About: I work in education and have summers (and holiday stretches) off. My dog recently passed away. He was a large / elderly / mobility-assisted / diapered / blind / medicated dog I had adopted almost 8 years ago. I had adopted a hospice dog in 2023 as well - she was a large breed with multiple cancers, so I am also familiar with that type of end of life care. I love dogs. I have used Rover often and now I would love the chance to use our empty home this summer to pet sit for others! I have an open summer! I work in education and have summers off. I do not have a schedule that I must adhere to. This is a flexible time for me. There are no other pets in our home. I know this is important for some to feel content with their pet being cared for, so this might fill a need that is harder to find!
“Large yard for our dog to play and run around, he had a great time and was tired when he got home. Danielle sent pictures throughout the day, I would definitely recommend her.”
“When my pup comes home, eats dinner and then crashes that’s the sign of a FUN day at doggy daycare! Gracie has been so tired each evening each time she has gone to Dawn & David’s! So grateful!”
“Lorraine is Amazing. Shyla loves going to her house playing with her friends and hanging out with her favorite people. Fur baby loving family Shyla will definitely use Lorraine as a home away from home”
“Definitely recommend and will use Brandi again to look after my dogs. I was able to go to work with a great sense of peace of mind knowing my fur baby was in exceptional hands. 6 stars if I could!”
“Cara is great! Rowdie loves her and gets super excited when I say “want to go see Cara”. She is flexible and sends me pics during the day of Rowdie playing and having a great time. Highly recommend!”
“Jack had a great first day of daycare. Jenna kept me up to date with texts and photos throughout the day. Her dogs are so lovely and I know my pup will sleep good tonight! Jack will be back to play again.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 and treated them as my own child! I’m experienced with medications and injuries as my own two babies have battled bronchitis and hip surgery. Family and friends rely on me for dietary and overall health of their furkids! My fur kid is my world! *Boarding and Daycare services include a daily walk (weather permitting) (This is a child free home). I’m currently working part-time and am usually home (working remotely) 2 days a week and half days the other 3. My schedule is very flexible. I walk my dogs almost daily and they have a large fenced backyard to play and roam. There is a park next to my home with many trails and parks within a 5 mile radius.
“Jake was incredibly friendly and great at providing updates throughout the day! His love of caring for my dog (and his/others) is genuine. My dog came home tired but happy!”
About: I basically grew up in a zoo (the fun kind), and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I graduated from an animal training program in my 20s, spent three years as a vet tech (I love exotics too), and now work as an RN, so your pets are in very attentive, capable hands. Over the past four years, I’ve fostered 50+ dogs, helping them feel safe, loved, and totally spoiled while they waited for their forever homes. I’m the friend everyone calls when they need a pet sitter… and I’d love to be that person for you, too! Pet care is woven into my everyday life. As a longtime foster, my days naturally revolve around walks, training, and snuggles. I am not a certified trainer, but I love to incorporate the basics for every animal in my care. This includes training with walks. Working as an RN has made me highly organized and attentive to routines, so I'm very comfortable sticking to feeding times, medication schedules, and special care instructions. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, crate time, medication, and training cues. With my background in animal training and experience as a vet tech, I'm confident handling different temperaments, reinforcing positive behaviors, and monitoring for signs of stress or illness. On walks, I focus on structured, safe outings that are both enriching and fun. I use secure leashing, stay aware of surroundings, and tailor the pace to your dog's energy level and needs. (I'm also a runner if they enjoy that).
About: Hi! I am a dog owner for many years and am eager to welcome new friends into our home to provide a stimulating environment for our high energy pet. We have a wonderful backyard space ready for pups to run wild and free and will provide no shortage of couch cuddling as well. I work from home so am able to provide frequent potty breaks and daily walks. We have a pretty open schedule to host your beloved furry friend. I have a wonderful large fenced yard and a 5 year old puppy who is the most friendly host. I can crate your dog as needed as well.
