About: I've helped care for animals for the past 15 years. In the past I have volunteered animal shelters caring for animals and absolutely loved it. I'm currently not working and will have plenty of time to care for your pups! Anytime I am not available, my husband may be able to help fill in. Just get with us to verify scheduling! We have two cats and they are so spoiled! We would love to make a puppy an addition to our family but have not been able to do so yet! In the meantime, I would love to help you care for your puppy. Care includes, feeding, watering, play-time, going for walks, and any other care at your request!
“Kristen was an excellent dog sitter! She and her family were very kind enough to allow me to tour their home where my dog would be staying. I am very impressed with how responsive she was in our communications. Also, I appreciated the photo updates of how my dog was doing! Will definitely be visiting again in the near future.”
About: I have years of experience between animals, livestock, babies, and senior care. I breed Australian shepherds and Japanese Akitas, and currently own chickens. I do own my own house and with a decent size fenced backyard. I’m available all day of the week. If I have to step out, I have cameras all over my house and around my house. I have a fenced yard, cameras all over the outside of my house and in the inside as well. There is always someone at my house.
About: Yup, I was that kid who dressed her puppy in doll clothes, I promise not to do that unless you want me to. Happy Tails I’m flexible with my hours. I'm that person who brings home every stray. So….My husband wants us to have less animals so this way I have time to love on yours. I have a fence for dogs to play and do there business. We prefer to crate the dogs at night if at all possible when your baby stays with us. When I come to the door I hope your pet will be happy to see a friendly face.
About: I have been around and taking care of animals, my whole life! From big to small, I am well experienced in taking care of all animals & enjoy every minute. As a navy veteran and stay at home, mom, I find myself with a lot of free time. From volunteering at animal shelters, to helping the stray cats that live in my area… animals are my passion ♡ I have a fenced backyard for the pups, and a screened in porch (for the kitties). I also have a variety of animal supplies here such as jumbo dog crates, cat crates, extra food and water bowls.
About: Please note that Rover retains a 20% service fee from each booking, so my rates are set to remain fair while still reflecting the level of care and attention I provide. I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every pet, and I take great pride in the quality of care I deliver. I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of animals—including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and reptiles—since a young age. Over the years, family members and friends have consistently trusted me to feed, bathe, and walk their pets, which has helped me build a strong foundation in reliable and compassionate animal care. I do have two young daughters, ages 4 and 2. They are very well-behaved around animals and understand the importance of being gentle and respectful—such as not pulling on tails or ears. I also work from home as a nail technician and run a small coffee/food business, which allows me to be present throughout the day. Because of this, your pet will receive consistent supervision, attention, and plenty of playtime. I’m very flexible and happy to work with you to accommodate scheduling needs, including times and dates. I offer a variety of toys and a spacious backyard where pets can safely roam and play. I also provide high-quality treats, including 100% beef or chicken options, as well as organic peanut butter cookies made specifically for dogs. In addition, I provide eye, ear, and paw wipes to help keep your pet clean and comfortable during their stay.
“Jack had so much fun with Becky & her pup! He played all day and came home exhausted. She was super flexible with timing to drop off and pick up, and very communicative. We received several updates and pics throughout the day! Will definitely be our go-to in the future!”
“We've always been hesitant about having someone our two girls don't know take care of them. Janette was willing to take the time to meet them a few days before to get acquainted with them to make sure they (and us) were comfortable. On the day where she took care of them, she provided constant updates and pictures and was extremely flexible when we got back a few minutes late due to the weather. The girls absolutely loved her. Very highly recommend Janette, we will definitely be using her services again soon!”
“Brianna was so sweet to my little buddy, and kept me updated regularly throughout his stay. I was so thankful for her taking him in. I know he had a great time. I Highly recommend her, and I will use her again when the opportunity arises”
About: Hello everyone! My name is Morgan! I am a stay at home mom of 5 active children. We’re an active family but I homeschool so my children are home with me all day. I’ve taken care of many dogs, cats and various other animals from the time I was very young! My family has always had many pets around our home and my children absolutely love all pets as their own. Pet care would fit right into our daily routine. I have many hands that can help with pet care and ensure that your pet is very spoiled and well loved while in my home. We will not board more than 2 pets at a time. If the two pets are from different homes they will not be left in the same room with each other when we leave our home. Your pets safety while in our care is of utmost importance to me. I can crate your pet as needed or not. Take your pet on walks and make sure they are given plenty of attention and love during their stay in our home.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, both personally and professionally. I worked as a small animal veterinary technician for three years, gaining hands-on experience with dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. Now as a stay-at-home mom with my own pups — Cooper and Jax — as well as my one year old daughter. I bring that same level of care and attention into our home every day. Living on a small farm with a pig, horses, and cows I have to have patience and consistency, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I’m confident with medications, special needs pets, and making sure each animal feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m home all day with my dogs! I make sure to take multiple leashed walks to check the farm animals, giving pups exercise, stimulation, and plenty of attention. While I don’t have a fenced yard, your dog will still get plenty of fresh air and activity! The dog(s) and I go on several leashed walks each day to check on our pig, horses, and cows — it’s a calm, country setting with lots of fun sights and smells for curious pups. All outdoor time is supervised and on-leash, and inside your pet will enjoy a cozy, family-style environment with Cooper and Buck.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Alum
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 441 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alum. 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 Alum 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 441 sitters in Alum, 87% 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.
