“Rochelle was great with our babies and we will definitely be leaving them with her again in the future. Good communication, pictures, videos, and both dogs came home happy and tired - ready for a good night’s sleep!”
“Pat and Claudette were wonderful with our little Cannelle Claudette is real professional who has been taking care of dogs for many years. She doesn’t take on more than three dogs so that she can give them her full attention. I would definitely recommend them to take care of your pets.”
“Marci was very sweet and responded quickly to my last minute request. She sent updates and photos throughout the day and communicated well. I will request days with her in the future.”
“Rico is a rescue puppy and was left alone in his early life making him a little needy and does not like leaving your side...Saying that, his furrrst stay with Sheila went great! She provided an update while playing and let him "hang" with her to assure him, it's going to be okay... We already have another date schedule and I know he's looking forward to seeing her and Skeeter again!”
About: Hi there! My name is Lauren. Some helpful things to know about me is that I have 5+ years experience in animal care. I've worked at animal shelters and as a manager at a pet daycare/boarding facility, I also have done pet sitting and dog walking on my own in the past. I've recently moved to the area and want to continue working with animals. I am responsible, reliable and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I love to send lots of updates and pictures so you know your pets are well taken care of. I have just recently moved to Alvarado and left my job at Operation Kindness Humane Society because the commute would of been too long. So my schedule is very open as of right now while I look for another job. I have a large yard, however it is not fully fenced. If you'd like for your pup to come to my house I would walk them to go potty. I also have 2 dogs that are dog friendly so if your pup likes to play they will get along great. My dogs are fully vaccinated and up to date all all shots and preventions. For your baby to stay with me I would need to see vaccination records, just to make sure everyone is safe and healthy. If you'd prefer me to pet sit at your home I am more than happy to do that as well and stay consistent with the daily routine you have with your animals. This is usually my preferred way, as it is less stressful for your animals to be in a familiar environment.
“This was our first time using rover and it was an incredible experience. Bambi and Molly spent very active and happy days with Joshua and his family. Excellent communication, he always kept us informed of our fur babies with photos and videos. We will definitely be returning. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I currently have 3 italian spinones that we breed every couple of years for breed preservation. I also have a mini Australian shepherd named Charlie. I am used to personalizing care for my dogs. I have taken care of friends’ animals and would love to help with yours! I currently work full time from my home and I am easily available to take periodic breaks with my flexible schedule. I am also available most weekends. My dogs are kennel trained and I prefer to board kennel trained dogs in my house. I will follow any instructions for your pets and insure they are well cared for!
“Tracey was great. Lulu had a great time and was well taken care of. Lulu hasn't been with a sitter for quite awhile and Tracey was a good choice. I will be using her again.”

“Lucyna was wonderful. My pup, Sophie, has plenty of experience with Rover hosts and Lucyna is tops! Sophie was excited to go back each morning during her four-day, doggy daycare stays. You know the host is good when your dog wants to go back. Lucyna was incredibly kind and easy to work with. I highly recommend her as a host.”

About: I truly treat every pet like my own. I make it a priority to keep owners updated with regular messages, photos, and little notes so you always know how your fur babies are doing. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands. With over a decade of experience caring for dogs that need daily medication, I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and patient. I take time to play, comfort, and bond with each animal - not just to meet their needs, but to make sure they feel loved and secure. Just let me know how I can help! All summer I am FREE! During the school year I’m available for some Saturdays, all Sundays, and weekdays after 6-7 PM. I am a teacher! Whether you need an evening walk, weekend drop-in, or someone to spend a little extra time with your pets while you’re away, I’m happy to help whenever I can! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make sure they feel completely comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I follow each pet’s routine closely — feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and cuddles — to keep everything as familiar as possible for them. I’m available for week day walks, drop-ins, and extended sitting, depending on what your pets need. I have over 10 years of hands-on experience giving medications to my own dogs (one of whom needs multiple meds daily), so I’m very comfortable administering pills, liquids, or injections if needed. Communication is a must for me. I will always let you know if something comes up, all I ask is the same from you! If we have clear communication from the start we will be just fine! Whether it’s walks around the block, belly rubs, backyard fetch sessions, or just sitting with them for comfort, I give every pet the same love and attention I give my own - Roscoe and Blue have taught me how much those little moments matter. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a passionate pet lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs. Originally from Colombia, I’ve raised dogs always making sure they feel comfortable and understood no matter what! I’ve been in Texas for 10 years and brought my own dogs along for the journey. Right now, I’m the proud owner of a 12-year-old West Highland Terrier, who’s a sweet senior pup. My other dog, a senior Chow Chow, sadly passed away a few months ago after battling cancer. Throughout her journey, I gained invaluable experience in caring for a senior dog and learned the deep commitment and compassion required to ensure their comfort and well-being. I truly believe pets are family and should be treated with the same love, care, and respect as any family member. I’ve helped neighbors and friends with boarding, daycare, and walks, and I’d love to do the same for your furry friend. Whether it’s a relaxing day at home or a fun walk, your pet will be in good hands with me!. I'm currently working from home so I can make sure take your pups for potty breaks often as needed and if I leave home, will be for couple hours to run errands. At home, we have a fenced backyard where they can roam freely and play, and we’ll make sure they have fresh water and food regularly.
About: I work from home so your baby will get non stop attention. We only board small to medium size dogs (Less than 30 pounds, some rare exceptions, feel free to ask). I specialize and care for lots of puppies, elderly dogs that need extra medical care. I have 3 dogs of my own that loves to play and super friendly as well! I have plenty of time for your pups available any time really and I will be able to send you daily pictures! I would love take care of your fur baby! They will have a big backyard to play in and run around! They will have ton of time to free play and relax! I love to spoiling them all!
About: I’ve taken care of numerous breeds from English Mastiff's to dachshunds. I own 2 cats myself for 3 years and grew up with at least 4 dogs in the house my whole life. I have lots of puppy experience! I’m a stay at home mom so me and my son are always home! We love to go on walks and be outside! We have the time and available to meet all of your pets needs and wants! I live in an apartment with a dog spot and park downstairs! I am always very cautious about opening the door due to my own pets.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Rio Vista
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 388 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Rio Vista. 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 Rio Vista 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 388 sitters in Rio Vista, 92% 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.
