“Donaji was incredible! I booked with her as a first time client and she gave me such a peace of mind with plenty of pictures and updates about how my dog was doing. Very responsive and reliable. She also took the time to do a doggy meet up before booking. 10/10 recommend”
“Lindsay & Joshua were great!! They really made me feel comfortable leaving my pup there for the first time with lots of pics and updates. Mooney also got along with their dog which was the cherry on top. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Breanne was extremely attentive to both our young and older dogs. She sent multiple pictures throughout their stay that showcased how comfortable they were with the environment. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was amazing! Our 14 month old pup, Sunshine and our 8 year old lab, Zoey stayed with Stephanie while we were out of town for several days and they had the best time. She sent us tons of photos and videos, updating us on their stay and how they were doing. It was so great to see them meeting new dog friends and getting quality time with Stephanie and her husband. They showed our girls such love and care and we’ll definitely be reaching out to her again the next time we need a sitter. Thank you so much!”
“Kristy and Nathan were awesome dog parents to our Miya! I can tell by the communication and how Miya was when we picked her up that she really enjoyed her time there. I really appreciate how she was welcomed as part of the family - she was so happy there! Highly recommend Kristy and Nathan!!!!”
“Gabriela was wonderful with S'mores! She kept us updated with pictures and was extremely welcoming and warm with our puppy. Will definitely stay with her again!”
“Jessie is great. Communicating with her was a breeze. Meeting up was easy. She made sure to send pics and to tell me how my dog is doing while I was away. I definitely want to book with her again next time.”
“Tyler is the BEST! We feel so fortunate to have met him for Gucci’s stay. He took a great care of Gucci and spoiled him with love, cuddles and walks. We were able to go on a vacation with peace of mind knowing that Gucci was in safe hands and truly loved. Thank you, Tyler!!”
“Ray and Amy were great! Second time using them. I accidentally booked the wrong dates. I was still on a work trip when I was supposed to pick the dogs up and they graciously kept them both one more day. I was very grateful.”
“Liz and her partner have been awesome as always. We are so grateful to have them to watch our pup. We get photo updates and she is quick to respond if we have any questions. It’s clear she loves our dog as her own!”
“Niki took fantastic care of Lucy! When we arrive Lucy gets excited and after we leave I get nothing but the cold shoulder and attitude! I definitely recommend Niki for a home away from home for you pup!”
“What a wonderful experience! She was so good to my 6 month old puppy for 9 nights and I swear he came back more well behaved. She gave us updates every day and he was very happy and healthy when we picked him up. She was also incredibly understanding when our flight was majorly delayed which took a lot of stress off of an already stressful situation. Can’t go wrong here - highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with Alyssa, fantastic communication, was graciously very flexible with our booking times and Bob absolutely loved her, she’s easily our first choice for rebooking when needed. Thank you!”
“Jessie was very responsive and flexible with our schedule. She sent pictures and updates every day. Wilson really enjoyed himself! Would absolutely use her again!”

“Rene did an exceptional job watching my pup and have already rebooked her multiple times for the future. Communication was great and my pup didn’t seem to want to leave!”
“Jacky and Andrew are the best! One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and he does great with them. They always send pictures and I genuinely feel like they care about our dogs. Would recommend them to anyone!”
“Nate and his family were wonderful and did an amazing job of taking care of Lucy during our week+ trip. You can tell they really cared for Lucy and loved her like she was their own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise 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 Watkins home-away-from-home, 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 Watkins.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Watkins 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 , 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 .
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.
