“Edmanuel and the Pupkulture team are an absolute dream for any pet parent. Knowing that my dogs are receiving the same level of care, attention, and thoughtfulness that I would give them myself is incredibly valuable and gives me real peace of mind when I’m away. Everything they do clearly prioritizes the dogs’ safety and well-being. My dogs have definitely let me know in the past when they weren’t happy with a daycare option, but with Pupkulture, it’s the complete opposite. They get genuinely excited when we arrive, and they come home happily exhausted, sleeping better than ever. The team is also consistently responsive, provides thoughtful updates and photos, and brings a level of kindness and professionalism that truly sets them apart.”
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and experience with dogs. I started training and caring for dogs when I was just 10 years old and turned that love into a business at 16 by running a successful dog-walking service. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, always providing the utmost care and attention to their unique needs. From understanding the playful energy of puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs, I have the skills and experience to ensure every pupper feels loved, safe, and happy. Whether it’s training basic commands, keeping up with a high-energy pup, or offering extra TLC, I’m here to give your dog the best care possible! Pet care is my full-time focus, and I work from home, allowing me to dedicate 110% of my time and attention to the dogs I care for. My flexible schedule ensures that their needs—whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just companionship—are always my top priority throughout the day. Because I’m home, I can provide constant supervision, regular potty breaks, and plenty of love and engagement. This also allows me to adjust easily to your dog’s routine, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for as if they were at home with you. Safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. If I’m caring for pets in my home, I ensure the space is clean, pet-friendly, and free of hazards like small objects or toxic plants. I provide plenty of comfy areas for rest and have secure outdoor spaces for safe playtime. I closely supervise pets during activities and always make sure they feel at ease in a calm, welcoming environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect. I follow the pet’s usual routine to maintain consistency and reduce any stress they might feel while their owners are away. I also stay vigilant about locking doors, securing gates, and keeping the pet safe during walks or outdoor time. In either case, I make communication a priority, providing regular updates, photos, and videos to reassure owners that their furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“My husband and I were in Dallas for Valentines day and we brought our two dogs for our stay, however we overlooked the details on one of our plans and the time we had to check out of our Air BnB. Tyler was gracious enough to sit both of my dogs in short notice and they had a blast. If we're ever in need of sitting services in Dallas again, we will absolutely be going with Tyler!”
“Emerald was great with Otto! She was able to help me out last minute when my other dog care fell through, and was very communicative and accommodating. She let me come over early with Otto and meet her sweet dogs and kiddo to make sure everyone got along ☺️ Otto came home happy—he was in good hands!”
“Mandee is a very friendly, attentive communicative dogsitter. I had tons of anxiety and so did my newly adopted shelter dog but Mandee immediately put BOTH of us at ease. When I picked up my dog she was having a great time outside and was in high spirits. Definitely hoping to reserve spots going forward. I highly recommend !”
“Shuai is absolutely amazing! His care for my fur baby gives me the time to focus on my in office days. Leaving her with anyone in general is always hard for me, but he makes it easy and anxiety free- knowing she’s in protective hands. He’s beyond responsive and reliable. Highly recommend.”
“Brette was great with Lily! I needed doggy day care and Brette stepped right in. They have a very sweet dog, Ellie, who was also wonderful with Lilly. Brette kept me updated through out the day. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I provide a boutique, home style boarding experience in my 1,800 sq ft home with a fenced yard and only host max 2 dogs at a time for personalized care. I’ve been caring for pets for over 20 years and treat every dog like family. I work from home, so your pup has company and supervision for most of the day. With your approval, I love adding fresh homemade toppers like chicken, egg and salmon to their regular meals. I also enjoy taking photos, so you may receive some adorable updates throughout their stay! I will only take max 2 dogs to ensure it has enough attention. I work from home with an extremely flexible schedule, so pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I love taking walks during my breaks, so dogs get a nice long walk daily, along with plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. I also love taking dogs to trails at least once a week. I live in a spacious 4 floor home with a fenced yard and a private rooftop, giving dogs plenty of safe space to move around and play. There’s lots of room for your fur baby to run, relax, and feel at home.
“Thankful to book with Jiyoung for my puppy’s first time through Rover. She is very caring and communicated well. I love the peace of mind knowing my puppy is in great hands! I highly recommend booking with her & would only choose her for future needs!”
About: I have had my own pup since July 2020 & been able to care for friends and family’s pups for the past 5 years living in Dallas. I am completely flexible to your dogs needs and will be sure they get all the special love and attention while you are away. I live near many parks and even have my own private backyard! This makes your dogs stay extra special with easy accessibility to a potty and fresh air! I currently work in a hybrid role. This is very flexible and if I am dog-sitting I would be home instead of in the office I live in a one bedroom apartment that has a private backyard that is fenced around all sides. I also have a pup of my own! She is a friendly shitzu named Georgie and just turned 4 years old. The yard is easy access for quick potty breaks and access to the sidewalk for long walks.
“Jane is the sweetest and most attentive sitter! I feel so comfortable dropping our puppy off with her! My puppy is always SO excited when we pull up to her house which makes me happy.”
“Lori’s amazing. I booked the same day due to a last minute work assignment (Thank You). Champ’s first stay was full of excessive belly rubs and playtime with her dogs. He had so much fun and didn’t want to leave when I picked him up. Because he loved it so much…he’ll be back tomorrow!”
