“Ariel was the best! Not only did she answer and accept my last minute request at 2:00 a.m. for the same day at 10:00 a.m. in MINUTES, when plans changed, and I asked for my 5 month old puppy to stay for an extra hour and a half, she was more than willing. She provided constant updates and photos throughout the day, and kept my boy entertained (he was exhausted that night- haha). She is truly a life saver. Thank you endlessly, Ariel. Truly! You're the best :)”

“Just purchased a puppy and didn’t want to leave him at home while I work from 6-4:30 so I decide to book daycare time with Robin. Her knowledge on how to care for dogs/ puppy’s is incredible!!! Not only did she stay in constant communication with me about my puppy but, she was also sends me adorable pictures and videos. Robin went the extra mile and is slowly teaching my puppy crate training along with potty training. She takes him out every hour or so for potty breaks and even allows him to run and play!! I hope if you decide to book with robin you will love her as much as I do! 100/10”

About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with taking care of both cats and dogs. I currently have two dogs that are spoiled rotten. They rely on me to bathe, feed, groom, walk, and play with them. I trained my dogs as puppies and have taken care of my own senior cats and dogs throughout the years. I have taken care of my sisters dogs and friends dogs while they were out of town. I have a very flexible schedule as I work from home mostly. I have plenty of free time during the week or weekends to play with or board your babies. I have a fenced in backyard and have two small dogs that love to play with others. I can crate your fur babies if needed.
“Jennifer took great care of my dog, Lillie. Due to unexpected events, we had a last minute booking, and she made sure we were comfortable with her care and that Lillie was at ease. I was pleased with the attention and interaction she had with Lillie and will use her again.”
“Kelly was the best experience I’ve had on Rover. I needed day care for my 2 poodles last minute, and she responded right away that she was available. She was flexible with drop off/pick up, sent me pics immediately without me asking, and had great communication the entire time. She really saved my day and encouraged me to enjoy my trip. I will definitely be using her again if I’m ever in the area.”

“Nya is amazing! I was in town for a week for work and needed help with my sweet, smart, & slightly skittish little dog. She watched him for 3 of my longest & busiest work days. She responded quickly to messages. It became clear from our conversations that she takes training seriously (with her own pup) and understands the value of exercise & play in building trust and giving my pup a full and joyous day. Nya is so sweet & patient, which is exactly what my pup needed. If I’m ever back in the West Palm Beach areas Nya will be my first call. I highly recommend her!”
“Michelle was very nice and had great communication. She sent many pics and videos, which I love. My dog is very energetic and can be a lot and seemed to get along with her dog. Definitely would recommend”
“Heidi rocks! Her home matched her way of being; was warm and welcoming for Tank bc he gets separation anxiety especially in a new place. It didn't take long for him to feel right at home with Heidi who was wonderful to deal with as she sent lots of fun updates throughout the days while Tank was with her. I highly recommend Heidi for anyone traveling to Galveston!”
“This was my first time leaving our pup Salem, and Aislyn made the experience so easy and stress-free 🥹 She was super kind, sent lots of pictures and updates, and kept me reassured the whole time. Because of her, we were able to fully enjoy our day in Galveston knowing Salem was in great hands. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her! 🐾✨”
About: I’m a dedicated pet owner with hands-on experience caring for multiple dogs and cats in my own home. I currently have 3 boxers and 4 cats, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and routines.

Whether your dog is high-energy or more laid-back, I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like part of the family. I have a flexible schedule and am able to provide consistent care throughout the day. Since I already care for my own pets daily, I’m used to maintaining routines and making sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and boarding, including weekends. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and plenty of experience managing multiple pets in a calm, structured way. I’m comfortable with crate use if needed and always prioritize safety, supervision, and following your pet’s routine. My home is pet-friendly, and I’ll treat your pet like one of my own while keeping you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.
“We hit the jackpot by finding Lori and Billy last minute to watch our Australian Shepherd, Hawkeye, who we have only had three weeks. We were going on a family beach trip to Galveston but the owner wouldn't allow pets, so we had to find someone close and quick. The day before we contacted Lori and sent her pics and info and she immediately said yes! We received pictures everyday of Hawkeye happily playing and being loved on. You can tell they truly love all of their guests and treat them like family. My two little boys came home and raved to my husband how nice Lori and Billy were to Hawkeye and us. I highly recommend them and even though we don't live close by, I would drive there again for Hawkeye to stay. I know he's in great hands and having fun!!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Bayou Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 371 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Bayou Vista. 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 Bayou Vista 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 371 sitters in Bayou Vista, 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.
