“Mélody is an amazing and caring dog sitter. She will make sure your pup is well taken care of, whether that’s making sure the pupper get enough exercise to making sure they’re not left alone if they have separation anxiety. She genuinely cares for the dogs she watches and it shows with how happy the dogs are to be there.”
“We are thrilled to have found Brook and Nathan! Our five-month-old pup is high energy and I work from home. It's so nice to take him to play with other dogs and in good hands. It was so nice to receive updates and photos during the day. And to see him actually resting knowing he was content. We will have our pup with Brooke weekly! YAH!”
About: What sets me apart is the amount of time and attention your pet gets. Since I work from home, your dog isn’t left alone for long stretches. They get consistent supervision, interaction, and care throughout the day. I’m great at adapting to each dog’s needs, whether that’s high energy play, sticking to a strict routine, or giving extra patience and comfort to shy or anxious pets. As a remote worker, I’m home most of the day and able to give pets consistent care and attention. I have a flexible schedule, which means more walks, more playtime, and less time your pet is left alone. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I stick closely to their usual routine,feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. Since I work from home, they get lots of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in a calm environment.
About: Having pets myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your beloved companions. I remember taking my own dogs to kennels and feeling as if they spent most of their time waiting for me to return. When I discovered Rover, I loved the idea that pet parents could find a caring, home-based alternative—either at a sitter’s home or in their own familiar environment. As a Rover sitter, I care for pets and homes exactly as I hope someone would care for mine. I have an established clientele of pups I care for in my home (since 2019) and have recently begun to enjoy in-home sitting as well, bringing the same dedication and attention to detail your pet deserves in their own home. I am a very clean person, respectful of your space, and I treat every pet as if they were my own, always seeking detailed instructions to ensure your pet’s needs and routines are thoroughly met. I’m also excited to share that I am now offering dog walking services and drop-in visits, providing pups with daily exercise, stimulation, and companionship—perfect for busy pet parents who want their dogs to stay happy and healthy even on their busiest days. I work full-time 100% remote so I have the flexibility to care for your pets while I am working. I do like to head home for a few hours a day if house sitting to be with my family. My husband cares for our pups who are visiting and our own, if I'm away. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment where they can follow their usual routines, including feeding, exercise, and playtime, while ensuring they have access to fresh water and cozy resting spots. In a client’s home, I maintain the pet’s familiar surroundings, adhere closely to the owner’s instructions on diet, medication, and daily habits, and give regular updates to ensure peace of mind. Whether at my place or the client’s, I prioritize the pet’s well-being, safety, and happiness by giving them attentive, loving care tailored to their needs.
“Kris was completely amazing, flexible and friendly. She sent pics of my dog Miley and kept me posted about everything. Miley takes time to warm up with other dogs but I was so happy to hear she was playing with the other doggie guests right away. Next day my dog was very sleepy which means she was pooped from her time at Kris’s house.”

“Heather was amazing with my puppy! She is so warm and caring, and it was obvious how much she loves dogs. She sent beautiful pictures during the stay and I loved seeing how happy my puppy was. I will definitely be booking with Heather again!”
“My Vizsla was immediately at ease with Sarah and Darren. So comforting to know she was in loving hands. Will definitely book again!! Thanks, Sarah and Darren !!”
“Our dog Max had a positive experience in Tiffany’s home. We could tell, because he was excited to head over to her house first thing in the morning, even after we were home from our trip. A doggy endorsement is the best kind! Tiffany was warm, professional, and a good communicator. We hope Max will be able to visit her for doggy day care again in the future.”
“Amazing, Amazing couple who have a heart of gold!! The love and care they give our fur baby shows everytime he comes home from their home!!! Thank you so much!!!”
“David and Laura have been nothing short of fantastic. Their communication has been incredible from the meet and greet to dropping my border collie off for daycare. I’m so grateful they sent updates and photos/videos throughout the day. My dog came home happy and tired, which was amazing. Will definitely use David and Laura again!”
“Arlo had a great stay with Rebecca, came home all tired out and fell right asleep! Rebecca and company were all very nice and took lots of nice pics throughout the day!”
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Over the years I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors by watching their dogs while they travel and stopping by to let them out, feed them, and make sure they feel comfortable at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I treat every dog I care for like part of the family. I work independently from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! My kids are off at school during the day. I’m available seven days a week. I have a fully fenced turfed backyard. I have a very friendly lab for your dog to play with and can create your dog if needed.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Highlands Ranch is $35

Brooke took great care of my five-month-old puppy during her first ever Rover visit. She was thoughtful about introducing her to the other dogs and kept me updated with photos and videos so I could see what a great time she was having. Looking forward to Sophie’s next visit with Brooke & Nathan!

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 love it at Denise's! When I drop them off they get excited before I even turn on her street! Denise takes them on a walk (or two!) and the backyard has plenty of room to roam. Denise sends pics and videos and is responsive to inquiries. We're regulars!
Seiyoung deserves 100 stars. I have been unsuccessful to find an actual dog person that is trustworthy on rover in this area of Colorado that does doggy daycare until I found Seiyoung. Her and her family are all experienced dog people and I just knew my two furbabes were being taken care of to the nth degree. These two doggos of mine are my children and I didn’t have one moment of worry as she kept me updated and communicated throughout the day. Both of my boys can be shy and scared while at daycare and they both had a blast despite their very different personalities. I cannot complete this review without mentioning the star of the show- Mango dog. She’s the sweetest dog, kept Turtle my two-year-old cockapoo distracted with playtime and cuddles and was respectful of my older dog Walter’s need for space. If you are able to get lucky enough to get on her schedule, you won’t want anyone else ever again. Seiyoung, Mango and her family set the bar for dog care, I’m truly thankful for them.
Robert and Francesca were very welcoming of Lola. During her first stay Robert tried to make Lola as comfortable as possible by having me walk her to their yard and slip out quietly. They even administered a short term oral medication during her stay. Their dog pumpkin also makes the perfect low-stress playmate for Lola.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Highlands Ranch
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Highlands Ranch on Rover is $32.1 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 4,259 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Highlands Ranch. 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 Highlands Ranch 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 4,259 sitters in Highlands Ranch, 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.
