“Wonderful family! Our goldendoodle was comfortable and had a great time. They were very flexible with our plans and made it easy for us on our trip to Austin! Thanks so much!”

About: Dog owner for 15 years, professional treat-giver, and expert belly-rub provider. I'm comfortable administering medications and have many years experience with puppies of all ages. I will care for your pup like they're part of my family. I work from home so it's very easy for me to take your pup on as many walks as needed. I also have a huge backyard for lots of games of fetch. I have a dog of my own, so doggie care is ingrained into my lifestyle. My backyard is fully fenced, and I have a crate available if requested. I’ll always follow your preferences and your dog’s individual needs to help them feel comfortable and at home. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and even the bed if that’s okay with you! My home is very small-dog friendly, as I have a dog and cats of my own. For everyone’s comfort and safety, your dog should be cat-friendly.
About: I’ve cared for 3 foster dogs and love volunteering with cats. I have become a professional pet spoiler and learned how to care for high-energy pups! I take self-paced online classes, so my schedule is flexible. This allows me to spend lots of time with pets, give them attention, play with them, and make sure they’re comfortable. I don’t currently have any pets of my own, so your pet will have my full attention and care while they’re with me. I have a fenced yard where your pet can safely play and get some fresh air. I’ll be very attentive to them and make sure they're safe and entertained. I have lots of dog toys, lick pads to calm them and make them busy. I’ll make sure to follow your care instructions and update you with photos! I will give them lots of love, attention, and cuddles throughout their stay.

“Luna was very happy when I dropped her at Emma’s and when my husband picked her up. Emma sent pics during the day and let me know that Luna was having fun and getting along with the other dogs who were there. We will definitely use Emma again!”

“Doug literally waits by the door and cries until Erika comes to pick him up. It is his first thought when he opens his eyes in the morning. Thank you for taking such good care of our guy!”

“Basil had an awesome time with playing Louie and friends! He got to play ball, go on a forest walk, and had a safe, active doggie daycare experience. We would definitely book again with Julie & Justin.”

“This was my first experience with Rover and Pepper's first experience at a Doggy Day Care. I was a bit concerned about how Pepper would act as it was her first time away from me. However, Christopher's confidence and plan for Pepper quickly put me at ease. Pepper adapted to the environment fairly quick and loved playing with the other dogs. Christopher's professionalism and care were greatly appreciated. I highly recommend using Christopher.”

“I had an excellent experience with Alexandra. She took such great care of my dog and treated him like her own. I received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home very happy. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”

“Mercedes and her daughter were very welcoming and friendly with Tinker. We had quite a hassle free experience in communicating with them during drop off and pick up. We are definitely looking forward to drop Tinker with them again in future.”

About: I have been pet sitting since age 12. I have experience with farm animals, fish, gerbils, reptiles, cats, and dogs. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I have taken care of senior dogs that need certain medications as well. I would love to help with any pet needs. I am focusing on online school, so I’m home most of the time. I will request a schedule or a planner from the pet parents that I follow. The planner will go over what time to feed, walk, and any other special instructions. I have a fenced in yard. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat to keep your fur baby company. 2 Shih Tzus, and 1 border collie. They are extremely friendly and never been an issue for any other pet family.
“Stephanie is great! Communication was clear and prompt. I received great updates and pictures. She has a beautiful yard and it is obvious that she really cares for the dogs she watches. I had a completely worry-free time knowing my pup was in great hands!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats my entire life and have always had a dog as part of my family. I currently have a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets—especially when they’re family! I’ve been taking care of neighbors’ pets and watching our family dogs while they’re out of town since high school, which has given me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs. I absolutely love animals and would be so happy to provide your pet with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. I always take the time to get to know each pet individually so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, extra playtime, companionship, or just someone to check in and make sure they’re happy and comfortable, I’m here to help. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring, responsible hands. I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pup and become someone you can count on! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time outside of the home in the mornings, and I work from home for the remainder of my workday. This gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day to provide your pup with the attention and care they need, including walks, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine and will make sure your dog gets regular attention rather than being left alone for long periods. I’m happy to work with your pup’s usual routine and schedule to help them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away! I live in a comfortable home where your pup can feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. While we don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to always take dogs outside on a leash for potty breaks and fresh air, or take them for a walk if they need some extra exercise and enrichment. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide. I have plenty of space for a crate if your pup is crate-trained or prefers having their own familiar space. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, fresh water, potty breaks, and playtime or exercise based on their needs. I take safety seriously and will always keep your pet supervised and secure while in my care. My goal is to make your pup feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: With roughly four decades of dedicated dog care experience, I offer more than just walks and boarding; I provide a loving home away from home. Every wagging tail receives personalized attention, snuggles, and the patience they deserve. I believe in clear communication and pay meticulous attention to every need and detail, ensuring your furry friend feels safe and cherished. From light training reinforcement to exciting walks and invigorating hikes, every moment is tailored to your dog's happiness and well-being. Entrust your beloved companion to me, where they'll find a second home filled with love, care, and adventure. I currently work part-time (flexibly) from home, so I am able to consistently attend to your pup's needs and provide play, snuggles, and exercise throughout the week/weekend. I have a fenced yard, and live in a neighborhood that is great for walking (I do daily walks and/or hikes). I am happy to adapt to whatever routine your dog is accustomed to, such as crating, furniture rules, walking or feeding routines, etc. I have a 4 year old, female Aussie/Lab mix who has yet to meet an enemy. She is a happy girl with lots of energy, but does not tend to overwhelm dogs who need their space.
“Maura and Shawn were so kind to my sweet rescue dog! They sent me pictures throughout the day and made sure to ask lots of questions during the meet and greet to get to know my pup and how to care for her. Thanks so much!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Fitzhugh on Rover is $33.3 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 Fitzhugh 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 2,653 sitters in Fitzhugh, 84% 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.
