“Jamie cared for our dogs for doggy daycare. They came back tired and happy which is all I could’ve hoped for! She sent lots of photos and gave my dogs plenty of attention and ways to play. I appreciate her willingness to care for my dogs but mostly I appreciated her ability to care for my dogs like they were her own. Will definitely use again!”
“Jason did such a good job taking care of my babies! I was out of the country and he was great about giving updates and sending pictures and videos daily! I will definitely be dropping my girls off again!”

“Eva and her family are the best, they send pictures and updates throughout the day. We have use them for both dog sitting and for boarding and loved both experiences. If they’re available I want to choose Eva first every time!”

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!
“Stephanie is very caring and attentive, I appreciated the communication and photos she provided while watching over my dog after her spay surgery. My dog was immediately comfortable with Stephanie, and that's rare. Will definitely be using her services again.”
“Traci and her family are so wonderful! Daisy loved being there and I got photos all throughout the day. Upon pick up she was so happy and you can tell she was super taken care of!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Shalini & Jerry. They have been taking such good care of my little pup :) You can tell from his temperament that it has improved and just how well mannered he is becoming by being with them during the day. Can’t thank them enough for all the care :)”
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 don’t just “watch” pets, I actively engage with them to make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. I’m comfortable with puppies who need consistency, basic training reinforcement, and lots of patience, as well as senior dogs who require a calmer environment, gentle handling, and close monitoring. I pay attention to routines, behavior changes, and specific instructions so your dog’s normal schedule stays consistent. Clear communication and photo updates are also a priority for me, so you always feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I prioritize creating a schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I make sure I have dedicated time for walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins so each dog gets consistent attention and care. I’m organized and plan my days to avoid overbooking, which allows me to be fully present and attentive. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening routines, I make sure your dog’s needs come first and their schedule stays consistent. I create a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I stick closely to their normal routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, supervision, and affection so they feel right at home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their usual environment and routine to minimize stress. I carefully follow all instructions, keep their space clean, and make sure they get consistent exercise, enrichment, and companionship.
“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!”
“Wonderful and patient. Frankie had a great time. Thank you being able to watch Frankie last minute. Would definitely use her services again and recommend to others. Frankie was so happy and she updated me often which I appreciated!”
“Thanks so much for providing excellent care for our Cavapoo. We greatly appreciated the video and text message updates. Blaze is looking forward to us going out of town again so he can come back to play with Copper and Lancer. Thanks so much, William.”
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.

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 😊

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.
Terrese was SO sweet and tentative with Blue and Bear, Blue can be very shy but Terrese was very patient with her! I will definitely be contacting again to watch the two, felt very good while I was gone all day she kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the day. :)
Brenda is the most beautiful soul, she is absolutely adorable with personality and caring. My dogs loved her so much that they cried because they did not want to leave her side. It is not always that you run into people with that beautiful caring personality inside and out. She will go far in life. From the moment that you communicate with her you will know that you made the correct decision in choosing her. She is available and always communicate promptly. She receives your dogs with lots of care and love. Brenda We Love You!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Richardson on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,144 sitters in Richardson, 89% 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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
