“Sherry and her husband were amazing. They took wonderful care of our puppy while we went and rode the train. And we’re so grateful for all of the pictures and videos they sent while he was there. Would definitely use them again!”

About: Dogs are part of my everyday life, and I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and multi-dog households. I’m comfortable adjusting care to the individual dog rather than expecting every dog to fit the same routine. I’m experienced with puppy care, including frequent potty breaks, crate routines, feeding schedules, supervision, and reinforcing the training owners are already working on. I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs that may need a slower pace, extra patience, more frequent breaks, or a very consistent routine. I can administer medications and give injections when provided with clear instructions. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding and medication schedules and understand how important consistency can be for dogs that require ongoing care. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, bathroom habits, behavior, and overall comfort. If something seems unusual, I don’t brush it off. My goal is for owners to come home to a dog who has been safe, comfortable, and cared for according to their normal routine. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be present throughout the day. I can easily accommodate regular potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and extra attention for dogs that do better with more frequent supervision. Because I’m home much of the day, pets are not typically left alone for long stretches. I’m also able to adjust my routine around puppies, senior dogs, or pets that need a more structured schedule. Safety and routine come first. In my home, dogs are supervised, doors and gates are checked carefully, and introductions to other dogs are handled slowly rather than assuming every dog will immediately get along. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time, and I can separate dogs for feeding, rest, or quiet time when needed. I follow each owner’s instructions for meals, medications, crate routines, walks, sleeping arrangements, and house rules so their dog’s routine stays as familiar as possible. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs that need medications or injections. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I keep doors and gates secure, follow the care instructions provided, clean up after the pet, and pay attention to changes in behavior, appetite, bathroom habits, or comfort. If something seems unusual, I communicate with the owner rather than guessing.
“Sarah was wonderful to work with. Lexi tends to be a little anxious when we leave her and Sarah was patient and understanding the whole time. We highly recommend Sarah and will use her again when staying in the area.”

About: We nicknamed our home The Dachs Inn - a weenie wonderland! We’ve cared for Dachshunds for 15 years and specialize in meeting the unique needs of this breed, including dog ramps on our furniture and deck. Our home features a dog door with all-day access to a giant backyard for potty breaks, play time, sunbathing and squirrels!!! Plush dog beds are placed through the home and a giant sectional provides the perfect spot for cuddle time. Daily walks are provided, we even have a dog stroller for senior dogs or those dachshunds suffering from IVDD. I work remotely from home full time and, along with my retired husband, provide hourly drop-in care, play dates, overnight and extended boarding in our home. Additionally, I provide home visits and walking services to families located on the west side of Colorado Springs. Other locations throughout Colorado are considered on case-by-case request for extended care in your home (5 or more days). I have three dachshunds, ages 15, 10, and under 1 year. My dog-friendly home has a fenced back yard, we feed all visiting dogs separately, and can provide daily pictures of your baby’s activities. I can also provide regular weigh-ins, medications, and teeth brushing. I am very active and love going on long walks/hikes (up to three miles) upon request. While I prefer to host only smaller dogs in our home, I am open to all breeds for care at your home - including drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I kindly ask that all dogs are current on all vaccinations, including kennel cough. For medical emergencies, we are established at Westside Animal Hospital, The Animal Clinic of Woodland Park, and the Emergency Pet Center.
“Melinda was very easy to communicate with. She took excellent care of my little dog, who can be anxious around new people and other dogs. I would definitely ask her to watch my dog again in future!”


“I can't say enough nice things about Hanui. Not only did she take excellent care of my dog, but she offered additional help when I was in a bind. She and her husband are outstanding people. I am grateful to them.”

“Kevin was great with communication and took amazing care of my cotton ball! Olive enjoyed her day so much that she is already out like a light within 2mins of walking in the door💜”

“Booch spent her first day with Jocelyn. I loved getting the pictures and report. Booch was a bit nervous at first but Jocelyn was so kind. Booch was active all day with Pumpkin and is now resting. Booch can't wait for her next visit.”

