About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I first learned to walk, from high-energy pups to mellow seniors. Whether your fur baby is a playful adventurer or a cozy couch potato, I tailor my care to their vibe. I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and way too many photos (you’ll get daily updates, promise 📸🐾). I offer in-home boarding in a calm, clean, dog-friendly space—think soft blankets, good energy, and lots of tail wags. If your dog is a little anxious, picky, or just needs that gentle feminine touch, you’ve found the right sitter. I have two sons that love dogs just as much as I do, and they help make our home feel warm, loving, and welcoming for every pup. ✅ I’m available for meet and greets always. ✅ Special needs, shy and senior friendly! ✅ Puppy friendly!! My vibe is grounded, nurturing, and detail-oriented—but also fun. I’ll send updates, stick to your dog’s routine, and make sure they feel totally loved while you’re away. Let’s connect! Your pet deserves nothing less than intentional care from someone who adores what they do 💕 As a stay-at-home mom, my days naturally revolve around care, connection, and consistency—so adding pets into that rhythm feels seamless. I’m already tuned in to routines like morning walks, mealtimes, and keeping a calm, nurturing environment. Whether it’s letting a pup sunbathe while I sip coffee or sneaking in cuddles during nap time, animals easily become part of the flow. I love the energy they bring to the house—whether playful or peaceful—and I’m always present to notice what they need. Pets fit right into our home like family, and caring for them never feels like a chore—it’s just another way I get to show up with love and intention each day. When caring for pets, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and right at home. I follow their routines closely—whether that’s specific feeding times, medications, or extra snuggles before bed. I have a secure, fully fenced-in yard where dogs can play, sniff, and stretch their legs freely under my supervision. Inside, they’ll find cozy spaces to relax and lots of attention throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family, tuning into their needs and making sure they’re comfortable, engaged, and always cared for with kindness and patience.

About: I am a full-time work from home mom/dog mom. I love to spend my days meeting and caring for new pups. I have two toddlers and a 2 year old min pin, Rocket at home but have a lot of experience with mid size dogs in regards to grooming, playtime, and diets. While I am not a licenced trainer, I do have a few years experience training my own in formal classroom settings. I love getting to know new pets and look forward to taking care of yours like they are my own. The best part of my job is seeing a happy dog and knowing I had a hand in their happiness. I am a firm believer in the golden rule and definitely feel it extends to pups as well!! Working from home allows me to be present with your dog and allow frequent potty breaks in the fenced in yard. My pup, Rocket, will love the company and offer play time for your dog. I have a fenced yard and great neighborhood for daily walks. I gave a puppy of my own and he loves other dogs. I prefer your dog be in their own kennel at night, so please provide a safe kennel at drop off for boarding.
About: As a devoted dog owner for 12 years, I deeply understand the love, companionship, and joy our furry friends bring into our lives. After the passing of my beloved dog “Trouble” on August 6, 2023, I’ve found fulfillment in caring for other pets. I would be honored to walk, play with, and shower your pups with affection, ensuring they feel loved and cared for in your absence. I work from home full time and am a devoted mother to five children, all over the age of 8, who share my deep love for dogs. After losing our beloved family dog of 12 years in August 2023, we’ve felt a big void in our lives. We’re now in the process of adopting a new fur baby to bring that warmth back into our home. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine, and I truly look forward to giving your precious pets the love, attention, and companionship they deserve. I have a spacious, fully fenced backyard perfect for dogs to play safely. I will be the only person caring for pets during all bookings — no one else will assist with pet care. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities.

“I have had an amazing experience! I have two very different dogs—a tiny 7-pound dog and a very energetic 50-pound puppy—and they did an incredible job caring for both of them. They were patient, attentive, and made sure each dog got the care and attention they needed. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Communication was excellent, and it was clear they genuinely cared about my dogs. I would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!”

Both were relaxed during the car ride home, and I’m sure they’ll sleep well tonight after all the exercise and socializing they did today. I feel great about my upcoming trip knowing they’ll be well cared for while I’m away.”

I live in a spacious home on about 4 acres with a large, fully fenced yard where pets can safely roam, play, and enjoy the outdoors.

They’ll be treated like part of our family and cared for with plenty of love, patience, and attention.
About: What sets me apart is the level of attention and care I give to every pet. Since I work from home, I’m able to be very present and flexible, which means your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and can stick to their usual routine. I’m patient and attentive with all dogs, including puppies who need consistency and basic reinforcement, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra care, or medication reminders. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I also make sure to keep mom or dad updated with messages and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. :) Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I’m able to plan my day around walks, visits, feeding times, and playtime without feeling rushed. This flexibility allows me to accommodate different schedules, including morning, midday, and evening visits. I can also provide consistent attention throughout the day, which is especially helpful for pets that need more interaction, supervision, or companionship. When caring for pets, I always try to follow their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I respect the space and make sure your pet feels secure in their familiar environment while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can relax and feel at home. I supervise them closely, ensure they get enough activity and attention, and adjust care based on their energy level and needs.

About: About me: I have time & quality care to give to the pet(s) you love while walking or pet/house sitting because I'm an online college student.

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Poetry is $29 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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.

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 Poetry 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 October 2026, there are 1,304 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 .
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 , 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 .
