About: I’ve cared for, and have had dogs since I was a child, which has since grown into a huge love and passion for every canine! I’ve had multiple breeds and ages ranging from pups to seniors. I work full time however our home schedule can be flexible! I do have the ability to work from home at times. Our animals receive abundant amounts of attention and 1:1 time with countless hours of outside play! We have 3 older children that will help fulfill any high energy needs or give unending snuggles 💗 I have a fenced yard and 3 small dogs of my own to keep your baby company! I have a room for crates to keep your pup at nights or if we have to run errands so your pup and ours is safe! We have a basket of toys for entertainment.
“Kyle was very friendly and professional when I dropped my dog off to him, he was flexible with my work schedule. I highly recommend him. I could tell that my dog had a good time when I picked him up. I for sure will use him in the future. Thank you Kyle!”
About: Can guarantee your fur baby will be treated as my own while in my care and have lots of loving and playing time. I go on walks daily in our neighborhood we have beautiful trails that range up to 3 miles, a dog park to play fetch and a pond with lots of wildlife for sightseeing. They will definitely get lots of cuddles from me around the clock since I’m working from home, I have a 3 YO friendly Doberman who loves having company and playing with in the backyard. I have experience sitting, walking and dropping in on family/friends pets and also local neighbors. Please reach out if you have any questions ☺️ I work from home full time during the week and can drop in if needed to at your house to let the dog out and for feeds. Evenings and weekends hours vary so please reach out for more info. I live in a great neighborhood that is very dog friendly filled with trails, a dog park and a pond with wildlife walking around it. My yard is a good sized for my Doberman to run around in and fenced. I have 2 older children who love dogs as much as I do to give extra loving. My Doberman is friendly and is the only one in this house so he gets excited to be able to play with new friends.
“Hope provides A+++ service, care and compassion for my big guy Ghost a 115lb 2.5 year-old German Shepard/Husky mix. As my regularly scheduled doggy daycare sitter, I would describe Hope as incredibly caring, attentive, responsive, and fair. She makes me as a dog owner as well as my dog Ghost incredibly comfortable. Since attending regularly scheduled doggy daycare with her on the days I work my shifts (I’m nurse, RN), Ghost’s overall state of mind and resulting behavior has dramatically improved overall. When he comes home after his stay with Hope, he is dramatically more calm, content and relaxed. Improvements in behavior, mood, and overall well-being which I attribute to the care Hope provides for my dog. All in all, I can’t be more thankful to have found Hope to take care of my dog and best friend.”
About: Hi there! I’m a Minnesota born, Bastrop-based dog lover and I’m glad you’ve found my profile. I've been around dogs my entire life and believe a dog makes a house a home. My own fur baby, Milou, is a 5 year old lab mix who loves other dogs and people. He will gladly accept a pal to join us on walks, or chase around the backyard. I have 5+ years experience volunteering with various animal shelters and a plethora of nights & weekends spent house/dog sitting for friends and family. I love to explore new trails, parks, & hikes so your pup's stay will be an active one! I am also a runner and will gladly take your dog along to burn off some extra energy. I took a couple years off from Rover as my family relocated several times. Now that we are settled in the Austin area, I am ready to get back to dog sitting/walking/boarding, and hope to meet you soon! I work from home so I am around to provide company, potty breaks, and perhaps even a lunchtime trip to the dog park! Canine coworkers are my favorite. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space to roam safely. My dog loves hanging out back there and would enjoy a teammate to help him put the neighborhood squirrels in their place ;)
About: I have about 6 years of experience caring for dogs and genuinely love spending time with them! My fiancé and I have a Boston Terrier who is our little homey and a very loved part of our family. 🩵 I’ve also cared for family dogs both during the day and overnight, from feeding and potty breaks to playtime and lots of attention. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their family is away. I’m also happy to send photos and little updates along the way. I work from home, and so does my fiancé, which gives us plenty of flexibility to give your pup attention and care throughout the day. We’re available during the week and on weekends for boarding, with plenty of time for potty breaks, playtime and companionship. We have a fenced yard where pups can enjoy some safe outdoor time, and our Boston Terrier is very friendly and loves making new friends! We’re happy to introduce dogs gradually and give them time to feel comfortable in a new environment. We can also always do a meet and greet! Since my fiancé and I both work from home, we’re able to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also happy to follow your pup’s normal routine, including crate time if needed. Most importantly, we want every dog in our home to feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“I have an energetic puppy dog and Brenda has been great in helping him learn to stay calm around and older, smaller dog. Everyday that I come to pick him up, he's in a great mood and she even sends me pictures of him throughout the day of him playing and having a good time in the backyard and sleeping in his puppy bed. I couldn't ask for a more responsible individual to care for my puppy. 10 out of 10, would book again!”
