“Eric did a fantastic job watching my pup this past week on short notice while I was at work. He was very responsive and helpful, and made sure to send pictures here and there throughout the day. My pup came home happy and well looked after, and I could not be more grateful. We will definitely be back!”
About: Hello! My name is Jackie and I've been a dog mom for over 20 years. My first pup was a Golden Retriever named Sam and my second is an Aussie named Norman. Long before Rover I would often house/pet sit for friends. I have experience with all ages of dogs. I cared for my good ole boy Sam from puppyhood until he was almost 15. On the other hand, Aussie Norman is high-functioning and anxious dog. He gets along well with other pups and loves playing. I work from home and am able to let dogs out as often as necessary, plus I have a doggie door. We live in a great neighborhood where it is easy to go out for walks. My house has a doggie dog that fits pups up to 80 lbs! It gives them great freedom to move in and out for bathroom breaks as they wish. Although the house is small, it has a large backyard. Norman is a friendly Aussie who loves other dogs, big and small, and would love a play friend. Pups can sit on the couch, just not the beds.
“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!”
“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!!”
“Perri and her precious family were so sweet with my pup. They gave her tons of attention and sent me lots of photos throughout the week. I would be happy to bring her back!”
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all personalities and energy levels. We got my first family dog at age six, and have always had one since! I’m very attentive, reliable, and treat every animal like they’re my own. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a calm, comforting environment, I adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for senior dogs who need extra patience and support. I also understand how important communication is while you’re away, so I make sure to send regular updates, photos, and notes so you feel completely at ease. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re gone. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day. I enjoy staying active, so walks, outdoor time, and play fit naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to accommodate specific feeding schedules, medication routines, or extra check-ins as needed. Creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment is always my top priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established routine to help minimize stress and keep things familiar. I’m attentive on walks, careful with doors, leashes, and feeding instructions, and always make sure pets are supervised appropriately. I also believe communication is key, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind while they’re away.
“Torre took excellent care of my senior dog, giving her meds and following lots of "special instructions." She communicated well with me throughout the day and sent lots of reassuring pictures. I would use her again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation.”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, I offer reliable, attentive pet sitting that puts your pet’s comfort first. I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and support. I’m confident with feeding routines, long walks, and lots of playtime and affection. My goal is always to keep your pet’s daily routine consistent, make them feel secure, and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every animal as if they were my own,because I know how important they are to you. Since both my partner and I work from home, pet care blends naturally into our everyday life. We love starting the day with a walk or playtime, checking in throughout the day, and ending the evening with snuggles or a relaxed wind-down. Having two people at home means there’s always someone nearby to give attention, reassurance, or a quick treat break. It never feels like work; it’s simply part of what we enjoy doing together. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment. At home, pets enjoy a structured routine with plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of companionship, especially since both my partner and I work from home full-time. We’re able to offer nearly constant supervision, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of love throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their established routines closely. I maintain feeding schedules, provide refreshing walks and play sessions, keep their space tidy, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and secure, whether they’re staying with us or I’m visiting them in their familiar space.
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.
“Maple was so excited in the morning to spend another day at Erik’s house. She always has a blast and Erik makes sure to show me how much fun she’s having. Maple came back a very happy and sleepy puppy. Erik is always so accommodating, which makes her trips there so worth it!”
“Paige is great with my dog! My pup went for daycare, and Paige sent frequent updates and seems to genuinely enjoy my dog’s company. I have her booked for boarding too and am comforted knowing my dog will be in great hands!”
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.
“Ally took great care of my anxious dog on very short notice! She was very accommodating of his specific needs and very communicative. Will definitely book with her again!”
About: I had a senior rescue dog of my own (blind and deaf and so sweet), and work from home full time. Happy to hang with your pup during the day and give them a safe, comfy place to relax! No yard, but I do have a park nearby. I’d be the best fit for smaller, lower energy pups, as I live in a very small apartment. I work from home, so will be with your pup throughout the day. We can go out for walks as often as your pup needs! I live in apartment building, so we will likely encounter other dogs on our way in/out - please let me know if they are dog reactive!
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 to be able to extend our warmth to other people's pets. We like to express ourselves to a dog/puppy through cuddling, brushing, belly rubs, and active walks that delight them. We have a third-of-an-acre, fully fenced-in backyard (see our pics!) as well as an array of large public parks within a mile of our house. And we have to mention the nice doggy pool we have added! 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 keep a close eye and ear on the barking and tail wagging, and we don't leave the pet unattended for a minute. We are a couple in midlife who have oodles of time to spend attending to a pet. We have a large fenced-in yard (1/3 acre), a large doggy pool, and multiple city parks within walking distance. Over the past 12 years, we have had our two loving dogs together, and they have trained us well to be attentive to potty breaks, exercise and romping, meal times, occasional snacks, and cuddles.
“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.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside
Chelsea and Chuck were awesome with our 2 (Buckeye & Bessie). I dropped them off in the morning and picked them up late that night. My pups had a beautiful fenced in yard to play in, got a walk and were given their food. I was so thankful to meet such wonderful people who loved caring for our 2 golden retrievers.i will definitely use them again when visiting Denver in the future.
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.
