“We have used Donaji twice now and about to make it a third. She is amazing with her communication and updates. The first time I contacted her, I think I received a response within 5 minutes. Our pups come home exhausted and happy as can be and have even made some new friends under Donaji's care. :)”
“Imelda was fantastic! It was the first time we had used her for Bernie, our Cavapoo. Bernie is very shy, so I always worry about him when I leave for travel. He did great! Imelda sent pictures every day, and I could tell he was doing fine. It made me feel comfortable knowing I left him with a very competent and loving dog sitter. We will use her again!”
“Our pup loved being with Lindsey and Josh! They were very attentive and took great care of him! The pictures they sent every day were amazing and gave such peace of mind that our boy was in great loving hands.”
“Breanne was very friendly and welcoming of Anya. She took really good care of her and also has a large wonderful house for a dog to be comfortable. This was our first Rover reservation and Breanne went above and beyond to ensure that we feel safe leaving Anya with her. I would highly recommend reaching out to her in case you need help for your dog(s). Thank you, Breanne!”
“Stephanie and her family go above and beyond each time our dog, Winston, stays with them! Our boy can be a bit of a picky eater and she is constantly trying to find ways to get him to eat more so he stays well energized and nourished while we are gone. Truly cannot recommend her care enough!!”
“Kristy really stayed in contact while I was out of town! She has a great backyard and Edith seemed really happy! I would absolutely use her and her family again!”
“Always great! Gabriela has taken such good care of my pup when we leave town. He loves seeing her and playing with her dogs! Super responsive and kind throughout. Highly recommend reaching out to her to sit your dog 😀”
“Briana kept me informed daily about how my pups were doing and sent many great photos! She also informed me of a couple of minor issues they had while in her care. Husker and Sadie came home tired:)🐾🐕🦺”
“I loved having Ryan and his wife take care of our dog, Gabby. This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous. Ryan and his wife offered to meet in person at their house first. They were both super sweet, kind, and reassuring. I don’t think I’ve ever met two people who love dogs as much as they do. During Gabby’s stay we got many messages, pictures and videos. Ryan’s wife even crocheted Gabby a sweater. I would 100% recommend Ryan for any of your pet’s needs. We will definitely be using him again. Thanks, Ryan!”
“Hawley had a great time during her extended stay, she is an anxious dog that is not apart from us regularly but Ray and Amy made her feel at home. We got pictures and updates daily. Really thankful for the care!”
“Liz took great care of Reese! She sent me a photo or a video every day and answers any questions I had. Her dog Benji was super cute and played well with my puppy. I will reach out to Liz again for help in the future!”
“Corey and Craig watched our 3 year old dog for a long weekend and we couldn’t be happier with how everything worked out! Corey was super responsive and easy to reach, sent nice updates, and drop off/pick up was a breeze. We are so lucky to have found Corey and Craig as we will absolutely be sending requests their way in the future! Thank you guys so much for watching Blue, I’m betting she’s missing her vacation already!”
“Sevana was absolutely amazing with my dog, Kage. From the very first meet-and-greet, she was warm, attentive, and made him feel comfortable right away. The two dogs she already had at her home were great with Kage too, even though he can be a little hyper around other dogs since he isn’t fixed yet. Throughout my entire trip, she kept me updated, and everyone got along perfectly — no issues at all. What really blew me away was how she handled a last-minute curveball. Literally the day before my trip, Kage got really sick and I had to rush him to the vet for X-rays. They said it was likely a minor stomach issue and sent him home with medications and instructions to stay on a bland diet. I had to tell Sevana all of this the night before I was supposed to leave, and she didn’t hesitate for a second. She told me it was totally fine, that she would take care of everything, and she absolutely did. She gave him his meds, kept him on his special diet, and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. I’m extremely grateful for having such a thoughtful, dependable, and caring sitter. I felt completely at ease knowing Kage was in her hands. I would 100% recommend Sevana to anyone — and her prices are great too. She’ll definitely be my go-to sitter from now on.”
“It’s obvious that Cindy really loves pets, and cares about putting pet parents at ease while we’re away from our pups. My girl was smiling in every photo and is currently worn out (in the best way) from all the play time and attention. The proximity to the airport is a bonus!”
“Patricia is the BEST !!! When I met her for meet and greet I was confident that Simba will get the tremendous love and care which he deserves . He was staying in her house very happy and relaxed just like his own house. He got full attention and enjoyed mini vacation there. Patricia and John were very nice, kind and caring for my Simba! I will love to take Simba for my next vacation if get a chance.”
“Valeria took very good care of our Australian Shepherd mix while we where on vacation. Pippin loved having the love and attention. Valeria has also been an amazing walker and makes sure our pup gets the exercise she needs.”
“Sarah has been taking care of my baby for several months now and she has been an absolute blessing. She is gentle, caring and the whole family is amazing, including their four legged baby Marley. my baby loves the family and Sarah's other clients and I consider this as a definite blessing”
“Recently moved from CA to CO and never had anyone other than family watch our almost 13yo baby. Well, I can definitely say that this booking exceeded my expectations. I had an early flight to catch and Nate was amazing accommodating dropping her off early. His home is so cozy and warm it really did feel like leaving my baby with a family member. Nate and his family were wonderful sitters. I was getting daily updates with pictures and my dog absolutely loved his kids. Can't wait to book again. Thank you Nate!”

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.