“Amanda was wonderfully welcoming and really made sure my pup was happy and settled in for daycare. I really appreciated her thoughtful approach to introducing the dogs to make sure everyone was set up for success. Thank you!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a kid but have been a dog owner for over 15 years. I understand that all pets have their own needs and behaviors and I have dedicated myself to caring for others pets the same way as my own: with patience, understanding, love and lots of belly rubs and pets. I would love to help you and care for your pet(s)! Let’s chat about your pet(s) needs and what makes their tail wag! 😊 **Note: My beloved husky Cosmo passed in July 2026 - I currently do not have any pets in the home. ** I work from home every day so that way your pups will not be alone and they will have plenty of attention, play time and care! I live in a very dog friendly neighborhood. My neighborhood is safe for walks, we even have walking trails and our own neighborhood dog park!
“Janie did a wonderful job taking care of my puppy, I can see that he got plenty of play time and was exhausted when we returned home and feel asleep instantly. Thank you very much!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my household so I am very capable of taking care of your doggies needs! Every morning and afternoon we go for a walk to tour the neighborhood, and I will be able to let your dog out to go to the bathroom every 2 hours since i work from home. If there are any special requests please don’t hesitate to ask! I am currently working remotely so i will be able to be around full time to take care of your dogs’ needs! In the afternoons and on the weekends I will usually go run some errands for a few hours, but my dog will be here to keep your pup company! Ever since i was little i was known as the dog whisperer of my family lol! I treat every animal as if they are my own and make them a priority when they are in my care. I have my own 3 year old pup as well so they will be able to have a play mate!!
“Miho takes great care of Bailey. She sends progress reports. She let's Bailey be Bailey and meets his needs without pushing him beyond his comfort level. He's a high maintenance dog, and she handles him like a pro”
“I am writing this after the first week of daycare for my young lab and could not be more pleased with the care and attention she is receiving. Lola has “endless energy” and came home exhausted every day! Ashley has provided great communication throughout and I would recommend highly.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, hamsters, iguanas, fish, etc both own and others throughout our entire adult life. Mostly per friends or family requests but still, so I have a pretty decent understanding about different animal personalities and how to deal with them. I currently work from home. So I will always keep an eye on your special family member while you relax knowing someone is keeping an eye on them. I have a decent sized fenced backyard for your furry friends to explore and run around. The 💩 is picked up as soon as they go potty, to ensure we keep everything as hygienic as possible. There's also a 2 mile jogging track in the neighborhood which I visit every day when taking Yoshi (our dog) for a walk or bike ride. Both of my pets are indoor, so health risks are kept to the minimum.
About: I'm a veterinary technician, I have 20 yrs experience in taking care of dogs and cats. I am CPR certified and I can administer medications if needed. Besides my medical background as a animal lover, I can offer great companionship to your best friend while your gone. I currently have a 7 month old Australian shepherd who loves to play and can also offer friendship. I've been taking care of my friends and family's pets while they go on vacation since I was 19 yrs old. I'm confident in my ability to take care of dogs. I'm currently not working and staying home with our kids and animals. I walk our dog in the morning then hang out the rest of the day, my kids play with our dog. I live on 5 acres but we have fenced off an area behind our house for our dog and goats. I have a plastic kid pool to help them stay cool in the summer. I typically feed my pets twice a day and a treat mid-day. My house can get pretty loud with my kids yell and screaming when then play. My kids are 10 yr (son) and 9 yrs(daughter) old, I have a husband who loves to play with the kids and dog, it can get a little crazy at our house. I also have a 7 month old mini Australian shepherd, she is a shy girl at first but then gets crazy when she decides she likes you. I have 5 cats some like dogs and some tolerate them and just judge. I also have 2 goats in the backyard, they are very nice but will give a warning if something happens that they don't like. All my pets have vaccines and have been dewormed.
About: Hi, my name is Amber. I have had large and small dogs my entire life. A house just isn’t a home without one. Currently I have a black lab mix. Her name is Bella and she is the sweetest girl! She loves everyone and every dog. I have a small yard to play and a quiet neighborhood for walks. I work from home, so your furry friend will have very little time alone. This also helps with puppies that need a little extra help potty training. These are just a few reasons why I am a great option for you and your pups, an opportunity to enjoy your time away knowing they’re in good hands. I’m currently working from home with no foreseeable future of going back in office. I have down times throughout the day giving me opportunities to interact with my pets and any pets in my care. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups to keep yours entertained. The dogs all have free rein of the house but I can also create your pup if needed.
About: I've had pets since I was 17. Dogs are my favorites, cats are adorable, birds are fascinating, and horses and chickens are great. Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Belgian Shepherds, English Bulldogs, Schnauzers, and Miniature Boxers. I have plenty of time available, I have ample space and green areas, and in addition to offering walks in the countryside, I also provide pet care and ensure they are kept clean. In a covered area, there are also green spaces, allowing pets freedom to enjoy nature. Depending on the level of trust established with your pet, it's preferable not to use a leash so they can enjoy the freedom of the open space.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,879 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across McDade. 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 McDade 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 1,879 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 1,879 sitters in McDade, 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 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.
