“Eric is a great dog sitter! My dog is older and I worry about him being in new places, but I felt confident that Eric would take great care of him. Eric was very communicative and I will definitely have him watch my fur baby again!”
“Both my dogs settled in record time! Lindsay provided updates, report cards and plenty of pictures. It was a relief to see my pets sleeping on their backs next Lindsay. Her genuine love for pets was apparent from the first moment we all met. We are grateful to have found Lindsay and we wish her the best!”
“Winnie had a great time at Jessica’s house playing with Reggie and Frankie! Great backyard to explore, and great communication. Would definitely book again!”
“Iliana was so good with our dog! I highly recommend her to doggie daycare services. She had a nice, clean home and she definitely loves animals!! I felt comfortable leaving our dog with her. It was very nice that she sent pictures of him while he stayed with her!!”
“Sophie was great with my dog! My dog was having stomach issues all day and Sophie was very accommodating and took her out every hour. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay. My dog had a great time with her”
“So glad that my dog Ernie has met Olivia and Ryan and their dog Archie. He recongized their house and walked right up to the door. He is looking forward to his longer stay with them when I have to out of town for a conference for a few days.”
“This was my first time using the Rover app! Paige made the experience comfortable and seamless. I was able to come take a look at her place before booking, I liked the fact that she seemed to control the environment even though there were multiple dogs. Her responses were prompt, quicker than expected. She had an answer for any question that I had. Paige was genuinely excited to have Monty and she provided me with photos throughout the day! I would highly recommend Paige and I will be booking with her again! 10/10!!”
About: My husband and I dearly miss the company and compassion of our golden retriever and collie. So, missing having a pet around, we have joined Rover as a provider to extend our warmth to additional pets. We like to express ourselves to a dog/puppy through cuddling, brushing and active walks that are to their delight. We have a third of an acre fully fenced in back yard(see our pics!) as well as an array of large public parks within a mile of our house. We are well accustomed to attending to feeding schedules, walking schedules and hugging time (always). As my husband and I are both at home 24/7, we are able to keep a close eye and ear to back door scratching, barks and tail wagging. We are a couple in mid life who work from home and who have oodles of time to spend attending to a content doggy. We have a large fenced in yard (1/3 acre) with multiple city parks in walking distance. During the 12 years that we had our combined two loving dogs (a collie and a golden) they trained us well to be attentive to potty breaks, exercising and romping, meal times and occasional snacks.
“Erik did a fantastic job taking care of my puppy for the day. I love all the updates and photos/videos throughout the day. I got a very happy and tired puppy back at the end of the day!”
About: Hi, I’m Allison—your pet’s go-to gal! 🐾 My love for animals started early with my two childhood pets: Jack, my sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Lady, my orange cat who had plenty of personality and a special place in my heart. They taught me just how much joy, comfort, and companionship pets bring to our lives. I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have always been the person friends and family call when they need someone reliable to care for their furry family members. More recently, I’ve been watching my friend’s Portuguese Water Dog and have officially become the go-to gal for all of my friends’ pet-sitting needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, sticking to routines, or extra cuddles on the couch, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My boyfriend and I would love a dog of our own someday, but because he currently works out of town, we’re waiting until his schedule changes. Until then, we’d love the chance to pour all that love and attention into caring for yours! I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make sure you feel completely at ease and that your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM–3:00 PM, and my job is incredibly flexible, which makes pet care a perfect fit for my schedule. Because I’m home during the day, I can provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddles instead of pets being left alone for long stretches. I’m able to take breaks throughout the day to check in on your pets and adjust my schedule as needed to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat them like they’re my own. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions, because I know consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“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: Hello! My name is Kyle and I’ve taken care of dogs for many years now - my own large dogs and friend’s and family’s animals. I would love to hang out with your buddy! We live in a house with a backyard and have a 1.5 y/o Pyrenees/Golden mix who loves to play. If your buddy isn’t really into playing, it’s easy to keep ‘em separated. We do have kiddos (4 and 7 y/o), so if your pup(s) are aggressive or does not get along with kids or other dogs, we will not be the family for you. I work from home, so someone will always be here to keep an eye on ‘em or to play and take walks. I would love the opportunity to take good care of your buddy and give lots of love. Thanks for looking and hope to meet you soon! Kyle No set schedule - I work from home, so there will almost always be someone around to keep an eye on your buddy, regardless of time of day! We have a fully (6’) fenced yard to ensure your buddy’s safety. Additionally, we have another full time pup who lives with us and LOVES to play! And if that wasn’t enough, we have two kiddos (4 and 7 y/o) who will go out of their way to make your buddy feels loved, cared for, and always safe and comfortable.
“Susan is a very caring person and takes great care of my girl. She is flexible and reliable, and my dog always comes home happy and tired! I highly recommend her for any of your pet's needs.”
“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!!”
“Brittney and Brian were so gracious with allowing me to do an early morning drop off! I got frequent updates throughout the day and they were so accommodating to Ms. Stella! If you’re looking for people who are communicative and kind look no further than Brittney and Brian!”
“Chelsea was great! Will rebook anytime she'll have us. Jaxie boy didn't want to leave. Jax loved being outside and playing with their dog, Trout! She sent updates and pictures and made sure he was living his best life the whole stay! Very accommodating as well!”
About: I've interacted with dogs since a young age and am very comfortable around all types of animals. I have experience with training puppies (including my own) and have cared for dogs and cats for family friends since I was 13. I work from home and can take your dog on walks once or twice a day with potty breaks every 4-8 hours-- or more if needed! I have experience with reactive dogs and high-energy pups, making exercise no problem for your pet. I have a very friendly 5 year old dog at home that can keep your pet company, but can also separate the pets for doggy day-care options.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Lakeside is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
Lindsay was absolutely wonderful with Finn! From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease leaving him in her care. It was obvious Finn was happy, well cared for, and got plenty of love and attention. I would absolutely book with Lindsay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dog!
Sophie is the best! She was incredibly responsive and so very kind! Our big boy had SO much fun with her and Petunia. This was our first time using Rover and Sophie has set the bar incredibly high. My 7 year old daughter said, “Mom, I just KNEW we could trust her with Clyde!” :-D
Bear had a fantastic week with Lauryn! It was our first time leaving him with anyone and we were nervous at first but Lauryn eased our minds by sending pictures and video of him having the best time. You can tell how much she loves dogs! We’ll definitely book with her again! Thanks Lauryn!!
Sabrina was great with my dog! She was quick to respond and consistently sent pics and videos throughout the stay. She took her on long walks, to the park, and played fetch in the backyard. Sophie had such a great time. She came home happy and tired. Would definitely recommend!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lakeside
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lakeside on Rover is $30 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 4,598 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lakeside. 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 Lakeside 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 4,598 sitters in Lakeside, 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.
