“I have a VERY high anxiety special needs dog. He was already warming up to Nyssa at the meet and greet and has now been multiple times- he LOVES it there! I am so grateful to have someone who treats my dog like her own and is gentle and patient. I also love the pictures and updates. I would recommend Nyssa to everyone! Roland can’t wait for his next visit 🐾”
“This was my first rover experience and it was great! Ava was so great and super welcoming! My doggies had a great time and I would definitely be contacting Ava anytime I’m in the Denver area 🩷”
About: I have taken care of my friends and all my families dogs by housing, grooming or walking. I used to show dogs be a junior handler and train all kinds of dogs for obedience, confirmation and agility. We work from home, so we are home all day and week. We have a 5 year old cane corso and a 1 year old winner dog both males and a 12 year old female cat. I let out my dogs whenever they want to go outside they get fed twice a day morning and night. They get new toys every month from bark box. We used to make dog food but our dogs are picky and don’t like the same food all the time.
“Absolutely great!!! I am so happy I found Jessie! My dog Sasha was well cared for, I know! Picture updates throughout the day and worn out pup in the evening! Will definitely use again!”
About: I’m a lifelong pet owner with experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I previously worked at a veterinary clinic, where I cared for pets with a wide range of needs, including feeding, walking, medicating, and supporting animals that were injured, anxious, or recovering. I treat every pet like family and aim to keep them happy, comfortable, and well cared for in their own routine. At home I have a 3-year-old Great Pyrenees who is dog reactive, so I’m very familiar with handling animals with behavioral needs and using patience, structure, and awareness to keep everyone safe and comfortable. I also work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m available for drop-in visits and walks on most weekends and holidays. I’d love to get to know your pet and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away! I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine and allows me to be very flexible and attentive. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins, and I can adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s specific needs. I’m available for drop-in visits and walks on most weekdays and weekends, as well as most holidays. Because I’m home often, pets in my care get plenty of supervision, attention, and consistency throughout the day. In my home, I provide a calm, structured, and pet safe environment for both dogs and cats, with a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time for dogs. I take introductions between animals slowly and thoughtfully based on each pet’s comfort level and temperament, and I make sure cats have their own safe, quiet spaces to relax. Because I have experience with a reactive dog, I am very mindful of body language, boundaries, and creating a low stress environment for all pets. I can separate animals when needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any medications, so they feel secure in their own space. I am attentive to home safety as well, such as locking doors and securing leashes or harnesses, and I always provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Ralphie had the time of his life and was sleeping standing up on the way home! Awesome setup, great service, responsive, friendly and helpful. Thanks so much to Chris, I'm sure Ralphie will be super excited to visit again.”
About: I have been around animals most of my life so im a big animal lover. I can guarantee that your pet will have all the love and care they need while you are away. im so excited to be able to help you care for your fur baby and you can rest assured that they are in good hands. leaving your pet with someone can be nerve wrecking and im here to ease that for you. I can send you updates and pictures so show you that they are well taken care of. im a stay at home mom and would love to help out where I can. I can give all the attention they need and will treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard. i have a very friendly dog who would love to play. I also have a cat but he mostly roams outside, he is very friendly too. will provide crate if needed up to medium sized pet.
About: I'm looking to board fun and energetic dogs. I have a large backyard and a very respectful and energetic spayed female. My ideal situation is to find dogs that are respectful and love to interact with other dogs. Weve had Tina since she was just a puppy. She's able to walk off leash and does very well with dogs around her size. Our home is safe, we have several crates and a gate. Our backyard is large and we just got a new fence to help keep the pups in. Our neighborhood is very quiet and safe as well. You'd feel comfortable arriving and leaving. We monitor play and potty breaks and also have a camera in the backyard. Open, just let me know and I will try to make it happen. Overnight works and just to stop by in the day as well. All care will be done by me. All walks, supervision, feeds, and so on. I will be the only point of contact. My backyard is large and has a newly installed fence. I have several crates in our home to house your pet if requested. Tina enjoys running around and doesn't play with her mouth. She loves to run in circles with other dogs and doesn't not have a history of aggression. She is spayed as well.
“Krissy was super easy to communicate with and was great with our dog, Daphne! She took her on walks and sent us pictures/updates throughout the day. Daphne was well taken care of and had a fantastic day! We will definitely rebook with Krissy for future pet care needs!”
