“Raye was fantastic. Extremely communicate both in the booking process and while she was watching our dog. Our puppy came home happy and very tired from a fun day of playing in the snow. Will definitely call Raye when we’re back in Golden next.”
“Lauren and Lukas were so great!! They were able to watch Nellie last minute and answered my request almost immediately! They were flexible with timing, kept in contact, and sent me photos all throughout the day. Nellie definitely had a full day of zooming around their yard haha and was sound asleep when we picked her up. I would highly recommend them :)”
About: Cats are amazing companions! They're low-maintenance, affectionate, and full of personality. With their playful antics and cuddly nature, they bring joy and comfort to many homes. Whether they're lounging in the sun or chasing a toy, cats know how to live life to the fullest! 🐱💕 Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I allocate specific times for feeding, walking, playtime, and administering medication (if needed). I also make time for cuddles and relaxation, ensuring each pet feels loved and attended to. My flexible schedule allows me to accommodate pets' unique needs and rhythms, providing a sense of security and comfort. Whether it's a mid-day check-in or an overnight stay, I'm committed to providing top-notch care and attention. I care for pets in client's homes with utmost attention to safety, trust, and environment. Here's how: - *Safety First*: I conduct a thorough risk assessment of the environment, removing any hazards or toxic substances. I ensure gates are secure, and windows are closed to prevent escape or injury. - *Comfort Zone*: I create a cozy and comfortable space for pets, complete with familiar bedding, toys, and treats. I maintain a clean and hygienic environment, adhering to strict sanitation standards. - *Trust Building*: I take time to build trust with each pet, learning their habits, likes, and dislikes. I provide gentle handling, calm interactions, and plenty of affection. - *Client Communication*: I keep clients informed about their pet's activities, appetite, and any issues that may arise. I also welcome feedback and requests, ensuring their pet receives the best care possible. - *Emergency Preparedness*: I have a emergency plan in place, including a list of contacts, a first-aid kit, and a backup power source (if needed). By following these guidelines, I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for pets in my care.
About: I have naturally by word-of-mouth become an animal sitter/house sitter in my sweet community of Golden, BC! It fills my heart with joy and I love meeting people & their beautiful pets! Cats, dogs, lizards, chickens! I am only working the weekend evenings during Spring/Summer 2026 as well as Monday & Tuesday mornings- so I have plenty of time for loving your animals, my partner will also be around. It is such a wonderful thing to be able to exercise and meet such loving animals all at once :) I am open to all sorts of care & instructions. I have worked with a variety of care requirements. It is all about what you are comfortable with.
About: Growing up we have always had multiple dogs. I have two of my own dogs Marley and Gina. Walking and exercising them is very high in my list and important to me. My family growing up relied on me to feed, walk, and take them outside. Im currently working part time with very casual hours. I am free most days during the day and evenings. I would be able to take care of you dogs or cats. We have a fenced in yard at our house. Two dogs that are friendly and love meeting and playing with other dogs. I can identify aggressive behaviours in dogs and when they have had enough. I will strictly follow rules that owners have, you know your pets best!!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Golden
Ayla did an amazing job with my fur baby. She was able to watch him on such a short notice. I highly recommend booking with her to care for your fur pup. We are from out of town and wanted to check out the Skybridge with the family so it was perfectly convenient to drop him near the location and to be within reach. The photos were great to see that he was doing just fine!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Golden on Rover is $72.15 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's leash and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalized care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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!
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 Golden 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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.
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.
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 BC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as the DHPP or DA2PP, Rabies, and Bordetella.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
