About: Dogs have always been part of my life. I've been caring for them since I was 10 years old, and today I'm still the person family and friends call first for dog advice or when they need someone they completely trust with their pets. We work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches of the day. Instead, they'll be part of our daily routine with plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and naps in between. We have three young children who have grown up around animals and understand how to interact with them respectfully. Because of that, we welcome dogs that enjoy a family environment and all the extra love and attention that comes with it. Our home is set up with pets in mind. We have a spacious home, a fully fenced backyard, and gates available if dogs need their own space. Our cat's food and litter box stay safely upstairs, making it easy to keep everyone comfortable. We also share our home with our gentle 80-pound Lab/Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, who loves meeting new dogs, and our one-year-old cat. We take introductions slowly and always prioritize a safe, low-stress environment for every guest. Every dog has their own routine, and we're happy to keep things as close to home as possible. Whether your dog needs oral medication, follows a specific feeding schedule, sleeps in a crate, prefers sleeping in the bedroom, or has other daily habits, we're happy to accommodate them. We also use Barkbus for our own dog and have a trusted local groomer, so if you'd like your pup groomed during their stay, we're happy to coordinate that as well. One of our favorite features is that our backyard overlooks a golf course, giving your dog front-row seats to all the action. Whether they're keeping an eye on the golfers, celebrating a great drive, or wondering how that ball ended up in the water, there's always something entertaining to watch. Our goal is simple: to make your dog feel like they're staying with family while giving you complete peace of mind that they're safe, loved, and well cared for. Because I work from home, your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. Potty breaks, playtime, walks, meals, and rest are naturally built into our daily routine, so your pup won't be left alone for long periods. I love keeping owners updated with photos and messages, and I'm happy to accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and other routines that help your dog feel at home. Your dog's safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We have a spacious home with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and explore. We introduce all dogs carefully to our gentle resident dog and always monitor interactions. Gates are available if a dog needs their own space, and we're happy to accommodate crate-trained dogs or any routines they follow at home. Our cat's food and litter box are kept upstairs, and we maintain a clean, calm environment where every pet is treated like family. Before each stay, we'll discuss your dog's personality, preferences, and any special instructions so we can provide the best possible care.
“Vicki is the best! She treats our pup like her own and cares deeply about all the pets in her care. She’s responsive, accommodating, and gives frequent updates a well. We’re happy to have someone we can trust with our fur child. Thanks Auntie Vic!”
“Julie was fantastic! We left our dog with her for the day and she gave us several updates / photos. Our dog was even feeling under the weather and she recommended some remedies & took such great care of her! Thank you again, Julie!”
“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!”
“Very friendly and kind , went the extra mile by sending frequent notifications. Great availability. Love the other pets allow socializing for my puppy.”
“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!! ☺️”
“I recently took my very active golden doodle to stay with Cindy. She did a great job with him and played ball with him and walked him..and just gave him lots of attention.. My dog Baxter really enjoyed himself and seemed attached to her already. She has a nice big backyard for my active dog to run and play. Baxter definitely wants to go stay with Cindy and her family again!”
“We send our dog Nutmeg to Jamie for daycare twice a week and Jaime is great! Nutmeg loves going to her house and playing with all the dogs and Jaime’s daughters. I look forward to all the pics and videos Jaime sends while I am working!”
“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!”
“Our pets are everything to us and I am delighted to say that my darling puppy has found the best dog sitter. Shalini and her family love her as much as I do. She is safe and pampered at their home. I am so happy that I can trust them with her without any worry. They are THE BEST!”
“They were amazing! We are so grateful our dogs got to spend the day at Amber’s house while we were passing through town for a wedding. Our pups were so happy and in such good hands! 🤍”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life growing up. I have experience with puppies, adult, and senior dogs. I am full time at home and will treat your fur baby like my own! :) I am currently full time at home and love to go on walks. Being at home allows me the flexibility to walk my dog and yours and give a lot of attention to your pet! I have a house with a fenced in yard and one small 15lb, 8 month old dog. She is great and very playful with other dogs. I have no children and live in a smoke free home.
“Jennifer and Dylan took great care of Mars during his doggy daycare. They send updates and photos often and awesome at communication. We feel Mars is in great hands and we don't need to worry about anything.”
“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: Unfortunately, the pictures in my profile are somewhat misleading as my Molly passed away in January 2025. I miss her so much! But, thankfully, Molly taught me a lot about doggie care! As a retired data analyst and lifelong animal lover, I bring a rare blend of reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care to every pet I meet. I’m home full-time, which means your pet gets consistent, focused attention—no juggling or distractions. I specialize in: - 🐶 Senior pet care — I’m patient, gentle, and experienced with older dogs who need a slower pace, medication routines, or just a cozy companion. - 🐾 Puppy training basics — I help reinforce potty routines with calm consistency and positive reinforcement. - 🧠 Behavior tracking — My background in data means I notice patterns quickly. If your pet’s eating, sleeping, or behavior shifts, I’ll catch it early and keep you informed. I treat every pet like family—whether it’s a high-energy pup who needs structured play or a shy senior who just wants a quiet cuddle. My home is calm, clean, and safe, and I’m always happy to tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Im newly retired and my only routine is going to the gym in the morning. But, rest assured, your pet won't ever be alone...my husband is here and works from home. I’m a retired professional who’s home full-time, which means your pet gets consistent, attentive care in a calm, secure setting. My home in Richardson is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly—with one sweet resident cat who’s mellow and used to sharing space. If your dog or cat isn't though, Jaz can always go to my mother-in-laws studio attached to our house if necessary. For dogs who enjoy outdoor time, I have a fully fenced backyard with a pool. I supervise all outdoor play closely and never allow unsupervised access to the pool area. Safety is always my top priority—whether it’s monitoring interactions, keeping routines consistent, or ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure. In your home, I follow your instructions to the letter—respecting your space, keeping things tidy, and maintaining your pet’s familiar environment. I’m experienced with medication routines, senior care, and behavior tracking, and I always provide updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy senior, or a curious cat, I tailor my care to fit their personality and needs—because every pet deserves to feel safe, seen, and loved.

I provide a safe, loving environment where pets get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Available 7 days a week. I follow each pet’s regular routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress.

I can put up my dogs in crate if need be. I want your dog to feel comfortable as if it was their second home.
“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.”

We had such a wonderful experience! They took amazing care of Molly and made her feel comfortable and welcome from the very beginning. They were kind, attentive, and kept us updated with pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Molly felt safe and happy with them. You can genuinely see how much they care about the dogs in their home. I truly appreciate everything and would absolutely trust them with Molly again in the future. Highly recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Plano is $33 per day as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $50 per day. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,856 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Plano. 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 Plano 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 2,856 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.

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.
