Edmanuel and the Pupkulture team are an absolute dream for any pet parent. Knowing that my dogs are receiving the same level of care, attention, and thoughtfulness that I would give them myself is incredibly valuable and gives me real peace of mind when I’m away. Everything they do clearly prioritizes the dogs’ safety and well-being. My dogs have definitely let me know in the past when they weren’t happy with a daycare option, but with Pupkulture, it’s the complete opposite. They get genuinely excited when we arrive, and they come home happily exhausted, sleeping better than ever. The team is also consistently responsive, provides thoughtful updates and photos, and brings a level of kindness and professionalism that truly sets them apart.

About: We’re a dog-loving husband and wife team offering intentional, hands-on care. When your dog stays with us, they’re part of the family. What makes us different: • 1:1 attention (we limit bookings so dogs aren’t competing for care). • Daily photo and video updates so you never wonder how they’re doing. • Two adults home and involved. Double the supervision and engagement. • Dogs are welcome on the furniture and bed (if that’s what they’re used to). • Structured walks plus playtime at our local size-separated dog park for safe socialization. • Comfortable administering oral medications. • Experience with puppies, high-energy breeds, and seniors. We also have a friendly 5-year-old Maltipoo who genuinely loves making new dog friends. If your pup enjoys companionship, they’ll have a built-in buddy. If they prefer space, we can separate them too. We pay attention to routines (feeding schedules, sleep habits, energy levels, and comfort). Our goal is that your dog leaves our stay feeling relaxed, exercised, and at home. You’ll receive consistent updates, proactive communication, and fast responses. If you’re looking for a warm, structured, low-stress environment with real engagement, we’re a great fit. Let’s set up a meet & greet and make sure it feels right for everyone. Pet care is built into our daily routine, not squeezed in around it. At least one of us is home throughout the day, so your dog isn’t left alone for long stretches. This allows for consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, structured walks, and intentional playtime. Our typical day includes: • Morning walk or play session • Midday engagement and check-ins • Evening walk and wind-down time • Flexible potty breaks as needed Weekends are fully available, and we’re flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups when possible. Because we limit how many dogs we take at once, your pup gets our full attention, not just background supervision. Your dog will be staying in a calm, home-based environment where they’re treated like part of the family. We have: • A friendly 5-year-old Maltipoo who enjoys making new dog friends. • A nearby size-separated dog park for safe, structured exercise. • The ability to separate dogs if needed for comfort or temperament. • Experience reading dog body language and managing introductions properly. Dogs are allowed on furniture and even the bed if that’s what they’re used to. We aim to keep their routine consistent so they feel secure. We carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special requests. We’re comfortable administering oral medications and sticking to detailed care plans. If you and your dog do best in a warm, structured home with attentive supervision and daily updates, this will be a great fit.

About: I have had pets my whole life. I love being around animals and caring for them. I currently own a Goldendoodle who is part of my family. Taking care of her has been such a joy. I work part time so I’m very much available for any of your pets’ needs. I have a daughter but she is in school so I am free during during the time she is at school. I am also free some evenings and weekends as well. As a pet owner myself, ensuring the wellbeing of your pet is my top priority. I will always make sure they’re more than good. Safety and play time is very important to me.

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and experience with dogs. I started training and caring for dogs when I was just 10 years old and turned that love into a business at 16 by running a successful dog-walking service. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, always providing the utmost care and attention to their unique needs. From understanding the playful energy of puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs, I have the skills and experience to ensure every pupper feels loved, safe, and happy. Whether it’s training basic commands, keeping up with a high-energy pup, or offering extra TLC, I’m here to give your dog the best care possible! Pet care is my full-time focus, and I work from home, allowing me to dedicate 110% of my time and attention to the dogs I care for. My flexible schedule ensures that their needs—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just companionship—are always my top priority throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love and engagement. This also allows me to adjust easily to your dog’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for as if they were at home with you. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I ensure the space is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards like small objects or toxic plants. I provide plenty of comfy areas for rest and have secure outdoor spaces for safe playtime. I closely supervise pets during activities and always make sure they feel at ease in a calm, welcoming environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I follow the pet’s usual routine to maintain consistency and reduce any stress they might feel while their owners are away. I also stay vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and keeping the pet safe during walks or outdoor time. In either case, I make communication a priority, providing regular updates, photos, and videos to reassure owners that their furry family member is happy and well cared for.

