“We are newer to the area so chose Joan based on reviews on Rover.com - we couldn't have been more pleased! She was responsive before and during our dogs' stay, tired them out via walks/runs and provided photos/videos for us to see our fur babies while on vacation. We will definitely be contacting Joan the next time we need a caretaker for our dogs!”
“Great and quick communication! Very trustworthy! You can tell they have a real passion for animals. I felt very comfortable leaving Ajax with Jana and Colten a second time. Always my first choice for any boarding needs!”
About: Hello! I’ve been caring for my own and other people’s dogs for 25 years...a wide range of sizes and personalities. I’ve particularly been around Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Labs, Great Danes, Goldens, Aussie Shepherds, Havanese, Dachshunds, Huskies, Chihuahuas, Doodles of all kinds, and of course many wonderful mixes. I have had dog parties/sleepovers/boarded at my home and for others in their homes. I’m super happy to cater to your pup’s unique preferences...I can make special foods, pop pills down expertly, change diapers, hang out at the dog park, play fetch, hit the trails, whatever your best friend likes best. Making their day makes my day too! I’m currently working seasonally doing gardening, and am very flexible with my routine. Being around dogs and making them happy is something that brings me me a lot of joy! I will follow whatever normal rules established in your home, or bring them home with me to share space with my two small and friendly dogs.
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Yo, 5 stars all day for Sally & Co. My boy Arlo lived his BEST life—playtime on playtime, full-on social butterfly status with the pack. Basically a doggy VIP experience. If you want to treat yo’ pup, book with Sally! Arlo says woof woof, aka thank you ☺️”
“Ducky had the best overnight stay! You could tell she felt right at home — she came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Thank you for taking such good care of our girl. I would definitely recommend Carolina to others!”
“I felt comfortable leaving our pup Cody under Tania’s care. He’s only 20 pounds and I had an initial concern about her 2 larger golden retrievers playing too rough. After our initial meet and greet I felt reassured that her dogs were gentle with Cody, who adores playing with other dogs and Tania’s ability to monitor them and keep Cody safe. She communicated throughout his stay with her sent lots of pics. I’ll definitely use her 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!!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“I could not have hoped for a better experience. My dogs are young and had never been away from us. Elizabeth was great with them. They got to run in her backyard. She took them on adventures in her neighborhood. We got fun pictures of them everyday. It was so nice to know they were loved while we were on vacation.”
About: Hey, I'm Jason! Dogs have always been part of my life, and right now Peanut and I are holding down a home that's basically a dog's dream: a fenced yard, a quiet street, and the river and bike path just steps away for long walks and sniff-filled adventures. I offer boarding, house sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, and doggy day care — with a flexible schedule, so I'm usually available whenever you need me. Here's what your pet can count on: Meals and meds on time, every time Real exercise — yard time plus trail walks by the river Photo/video updates so you always know they're doing great A calm, patient touch, especially for shy or nervous pups Your home and your pet treated with total respect I'd love to meet you both — reach out anytime! Services offered: Boarding, House Sitting, Drop-In Visits, Dog Walking, Doggy Day Care I'm home most of the day, every day, so pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than being squeezed in. When I'm not home, it's usually because I'm out on an adventure somewhere in the county — and dogs in my care are always welcome to tag along on those outings if they're up for it. This flexibility means consistent feeding times, regular walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Since I'm home most of the day, pets in my care get consistent supervision rather than long stretches alone. At my place, there's a fully fenced yard for secure off-leash time, plus the river and bike path right outside for walks and adventures — and if I'm heading out into the county for the day, well-suited dogs are welcome to come along for the ride. In a client's home, I follow their routine closely, keep doors and gates secure, and treat the space with the same care I'd want for my own.
“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!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Vail
Kristin and Scott were great with Toby! They took great care of him and sent lots of pictures. He got lots and lots of attention ! Their dog, Nittany (I hope I got the name/spelling right!) was a cute sweetheart! I'd definitely bring Toby there again and highly recommend them.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Vail on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 158 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.
