“Brook took care of my dog and she treated her as if she were her own. She actually cares for the dogs. She communicated with me throughout the day and even sent me photos. I loved every bit of the experience. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be booking again!”

“Last-minute booking with her and she kept me updated about Coco the whole time! After daycare, Coco came home and went straight to nap—she must’ve had such a fun, playful day. Definitely booking with her again ❤️”

About: I have been around XXL to small dogs, training and loving them. I make my own treats that are safe for dogs to consume. With one acre of land, any dog can run at full speed to get the best exercise for your pet. I will assure that they have a clean water dish with fresh water all throughout the day. I am a stay-at-home mom who homeschools my kids. I have a mini farm where I care for my two dogs and birds while having my children help. We love all animals presence and would take great care of your beloved pet while you are away. When your beloved pet is my home, they will have a great deal of space to run. I will ensure that you get many photo updates so you know how your pet is. They will get plenty of treats (only if allowed) and tons of pets. I will ensure they have the most up right respect as if I were watching a human baby in my home.
“Whitney took great care of Foster. Her household of people and pets were welcoming and Foster ran with the pack. He's tired and smiling! I would bring him here again and highly recommend her to anyone.”

“Definitely found a dog sitter that my dogs and I are all comfortable with! Casey was very understanding and accommodating to my situation and my dogs. She put me at ease with her knowledge and friendliness. I have a dog that has had some seperation anxiety issues in the past. Casey was no stranger to this and asked many questions to make sure she knew how to handle him. Well...none of that information was really needed because my dog sure didn't act like he had anxiety issues around her. Casey is amazing!”


About: (Note to new clients: Please talk to me BEFORE you CONFIRM a booking so I can help you SAVE, thank you!) I am located in Killeen. I love small dogs more than anything else, and have been told by the people who met me and my dogs that I am the best dog owner based on how well cared for my little furry friends look. I can help you take care of your precious dogs so that you can have your mind at ease and enjoy your holidays 😊 I also provide flat rate spa service at $65 per small dog. This includes bathing, drying, eye and ear wash, nail trimming, haircut/deshedding, and styling. Thank you for your interest! I have many years of experience in taking care of both puppies and adults of small breeds. I will do everything within my power to ensure their safety and happiness. My house will be the cleanest and safest environment for your small dogs. No health hazards, no medium/big dogs, no cats, no loud noises, no human kids, no chaos. I do not even own a TV, and I play the piano to them sometimes. This is a calm, beautiful place with nice little doggy friends, cozy beds, fun toys, a cute outdoor playground, exciting activities, and lots of love and attention. (My strict cancellation policy is to make sure my potential clients are absolutely serious about sending their babies to my place, because my time is extremely valuable and 100% dedicated to the dogs in my care. I also cannot afford to have people changing their minds after taking up the spot of someone else who had really needed it. I hope you understand, thank you so much ❤️) 🌷$50 PER OVERNIGHT BOARDING SESSION INCLUDING 🌷 - Two meals and two treats a day.

About: Hello! My family and I are absolute pet lovers, and we would be thrilled to welcome your furry friend into our home. We know how stressful it can be to leave your pet behind. Separation anxiety is incredibly common, and having a dependable, loving caretaker makes all the difference. When your dog stays with us, they become a part of our family. As a registered dietitian, attention to detail and proper care are second nature to me. I apply those same high standards to your pet, ensuring fresh water is always available and no meals or schedules are ever missed. You can fully relax on your trip knowing they are in safe, caring, and structured hands. I am available 7 days/week from 8AM-7PM. I am a stay-at-home mom, so my schedule is flexible for your pet's needs. I am never too busy to take care of your pet. I will make scheduled visits to your home to ensure your furry friend is fed and let outside. Your pet will feel more comfortable in their environment, and I won't miss or be late for a visit. I am open to taking in dogs, depending on the breed and personality.

“I’m so thankful to Isabella for taking such great care of my little baby girl, Kirana! This was our first time ever leaving her with anyone, so I was definitely nervous, but Isabella made the experience so reassuring. She kept me updated throughout the day, let me check in, and sent pictures/videos which I really appreciated. Kirana had such a good time and was very well cared for. You can tell Isabella genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. I’m so happy we found her and definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their fur baby! 🩷”

