“From our meet-and-greet to the first actual stay, my dog *loved* being at Jason's! He and his wife are kind, love dogs, have a great house setup for doggy day care. My dog can be anxious in new settings, especially if I leave him, but he did great! As Jason said, "couldn't have gone better." I am SO grateful to have found him and will definitely be using their services a lot in the future. I'd give them 10 stars if I could ;)”
“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! I currently have an open availability to care for your pets! My colleague Micah is also available to provide pet care on days/times when I'm not available. Kindly message me for times and days and we can work around that schedule! 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.
“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: Hello! My name is Erik and through growing up with cats and raising a rambunctious 6-year-old Golden Retriever, I'm the perfect active adult to take care of your animal friends. I work from home, giving me plenty of time for ball throws, tug of war, and enough snuggles and head scratches that your pet may never want to leave. I work from home full-time and take plenty of breaks throughout the day for walks, ball throws, and bathroom breaks! Because I already have a dog myself, regular breaks are already baked into my schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am within walking distance from several large grassy areas. Furthermore, working from home full-time allows me time to be attentive to your pet's needs!
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
About: Hello future friend! I have house and pet sat professionally for clients on two well-known websites for 5 years. I’ve done the same via personal referrals for friends & family members for 30+ years. I am very experienced. I loooove all animals & will care for, snuggle, and dote on them like the precious beings they are. I am especially good with anxious and/or emotionally insecure pets. I have experience administering medication as well. I am very quiet, neat, and clean. I'm happily single at age 56, stable, healthy, and very responsible. My schedule is flexible for walks, errands, chores, playing, and outside time. Sending much care to you as you consider your travel and housesitting plans. Best, Melissa My schedule is fairly open for pet care, petsitting, and housesitting related duties. Just let me know what you need. I’m flexible and will work with you! If I come to you, I will follow your routines, schedules, and instructions to the letter. If possible, I prefer to meet and greet with you beforehand to experience you and your fur babies in person. That way, you can introduce me to your home and routine together. I’ve had great pet care and housesitting experiences where meeting beforehand wasn’t possible as well. I like animals to be where they want to be, including the furniture, beds, etc… depending on their personal preferences.
“Been such a huge blessing to have my pup stay with them. They take such good care and are so wonderful and accommodating if changing schedules. Really can say enough good things :)”
“I can tell my dog loves staying with Kailei based on how excited she gets prior to arriving to her home. My dog comes back happy and tired. I feel very safe leaving my baby with her. Thank you, Kailei!”
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.
“Very friendly and kind , went the extra mile by sending frequent notifications. Great availability. Love the other pets allow socializing for my puppy.”
About: I have grown up a dog lover as I have had a dog everyday of my life except for a few months at most. I have experience giving dogs medication, bathing and brushing, as well as training dogs. I am caring and loving and would love to have a little company as I take online classes at home. I am taking courses online from home during the weekdays. I would love to take your dog on walks in the mornings and give them plenty of attention throughout the day and evening. I am available during weekdays and weekends. I have a great dog park in my apartment complex and a trail nearby for walks. I have bowls, treats, and poop bags if needed.

About: I have been around dogs of all sizes and ages since I was 9 years old. I am comfortable with all animals and love to run around and play with them, as much as cuddling with them. No matter how young or old, or energetic or tame, I promise to care for your animal as if they were my own. I work full time remotely from home and am able to provide all the love, attention, walks, and potty breaks needed for your fur baby! I have a fenced patio for them to get some fresh air and watch all the squirrel, birds, and people through out the day as well! I let all the pets roam freely in the house when I am home and only have then kenneled when I am gone which is about 2 hours as most when I have practice I have to go coach! We have a fenced in balcony as well as a fenced in yard for animals to play in. There is also a great trail system for good walks.

Shelly was AMAZING! Great communication, good vibes, and she made both me and my puppies feel safe, they didn't want to leave!

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
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!
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 July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 3,220 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.
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 3,220 sitters in Richardson, 88% 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.
