“Nikki did a fantastic job taking care of our 6 month old puppy. She treated him as her own and sent updates with details on how the day was going. She also sent pictures. I would recommend Nikki to everyone.”
About: I grew up with dogs! I l have always been asked to watch a freinds dog or a family friend’s dog! I have plenty of experience with animals, I used to foster dogs and puppies, I did that for 2 years! I stay at home mostly all the time, I mainly do school, and take care of my dog or I clean up the house. I prefer it that way. I live in a very open house, nothing that animals would hurt themselves with around, a big fenced in backyard, tons of toys and plenty of food and water
About: I offer attentive, reliable pet care tailored to each dog’s needs. I have a 10 month old Golden Retriever who is friendly, playful, and loves every dog, creating a positive and social environment. I’m experienced with puppy routines, basic training reinforcement, and administering medications. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication so you can feel confident your pet is in loving, capable hands. I work from home most days, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and supervision, and I can easily adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. I do not have a fenced yard but our apartment has a fenced dog park. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets are treated like family. My own pet is my world, and I bring that same level of care, attention, and responsibility to every animal I look after.
About: I don’t work so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your fur babies. I have had dogs my whole life. As an adult I have cared for them in every stage of life, including bottle feeding new borns and administering meds. I treat them like family and believe in spoiling them. I have two little ones of my own right now and they are my babies, and I would care for yours the same. I currently don’t work so I am available for over night and day time care and lots of puppy playtime. Can also be available on short notice. I have a fenced yard and two fur babies of my own to keep yours company. We allow them on the couch and in bed for over nights stays if that’s what you prefer. Can also crate them if needed. They are family in our house.
About: I am a native to Colorado and love the outdoors. Growing up, I had a house of large dogs (mastiff's, huskies, newfoundlands, golden retrievers, shitzu's and chihuahuas). I am very familiar with most large and small breeds and their needs. We have a 1 year old neutered Yorkie and he loves new friends. Our family loves animals and we would love to sit with yours, love on them, take them on our adventures (walks), cuddle with them, play with them and make them feel very comfortable . We will take care of your babies the same way I take care of mine. Our day starts out with potty time at 5:00am and have breakfast. After breakfast, we will go on a quick (20 min) morning walk. There will be lots of time to play and nap throughout the day before dinner at 5:00p.m. After dinner, we go on another evening walk and then call it an evening. The animals are like our family members and are able to nap and get comfortable where they see fit. I have a fenced yard with 1 small dog. We go on daily walks, car rides and have lots of toys throughout the house. I have several years of experience working with animals and your animal will be in good hands.
About: Hiya! I’m Sharon, animal lover and friend to all creatures big and small! I grew up taking care of everything from dogs to cats, fish, anoles, rabbits, birds, and guinea pigs. I have a special bond with my elderly family dog and have just finished fostering Chloe, a high energy anxious kitty belonging to my friend. I have plenty of experience with basic training, redirection, harness and carrier training, and oral and topical medicine administration. I hope to be your pet’s second favorite human!! I currently work part time as I prepare for law school, so I have lots of flexibility to focus on pet care! I love to schedule some hikes and trail runs into my week, so I’m always happy to give your pet a fun run! I am always happy to have a meetup before watching your pets to see if we all get along! I am attentive to animal body language and am good at making sure any dog or cat doesn’t get to the point of lashing out. I can assist with redirection or other training if needed. If your pets have any specific needs or you have restrictions or concerns, I’m open to chatting and seeing if my services can align with your needs!
“Jordan and Chris were amazing, highly recommend!! Our fur baby, Axel, can be very particular with his people, but he warmed up to Jordan straight away. They were willing to meet for an initial meet and greet, which really gave us a peace of mind. We received updates, along with pictures during his stay, needlessto say Axel was already snuggling with Jordan and invading her space like he does at home. Thank you so much for taking in Axel and treating him so well. We wished we lived closer!”
About: I’m an animal lover with three years of dog‑sitting experience. I’m happy to welcome your pets into my home, and I’m equally comfortable caring for them in yours. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well‑loved while you’re away. I work from home and have a really flexible schedule. This means your dog will never be alone and I can walk them at their regularly scheduled time. I have two small dogs - one 9 pounds and one 16 pounds. They love to have friends over to play. We also have a fully fenced backyard where the dogs can run, play, and get fresh air.
“These two are the most genuine people I have met they took good care of our Rocky he is a super shy boy but he felt right at home after a little bit definitely recommend”
“Bettina and James are such nice people who did a great job taking care of our energetic dog. Their dog Sam was a great play buddy. Jackson came home tired and happy. We highly recommend Bettina, James, and Sam!”
“Alisha was fantastic, she gave me the piece of mind to trust her with my little girl stormi. It was nice knowing that she was well taken care of since we are not from the area. I would not hesitate in the slightest to ask Alisha to host my doggy again in the future. Thank you again Alisha ! - Stormi and Stormis Dad ??”
“Michele and her husband provided excellent care for our two dogs over a three-day period. Their communication was consistently clear and effective. We will be booking again soon.”
“Bruce had a fantastic day with their family! I know because Olivia was kind enough to send adorable pictures and videos. I am so glad I was able to find such a wonderful family that looked after him as if he were their own. I couldn’t have hoped for a better day for the little fella!”
About: I have had pets my entire life, but as an adult only had dogs. I am a physical therapist by trade so I do have a health background. I have done insulin shots for a diabetic cat and ACL rehab for a dog. I have done bandages for small wounds from sharp rocks when hiking or a torn nail. Let me know your pups needs! I did Rover over the summer while ai was home and loved it! I do work outside my home, but my schedule and hours vary. If I need to check in on your pup or provide a snack, don’t hesitate to reach out. I do have some days where it can be 7-8 hours that I am gone, but I will let you know if that’s the case. I am married and the mom of 3 teen age girls who love dogs and want another one. They would love to cuddle, love and play with your dog while in my care! I will take your dog on daily walks with our dog pup and make sure they are happy! Our dog Tulsa loves other dogs and warms up quickly. She loves walks and hikes. She is not food aggressive at all but loves treats! Let me know what your pup needs. Tulsa is crated during our absence and I would prefer to do the same for your pup if we are out. When I am home, Tulsa gets free rein of the main floor and supervision in basement and upstairs for safety. She sleeps in my bedroom and night and I would do the same for your pup, or crate if that’s what you prefer. Tulsa is trained to ask to get on furniture but is sneaky sometimes. If your dog is allowed on furniture, we will allow that on our main sofa, but keep them off our front room sofa - it’s white. I can accommodate special diets and medication, but Tulsa does not have either of those.
“Melinda was great with Zoey!, she watched her for 2 days and Zoey was completely cool with going back the 2nd day. Melinda sent us updates and pictures of Zoey during the day. I would definitely recommend Melinda, and if we return to Colorado Springz will use her again 😊❤️”
“Lorraine was awesome. She was able to watch my elderly dog on last minute notice, and I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. She spoiled him, send me updates and pics along the way. Thank you so much!!”
“I am so happy to have Miriam as someone that I can trust with my dog, Roxy, for anything that comes up. I am active duty military so I have trainings or cannot take Roxy to appointments sometimes. Miriam is always accommodating to what I need and Roxy loves her! So I can feel at ease knowing she is takinf great care of Roxy and that Roxy is with someone she feels safe with. Thank you Miriam!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Palmer Lake on Rover is $42.2 per day (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,668 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Palmer Lake. 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 Palmer Lake 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 1,668 sitters in Palmer Lake, 88% 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.
