“Gus LOVED his time here. He got to play all day and every picture looked like the happiest guy on the block! It was also evident how much he loved it when I picked him up.. he didn’t want to leave! The only time he does that is with his foster mom. I would trust them any other time as they clearly made a paradise for my boy. Also their dog is so sweet and clearly a happy pup who loves to play. Last, great communication throughout the day!! Thank you again, Jessica!”
“Tatum was so sweet with Piper and very responsive to our last minute request! I wouldn’t hesitate to bring Piper back to her again for any future stays. She seemed to have a great time with her!”
“Rui and her partner did a great job caring for my dog with separation anxiety. They were very accommodating and easy to work with. Rui was very communicative throughout the stay, sending pictures and a report card of their day together. It is a relief to know that I can trust them to meet the special needs of my dog. I recommend them and will be using their services again myself too!”
“Elizabeth was so easy to coordinate with, which was really helpful during a little bit of a chaotic day of scheduling. I so appreciate her flexibility. Merlin had an awesome day!!”
“Alison did an incredible job caring for Ari and making sure she had the best day with new dog friends! Ari had previous less than ideal experiences at doggy daycare, so we are so grateful to Alison for helping us rewrite that narrative for Ari.”
“Thomas is the best! He is so kind and trustworthy. He takes my dog three days per week for exercise while I am on maternity leave, and he has been so caring and dependable! His love of animals really shines through!”
“Tigran was easy to communicate with and was able to take care of Ruby on short notice. It seems she had a great time and was well taken care of!”
About: Hi, I’m Eva! I’ve spent over 12 years caring for animals—everything from my neighbors' pets to my own beloved dogs and horses. I also have hands-on experience training both dogs and horses, which has taught me a lot about patience, communication, and animal behavior. As a college student without pets of my own right now, I truly miss being around animals. That’s why I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and give them all the attention, love, and playtime they deserve! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my mornings and evenings around feeding, walks, and playtime. On a weekly basis, I also make time for grooming, enrichment activities, and longer walks or hikes. I love being active, so integrating pet care into my day never feels like a chore, it’s something I genuinely look forward to. Caring for animals fits into my life because it’s something I’m passionate about and prioritize every day. In both my home and my client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for pets. I always follow any specific routines or instructions provided by the owner whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or walking routes. I give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. Cleanliness, consistency, and communication are really important to me, so I also keep the home super clean!
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to check in on, feed, walk, and play with their pets. I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their people are away. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m currently balancing caregiving responsibilities while building a new business, which gives me a flexible schedule. I have availability for weekday walks, drop-ins, and visits, as well as weekend boarding with advance scheduling. I’m able to give pets plenty of individual attention and care. I have a small fenced-in yard and one friendly dog who can provide companionship for pets who enjoy being around other dogs. I provide a safe, calm, and caring home environment and will follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and specific care instructions. I’m also comfortable with crating when needed and understand how important it is to treat every pet with patience, attention, and care.
“J’Ana took absolutely amazing care of our dog, Scout, tonight while we were out for dinner. She was so attentive to Scout’s every need — from taking her on walks, to bonding with her, to sending thoughtful updates that made us feel completely at ease. It was clear Scout felt comfortable, cared for, and genuinely happy in her company. We’re incredibly grateful for J’Ana’s kindness, reliability, and the way she connected with Scout right away. We’re already excited for Scout to spend time with her again tomorrow. Highly recommend!”
About: Although I am long distance from my fur best friends right now, I’ve grown up caring for dogs my entire life, including senior dogs and pups with disabilities. I also raised a rambunctious yellow Lab puppy on my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every dog deserves patience, love, and attentive care, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. As a college student, I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love—caring for animals. My class schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to relax indoors. There is almost always someone home to provide attention, companionship, and care, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am a caring, responsible household and will treat your pet like a member of the family while they’re in my care.
About: I have two big labs of my own and love caring for dogs! I’m open to any type of dog (big, small, loud, quiet, shy…) I am a student at CU, so I work around classes for pet care. Please send me a request and I will do my best to be there! I offer walking, drop in visits, and pet sitting. I can either have your dogs at my house when you need them out of yours (preferred), or am happy to come over to sit them. I do walks as well, from 30 minutes to an hour. I can walk them locally or take them to trials- whatever you prefer! Your dogs will always have water and be ready to rest up after our walks!
