“Sabrina did a great job taking care of Prince. Everything went smoothly, and my dog was well looked after and comfortable. Communication was clear, and I appreciated knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely be happy to use her again and would recommend Sabrina to others!”
“Jennifer was very accommodating and amazing with my two pups! It’s very hard finding reliable, kind care for my pets when I have to be away from home, but she is truly great! I felt my pets were safe and well cared for and I didn’t have any worries - she even took pics and videos of their playtime! I would definitely continue booking with her.”
“Snehal and Vivek were wonderful caregivers to our cat Happy and dog Nico! Their family is so full of love and we knew immediately our babies would be in excellent hands. I was so grateful to receive pictures and videos very often throughout the day and for how responsive they were to our babies’ needs. I would definitely recommend this wonderful family!”
“Megan and her husband are fantastic! We left our one-year-old puppy in their care, and he had the best time. They treated him as if he were their own. Their flexibility with drop-off and pick-up schedules was incredibly accommodating. What we appreciated most was their decision to board only one or two dogs at a time, rather than a whole kennel.”
“Honey had an amazing time. She was well taken care of and happy. I recieved multiple updates throughout the entire day letting me know she was doing well. She had all the attention and breaks she needed. All of the family and dogs were very welcoming which made Honey's first stay away from home even more successful. In just one visit this has become Honey's second home. Breanna and her family make sure all dogs needs are met and go above and beyond to ensure the dogs are happy and owners are at ease with updates. Honey will be back and I would recommend Breanna and her family to anyone looking for daycare or even a long stay.”
“Cecelia was great with our pup! We were coming from out of town and needed someone to watch our dog for a few hours while we attended a funeral. Cecelia was very communicative and kept our dog entertained while we were away - she even sent photos of the fun :) If we lived in this area, we would definitely use Cecelia again!”
“First time taking Ryder for daycare here. I can tell he had fun from the updates we received, and hes tired now. Haha. We will definitely use them again.”
“My fur babies had a great time with Carly. She took great care of them and sent me updates throughout the day. She also made sure to slowly introduce my dogs to her dog so that there would be no issues. I would definitely recommend her as a dog sitter!”
“Hector was phenomenal in caring for our very large baby, who gets anxious when first departing from us. She was wonderfully cared for and it was incredibly easy to get in and out for drop off and pick up.”
“Jennafer was absolutely amazing with my dog, Gary! He had such a great time playing with her dog Duke, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. She even gave Gary a bath, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. I really appreciated how caring, reliable, and accommodating she was, especially on short notice. I highly recommend Jennafer — 10/10 whether you need a quick last-minute sitter or regular Monday through Friday care. Gary came home happy, clean, and well cared for!”
“Chris is a great dog caregiver, he kept me posted with pictures and videos of my puppy. Chris is always understanding and caring. Definitely continue to request for his help anytime is needed.”
“Steph has done numerous drop ins for my dogs, but today she let my dogs and my foster do doggy day camp for the day at her beautiful place so that I could go and see my grandma one more time. My dogs are so tired and fulfilled! I will def be booking again when I need someone I know I can trust with my furbabies!”
“Fernando was a life saver! I had an emergency where I had to book few hours before, he was available to take care of my Benito and Camila! He sent lots of update of them having fun with him and lots of cuddles! Fernando is very caring and I could truly see that he cared for them like if they were their own!! Thank you Fernando for saving my day!!! I recommend him!!”
About: I have had pets since I was very little and have always dealt with pit bulls specifically. I will say I have learned a lot from them as well as my friend's dogs taking care of them gave me the confidence and patience that I have now. I'm currently a full-time student and recently separated from the Air force. I go to school and the gym in the mornings and have freedom early hours of the day and in the afternoons/evenings. On Saturdays and Sundays, I tend to be busy with church and my bf is off for quality time. However, if needed I can adjust my schedule for certain clients! I believe my dog Milo is my child. I wouldn't let anyone take care of him unless I fully knew a person. So I understand that this can be challenging for other pet owners. I fully take care of any pets such as my own, call me Aunt Ana.
“Jennifer is so amazing. I got a 9 week old husky puppy and I couldn't bare to leave her at home while I'm at work. I talked to several sitters before landing on Jennifer. Akasha my husky is a big baby and constantly needs cuddles attention and potty breaks. Jennifer is soooo amazing with her Akasha gets so excited when she sees we're at Jennifer's for daycare. Her tail goes crazy and she starts running all over. Jennifer loves akasha and akasha loves her she takes such great care of her and treats her like her own dog. If you have ANY second thoughts on who to care for your fur baby look no further Jennifer should be your only choice! I have a recurring weekly daycare with Jennifer for akasha and I know if I have to go out of town who to board her with! Thank you so much for being so amazing Jennifer!!”
“Lola had a wonderful day with Karen. She treated Lola just like family, giving her so much love, affection, and attention. Karen was able to send updates and pictures of Lola throughout the day. I know Karen will be my first go-to person to care for my little angel. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly! She’s wonderful!”
“Look no further and contact Candace! Georgie is a special needs dog with a ridiculous amount of energy and separation anxiety. When Candace opened the door and got right on the ground to greet her, Georgie bounded in and never looked back. Candace and wonderful Jimmy and their family are pure dog people. Their home is dog heaven with outside access all the time, toys, cozy dog areas, soft couches and humans always available. Their adorable dogs are super friendly and welcoming. I can’t say enough how loving and sweet Candace and Jimmy are. Georgie loved them and I grew concerned she wouldn’t leave!!! Candace has a lifetime of experience and an unequaled passion for dogs. I loved her pictures, updates and instant responses. Georgie is just this second interrupting to ask if she could go back this week...”
“Great sitter! She updated me multiple times throughout the day and sent pictures too. She is really caring and patient with both my dogs. Will book again!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets get the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime, while also keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.

Jennifer has so much experience and knowledge with dogs. My 60 lb mutt (Pitty/Australian Cattle Dog, Great Pyrenees, etc.) is a recent rescue. He has seperation anxiety and needs to learn that people can be kind and fun. Jennifer helped him get used to her and her home in the mornig, and by the afternoon he was giving her kisses - high praise indeed!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Helotes on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of July 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 Helotes 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 1,025 sitters in Helotes, 89% 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.
