine, and overall well-being are my top priorities. I aim to make your dog’s experience feel as close to home as possible. I consistently reinforce your preferred rules and routines—whether that means furniture privileges, feeding schedules, or specific boundaries—so your pup has a seamless and stress-free stay. Dogs are welcome on the sofa if that’s something you allow, and I always create a calm, respectful environment tailored to their needs and personality. Daily care includes multiple walks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. For more active dogs, I’m happy to incorporate longer walks or hikes in the surrounding area. For lower-energy or senior dogs, I provide a slower, more relaxed pace with lots of comfort and companionship. I use positive reinforcement techniques to support good behavior and build trust, as I’ve found this to be the most effective and compassionate approach—especially for dogs adjusting to a new environment. Above all, I work closely with you to follow your dog’s usual schedule and preferences, ensuring a happy, balanced, and personalized experience for everyone involved. YOUR HOME: When caring for your pets in your home, their safety, routine, and comfort are my top priorities. I treat your home with respect while providing attentive, loving care for your pets, creating an environment where they feel safe and relaxed. I follow your preferred rules and routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and any specific boundaries—so your pet experiences minimal disruption and maximum comfort.

I am flexible with scheduling with enough notice! I split my time between Vail and Denver, and offer my services both places. My place in the mountains has a small fenced yard. With ample notice I can accommodate your busy schedule. My apartment is pet proof, child free, and I have linoleum floors and a couple of rugs. I own a carpet shampooer and a steam cleaner so nothing phases me and I keep everything sanitary. Fur babies are allowed everywhere and I mainly clean with green and safe products. I have a crate and can crate your pet if needed. I am also comfortable with medication administration and know all the emergency vet hospitals near by. I believe it's important to send updates and pictures, because to me, pets are just as important as human children.

“Jack has been so wonderful and accommodating to our busy holiday schedule these past few weeks. Showing up on time, taking our boy on amazing hikes and showing him lots of love and care. Couldn’t have done it without him! Highly recommend!”
“Do not look any further. Stop. Hire Karen, now. We were in the Vail area for a week over Thanksgiving and Karen watched our two labs for 5 days and we could not be any happier!!! She was amazing. Our dogs were taken on multiple walks, hikes, and outings per day. They went sledding and shared videos of our puppy pulling the sled. We got multiple pictures, texts, and videos during the day to keep us posted and they were always walking, playing, or snuggly WITH Karen on the couch and good Lord it was cute!! She is an all-star and you couldn't ask for a better fur baby sitter. My kids wanted to give her five bajillioon stars, but it wasn't an option. She's the best!”
“Jade is the best! We have a very high-maintenance Belgian Malinois who is not a fan of strangers, so finding the right person was incredibly important to us. Jade went completely above and beyond by doing multiple meetings to make sure he felt safe and comfortable with her. Her patience, calm demeanor, and gentle approach made all the difference. She truly took the time to understand his personality and earned his trust at his pace — something that does not come easily with him. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone. Thank you for going the extra mile in every possible way!”
“Alex was amazing for a last minute booking! I had never used Rover before but Alex made it easy and took Kimba on a fun walk, sent us picks and a map of his route. We will definitely ask Alex to walk Kimba again. She adores him!”
About: I've had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember and have cared for pets through every stage of life, including senior animals. As a volunteer with the Animal Welfare League of Arlington in Virginia, I worked directly with shelter cats by cleaning kennels, providing food and fresh water, and monitoring their living spaces while being mindful not to cause unnecessary stress. This experience taught me how to respect each animal's comfort level, recognize different personalities, and provide calm, attentive care. I also volunteered with Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation, where I helped socialize animals and connect potential adopters with dogs that matched their lifestyle. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, independent, or needs extra patience, I will provide reliable, compassionate care and follow their routine closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Pet care has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. This summer, I am completing an internship in Avon with varying hours throughout the week, but I am fully available on Mondays and Tuesdays, which are my weekends. On most other days, I am available before work and in the evenings for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. Having cared for dogs and cats my entire life, I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and helping them feel comfortable when their owner is away. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm happy to adapt to your pet's individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care so your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special care instructions before providing care. Whether I'm visiting your home, taking your dog for a walk, or staying overnight, I'll ensure your pet receives attentive, reliable care. Through my volunteer experience caring for shelter cats, I've learned the importance of being patient, observant, and respectful of each animal's comfort level. I'll follow your instructions closely, provide regular updates and photos, and treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care that I would my own.