About: Hey there! My name is Gabby and live out in McGregor Tx. Just down the highway from Woodway. My daycare services are perfect for dogs that are not great in a large dog setting and need more personal one to one setting in which they can relax and enjoy their day away from their owners without all the pressure and stress of a multi dog play setting. I have a private backyard with access to long country walks and private walking trails. You can expect your dog to receive a lunch, walk, play time and tons of cuddles upon every stay. Boarders recieve Breakfast and Dinner (owner provided) as well as a snack. I offer regular dog walks and drop ins for the dogs unable to come over personally or who may not be the best in a group. Doggy walks will always be a minimum mile (unless specified otherwise by the owner) and Drop-ins will include poop cleanups, play time and light housework if desired. I can also offer some quick obedience lessons if desired which just includes the basic doggy mind push-ups, sit, down, stay, come repeated a few times. I use positive reinforcement with treats and verbal cues. Please let me know if your dog has any medical requirements, a special diet or any allergies. I'm able to administer any medications as needed. Also am able to do basic grooming (nails, bathing, genital area clean up, matts). As well as light housework (dishes, laundry, ect.) I'm currently a full time pet mama so my days are spent caring for my own little flock of animals. I currently have my own dog I've trained to be a successful hunting dog as well as fancy chickens that live in the coop in the back. I also have a wide variety of tanked pets including a Leopard Gecko, Texas Rat Snake, Hamster and Betta fish so exotic pet care is also something I can provide for any herp and aquarium owners out there thinking about how they could manage a vacation. I wake up around 5am everyday to walk my Terrier cross and let him stretch his legs first thing. We walk at least a mile before I come home and check on my Chickens, Leopard Gecko, Hamster and Snake. I feed and clean water dishes. Then go and clean the fish tank and use the water to water the garden.
About: I have cared for animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, and turtles. I’ve had 5 dogs and 6 cats throughout my life and currently have 3 additional cats to the 6. Growing up around so many different animals has taught me how to recognize their individual personalities, needs, routines, and comfort levels. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning, companionship, and providing plenty of love and attention. I truly enjoy being around animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. As a stay-at-home mom and Army Reservist, I have a flexible daily and weekly schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I’m home most of the day, so I can provide frequent attention, bathroom breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m able to work pet care into my routine without rushing, and I enjoy having animals around throughout the day. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with different pets’ routines and their owners’ needs. I care for every pet based on their individual routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I would follow their instructions carefully, keep their normal feeding and bathroom schedule, provide exercise and playtime, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection. I would also keep their space clean and comfortable and communicate with their owner about how they’re doing. My goal is to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away.
About: I’ve taken care of and been around many animals since I was young. From cats to horses, I’ve seen it all! I love animals:)! No matter how big or small they are always welcome in my cozy home. We have a big backyard fenced in & a spare bedroom for your pup to lounge around. Also allowed to cuddle on the couch🥰. Plus, my husband has many years of experience from working at a veterinarian clinic so I can promise your pup is in really good hands between us two! I’m a stay at home wife/mom so I can tend to your pets every needs 24/7. I’m always home unless I’m off to a doctors appointment or getting groceries. I have the same schedule everyday that any dog or cat is use too! My pets are very well taken care of. I have a cat named Binx and a dog named June. They are both very chill and relaxed. June is an old girl and she is spoiled. She has her own bed setup (pillows and all) and she gets fed twice a day and gets many treats, hugs, kisses, and rubs. Binx is very spoiled as well. She is relaxed around other dogs but mostly hides and sleeps for most of the day. She gets fed plenty and she is always trying to play with her dad. She is declawed so don’t worry about your pups or cats getting hurt by our babies! I will take great care of other animals like I do mine.
About: I treat every dog like family not just another booking. Whether it’s long walks, cozy boarding nights, or extra belly rubs, I make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and at home. 🐾 I have experience with dogs of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior dogs who need patience, gentle care, and medication reminders. I’m big on consistency and communication, keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your fur baby is doing. Your pup won’t just be cared for ; they’ll be cared about. ❤️ 🚨MUST BE CRATE TRAINED🚨 **MUST BE CRATE TRAINED** My work schedule is very flexible. Although I do work in an office located approximately 10 minutes from my home, I am able to come home throughout the day as needed. This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent check-ins, walks, feedings, and plenty of attention for your pet.

About: I’ve taken care of many pets from small dogs to big dogs. My sister works in the vet field and has came home with a million rescue dogs to take care. I learned how each dog/ breed is unique and that each provides different care which is important. I’m currently a SAHM! So I give pets a lot of playtime. Try to take them on daily walks around 6 with the family :) I have a fenced backyard so dogs can go out and enjoy themselves. Since I have a kid, everything in my home is child proof, so they will both be safe from getting hurt

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Gatesville on Rover is $21.4 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 218 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Gatesville. 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 Gatesville 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 218 sitters in Gatesville, 86% 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.

Don't let your 9-to-5 stop you from being a great pet parent. When you're heading to work, drop off your beloved pet with a loving dog sitter near you. Your dog will get the love and care they're used to at home, and you'll get photo updates and the peace of mind that comes from finding great care for your pet. Doggy day care booked on Rover includes premium pet insurance, and our sitters have access to 24/7 support. We're proud to offer a wide range of pet care, including puppy day care and pet day care for all kinds of pets. We know you love your pets, but you can't always be there, which is where our loving sitters come in. Forget kennels, find a loving neighbor who will give your dog the one-on-one attention they deserve. That way, when you head to work, you know your dog's in good hands.
