“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! ☺️”
“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 enjoy taking care of pets and willing to work with a set scheduled time or if there are any medication that your pet needs to take, I am happy to serve! Taking care of pets fits into my weekly schedule because I work from home! I can also go for walks with pet in the morning/ evening. I live in a gated community and it is very pet friendly with walk ways to go for walks outside and different spaces with grass.
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.

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: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve cared for pets since childhood and genuinely love building trust with every dog I meet. Friends, neighbors, and family have relied on me for years to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m calm, patient, attentive, and especially good with shy, sensitive, or high-energy dogs. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who treats them like family, and I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. As a dog owner myself, I know every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to adapt to their needs — whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I spend most of my time at home, so your dog will rarely be left alone. Daily walks, attention, playtime, cuddles, and a calm environment are all part of our routine. My dog and I love long walks, and I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide a calm, clean, loving environment with lots of supervised walks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I understand that every dog is different, and I always adapt to their needs and routines to help them feel secure and stress-free.
“Can't say enough about how great a pupsitter Daisy is! My tiny Chi loves her. Nilly instantly settled down in Daisy's home (and on Daisy's lap.) Daisy sent lots of pictures and provided regular updates.”
“Sherman is a regular with Hannah and her Beagle Beauties. He now knows Wednesday is play day to which he responds with much excitement! Thank you Hannah. My Wednesdays are very productive knowing he is well cared for with lots of love and attention.”
“She took wonderful care of my pup! And her kids are so sweet with him, they even made him a card~ She also took wonderful photos of Jay to keep me updated. I was very grateful that Sylvia was super lenient with the last minute push-back pick up time. When Jay got back home, he was so tired and went right to bed. I'm sure he spent an awesome time playing around and being well taken care of~ 10/10 would recommend!”
About: I have pet sat and dog walked for friends and family since I can remember - all sizes and ages of pets. I come from an incredibly caring family of animal lovers and we've all adopted and rescued at some point in our lives and shared our experiences of individual pet behaviors. I understand that unwalked or lonely pets can be difficult to raise with excess energy that has no outlet, so if I can help by breaking up their day a little, I'd love to help you out. I can drop in to keep them company, feed and play with them. I can take them for walks locally and treat them when we get home. I only take a few bookings a day so I can be more attentive to those pets, so they feel valued, rested and happy and not rushed in and out. About me: I'm an outgoing finance professional with more time on my hands recently and looking for more life balance and fresh air! I fit walks into my day around other commitments to help break up the day. Its good to get away from the desk for some air. It depends on the client. With high value dogs clients prefer that I stay on their property, so I've ensured that we have their favorite toy available to play fetch for 30 mins! For others, I ensure I have a safe walking route from the home and we take our water and poop bags and we walk fast or slow depending on the age and ability of the dog.
“Esther is nothing short of amazinggggg! She is so sweet and very professional. Soon after meeting Esther, I could tell my pup Jo-Jo was going to feel right at home. Jo-Jo had a friend to play with right when he walked in and Esther provided so many amenities I wasn’t even the slightest bit worried about him being comfortable. Esther is very thoughtful and prepared the perfect space for dogs just like a five star hotel would for humans, haha. I can’t wait to see her again and have Jo-Jo back in her care!”
“Burak was so fantastic with my dog! He was a wonderful communicator and sent plenty of photos and updates. He administered my dog’s medicine and went above and beyond to care my dog.”
“Stephanie was super accommodating with a very early and last minute request. Throughout the day I received updates and photos which kept me reassured my pup was in good hands. Thanks again Stephanie! Munchie looks forward to his next visit!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alief
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Alief is $27 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $44 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 of October 2026, there are 2,256 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alief. 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 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,256 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of TX. 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 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 .
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 , 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 .
