“She took wonderful care of my pup! And her kids are so sweet with him, they even made him a card~ She also took wonderful photos of Jay to keep me updated. I was very grateful that Sylvia was super lenient with the last minute push-back pick up time. When Jay got back home, he was so tired and went right to bed. I'm sure he spent an awesome time playing around and being well taken care of~ 10/10 would recommend!”
“Gabriela was amazing. She sent some great pictures and kept me updated. Archi loved his day with her evident by his big smile. I will definitely have Archi stay with her again. Thanks so much!”
“It was a pleasure to have Tran & Anh as our pet sitter. They were very nice to our pet. Fast response. Always keep in touch with us throughout the day with pics and videos. Highly recommended!”
“Great experience! Most doggy care places open too late or close too soon for our work schedule. She was able to accommodate our puppy last minute, with our schedule! Our puppy had fun with other doggies. We receive multiple pictures and videos! Great location for people living/working in the med center, downtown, midtown area!!”
“Anna did a wonderful job looking after our sweet puppy! I was nervous about leaving my pup for the first time, but I needn't have been. She was well taken care of and Anna sent me lots of photos and was great at communicating how Indi was getting on. I would highly recommend Anna!”
“Annet and her family is the only one I use for my large, older dog. He LOVES going to them for daycare and boarding. He is an anxious shepherd mix and his stays here are always very relaxing for him and he is always very happy to go to their home. I HIGHLY recommend them.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I personally provide all pet care and handle every part of the boarding experience myself. I treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 I currently stay at home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate my full attention to your pet. I personally handle all care and will be 100% attentive to your dog throughout the day, making sure they receive plenty of attention, care, supervision, and companionship. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. I also make sure to follow each owner’s routines and instructions closely. 🐾
About: I’ve had dogs around me from childhood through adulthood. I feel like dogs are some of the most loyal creatures on earth that will love you unconditionally. Watching and identifying their various personalities, has been intriguing for me. My dog and I spend a lot of time together. We enjoy walks through Terry Hersey Park a few times a week. We also take the opportunity for him to socialize with others, once a week, at Bill Archer Dog Park. With that being said, even though I don’t currently have a yard, there is plenty of opportunity for any dog I am watching to enjoy taking walks and play time in the outdoors. I currently work remotely, so I have the time to care for your fur baby while you are away. I am looking forward to caring for and getting to know your fur baby! Working from home allows me the opportunity to watch and care for dogs on a weekly basis. Every dog that I board temporarily becomes my responsibility and receive the same level of care as my own dog. Due to limited space, I'm only able to board 1 or 2 dogs at a time. Even though I would love to watch more, it's rewarding to be able give the proper amount of needed attention to each dog.
“It's never easy leaving our pups behind, but we felt so comfortable with Metztli that we are already planning on working with her again. She took great care of both our dogs and sent picture updates to put us to ease. Thank you for a great experience!”
“Daniela saved me last minute on a day I couldn't find care for my doodle!! She was flexible, warm, and sent awesome updates throughout the day. I could tell my dog fell in love with her and didn't seem to want to leave at the end of the day!”
“Nothing but gratitude for Alen and his wife. Our young Belgian Mallinois was with them for a week and they did an amazing job from start to finish, keeping me posted the whole way. My pup was well cared for and adapted quickly- I was worried how he would do in a new environment, but these two are pros! If they can take care of a Belgian Mallinois, they can take care of anything!”

I am able to host reactive dogs who cannot see other dogs as well. I have experience in reactivity/dog aggression.
“This is our second time booking with Tori and Lilo loves her! Before ever booking with her, he’d never done any type of doggy day care before. He was a little shy on our first booking but warmed up to her by the end of his first day. By day three he was excited to see her when she came to pick him up. I just had my second booking and as soon as he saw her, Lilo practically jumped into her arms. He actually remembered her and was happy to see her. Tori makes sure to walk him as regularly as he needs and he always comes back happy. He’s a velcro dog and she doesn’t mind LOL. I’d never use Rover before booking with Tori, but am glad I found this app and her! She makes my little guy feel comfortable and safe!”

She was so kind and understanding. We got a new pup that had been crated his whole life but we were going out of town just days later.. Stephanie helped potty train him, bathed him when he woke up covered in poop 😵💫 she kept me updated the entire time with pics and texts. We will be booked her for our next trip but with both doggos!

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 Barker 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.
