Charlie is absolutely tremendous! She watched our dog, Ava, while we were away at a retreat, and we couldn't have asked for better support. Charlie made everything possible and went out of her way to ensure Ava was well cared for and that we felt completely at ease. She is truly awesome, and we felt so supported throughout the entire stay. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and thoughtful sitter!

Janyssa is amazing! She takes such good care of my little guy during the day. She provides updates throughout the day and lets me know of any concerns. My buddy loves to visit her, and he’s always a happy boy when I pick him up! Thank you Janyssa for caring for my little one!

About: As someone who works from home, I am able to give your pet as much attention as possible while you’re away! My dog is part of my family, and I always care for other pets the way I would hope others would care for mine. I am able to match my day to your dog’s needs, which means I’m always available to take them on walks, out to play, or for a potty break when they need it. I have a cozy home and a 2-year-old dog who loves making new friends. We also have an onsite dog area and that makes it easy to take dogs out for fresh air!

Ashley was incredible with our senior dog, Boss. She was super kind, flexible, and totally understanding. From the start, she listened to everything we told her about Boss without any judgment and made adjustments throughout the day based on what he needed. We originally planned for him to stay until 6 PM, but we got stuck in Denver traffic and didn’t get back until 7. Ashley was so understanding about the delay. Her dogs were really sweet and clearly well socialized, but she still made sure Boss had his own space to relax. He ended up chilling in his bed on her desk, just watching her work like the little grandpa he is. She took him outside regularly and made sure he was comfortable the whole time. At one point she even carried him around in a baby sling so he could get the skin-to-skin contact he loves. She genuinely cared about making him feel safe and cozy, which meant a lot to us. She also sent us updates every few hours, which really helped us feel at ease while we were out. Her pricing is super reasonable, and she made it clear she’d take him to the emergency animal hospital nearby and contact us right away if anything went wrong. Thankfully, it didn’t! We’d 100 percent use Ashley again for doggy daycare or sitting. Boss was in amazing hands.

Taylor and her family were amazing! Our pup loved them and their dog, Hailey. My wife and I needed to go to Longmont for the day, and we dropped our pup off at 10am and picked her up at 8pm. Taylor provided potty and feeding updates, and sent some cute photos to us. We will definitely be utilizing her services again!

About: Just like you, I have animals that I love with my whole heart and would want in the best care possible at all times. This peace of mind is what I aim to provide for your family whenever your animals are in my care. I have 8+ years of experience caring for animals including dogs, cats, horses, birds, rodents, and amphibians alike. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, senior cats, and puppies, administering medication through food or treats, and dog grooming experience (bathe, brush, and nails). I am pleased to offer care for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and breeds. I am a stay at home wife & dog + mouse mom. I am extremely responsible, friendly, reliable, and fun! I am very quick with my response time. I try to keep my schedule as open as I can so that I can always help out last minute! I take very detailed notes on all my clients so I will never miss any important information about your animals. I make sure to follow all owner commands, training, and care instructions exactly. For all HOUSESITTING BOOKINGS: Whenever I wake up and after feeding your pups, I always make it my priority to take them on a 30-60 minute walk (or follow whatever their routine is). After taking your animals out, my day begins with many walks, drop ins, and meet and greets. Whenever my drop in visits / meet and greets are done or I have a pause in my day, I come back and your animals have all my attention! FOR ALL DOGGY DAY CARE BOOKINGS: I own and live in a condo on the 3rd floor! I pride myself on maintaining a clean, healthy living space. Plenty of room to run around the home and play fetch. We also have a fenced in dog park that your babies are more than welcome to enjoy with constant supervision from myself. Dogs will be let out every 30mins -2 hrs (or as needed). You can bring a crate, or I have an XXL dog crate. Furry friends will only be crated if leaving the house for a short period of time, or if they need a break/separation. I have a 1.5 yr old Boston Terrier named Bubba that loves friends, big or small. Out of home leashed introduction required (will consider special circumstances, dogs can be separated if needed). We look forward to hosting you! While your pets are in my care we will snuggle, play with their favorite toys, go on walks, runs, or hikes, and enjoy some treats. Please keep in mind that I am happy and pleased to accommodate YOUR pets routine. What works for some won’t work for all, and everyone is different. Let’s come up with the best game plan together to take care of your baby! I can’t wait to meet your animals and love them like one of my own. From me to you- best , Liv (Olivia). **please keep in mind that there may be a fee adjustment dependent on circumstances** Currently I am a stay at home wife / dog mom! I have a flexible & free schedule, so that provides me with a ton of room to help out on short notice, and be someone you can consistently count on. When your pet is with me safety and well being are the number 1 priorities. I always make sure all doors are closed after entering the home, triple checking to make sure collars, harnesses, and leashes are well secured before going outside, and keeping my eyes open around the environment that we are going to be walking / hanging out in. I always keep the dog(s) I am taking care of away from other dogs. You never know what will happen, so always better to cross the street and avoid and potential situations. I provide a pet report card after each visit with fun details and lots of cute pictures!

About: Aside from my own dogs that I've had my whole life, I have also watched friends' and neighbors' dogs since middle school. I've taken care of dogs of all ages and breeds, and honestly, there hasn't been a single one I have not loved. I take pride in saying that I will watch your dog as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs who have medical conditions as well, such as arthritis, seizures, restricted diets, etc. I'm currently just a stay-at-home mom of one baby boy and one fur baby boy. We love getting out of the house every day and walking, or going to the park, and we always love to have some extra company! I am a stay-at-home mom so that leaves me a lot of time to play with your fur babies and love on them. This also allows me to follow any schedules that your dog may want or need to follow. Also, my dog loves to go out back, and run around or sunbathe, very often so that means that there are very frequent potty break for your dogs as well! I have fenced yard and a super active fur baby and a toddler. My dog is always happy to run circles or play tug of war, and my toddler is always happy to throw a Frisbee or ball for any and all dogs (whether they are interested or not). As for me, I am happy to offer cuddles and companionship for your fur babies. I know it's hard to leave your dogs behind, but it is also hard for them as well. My goal is to make them feel as at home as possible. For example, dogs often do not want to eat when they miss their owners, so I try to alleviate this by adding rice or chicken to their food (with parents permission, of course).

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Watkins

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Watkins on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,063 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Watkins. 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 Watkins 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 4,063 sitters in Watkins, 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.
