“My pup LOVES going to Vimonlucks house. She didn’t want to leave when I came to pick her up today. She’s very sweet and takes great care of my girl. She loves running around with Vimonluck’s dog. Will definitely take my dog back.”
“Teri took great care of our Rosie for day care for 2 days. Rosie was so excited to go hang out with her new friends on the 2nd day, I knew she'd felt very comfortable and welcome there. I would recommend Teri 100%, and will leave Rosie in her care in the future, without any hesitation!”

About: I’m a reliable and responsible pet sitter who genuinely enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I understand that pets are family, so I treat every animal with the same care and attention I would give my own. I provide dependable services including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, while keeping your pet’s routine consistent to reduce stress. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs, whether that’s high-energy exercise or calm, gentle care. You can expect clear communication and regular updates, including photos, so you always know your pet is in good hands. I pride myself on being punctual, trustworthy, and easy to work with, and I aim to build long-term relationships with both pets and their owners. I work a hybrid full-time schedule, which allows me to be home frequently throughout the week. This gives me plenty of time to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship for your pet during the day. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening care, as well as weekends. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific needs your pet may have. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully enclosed acre backyard, providing plenty of secure space for dogs to run, play, and get exercise in a safe environment. Inside, I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly home where animals can relax and feel comfortable. I closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, exercise, and any special instructions, and I always supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate crate training if needed. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, active, and well cared for while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 147 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Mertens. 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 Mertens 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 147 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 147 sitters in Mertens, 90% 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.
