About: We love all pets in our home. We especially favor play time with them at home or even sometimes at the nearby parks. We don't discriminate, we love all pets! I work part time on a flexible schedule, which means lots of time at home to give all pets that extra attention. When I am away, all pets will be separated for security. I always make sure to keep pet parents updated with lots of pictures and any other updates. Also come check out where your pets will be staying while you're away. Rest assured your pets will be loved like our own and taken care of like royalty. We have plenty of space to play inside and outside our home and our yard is an acre and a half with 2 separate fenced areas.

About: I’m known for my calm, trustworthy presence, strong communication, and a genuine love for animals. I pay close attention to each pet’s habits, health, and personality, ensuring they feel safe, stimulated, and loved while you’re away. From administering medications to offering structured playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection, I treat every pet like part of my own family. Pet care is not just a job for me — it’s a passion and a commitment I’ve integrated into my daily routine. Every morning starts with a focus on the pets I’m looking after. I begin by checking in on their needs, making sure they’re fed, hydrated, and ready for their morning walk or play session. Depending on the pet, we may work on training exercises, engage in fun enrichment activities, or simply enjoy some cuddle time. Safe & Clean Environment: I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed—no toxic plants, secure trash, and no accessible hazards. Pets have access to clean water, comfortable rest areas, and a climate-controlled environment. Routine & Structure: I follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, and medication schedule so their stay feels familiar and stress-free. Supervision: I never leave pets unsupervised for long periods and monitor behavior to ensure they’re adjusting well. Comfort & Enrichment: Playtime, walks, mental stimulation, and plenty of affection are included based on your pet’s personality and needs.
“I love having Alyssa as a sitter. She has watched my personal dogs and many of my fosters. She is so kind and reliable. She’s so flexible and has even accepted some of my last minute requests. I’m going to definitely keep booking her in the future. My dogs always come home tired and well taken care of.”
“Morgan was so kind and good w/ my dog Bailey. She even trimmed her nails and took her to the dog park. Bailey came home so happy she couldn’t have been in better hands. Thank you so much Morgan 💛”

I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

I also have professional experience as a pet groomer, so I am comfortable handling and caring for different types of pets. I understand how important it is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I am patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they are my own. I am a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for pets. I am able to work pet care into my schedule and make sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats as long as I can remember. I’ve had everything from puppies to seniors and have loved all of them dearly, and plan on loving yours just as much! I currently work from home so there is plenty of time for me to take care of your pups! I’m available weekdays and most weekends for home visits I have 3 dogs of my own that can make great friends for your pet! I enjoy playing fetch and other games with them whenever possible. I always stay outside with my animals when going potty to make sure there are no accidents.
About: I grew up with three German Shepherds and many other breeds who taught me so much about responsibility, compassion, and unconditional love. Eventually, they had puppies, so I’ve been surrounded by dogs and other pets for pretty much my entire life. Now I live with my handsome boy Luka who is a loving and playful dog. 🐶❤️ My job is very flexible so I am able to be at home most of the time. We are home bodies in this household so we tend to stay home with a warm blanket and watch movies on the weekends. Giving me plenty of room to take care of the doggos I live in a home with a fenced-in yard where dogs can feel safe, comfortable, and free to enjoy themselves. I truly love being around dogs and would be happy to give them plenty of attention, affection, and companionship throughout their stay. They’ll have space to play, explore, and relax, but most importantly, they’ll be treated like part of the family. My goal is for every dog to feel loved, cared for, and at home while they’re with me..

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Alvarado
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 212 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alvarado. 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 Alvarado 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 NM 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 212 sitters in Alvarado, 89% 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.
Don't let your 9-to-5 stop you from being a great pet parent. When you're heading to work, drop off your beloved pet with a loving dog sitter near you.

We know you love your pets, but you can't always be there, which is where our loving sitters come in.
