“Rico is a rescue puppy and was left alone in his early life making him a little needy and does not like leaving your side...Saying that, his furrrst stay with Sheila went great! She provided an update while playing and let him "hang" with her to assure him, it's going to be okay... We already have another date schedule and I know he's looking forward to seeing her and Skeeter again!”
“Marci was very sweet and responded quickly to my last minute request. She sent updates and photos throughout the day and communicated well. I will request days with her in the future.”
“Very kind and genuine, sent updates while she had the pups, and responded when we reached out. Would recommend her services to anyone, she's very knowledgeable made the transition for the animals super easy.”
“My little Louie absolutely loves staying with Jennifer and looks forward to attending four days a week. She is nurturing, attentive, and highly skilled at managing multiple responsibilities. Jennifer made our first week of daycare a very positive experience by providing thoughtful updates throughout the day, which was both comforting and reassuring. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone seeking reliable and compassionate care for their pets!”
About: WHO WE ARE: We are a work from home dog family. I am a Functional Medicine Practitioner and my husband, Josh, is a Personal Trainer. We have two dogs that know no stranger, fur or human kind. Their constant socialization has made them the perfect playmate for your pet...while also being aware of cues for pets who want their space and to be left alone. OUR SPACE & CARE STYLE: We have a spacious home with room to roam indoors and a fenced in backyard for all the playtime we can fit in on nice days. We have ropes, balls, sqeaker toys, chew toys, treat toys, and interactive toys...plenty to play with! We take pride in being a safe and loving vacation home for boarding and a fun place to hangout and play with other dogs while you are at work...with lots of love, cuddles, and treats. In addition to daily rates, we have weekly and monthly rates for doggy daycare, for our frequent visitors (spots are limited). We are great with puppies who need consistency, supervision, and training. We are equally capable of providing some TLC to older pets who may require extra care. We focus on maintaining routines, reading behavior, and creating a calm, safe environment so your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. We send reports and pictures so you have the peace of mind you need while away. I am home all day and evening to ensure that pet's are on their normal schedule, have constant interaction, and feel secure in the environment that is unknown to them. I have a fenced in yard for outdoor activity, a cozy couch on the patio to snuggle on, toys in and outside. I live in a sidewalk lined subdivision that makes walks convenient and safe.
“Nyree and her husband were very communicative and kind. They sent me photos throughout the day and Strudel had a great time! I’ll definitely use them as sitters again!”
“Rochelle was great with our babies and we will definitely be leaving them with her again in the future. Good communication, pictures, videos, and both dogs came home happy and tired - ready for a good night’s sleep!”
“Sierra is amazing and so patient and caring! Even though my puppy is a tough cookie (very guarded and resistant to new connections), I can tell that she enjoyed herself and was warming up. The environment is very inviting and fun, both inside and out. I’m looking forward to her getting more comfortable. Will book again!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was very young. Both our family pups have passed on through the rainbow bridge, while we miss them we are taking a break after 15 years of being dog owners. I love dogs and am a dog person. I have worked with the arlington animal shelter & search one rescue’s weekly training. One of life's greatest feelings is the love of an animal. I work for a nonprofit organization as a life coach within the Dallas school system, so my schedule closely follows school hours and holidays. This provides me with a consistent routine and flexibility outside of school times. I’m available most weekends and love incorporating daily outings and activities around the DFW area to keep pets active, engaged, and happy. I have a fenced in yard. Experience with dog crating. During the summer months I limit my personal pups’ time outdoors. We keep the animals in the first room from the front door with baby gates which is a large area we use for dining.
“We’re super happy having met Melinda, from the start Canelo seemed so comfortable with her, and when we went pick him up he was so calmed, we would leave Canelo with her many many times!”
“Lucyna was wonderful! She took care of our two dogs and made sure they got play time and a lot of cuddles while we got to explore Dallas. She sent us photos which gave us a lot of peace of mind seeing them looking so happy. We will definitely be working with her agin if we ever come back to the Dallas area!”
“Teresa was the sweetest person. I loved just how communicative she was and her quick responses whenever I needed to reach out or ask questions. I could tell just how much she loves dogs from her reaction when she saw Molly. Knew instantly Molly would be in good hands. I got to meet and interact with their two dogs Yuzu and Remy a little bit when I dropped Molly off and both were absolutely awesome. Very well behaved and sweet pups. Gave me full confidence they were great owners and treated their dogs very well. I had to book this last minute because something came up and Teresa was very receptive and understanding. No hassle at all needing to look after Molly on such short notice. Can't recommend them enough!”
“Layla was very sweet, friendly and easy to communicate with! Her fur baby is absolutely precious. She kept me updated, sent pictures and my Bubs had a good visit with her and came home. Happy! I would definitely use her again and definitely recommend!”
“Teri took great care of our Rosie for day care for 2 days. Rosie was so excited to go hang out with her new friends on the 2nd day, I knew she'd felt very comfortable and welcome there. I would recommend Teri 100%, and will leave Rosie in her care in the future, without any hesitation!”

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 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 1,035 sitters in Alvarado, 90% 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.