Farmers Market District, Dallas, TX, 75201

About: Throughout my life, I've owned/cared for a range of family pets--5 dogs, 2 cats, guinea pigs, hamsters and mice. As an foster and volunteer for the Austin Humane Society, Dallas Pets Alive, and the SPCA, I have cared for animals ranging from newborn litters to abandoned seniors, and volunteered at two therapeutic horse ranches... helping ensure the calm, steady relationships between horse and rider. This deep, practical experience means I understand animal behavior, recognize when a pet needs space or comfort, and prioritize their safety above all else. What truly sets me apart is my ability to offer your pet my undivided attention and a calm, stable environment. Because I am retired, I do not have the distractions of a full-time job or a busy household. My day revolves around ensuring your pet feels safe, secure, and loved. I live in a highly walkable, vibrant neighborhood that is perfect for daily strolls. In my quiet townhome, your pet will enjoy a small and front yard, a large rooftop, a peaceful routine, and plenty of companionship so you may enjoy total peace of mind while you are away. Throughout the day, I am primarily based at home, allowing me to provide steady companionship, regular potty breaks, and a predictable routine. My schedule enables me to easily adapt to your pet's specific feeding, medication, and exercise habits. Whether it is a midday stroll (weather permitting) or quiet companionship while I read or run quick local errands, your pet will safely integrate into a calm, attentive, and structured environment. At my home, pets enjoy a small, grassy, fenced front yard for quick sniff breaks, plus a large rooftop terrace perfect for stretching legs and enjoying fresh air between morning and evening walks. Indoors, clean pets are fully welcomed on the furniture and beds—my home is their home! I love providing as much quality cuddle time as they will allow!

I can’t say enough good things about Jeannine!She was absolutely amazing with my dogs. From the moment we met, I could tell she had a kind, patient energy that my dogs immediately responded to. She took the cutest photos during their time together, and it was so clear how happy and comfortable they were with her. I genuinely feel like I can trust her with my dogs, which is such a comforting feeling. She was so sweet, understanding, and truly went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m in the area!

About: I provide a boutique, home style boarding experience in my 1,800 sq ft home with a fenced yard and only host max 2 dogs at a time for personalized care. I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and treat every dog like family. I work from home, so your pup has company and supervision for most of the day. With your approval, I love adding fresh homemade toppers like chicken, egg and salmon to their regular meals. I also enjoy taking photos, so you may receive some adorable updates throughout their stay! I will only take max 2 dogs to ensure it has enough attention. I work from home with an extremely flexible schedule, so pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I love taking walks during my breaks, so dogs get a nice long walk daily, along with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also love taking dogs to trails at least once a week. I live in a spacious 4 floor home with a fenced yard and a private rooftop, giving dogs plenty of safe space to move around and play. There’s lots of room for your fur baby to run, relax, and feel at home.

About: I have had my own pup since July 2020 & been able to care for friends and family’s pups for the past 5 years living in Dallas. I am completely flexible to your dogs needs and will be sure they get all the special love and attention while you are away. I live near many parks and even have my own private backyard! This makes your dogs stay extra special with easy accessibility to a potty and fresh air! I currently work in a hybrid role. This is very flexible and if I am dog-sitting I would be home instead of in the office I live in a one bedroom apartment that has a private backyard that is fenced around all sides. I also have a pup of my own! She is a friendly shitzu named Georgie and just turned 4 years old. The yard is easy access for quick potty breaks and access to the sidewalk for long walks.

About: Taken care of many of my friends dogs, I have even taken roadtrips with few to enjoy a long hike, fetch and a nice view with meal. Experience with miniature puddle, border collie, golden retriever to American Pit Bull Terrier. All pets are family all with different personalities that can brighten anyone’s day. I allow all dogs on furniture and follow all care needs to ensure excellent quality of care. I know some dogs need to be tucked in and get a kiss goodnight and some just need to make sure you sit down and eat with them 🫶 I currently work part time with free weekends can rearrange schedule for a set routine with advance notice of 20 days advance if needed during weekdays that I’m not normally available. I have a balcony that leads to fenced backyard free of clutter, my place is located near a park and a walking trail. The place gets deep cleaned disinfected and steamed cleaned to prevent any bacteria’s from spreading from breed to breed.

Jirah is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my baby, Henny, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She communicates throughout the day, sends lots of photos, and is so gentle and caring with him. I know Henny is in great hands because he actually cried when it was time to leave. 😂 It's also a bonus that he's made a best friend in Gilly. Every time he comes home, he's completely worn out from a full day of playing and having fun. I can't recommend Jirah enough! Just don't book *all* of her availability because Henny would be very disappointed if he couldn't keep going back. 💛

Roy has been incredible! Pogo has hated every other daycare he's ever been to, so I was amazed when, on just the second day, he got excited as soon as we pulled up to Roy's house. Since then, he's been happy to go every day. Roy sends several photos throughout the day, which gives me peace of mind, and he's been super flexible with scheduling and timing. It's clear he truly cares about the dogs he watches. I've already scheduled Pogo to go every Monday through Friday. I can't recommend Roy highly enough!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Dallas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dallas on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 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 .

As of September 2026, there are 3,250 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dallas. 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 Dallas 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 3,250 sitters in Dallas, 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.
