“Cory did a great job with our 8 year old goldendoodle. Drop off and pickup was very smooth. We also received a photo during the stay which definitely helped as this was our first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving our pup with someone I don’t know!”
“Felicia and Ethan were amazing with our dog Ronald! Would give 6 stars if I could. They were so patient with our dog who is a bit shy around strangers and by the end of the stay he had a big tuckered smile from a long walk and lots of fetch. Their little dog Ellie was also very patient and welcoming to our younger high energy dog.”
“Anna’s dog day care was amazing! We received lots of pics and videos during the day and I was able to rest easy at work knowing that my puppy was being taken such good care of. She even went on a walk in addition to the dogs getting to play out in a big yard most of the day. Anna is very trustworthy and reliable.”
About: We share our home with a 15 years young, grumpy old-man Chihuahua, a 7-year old Chihuahua mix, and a new Husky-mix puppy. Dogs provide us with so much love and kindness on a daily basis, that's why I believe we should offer that same kindness back to them! Rochelle has been caring for dogs for well over a decade, from totally healthy to those needing special care (medicine, slower walks, special feeding requirements). In general, our pups get along great with low-energy dogs and low-energy dogs are ideal clients! Though, the puppy can also help us with higher energy pups. Rochelle works from home full time. We REQUIRE a meet and greet prior to booking new clients, no exceptions. Due to medical concerns, Rochelle is only able to care for small to medium size dogs for the safety of your dog(s) and my own safety. Willing to consider dogs who are larger in size only if they have completed intensive behavioral training (such as therapy dog training or hunting dog training) in which your dog will respond to commands 100% of the time. Thank you for your understanding. Note: I had a name change in 2024 from Caitlyn to Rochelle. Ben was added to the account in 2026. We’re happy to share our home with pups!
About: Hello! My name is Kelly. I am completing my masters degree online this fall . I will be home most of the time until December 2026. I have a big heart for animals of all breeds and personalities. I have over 50 volunteer hours working at my local animal shelter when I was in high school and many more hours spoiling my own pup. I've worked with big dogs, small dogs, and every dog in between! I've also cared for senior dogs. I also have one dog at home, but my husband and I are planning on bringing home another in October! At this time, I am only accepting small to medium dogs for boarding. I strongly believe that every creature deserves dignity and respect. In my experience, our little critters do as much for us as we do for them. I am a full-time student finishing my master's degree online. Playtime, walks, and snuggles will easily fit between my schoolwork and assignments. Dog time is already a part of my schedule due to my own pup. I live in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees for your pup to enjoy. I do not have a backyard, but I have easy access to grassy areas. I will treat your dog like my own and surround them with love, connection, and care.
“Alondra and Diego were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They agreed to a meet-and-greet and Dio seemed immediately at home with them. We look forward to Dio spending more time with them in the coming months!”
“Kimberly and Brad are always so wonderful treating Leo as their own. He always has a great time playing with everyone there. They always take great photos and are great with communicating. Highly recommend!”
“Sophie handled a concern I had as the pet parent with great care and compassion. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing care for their animals. She went above and beyond !”
“Macha has now stayed with Kenneth two times, and I think she loves playing there with his two other dogs! He is good about keeping me informed about how she's doing and sending me photos as well. I was sad that I couldn't be with her for Christmas, but they made sure she was taken care of and gave her lots of toys and treats that I left there for her. I'm glad Macha feels happy and comfortable staying with Kenneth, and I would definitely take her back next time we have to go away. Thanks for taking care of my baby girl!!”
“Zevon has a great stay at Kristi’s! Big back yard for him to run around and play w other dogs. He even took a field trip to the local park. Would definitely use Kristi again!”
“Makayla is awesome! Super easy to coordinate with, quick to respond, and took really good care of my girl. Makayla’s dog is very low key and friendly, and my dog got on great with him! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
About: My husband and I were both raised with multiple dogs of varying sizes throughout our lives. Mostly with yorkshire terriers, bichon frises, labs, and collies. We have both done agility training with our dogs in the past & trained at home in basic tasks such as sit, stay, etc. I'm a therapist working from home Monday-Thursday & off Fridays. my partner Chris works in clinic Monday-Friday. Being around animals is a major form of self care for us, so we find it relaxing and fulfilling to care for these family members while you are away. We both have experience administering oral medication and watching special needs dogs as well. We work hard to build relationships with clients and their families in order to build a trusting bond with owners before and after caring for their pets. We also trade lodging for pet care on trusted house sitters as well & absolutely love it. I own my practice & am remote full time, I let my dog out every three hours, sometimes more often if I have less sessions. We have a beautiful reservoir we walk around every morning that’s about 1.75 miles round trip from our front door and back. We are home every few hours on weekends to let dogs out. Pets are allowed to roam throughout our townhome unless otherwise specified by the owner. Pets are allowed on all furniture. We have beard-friendly water bowls on each floor of our home. Our dog sushi is a good mixture of playful but can also be lazy & relaxed. Dogs can be let out hourly.
About: My husband and I dearly miss the company and compassion of our golden retriever and collie. So, missing having a pet around, we have joined Rover as a to be able to extend our warmth to other people's pets. We like to express ourselves to a dog/puppy through cuddling, brushing, belly rubs, and active walks that delight them. We have a third-of-an-acre, fully fenced-in backyard (see our pics!) as well as an array of large public parks within a mile of our house. And we have to mention the nice doggy pool we have added! We are well accustomed to attending to feeding schedules, walking schedules, and hugging time (always). As my husband and I are both at home 24/7, we keep a close eye and ear on the barking and tail wagging, and we don't leave the pet unattended for a minute. We are a couple in midlife who have oodles of time to spend attending to a pet. We have a large fenced-in yard (1/3 acre), a large doggy pool, and multiple city parks within walking distance. Over the past 12 years, we have had our two loving dogs together, and they have trained us well to be attentive to potty breaks, exercise and romping, meal times, occasional snacks, and cuddles.
“Sam is always the best!! Elphege loves going over for daycare and is so well cared for. Sam sends tons of photos and he’s always having a blast in them.”
“Lauryn is fantastic. She takes great care of my 5 month old puppy. The updates are super fun to see. You can tell she really loves animals in the way she cares for them. Definitely recommend!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Ol. It seems like he got along really well with Smile and had a great time! I look forward to booking with you again.”
About: We would love to watch your dog! We have plenty of space in our fenced yard for the dogs to play and relax. We also have plenty of trails nearby to take them on walks! My wife and I both work from Holme with a flexible schedule. We can accommodate for you and your pets needs whether you are traveling for work or just heading out of town for the weekend! We have a fenced yard and 1 dog we can happily accommodate your Pup whether they need to be crated or not we have you covered!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Applewood
Can’t ask for much better if you are looking for a sitter. Ace had a great time with Ashley and her pup Lucy. Ashley was extremely accommodating and allowed for an early morning drop off on a Sunday which was a huge help. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day, and Ace was happy as could be when I picked him up. 10/10 would recommend.
Adrian was amazing with Otis and so nice to work with. She took daycare with him on pretty last minute but you couldn’t tell it was any inconvenience because she spent a full day of activities and of her time with him. She really cares for animals and was so kind to us, she is an amazing sitter!
Sthefany and Jeshael were very punctual, took great care of my pup, and were flexible with my schedule, which was really nice. It made things stress-free since I didn’t have to worry about sticking to a strict pickup and drop-off time. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Applewood on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Applewood 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 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 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.

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.