About: Life is better with dogs and I often say we don’t deserve them! I’ve grown up with dogs and currently have 4 adorable miniature dachshunds. I wanted 2 more but my partner threw down the hammer on me saying no. I’ve used Rover in the past and had some really amazing experiences and one, not so great experience, so I understand the value in finding the right person to stay, play and take care of your loved ones. I’ve always valued my caretaker sending plenty of photos and videos while I’m away, so I always said if I did this for others, I would do the same! Trust and reliability are the most important things I’ve always looked for in having someone stay in my home with my pets while I’m away, and that’s what you get from me! I am currently retired and am fully available day and night! My partner and our 4 dogs stay at our house in Denver full time, and I stay at my house here in the Vail Valley, so there are no conflicts with my schedule. I would be the only person taking care of your pets! Pets are children. Always have been and always will be in my book. I love to play with, walk and snuggle them. I like to give them the same unconditional love they give us.
About: I genuinely enjoy taking care of, playing and loving pets! I have been around animals my whole life & it makes life so much more fulfilling. I have two cats and a dog of my own & have been the dog/cat auntie for many friends with pets. I love taking pets on adventures, hiking, parks, kayaking, paddle boarding, cuddling up on the couch, playing fetch, tug of war or learning new tricks. Pets add so much love and joy to our lives, they give love without question & it’s so meaningful to experience. I have volunteered at animal shelters in the USVI and SC. I also volunteered at a Donkey rehabilitation center in USVI taking care of donkeys, goats & horses. Rover is currently my main job so I should have availability in my schedule as of right now. Message me and we can talk more about scheduling needs. I believe in creating a safe and loving space for your pet or continuing the current space provided. I live by the statement “always leave things better than you found them”.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs majority of my life. Growing up I’be had 3 husky mix breeds all coming from animal shelters. I have always had the responsibility of taking them on walks, playing with them and feeding them. In high school I also volunteered at the animal shelter near me and took care of all the dogs and cats there. I recently also became a loving cat owner and just moved to the area. I hope to meet you and your furry friend soon. I recently moved to the Vail area and am working with Vail resorts. I will be working Monday- Saturday from 9am-6 with a day off during the week. I am open to doing dog walks, house checks, letting your dog out or caring for your cat before work, during my lunch break and at any hours after work and any days I have off. I am currently living in employee housing and at this time could not have other pets in my home due to the policies enforced. I am open to caring for your pet on your home, in whichever way makes you the comfortable.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work in the morning some days and nights some days. So my schedule varies. But, I always will have some time during the day. I have a very friendly fur baby of my own, so must be dog friendly. But I have a large living room with a spare bedroom, so I have plenty of room.
About: I’m a very friendly and outgoing person towards humans and animals! I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats in my household and really enjoy their company. In September 2020, I adopted a 2 month old Labrador/ Great Pyrenees / Shepard mix named Arlo from the Boulder humane society and have had an amazing time raising him! I have experience with small to large dogs, as well as dogs of all ages. I love staying active and being outdoors. Being able to take dogs on walks and spending time with them is a great way to stay active throughout the day. I am glad to be able to spend my extra time taking care of your dog and providing you with the best service that I can to keep you and your dog happy! I will have plenty of time to play with your pups during the week or weekend! We can go on walks, hikes, to the dog park or play in the backyard. I currently live in a 2 bedroom apartment with an open living room, kitchen, balcony and mud room area. I also have a shared back yard, am less than a 2 minute walk from gore creek trail, and only a 5 minute drive away from the west vail dog park. I also have my own dog that would love a play buddy! If at your home, please let me know your preferred areas of play and down time. I can also take your dog to their favorite spots in the area!

“Joan continues to be our pup’s favorite sitter!! She sends great videos and is super communicative- we always know our pup is in the absolute best care with her! Highly recommend!!!”
