About: Taken care of multiple animals throughout my life. Big backyard, and a lot of love to give. Safe neighborhood for long walks. Can train puppies basic tricks. I have a furry companion of my own, taking care of him is one of my favorite things to do everyday. I always have time to play with him and take a run or walk with him. I have a large fenced yard and an extremely friendly dog. I keep anything that they can ingest out of reach so they can stay safe.
“Beautiful fenced yard. Kids and family dog to play with. Perfect for our Houston Space Center outing. We will definitely use Ashley again if we’re ever in the area :)”
About: I have been a dog owner for 8 plus years. Currently I have 4 rescue dogs. Dogs bring me joy and I love their different personalities. I enjoy playing with them, walking and having cuddle time. I currently have older kids that don’t require much time thus available during the week and weekends to help out with pets. My schedule is flexible. I have a large fenced in yard and a doggy door that allows my fur babies to go in and out as they please. I also watch the dogs as they are outside.
“So good to be able to leave your puppy with someone that you know is going to play with them and take them on walks and I don’t have stress about it when I’m gone :-) thanks Ashley”

About: I have loved and cared for all kinds of pets my entire life, and have had both cats and dogs. I currently have three cats! I will love and care for your pets as my own. Pet care is already built into my daily routine, as I take care of my own three cats! I can easily work your pets routine into mine as well. I will love and care for your pets as my own!

“Johnny was extremely kind with Sam and us!! He was super responsive and understanding. Sam came back extremely happy from his time with Johnny :) he took well care of Sam and kept him safe when it was pouring rain. Definitely would recommend:)”
About: I have had pets my whole life ranging from cats to birds to fish. I also love dogs and so does my 9 year old daughter and my husband. I have cared for family members, neighbors and friends animals (cats and dogs) for many years. My cat is 19 years old and I have also had to say goodbye to my baby, Daphnie who I had from the time she was a baby until she passed away, and my other baby Willow, who we rescued when we lived in Hawaii and was a part of our family for about 10 years. I am therefore familiar with senior care for animals. I’ve administered oral, topical and iv meds (yes I did that home with one of my cats near the end of her life). I love to walk and run and have always enjoyed taking dogs for a walk when I’ve cared for the pets of others. I have even cared for a few rowdy young dogs that were still in puppy training school. I have been pet sitting on River for about 3 years. I’ve done many drop in visits, boarding and dog walks for my clients. I am currently a home maker so I have a flexible schedule to care for your babies. Most weeks I am able to do mornings, mid day and evenings I have a fenced in yard. I have one cat, who has been around dogs, lived with a dog and is used to the occasional dog being boarded in our home. He is fine with dogs as long as the dogs are calm towards him. I would not be able to host in my home any very young dogs that may want to “play” with my cat as he is older and also has no interest in being friends with a dog. He is very non-aggressive and tends to mostly avoid them whenever I board.

About: I have taken care of dogs for over 10 years. I have cared for dogs as small as 5 lbs to as big as 120lbs and puppies through senior dogs. I currently have a one year old Golden Retriever that is very friendly and playful with lots of energy. I live on 1.6 acres with the immediate backyard fenced in. Your pup will have lots of room to roam and play. I will only care for one set of family's dogs at a time to be fully attentive to your pets needs. I am a stay at home mom of one and I have a one year old Golden Retriever. We all love spending time in the backyard. I live in a house in Alvin with a fenced in backyard on 1.6 acres excellent for walking your dog without the danger of a stray or aggressive dog. A leash would be used if going for a walk and dog seat belt would be used if you wish if being transported in a car. My dog is up to date on all his vaccines and has his rabies shot. He is not yet spayed. My home is baby and pet proof so there won't be any choking hazardous toys/ objects or dangerous chemicals that your pet can get into or be around. I will care for your dog the same way I would want someone to care for mine.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs most of my life. I am also experienced with cats. I am ready to meet every need your pet requires. Jonah is going to college so I am only taking return customers. Our schedule varies but pups will be alone during most days of the work week. My husband and I will give them lots of love other than that. Weekends are preferable during the school year. During the summer, we are flexible and home during the day. I have medium sized fenced in yard. I take morning and evening walks. There is a nice open field right by my house if a dog requires more exercise.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Alvin on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,370 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alvin. 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 Alvin 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 1,370 sitters in Alvin, 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.