About: My partner Matt and I recently had our 14 year old husky cane corso mix named Millie pass away. We had her since she was a small puppy and tried our best to give her the best life full of hikes, treats and love. We're not ready to permanently fill our home, so we are wanting to support other pet parents while they are away. We understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets while away, especially if they are older and have medical needs. We have experience with injectable medication, oral medication, and urinary incontinence. Millie was a people friendly lady, but did not like other animals, so we are very well versed in that sort of aggression and how to handle those situations. I work hybrid-remote and my partner works from home, so someone will be home at all times. A doggy door gives your pet access to a fenced backyard and frequent potty breaks at their convenience. One household's pet(s) at a time ensures your pet(s) receives our full care and attention without the stress of unfamiliar pets. We live in a safe and quiet neighborhood giving your dog access to safe walks with many new smells. Your pet's comfort is our priority, we have comfortable dog beds for every room, and their choice of couch to lay on. We know training a pet is tough work, any pet boundaries, routines, or food restrictions will be upheld; let us know of any. If your pet suffers from anxiety, we also offer doggie daycare so they can get used to our home in a short term setting before their longer overnight stay. They can be reassured that whenever you leave, you always come back :)
“Jess has been absolutely amazing with my dog, Flora, for our weekly care. Flora became instantly comfortable with Jess and her family because they treat her like one of their own. Jess is flexible, very responsive, and incredibly trustworthy. I feel completely comfortable leaving my pup with her, knowing she’s in such good hands. I’m so grateful to have found someone Flora loves and feels so comfortable with!”
“Kimber has taken care of our puppy, Lolo, on several occasions (day care and overnight boarding). While away on our family trip, Kimber kept us posted as to how Lolo was doing and sent pictures. We are extremely happy to have found a very caring sitter!!”
About: I have cared for pets for friends and family throughout the years, including paid pet sitting arrangements. My experience comes primarily from a lifetime of caring for animals and being a pet owner myself. Throughout my life, I have always had a natural love and connection with animals. In my teenage years, I also volunteered at a local animal shelter. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy and take seriously. I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same patience, attention, and care that I would want for my own pets. Pet sitting fits naturally into my weekday routine. I am available for walks and drop-in visits Monday-Friday from 8:45–10:45 AM and 5:00–7:00 PM. I plan my day around these timeframes so I can provide dependable, consistent care without rushing. I enjoy spending time with animals, so walks, playtime, feeding, and providing companionship are things I genuinely look forward to. I am also happy to work with each pet’s established routine, including their normal feeding schedule, bathroom needs, exercise level, and any other care instructions provided by their owner. For cats, I understand that care often looks a little different. I focus on keeping their environment clean, comfortable, and familiar while making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and attention based on their individual personality. Some cats want lots of interaction and playtime, while others prefer a little space and quiet companionship. I am happy to follow their lead and their owner's instructions. I understand that every pet is different, and my goal is to make their time without their family as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Treating your fur-baby with the same love as one of my own pets is my priority! When I am at a client's home, my goal is to keep their pet's environment safe and clean. I can allow space to adjust at their own pace and feel secure while their owner is away, or give lots of cuddles and playtime. Totally optional and dependent on the animal! For every visit, I keep each owner's contact information, veterinarian information, emergency instructions, and medication details readily accessible throughout their pet's stay. At my own home, if your dog needs some time alone, becomes overwhelmed, or does not do well around other animals, I can provide a separate space where they can feel safe and comfortable. I can also easily accommodate crate-trained dogs or dogs whose owners specifically request crating.

ANYSSA WAS GREAT! She sent pictures throughout the day which I loved. Aaron had so much fun and exhausted when I got him home. I would use her again in the future if the need arrises. I felt confident that my little boy was in good hands and didn't worry about him at all. Thank you Anyssa!
We submitted a last-minute request for a daytime booking, and we were so grateful that Clay and Taylor accepted! Rusty had stayed with them a few months ago, so it was great to know the door was open for him to return again :) We needed to drop him off quite early, but they were ok with that, and sent updates throughout the day. It’s comforting to know that Rusty receives such great care and attention, and is able to hang out with Copper. Thank you so much again, Clay and Taylor! :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Derby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 4,543 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Derby. 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 Derby 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 4,543 sitters in Derby, 85% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
