About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I have experience with taking care of both cats and dogs. I currently have two dogs that are spoiled rotten. They rely on me to bathe, feed, groom, walk, and play with them. I trained my dogs as puppies and have taken care of my own senior cats and dogs throughout the years. I have taken care of my sisters dogs and friends dogs while they were out of town. I have a very flexible schedule as I work from home mostly. I have plenty of free time during the week or weekends to play with or board your babies. I have a fenced in backyard and have two small dogs that love to play with others. I can crate your fur babies if needed.
“Just purchased a puppy and didn’t want to leave him at home while I work from 6-4:30 so I decide to book daycare time with Robin. Her knowledge on how to care for dogs/ puppy’s is incredible!!! Not only did she stay in constant communication with me about my puppy but, she was also sends me adorable pictures and videos. Robin went the extra mile and is slowly teaching my puppy crate training along with potty training. She takes him out every hour or so for potty breaks and even allows him to run and play!! I hope if you decide to book with robin you will love her as much as I do! 100/10”
“Ariel was the best! Not only did she answer and accept my last minute request at 2:00 a.m. for the same day at 10:00 a.m. in MINUTES, when plans changed, and I asked for my 5 month old puppy to stay for an extra hour and a half, she was more than willing. She provided constant updates and photos throughout the day, and kept my boy entertained (he was exhausted that night- haha). She is truly a life saver. Thank you endlessly, Ariel. Truly! You're the best :)”
“Hunter was an absolute lifesaver! She was available last minute to watch my puppy and did an amazing job. She kept me updated with great communication throughout the stay, and I could tell my pup felt safe and happy with her—she was so excited to see her again the next day! Highly recommend!”
“My puppie seemed to have enjoyed her stay with Katie, Buddy and Bailey. She had a fun filled and was exhausted when she got home. Would use Katie again if the need arises. Thanks a ton Katie.”
“As always Laura does an excellent job with our girl, she's always so happy to go in the mornings and is a happy puppy when we pick her up in the afternoon. She gets plenty of exercise and Laura gets plenty of entertainment out of her.”
About: I have had many animals throughout my life. I have also cared for friends’ animals when they go out of town. Your fur babies will be well cared for with me! I am a stay at home mom to teenage boys, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am home all day most every day, so you can rest assured your pet is getting one on one attention every day of their stay! I have a fenced yard and a 9-pen boarding facility at my home. Each pen has access to a private, fenced potty area and your dog can either participate in group play or have private one-on-one play if they are more shy.
“I truly appreciate Timothy for taking care of Quincy, especially on such short notice. He was responsive to all of my questions and made the process easy. I did receive one photo during Quincy’s stay, and I would have loved to get a few more updates, but overall I have no complaints. Thank you for caring for Quincy!”
“Traci, Jason and family were wonderful put sitters. Lily loves a yard, stimulation, and kindness. She enjoyed all three while staying in their home. I would highly recommend this sitter to other Rover patrons. Heather Wooten”
“Flor did an excellent job communicating before and during Sabi’s visit! We were in from out of state and Flor accommodated our needs with little notice - greatly appreciated her flexibility for us!”
“We Highly Recommend Heidi! Our dogs love her and get excited when we tell them they are going to Heidi's. She treats them as they are her own and provides excellent care. We receive regular updates and photos via text. They get lots of play time and love time! Whether you live on the island or you come to vacation on the island and need someone to care for your dogs do not hesitate to give Heidi a call. She is worth every penny because we know we can feel comfortable during our time away when Heidi is caring for our sweet babies.”
About: I went to college for biology and studied Zoology and also went to vet tech college and know about a lot of different types of animals. I worked at Petsmart for 3 years and was the second in command in the pet care department which was taking care of fish, reptiles, birds, and small animals like rats, etc. I had to medicate sick animals and clean cages and tanks every day. I have owned many snakes, lizards, small animals and also birds, but dogs are my love! I love all shapes and sizes of doggies! I'm not scared of any dogs and I work well with them all. I actually specialize in larger dogs that are harder to find boarding for. All dogs make me happy with their unconditional love. I will treat your babies like they are my own. I just have a sweet spot for dogs! And will welcome them into my home! And follow any special instructions I need too. I am a free lance photographer and stay at home almost constantly so can give your fur babies all my attention! Dogs are very important to me and I love having them around and giving them attention and keeping them safe and entertained. I live in a rather large spacious rv/trailer. We have a huge yard with lots of trees and space to run and play. We have a gate but we have not built a fence yet so i usually use leash at all times unless your dog is trained not to run off. We are fixing up our living room area so a little under construction but nothing that could hurt any doggies. Me and my fiance both are home all day and night so we can give plenty of our attention to your babies and take good care of them. I walk them in our big yard every few hours and follow any instructions owners give me about their babies routine and how to take care of them.
About: I have always had pets for the length of there lives. I've trained horses for the races to training hunting dogs for the hunt . The dogs and cats I've owned have all been kept inside safe and sound. No matter what pet it was you can be sure I spoiled them daily. I work from home and can take the proper breaks for play time and restroom breaks .1on 1 time will be no issue to give proper attention. I have a fenced yard to play in and romp around . A nice comfortable area in home to relax, enjoy a meal or sit on couch and watch tv.
“Jennifer and her mom are wonderful! My dog has separation anxiety and they made him (and us) feel at ease! He was well cared! I would highly recommend them and will book with them again next time we are in Galveston!”
About: I’ve been around animals for over 20 years! I am a trainer and owner of Dreams come true dog training.

All pets are loved and cared for like they’re my own. I do offer pick up and drop off services I never leave pets unattended outside since I know dogs can jump and find their way out of fences. All dogs will wear a collar and leash at all times on walks. Making sure dog stays cool and doesn’t over heat. All pets will be kenneled when left unattended for safety purposes.
About: Need an extra dog mom? I'm your gal! With over 12 years of experience watching over others animals, I've done and seen almost all of it. (Though, there are some things that still surprise me every now and again!) Big or small, I've cared for them all! I do drop in visits, walking, baths, nail trims, and in home boarding for dogs 50lbs or less. Not that I don't love gentle giants, they just take up a lot of space! I also have two sisters who are vet techs so if I need them for any reason they are on stand by. Anyways, if you're in need of an extra hand during the day or an overnight stay, please reach out! I'm home all day every day so my schedule is pretty open. If I'm doing drop in visits I prefer going around noon but if I need too, i will make exceptions and go earlier or later depending on what my pet parents need. When doing overnight boarding I make sure everyone is fed, watered, and comfortable. For dogs, I make sure they have plenty of opportunities to go on walks and go potty. I have a fenced in yard where they can roam freely for outside time (supervised of course) When doing inhome visits, I pretty much implement the same care making sure to follow instructions left by the pet parents if applicable.

Your pup will get plenty of attention, playtime, snuggles throughout the day. I can easily accommodate to their feeding schedule, potty breaks, walks and daily routine to make them feel more comfortable.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Smith Point
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 387 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Smith Point. 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 Smith Point 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 387 sitters in Smith Point, 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.
