About: I am a total animal person :) I love all animals and especially dogs. I treat all dogs as if they were my own companion. I love to reward them with high quality treats and natural peanut butter. I grew up taking care of all types of animals. I had chinchillas, rabbits, dogs, hamsters, fish etc.. I have been training dogs for 28 years and have watched and read a lot of dog training videos and books. Lennon was a very diificult dog to train because she's incredibly smart, independent and not very food motivated. I understand how to deal with all types of personalities/ quirks and needs from my wide range of dogs I have cared for. I have watched 14 year old standard poodles with a lot of anxiety and medical issues, to a shy mini poodle or a collie that wants to chase Lennon all day every day. Also my dog Lennon has severe allergies and very sensitive skin etc. so she takes medicine daily and I give her probiotics and am always watching to make sure she's not having a bad reaction. She has gone into anaphylaxis twice and luckily I knew the signs and was able to get her to the vet just in time to save her life. I take dog care very seriously because of this, if I notice any change in behavior or red eyes etc. I will notify you immediately and see what the course of action should be. I value giving pet owners peace of mind because I know what it is like to be worried about your animal while traveling and theres no worse feeling. I love to send lots of pictures and videos so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. I watched dogs on Rover for 2 years before in Georgia when I was married and unfortunately it was all booked under my ex's profile so you can't see all my reviews. I take my Aussie-doodle Lennon for daily walks and have multiple playtime sessions daily with fetch balls, plush toys, doing tricks, playing tug a war etc. I also have a big comfy couch downstairs I love to snuggle with my pup on. When the weather is nice I love to go on dog friendly hikes during (between 1-4 miles) nothing too crazy especially if it is hot outside. If your dog is snuggly, I offer snuggles. If they are play oriented I offer tons of play and my pup Lennon LOVES to play and chill (she's very insanely emotionally intelligent). She knows when to play and when to relax - which I love about her. I will always take dogs for walks (weather permitting) and take them out to potty every 3-4 hours minimum.
“Georgia was great! My nervous pup had a good time and was relaxed and happy when I picked her up. Communication was fast and clear, and I received an update mid-day.”
“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.”
“Jacky was AMAZING with Mecum, I swear he had the best night of his life. She was super attentive to his needs and brought him for many fun activities. Best Rover person I’ve ever met!!! I’m so grateful I met her and can’t wait for future trips for her to hang out with him! :) he moved right in and loved it. Thank you, Jacky! She also sent me frequent updates throughout the night and sent pictures/ videos. You’re the best, Jacky!!!!”
“Emilie helped us out tremendously with some last minute day care. She's quick to respond, friendly, and I felt at ease leaving our pup with her. Two big thumbs up from us!”
About: I’ve been in love with dogs since I can remember, and my favorite type of work/volunteering has always involved them. When I was 15 I started dog sitting for my family friend, I watched and walked little Johnny twice a week for almost 2 years while his mom was out doing errands. After that, I started volunteering at the LoveJoy Foundation, an animal rescue in California. I walked dogs, cleaned crates, and even helped with vaccinations once a week at adoption events! My time at LoveJoy was one of the most rewarding experiences ever, and it taught me how to work with different types of dogs and different behaviors, including neurodivergent and disabled pups. I have a family dog of my own, sweet Montana, who will always be my best friend no matter how far apart we are. Montana is a bit older now, so we mostly enjoy hanging out on the couch together, but in his prior years I loved taking him on hikes, to the dog beach, and really anywhere that I went. I also have a crested gecko named Axel! I’m currently a junior at CU Boulder, so I do have school during the week but only for about 2-3 hours each day, most of the time I’m home to care for a pup! I absolutely love being outside here in Boulder, it’s too beautiful not to be, so walks and adventures are plentiful! I have a large house for your pup to roam around, but if it’s preferred that he stays in a crate during the day I can accommodate that too! My yard isn’t fenced, but we would have a lot of outside time at the park and on walks exploring all corners of Boulder. I do have experience dog sitting in client’s homes, I know that some dogs are probably more comfortable staying in their own home!
“Lisa and her boyfriend were incredible caregivers for Lulu!!! She seemed to get comfortable immediately (which is rare for her) and I got lots of pics and updates to ensure my comfort with this first daycare visit. I feel really lucky to have found Lisa and will absolutely book again.”
“Bretta is incredible! She was so patient and caring for my pup during his stays with her. He was extremely anxious but she was able to help him feel secure while I was away. She did an excellent job of checking in and trying methods to help my dog. We were so lucky to find her and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a truly caring sitter and an overall quality stay!”
