“I really appreciate Juan for being able to take my dog for a day of day care at the last possible minute. We had came in from out of town which added to my nerves about leaving him in someone's care but Juan sent me constant updates of Clue playing and enjoying himself while in his care. If we are ever in town again and need services, we will definitely reach out! Thanks again!!”
“Lola had a wonderful day with Karen. She treated Lola just like family, giving her so much love, affection, and attention. Karen was able to send updates and pictures of Lola throughout the day. I know Karen will be my first go-to person to care for my little angel. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly! She’s wonderful!”
“Kara was absolutely wonderful! She accepted my last-minute request without hesitation and immediately made sure to ask thoughtful questions about my fur babies’ routines and any special needs. Her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring throughout the entire process, which gave me total peace of mind. It was obvious she truly cared and wanted to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m so grateful for her flexibility and attentiveness, and I would not hesitate to book with her again or recommend her to others!”
“Max is the best! My dog was with him for 3 days and was so happy to go back every morning. Max provided many pictures throughout and was incredibly accommodating to my long work days and knew how to handle all my doggos quirks . I had zero worries while my pup was with him and will absolutely be booking with him again!”

“Lorena took care of my puppy Maya for 4 days, she was the most patient to her, cause my puppy is really energetic and she was wearing a cone. She took care of her like her own, she would walk her almost 4 times a day and she was the most lovely with Maya. I’m so thankful to her, she is simply the best! Thank you Lorena!! 🙏🏻 I know my puppy is a lot and you were so kind to her 🥰”
“April, thank you for taking such wonderful care of Jax every Friday. We truly appreciate the love, attention, and care you give him. Thank you for always sending us videos and pictures, they mean so much to us and let us see how happy he is. Your kindness and genuine love for our fur baby are greatly appreciated. We are so grateful for everything you do for Jax!”
“Cannot say enough good things about Cathy!! Excellent communication and pictures, plus very accommodating to my whacky work hours. My dog can be reactive with bigger dogs, but Cathy was a pro and Bentley is clearly an angel with smaller dogs. You can tell she prioritizes safety and comfort with all the dogs she cares for, and adjusts introductions as needed. Total success! I can’t wait to book with her again :)”

“Nacho was in great hands with Iliana and she took very good care of him. She is very attentive and understanding which was important to us considering Nacho is still very young. Iliana also sent updates during the day which ensured us that Nacho was doing good.”
“Debe was amazing!! You can tell she is incredibly attentive and really committed to helping new dogs adjust to her home. Lots of pictures and communication about how my little dude was doing. She understood his quirks and had no problem adjusting to help him. Cannot recommend her enough and I will be using her again for sure!”
“Anna took great care with my little guy who was very anxious about staying over the first time. She had him sit in her lap while she worked at her desk. He sat in her lap while she ran a few errands. It was clear that he regards her as a good friend when he went running up to her for the next day's drop off. Anna is a real dog lover.”
“Cecilia was lovely! We were visiting SA and needed a place for our puppers to hang while we visited museums so that they didn’t have to stay in our hotel room. Our shy girl was immediately comfortable with Cecilia, and made herself at home immediately. Cecilia sent us lots of cute photos (including some with bandanas and cowgirl hats!) and took the very best care of our girls while we were out. I wouldn’t hesitate to leave them with her again the next time we’re in town. She seems to genuinely enjoy having extra furry friends to love, and our girls were so comfortable with her. I appreciated her flexibility when our drop-off was later than we anticipated, and she accommodated an evening pickup so that we could go to dinner ❤️”
“I was in town for a basketball tournament and we were so happy to find Felicia! She was friendly and responsive throughout. When I picked Kobe up, he was happy and I could tell he had been well taken care of! If you’re looking for peace of mind, Felicia will definitely put you at ease knowing your pup is in great hands. Thanks again!”

“Honey had an amazing time. She was well taken care of and happy. I recieved multiple updates throughout the entire day letting me know she was doing well. She had all the attention and breaks she needed. All of the family and dogs were very welcoming which made Honey's first stay away from home even more successful. In just one visit this has become Honey's second home. Breanna and her family make sure all dogs needs are met and go above and beyond to ensure the dogs are happy and owners are at ease with updates. Honey will be back and I would recommend Breanna and her family to anyone looking for daycare or even a long stay.”

Dorothy was very easy to work with- great communication and flexible with my schedule. I even had an emergency on my back to pick him up, she was incredibly understanding and accommodating. Bailey came back exhausted- he clearly had a great day! I would definitely book again!
Max continues to be one of my top go to doggy sitters! He is absolutely fantastic, always accommodating my whacky work hours and providing lots of updates and pictures. My dog is always so excited when we pull up to his place, and is so happy at pick up. You can tell Max takes fantastic care of the dogs, and I have zero worries whenever my little dude is in his care.
Brenda is such an awesome sister for my boy Max, she's very accommodating and taking care of him. The best sitter I've ever had on here. I recommend her to anyone, she will take good care of your fur babie(s). Thank you so much Brenda for taking care of Max for me, really appreciate it.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Balcones Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Balcones Heights on Rover is $23.54 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 .

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 Balcones Heights 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 1,063 sitters in Balcones Heights, 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.
