“Jessica was great with my dog! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay! My dog had a great time hanging out with her pup as well. I really appreciate Jessica accepting my booking so last minute. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Shanik and family are wonderful pet hosts. Mila loved to spend the days with them. She was happy to play ball outside in the snow for her first time. Shanik took care of Mila while my family and I were out skiing. Mila felt like she was home! Thank you!”
“Nicholas was great quick and easy to communicate with. He took our dog Shaka on all his errands for the day (mostly indoors because it was super cold) and hung out with him at his work. Shaka was relaxed and asleep when I collected him.”
“We are very pleased to have found Chris. He was great with our senior dog who can have some anxiety with new places. Chris communicated well and is very kind. Zeke looks forward to his next visit!”
“Jacky was amazing!!! She was very fast in responding, super friendly, and accommodated my two dogs (one of which can be dog selective). She truly went above and beyond taking care of them. Very lucky to have found her!! Thank you Jacky!!”
About: I have experience for 40 years with animals. I have had cats, fish, giant dogs, small dogs and all those in between. I have had puppies and seniors, and I love them all. I work for myself so I can be home when I need to be. I can keep your pups routine so they are happy and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and 2 well behaved dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate avlb if your pup is crate trained.
“Our dog Ollie is generally pretty anxious when we leave him away. With Rui, he calmed down really quickly and they had a great day! Rui provided updates and many pictures at the conclusion of Ollie’s stay”
About: I’ve always loved being around and caring for dogs! I’ve had a dog of my own for almost my whole life, who I care for on the daily. When a friend is in need of a dog sitter they come to me and I care for their pup like my own! I am home very often on a daily basis so I have lots of time to spend with your pet and care for their needs! This leaves plenty of time for play and attention. I have a big fenced in yard where the dog can run and play along with my energetic 4 year old dog. Your pet can be crated if needed/desired but is welcome on the furniture just like my dog!
“Allison and John were so amazing and took great care of my doggie. They were also super communicative, took lots of pictures and did two walks. Their home has a really nice backyard. I feel super grateful, thank you Allison and John for taking such good care of Yara 🌸🥹”
“We have been traveling for a week and changing plans due to the lack of snow so we made a very last minute request and Emma was super flexible and communicative. She took great care of Minnie! Minnie can be anxious when away from home but was much calmer than usual when we picked her up. When Minnie needed space from Emma’s playful dogs, Emma gave Minnie her own space in the house. We got updates and photos during the day too. We highly recommend Emma and would use her again if we’re traveling in this area again.”
About: Although I am long distance from my fur best friends right now, I’ve grown up caring for dogs my entire life, including senior dogs and pups with disabilities. I also raised a rambunctious yellow Lab puppy on my own, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities. I believe every dog deserves patience, love, and attentive care, and I’ll treat yours like they’re my own. As a college student, I’m looking to earn some extra income doing something I genuinely love—caring for animals. My class schedule is very flexible, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, sticking to a routine, or simply keeping them company while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday life, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. My home has a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and plenty of space to relax indoors. There is almost always someone home to provide attention, companionship, and care, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I am a caring, responsible household and will treat your pet like a member of the family while they’re in my care.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for weeks at a time for the past four years in Colorado and Southern California. I love having your pup around as a friend and companion here in boulder, CO! Your dog can expect lots of walks, hikes, playing in our backyard, and many cuddles! I work remotely from home so have time to take your dog out on walks, feed them at the times they are used to, and hang out and play! I have a fenced in backyard and a park right around the corner. I am comfortable taking your dogs on walks and hikes in the area!
“Tigran was easy to communicate with and was able to take care of Ruby on short notice. It seems she had a great time and was well taken care of!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and got one of my own as soon as I could. I love dogs and will treat yours as I would my own. We love to walk, hike, take the dogs swimming and fishing. My dog, Willie, is a sweet heart and will keep your dog company! Thanks for considering us and let us know if you have any questions! My boyfriend and I live together and he works full time from home and I’m in the office 3 days a week. Your pets will be well taken care of as we have lots of time to tend to them We have a shared backyard that we use for our dog and a park less than 5 minutes walking. Our dog is treated just like another human in the house and we will do the same for yours.
“J’Ana was absolutely incredible with our pup, Scout! From the moment we met her, we could tell how genuinely caring and loving she is, and that only became more evident throughout our stay in Boulder. She treated Scoutie like her own, giving her so much attention, affection, and thoughtful care. Her communication was outstanding the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. And the photos she sent were beyond amazing—her husband being a professional photographer definitely shows! Each update made us smile and reassured us that Scout was happy, comfortable, and in the best hands. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We will absolutely be booking J’Ana again the next time we’re back in Boulder, and we strongly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely love and care for their pet like their own. She is truly wonderful!! 🐶🐾💖”
“Celia and Mark took excellent care of my dog, Winston! He has separation anxiety so I was quite nervous to leave him with someone else but they handled it beautifully! He got a lot of play time and a walk, and loved running around in their yard. Celia and Mark kept me updated with pictures and videos so I knew he was doing well. I highly recommend them!”
“Alison was awesome with Metta and sent wonderful photos throughout the day (replete with humorful tag lines). She is a gem of a caregiver, your dog will be lucky to spend a day with her and her canine companions!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ward
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,169 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Ward. 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 Ward 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 1,169 sitters in Ward, 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.
