So happy that we found Dale on Rover! We had a last minute trip to Abilene and contacted Dale to keep our golden doodle for the day. He was so accommodating and flexible! I felt reassured as soon as we met him that Koffee would be well taken care of! Dale updated us with pictures and responds immediately to texts. We will definitely contact Dale again if we are in Abilene.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We can’t say enough good things about Alexis! My husband works out of town, and since we’re brand new to the area, it can be hard to trust someone with our puppy. But Alexis immediately made us feel so comfortable and confident in our decision. She treated our dog with so much love and care, just like her own. We could tell he was happy, well looked after, and truly enjoyed his time with her. We’re so thankful for the peace of mind she gave us — highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and caring sitter!

About: I've owned dogs my entire life - up to three at once. From puppies to their last moments 🫶🏻, I have experience with care at all stages of life. Currently have two labs (5 and 7, male and female) who are friendly with other dogs. I work from home and we have a fenced yard. I work full time from home and am here all day for their care/entertainment. We have a good sized fenced yard for play and lots of toys to play with. We have a large shaded grassy back yard as well as two large indoor kennels and two large soft travel kennels if your pup finds comfort in a kennel. Our five year old golden lab loves to play with everyone. Our seven year old black lab is laid back and chill. My dogs spend the day as my office buddies and prefer their kennels at night, but our visitors can roam free at night if not crate trained.

About: My rates reflect the level of care and experience I provide. I’ve worked in both an animal hospital and a boarding facility, and I have over 10 years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages. I’m trained to administer medications (including injections) and I’m currently studying to become a veterinary technician. Your dog isn’t staying in a kennel they’re getting personalized attention in a safe home environment, along with knowledgeable care you won’t find in standard boarding. I’m also able to provide nail trims and ear cleanings for a small additional charge. My goal is to make sure your furbaby feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away😊 Pet care blends naturally into my everyday life because I’m home all day with my baby. We spend most of our time in the living room or outside, so having dogs around just feels like adding more family to our routine. I’m able to give them plenty of attention, snuggles, potty breaks, and playtime throughout the day. Since I’m always home, I can really focus on making sure each pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would with their own family! In my home, pets have plenty of space to relax and play. I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly, playful Labrador who loves having company. I also have a cat who thinks he’s a dog himself and adapts to other animals very fast! I focus on creating a calm, welcoming environment where each pet feels like part of the family. Dogs get regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. I keep routines consistent so they feel secure, and I always monitor interactions to make sure every pet is happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my daily routine. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime, attention, and consistency, to senior dogs who require a little extra patience and care. I’ve had two senior dogs who needed medication administration, frequent bathroom breaks, transportation, and close monitoring to keep them comfortable and happy. I also currently help care for my miniature dachshund, Maxwell, who is completely blind, so I understand the importance of adapting to a dog’s individual needs and creating a safe, supportive environment. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a game of fetch, extra cuddles, a consistent feeding schedule, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I know that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their personality and routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in caring and capable hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a very flexible schedule. I recently relocated to spend time with my boyfriend while he serves in the Air Force, and after leaving my full-time job back home, I have plenty of availability throughout the day. This allows me to give pets my full attention rather than trying to fit them into an already busy schedule. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding times, play sessions, or overnight care, I can easily adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I understand that life can get hectic, and my goal is to make things a little easier for pet owners by providing reliable, attentive care when they need it most. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving plenty of attention, exercise, affection, and individualized care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood that is great for walks, and I have a fenced-in yard that allows dogs to safely spend time outdoors. My home is air-conditioned, which is especially important during the Texas summer months to ensure pets stay comfortable and cool. I also have reliable transportation, making it easy to accommodate pick-ups, drop-offs, or other pet-related needs if necessary. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities, including my own pets as well as those of family, friends, neighbors, and members of my community. This experience has taught me that every pet is different and deserves individualized care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, senior and slowing down, or requires a little extra patience and attention, I will take the time to learn their routine and make them feel safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your pet feels at home while giving you peace of mind knowing they are being cared for as if they were my own.

About: From an early age I have been surrounded by animals. I learned they will never let you down and they always have your back. Growing up my passion for such loving creatures has only grown stronger. Animals do not have a voice so we must stand up and be the voice for them as they comfort us in our times of need. I have been sitting for years as it is a passion of mine. I hope to continue my passion with you and your fur babies. I am flexible and willing to work with pets and their owners to find something suitable for both parties. Please feel free to ask me any questions you may have. I currently have an open and flexible schedule, but we do own two Greyhounds and a new kitten that adopted us. My husband does work overnight hours as a Paramedic so I would not be available to stay overnight while he is on shift. I am an open book so questions are welcome! I live close to several dog parks, we have a fenced in yard for potty breaks and play time. I also have the ability for daily walks (assuming it’s not too hot outside).

About: Around my hometown neighborhood I had many friends and family. This made it easy to book certain days and times to care for their animals. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’ve also had the amazing opportunity to foster kittens for 12 years with Feline Network. When I schedule appointments with someone and their animal they’re a priority. Love is more than a word, it’s a connection you can’t deny. Animals everywhere deserve love just as much as people do. Your dog is important, that’s why I want you to feel your dog is safe, loved, and cared for properly. I’m here to put my time, love, and energy into your lovely dog. I’ve fostered kittens and cared for many animals since I was seven years old. I was fortunate enough to learn about keeping an animal healthy and safe. Through the years I learned giving dogs their medication(s) can either be easy or difficult, but if you really care you’ll be patient and think outside the box. I have also learned to vaccinate dogs, cats, and pigs. I was also a member of 4-H for three years, I learned hard work, commitment, and giving an animal the attention and care it needs. When I know I can give an animal love, why wouldn’t I do it. Currently I’m doing online schooling from home. I love to schedule dates and times, but I’m very flexible when needed. I’m available all weekdays and weekends. You can contact me those days at 8:30am through 8:00pm. If you need to reschedule don’t hesitate to ask. When I’m taking care of a dog in it’s needed environment I will assess their needs and wants. I will make sure said dog gets everything they need to be successful.

About: I’ve grown up with exceptional dogs all my life. Small, medium, large, you name it I’ve fed it! All jokes aside, I am a reliable caretaker for your fur babies needs. Walking, cleaning, play time, feeding, or bathing is absolutely no problem! I am currently a stay-at home mom, which means I’ll have loads of time to relax, lounge, and play with your babies while you’re away on business or vacation! My family has 2 dogs: a black lab and a German Shepard mix. We use to have a cat, her name was Floof, and she was sweet yet feisty! We play in the backyard a lot and they enjoy meeting and playing with other dogs, big and small!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Abilene

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Abilene on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 32 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 TX 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 32 sitters in Abilene, 95% 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.
