About: I have a Boston Terrier. She loves to play and meet new friends. We're always ready to welcome new four legged play date(s) in our home. 😊 🐕 I work from home so your pup will get plenty of attention, along with plenty of play time in our yard as well as some neighborhood walks. I have a fenced in yard with one other dog that is very friendly and loves to welcome new friends so no need to worry.

About: Hi there! 👋🏼 My name is Brenda. I grew up in a small town surrounded by animals—cats, dogs, chickens, and horses. I was raised around German Shepherds, but these days I share my home with a medium-haired cat named Tofu and a belgian malinois named Safi. I’ve spent a lot of time caring for animals, both at home and professionally as I used to be a veterinary technician for four years. I’m now a stay-at-home mom, but my love for animals hasn’t changed I still love being around pets and would be so happy to help care for yours! Pet sitting is the perfect way for me to stay connected to animals while also being able to stay at home with my baby girl. Bilingual As a stay at home mom my schedule is super flexible, and I can easily accommodate you and your pet’s needs! I am available Monday through Sunday. Our home is a cozy three bedroom space, and one of the rooms is set up as a guest room with a twin bed—our cat loves to lounge there! She’s also welcome on the couches, and the same goes for any other four legged visitors. We also have a spacious, fenced backyard that’s perfect for playtime or lounging in the sun. If it’s more convenient for me to come to your home, I’m happy to make that work as long as you’re okay with me bringing my baby along if needed and your pets are gentle and comfortable around little ones.

About: Hello! Welcome to my profile! :) My name is Yari, me and my husband are both Army veterans who just moved to Lockhart in 2024. We are so happy to be here. I’ve taken care of puppies to elderly dogs like (Nacho the pug) for all of his life (all of 16 years) and my Luna for 13 years. I have over 15 years of dog sit/ in-home check-in experience for multiple families. I am kind, gentle and patient with every animal I care for. I work from home, so I will definitely have a lot of time for your furbabies! I am available for house sitting/ doggy day care/walks mostly anytime of any day. I am mostly free to do check ins for your pups in-home depending on what and when you’d prefer. I have a BIG fenced yard with 2 friendly furbabies (Luna the yorkie and Fang the Bluey) to keep your pups company. I can crate your pup or they can stretch their legs throughout the house and yard.

About: I love dogs. My past pet experience are amazing dogs are the most pure-hearted animals I know. One comment I get a lot of that I attracted a lot of animals, cats too. I love cats as much as dogs, one think that will set me apart from other sitters is that I want the dog to trust me. I want the dogs I take care of to see me as someone that they are ok with and not someone that is just there to watch them. I want them to enjoy the time with me as much as I will enjoy my time with them. Cats as well I want your animals to trust me as much as you will trust me to take care of them. i’m currently in school with no job but i will work after and on weekends, i love animals and don’t mind spending most my time with them. i live with my mom and we have a big yard(1.8 acres) so they live running out side and i have a big room with lots of space and a big bed so animals can lay on it.

About: Hello all pet parents! I am new to Rover. I've recently relocated to Luling, TX. I am looking for small gigs like taking care of furry friends because pets are my life, as I'm sure they are yours too! Most of my professional and personal experiences with pets have been with dogs and cats, to include feedings, scheduled walks and playtimes, administering medications, bathing, nail trims, and just plain ol' cuddling. I am big on SAFETY as it is the most important thing when your pet is away from you or in someone else's care. I understand different breeds may need different types of attention, especially when factoring in age and certain health conditions. Please allow me a chance to meet your pup (or cat) and help you out occasionally! Cheers! (Smaller critters welcome, we all need a little checking on!) I’m currently a stay at home pet mom while I attend online classes to become an educator, which is self paced. It is very easy for me to balance your pets needs with my own! I may allow overnight boarding from time to time in my own home, I will keep my calendar open for that accordingly. I can take your pets outside to favored parks or areas, or care for them in your own home. I do not wish to stay overnight in your home, but may be available for extended hours.

