“Marcy was a wonderful dog sitter for our 5 year old bulldog. We were able to hike the Rockies with no worries and plenty of updates throughout the day! Marcy was friendly and quick to respond and my dog barely wanted to leave by the end of the day!”
“I booked last minute on 4th of July and thankfully Emily was available! This was mine and Stella’s first time using a dog sitter and so I was mostly nervous lol. But Emily communicated throughout Stella’s entire visit and shared photos which made me feel more at ease. Thank you, Emily!”
“Wonderful people we found to watch our old pup Carlton while we adventured in RMNP. Great family very flexible and easy going. It was great getting photos of our pup having a fun time with them while we were searching for moose and chasing waterfalls. Highly recommend!”
“Our puppy was right at home with Shy! It was our girl’s first day away from us and she had a wonderful time. She didn’t even want to leave when we went to pick her up? Will definitely be a return customer!”
“George,Abigail, Mac and Gus did such a great job of making Luna feel at home with them. She came home tired and happy from a fun day. I would happily recommend their services.”
About: Some unique dog care facts about me: -I have owned and loved 5 dogs their full lifespans throughout my 30 years of life -I can work well with other animals being in your home, because I grew up on a ranch with chickens, cats, goats, ducks, etc. -I can handle disputes between dogs, and can love on rescued/ nervous doggos -I will not love on a puppy any more than I love on an old dog -My commitment to your pet's safety is 100% -I have all the applicable skills when it comes to being aware of the dog's personal needs and how they might vary from other dogs -I don't just do the basics-- I ensure that the dogs receive love and not JUST that they have the essentials! I am actively booking services via Rover in addition to other scheduled clients. Currently, I am available for dog walking, drop in visits for both dogs and cats, and overnight stays in your home in Northern CO/ the Front Range. As of May 2026, I am now working a full-time in -office job Tues-Sat (10am-6pm, 10-5pm on Saturdays.) That being said, if you are located within a close drive to my office in Longmont, i can also do drop in visits on my lunch breaks (anytime between noon- 2pm.) I provide the utmost care to your pups or kitties. Please refer to my calendar to book services and see when I am available 😊 PLEASE NOTE: **** I have a policy that new clients must request my services within 5 days’ advanced notice prior to drop- in visits, walks, or overnight sitting. If this cannot be done, it is very likely that I may instead request a one- time add- on adjustment/ fee to the booking, especially if the request is made: - In less than 24 hours’ notice and/ OR - On a Holiday PLEASE respect this policy of mine & know that I am a small business owner who cares for animals full- time. I do my best to fulfill each request that comes my way, unless I otherwise am already booked at the same time. I do not turn anyone away and ask that my time, care & love for your fur babies is respected! Thanks :) **** I always ensure that your pets are in either a fenced in yard, or on leash while walked out in the neighborhood. I have experience with neurotic, fearful pups who need some extra lovin’, and may take their sweet time to get to know me and/ or need to be muzzled to go on a walk. I have cared for 8 week old puppies, and 19.5 year old kitties and elderly dogs. My love and respect for animals is always at the forefront of the time I spend in your home with your furry family members!
“Very close proximity to the Rocky Mountain National Park, where dogs are not allowed on trails. Gwen and Mikkel were able to watch our pups Angus and Rosie for a day while we were vacation so we could go hiking. Great communication and sent us several pictures as well. We knew our dogs were in great hands which made our day all that more enjoyable. Highly recommend!!!”
“Joanne was absolutely wonderful with Jake! She sent SO many updates and photos which eased my worrying heart. She did all his favorite activities and he was such a happy boy when we picked him up. 15/10 would go back.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since childhood, starting with training and walking my first dog, which helped me develop patience, consistency, and a strong understanding of trust. I later co-parented a high-needs dog, gaining experience with behavior management, individual care needs, and medication administration. Throughout my life, friends and neighbors have relied on me to care for their animals, and I pride myself on being dependable, calm, and attentive. I also live an active lifestyle and would love to bring your dog along on hikes or outdoor adventures if that’s something they enjoy. I currently work part time in a hybrid role, and I love to fill some of my time caring for pups! I can’t wait to find out how I can support. My clean and spacious home is the perfect landing space for your pup between walks, potty breaks, rides around town, higher intensity hikes, or whatever activities your dog enjoys the most. Your dog will have the freedom to roam where they please, sit with me on the couch, or insist upon another walk. I pride myself on my attention to detail and risk management when it comes to any environment your dog and I are sharing, while optimizing fun and enrichment. Conveniently located next to a trail and several parks, we will have no shortage of excellent places to jaunt and play!
“Many thanks for your flexibility in accomodating a last minute request for day care. Gumbo had a great time and we did not have to worry about her while we were out. She was pretty stressed out about our leaving until she realized she got to spend to day being treated like a queen by Kyle and Desiree.”
“Kyleigh has been so good with our anxious pup Kermit. She spent time getting to know him during a meet and greet and when we brought him back for day care a couple weeks later he pulled me to the door because he was so excited to be there. Kyleigh has been very flexible and laid back in the best way and I can tell that Kermit feels safe around her— and her boyfriend Chris, which is a big deal because Kermit does not typically do well around men. Thanks Kyleigh!”
