“Absolutely AMAZING! My dog literally jumps out the car when I drop him off to Jamie's. He loves being there and she always keeps me updated throughout the day with lots of pics and videos. She truly has a care and love for animals and it definitely shows. Will primarily only be using her from now one! Absolutely GREAT!!!!!”
“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!”
About: I have fostered pets and cared for small dogs! I have also cared for hamsters, kittens, and elderly pets. I am happy to spend time with your pets! Hello! For new and existing clients, I would like to advise that my schedule has changed during Saturdays and Weekdays, as I have a part-time job and will be out from 8am-3pm. However, I organize pet sitting assignments based on my pet caretaking partner Micah's availability during times when I'm not available, in order to provide as much coverage as possible! Shoot me a message and we can organize and see if pet caretaking is possible during your preferred time frame! :) I make sure to keep my environment safe for pets by putting away cable cords, choking hazards, or anything else that may pose a safety risk to pets. For boarding, I have family members in the home! (Mom, grandma, and two siblings, all happy to keep an eye on pets in the home as well!) We just ask for boarding that dogs remain under 35 lbs due to fall risks and limited apartment space!
About: I've been a Dog Mom for most of my adult life, I currently have two. A couple of years ago I took classes to learn to groom and care for dogs. I learned dog CPR, first aid and grooming skills. I have taken care of several of my family and neighbors dogs and decided to expand. I have an entire room dedicated to dog play, grooming and sleeping. My dogs sleep with me and your dog can too if that is what you like. I also have crates if that is preferred. I have a small doggie door that leads to my backyard that is securely fenced. I also have a security gate on my front porch to prevent run aways. I will love your fur babies just like my own while they are with me! I am retired and I am available most of the time. I do babysit my 1 year old Granddaughter sometimes, but will take in a baby friendly dog when she's here. I have a fenced yard and two other dogs to keep your fur baby company. Sleeping arrangements are as the parents prefer, in the bed, on the floor in a dog bed or in a crate. Dogs are temporarily separated during feeding time to avoid conflicts. I stick with parents preferences on treats, eating times, etc. I will send you pictures of your dog if you want. I will love your fur baby just like my own!
About: I’ve been a proud dog parent to my lovable Lab Mix for the past 9 years, and I’ve enjoyed dog sitting for the last 3 years! Your pup will feel right at home here, as I only take in a maximum of 2 dogs at a time to ensure they get all the love and attention they deserve. We enjoy 3-4 walks each day, along with plenty of playtime at the neighborhood dog park. It’s all about keeping tails wagging and paws happy! I’m currently working remote so I have ample time to spend with your pet(s)! We walk about 3 times a day and spend lots of time in the fenced backyard. Welcome to my cozy home on the Frisco/McKinney border! I share my space with my sweet, laid-back 9-year-old pup who loves to nap and is super friendly. We enjoy 2-3 walks a day, and your furry friend will be cared for just like family. I have a crate, comfy bed, and warm blankets ready to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable during their stay.
“Leaving my dogs with someone else for the first time felt a lot like dropping your child off at school for the first day — I was nervous and hesitant about using Rover at first. But after an unexpected situation came up, I’m so grateful we found Van and her family. For three days, they took such amazing care of my dogs. I provided their food, and Van and her family made sure they were fed, able to play outside in the yard, and got plenty of rest and love. The updates, pictures, and videos throughout the stay gave me so much peace of mind and made my days at work so much easier knowing my babies were happy and comfortable. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be reaching out to them again for future doggy daycare or boarding needs. Thank you again, Van and family, for treating my dogs like your own!”

