Doggy Day Care Leyden

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.

“Lingo loved it. Merisa was very caring and provided lots of updates throughout the day. Her dog Desi is very playful and cute. Thank you again!”

“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!”

“Cameron was so great with my puppy! My puppy was so excited to go and play with Cameron’s dogs, and he came home tired out after running around all day. He provided great feedback every day, and always responded to my inquiries quickly. 10/10 would recommend Cameron to anyone needing dog care!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had dogs. I currently have 3 chihuahua mixes. I used to foster dogs through a local rescue. I work from home full time. Flexible work days and can easily add your pet(s) to my routine. Have a fenced in yard for anyone interested in boarding or care in my home. I have a fenced in yard and 3 friendly dogs to keep your pet(s) company at my home. Will follow your safety protocols in your home.

About: We share our home with a 15 years young, grumpy old-man Chihuahua, a 7-year old Chihuahua mix, and a new Husky-mix puppy. Dogs provide us with so much love and kindness on a daily basis, that's why I believe we should offer that same kindness back to them! Rochelle has been caring for dogs for well over a decade, from totally healthy to those needing special care (medicine, slower walks, special feeding requirements). In general, our pups get along great with low-energy dogs and low-energy dogs are ideal clients! Though, the puppy can also help us with higher energy pups. Rochelle works from home full time. We REQUIRE a meet and greet prior to booking new clients, no exceptions. Due to medical concerns, Rochelle is only able to care for small to medium size dogs for the safety of your dog(s) and my own safety. Willing to consider dogs who are larger in size only if they have completed intensive behavioral training (such as therapy dog training or hunting dog training) in which your dog will respond to commands 100% of the time. Thank you for your understanding. Note: I had a name change in 2024 from Caitlyn to Rochelle. Ben was added to the account in 2026. We’re happy to share our home with pups!

“Very friendly!”

About: Hi, I’m Vanessa! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets, including seniors, rescues, and animals with medical needs. Whether your pet needs medication, a special diet, or just a little extra patience, I’m here to help. As a pet parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave your animal with someone new. That’s why I prioritize communication, consistency, and care that’s tailored to your pet’s unique personality. I’m calm, dependable, and always happy to provide photo updates and cuddles. 🐶 I offer: • Drop-in visits, walks, and overnight care • Experience with dogs, cats, bearded dragons & more Booking Policies: 🐾 A meet & greet is required for all new dogs 🐾 A complete pet profile is required (behavior, quirks, crate routine, etc.) 🐾 I do not accept bookings without full pet info 🐾 Please disclose if there are any firearms or security devices in the home Doggy Day Care I welcome up to 2 dogs per day in my home in Arvada. Coco, my friendly and sociable spaniel, loves making new friends! I do require that all dogs are crate trained, as I also have cats and a bearded dragon at home. A meet and greet is required for all new clients. Please allow at least 48 hours notice for existing clients and 1 week for new clients. 🐾 I want your pet to feel safe and comfortable, and I want to feel prepared to give them the best care. Let’s connect and see if we’re a great match! I structure my schedule around my clients’ needs, making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. I’m a calm, reliable presence and genuinely enjoy building bonds with the animals I care for. My days always feel more complete when I’ve spent time with pets! In a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routines. I’m respectful of your space and follow all instructions carefully, from medication to feeding details. I also check in with updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection. I tailor care to each pet’s personality.

“Anna’s dog day care was amazing! We received lots of pics and videos during the day and I was able to rest easy at work knowing that my puppy was being taken such good care of. She even went on a walk in addition to the dogs getting to play out in a big yard most of the day. Anna is very trustworthy and reliable.”

“Sehwa and Adam were so great! Our Nova seemed to love them and they sent updates throughout her day. They were very understanding when we had to postpone for a day due to changing work schedule and when Nova had an accident. This was our first time using Rover so Nova was probably a little extra nervous but they were so nice about it. I would highly recommend Sehwa and Adam, and would love to use them again in the future :)”

Sierra A.

“Amelia is amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone. She sent me a video and picture updates throughout the day. Willow came home a very happy pup and we will be coming back. Thanks Amelia for your kindness!”