“Amber was fantastic! She was incredibly friendly, and her home felt very welcoming. My dog was happy and quickly made himself comfortable. I highly recommend Amber and will definitely rebook when I'm back in Colorado Springs. She truly is the best dog sitter in the area, offering excellent service at reasonable rates. Rocky looked happier than ever!”

About: What started off as a family pet to teach me about empathy and responsibility, turned into a life-long love for animals of all kinds. From a goldfish to a golden retriever, and every animal in between ❤️ I am currently a full time remote employee so I am home 7 days a week. My job offers flexible schedules which allows me the opportunity to go for walks, play at the park, or even toss the ball around in the yard. I live in a townhome and my HOA requires all pets be leashed when outside. However, we have a dog park that is about a half mile away so it is an easy walk there and back. There are also a few trails close by that are great for an afternoon walk. I have multiple dog beds throughout my home as well as a small crate, and animals are allowed on the furniture (including the bed). I also have a basket full of toys for enrichment and provide a variety of treats (owner permitted) throughout the day. I use a gravity water dispenser so fresh, clean water is available at all times. I free feed dry food, and provide wet food on a "breakfast", "lunch", and "dinner" schedule.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 3, I’ve pet sat for family and friends. I love bully breeds and had 2 of my own their whole life. I’ve worked in healthcare for 4 years and am working on my bachelor’s in nursing! I’d love to spend some time with your furry friend! I currently go to school online! I am free all day to stop in or hang out with ur furry friends. I am happy to send as much time as you and your pet needs! I live in a 2 bedroom apartment and own a Ford Bronco that is perfect for a dog to feel the wind in their ears! I love walks and I’m happy to play fetch until your pet is pooped. I also love a cozy cuddly day in whatever your pet prefers!

About: Hi there! I’m Charlotte, and I’ve spent the last 11 years turning my love for animals into a full-blown passion. I started as a dog trainer at Petco over a decade ago, which means I speak "Dog" fluently—from bouncy puppies to those quirky breeds with big personalities. If you’re currently working on training, I’m your girl! I’d love to keep those good habits going while you’re away. I live in a cozy two-bedroom home with my partner, John, and our two boys, Odis and Pete. We have a big, fenced-in backyard that is basically a private dog park! Your pup will have a built-in playmate in Odis, who is a total social butterfly. (Our other guy, Pete, is a rescue-in-progress who prefers his own space, so he stays in a separate wing of the house to keep the environment stress-free for everyone!) I don’t just stop at dogs—I’m a fan of all creatures! Whether you have a tiny hamster, a talkative conure, or a cool reptile, they’ll get first-class love and care with me. I treat every guest like a member of our family. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur (or scale!) babies soon! Since I only work part-time (about 10–20 hours a week), my schedule is mostly wide open for what I do best: showering your fur babies with love! Whether it’s mid-day belly rubs or afternoon sun-nap sessions, I’m around to keep them company. Even if I have to pop out for a quick errand, I make it a rule to never be away for more than two hours—because I honestly miss them too much to stay away longer! Treating your pets like family isn't just a saying for me—it’s my standard! I’ll care for your fur babies with the exact same love and vigilance I give my two boys, Odis and Pete. Whether I’m in your home or mine, safety comes first. I’m a stickler for double-checking locks, following your specific feeding/medication routines to a T, and keeping a watchful eye during outdoor time. I know how tough it is to leave your heart in a stranger's hands, so expect plenty of 'puparazzi' photos and video updates! You’ll never have to wonder how they’re doing—you’ll see their happy faces right on your phone.
About: I’ve been around pets since I was 8. I have taken care of both cats and dogs off my own and others consistently since then. Neighbors, friends, and family members have always relied on me to care for their pets in their absence. I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I do not currently have a full time job, so I am available to spend most of my time caring for your dog in my home. We have a fenced in yard with privacy fence. We currently have 2 very friendly, playful and energetic medium to large sized dogs who love to make new friends.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 438 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Adelaide. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Adelaide 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.
As of October 2026, there are 438 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CO. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
