“Mrs. Charlie is truly the best! She goes above and beyond caring for our puppy and takes extra precautions (honestly, mostly for my peace of mind!) to make sure Benny’s time away from us is always a success. We were away for a full week, and Benny was only 6 months old at the time—she was incredibly patient, kind, and understanding, especially knowing that many of the dogs and experiences he was exposed to were completely new to him. Benny absolutely loved playing with his new friends and going to the dog park with Mrs. Charlie. She kept us informed the entire time, sent daily pictures, and made us feel completely confident that he was safe, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be using her again!”
“Marisa took such good care of Charlie during our short time in Denver. I booked her last minute and she was so responsive and communicative. I felt very comfortable having Charlie with her. Marisa sends pictures throughout the day. I highly recommend Marisa as your dog sitter!”
“Claudia and her family is so sweet! I can tell they take care of any fur babies that come and stay. Thank you so much for taking in my Queen Bea!”
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).
“Aly did such an amazing job with my pups! She made me and them feel so comfortable and was great at communicating. Will definitely use again and highly recommend. Thank you Aly!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 8 with my families business. As an adult I’ve always had dogs and they are my best friendS. Whether I’m walking your dogs or boarding them they will be treated as my own. With love and care. My pups get a minimum of 2 1 mile walks per day ( Morning and evening ) in addition to yard time and cuddle time on the couch. I have a fenced yard and hardwood floors. Plenty of toys and dog beds to go around. When pups are not under supervision they are in appropriately sized crates with water and a toy. My 2 very energetic and playful pups will keep yours happy and entertained and we will show yours the same love we show ours.
“My gsp loved being at Daviana’s! Our pups got along so well, and she made my pup feel right at home. Super communicative and flexible with scheduling. Will book with her again!”
“Kayla and Nate truly love the dogs they watch. They made me feel comfortable that my Daisy was warmly accepted and she had a great time. After the doggie day care day was over, she was worn out that evening! Exactly what I wanted for her. Thank you Kayla and Nate, I appreciate you caring for my girl the way I do.”
“Heather and James took the best care of our babies for the day! We also asked them to take our older girl last minute and they were super accommodating. They looked like they had the best day. Murray is the sweetest most welcoming boy and Heather and James are so easy to communicate with. Highly recommend for your fur babies!”

She gets lots of play time with the other dogs and Heather is very accommodating with Paisley's puppy needs, and is also very flexible with her schedule.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Watkins on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 4,114 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.