About: I grew up with German shepherds as a young boy and have loved dogs ever since..And the first choice for family and friends when they need a dog sitter for their love ones I am currently single and living alone so your dogs would receive my full attention.😊🐶 I have a quarter acre fenced backyard so your dad can run and play in safety and comfort..I love to run and play throw frisbees tennis balls and even get out the portable pool for the dogs to Play it cool off in.. I am dedicated to the dogs I care for. Your pet will have my full attention and will get all the love and care they need I am focused on the pets that I care for and will give them as much exercise as the owner requests, Bottom line is I just love dogs!!

About: A Lifetime of Animal Stewardship My approach to pet care is rooted in a lifetime of experience. Growing up on a dairy farm, I learned the "dawn-to-dusk" responsibility of animal husbandry across multiple species. I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have served as a trusted sitter for dozens of friends and family members, managing everything from high-energy puppies to seniors with specific medical needs. What I bring to the table: • Farm-Raised: Comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. • A "Coach’s Eye": Attentive to health, movement, and behavior changes. • Total Reliability: A professional, mature environment where your dog is the priority. Structured, Work-From-Home Care Because I manage my professional life from home, your pet will enjoy a calm, consistent environment with minimal "alone time." My lifestyle is active and outdoors-focused, meaning your dog will receive meaningful engagement and physical activity tailored to their specific energy level and temperament. Professional Discipline & Training Consistency I have been a coach and a teacher and bring a professional level of discipline and observational skill to every stay. I understand that a "tired dog is a happy dog," but I also know that consistency is key. I pride myself on maintaining the exact training boundaries and command structures you’ve worked hard to establish. Whether it's leash manners or specific house rules, I adapt to your dog's routine to ensure they feel secure and settled. I live in a townhouse with an unfenced, shared lawn.

About: My husband and I work remotely five days a week, and at least one of us is always around the house in the evenings, outside of regular work hours. We also have a spacious fenced-in backyard that has easy pet door access. Because of our setup, we can always keep an eye on your pet and keep them engaged, safe, and happy (both of our home offices overlook our backyard). Both of us had many pets growing up—from Schautzters to Australian Shepherds to Welsh Corgies—and today we have our goofy, energetic Border Collie (Bennie) and our cat (Sebastian). Because we only take one dog at a time, your furry friend will get plenty of one-on-one attention, walks, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. We also live very near a great open space for dogs that Bennie loves to walk to. We never leave Bennie alone for more than a few hours at a time and try our best to avoid it altogether. We will absolutely extend the same—if not better—to your pet. We prefer dogs that are cat-friendly and generally well-behaved. The cat has his own fenced-off section of the house, but he roams free. We’re happy to follow your dog’s routine and will be happy to keep you updated with many photos and messages! My husband and I work remotely from home, so we have lots of availability for dog sitting/boarding! We are always around the house and will be available to be contacted throughout the stay. Our home has a big fenced-in backyard with an easy-access pet door. Bennie (our dog) spends most of his day outside but has full access to food and water inside. We can always accommodate if you'd prefer more restricted access for your dog. One of us is always home, so your dog will have plenty of supervision and care. We love dogs and understand how difficult it is to leave them with a stranger, so we will do absolutely everything in our power to make you and your pet feel comfortable and communicate with you as much as you prefer.

“Kristen is great! She’s very professional and kind, and her dog Ollie is a very sweet big boy who’s gentle with my small puppy. Highly recommended for your Rover needs!”

“Lucas has been very responsive and outgoing! He’s made every attempt to make sure both our dog and us feel taken care of and happy. He’s quick to respond, sends lots of updates, and is very personable. We plan on using Lucas for our weekly rover needs!”

About: I have had many dogs in my life. My most recent dog was Journey, she was a sweetheart rescue from a puppy mill who I retrained to become comfortable with her surrounding again. I’ve had to administer medication to my dogs, as well as training them from puppies, and caring for through their senior years. I do have some appointments and commitments, butI am mostly free throughout the week! I love going for short walks, as well as spending quality time with the dogs I care for! I have a fenced in yard and live in a neighborhood with easy walking access to a pond. My home has no pets in it currently, and dogs are allowed inside my home as well.
