“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Sir Wayne and little Miss Yuki!!!! I can tell they were very much loved during their visit. They felt comfortable enough to give kisses and play! I’m just so grateful you were able to help and on such short notice. You guys are the best! And your dogs too were such good playmates for my fur balls of energy.”
“Coltrane spent his first day with Sarah & Darren and they took great care of him. It is obvious that they are dog lovers and enjoy hanging out and playing. Coltrane had so much fun, he didn't necessarily even want to leave when we picked him up. We have a couple of boarding stays booked with Sarah & Darren in the near future and I feel good about leaving Coltrane with them for these stays. I know he will be well taken care of and have lots of fun. Thank you Sarah & Darren!”

Their timing was super flexible, and their dogs got along so well with ours! The pups were spoiled with treats, had a nice backyard to run around and had a comfy couch to cuddle on. They sent us pictures and videos throughout the day and by the time we picked them up, our dogs were pooped!”

About: At 27 years old, I've had experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from rambunctious puppies who need lots of patience and playtime, to energetic large breeds, to sweet senior dogs who require a little extra care and comfort. I know that every dog is unique, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, loved, and right at home while you're away. Whether your pup loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or simply wants a cozy companion to relax with, I'm happy to tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I'd love the opportunity to provide them with a safe, fun, and caring experience.

With over 20 years of experience in dog training, working with animal shelters, and training therapy dogs, my expertise spans a wide spectrum. I've had the privilege of working with countless dogs, and each moment has been invaluable to me.

Nobody understands your furry friend better than you do, and engaging directly with owners helps me glean insights into what makes their pup truly happy!

About: Hi there! 🐾 Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I loved them so much as a kid that by age 7, I was teaching myself how to potty train our dogs and work on basic commands using treats and positive reinforcement. What started as a childhood obsession has turned into a lifelong passion! Over the years, I've volunteered with several animal shelters, most recently helping with dog walks and special events at MaxFund in Denver. Those experiences gave me the opportunity to work with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and backgrounds. I have a particular soft spot for senior dogs and pets with special needs, who often just need a little extra patience, understanding, and love. While I don't have a personal backyard, daily walks, park visits, and little adventures around Denver are a big part of life for me and my own senior pup, Sammy. I believe every dog deserves plenty of exercise, enrichment, attention, and affection. I've also cared for dozens of pets belonging to friends and family over the years, and I joined Rover because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and would love to do even more of it. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace and extra cuddles, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I can't wait to meet your furry family member! ❤️🐶 While I work full-time, I work from home most weekdays and have full availability on weekends, which allows me to spend plenty of quality time with the dogs in my care. I'm happy to accommodate pups with higher energy needs, but my typical routine includes three 30-minute walks throughout the day, along with lots of playtime, attention, and companionship. Of course, not every dog enjoys or is able to handle that level of activity. I'm especially comfortable caring for senior and special-needs dogs, and I'm happy to adapt walks, playtime, and enrichment activities to their individual needs, mobility, and energy level. I can also provide potty breaks as often as needed and have access to a dog run downstairs for supervised fetch, sniffing, and extra exercise. Whether your dog loves staying active or prefers a slower pace with cozy naps and gentle companionship, I do my best to tailor their care to their personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe, happy, and right at home My home is very much a "dogs are family" kind of place. Couch cuddles are welcome, treats are plentiful (with your approval of course!), and I love providing enrichment through puzzle toys, training games, sniff walks, and interactive play. I believe mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise, and I enjoy finding fun ways to keep dogs engaged while making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at home. 🐾❤️
About: I have had dogs the majority of my life and absolutely adore them. They bring so much unconditional love to our lives that it is impossible not to love them! I currently work from home so I am always here for your dog(s) during the day. My schedule at work is designed to allow me to take dogs out every two hours if they aren't sure of or can't use a dog door. I will get all viable information from the pawrent so I know exactly what is needed for the pet such as feedings, walks, medications, training or other things.
“Heather and her family are awesome. So conscientious and kind. I could tell Hazel was happy and not stressed in any way and had a great time playing with Ben. Thank you for taking great care of her and we will see you again soon!”
About: Hi there! I have been a "dog mom" for many years and understand and appreciate how important they are as members of the family. My dog Kody is my heart and since I don't have human children, all the maternal instincts, which are many, are focused on him. I think you have to be a *dog person" to truly understand what I mean. I have fostered for a rescue (which led to two additions to my family) and tend to be a bit over protective which means I am very aware of how they are doing, if there are any changes and most importantly how they are cared for. The same would hold true for any dog I am responsible for. I have a good amount of availability and am open to discussing boarding or providing day care in my home provided your dog is "dog friendly". I am somewhat limited to the number of hours I am able to provide at one time if the care is in the community and therefore would be looking for work in the Highlands Ranch area. I am currently job hunting and therefore have a lot of time to take care of your pup, especially if I am providing care in my home. A meet and great will be important as well as an introduction of our dogs to each other. I treat them as if they are mine. I have a 4.5 year old cockapoo who would be a great companion provided it is a good fit. I have a six foot fence yard and always accompany my dog outside.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gateway
Susan took wonderful care of my dog, Niko! He came home absolutely pooped at the end of the day, which tells me he had such a fun and active time at her place. It was clear he was very well looked after. We would absolutely book with her again and will definitely be repeat clients!
Jessica was absolutely amazing with Eila! Eila spent a lot of time outdoors and played really well with her dog too :) She came home very tired at night too which was definitely a perk. She sent lots of photos throughout the day and we really felt that she was in great hands! She was also very flexible and accommodating with our busy and unpredictable schedules. Would definitely use her services again :)
My dogs had a great time staying with Lucia (and Luis) for daycare! Lucia sent midday updates and photos, took the dogs on walks, and they loved playing in the nice fenced yard. My dogs were comfortable from the very first visit, and I’m so happy I found Lucia!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Gateway on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Gateway 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.

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.
