“Calli will be my go to for day care needs! I have a crazy work schedule and was in need of some rest and her services provided just that. She is well versed in pup behaviors and trainings. We did a meet and greet with my puppy Bianca and her 3 pups…I left with a sense of trust and surety that Bianca would be in great hands. She gave me a lot of knowledge on poodles and some great training tips as well. Her pups welcomed Bianca with open paws. They are the cutest. She provided lots of pictures and videos and it was evident, Bianca had a blast! A big thank you!!”
About: Dogs have been part of my life since I got my first pup at age 5, and I’ve been raising and caring for them ever since. Our home includes a 7-year-old mini Frenchie who’s a pro at reading the room - she loves a good play session but also knows when to give other dogs their space. My 3.5-year-old is growing up with the same love for dogs and has learned to respect boundaries and recognize when it’s time to play or give pets their space. Your dog will be treated like family here, with plenty of love, attention, and a calm, dog-savvy household that understands every pup is unique. We have a fenced-in backyard for as much outdoor play your pup may require. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, which means I’m around throughout the day to provide attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. My routine naturally revolves around my own pup’s needs, so caring for your dog fits seamlessly into our daily flow. Whether it’s morning walks, midday play sessions, or just hanging out together while I work, your dog will have consistent supervision and plenty of quality time. We have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. My 20-pound mini Frenchie is always up for a playmate when the vibe is right, but she’s equally content to let other pups do their own thing. For peace of mind, we’re just 8 minutes from the nearest emergency vet, so immediate care is readily accessible if ever needed.
“Lina was great!!!!! Our first time with her and she made me feel really comfortable leaving my baby. She sent plenty of pics and videos and my Koa had a wonderful day!!!! Will be back!!!!🐶🐶”
“Mathew and his fiancé provided the best day for my fur baby! From start to finish the experience was stress free with them. I was updated throughout the entire time. They sent pictures and a video so i knew she was comfortable and settled in well. They accommodated her troubles with other dogs, had no issues taking her out and even kept up with her feeding schedule! I was nervous to trust anyone with her breed and her boundaries, but they have absolutely changed my mind! They are truly so caring and understanding of what a dog truly needs to feel safe and be happy. Words cannot express how grateful i am for them. Definitely will be letting my fur baby stay with them again the next trip we take here!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner in the past & know how important pets are. They will be well taken care of! I work from home. I work from home 5 days a week. I am able to be with them 90% of the time throughout their stay. Plenty of bathroom breaks will be provided. I have quick access to outside for bathroom breaks and my apartment complex has a small dog park where they can play! I keep treats as well.
About: I have been an animal lover my entire life and a pet owner for 20+ years! Most of my family are Rover caretakers and now I will be venturing off on my own. I offer an inviting and safe home where your pet will be treated like family. I take pride in being the best doggie grandma to my daughters mini Aussie. I am fortune to share my love for animals with my daughter who is currently studying animal science. Between the two of us we divide and conquer and make sure that someone is always available to give your pup the love, care and attention they will need! I have a secured fenced in yard. Plenty of space for outside play and space for our sunbathe lovers. We have an abundance of toys to keep your pup busy and happy!
“Tiffany is awesome! We are repeat customers and would recommend Tiffany to anyone! She is very responsive and sends pics of your pets throughout their stay. We know she gives our 2 dogs (Weimaraner & Golden) lots of love and attention putting our minds at ease when we have to be away.”
“I was in town for training and needed a safe place for my pup while I was in class. Michael provided exactly that. He has an obvious love of and connection with dogs. Although my guy was less than thrilled at staying with a stranger, I was 100% confident that he was in a great place. And when my training ran late on day 2, he was very accommodating and flexible on my pick up time. If/when I'm back in the area and need a dig sitter, I won't hesitate to call Michael.”
“Beautiful fenced yard. Kids and family dog to play with. Perfect for our Houston Space Center outing. We will definitely use Ashley again if we’re ever in the area :)”
“Silvia was amazing! She took special care of our sweet boy Drip during his day care visit and gave him lots of rubs and attention. She provided us with plenty of updates throughout the day. Drip also got along very well with her other dogs. He will definitely be a returner!”
