About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old, this has ranged from small dogs to large dogs! I currently have 3 dogs myself, and they would love a temporary play mate! I have been working home for 10 years, and would love to watch over your sweet babies during my day! I have three minature dauchsunds at home who are happy to play! I have a large backyard that will allow you dog as much playtime and activity as they desire. I can also crate if needed with separate rooms to keep the dogs feeling safe if overwhelmed.
About: I love pets. I have owned a dog my whole life. On top of owning a dog I also would dog sit for neighbors in my neighborhood. I start dog sitting around the age of 12. I have dog sat puppies who needed to go out a lot as well as play with them a lot to get energy out. I also have watched elderly dogs. I have no problem cleaning up dog messes that can happen in the house. I have dealt with a wide variety of dog fluid due to my own dog. I am one who will get there hands dirty. I also love playing with pets and getting on the floor to get their energy out. I have a dog of my own. I make sure to get her outside multiple times a day as well as getting a walk in once a day. During the week I take my dog to the dog park to get interactions with other dogs. I am a stay at home mom who has a very flexible schedule. I have experience with excited dogs who love seeing new people or just getting out to walk. I make sure when walking dogs to give them time to explore while still keeping them safe. When walking if other people or dogs walk past i make sure the dog I am walking is by my side opposite of those walking past for safety.
About: We bought a beautiful house in Forney in 2025. The house has a very shaded backyard, the tree covers over half of the space. The backyard is fenced with tight wooden slats. We both have a lot of experience with pets of all kinds, from dogs and cats to lizards, parakeets, turtles and hamsters! We have two young boys who adore small dogs and all cats! We are looking for kid friendly dogs and cats to pet sit. We don’t have any pets currently so we can give all our love and attention to yours! We only take one pet at a time so that we are able to give them the care that they deserve. I am a stay at home mom and my husband is a nurse who works 3 shifts a week. We have plenty of time to take care of your pets. We have two little boys who love animals but can be overwhelmed by bigger dogs so we only look after small dogs and cats. Because of the kids, we accept pets after 8 am and before 8 pm. We have a fully fenced and half shaded backyard. Our house is comfortable and welcoming to pets. As we have small kids, we are looking for kids friendly pets to look after. Our house is childproofed and can be kept pet proof as needed.
About: Any animal I’ve met I have loved like my own! From the time I was a child I’ve always been surrounded by animals. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Including puppy’s with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! I work from home so I can accommodate any schedule or special requests you may have. I am also available for pick up and drop off. I would love to hang out with your pet. I will take care of them as if they were my own child. We will play and take long walks and get plenty of belly rubs. I will try to make them feel at home with me while you are away. They will be well fed and watered. I will keep u updated while you are away if needed. I have a clean home and fenced in yard for plenty of bathroom breaks.
About: I’ve loved and had pets my whole life! I have always had a hard time finding someone to help watch my own cats, so I figure I can help others that feel the same way! We currently have two kitties, Zoe Nugget and GirlCat (and yes, that’s her real name lol) . It’s been so fun to watch them interact with our daughter as she growsl. I swear she learned how to crawl by wanting to follow them around the house! Kitties are all so different and have special needs and personalities. Let me know how I can best help take care of your babes!! Meow! I was also foster mom for years to several dogs of all different breeds and ages! That experience made me understand why dogs are truly man's best friend and I quickly became a "foster failure" after adopting a deaf pitbull pup stole my heart forever! I even taught him sign language! Not having dogs now just gives me more time to help love on your pups! Let me know how I can provide them the best care for their specific needs! Woof woof! Update!!! Buddy, our two year old poodle, basically fell in our laps from God himself!! He was being mistreated and our friends were fostering him, but already had two large dogs and a toddler. I didn’t have any rover jobs booked at the time, so I offered to help watch him and we instantly fell in love! He’s the most gentle, sweet and calm dog I have EVER met! We just adopted him in the middle of February!! He does great with other dogs, cats, and kids! We’ve had no issues watching other rover pups and kitties since he joined the family!! I take pride in the fact that I do this job the way I would want someone to do it for me if I was going out of town or in need of a sitter! Thank you in advance for trusting me with your fur babes! I’m currently a stay at home mama, so I can be flexible to help take care of your pups and kitties whenever works best for their schedules! I can feed, give meds, brush, play and give all the pets and cuddles! I will treat them like they’re my own and follow any and all directions!
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for them since I was a child. Growing up with dogs taught me how important patience, attention, and love are when caring for pets. I have experience taking care of dogs for family members and friends, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like part of the family and always focus on providing a calm, caring, and dependable environment. Im a homemaker so my schedule is very flexible. I’am available any day of the week including weekends. Which ever time and day is more convenient for you. I have a fenced backyard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. I’ll make sure they have fun and enjoy their stay with us.
“We are so thankful for Kyerah! She was very kind and available to care for our pup with last minute notice. Our pup loved playing with her dogs and was very happy when we picked her up. Thanks again!”
“I am more than pleased with Namita’s daycare services. She treated my Dusty boy as if he was her own. Her whole family was giving him lots of attention and affection and she gave me frequent updates and pics. I’m looking forward to continuing with her services. I would absolutely recommend Namita to anyone seeking daycare 😊”
About: I genuinely care about pets and see them as members of my family. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. I work full time from home so I am here 24/7. Your pet will not be left alone while they are with me. I currently let my own dog out every 2-3 hours so they will get plenty of potty breaks. Pets are allowed on the furniture and I will provide you with photo updates whenever you would like. My only two legged child is 12 years old and is great around pets of all kinds. He does go to school through the day so is only home in the afternoon. I am able to crate your pet if you request it, my home is clean and offers a safe environment for your pet. Your pet is free to sleep/ play on the furniture and will be accompanied by my 3 year old dachshund/shi tzu mix
About: I have owned dogs my entire life varying in all kinds of ages, breeds, and health issues. My dogs are my world and I will treat your dog as if they are my own. I have a flexible schedule being in real estate so that makes it easy for me to schedule these extra dog walkings or check in's for my neighbors. I personally have a dog door with a fenced yard for my two dogs and have spent a lot of time training them so I trust them with the dog door open when I leave the house. For other people's pets, I will of course follow their rules if they crate or leave them free roaming in the house.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Elmo
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 727 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Elmo. 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 Elmo 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 727 sitters in Elmo, 91% 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.