Olivia was a life saver! We’re out of town and had to visit the hospital so we had to figure out what to do with our dog! Olivia responded right away and we were at her house in less than 10 min dropping off our pup! She was very kind and we know our dog was well cared for while we were out. It was too easy! Thank you so so much Olivia!

About: With 10 years of hands-on experience in caring for animals, I am passionate about providing the best care and attention to pets. I thrive in environments where I can be surrounded by animals, and their presence genuinely enhances my day. My goal is to pursue a career as a veterinarian, where I can continue to care for and improve the lives of pets. I am dedicated to ensuring the well-being of all animals and am eager to contribute my expertise and love for pets to a professional setting. I’m currently on summer break and available full-time for pet care until school starts back in August. This gives me a flexible schedule to provide dedicated attention, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day based on your pet’s needs. I have a dedicated space in my home for the pets I care for, complete with toys for playtime and a designated feeding area. I also have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks. I always make sure pets are fed at the times requested and that they have fresh water available at all times. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while maintaining your pet’s regular routine.

About: I have had dogs my whole life and love them. I have rescued multiple senior dogs and am comfortable with all kinds of personalities and breeds. I currently have two extremely friendly young dogs if your dog wants a walking buddy, they would love that!! I currently work a flexible part time job and am getting in shape for our wedding this spring so I want to walk and hike as much as possible. I would love to have more pups to walk and play with in addition to mine! I have a fenced in yard, a ball launcher in the backyard to play with, two VERY friendly and well-socialized young dogs to play with your fur baby! I love walking and hiking, and would love to take your pup with us during the day.

Gina did an initial meet and greet to make sure Prince would be comfortable in her home. Gina did a wonderful job taking care of my maltipoo dog Prince. She fed him, made sure he had plenty of water and played with him. She also gave me an update during his visit. She is conveniently located to where I needed to be for an event. Thank you, Gina.

About: I have extensive experience in caring for animals. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or just some extra cuddles, I'm here to provide personalized and loving care for your furry companions. With me as your pet sitter, you can relax knowing your pets are in capable and caring hands while you're away. Let's chat and see how I can help make your pets feel happy and well-loved! I’m a RN who works from home, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your fur babies. I typically try to go for walks in the mornings before it gets too hot outside. I have a 2 year old spayed friendly Frenchie girl who is very well socialized and loves to play! We live in a one story home, with a fenced in yard and a doggy park nearby.

About: I've been around dogs my entire life, I love dogs and I've been pet sitting for friends and family for many years. My own personal dogs are heelers named Bobby and Nico. Bobby’s been through a lot in his life (broken leg) but I've gained a lot of experience caring for him while injured and gained a lot of knowledge in general dog care in our 7 years together. They’re both high energy dogs that love being outside so I enjoy taking them on hikes. I majored in Animal Science focusing on livestock but if I can handle a large animal, you bet I can handle any breed or size of dog. I maintain a pretty active lifestyle so if your dog has a lot of energy, I'm a great fetch partner and running buddy!

About: I’ve had cats and dogs for most of my life and caring for animals is something I truly love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I have experience caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including administering medications, supporting mobility challenges, and providing a calm, patient environment. I know how important consistency and gentle care are, especially for pets who need a little extra attention. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved every step of the way. I currently have cats of my own but they are used to other pets in the home, including dogs. Additionally, I offer complimentary meet and greets prior to petting your pet, to see if it’s a good fit. I work from home and my schedule is flexible, so I’m able to interact with and love on your fur baby all day. I can also pick up and drop off your little one if need be. I do have a few cats of my own, so if you have a kitty needing care, it may be best for me to care for them in their own environment. My cats are used to other pets though, including dogs, so they are more than welcome in my home. I also have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room for your dog to run around and live in a neighborhood conducive to walks.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Joliet

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 1,679 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Joliet. 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 Joliet 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 1,679 sitters in Joliet, 83% 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.
