“Mixie was amazing! She send several videos of Mochi throughout the day. Mochi was so happy when we picked him up. We could tell her had a wonderful day with Mixie and her family. Definitely recommend her!”
“I need a place to care for my dog, Coco, in March for about 10 days and since the meet and greet went so well I decided to try the day care service to see how Coco did without me there. It seems like she fit right in. She liked playing with the big dogs and had a fun time. Noel sent me pictures of Coco throughout the stay which helped put my nerves at ease. After I picked Coco up she slept the whole way home. Noel has been very accommodating and professional. I think we not only found a place for Coco to stay during my trip in March I think we found a place for coco to have play days from time to time.”
“My dog had such a great time with Beatrice and her dogs! My dog was very anxious and shy upon arrival, but she made sure Buttercup felt welcomed in her home! She got to play and cuddle with the other pups and I look forward to working with her again in the future! ☺️”
“Julian is a wonderfully attentive and kind person that I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. My first time leaving my dogs with him was a great experience. He made sure my dogs would be comfortable by chatting with me before we made our booking. He was flexible with me as our plans changed a bit and he provided consistent updates with pictures. Highly recommend Julian to anyone who is looking for care for their pets.”
“Lily and Turbo have been the best!! I am a sitter as well, but I have recently had the tables turn, as I have had to return to "pre-pandemic" on site office hours! Lily has helped us make this transition so much better for me and my sweet boy Hank. She has sent plenty of pictures throughout our stays, which is a huge comfort! Hank's excitement in the mornings, and his exhaustion in the evenings is an absolute testament to how well his days are going! Big big thanks to Ms. Lily and Turbo!! Tracey & Hank : )”
“I did a daycare day after I had a stay and my dog was literally howling when we were leaving! He rarely howls or cries for anyone. Just select few, and Amy has earned her spot as one of his top favorite people! I can genuinely see how much she cares for what she does based on his behavior. He is calmer, more mellow and tired when he comes home! 10/10!”
“Gizmo love Ony!! Right away he was comfortable in her presence and in her home. She was quick to respond, sent updates, and photos of Gizmo enjoying his day at daycare. I will definitely book with her again for daycare and boarding. 5 Stars”
“Thank you Claudia for taking great care of Lexi. I appreciated the updates and the pics. Lexi has been with several daycare providers and this was the first time she wasn't so eager to vacate the place. So you must be doing something right. Keep up the excellent care”
“Big thank you again to Mike! Mike is always attentive when I take my pup over to him and is always relied upon to provide the best care. Mike gets an easy A+ from me and will be utilized in the future.”
“Udi loves going to Kimberly’s place and she’s always sad to leave! She sends me regular updates about Udi throughout the day and she understands her goofy pittie personality as well. Udi also loves playing with Kimberly’s pup Omega. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Really appreciated Celia took care of our last minute request and has taken really good of our Aussie. She’s kind and patient to ease my dog’s anxiety. I would recommend her to everyone!”
About: Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and consistency throughout the day. I’m available for regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and whatever else your pup needs to feel comfortable. As a dog mom who raised and trained my own pup from 4 months old, I understand the patience and consistency dogs need. Whether your pup is playful and energetic or prefers a calmer environment, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I provide care in a quiet, cozy environment that works especially well for dogs who enjoy a more relaxed setting. I keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and do not allow strangers into my home during boarding or daycare. For boarding and daycare, I only accept dogs who are CRATE TRAINED and have their own crate available for their stay. Your dog does not have to spend the day in their crate. Crates are primarily used when needed for safety, sleeping, feeding, brief periods when I cannot directly supervise, or to give your pup a familiar place to decompress. PLEASE BRING YOUR DOG’S CRATE AT DROP-OFF unless we’ve discussed other arrangements. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which means I’m able to give dogs the time, attention, and consistency they need throughout the day. I’m always nearby for potty breaks, playtime, walks, cuddles, and anything else your pup might need. As a proud dog mom who raised and trained my own pup from 4 months old, I understand how much patience and care young dogs require. Whether your dog is full of energy, still learning, or just needs a little extra love, I’m here to support them like family. When caring for pets in my home, I treat them like part of the family in a safe, loving, and secure environment. I live in a quiet space that’s perfect for anxious pups who need a calm and peaceful setting to feel at ease. I provide a clean, cozy area for your dog to relax and play, and I’m happy to share photos of the space ahead of time so you can feel confident about where your pup will be staying. For safety, I do not allow any strangers into my home during boarding or daycare. Since I work from home, your dog will always have supervision, consistent care, and plenty of love throughout the day.
About: I've been dog sitting and walking since 2018, caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and needs—including senior dogs, disabled dogs, and pups with allergies. I love getting to know each dog's personality, quirks, and routine so they feel comfortable while their people are away. Whether your dog is full of energy or just wants a buddy to hang out with, they'll get plenty of love, attention, and care from Auntie. 🐾 Pet care is my full-time focus, so I have the flexibility to work around your pet's needs. Walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, belly rubs, couch cuddles, snack reminders (for the humans too 😅)—I'm here for it. My goal is to keep your pet's routine as normal as possible so they're happy, comfortable, and stress-free. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet. I'll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special needs before care begins. Whether they're a senior pup, need medication, have allergies, or just need a little extra patience, they'll be cared for like family.
“Diana is wonderful and Diesel had a blast! Her pups and cat are also very accommodating which I’m always concerned about when Diesel goes to any daycare (he can be a lot sometimes). We did a last minute booking with her and she is very responsive. Provides picture updates and will accommodate all your doggy’s needs as if they were her own children.”
“Our puppy had such a great time at daycare. He loved getting to play with the other dogs, and it was so reassuring to receive lots of photo and video updates throughout the day. Miranda and Paula are wonderful. They clearly care about the dogs and made sure our pup was happy and having fun. We really appreciated the great communication!”
“Shamareya was extremely communicative and very understanding of my dog’s specific potty training challenges, which I know many others may have been hesitant to take on. Her home is beautiful, spacious, and offers ample indoor and outdoor areas for dogs to enjoy. My dog came home exactly as I dropped him off, which reassured me he was in great hands throughout his stay. Highly recommend Shamareya!!”
About: I’ve been working with animas for over ten years. I’m a dog professional and am well versed in dog behavior. I do rescue work on the side as well. I work 30 hours a week, but am able to come home for lunch daily. I go in very early and come home early so I get plenty of time caring for your pets. I have a very secure fenced in yard and super friendly pups that love company and love to play with new friends and we have cameras out doors with motion detection. I focus on animal safety.

Viktor had a wonderful day at playcare. He had a great time socializing and playing with the other dogs, and I really appreciated the frequent updates and positive feedback throughout the day. They sent lots of photos, which gave me peace of mind and made it clear that he was happy and comfortable. Most importantly, they handled Viktor with the affection and attention he is used to — very much like the baby he is. I felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care and would happily bring him back.
Fantastic petsitter! She took great care of my puppy and was incredibly helpful and communicative. She sent regular updates during her visit, which gave me total peace of mind. I really appreciated her care and attention, and I will absolutely be booking with her again.

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 Alief 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 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 .
