“My dog Jake had a great time with Jer and his lab Maggie. Jer and his wife had a very peaceful quality about them, and I could tell that Jake was comfortable the moment we walked in. This was a trial test/meetup for a longer booking later this summer and I would say it was a great success!”
“Jingyi and her husband watched my three little dogs for day care before I left on vacation. As soon as I met Jingyi, any concerns that I had about leaving my babies with a stranger quickly diminished! My little pups thought that they were at a resort! Looking forward to a day without constant rain to run and play more in her lovely back yard! It will be nice to go on vacation and KNOW that my pups will be having as good as time as I will be! 🙂”
“Lisa has been kind enough to watch Leonard on the days I have to go into the office. When I picked him up the first day, he was calm and not at all stressed. She treats him as if he is her own and he feels a lot more comfortable being in a home setting rather than at a doggy daycare. Lisa made sure he was fed at the appropriate times and took him outside when he wanted. Very thankful I’ve found someone caring to watch him.”
“So glad I find Courtney! She is so sweet and loving. My girl was very comfortable in her home. Her beautiful golden doodle and my girl had a great time playing together. Courtney kept me updated and took lots of pictures. Her place is beautiful and clean with nice front and back yard which is so nice. Such a relief knowing my fur baby is having fun in a loving home and being taken good care of. Will definitely have Courtney sit our girl again!”
“Totally awesome and very nice. Her dog was super nice and friendly and had no issues with my energetic pup. When I picked him up on the first day they were in the really big back yard rolling around in the grass. My dog loves running and rolling so he was super happy. She sent out lots of photos and gave great updates during the day. She was able to work with me on times and was free on short notice. I will definitely rebook. I recommend her if your pup is a ball of energy and likes to play with other dogs like mine.”
About: Connecting with a dog is special. I find it easier to do once I've given a good ear scratch and a few massages! I've cared for and loved on my family's cocker spaniels and golden retrievers as I grew up. I was able to adopt my own fur baby as a young adult and now I have a mixed breed that gets all the love. Up until now, I've offered my friends and family dog care and boarding but now I am ready to offer trustworthy care to you as well! I have been working from home for 9 years! I also homeschool my daughter (age 9). We spend most of our days at home. Together we care for our dog Brownie! The most used door in my house is the back door! My yard is fenced and includes a large covered patio. You can usually find me inside sitting by the window or outside in a rocking chair.

I have a secure yard, offer overnight stays, and love taking dogs on long walks no matter how many hours they need! I’m great at keeping pups happy and active, and I always keep their owners updated with regular check-ins and photos. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands with me! I provide full-time care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. During the day, I make sure your pup stays happy, active, and comfortable. We go on multiple walks (as long as needed!), enjoy playtime in my yard, take breaks for cuddles and rest, and stick to any feeding or medication schedules you provide. I also offer overnight care and keep you updated with regular check-ins, photos, and messages so you always know how your dog is doing. Your pet’s well-being and happiness are my top priority every day! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort come first. My home is dog-friendly with a secure yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I maintain a clean, calm environment with plenty of space for rest, play, and cuddles. When I’m in a client’s home, I treat it with the same respect I give my own. I stick to your pet’s routine, ensure they feel comfortable in their space, and provide plenty of one-on-one attention. I closely monitor pets at all times and never leave them unsupervised in unfamiliar situations. I also keep in touch with regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’m 35years old and surrounded by animals my entire life. Growing up, my family cared for 5 dogs and 8 cats, which gave me years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of pet care. Over the years, I’ve also gained valuable knowledge working alongside veterinarians. Currently, I have 3 cats who are back home in Turkey, and I miss them dearly. Caring for animals is not just a job for me—it’s my lifelong passion. I live alone in a clean, quiet, and pet-friendly apartment. While I don’t have a backyard, I do have a balcony and a safe dog-walking area in my complex. I’m flexible with scheduling and available to provide personalized care based on your pet’s needs—whether that’s playtime, companionship, or special attention for senior or shy pets. Since I have no children at home, your pet will receive my full attention and affection. My goal is to create a safe, loving, and peaceful environment where your pets feel comfortable and cared for. I would be honored to give them the same love, respect, and dedication that I give my own animals. I am available full-time to care for cats and dogs. I live alone in a calm, pet-friendly apartment, which allows me to give my full attention to the animals in my care. I have a balcony and a safe walking area in my complex, and I’m flexible with scheduling to meet each pet’s needs. My home is clean, quiet, and perfectly suited for pets. I have no children, so your pet will receive my undivided attention. I take extra steps to ensure a safe and peaceful environment, from securing doors and windows to keeping toxic plants and objects out of reach.