“Victoria was absolutely incredible with my dogs! Both of my pups have special needs—one wears a diaper and the other has limited mobility in her back legs—which can honestly be a lot to manage. But Victoria handled everything with so much patience, care, and genuine affection. She didn’t just meet their physical needs; she went above and beyond to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I could tell she was attentive and truly present with them throughout the day. It’s such a relief to find someone who not only understands the extra care required but embraces it with a kind heart. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Kristin was exactly what we needed and more for our young male higher energy large breed boys! She has a nice backyard for the dogs to play in in a safe, supervised environment. I felt confident leaving our 11mo male doberman and 17 mo yellow lab with her after our meet and greet; Kristin has raised and worked with many different individual dogs with different behavioral quirks and knew how to handle dog-dog greetings well when having our pups meet her own dog. Finally Kristin was very easy to communicate with and flexible. She even went and got a larger dog crate before the sit after she realized my dog wouldn’t fit her current one. Our pups seemed very content and had their high energy needs taken care of after we picked them up from daycare. Would definitely recommend and we have already booked our next daycare visit with her and her dog.”
“My golden had a great time at Monica’s place and she was prompt with her replies and sent pics throughout the day. I was late to pick up my pup and she was able to accommodate and had good communication throughout. Will definitely use her again!”
“5 stars – Amazing care for my anxious pup! I booked Nicole to watch my dog Lyric on the 4th of July because my girl is absolutely terrified of fireworks. I didn’t want to leave her alone for even a few hours, and I’m so glad I found Nicole! She was incredibly responsive to Lyric’s special needs and gave her the calm, caring environment she needed. Nicole sent me the sweetest photos of Lyric playing—and even told me about her making out with another dog (she gives lots of kisses, she’s a bit of a flirt!). Lyric was so content she didn’t even want to leave when I arrived. In fact, the fireworks had her so spooked that Papa had to carry her to the van! I felt completely at ease knowing my baby girl was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be using Nicole again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Columbine
Courtney was the best!! She and her partner Chris were both so friendly and excited to watch our dog. She sent lots of updates and so many pictures. It looked like he had such a great time on a bunch of walks and outings. We will definitely have them watch our dog again next time!
Jennifer was able to accommodate my boys at the last minute for daycare while construction dragged on at my house. She is very friendly and clearly loves animals. I received tons of photos during the day and lots of updates about what they were doing. Boys came home absolutely exhausted and all smiles.
Lottie had so much fun with Danielle! She went to day care for the first time, three days in a row and was so excited when she recognized where she was on day 2 and 3. She’s been exhausted each day and I feel so much better about her not having to be crated all day!
We did a last minute booking. And I am extremely grateful that Kaylyn responded right away. Soon as we saw her, she was super excited to dogsit our puppy Milo. You can tell she is really loving and really cares about what she does. She told us how our puppy did and how much fun he was having with her dog Boomer. I will be booking with her next time I’m in town. Thank you so much Kaylyn! ☺️
This was our first experience with Rover and with Crystal, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Our dog Beau loved spending time with her and her pup, they all got along great. Beau stayed for four days of daycare and was genuinely excited to arrive each morning, then pretty much sulked when we got home, which says it all. We would absolutely recommend Crystal and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
Coltrane just finished his first daycare with Kristin and it was obvious that he was very well taken care of and that he had a great time. Kristin is very sweet and accommodating. I felt very comfortable leaving my dog in her care and look forward to booking with her again in the future.
Jennifer is truly amazing! She took wonderful care of Mochi with lots of playtime, snuggles, and walks. From our first meet & greet, I could tell she genuinely cares for the dogs she looks after. Mochi was so happy, relaxed, and well-loved the whole time. Jennifer was attentive, reliable, and kept me updated with the sweetest photos and videos, which gave me such peace of mind. I’m so grateful for her kindness, patience, and all the extra love she gave Mochi. Highly recommend! 🐶💖

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Columbine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Columbine on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 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 .

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 Columbine 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,493 sitters in Columbine, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
