“Britteny is great with my nervous pup. She is very patient and accommodating to make her feel comfortable. She gives plenty of updates and responsive to me asking how my pup is doing.”
“Yun Yun’s first time at daycare with Rowena. She did a wonderful job taking of him and sent us so many nice pics of him all during his day. All the pics, he looked so happy playing with the other small dogs in the house. She said he adapted to her very quick. This was very reassuring to us. We are so happy with her and we will definitely use her in the future. Thank you Rowena for a wonderful play date for Yun Yun!”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, chickens and other birds my whole life, more than 40 years. I’m a retired teacher and empty nester and I’m home most of the time so your fur babies will get lots of love and attention! I’m retired so I’m home and available almost all of the time. I’d rather be at home with furry friends. They’ll get lots of love and attention with me. I have a large fenced yard and a one story house with wood floors. I’m an empty nester so it’s just me and my service dog at home. There’s no kids around just me and my sweet dog.
About: I have an exceptional talent in making each and every canine and feline feel happy and loved. They thrive under my care, and love individual attention and understanding. Pet care is second nature to me, and fits extremely well with my current lifestyle of working part time and living in a retirement community. Pets cared for in my home are well loved and get lots of attention. I walk dogs regularly, and am exceptional at playing with and caring for them. I am in the backyard with them whenever they go outside.
“Great first daycare with Amanda. It’s always a nervous feeling when leaving my girl with a new sitter but Amanda put me at ease by sending pics and updates throughout the day. Pep will definitely be returning!!!!!”
About: I love dogs! They are a special part of my life and I currently have two mini Australian shepherds who are 8 and 6 years old. I have been around dogs my whole life and really enjoy all their fun and quirky personalities. Our house has a nice fenced in yard- your pet will get lots of exercise and outdoor time! I would love the opportunity to take care of your dog and will treat them as part of the family. I homeschool my boys so I am home all the time. Please feel free to ask me any questions that you may. Thanks for trusting me with your pet! I want your pet to feel as comfortable with the least stress as possible! I can take your pup out for a walk in the morning and evening and I will also let them outside in our fenced yard as often as they need. I have a nice fenced in yard for your pup to play. We also want them to feel at home while staying with our family and will make sure they get lots of snuggles, play time and whatever may help make their stay enjoyable!
About: I run this dog boarding service with my daughter who is a sophomore in college and volunteers at Rosenberg Animal Shelter. We have a huge backyard with multilevel decking.

“I’m so grateful to have found Lewis! Layla had a wonderful time. She came home calm and happy. He took great care of her and kept me updated with cute pictures and videos. I know Layla can’t wait to visit with Lewis and Skye again! 🥰”
“My dog had such a great time with Beatrice and her dogs! My dog was very anxious and shy upon arrival, but she made sure Buttercup felt welcomed in her home! She got to play and cuddle with the other pups and I look forward to working with her again in the future! ☺️”
“Alejandro & Keyla were very responsive to my inquiries regarding their services. They wasted no time answering my questions and never left me hanging. They set up a meet-and-greet for us that went very well. They have a beautiful home with a backyard that was a perfect match for our pup, who loves to be outside most of the time. Cleo is our very first pet, and this was our first time having her cared for outside of our home. I had reservations about sending her to a kennel because of negative reports I’ve heard from friends who went that route with their pets. Yesterday was Cleo's first daycare experience with Alejandro & Keyla, and she had a great time! They took her for a walk, fed her on time, and helped her adjust to the other dogs in their home despite her high energy level. They sent us photos and videos of how Cleo was doing, and it was exciting to see that she was enjoying her time there. I feel very comfortable sending Cleo back to Alejandro & Keyla in the future because they took care of her as if we were family.”
“Candace was amazing and kept me updated with photos and text messages. She always responded in a very timely manner. My dog loved her spacious property! Highly recommend, 10/10 first experience.”
“Day 1 was as much a blessing for me and my 4month goldendoodle! Grace quickly adapted and fell into okay rotation with the other fur friends before I dropped her snacks for the day! Ms. Angela’s gentle care, loving presence and professionalism gave me peace of mind for our first time apart! The video and picture updates made me smile!”
“Milton was fantastic working with our Dutch Shepard Max. He was very sweet in Max care and sent us updates on how Max was. Milton is very easy to communicate with and is very accommodating to my husband and I busy work schedule! At the end of the daycare, Max really enjoyed being with Milton!”
“Jia is pawsome caregiver! My new puppy found a good friend - Jia's poodle and he became well behaved, I guess puppy learned good manners from Jia's poodle. I also was getting regular updates with pictures. I can highly recommend Jia's services for day care and boarding.”
About: Hi there, my name is Anne. As a stay-at-home furry mom who works part-time and from home, I have ample time to play with and shower your fur child with love, just like I do with mine. My partner also works from home, and my retired mom lives with us, so your baby will never be alone. There will always be someone in the same room with your baby, most likely sitting next to them. =) My animal experience: I’ve had dogs since elementary school and have never been without a canine companion since. Throughout high school and college, I expanded my pet care experience by babysitting various animals for church members, including dogs, rabbits, mini pigs, and birds. I also volunteered at the local animal’s shelter for 18 months when I was in my late twenties. I have had experience with puppies, senior dogs, and handicapped dogs in the past as well, so I am confident in my ability to care for them. Also, my partner is experienced in dog training and therapy work, and we currently share our home with two rescued Chihuahuas. We are both well versed in medication administration and wound care. Our top priority is to provide a safe and positive experience for your furry baby while you are away. We ensure a secure, clean, and organized environment where your pet will feel relaxed, happy, and protected. * For new Rover customers - please use promo code ANNEQ60631 for a sweet $20 discount! =) Meet and Greet/Pick-up and Drop-off: To ensure everyone’s safety, especially the fur babies, only one pet parent will be allowed inside the house at a time. All fur children must be leashed upon arrival and throughout the Meet and Greet and Drop-off. *Please note that Meet and Greet for non-referrals will be outdoor first for everyone's safety. Please bring all the required documentation to the Meet and Greet* Drop-off time: Anytime after 9 am. Exceptions may be made in certain situations. Please inform me in advance. I have a spacious fenced yard where your fur baby can romp and play alongside my two friendly Chihuahuas if they like. There's also plenty of room inside the house for your baby to roam freely, just like mine. Your baby is welcome on the couch and in my bedroom. My retired mom will pitch in and shower your baby with love, attention, and care as well. She sleeps upstairs and can sleep with your baby if they prefer to be away from other dogs. *There are security cameras outside and inside the house, recording 24 hours a day to ensure everyone’s safety.*
About: Though I have one year of experience caring for my own puppy, I grew up surrounded by my grandparents’ pets and understand the love, patience, and consistency animals need. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own—making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. Since I’m not working at the moment, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. This allows me to be flexible with scheduling, give pets my full attention, and stick closely to their routines. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I can make pet care a natural part of my day. At my home, pets have plenty of safe space to play in my fenced yard, and I always keep a close eye on them around the pool to make sure they stay safe. I also enjoy taking dogs on leash walks to the nearby dog park so they can get fresh air, exercise, and social time. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family.
“Lily did great with our Lucy! She sent a lot of pictures and even a video. We will definitely use her again and certainly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Richmond on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Richmond 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 1,824 sitters in Richmond, 86% 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.
