Doggy Day Care Idaho Springs

“We have been traveling for a week and changing plans due to the lack of snow so we made a very last minute request and Emma was super flexible and communicative. She took great care of Minnie! Minnie can be anxious when away from home but was much calmer than usual when we picked her up. When Minnie needed space from Emma’s playful dogs, Emma gave Minnie her own space in the house. We got updates and photos during the day too. We highly recommend Emma and would use her again if we’re traveling in this area again.”

“Robyn was great. She was reliable, great with communication and took my dog for a long walk which I appreciated. I received many photo updates on how my dog was doing. It was fun to see him interacting with Robyn's dogs. I would use her services again when in the area.”

About: Hi! I’m semi- retired, flexible and here to help! I am an experienced and dedicated dog owner with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. I have extensive experience with both large and small breeds, including strong, high-energy dogs and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’m confident handling everything from tiny companions to powerful working breeds, and I’m comfortable managing leash manners, reactivity, and high-drive personalities. Over the years, I’ve also worked alongside several professional trainers to develop improve upon training techniques and deepen my understanding of canine behavior. This has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, consistency, and reading body language — ensuring every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and supported. I currently have two dogs of my own who keep me on my toes! One required daily medication and eye drops for most of her life and is now blind, so I’m very experienced with administering medication, caring for special needs dogs, and providing the extra patience and environmental awareness they require. My other is a 90lb Rottweiler — a big, strong, lovable goofball — so I’m more than comfortable handling large, powerful breeds with confidence and control. Whether your dog needs structured walks, medication management, extra patience, or just lots of love and play, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize safety, routine, and plenty of affection. I’d love to meet your pup and provide them with a fun, safe, and caring experience! I’m currently semi retired so have flexibility to adapt to your dogs needs, routine and playtime! I love going for walks, helping with training, providing mental stimulation as well as exercise. My dogs are pretty “spoiled” according to my friends; they eat (home prepared meals) 3 times a day (not including treats) and get tons of attention. I’m happy to provide the same level of love, attentiveness and care to any and every dog I possibly can. 💜 I have a small fenced in yard and a comfortable cozy home. I do have two dogs but have the ability to keep mine separate if needed. If requesting home sitting services, I have done the same and fully understand the level of of trust, cleanliness and respect needed in these situations.

“Katrina was great! Will definitely have my pup spend more time with her.”

Myles S.

“Our high energy 8 mo pup had a fantastic time at Olga's house! She has a great fenced in backyard for dogs to run and her pup, Zeus, is super sweet and successfully wore out Fable. She sent pictures and was very trustworthy and responsive. Fable can't wait to go back! Thank you!”

Charlotte F.

“Sandy took great care of my dog for the day in Georgetown. My pup and her's were fast friends and had a great time playing outside and in her home. She was super communicative, sent updates throughout the day and made the entire process a breeze. I plan on returning for help with dog care in the future. Thanks Sandy!”

Alice R.

About: I am an animal lover that works from home, so I will always be around. I'm just looking to help you care for your pets while you are away. No complicated stuff or pricey add-ons here! About me - my husband and I have owned two beautiful Vizslas over the last 17 years and recently lost our 2nd one. I love animals, have plenty of experience caring for high energy and senior dogs (we cared for our dogs with arthritis, Cushing's Disease, muscle atrophy). I love walking, hiking and spending time with animals. I have a large 1 acre property and spacious home. No other pets, just me and my husband. I am perfectly happy caring for one pet at a time if you prefer your pet to be the only pet with me. I have also cared for friends' pets for a long time as well but am adding my services here to the Rover community. Thank you! I work from home full time, so I have a lot of flexibility. I am able to take breaks often during the day for potty breaks and walks. I am home almost everyday, but I do go out on weekends for a few hours at a time. I can bring your pet along on hikes and picnics if your pet is able to join. I prefer pets that can be left at home for at least 3-4 hours at a time and unattended. If not, we can discuss. Crates may be needed if they are unable to roam around the house alone. I have a large property, but it is unfenced, it is far from the road and our area is very very quiet, almost zero cars. I can keep your pet on a leash for potty breaks if they are prone to running away. My house is spacious and has two floors with just the two of us and no other pets. The stairs and floors are covered in non-slip rugs for pets. There is a baby gate to keep your pet away from stairs if needed. There are extra rugs for the floors if needed (our senior dogs used to slip a lot). I also have a large deck that is fully enclosed - no exit route. Since I am home almost all the time, I can take your pet for a walk and let them keep me company at home on the couch too! I can also come over your home and care for your pet there as needed (depends on length of stay requested).

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: I love big dogs, especially GSDs, but have experience with many ages, breeds, and sizes. I grew up with several labs. I raised a German Shepherd from 8 weeks to 10 years that sadly passed away a couple years back. Needless to say I dont mind being covered in dog hair. I have experience with various personalities, separation anxiety, cuts/injuries, and administering medication. I typically watch one or multiple dogs at a time from the same owner. I will only watch dogs from different owners if the dogs are all dog friendly and all owners agree to it. I enjoy going on walks, hikes, and going to parks, but can also just hang out with your pup if that’s what’s desired. I work remote full time and set my own schedule, allowing flexibility all hours and days. I live in a home with plenty of room and a fenced in backyard. Trails are 20 yards away. Reach out if you’d like to set up a meet and greet! I work remotely and make my own schedule, so I’m flexible at all hours and days to provide the care that your dog needs and deserves. Dogs are always welcome in my home! I have plenty of space with a fenced in yard and dogs are allowed on the couch and in the bed. I’m easy to work with, patient (some dogs just like to sniff more than they walk), communicative, and can adjust to any preferred care strategy to provide a trustworthy service while you’re away.

“Shanik and family are wonderful pet hosts. Mila loved to spend the days with them. She was happy to play ball outside in the snow for her first time. Shanik took care of Mila while my family and I were out skiing. Mila felt like she was home! Thank you!”

“Alicia is great! My dog loves going over to her house to play with their dog. She takes them on walks and keeps me updated throughout the day. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had pets my entire life and experience with all types of dogs. I’ve raised and trained many puppies, adopted rescue dogs and cared for aging dogs with various medical needs. Currently I have a very mellow and gentle 8 year old neutered male Great Pyrenees mix and a sweet playful and energetic 3 year old spayed female Chocolate Lab. I believe our animals are more than just pets. They are our best friends and beloved family members. I am an entrepreneur currently between projects and have full flexibility to schedule my time around caring for pets. I live near National Forest access and able to take pets for walks and hikes in the woods. I will treat your dog with the same love and kindness that I give my own animals and honor any specific requests made to provide the best care possible. I have a large fenced yard that also includes plenty of available shade under the deck and access into the basement. I have two very friendly and welcoming dogs and a family of animals lovers who enjoy giving special attention to furry visitors.

“Absolute best for our new pup! She kept us informed and took many pictures when we were gone for the day. Will be using her again in the future ? amazing job!”

Brittney R.

“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!”

“My 18 month old Chi has a great time with Brian, and all the "littles" running, playing and barking. A great place! We will be there regularly.”

“Kira took great care of our dog who has some separation anxiety issues. Her gentle understanding enabled Brody to feel comfortable. He loved playing with her dog, Obie. We appreciated the photos and updates that let us know Brody was adjusting well to her home. We highly recommend her and would use her services again when we are back in Golden. Nancy”