“Love taking Puck to Jill. He jumps out of the case and runs to her tail-a-waggin. I know he is in good hands and she is always so helpful and responsive to messages and schedule changes. I us her services 3 days a week and have for months now and don't regret a single time. You can't get any better imo.”
“They take such good care of my dogs. My girl is very sensitive so I can always tell if someone scares her. Both my dogs are always bouncing off the walls when I come to pick them up. 🥰”
About: I've taken care of my own and friends dogs! I love giving dogs the best care and love especially when their owners are gone. Having dogs I know how precious they are and knowing you want them to have the best care and snuggles. I make sure that your mind is at ease while you are away to enjoy your time and your pups get a vacation as well! Getting pictures and notes just to know they are ok is always nice! I am always open to additional requests to put pet parents at ease. I currently work from home full time. So I am available and have plenty of time to play. We also have a very large yard and walking areas. In the summer we have a pool if they enjoy that as well. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep yours company while you're away. They love to run around and swim in our pool. I work from home so I'm at the house to let them out.
“Rini is so sweet and patient with my large shephard mix dog, Macaroni. Her dog and Mac played all day and Mac was tuckered out when we got home. Rini has a large home and a great backyard that is perfect for larger dogs. If you need a fantastic sitter for your 60lb+ dog, then look no further than Rini!! ☺️”
“Madison was great and very professional. She helped Medusa get comfortable and meet other dogs as she is working on socializing. Madison have an update which was great and put me at ease.”
About: I have had pets my entire life whether I had a cat or a dog I always had one. My dad owns a dog breeding business that for a short period my husband and I helped at before moving. So we are very familiar with dogs and pet care. I am a stay at home mom who has a part time at home job. My husband also works part of the time at home. I am home most of the day and if I leave I usually only ever leave for an hour or two at a time. I have a fenced in yard for your pup to roam outside safely. We walk out pup twice a day. He is a old small shih tzu dog that can offer your pup company but would also likely leave your pup be because he sleeps all day. My kids love playing with pups and playing fetch and giving great pets.
“Ysela is so sweet and has been great taking care of our boy! She sends regular updates throughout the day so I know he’s doing well and he’s always in good spirits when I pick him.”
About: Hello! I have owned and cared for small dogs for 5 years. I have a 1,360 square foot home with a fenced backyard in Princeton, TX that your dog can play in, a sweet small dachshund named Nathan your dog can play with, a basket full of toys to keep them entertained, and a couch they can cuddle on. During your dog's stay, I will send photos and videos to you. I ask that all dogs are up to date on vaccinations, fully crate trained, and have no history of biting problems. Please note that all owners are held financially responsible for any severe property damage (such as chewed baseboards or destroyed carpets) caused by their stay. I work a part-time job 2-3 days a week. During my off days, I am home full time and am able to dedicate my full attention to your fur babies. I make sure all dogs go outside at least 3 times a day (morning, afternoon, and night), feed them on a consistent schedule, and provide cuddles for dogs who need more love and affection.
“Jason did such a good job taking care of my babies! I was out of the country and he was great about giving updates and sending pictures and videos daily! I will definitely be dropping my girls off again!”
“I appreciate Sam and their family so much for taking such awesome care of my puppy while I was away! From the start, I felt totally comfortable leaving her with them. When I picked her up, she was so happy and full of energy. Clearly, she had a great time! She came back nice and content, i can tell she was also well fed. All her stuff was neatly packed and clean, including her leash and bed. Sam and their family were super sweet and kept us updated with pictures and videos every day. They also made sure to check in with us about anything they were unsure of. It’s clear they really love animals and treat them like their own. I’m so grateful for their care and will definitely be using Sam’s services again. I highly recommend them if you need great pet care!”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lucas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,623 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lucas. 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 Lucas 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 2,623 sitters in Lucas, 88% 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.
