“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.”
“10/10 service. I’m a first time dog mom and was hesitant about leaving my little baby with anyone. She definitely put my mind at ease and even worked with me even though I made a last minute appointment.”
“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!”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Mandi was amazing with Thor! I could tell he felt totally comfortable and well cared for while I was away. She kept me updated, was super reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure he was happy and safe. I also really appreciated her being so understanding and accommodating when I was running behind on pickup. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
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.
“Gabbar had a lovely time at Ysele 's home with Chewy Daisy and kids. He was content and exhausted after his day care. Ysele is a great sitter, very flexible . We will be booking again and highly recommend her.”

“From our meet-and-greet to the first actual stay, my dog *loved* being at Jason's! He and his wife are kind, love dogs, have a great house setup for doggy day care. My dog can be anxious in new settings, especially if I leave him, but he did great! As Jason said, "couldn't have gone better." I am SO grateful to have found him and will definitely be using their services a lot in the future. I'd give them 10 stars if I could ;)”
“This was my first time leaving my pup away from home and with other people— I am so glad he was with Rini and her husband! They sent wonderful photos throughout the day and I could see that my pup felt happy and right at home. Thank you Rini!”
About: I have had pets all my life and grew up on a farm so I love all animals. I believe that they should be spoiled with lots of love and attention. I never met a pet I didn't like. I work part time from home so I have a lot of extra time to play and love on your pet. Also take daily walks if weather permits. I have a good sized fenced yard, two dogs and a cat to play with your pet. If the pet wants to rest they are good at leaving them alone too.
About: I have a dog named Buster who is the sweetest and is friendly with every dog! I'd love to take care of your doggie when you need and let Buster have another dog to hang with if you like! I work from home so I'm always around to take care of your pup. I'm always home at night if you need an overnight stay with me and I'm available for dog walks and play. I have a large backyard for play time and can walk your dog with Buster. I keep our home clean and don't like to use a crate. If an owner requests it then I have one.
“Valeri has been an absolute life saver this week! She took great care of our two month old puppy. She was super responsive and communicative with this new dog mom. It felt so good knowing my pup was being well taken care of!”
“Wonderful sitter! She was very kind, communicative, and attentive to my dog's needs. I felt completely at ease while my dog was in her care. My pup came home happy and well cared for. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her!”

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.