About: Dexter is my 1st true pet. We've been together for 4 years. He's my 1st and only experience with having a pet, but he has shown me why people react to and about their dogs the way they do. Your dog will get the same love here. I work nights so I'm at home all day. My schedule is 7on7off. I'll mainly only watch dogs on my off weeks. That way I'm at home with your pet and my dog all day everyday. I'm only watching dogs in my home where my dog, Dexter, can be comfortable. I now the 1st night or 2 might be hard for them, but they will have free range of the house. If they want to hide in the closet for a day or 2 I'll allow it, lol. I tell everyone this is Dexter's house I just pay for it, lol. Your pet will become our family and I will love them just as I love my own.
About: I bring over 50 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, from tiny puppies and kittens to seniors with complex medical needs. I’m also the co-founder of a dog rescue foundation that has helped save and rehome more than 750 dogs, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities—shy, anxious, reactive, playful, or special-needs. I have real-life experience caring for pets with heart, kidney, gallbladder and other chronic conditions, as well as pregnant moms and newborn litters. I’m confident with medications, special diets, post-surgery care, and monitoring warning signs that may require a vet visit. I’m patient, calm, and very observant, but also loving and fun. I adjust my style to each pet: gentle and slow for seniors or nervous pets, more active and playful for puppies and high-energy dogs. My goal is always the same: that your pet feels safe, understood, and truly cared for, not just “watched.” Pet care is at the center of my daily life. I currently work from my home office, which means I’m able to be with your pet day and night. I organize my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medications or special routines your dog or cat may need. Because I’m at home most of the time, pets are rarely left alone, and I can give them frequent check-ins, cuddles, and supervision. Whether it’s a senior dog who needs calm, consistent care or an energetic pup who needs activity and attention, I’m able to adjust my day to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fenced patio where dogs can safely enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time, and I combine that with regular walks based on their age, energy level, and any medical needs. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible—feeding schedule, medications, playtime, and quiet time—so they feel secure and at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and your rules. I carefully follow your instructions about feeding, walks, crate use (if any), furniture rules, and bedtime routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and condition, whether they need slow, gentle care or more active engagement. My priority is always safety, comfort, and calm, loving supervision, adapted to what your dog or cat needs.
“Jane is always on time abs helps me with my busy schedule. She give lots of love and attention to my puppy. She walks him and helps with his potty training. I never wonder what he is doing as Jane send me updates frequently! He loves going to see Jane!”
“Taylor and her family treated Paris like one of their own. The meet and greet was very important to both of us. Paris went to visit them the following week for day care and had a blast. We can't wait to book with them again.”
“We were very pleased with Deneisha’s care of Pepper. As soon as we entered her neighborhood to drop him off the additional days, he sat up and got excited. He went to her door without hesitation. Deneisha sent us pictures throughout the day. She also allowed some flexibility with the drop off and pick up times. Great experience for all of us”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy caring for them. I currently care for my senior cat, so I understand the extra patience, attention, and routine that older pets often need. I also play polo and grew up on a farm, giving me years of hands on experience caring for all types of animals and recognizing the importance of consistency, safety, and detail. I have experience caring for dogs (my family has dogs at my parents' home), birds, and freshwater fish. At home, I maintain a planted aquarium with bettas, shrimp, and snails, so I'm comfortable caring for aquatic pets as well. Whether your pet needs playtime, exercise, medication reminders, or simply a calm and reliable companion while you're away, I'll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own animals. I know every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I'm committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you return. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, giving me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care. I'm available most days for walks, drop in visits, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs a consistent routine, midday check ins, or extra attention while you're away, I'm happy to accommodate your schedule and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I take the time to learn their schedule, feeding routine, medications (if needed), favorite activities, and any special instructions before you leave. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and attention I would my own. I'll make sure your pets receive plenty of love, exercise, playtime, and companionship while keeping their routine as consistent as possible to minimize stress. Communication is important to me, so I'll provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: I cared for my senior dog while alive and volunteered at a shelter, playing with dogs, maintaining feeding schedules, and returning them to kennels timely. I currently have an open schedule, as I recently graduated from High School. I am able to accommodate all feeding/exercise routines. I can be available for your pet 24 hours a day. Pets are allowed to free roam inside and out as needed. I can also crate you pet as requested. My backyard is fenced for protection. There is a nearby park for frequent walks.
