“I am writing this after the first week of daycare for my young lab and could not be more pleased with the care and attention she is receiving. Lola has “endless energy” and came home exhausted every day! Ashley has provided great communication throughout and I would recommend highly.”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life and currently live with two friendly Shih Tzus. I know how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and structured home. I treat every dog like family and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and affection each day. My home is dog proofed and designed with their needs in mind. I have playpens for dogs who need their own space, cozy dog beds throughout the house, toys in every corner, and a clean, secure environment where they can relax and feel at home. During the warmer months, dogs can cool off in a splash pool for a fun and refreshing break. I’m comfortable caring for small and medium sized dogs. I follow each pet's routine and accommodate special feeding schedules. I understand that every dog has a unique personality. I take the time to help them settle in at their own pace and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Communication matters to me. You will receive regular updates, photos, and videos during your pet's stay. My goal is to provide a calm, dependable, and loving home where your pet is treated like one of my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because my two Shih Tzus are my only furry dependents. My fur babies receive my time, attention, and love every day. I treat every guest as if they were one of my own. Each day includes potty breaks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, and plenty of affection. When I welcome dogs into my home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding schedules, exercise, and any special care instructions. I want them to feel comfortable and secure while you are away. One of my favorite things to do is celebrate "Woofdays!" If your pup is staying with me on their birthday, I will happily make the day extra special with a dog friendly birthday cake, a special meal (approved by you, of course), fun photos, and lots of extra love to celebrate their big day. My home is designed with dogs in mind, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. You'll receive regular photo and video updates throughout their stay. This way, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and treated like family. I want every dog to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're with me. My home is fully dog proofed and set up just for dogs, with cozy beds, toys throughout the house, playpens if they're needed, and even a doggy splash pool for hot Texas days. I know every dog is different, so before each stay I'll learn about their routine, personality, favorite toys, feeding schedule, and anything else that helps them feel at home. If your pup needs a little extra quiet time, I even have the space to give them their own room to relax and decompress. I take introductions slowly with my two friendly Shih Tzus and always let the dogs set the pace. My goal is for every guest to feel like they're staying with family, not just being boarded. I'll also send plenty of photos and updates, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and getting lots of love.
About: I have pets all my life growing up and all my adult life. I really enjoy caring for the animals and dealt with many different personalities, temperaments and behaviors, especially for dogs. I also have experiences in training 5 dogs and rescuing dogs. For the love of connecting with the animals they warm up to me very quickly and I seem to always attract animals around me. I also have a companion dog my self that I rescued stray puppy who's been with me for over 10 years now. I'm also an energy healer and can also provide a healing touch for the animals that are stressed and suffer separation anxiety. It will be my great pleasure to provide fun and happy times for your pet and give full attention. I'm self-employed and usually works from home most of the time and have flexible schedules to care for pets including play times and walking times together. my roommate is a professional dog trainer and we have a big spacious homestead vibe house that we share that are kept clean and a dog safe environment. Your dog will have a very comfortable place to stay!
About: *10 minutes from Austin Bergstrom Airport* Hi there! I’m Stevie, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My partner Brandon and I make a great team and we love opening our home to pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away. Your pup will stay in a clean, cozy environment where routines are followed, needs are met, and cuddles are always available. We treat every dog like our own (which means spoiled in the best way). You’ll receive regular photo/video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and in good hands. Whether your pet needs special accommodations, extra attention, or just a comfortable place to nap, we’re here to make sure their stay is pleasant. When your dog stays with us, they become part of our little family. Thank you for taking the time to read our profile and we’d love to meet your fur baby soon! Brandon and I both work from home, so your pup will always have someone around for company, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love. We already have two dogs of our own, so caring for additional pups fits naturally into our daily routine. Our clean home and fully fenced backyard make it easy to keep everyone safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In our home, Brandon and I maintain a clean, supervised, and pet-friendly environment where your dog can relax and feel secure. We follow your care instructions closely—feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and any special needs are always taken seriously. Unlike a noisy boarding facility, your dog will enjoy a calm home setting with regular potty breaks, personalized attention, and a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. We treat every dog like part of our family and make sure they always feel seen, valued, and cared for. Please feel free to schedule a meet and greet!
“Derik was great. We were passing through and needed a sitter for a few hours. He took them for a walk, and let them just acclimate in their own time. Highly recommend!”
“I was very happy and satisfied with the service I received from Alonso and his wife Eva. They treated my dog Charlie with compassion and affection and truly cared for him like he was part of their family. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Charlie was in such kind and attentive hands. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you both so much! If I ever need doggie daycare again, I will definitely use your services.”
“Chris and Callan were absolutely wonderful. They helped me at the last minute with daycare and were friendly, flexible, and responsible. My dog, Sevi, seemed to feel immediately at home in their house, even venturing up the stairs on her own to explore minutes after I dropped her. She came back at the end of the day happily tired and calm.”
“Mariana took tons of photos of our puppy and took her on a walk. Her two dogs were nice as well. However, she did have like 6-7 dogs total at the house when we dropped our puppy off, which she hadn't told us about beforehand (tbf, we didn't ask). I would have appreciated a heads up as we thought it was just going to be her dogs and ours.”
About: I just lost my cat and I would love to have some company without the commitment! I've pet sat professionally for years back in NJ with Kate's Canine Care. I'm a homebody and have nothing much going on this summer. I currently am a sales manager at SEV Laser downtown and this is a great way for me to make some extra income. I have an incredibly flexible schedule and work my own hours. I'm available for boarding or house sitting. Short weekends away or long vacations I'm your girl! My apartment complex has a lovely dog park right outside my building. I love when pets sleep with me (if that's okay with their owners) and cuddle with me. I'm very calm and organized. I will follow specific directions with ease
“Absolutely amazing, came in last minute when my plans for a dog sitter had fallen apart and took amazing care of my fur baby. I think our trip ended up being more fun for him than it was for us thanks to Jen. Highly recommend!!”
“This was my pups first Rover experience and Amber was so great at making me feel comfortable. She sent me photos throughout the day and gave me updates. My pup was well cared for and had lots of fun!”
“Highly recommend! My dog has dementia which means he's constantly having his brains turn more and more into mash potatoes. Patches was able to provide exceptional care with all his special needs and I never worried about him bc he was in such good hands! 😻 Meow!”
“Danielle was outstanding and she provided excellent care to our dog. Every time we arrived, Dakota got so excited and he ran to see his buddies. Thank you Danielle for taking such care of Dakota.”

About: It is safe to say that I grew up with pets as a replacement for siblings. My mother has a love for animals that is over the moon - which made my household and childhood pretty close to living in a zoo! I spent years growing up taking care of all my pets, on top of caring for the number of foster animals that circulated in and out of our house. Over the years my mom and I accumulated a number of bonds with both cats and dogs that may not have had a chance at finding a new home if my mom hadn't come around. Overall, my love for animals is enough to make this kind of work both easy and extremely enjoyable for me! I live in an apartment with a fenced in yard, dog park, access to tons of trails, and stay very active with my own dog, London on a regular basis. We would love to help play with and care for your fur babies! I am currently a full time remote worker so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am more than happy to travel to your home and work the hours that are most convenient for you! I have a lot of training in keeping an eye on animals / doors etcetera to ensure they are safe. Back home, my mother has 7 indoor/outdoor cats, on top of our pups, that we have to keep an eye on at all times! :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Garfield
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,589 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Garfield. 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 Garfield 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 2,589 sitters in Garfield, 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.
