About: I treat every dog like my own. Giving them personalized attention, plenty of love, and consistent care tailored to their unique needs. Whether it’s an energetic walk or quiet cuddle time, I’m patient, reliable, and communicate regularly with updates so you feel connected even when you’re away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I go the extra mile to create a stress-free, happy environment for your furry friend. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve every day. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just companionship, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I care for pets at my home, which has a fenced backyard and dog park perfect for playtime. My friendly Shih Tzu loves making new pals, so your pup will have plenty of company. I keep a close eye on any signs of stress or health issues and will always let you know right away if anything comes up.
“I regularly rely on this sitter, often on very short notice. Communication is clear and timely, scheduling is easy even last minute, and most importantly my dogs are always well cared for. They treat my dogs like their own, keep me updated, and give me total peace of mind while I'm at work. I'm incredibly grateful to have them as my go to sitter when I'm in town.”
“Mathew and his wife where great with my pup Polo they have a beautiful home and they where very nice my pup had a great experience with them and they also communicated with me throughout the stay and sent pictures I would recommend them to everyone who needs a sitter they where awesome 10 stars if they had it”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I got my first pup at age 5, and I’ve been raising and caring for them ever since. Our home includes a 7-year-old mini Frenchie who’s a pro at reading the room - she loves a good play session but also knows when to give other dogs their space. My 3.5-year-old is growing up with the same love for dogs and has learned to respect boundaries and recognize when it’s time to play or give pets their space. Your dog will be treated like family here, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, dog-savvy household that understands every pup is unique. We have a fenced-in backyard for as much outdoor play your pup may require. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I’m around throughout the day to provide attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My routine naturally revolves around my own pup’s needs, so caring for your dog fits seamlessly into our daily flow. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or just hanging out together while I work, your dog will have consistent supervision and plenty of quality time. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My 20-pound mini Frenchie is always up for a playmate when the vibe is right, but she’s equally content to let other pups do their own thing. For peace of mind, we’re just 8 minutes from the nearest emergency vet, so immediate care is readily accessible if ever needed.

“highly recommend. Was in Houston for the weekend and needed a last minute day sitter and laura responded back immediately making my trip in Houston 10x easier. I was updated and sent pictures and Gueya came home happy, healthy, and slept like a baby all night!! :)”
About: I've been a dog lover my entire life. My first job was a Veterinary Tech, and I am a Registered Nurse. I have trained multiple dogs, and use positive enforcement as frequently as possible. I have cared for several aging pets to brand new puppies. I work from home. I occasionally have meetings, events outside of the home. My home has a dog door for access to my fenced in backyard. I do have a way to block this if necessary but my dog uses it all the time and have had no issues with the back yard. I have a fenced in back yard, my dog is not one that typically plays much with any toys or other dogs. She is very friendly just older now and has not as much energy or interest. We do take daily leash walks. Any dog would need to be leash trained in order to walk with us.
“Amanda is amazing and my dogs loved her. You can tell she truly cares about the pets left in her care. She sent plenty of daily pics. I felt completely comfortable leaving my babies with her. We are so blessed to have found her!”
About: I’ve been a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs in the past—one small and one medium/large—so I’m experienced with different breeds and personalities. I understand that a fur baby isn’t just a pet, but truly part of the family. Since moving to Houston, I don’t currently have any pets of my own, which means your furry friend will have my full attention and care throughout the day. I can’t wait to meet and care for your fur baby like my own! Since I work from home, your pup will have constant company and plenty of love and attention throughout the day. I will be around all day to give them the care and attention they need. In my home, pets have plenty of room to play and relax. I live in a house with a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. Since I don’t currently have any dogs of my own, your pup will get my full attention and care while they’re here. I make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and right at home from the moment they arrive.
“Kimberly was amazing with my doggy! She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated which gave me so much peace of mind! :) Zoey was happy and well cared for 🤍”
About: I grew up with many dogs, and my dad’s favorite breed was the Central Asian Shepherd—those are huge! I also had a Husky, so I know firsthand how energetic they can be. More recently, I’ve gained experience walking a Pug, so I understand the needs of different breeds. I’d love to meet your dog, spend time with them, go on walks, play, feed, and give them all the love I have! I’m unemployed now, so I have a lot of time and energy for your pets. I’m tired of sitting home and want to have more activity in my life. Hope your pet will help me reliable pet care by ensuring your dog gets an enjoyable walk, your cat is well-fed, and your pets feel safe and comfortable in your home. As a cat owner myself, I understand the importance of a familiar environment, so I offer in-home sleepovers for your pets when needed, giving them the care and attention they deserve while you’re away.
“I simply can’t say enough great things about Judith and her wonderful family. Judith cared for my puppy Saint, whom is partially blind. Her sweet children and Molly welcomed Saint into their beautiful home with so much love and patience. I am so thankful.”
“Jazz always has a great experience with Stephanie and her family. They take very good care of Jazz and treat her like she’s their own. I feel very confident leaving Jazz with her. Very reliable, very flexible.”

“Dexter’s first visit for afternoon daycare. I was told when, I asked “how did he respond to the other dogs”? And he was timid, but warmed up. He was very excited to see us pick him up. I enjoyed having pictures throughout his stay. I will definitely ask again for his next stay.”
“Celia took great care of my dog Tex! She sent videos and pictures and kept me updated on all things. My dog had a wonderful time and felt right at home immediately! Looking forward to having Tex stay with her again!”
“Brooke and her husband did a great job taking care of Toshi! She sent multiple pictures of Toshi playing with the other dogs in day care and he looked so happy! He came home very happy too and tired from a long day of playing! I’ll definitely book again!”
“It was an awesome experience for Paki and for myself. Jocelyn and her family are very kind and they know what they are doing. She was in constant communication, and I really appreciated the fact that she showed me the area where Paki would stay.

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Arcola is $36 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $43 per day.

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 Arcola 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 1,914 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 .
