“Joan is amazing. Our dog loved the morning hikes and all of the love and attention. She was also super flexible when we had to add a day to our stay. I can't say enough about how great she is. We love Joan!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
About: I am a dog mom and people mom! I have a great fenced in yard, a lovable black lab and kids that spoil their little sister :) I walk my dog around 2-3 miles per day, and give lots of love and pets to my pets. I work from home 2 days a week and go to my local office the other days, which is pet friendly! I have a fenced in yard and plenty of balls to play with! Watching people walk by from the sunny deck is my dogs favorite hobby.
“Tracy is amazing!! She made my anxious puppy feel right at home!! My 2 dogs got the best care with Tracy. My kids loved seeing the daily pictures of our dogs Tracy would send! Our dogs looked like they were having a good time! Thanks again we will for sure be using again the next time we come up to the mountains!!”
About: As a long-time resident here in Frisco, I understand the unique challenges of the mountain environment and local trail safety. I currently have two wonderful dogs and two cats of my own, so I know firsthand that pets are family. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, a quiet check-in, or dedicated overnight boarding, I provide a safe, calm, and reliable environment tailored to their exact routine. I am completely dependable and look forward to giving your pup the absolute best care while you are away. *Cats will be kept in a separate building from dogs. Because I currently work a highly flexible schedule from home, pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I am available throughout the week to provide consistent feeding, walking, and supervision tailored to your pet's specific needs. Taking care of animals is a primary focus of my day, ensuring your pup is never left unattended for long periods. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, safety and clear communication are my absolute priorities. I strictly follow the owner's specific instructions regarding feeding schedules, medication, and house rules to keep the pet's routine completely consistent. For boarding, I utilize a secure, dedicated separate building on my property to ensure a calm, low-stress environment away from the main house. When out on walks or local trails, I practice vigilant situational awareness and keep dogs securely leashed at all times to prevent any environmental hazards. I also send regular photo updates to the owners so they have complete peace of mind while they are away.
“We needed someone to keep our dog for the night while we went to a concert in Vail. Lola was so happy at Erin’s with both of her pups, lots of walks, a big fenced yard, and another rover pup to play with. We are so thankful and would absolutely use Erin to watch Lola again in the future.”
About: I work shift work so I have many days off throughout the week. I have a husky, so dog walks are top priority. I have a backyard and a long lead for your dog to run around! I love dogs and hiking, so this gig is perfect! I've had dogs in my life and had the pleasure of helping my friends raise their dogs as well. You can ensure your dog will be safe, loved and have fun when they're in my care! I usually take my dog on 2 walks or 1 long activity every day! The available days ive set, are my off days so I have the ability to be home or close to home if needed! I can take your pet on multiple walks during the day! I have a backyard with a lead so lots of time can be spent outside if theyd like!
“Eric was an awesome pet sitter for our two dogs, Mattie and Mindy, over a holiday weekend. We had a meet up prior to the dated. He provided frequent updates over the two days and provided lots of pictures of them walking, playing and sleeping. Our pets were well cared for and much appreciated. I highly recommend using Eric to take care of your pets. Thank you.”
About: I have been taking loving care of Zip, my 1.5 year old corgi. He would love to have a friend to play with during the day or overnight and I would love to watch them. I am currently between jobs so my time will be dedicated to providing a loving apartment to your dog(s). I happy to take the dog on walks/swims at the Lake Dillon nearby. My apartment is completely pet friendly since I already have a corgi. I have pet gates up to ensure dogs stay in the living room.
About: I work very part-time and not during the summer at all. I take the girls every morning on a long walk, hike or to the river to play. They come everywhere with us in the car and to the kids outings. ideally the dog we are hosting loves to hike off leash and come for car rides. Dogs must love kids (three boys ages 8, 10 and 12) and our two sweet, docile female dogs. Our dogs are never home alone more than an hour a day and roam the house when so. We also foster regularly for a local rescue but I wouldn’t overlap our foster dogs with a client. I don’t work during the summer and the rest of the year it’s very part time. We walk or hike every morning. On days that aren’t too hot the girls come with me in the car for errands and to take my kids to their activities. We have an unfenced yard and a deck. Our girls just lay in the sun but I also have a tie out if your dog isn’t perfectly trustworthy. Dogs are allowed to roam the house and sleep on any bed :) If they like their crate i’m happy to set that up for them.
About: What sets me apart is the personalized attention, patience, and genuine care I provide to every dog—especially puppies. 🐾 I understand that puppies need extra patience, supervision, playtime, and consistency while they learn and grow. I take the time to follow their routines, provide plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Pet care is ideal for me, as I am looking for a flexible way to work while doing something I truly enjoy. I love animals and would be delighted to dedicate my time to looking after dogs and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My apartment is small, but it offers a clean, quiet, and comfortable environment where your pet can feel safe and right at home. 🐶❤️ I maintain a calm, safe space with plenty of personalized attention, ensuring that every pet is supervised and well cared for throughout their stay. I understand that every pet has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I tailor my care to each one.
About: I grew up in a family that raised seeing eye dogs, so caring for dogs has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I love animals and I’m comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes, energy levels, and routines. I am also a photographer & can send you adorable pics of your cute pup(s) if you’d like. I have a very flexible schedule and lots of availability. Happy to walk or hang with your fur baby while you're away. Often available for last minute emergencies! I work as a freelance photographer, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to be available most days. I’m happy to help with regular walks, drop ins, house sitting, and last minute needs when they come up. If you have an emergency or unexpected change in plans, please feel free to reach out! I’m not currently able to host pets in my own home, but I’m happy to care for them in their home where they feel most comfortable. I’m respectful, professional, and very mindful of keeping your space clean, secure, and even better than you left it.
About: I’ve grown up always having large dogs, volunteered at my local humane society, and have lots of experience dogsitting for friends and family. Dogs bring me so much joy and I’d be happy to share my time with yours! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to walk/care for dogs in the area! I never over-schedule myself so I’m very reliable and responsible! Dogs will have plenty of activity (if okay), will be loved on and pampered, and will not be left alone for more than 2 hours.
About: I recently lost my puppy of 14 years, who was my world, so I decided to sign up to love on other dogs. I have volunteered at numerous shelters; taken training classes and first aid courses. I work from home part time, and am used to having a pup in-tow. I am almost always home and available, or outside carrying a leash. I am flexible and able to house sit and drop in. 5 min drive off I70 Exit 205 silverthorne. I know I just signed up, but am experienced and have plenty of time and space for your dog! You'll see 😁 I work from home, a few hrs per day. So that gives me a lot of flexibility and time for your pet. I am also available to house sit and do drop ins. I will provide a safe and caring home for your pup by offering daily exercise and playtime (and love), ensuring fresh food and water are always available, maintaining a clean and secure living environment, and seeking any veterinary care. I will also make sure your pet is comfortable and well loved, with plenty of attention and affection! 😊 I can send daily photos on request.
“Krystina is an amazing caregiver for our border collie! She spends a lot of quality time with her, taking her on long walks, playing with her and cuddling her. She left our home spotless too! I highly recommend Krystina for your fur babies!”

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!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
99% of sitters in Vail can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Vail. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