“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 🌸🥹”
“Perfect stay for our Nina. She was taken for walks, we received photos of Nina’s happy day. Trust worthy person, we highly recommend her. Nina was wagging her tail each morning that they me! Perfection. Thank you for taking good care of Nina!!”
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!
“Gus LOVED his time here. He got to play all day and every picture looked like the happiest guy on the block! It was also evident how much he loved it when I picked him up.. he didn’t want to leave! The only time he does that is with his foster mom. I would trust them any other time as they clearly made a paradise for my boy. Also their dog is so sweet and clearly a happy pup who loves to play. Last, great communication throughout the day!! Thank you again, Jessica!”
About: I have been around dogs for as long as I can remember and have always loved spending time with them. Over the years, I’ve gained a lot of experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Being around dogs has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely enjoy giving them attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I am currently a student taking online classes from home while also working a part-time job, so I spend a lot of time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day and make sure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I live in a house with a small yard and am across the street from a small park, with a much larger park only a few blocks away, which is great for walks and outdoor time. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for by giving them lots of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks or walks. Since I spend a lot of time at home, pets will rarely be left alone for long periods and will always have someone around to keep them company and stick to their normal routine.
About: I love and grew up with dogs...we have a very deep and loving connection. Friends always chuckle about how I can put a dog to sleep quickly...when I place my hands on them they relax nearly immediately. I'm a deeply present and observant person who picks up subtle cues and patterns as part of my default programming. Your beloved dog is in great hands with me and I always do my best to keep in alignment with the animal's training. And if you'd like, I can give your dog reiki sessions...that would be a joy! I work from home and make infrequent trips to town, so my schedule is quite flexible. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. When caring for a pet in my home or yours, your dog is my first priority and I abide by your instructions for feeding/play/bathroom. I stay observant to learn the way your animal communicates so to allow their nervous system to be as relaxed as possible, knowing they are being well-cared for. If your dog wants to snuggle or play, I make myself fully available for that (unless you have guidelines for how you'd like me to engage with them. I'll take your dog on walks around the property to go to the bathroom and for exercise (we live on a canyon-side). During the warmer season, we have a creek across the street and if you’d like I can take them on-leash down to play in the water.
About: I have had animals my entire life and have been responsible for their care from a young age. I regularly pet sit for friends and family and have experience caring for a variety of animals. I currently have two cats and two dogs of my own, which has strengthened my knowledge of daily pet care and animal behavior. I am also a member of Delta Gamma, where I help support initiatives that raise awareness for guide dogs in training and the families who care for them. My lifelong love of animals and hands-on experience make me a responsible and dependable caregiver. I work a remote job from 10-2 Monday- Friday. I am a morning person and can take care of pets before and after work. I am very flexible especially on the weekends. I have extensive experience caring for both my own pets and the pets of friends and family. When caring for pets, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision to keep them comfortable and happy. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to provide reliable, compassionate care, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Since I am away from my own pets while at school, I especially enjoy spending time with animals and ensuring they feel safe and well cared for.
“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!”
About: As an experienced educator and animal lover, I provide thoughtful, trustworthy care and joyfully long sniffy walks for your best friend. I am also a devoted rescue dog mama! My dog, Patti, has taught me so much about building trust, reading canine body language, and helping anxious dogs feel safe and confident. Through caring for her, I’ve gained experience with positive reinforcement, maintaining routines, and understanding that every dog has their own personality and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and adventurous, or shy and slow to warm up, I’ll make sure they feel cared for, respected, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your baby! I’m currently fun-employed! I am taking some time off from teaching for the summer to spend time outdoors- caring for the land and animals. I am pursuing the art of the gleeful frolic! That is to say, my schedule is open and flexible :) I live in a ground floor apartment with a private fenced in patio and immediate access to a shared, unfenced yard. I live steps away from a pond and park where my dog loves to sniff, bound, and chase squirrels to no end. Patti and I hike Boulder trails together often and I know how she would love a companion! I am well-versed in following care instructions and am serious about respecting your dog’s health and safety plan to ensure everyone is happy, comfortable, and unharmed.
“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!”
“Stephanie did such a great job with Cassie. I was her first time with her and Cassie was a little nervous. Stephanie stayed in great communication with us and gave her the kind of attention to get her to calm down and feel comfortable. We are very grateful and will be booking with her again.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Wheelman
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,217 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Wheelman. 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 Wheelman 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 3,217 sitters in Wheelman, 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.
