About: I've had pets nearly my whole life. I absolutely love dogs and cats. How anyone could mistreat an animal is beyond me. I will give the best care to your pet. I retired a year ago although I'm only 53. I have plenty of time and I love animals so I decided to pet sit and board. I have a big back yard that is fenced in. I also have dog beds in my home. I have central heat and air so your pet will be comfortable in my home.
“Rebekah and her family was just great with Coffee and Daisy. She took great care and it was a great daycare day. I didn’t have to worry while I was trying to move into my new home.”
“Kenzie was wonderful and caring to our boys and we will happily request her to watch our boys every time. Thank you, Kenzie, the boys smell good and were very happy when we picked them up. God bless you and your family!!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care of Hans. We immediately felt like he was welcomed into your home! Your daily reports and pictures helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing that Hans was having a great vacation of his own. We can tell that you guys are dog people because of the great care that Hans received. In the future, we won't have to worry about leaving town because we know that Hans will be in awesome hands. Thanks so much!”
About: I've always had a love for animals. I've never met a fur baby I can't get along with. I get the most joy taking care of animals. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule for dog walks and drop ins. And since I am home, I am able to stay with animals who tend to have some separation anxiety. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly dog who has never met a stranger. I also have two indoor cats, and two rabbits in a room of their own. All of my animals are spoiled rotten.
About: Dogs are my favorite. I know how to administer medication and calm them down if they are stressed Sr babies are also welcome. Love all I am a stay at home mom currently in school at home. This is a great way for me to take care of babies and earn money doing something I love. I have two fenced in areas. Babies are always watched while we’re outside at play and during potty time. They are never left alone or out of my sight.
About: What makes me different is that my experience isn’t just from watching dogs—it comes from truly caring for my own over many years. I went through the full journey of raising a puppy into her senior years, which taught me patience, responsibility, and deep respect for animals’ needs. Since then, I’ve felt naturally drawn to caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and understood. I currently have full availability after returning from college, which allows me to focus on pet care as a priority. I am flexible with scheduling and can provide care throughout the day, including mornings, evenings, and overnight stays when needed. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. In a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space while keeping pets on their usual feeding, walking, and play schedule. I pay close attention to instructions and details provided by the owner so each pet receives consistent, personalized care. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they are supervised and given plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I make sure they have fresh water, proper feeding times, and a stress-free space to relax. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and ensure they feel secure and well cared for at all times.
“Guinness did very well & Karmen really put our minds at ease about leaving him with her during surgery. She has a good set up for pets, is responsive and loves animals! We plan to use her again the future.”
About: We have taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles and farm animals for around 15 years. We have a great place for them to stay while you're away and will treat them with the best care possible. We have great reviews and repeat fur babies! We are both stay at home parents to 2 great homeschooled kids! We are able to be around your pet 24/7! Your fur baby will not be left without supervision! We have a fenced in area specifically for your pet - roughly 1 acre. We have 5 acres total to walk your fur baby and keep them entertained! We also offer oversized kennels for them to sleep in at night in a climate controlled room. We will do whatever we need to accommodate what your pet needs in order for them to feel the best while they are here.
About: I’ve cared for all sorts of animals since i was 10 years young, including cats, birds, goats, horses and of course dogs and puppies. I love big dogs especially pit bulls. I currently do not own a animal anymore because I couldn’t afford one after I had my daughter. So I decided why not babysit other people’s fur babies!? I’m currently a stay at home mommy so I will have a lot of play time with the fur babies. My schedule usually stays open on the weekdays. I don’t mind caring for your animal inside my home as long as you bring their cage, it’s preferred for sleep time if staying the night. I will provide snacks of your choice! I also help with potty training.
About: I am very experienced with dogs and cats- small, medium or large! I love them all like they’re my own 🥰 I can walk them, feed them, give them their medicine if they need any, anything you need! 🥰 I’m currently free pretty much anytime during the week- unless I have a college assignment that needs to be turned in that’s urgent! 🥰 even on the weekends! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a big yard! I also have a pool if your dog loves to swim but it IS fenced in so they don’t have open access for it. They are also allowed in the house with no problem! 🥰
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels—including senior pups—I provide loving, reliable, and attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, accommodating special routines, and offering the extra patience and gentleness that older dogs often need. Whether it’s slow strolls, cozy cuddles, or keeping up with daily care, I treat every dog like family. My goal is to give you peace of mind while keeping your pet happy, safe, and comfortable in a calm, familiar environment. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day—whether it’s regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just companionship. Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches, and I’m able to accommodate feeding times, medications, and any special care needs with ease. Because I plan my day around the pets I care for, you can trust they’ll get the time, love, and attention they deserve. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can relax and feel secure. We have a fully fenced yard for plenty of outdoor play and potty breaks, and pets are always supervised. Our home is kid-friendly, calm, and welcoming—perfect for dogs who enjoy gentle companionship. I have one sweet, well-behaved female beagle who gets along great with other dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and walking needs. Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers quiet cuddles, I ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child and it gives me great comfort and peace in a spiritual way. I am a home owner for 19 years in Douglasville Georgia and live alone. I am a US Navy Veteran and a writer/publisher for Onequalife LLC. I have seen how our environment harms animals life. I am an advocate for all life forms and we need to do better to protect them. Every day, I try to be the best version of myself to make all contacts positive and productive. My super power is patience and to learn new things. Writing is my passion and animals are my comfort. Making a connection with a new animal is a blessing for me. Lots of Love and Smiles for the Soul. As a child, I always have been spending time with our family animals. I have the time and experience with a safe caring fun loving home. I also have a fenced backyard with two sections and a large basement on two acres property. Safety always comes first and I always treat cats or dogs like toddlers. I always have a watchful eye on them and feed and keep them safe.
“Kayla was amazing. Her energy was great and Kasper loved her so much that he wasn't ready to leave. She also gave videos and pictures during his stay. He is all tuckered out and ready for bed early. 😊”
“Michelle was awesome! She communicated clearly and often, sent pictures of the puppies, and played with them all throughout the day. They were so tired when they got home and were really excited to go back the next day! Would highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up in a family that are dog lovers, and we always had dogs. Dogs have always been a part of my life. I will play with your dog, take walks, and play ball. Or just chill if they'd rather hang out and get belly rubs. Whatever activities you'd like me to provide your dog or dogs while you are away, I'm happy to do. I am able to administer medications or provide emotional support if they have separation anxieties. I can train or work with your puppies if you have a puppy. I just moved to the Atlanta area. Currently, I have an open schedule that is also very flexible. Pet sitting fits into my lifestyle perfectly. I am available for drop in visits and will be super attentive to all your pets needs. Whatever you need from me to provide you with pet care that will give you peace of mind while you are away. I will do.

Jennifer was the best! She and her family loved on Pax like he was part of the family, too. Pax even went to football practice with them and had a great time letting the team mates love on him, too. I highly recommend Jennifer and will definitely be letting Pax stay with her and her family again. 🐾🐾❤️❤️

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Abilene
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 474 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Abilene. 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 Abilene 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 GA 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 474 sitters in Abilene, 88% 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.
