“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!”

“Debe was beyond amazing and cared for my Sammy as I would. I liked the great communication and photos/videos I received. My visit to San Antonio was great and knowing my lil guy was in good hands while I explored the city made it even better. I would recommend Debe to anyone. Thank you so so much for taking care of Sammy in your home. Also glad he had buddies to play with as well.”
“April was wonderful taking care of my sweet boy for the day! She was super flexible and accommodating with my crazy schedule, and Oliver loved being with her.

About: Hey yall! My name is Dorothy and I'm a Florida transplant enjoying my time exploring Texas! I'm a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for pets, including fostering animals in need. At home, I have a sweet cat named Cairo and an energetic puppy named Pharaoh, who loves making new friends. I treat every pet as if they're my own, providing lots of love, playtime, and attention. Whether your furry family member needs care, cuddles, or a playmate, I'm here to help and make them feel at home! I've decided to take pet sitting on as I'm saving up to go back to school this year! After losing my mom to cancer back in April 25, I've found myself reignited to go back to school and complete my degree as well as buy a car. I'd love to reach my goals in my favorite way, being surrounded by loving furry babies who I can pour attention and love into. Excited to work with you 💕🥰 Looking forward to meeting your pets! I work full time from home so I have plenty of time and attention to give to your sweet babies 🤍 They'll get plenty of walks and potty breaks! I make dog park runs twice a day as there is a park right next to my home. My community has a dog park, walking trail 6 mins away, and I have a fenced in porch area to hang out outside when the weather is nice! I don't have any kids and my home is kept clean so no chances of your babies eating something or getting hurt 🤍
“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.”
“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!”
“Breanna is amazing at taking care of my dog misa and always willing to accommodate to my work schedule. She always sent pictures and updates on how misa was doing during the visit as well. I would recommend her to anyone!”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Balcones Heights on Rover is $23.54 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 1,070 sitters in Balcones Heights, 88% 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.