About: I have had & dog sat multiple dogs of all sizes for my entire life in addition to regular foster & volunteer work! Helping animals is a passion of mine and I will make sure your baby gets the best care and attention while you're away. I've fostered multiple dogs with DAS and adopted my last foster, Josie (the first dog photographed). She is a 50lb ~2yr old pup that loves to play and will keep your dog occupied! Prepare to have storage on your phone, because you'll be getting lots of photos of our adventures. I typically always have someone home during the day and recently moved to a townhome with a yard for play space and easy potty breaks. I always walk my pups in the morning and evening with a mid-day potty break when necessary. Knowing how important routine is, let me know how YOU care for your dog so we can mimic the same routine to maximize their comfort! My dog, Josie, is in her crate when I am away and at night, but this is not a requirement for other dogs in our home!
“First time using Rover and it went great! Je Yeon was extremely responsive and sent pics and updates throughout the day that made me feel confident Cleo was doing well and having a good time/getting all her needs met and beyond. Drop-off and pick-up were easy.”
“Gabriella was incredibly sweet and attentive with my dog, Bea. She made me feel completely at ease, and I could tell Bea was in great hands. I would 100% recommend booking with her.”
About: I’ve spent four years watching dogs and ten years living around them. I’m active and outdoorsy, making sure your dog gets walks, attention, and care. Unfortunately I am back in the job market, but with that being said, my schedule is now more flexible than ever! I will be able to give your beloved pet any and all attention they need any day of the week! I live in a single-bed apartment with a gated dog play area on the property. I also live next to very walkable neighborhood, where I have seen dozens of other dogs out for their daily walks and exercise.
About: Here are the most important things to know: Dogs thrive on a routine and using a dog sitter whether a friend or someone like me is stressful for the dog. A dog left alone in a foreign environment, even somewhere they have been many times, causes more stress. I will do my best to maximize your dogs "vacation." I had a dog for over ten years, we went pretty everywhere together, saw most of the United States, attended events and she made the back of my car her little condo. I tried boarding her once and that did not go well. Thus I know that many dogs do not tolerate that type of environment. I am home during the day and have time and desire to give your little friends attention while you are gone. I am using this site as an opportunity to provide a specialized and unique service experience while you are gone. I think it is best to meet before dropping a dog off in a strange place. I should mention I have stairs and some dogs have trouble going up or down them. I am able to provide meds if that is needed. I also encourage someone to drop off their dog bed or play toys. If I groom your dog, it is a more time consuming approach as I hand blow dry, use a dremel to trim nails (not using a clipper which can hit the quick) and take time to give a haircut. I don't have training giving a specific type of cut. I remove hair which removes hides lots of dirt and dogs seem happy when the experience is over. Either they like having less hair or just that the process is done. I am home most of the time, so the pet won't be left alone much and lot of time to take the dog outside and for walks. Obviously, it depends on what your dog is used to. I am open to letting the dog out and about all day and only crate if I have to run an errand.
“I can’t say enough good things about Jeannine!She was absolutely amazing with my dogs. From the moment we met, I could tell she had a kind, patient energy that my dogs immediately responded to. She took the cutest photos during their time together, and it was so clear how happy and comfortable they were with her. I genuinely feel like I can trust her with my dogs, which is such a comforting feeling. She was so sweet, understanding, and truly went above and beyond. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m in the area!”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in Highland Park is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
These are some of the best sitters anybody could ask for. They are extremely polite and professional and helped accommodate some very last-minute requests including stuff with a same-day notice. We could only hope to be thankful enough to have every sitter on this app be like them.
Sophia did a wonderful job with our puppy! She was so patient and kind even though our puppy was anxious and had diarrhea on her carpet. She said it was no big deal and just took care of it – I was so appreciative. Our dog loved her dog and they had a great time together, they were playing all day long! The second day I brought our puppy over he went straight to her and asked for attention, which is a sure sign that he liked her and enjoyed being with her. Thank you so much Sophia and we will go with you anytime we’re back in town! ❤️❤️❤️
Jirah is amazing! I was so nervous about leaving my baby, Henny, but she immediately put my mind at ease. She communicates throughout the day, sends lots of photos, and is so gentle and caring with him. I know Henny is in great hands because he actually cried when it was time to leave. 😂 It's also a bonus that he's made a best friend in Gilly. Every time he comes home, he's completely worn out from a full day of playing and having fun. I can't recommend Jirah enough! Just don't book *all* of her availability because Henny would be very disappointed if he couldn't keep going back. 💛
Brent and Justin are always so great! Westley took a little time to adjust to going to daycare but they always made me feel confident that he was doing well and being taken care of. I love all the pictures I get throughout the day and Westley comes home happy and tired from playing!
Kelsey has been wonderful watching our toy poodle, Roman. She is incredibly sweet, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which gives us a lot of peace of mind when we’re away. Roman is always well cared for, and we really appreciate the attention and kindness she shows him. We’d definitely recommend Kelsey to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
I had an excellent experience with Taylor! He was flexible with my schedule, communicated promptly, and made sure to send updates with photos throughout the day. My dog can be hesitant and fearful, but Taylor (and his dog, Cooper) were patient and understanding. I had full confidence that my dog was in good hands and I plan to use Taylor in the near future!

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 Highland Park 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 3,277 sitters in Highland Park, 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.
