“Joan was so kind to our sweet cat Vinnie. He’s an elderly guy who has meds and a demanding personality. Joan set up spots for him to cuddle by the fire and sit on her lap, his favorite place. She sent pictures and updates all week. Never questioned whether or not he was in good hands. He even cried when I picked him up, something he rarely does but does when he’s sad to leave somewhere he loves. We will definitely reach out next time we need Vinnie care. Thank you, Joan!”
“They helped out on short notice. Elwood had lots of play time with other dogs and came home tired. Jana sent photos throughout his stay. Very good overnight boarding service!”
“Karen was amazing and our dog just loved her! We had some time to kill before a wedding and were able to pick him up and take him for a hike. When we went back to drop him back off after our hike, our dog was genuinely happy to see her, it was great. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would. Super cool and great experience.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Marina did an amazing job taking care of our sheepdog, Leo. He was exercised on trails (his favorite place to be) every day. She kept us updated with pictures and videos. She was accommodating to all of his funny sheepdog quirks. Leo would highly recommend Marina (and her husband Tom)!”
“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.”
“Everything about Koda’s stay with Corinne was perfect. She accommodated us stopping by a couple times to pick up Koda for hikes (since dogs weren’t allowed at our condo). She even offered to pick him up once to let us avoid the construction traffic back to her house. She did a great job feeding Koda his antibiotics and eye drops too. Corinne was very capable with our independent Great Pyrenees and he clearly loved staying with Corinne and her son. We will not hesitate to book with her out again if/when we are ever back in the area with Koda and can’t have him stay with us. Thank you so much Corinne!!!”
“Tania and her daughter took great care of Bandit for a full week. We received frequent notes and pictures. He had a lot of walks. He loved playing with their dogs and was treated like part of the family.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”

Melissa was great! She took great care of Toby! She sent lots of pictures, and it looked like he had a nice time with her. She communicated well and did everything she said she would do. She was also very flexible with drop off and pick up times. I'd highly recommend her!
This is the second time we have used Marina to care for our German Shepherd, Skye. Our experience with Marina has been nothing short of fantastic! We received updates (with photos) throughout Skye’s stay and were so at ease knowing that she was being so well cared for. I highly recommend Marina!
Cuba was looked after very well.Unfortunately we were told she didn't get along with Kristin and Scott's dog.The family did a great job updating us with photos and message updates. We were very impressed by Colby,their son who walked Cuba a lot. Overall,we feel the experience for great.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Vail on Rover is $83.25 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 163 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Vail. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover 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.
100% of Vail sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Vail 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 Vail 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 Vail.
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 Vail 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.
