“Christine was fantastic and Lulu had a great time playing with Hondo! Lulu is a very anxious dog—Christine was understanding of her needs and Lulu warmed to her within just this first daycare visit. I’ll definitely be booking again and grateful to have another spot where I know Lu will be happy and wonderfully cared for.”
About: I have been taking care of pets for over 20 years, watching them for friends and family as well as taking great care of my own family fur babies. I have a park nearby in a safe neighborhood so your fur baby will get lots of exercise. I am also available to watch them in your home if you prefer. I am currently working part time from home so I am conveniently available days, nights, weekends or whatever is needed to fit your busy schedule. I have a fenced small yard, plenty of areas to walk and play close by, and my house is clean, childproof and safe for pets.
“Jacky was AMAZING with Mecum, I swear he had the best night of his life. She was super attentive to his needs and brought him for many fun activities. Best Rover person I’ve ever met!!! I’m so grateful I met her and can’t wait for future trips for her to hang out with him! :) he moved right in and loved it. Thank you, Jacky! She also sent me frequent updates throughout the night and sent pictures/ videos. You’re the best, Jacky!!!!”
“Curtis has been watching our puppy for almost two months now regularly and does a wonderful job with him. Our puppy is more reserved with people but loves Curtis. He has made the effort to really get to know our dog and provide him with the type of attention and care he needs. Through his patient and thoughtful care he has clearly gained our shy puppy’s affections, which is the ultimate endorsement!”
“My dog has a little separation anxiety, and this was her first time staying with Sally, but Sally and her dog Leni were able to sooth her and she seemed to settle in after a few hours. The dogs played for hours, and mine went to sleep right when we got home -- always a good sign! Sally was very accommodating to a changing schedule, and was a delight to work with. A great experience overall.”
“Georgia successfully tired out our energetic, border collie puppy Nancy! She was communicative throughout the day and took Nancy to play in the creek. Thank you!!”
“Charissa is the absolute best! She is amazing with dogs! As soon as I open the car door, my dog is out the door and sprinting towards her house. She doesn’t even look back! So lucky to have Charissa nearby us.”
About: Hello! I’m a retired Special Education teacher. My passion is dogs and the care and training of dogs. When your furr baby is staying with me, she or he is my priority. I am patient, caring and truly want your furr baby to have a safe, engaging and fun time while in my care. I’d love to take your furr baby for walks and/ or give cuddles; as desired. I first became available on Rover in 2017, first working in California and now in Colorado. I work full-time at home and will give your sweet furr baby all the time, care and exercise he or she needs. I’m currently at home full-time. I have plenty of time for your furr baby Please schedule pickup & drop-off times between 7am - 9:30pm. Thank you. I have two dogs and two cats. One dog is a friendly, small-sized older dog. He is calm and will engage with your furr baby as much as they want. I also have a large breed female dog. She is sweet, curious and well-behaved. I have four available crates if you use crating. The cats have separate areas and mostly stay in their own room during dog boarding.
“Emilie helped us out tremendously with some last minute day care. She's quick to respond, friendly, and I felt at ease leaving our pup with her. Two big thumbs up from us!”
“My puppy had a blast! She came home exhausted from a full day of play. The pictures Sara sent me throughout the day made it a lot easier to be away from my baby.”
About: Growing up with pets, I’ve always had a deep connection with animals. My background in energy healing helps me tune into each pet’s unique needs, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. After a decade of not having my pets, I'm deeply deficient in animal cuddles - I make up for it by showering my furry clients with extra affection, belly rubs, and snuggles. Whether your pet needs a calming presence, senior care, or just an adventure buddy, I provide attentive, personalized care so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your fur family! I have a few recurring weekly meetings that I can join remotely, so I am available to housesit any time as long as there is steady internet. I am available to dog walk or make home visits in the afternoons. I can only provide care for pets in a client's home, as several elderly rescue dogs are living out their best lives at my home.
“My two dogs spent the day with Alison. She sent me updates and photos so I knew what they were up to. They had a fun and active day with Alison. I plan to leave them with her again.”
“Sasha is wonderful! We're so happy to have found her. She is very thoughtful and caring with our dogs and she limits the number she cares for so we always know our dogs are in a safe place with plenty of supervision. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always loved being around and caring for dogs! I’ve had a dog of my own for almost my whole life, who I care for on the daily. When a friend is in need of a dog sitter they come to me and I care for their pup like my own! I am home very often on a daily basis so I have lots of time to spend with your pet and care for their needs! This leaves plenty of time for play and attention. I have a big fenced in yard where the dog can run and play along with my energetic 4 year old dog. Your pet can be crated if needed/desired but is welcome on the furniture just like my dog!
“Bugsy( 10 year old Papillon) had a fabulous Friday at Sarahs. Lots of love, yard time, and healthy snacks. Ill be booking another play date in the near future. Highly recommend Sarah for your Doggy Day or Boarding!!”
About: I offer a calm, uncrowded environment where your dog gets plenty of space to relax and play, thanks to my large fenced yard, pool, and easy dog-door access. As a lifelong dog owner, I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs, from energetic puppies who benefit from consistent routines and basic training reinforcement to senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra attention. With no other dogs currently in the home, your pet gets personalized care, close supervision, and a low-stress stay that feels like a true home away from home. I have a very flexible work schedule, work from home often. I have two dog-loving kids in this home and have been dog sitting since they were babies. Our family dog now lives at their other parents home (post-divorce) and I am not quite ready for another full time dog. I LOVE dog sitting and having canine energy around here. I have a giant fenced yard, a pool with a locking cover, and the back gate leads to 20 miles of trail. I do daily walks, sometimes 2x a day. I have a dog door that allows the dogs to go in and out freely- and also can lock off the door if there needs to be a restriction for going outside. I offer dogs to get comfy on our couch and our bed, however can also keep pets off furniture if that is what is preferred in your home. I have done kind and fear-free training with my dogs in the past to help with voice recognition and control on the leash.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gunbarrel
Christine is a wonderful, thoughtful human and a loving, professional dog person! My two huskies loved their day with her and sweet Hondo. They enjoyed their walk (not always an easy feat but no problem for Christine), the beautiful backyard, and all the understanding and love they received. My one husky has extreme separation anxiety and had absolutely no desire to leave. That says it all!
Lauren was wonderful with our dogs! Was very easy to communicate with, has lots of experience, and was able to manage all of our dogs’ unique requirements based on a couple of medical conditions. We would highly recommend her and will be working with her frequently in the future!
Once again, Lulu had so much fun with Sadie and Sadie’s partner’s dog. Thrilled to have a new sitter in whose care I can happily and comfortably leave my very anxious pup-and who has been very warm, flexible, and accommodating, which with current stressors, has been invaluable. Can’t recommend Sadie enough!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Gunbarrel
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Gunbarrel on Rover is $42.18 per day (as of July 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 Gunbarrel 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 4,111 sitters in Gunbarrel, 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.