“Liliana did a great job with our dog. We didn’t have coverage with our usual sitter and she was able to accommodate us on short notice. Our dog is nervous in new situations and she took time to meet him in advance so he’d be familiar with her. She was very responsive leading up to and during the visit; she kept us informed of how he was settling in and sent pictures during the day. He’s a low key dog and we appreciated having a quiet place for him to be where he’d get walks and naps. Would recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 15 years, including my own senior dog who is now 17. I’m experienced with older dogs and the extra care they need, as well as energetic puppies and young dogs. I love long walks, gentle routines, and giving each dog attention based on their age and personality. I’m a university student with a very flexible schedule and a quiet home life. I can work from home or campus and easily return for walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I live in a calm, pet-friendly flat with an open floor plan, balcony, and access to a small fenced garden downstairs, plus a park less than a minute away. Dogs are welcome to sleep on the bed, in their own bed, or in a crate if preferred.
About: I have grown up with dogs and have loved them for all of my life. I have experience in pet sitting for neighbors and relatives and would like to branch out. I am currently work at a veterinary clinic in addition to classes. Spending time with dogs, while out on an adventure or chilling on the couch is something I have always loved doing. I provide standard dog care and other duties, and am capable of giving medications if need be. I have a special place for my heart for dogs of all sizes breeds and ages.
“Charissa is the absolute best! She is amazing with dogs! As soon as I open the car door, my dog is out the door and sprinting towards her house. She doesn’t even look back! So lucky to have Charissa nearby us.”
“Brian was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Blu! He was extremely inviting with my last minute bookings and took awesome care of my pup. I could clearly tell that my dog loved being around him and the second day he spent with Brian he was not only excited when we pulled up but also visibly sad to leave him for the day. Would love to have Blu back with Brian soon! He also gave me some awesome tips for getting some of his extra energy out!”
“Heather and her family exceeded my expectations! It was like leaving your children with family. They have such a warm and friendly environment and treat your pets as their own. Thank you so much!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Boulder
Ilze, David and Ellie are such a good crew!! We have a little rescue dog who has very particular needs, and they took such good care of her. They have a perfect setup for a small dog, with little toys, little beds, and a nice big yard (for a little dog). Our Pippa is becoming fast friends with Ellie, who is so gentle and sweet. We feel lucky!
Alison unsurprisingly fostered a swift and secure connection with Lulu, despite Lulu’s general skittishness. My sister had actually met Alison prior and I knew from her description that Lulu would feel safe and right at home there, between Alison’s beautiful skill w/and connection to dogs & the cute pups with whom Lulu got to socialize and exercise. I received cute update photos and am so happy to have a spot in keewaydin where I know Lulu can get incredible care.
While we spent the day touring Rocky Mountain National Park, Andrea took Mimoso to a local festival, and he had the best time. He soaked up tons of attention and came back happy and worn out in the best way. I loved knowing he was out having his own adventure. Andrea clearly went above and beyond to make sure my boy had fun. She included him in everything.
We were visiting Boulder and took our dog with us and was lucky to find Liv. She always (proactively) sent photos of my baby and took him on walks and hikes and I can just see how excited and happy my baby was! Liv just had an aura that she loves dogs and that put me at ease to leave my baby with her, all day for 2 days. Thanks for taking care of my baby Liv.
Jessica is fantastic! I had to find overnight dog-sitting last minute and she was super responsive and flexible! She sent great updates and photos, which was so nice to get throughout the day ☺️ Moose loved the big yard and belly scratches! I will definitely be using Jessica again for dog-sitting in the future.
Stephanie was absolutely wonderful! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was incredibly kind, responsive, and communicative from start to finish, and she sent thoughtful updates throughout the day that gave me so much peace of mind. My dog, Nellie, can be pretty sensitive, and Stephanie was so patient and caring with her. It’s clear she has a natural way with dogs and creates an environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I felt completely at ease leaving Nellie in her care, which is saying a lot. I would recommend Stephanie without hesitation and will absolutely book with her again!
We were delighted to meet Keren and have her sit our dog Harper today! Harper had a fun filled day with her and her dog Milo. They took walks in the parks and also just hung out, Harper's two favorite things! While in Boulder she would be our choice of sitters and will reach out again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Boulder is $39 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $56 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,676 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Boulder. 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 Boulder 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 3,676 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 .
