“Kira did such an amazing job with job with our babies Rolo and Ruby. Our pups have different needs and Kira was on top of everything. She was so attentive and caring. She went above and beyond with the care my babies got when they were with her. The house is safe, calm, clean and Kira is an absolutely lovely human.”
“Our sweet Gus had an awesome time with Cory and his pups! Gus ran right up to Cory and didn’t even look back on his way inside—Cory is clearly wonderful with dogs. Gus came home tired and happy after his first day of daycare!”
“Amelia is amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. She sent me a video and picture updates throughout the day. Willow came home a very happy pup and we will be coming back. Thanks Amelia for your kindness!”
“Sehwa and Adam were so great! Our Nova seemed to love them and they sent updates throughout her day. They were very understanding when we had to postpone for a day due to changing work schedule and when Nova had an accident. This was our first time using Rover so Nova was probably a little extra nervous but they were so nice about it. I would highly recommend Sehwa and Adam, and would love to use them again in the future :)”
“Luke was so accommodating! We had a very short notice requirement and he worked with us so well to accommodate our pups! They loved their time there and were so sad to leave. Thanks so much!!”
“Diane and Chris were the best! Miles made himself right at home — I’m pretty sure he didn’t even miss me 😅. They gave him tons of love, and he came home happy, tired, and freshly spoiled. Couldn’t have asked for better sitters — so glad I found them!”
“Ace had a great day hanging out with Sydney. He was happy as could be when I picked him up and tired out enough that he slept most of the 2 hour drive home. Would definitely recommend Sydney.”
“My 3 month old puppy Bella loved her drop-in stays with Janet! Janet has a great space for dogs including a huge backyard so the pups can safely play all day. I enjoyed the pics and videos she sent of Bella throughout the day and look forward to working with her again in the future!”
“Jen was great with Joshua! She sent updates throughout the day and was very accommodating with my drop off and pick up times. My dog seems very happy after his visit there. Also very convenient location for a ski day when coming from Denver area.”
About: Dogs in our house are part of the family. We are a mother & son (age 14) combo with 2 dogs in the house (friendly, sweet spayed females). We have been loving and caring for dogs since we were both little, providing the best care for our price and will make your dog feel like it's at home! We have a fully fenced-in large yard and dog door. If you crate your dog, we have one in the house so that you don't have to bring yours. You can certainly bring your own dog bed, but we also have one that your pup can utilize. We also have stuffs, toys, leashes & bowls, so don't fret if you forget anything. Your furry-buddy is allowed to cuddle on the couch with us or wherever they find comfort. If the weather permits and your dog is accustomed to going to the dog park, they can join us on trips to play. We have both gone through dog training programs, most recently Ted Terroux. Clean house, well cared-for, loving home. ***** Please reach out if you need a date that shows as "unavailable" as we might be able to make a special accommodation for your dog & past clients. ***** As a teacher & student, we are on summer break and have lots of availability. During the school year, we work and go to school during the week. We are able to go home mid-day for potty breaks. We we home on weekends and during breaks (Spring Break, Summer, Fall Breaks & Winter Breaks). We have several "regular" clients that have a proven track record with our dogs.... Thus, we are able to board mid-week *if* your dog is COOL (plays well, non-destructive, low flight risk), and knows how to use a doggie door. So, please send us a message as we are often available for other dates not made public on the calendar. We look forward to getting to know you and your fur baby! We have a great record of caring for our dogs and we will be able to safely and reliably take care and keep your dog safe and happy in a comfortable and clean home. We typically feed our dogs in the morning and evening, but can accommodate your pups needs. Our home is very clean and well taken care of. There is a main level in which we hang out with great room, office and kitchen. The dogs have free-roam of the main level which has laminate flooring, but covered with carpet squares as one of our dogs does not like walking on hardwood floors. So, it is mostly carpeted for her comfort. We have a large sectional in which we allow dogs to snuggle with us while watching TV. The LARGE yard is mostly grass, some mulch/landscaped trees & shrubs, with concrete patio in which we spend a lot of time dining and reading. We pick up poop DAILY. During the evening, if you request your dog could be crated in the bedroom in which one of us is sleeping as dogs are pack animals and they don't like being separated from the pack. We keep them close to us. But, we want to keep everyone safe, so the crate is available (optional) for their safety as well as ours/our pets. But again, they are slumbering in the same room with us.
