About: I strive to provide the kind of care I’d want for my own pets—loving, attentive & dependable. I work from home as a special education teacher for an online school which gives me the time and flexibility to comfort and care for pets with all different kinds of needs. I am an animal lover to the core, the kind of person who always thinks of my pets needs/comfort first. We have a friendly 4 year old dog and an indifferent 17 year old cat of our own, so please keep that in mind when booking. Our home is in the country with a fully fenced/chain link yard. The environment is calm and quiet throughout the day. I take my own dog on at least 2 walks per day, and like to go to the nearby pond when we have extra time. Weekend adventures usually include hikes, playing in the snow (when available), long walks/adventures, etc. Potty breaks are provided throughout the day, at least every few hours and on demand. Giving love (pets, scratches, cuddles) is full time around here! I have had my own pets and sat for family and friends countless times over the years. I started using Rover for my dog last year and loved our experience, so I decided to provide my own services for those who might need it. I hope to build a clientele of returning customers based on my loving/caring nature and attentive home environment. I work from home, so love and attention are provided all day long. I take my own dog on several walks a day and try to squeeze in more activities on weekends. We have a fully fenced yard and 5 acres outside of that. Our home is pet safe/friendly as we have our own dog and cat. Your dog would have full time love and care!

“Lori was fantastic. I had a last minute change, and needed a new Rover for my two dogs. She responded quickly, and my dogs had an absolute wonderful time playing with her and her dogs.”

“My 2 dogs took to Carole the minute we stepped in the door. I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with her for the day. They were very well cared for. Communication was very good while scheduling the visit and the day of services. I highly recommend Carole!”

“Chris and his wife and his fur babies were the best pet sitters! Chris is super friendly, he loves his pets, he loves his pet guests, and they are spoiled while they are with him! He has a wonderful woodsy backyard with lots of freedom to roam. There are dog beds available and if your dog needs a nap, it looks super comfy! He texts photos of your dogs throughout the day to show you how happy they are. I would not hesitate to use him, in fact I would search him out!”

About: I've cared for dogs the last 20 years, growing up with labs in my childhood home to adopting a retired Siberian husky. I've cared for several puppies and have experience with puppy training. I work from home and have a LOT of flexibility! I'm able to pop in throughout the day or pop in for short notice visits! I'll always follow owners' instructions on how to care for pets inside and outside. Pet's will always be supervised when in my care. Dogs will always be leashed if otherwise instructed by owners.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ignacio

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 Ignacio 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.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.

To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
