About: I have had dogs and cats nearly all of my 36 years. I have experience with walking and caring for dogs from 5 lbs to 150 lbs. I currently have a beautiful male pit bull boxer mix that loves other dogs as well. My children, ages 4 years and 9 years both love animals and would love to play with your pets! I have a very flexible schedule and enjoy going for walks. As a stay at home mother I am glad to earn some income while easing the stresses of having to be away from your pets while working or travelling. Please contact me with any questions you may have so I can start helping you and your pets today! As a stay at home mom I am quite flexible. Other than drop off and pick up times for school I am open and free. I am always cautious with new animals and slow to introduce my pets to yours if it becomes necessary. Taking cues from the animals and soft confident speech are the way to go.
“Darby is wonderful! We are proud repeat customers. Darby is flexible, responsive and super kind. I feel very comfortable leaving our girls with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone.”
“It puts my mind at ease to know that Oliver is happy and well cared for while he is staying with Rachel. He happily walks up to her when I drop him off and I appreciate the pictures she sends of him during the day.”
“Steffi is super sweet and treated my dog Honey with the love and respect any dog mom would want for their fur baby! Steffi would send me photos and videos to update me on Honey’s status, which was very reassuring. Despite having separation anxiety, Honey seemed to really enjoy her stay with Steffi! I’d highly recommend Steffi to anyone.”
“We had a really great experience! Jett & Denver were well taken care of, and it was obvious they were happy. We got tons of updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. They were also super accommodating to our pets’ needs, which made everything so much easier. Will definitely book again!”
“Alison was recommended by a friend and I used her for the first time this week. My dog doesn’t get out much and definitely loves people more than other dogs. . . And based on the picture Alison sent of my dog sleeping on her, I’d have to say that Wazel loved Alison too! We’ve already signed up to use her again.”
“The way Michael gained our dogs’ trust instantly was remarkable. He seemed to enter their world. I love my dogs so much and it was moving to see this. I’m so grateful to be able to leave my dogs in the care of such a person!”
“We were very happy with our dogs care with Pamela. Our dog got the attention and activity with other dogs that he needed while we were gone for a day. And he was tired and happy when we picked him up 😀 It was nice to receive pictures thruout the day too! Will definately use Pamela's services again for our pup!”
“My Annie just *loves* Sonia and her awesome back yard! Sonia is so kind and loving with the dogs.... a gentle spirit... that makes it so easy to leave our pet with her knowing she will be loved, played with, given the time and attention she needs. It is so comforting and a huge peace of mind, leaving Annie with Sonia. I have no worries in doing so. And the pictures throughout the day are such an added bonus! I would totally recommend Sonia to anyone looking for daycare needs for their precious pup!”
About: I am a work from home mom with 4 kids, who will love to play with your pouch! Your dog will always be entertained and given loving attention. Our family dog passed away recently and our kids are really looking forward to having your dog(s) to love and care for, while you are away. Pet sitting is the perfect opportunity for them to engage, while being comforted by their loss. I have experience with xtra large dogs, bathing, and administering medicine. Our last dog was very high need: anxiety, food allergies, dermatitis issues, etc. He required so much attention that has prepared me to adapt to the pet sitting role! I am widely available to care for your pet. I am a stay at home mom and homeschool the kids, I am almost always around to care for dog(s)! I have a large fully fenced yard your pooch can freely explore and welcome anywhere in the home. I can provide a warm snuggly bed or a quiet area if needed.
“Lisa and her family graciously took care of Milo while I was passing through town and accommodated our quick schedule. They had great energy and Milo seemed to have a wonderful time. So grateful to have found them!”
“Hi Scott, Thank you so much to you and your family! You were all awesome and took care of Olive as if she were part of the family. She felt right at home from the very first day, and the atmosphere in your home was incredibly welcoming. We truly appreciate everything you did.”
“Kristin and her little daughter took such great care of Teddy ☺️He clearly felt comfortable and had a lovely time. Communication was easy and friendly — we’d definitely trust them again!”
“I was able to drop off my dog at their home. I received lots of pictures of him enjoying his day. He fell asleep when he got home so I know he got lots of exercise and attention.”
“Outstanding and fun care. Great communication and I picked up a happy, tired pup. Excellent fenced yard and shade for 'galloping' and rest. Sitter's dog and mine were compatible. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Highly recommended.”
“Bobbie took wonderful care of our dog, Pistachio. Normally full of cattle dog energy, Chio was tired and happy when we picked her up. We’d definitely recommend Bobbie to sit your pup!”
“Jennifer is outstanding with my AJ! He has so much fun with all the other Holdens that get to also attend her great care. She and her family are a permanent fixture with us from now on 😊”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Vail commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 WA 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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 667 sitters in Vail, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
