“Tammy and her husband were very sweet and took Bubs and for a daycare visit with last-minute notice when our previous sitter had to cancel. Bubs had a good visit and played with two other really sweet dogs that she was sitting. Tammy was flexible and very easy to get along with.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I have rescued most of them. I am able to be at home with them as I do not work outside the home and I am an empty nester. I have a beautiful energetic 2 year old golden to keep them company. I just lost our 15 year old dog so Raider would love the company. Your dog will be loved and treated like family. Raider says that’s a good thing. I have always been a stay at home mom. I am now an empty nester except for my dog Raider. I would be home most of the time with maybe the exception of errands here and there. I have a 4ft fenced yard with a pool for the dogs if they like to swim. They might prefer to be inside In the ac when it’s hot or heat when it’s cold and they will have plenty of room to roam around.
“What truly sets Caitlin apart is the genuine affection and care she and her son showered upon our furry friend. It was heartwarming to see how quickly our dog formed a bond with them. Their genuine love for animals was evident in the way they interacted with our dog, providing him not only with physical care but also with emotional support. The updates and photos we received during his stay were not just reassuring but also a testament to the joy and happiness he experienced every day. Perhaps the most telling sign of a positive experience was our dog's excitement every time we dropped him off. His tail would wag furiously, and he would eagerly bound towards our dog sitter and her son, a clear indication of the warm and welcoming environment they created. This level of enthusiasm speaks volumes about the genuine affection and attention our dog received in their care. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found such a dedicated and loving dog sitter. The flexibility she offered, coupled with the evident passion for animals, created an environment where our dog felt at home.”
About: I have had multiple animals through my life, from dogs to cats to rabbits so my experience with animals comes from a variety of animal lovers. Im currently working from home so most of my day is pretty relaxed and not on a set schedule. This way I can pivot my routine based on the needs of your animal. I have a fenced yard and a 7 year old who loves animals as well so your animal will have a small human best friend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 79 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Joplin. 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 Joplin 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.
As of November 2026, there are 79 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of TX. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 79 sitters in Joplin, 96% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
