“Dallas was great! Very flexible and great communication. She sent updates and photos throughout the day. Great environment and backyard. I think Sloane had a great time. Would recommend!”
“Mrs. Charlie did a fantastic job watching my dog last week. From start to finish, she was incredibly professional, warm, and friendly. Her place was really clean, organized, and peaceful. She is extremely detail-oriented, followed all my care instructions perfectly, and provided a complete report at the end of the day. She made sure my dog had a safe and happy environment. I cannot recommend her highly enough and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: Just 15 minutes from Denver International Airport! Countless dogs have been in my life since I was 3 years old! From my own Yorkie pups, to my neighbor’s Labrador’s, I’ve gained experience with loving, training, and supporting animals through every paw-step of their life. I have experience with newborn puppies (from their mother giving birth to 8 weeks old and longer!) to the delicate sunset years of seniors. From feeding, to walking, to grooming, I can tell you that every dog is different, with various needs and wants, just like humans! Once I learn what your furbaby needs, I won’t rest until they have it. Some pets have allergies, some pets have enormous amounts of energy, but all pets need love! From the moment I wake up, pets are a part of my life! I have a remote job that allows me to spend all day with your furry friends and adhere to whatever they need. Im only one bark away when your pup is around! Trust is the first step to any animal relationship. With my 20 years of experience, I have developed a keen eye for dog body language. Adapting to their mood and knowing how to keep them safe in correlation to how they feel is my number one priority. On walks, I will be sure to check how your pup feels every step. I will approach, avoid, or distract them when the situation calls for it. During house sitting and drop-ins, I will learn your rules for the house and apply them with as much love as you do! From going outside to lounging indoors, your pet will have just as much safety and support as when you’re home! I have crate trained dogs, walked dogs leashed and non-leashed, and dealt with multiple temperaments. Whatever your dog is used to, I can easily adapt to them.
“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!!”
“Lindsay and her family are the best!! They took such good care of Nala and we were so lucky she got to go to their house weekly. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a caring/loving family to watch their puppy!”
“Such a fantastic experience for both me and my dog! Heather and her husband James are both so lovely! Their big sweet dog Murray played very well with my little Chihuahua. The layout of their home is perfect for caring for multiple dogs and their back yard is secured by a 6-foot fence with locked gates. I’m so glad I found them and I look forward to having them care for my little pup again!”
“We know Frankie is in good hands with Heather. We love the pictures she’s sends us, our puppy always looks like she’s having so much fun! Will book again for daycare and boarding!”
“Briana was great! Very thankful her and her family were patient with my youngest dog, who did not behave well today. She consistently updated me on how my dogs were doing and sent pictures.”
About: Hi! I'm a registered nurse who works remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it's extra potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I have a fully fenced yard and live right next to a park, so dogs get plenty of opportunities for exercise and fresh air. I've owned both cats and dogs over the years and have experience pet sitting for each. I'm also comfortable caring for senior pets and administering medications, including insulin injections, and have experience managing pets with different feeding needs. One of the perks of my location is that I'm just minutes from the airport! You're welcome to drop your pet off on your way to your flight, and if needed, you can even park in front of my house while you're away. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pets like they're my own. I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work from home and my boss is very lenient so I can step away for walks or play time! I am very flexible and live near Green Valley Ranch area. Happy to travel to you or do overnights stays in your home if that works best for your schedule. I have a house and live right next to a park for long walks. My home is open to cats and dogs needing a place to stay. No pets currently at the home so your pet will fell welcome and loved!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was younger. I would help the neighbors out and walk their dogs, feed them, and lots of play. I’m a dog lover and an active person. I love to stay busy and would love a furry friend to come to parks with me. I work nights and my daughter is in school so the days are open for me to give your furry friend a fun person to hang with. 😊 I also do a lot of running and hiking during the days. I have parks walking distance to my house where the pups can play. Transportation if needed. Very clean and organized person who believes in if you make the mess clean it up.

“Yael was flexible, prompt, and took such great care of Terra! She left happy and sleepy & I can tell that she was very well taken care of. Thank you so much!!”
“Sharon is really amazing, so nice and welcoming and takes good care of dogs. Cacao our puppy had a great time with her. He played in her ranch with her lovely dogs and saw the horses I could tell when I picked him up that he really had a good time. By the time we got home he was tired from all the playing and slept right away. Will definitely be using her again.”

About: Hi there- we are Natalie & Scott! About Your Pup's Walk/Drop-in Visit With over 10 years of pet sitting and walking experience -and as dog parents ourselves- we know how difficult it is to be away from your pup, so it is our number one priority to ensure a safe and fun environment for your furry one. We provide all-day walks or drop-in visits as we both work remotely. We walk our own two dogs at least 2 miles every day and are familiar with the local loops.

He’s the sweetest boy and loves ALL people and pups. He is obsessed with fetch and never gets enough attention (classic Golden). He truly doesn’t know a stranger and befriends everyone he meets. Maggie is a 5-year old, 70(ish) pound Golden Retriever. She’s currently on a weight loss journey but loves nothing more than breakfast/dinner time and her plushie toys. Together, they’re the sweetest duo! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any requests or questions!

Let us know if you have special care requests :) We have a large fenced-in backyard, which the pups can access at anytime. We also have an external lock on our fence for additional security.
“Thanks Talise! It was great to meet up with Talise before our first day of daycare. She took the time to get to know my dog and so he knew her and could be comfortable staying with her for the day. Drop off was tough for my dog, but she was reassuring and made sure to provide updates and pictures an hour after drop off to ease my worries.”
“Absolutely great!!! I am so happy I found Jessie! My dog Sasha was well cared for, I know! Picture updates throughout the day and worn out pup in the evening! Will definitely use again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Watkins is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $35 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 4,032 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.
As of October 2026, there are 4,032 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of CO. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