“I highly recommend, Jeana! From initial communication (clear communication and prompt friendly responses), to meet and greet, to day care (she even kindly sent pics), she was simply wonderful! I highly recommend her and will be booking a stay with her this summer. SO glad to have found her and thank you, Jeana!!!”
About: ***I will be out of state for the month of August. I will still be responding to requests but won't be available for in person meet and greets until early September. Stay cool everybody! Hello there! My name is Danielle and I would love to spend some time with your fur babies! I grew up with a bunch of pups running around (although I do not have any of my own now) and I have been sitting through Rover for over 8 years, so I have a lot of experience to bring to the table :) I have lots of experience with rescue pups (including any quirks that they may have because of this) as well as elderly pets who require extra attention, meds, specialized care, etc. I'm happy to work with you to provide the best care to your fur babies while I am watching them. I know different dogs and even different breeds can have wildly different needs and my goal is to keep them as calm and happy as possible while you are away. All my services are in your home only, including day care. Drop ins are for visits less than 1 hour (sometimes multiples per day), Day Care is longer visits (usually between 4-8 hours per day) but no overnights and housesitting is full time, 24 hour care including overnights. ***Rover has taken away full autonomy of our calendars. The Rover calendar only shows approx 80% of my housesitting availability. To see all available days (I update frequently), please look under "Availability" I freelance so I can work from home (aka right from your couch or home office.) As long as you can share your wifi password, I can be with them as needed. I can easily make sure I'm there to check in on them/work around their schedule. I'll most likely be with them more often than not during the day, and can stay with them all night as well. **Rover's housesitting calender only shows about 80% of my availability, below lists my full availability. I'll update regularly. If you're looking for something farther out/not listed, I'd love to hear from you! Available Housesitting Dates 2026 Sept 7-Sept 25th Oct 10-15th Oct 18-Oct 27th Nov 22-27th I will treat your pets and your home like it's my own. I will try my best to keep your fur babies on their normal, daily schedule. The only difference is that I would be the human doing the feeding, walking, snuggling, etc instead of the pet parent(s). I find this works best for most pets, and their parents, especially if there is any separation anxiety. During our meet and greet, I'll ask all about their daily schedule so I know how to best care for your fur babies during my stay. I work from home (aka right from your couch or home office), so I can be there with them most of the day and cater to their normal daily schedule :) Please be aware - during extreme temperature months, outside time (walks, etc) may be modified for everyone's health and safety. For example, in the winter/cold months, walks will primarily be done around mid day when it is warmest and during summer, walks would be done early or late to avoid the hottest times of the day. I am happy to discuss this with you during our meet and greet to come to an arrangement that works for everyone
“Pronk had a fabulous time at Marion's. Pronk has separation anxiety and can be weird about being left behind, but she played with Marion's dog Summit *all day* and was all tuckered out when we picked her up :) :) :) Thank you!!!”
About: NEW: I have added daycare and overnight boarding in my home for dogs and cats. I am retired so your pets will have extra love and attention. All animals coming into our home must be healthy and UTD on all vaccines. l have always had a special connection with cats. My favorite experiences are when I go to someone's house and am petting the cat I have just met and the cat parent exclaims that their cat won't go to anyone else. When looking for a part-time job I could do after retirement, my daughter suggested I offer cat-sitting since she knows how much I love cats and they love me. I regularly take care of her kitties. I decided that was a terrific suggestion and I started my business as the Cat Lady without a Cat. I am now doing long term foster care for Sugar, a 19 year old sweet kitty who lost her home when her owner had to move away to assisted living. I also have a sweet dog named Jud, 45 pounds, who loves all dogs (and is neutral with cats) but hates going for walks. I would love to drop-in and play with, take care of, and love your cat(s) or small dog or have them visit me in my home. I have a nice sized fenced in backyard for the dogs. I love dogs but only do dog walking by special request and review. I love to play with them in the yard or house though and can take them out to relieve themselves if no yard. I have regularly taken care of my sweet grand-dog and have had many dogs over the years. Your dog would receive just as much love and attention as your cat. I am insured and bonded. I love sharing cute photos so I post pictures on social media of my clients unless instructed not to. Thank you. I'm retired so I have a lot of flexibility in my daily schedule unless I'm traveling. I serve Loveland and surrounding communities weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I first greet them and give them love if they want it. I take care of feeding, water, and litter/letting outside as necessary. Then it is play time or cuddle time! For boarding or daycare, I have a ranch style home with a nice size backyard with a 6 foot fence. My dog Jud loves playtime with other dogs but also loves naptime. Jud is ambivalent with cats. My cat has her own room to retreat to when we have visiting pets.

Marcy was amazing for us, especially when we needed her most. I needed last minute dog coverage when the family visited RMNP and realized we couldn’t bring the dog with us for the hikes. She was so welcoming, responsive, and was obviously good with dogs from the start like taking the dog out frequently and having plenty of toys for our pup to play with. To top it off, we misjudged how long it would take to hike and get back, and she was able to accommodate picking the dog up extra late. She’s a pro and everyone should use her services. Thanks again for the last minute help Marcy!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Estes Park
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Estes Park on Rover is $55.5 per day (as of August 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 .
As of August 2026, there are 678 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Estes Park. 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 Estes Park 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 678 sitters in Estes Park, 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.