About: Hi! My name is Vi, and I’m a professional pet sitter with Silver Spur K9. We’re a home-based dog care and training business where we open our six-bedroom home to a small number of dogs each day, creating a comfortable, personal environment rather than a traditional boarding facility. We typically welcome up to five training clients per day, while also offering dedicated pet boarding spaces for dogs who simply need a safe and loving place to stay while their families are away. While staying with us, dogs get more than just a place to sleep. We incorporate social activities, enrichment walks, playtime, individual attention, and plenty of opportunities to relax and feel at home. We keep our environment intentionally small so each dog can receive the attention and care they deserve. Our team includes a certified professional dog trainer, myself, and a dedicated kennel technician, allowing us to provide attentive care throughout the day and accommodate each dog’s individual routine and needs. We also offer professional dog training through Silver Spur K9 for families who are interested in adding training to their pet’s stay. Whether your pup is here for boarding, daycare-style care, or training, our goal is to make their stay safe, enriching, and enjoyable while giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 Our days are full of fun! 🐾 Potty & breakfast, walks, playtime, enrichment activities, one-on-one attention, training, social time, naps, and lots of cuddles. Every pup gets a fun, structured day based on their personality! Safety is always our #1 priority! Every dog is temperament-tested to help ensure they are comfortable in our structured, home-based environment and around other dogs. Because we are also a training environment, we maintain clear routines and closely supervise interactions. Each pup receives a clean, comfortable kennel for safe rest and overnight sleep, regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, fresh water, and plenty of individual attention. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy walks, supervised play, enrichment activities, social time when appropriate, and plenty of opportunities to relax and recharge. Our goal is to create a safe, structured, and fun home away from home where every dog can feel comfortable, cared for, and loved.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and I will make sure to love and care for your fur baby as my own so you don’t have to stress when you are away. I am able to go on multiple walks and am able to match and schedule you have for any pet. Your pet will always be supervised, safe, and happy in my home! I walk my dog multiple times a day and have a set feeding schedule. If you already have a schedule in place, I am more than happy to follow it.

If your dog loves to play with other dogs this is the place for you! My dog Oleo had such a great time at Jamie's house. I came to pick him up and he didn't even notice me arriving since he has such a fun time without me. Her regulars are so friendly and sweet my dog fit right in! He fell asleep in the car on the way home, and he seems tired like I took him to the dog park for hours. If I need caring in Dallas again this will 10/10 be a repeat visit.
This was our two dogs’ first time going to Frances for doggy daycare, and they both had an absolute blast! Our dog Oakley is usually very nervous and scared when meeting new people, but she seemed so calm and excited when she met Frances, which immediately made us feel comfortable leaving her there. We also received lots of updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated! It was so reassuring getting to see that both dogs were happy, comfortable, and having so much fun. We’ll definitely be bringing them back! 🐾❤️
Shelly was AMAZING! Great communication, good vibes, and she made both me and my puppies feel safe, they didn't want to leave! They were never alone and got the most love and care they've ever gotten from a sitter on here! We will most definitely be returning! And a great price aswell for the service! Absolutely loved everything environment and attitude towards the doggies, I was able to work knowing that my puppies were safe and very well taken care of 😊
Kristen was amazing she took great care of our tiny puppy and I got tons of updates throughout the day. Her dog was very tolerant of our pup who is still learning boundaries and they were able to have great play time. Will absolutely book again and highly recommend
Angelica took great care of my puppies and kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos. When I picked them up, they were happy and excited, which showed they had a great time. Very communicative and reliable. I highly recommend her and will definitely be using her again.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Richardson
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Richardson is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $44 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 October 2026, there are 3,106 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Richardson. 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 Richardson 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 3,106 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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