About: Any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had a chihuahua and an Italian Greyhound - both of which required different styles of care and exercise. Between pet sitting, taking neighbors pups on walks and of course taking care of my own pups, I’ve got experience with it all! I currently have a 3 1/2 year old Mini Australian Shepherd named Fish who is the center of my world and who I've raised since he was a puppy. From correcting behaviors to teaching fun tricks, I am well versed in how to properly care for all types of dogs! I am currently working completely from home, while also taking certification courses ranging from Computer Science to Philosophy and virtually everything in between. I have a dog myself so potty breaks, dog park trips and play time is cemented into my schedule at this point. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing my pup get to run around and play! I live in an apartment that has immediate access outside, both to a fully fenced in dog area and open grass fields. I love having a variety of environments in such close proximity so I can make sure to keep my pups life dynamic and fun!!
“Irina and her boyfriend took excellent care of Griffin. He was so excited to be there and we received lots of pictures of the fun he was having. We enjoyed getting to know them and highly recommend them to others.”
About: I'm a dog mom through and through, which means I come fully equipped with treats, belly rub expertise, and zero judgment about how many times your pup needs to sniff the same bush. I'm comfortable with everything from 8-week-old puppies to senior dogs (note for senior dogs: they will need to go up stairs). I'll send you an unreasonable number of photos of your dog having the time of their life while they play with my sweet gal, Mocha. Your dog will be spoiled, loved, and probably a little tired by the time you pick them up. I work from home, so your dog is never stuck home alone. They'll have access all day, every day to backyard zoomie sessions in my large, fully-fenced yard, midday sniff adventures, and plenty of couch time in between. Big dogs especially love the backyard! I offer boarding seven days a week and doggy daycare Monday through Friday. Drop-off and pick-up can easily work around your schedule. My home is a dog-friendly zone. The backyard is large and fully fenced. I don't typically use crates. Your dog is free to roam comfortably inside and out, just like they would at home. However, if you would like me to crate them I can. My own friendly dog is part of the package, so your pup will have a built-in buddy to hang out with! I do a slow introduction to make sure the dogs hit it off. As for furniture, I follow your lead! If your dog is used to the couch, they're welcome on mine. If you'd prefer they stay off, I'll happily reinforce that (my dog has already claimed the good cushion anyway). Since I work from home, I'm around to keep an eye on things all day.
About: I have taken care of multiple friends and family dogs while they were away on trips including letting them out, taking them on walks, and playing with them. I also have had 2 family dogs. One that I grew up with my entire life and a new puppy! I am in the process of looking for a job, so until I find one I have a very big availability all throughout the week. I have time to sit and be tentative with any animal I am carrying for. I live right next to a park which makes a great place to walk and play.

Please allow at least 48 hours notice for existing clients and 1 week for new clients. 🐾 I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable, and I want to feel prepared to give them the best care.

I’m a calm, reliable presence and genuinely enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. My days always feel more complete when I’ve spent time with pets! In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines. I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions carefully, from medication to feeding details. I also check in with updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection. I tailor care to each pet’s personality.

Adrian was amazing with Otis and so nice to work with. She took daycare with him on pretty last minute but you couldn’t tell it was any inconvenience because she spent a full day of activities and of her time with him. She really cares for animals and was so kind to us, she is an amazing sitter!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Golden
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Golden on Rover is $27.75 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 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.
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 4,481 sitters in Golden, 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.