“Susan made me feel at ease with her care of my recent rescue, Hazel. She was thorough with questions she had or any questions I might have. It was an easy process and Hazel seemed to enjoy her visits, which pleased me tremendously. I'll be a repeat customer.”
“I have found Harveys people!! Angela and her husband are the best!!!! I can now go meet with clients and occasionally do an over night trip knowing my rotten little dog will not be alone!! I am so very happy to have found them!! Thank you Angela!”
“Sherman is a regular with Hannah and her Beagle Beauties. He now knows Wednesday is play day to which he responds with much excitement! Thank you Hannah. My Wednesdays are very productive knowing he is well cared for with lots of love and attention.”
“Eva and Kallven treated my new 4 month old puppy lovingly like one of their own. I was happy he was able to socialize with other dogs and Eva even separated him from the larger livelier dog she was boarding so he would feel comfortable. She sent me pics and videos showing how well he was doing and was very responsive to my messages. I did a trial doggy daycare to see how my pup did before boarding him for a few days and he did very well!! I felt very comfortable using them to board him during my vacation.”
“Johnny was extremely kind with Sam and us!! He was super responsive and understanding. Sam came back extremely happy from his time with Johnny :) he took well care of Sam and kept him safe when it was pouring rain. Definitely would recommend:)”
“Yun Yun’s first time at daycare with Rowena. She did a wonderful job taking of him and sent us so many nice pics of him all during his day. All the pics, he looked so happy playing with the other small dogs in the house. She said he adapted to her very quick. This was very reassuring to us. We are so happy with her and we will definitely use her in the future. Thank you Rowena for a wonderful play date for Yun Yun!”
About: Hi! My name is Sonia and I love animals. I have been pet sitting for the past 20 years and I cannot live without pets. I go on 3 mile walks or runs every day with Knox and I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. I’ve lost two dogs to cancer and heart disease so I am familiar with giving medication and taking care of elderly pets. I have owned and fostered all types of breeds and ages. Knox is friendly with dogs and cats and loves everyone, he wants to be around the attention all day. I have occasional errands and meet-ups with friends, but otherwise, I will be at home. I also have experience with cats since I owned two for their entire lives! For clients who are looking for someone to stay in their home, I am more than happy to accommodate my services in your own home but I just want to let you know that I am working for about 6-7 hours a day, so I will not be at your home all day. I’ve tried this option in the past and have actually found that dogs are much less anxious staying in a place they are familiar with :) I always question if the dog has any separation anxiety. I've dealt with plenty of dogs that experience separation anxiety and I have learned many tricks on how to help ease them into the stay and to feel more comfortable. But having the heads up helps that much more! I don't really have any breed preferences, just that they are friendly! Knox would stay at home unless it is okay to bring him over now and then or you'd prefer if they were to stay with us in your home. It's all up to you and your preference for your pup :) I am working remotely during the day, but I am constantly checking up on the fur babies and taking breaks to play and love on them. My job is very flexible. In my home or yours, I will be following all instructions given by the owner and giving all the attention I can to your pet. I will be working M-F, but my hours are very flexible. Otherwise, I will be around your pet at all times unless I have errands to run.
“Another great day with Miranda and Paula! They took wonderful care of Rooster. They kept us updated with pictures and even took him to the park. He always has a great time there. We really appreciate how well they take care of him!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Iowa Colony
Ashley was incredibly communicative right from the beginning.. Bentley is a very shy dog who takes a while to warm up, but to my surprise, he settled in and got comfortable with her very quickly. She was very clear and thorough with Bentley’s care. That says so much about her calm and caring nature. She truly put me at ease the entire time, making the whole experience completely stress-free. I’m so grateful to have found someone so attentive and reliable. 💛

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Iowa Colony on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of August 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 Iowa Colony 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 1,788 sitters in Iowa Colony, 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.