“Karen was an absolute lifesaver for us! We had friends visiting with their kids, and managing two dogs on top of everything would have been a lot, so having Bondi stay with her for a few days made all the difference. Karen kept us completely at ease by posting frequent updates and sharing lots of photos. From every picture, it was clear that Bondi was having the best time and getting so much love and attention. It really meant a lot to see how happy and comfortable he was while we were away. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Bondi and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. I highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after their pup!”
About: I've been caring for dogs my entire life and bring a calm, attentive and intuitive approach to every dog i welcome into my home. I grew up caring for dogs and have owned both Golden Retrievers and a long-haired Dachshund, giving experience with a wide range of temperaments-from energetic and playful to gentle and sensitive. I provide a structured, safe and loving environment where dogs can feel at ease while maintaining their normal routines. I'm highly attentive to each dogs individual needs, whether it's exercise, companionship or simply a calm space to relax. Having hosted many dogs in my home and being a former dog owner looking for care over the years, I understand how important it is for both pets and owners to feel confident and comfortable. My 9-year-old son Bobby is kind, respectful and experienced with dogs adding to the warm, family style environment your dog will be a part of. Nestled in Red Cliff, our home offers a true mountain escape- endless fresh air, trails, a dogs dream playground I currently have full availability, I'm home throughout the day to provide loving, attentive care, regular walks, playtime and calm, consistent routine for every dog. Our home features a partially fenced yard, a peaceful low flow creek on the property and easy access to Red Cliffs dog friendly trails for leashed or unleashed adventures in the backcountry.
“Tania and her daughter took great care of our dog. They sent pictures and updates. Our dog loved playing with their dogs. He was very happy there. We will definitely use them again.”
“Elizabeth was super responsive, friendly and reliable. She was great with our dogs and was such a savior when our flight got canceled and helped us watching our dogs on a short notice! Would definitely recommend her and work with her in the future!”
“Sue was great! Very communicative and she had plenty of places for my 1yo Golden puppy to play. He’s still tired a day later, and had a blast. Will definitely send him to Sue again.”
“Jenna took such good care of my dog, taking him on a great hike for the day I needed her to watch him (even with a short notice of needing her sitting help) Very happy and would recommend!”
“John is an excellent dog sitter. Super communicative and he was so kind and caring with my dog. He was very diligent about getting my dog out for his walks and sent tons of pictures as well. Highly recommend and I will definitely be using John as a sitter again in the future.”
“Absolutely amazing! Cori was so welcoming and kind to my dogs. It was my first time using Rover and Cori was beyond helpful. I dropped my dogs off with her to undergo a surgery in Denver and Cori was absolutely fantastic with communication and posted updates on how much fun the dogs were having. It was really a huge stress taken off my shoulder. Her place seemed perfect for active dogs like mine with a good trail very close by.”
“Jen and her family were a delight to work with! They integrated our dog right into their family activities and he was happy and well-rested when I picked him up. I’d hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“Kaylie and Axel were so incredibly kind to our beagle, Beau! We received daily updates and pictures. He was well cared for and they went above and beyond to take him on extra walks and adventures.”
“Bridget is incredible! She took excellent care of my high energy dog and send lots of updates. Bridget was very accommodating and flexible with my flight delays. Highly recommend!!”
About: I absolutely love dogs, I have grown up with dogs and have George now who I do everything with. He’s been to just about every state in the country. Recently moved back to Utah and looking to get some extra work. My schedule is flexible at the moment so can work around whatever is needed! I will make sure to be very attentive whether it’s at my place or yours. Happy to also go on walks, long or short, whatever the dog likes!
“Kyle was amazing with Scout. From our meet and greet with him and Toffee through the entire stay, he was communicative, caring, and helpful. You can tell he loves dogs and I knew Scout was well taken care of. Highly recommend.”
“I'd be happy to help! Here's a friendlier version of the I booked this place last minute and the host was amazing! They were really communicative and sweet. My dog Harley loved his stay, and the location was super convenient for getting to and from the mountain. We even got to explore some fresh powder while I was snowboarding. It was a great experience overall!”
