About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, I am comfortable handling animals of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Throughout my life, I have cared for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, small animals and more. This diverse experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each animal’s unique needs and behaviors. Whether your dog loves long adventures, leisurely strolls, playtime, or simply some extra companionship during the day, I provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual personality. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same compassion, respect, and attention I give my own. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. 🐾 I am an entrepreneur and home schooling mama. I spend most of my time outdoors on my quiet, humble 10 acre property, with all my animals. I mostly work from home and sometimes in and out of the house for work calls. I have a beautiful, large fenced in deck that overlooks our property canyon. Additionally, I have a chain link dog run right off the deck. I regularly exercise my pups around the property as well. My personal dogs (3 Dachshunds and a Golden Retriever) spend most of the day outside playing on the deck and sun bathing. They have access to clean water at all times. I generally crate the smaller dogs at night. My cat prefers my daughter’s bedroom, so he’s rarely seen. I am happy to accommodate whatever needs and requests you have for your pet.
“Excellent communication and wonderful sitters! Flexible with my appointment and very attentive to Minerva's wants! Will definitely be using in the future.”
About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It just comes naturally to me. Today I share my home with Arya, my 5-year-old Shorkie, two little kids, and a fully fenced yard where dogs run free and feel at home. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here — they’ll be loved. I work from home, so your pup has my attention throughout the day. I’m available all day with occasional short outings for my kids’ activities Your dog is treated like family from the moment they arrive. Arya and your pup will have a fully fenced yard to roam and play freely. I provide regular updates and photos throughout the day so you always know how your fur baby is doing. Every dog settles in at their own pace and I make sure they feel safe and comfortable in our home.
“Tristan is fantastic! She is attentive and always supervising. She provided me great feedback on how my pup was doing. She has even taught me about dog body language and communication through the videos she sent. I highly recommend Tristan!”

“Swetha and Venkateswaran were great to say the least! As someone who is very detail oriented, I really appreciated the process and communication that they outlined. Would highly recommend having your pup stay with them. Thank you, Swetha and Venkateswaran!”
“She was very kind and accommodating with both pick up and drop off. She also gave very good photos texted to us during our pup's stay that me and my wife loved. I wish I could rate her higher I would definitely be using her services again the next time I need my pup looked after.”
“If you're scrolling & not sure who to choose...look no further. Leilani is the only pet sitter you need. An exceptional sitter who goes above and beyond. Her love for animals was obvious from the moment I contacted her. She treated my pet with so much care, patience, and genuine affection. She is reliable, attentive, and clearly passionate about animals. I received thoughtful updates, and my pet was calm, comfortable, and well‑cared‑for when I picked her up. A true professional with a big heart. Mario”
“Wonderful family! Our goldendoodle was comfortable and had a great time. They were very flexible with our plans and made it easy for us on our trip to Austin! Thanks so much!”
“Gunja was absolutely wonderful with Churro! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her. She was caring, attentive, and treated Churro like he was her own. We also loved that he had Milo around for company. They got along so well! 🐶 Gunja kept us updated throughout his stay and sent us pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Churro was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with him and would absolutely leave Churro with Gunja and Milo again. Highly recommend!”
About: As a life long dog owner myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe and protected environment for your pet along with exercise and attention. I have a flexible schedule and can adapt my availability to your specific needs whether you are taking an extended vacation or just an overnight stay. I've been caring for pets for many years and understand how important routine is. I am available to stay in your home to maintain that routine or provide drop in service.
About: Hi! I’m Ashley, the owner and head trainer at Ashley’s K9 Training. Dogs are truly my life and passion. I run a home-based training and boarding small business on our property in Bertram, Texas. I specialize in behavior modification, obedience, puppy development, and service dog training, so caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs is something I do every single day. Dogs staying with me aren’t just kenneled and rotated like traditional boarding facilities. They’re part of a home environment where they receive enrichment, outdoor time, supervised safe play (when appropriate), and plenty of attention throughout the day. I focus heavily on safe, calm energy and good manners so dogs feel comfortable, relaxed, and happy while they’re here. I’ve worked with everything from young puppies to reactive dogs, high-drive working breeds, and service dog prospects. Because of my training background, I’m also very comfortable managing dogs that need a little extra structure or guidance. Outside of training/boarding, I’m a mom to a sweet little girl and we’re a big animal loving family. Our home is full of Australian Shepherds, foster dogs, horses, and plenty of time spent outside. We spend most of our days outdoors with the animals playing in the yard and soaking up fresh air. Animals have always been a huge part of our lives, and we love welcoming new dogs into our home. My goal is always to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment where your dog can feel right at home. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I own a full service dog training small business that offers play days, day training, boarding, board and training, private one-on-one training sessions. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly as it is my full time job. Pets are under 24 hr supervision. The property is completely fenced. Dogs will receive proper mental and physical exercise throughout the day (based on their breed, age, energy level, etc.). I do crate all dogs for decompression time throughout the day and for sleeping time. Dogs will be allowed to socialize and play with other animals on the property unless otherwise specified or showing reactivity or aggression. We will sent pics/videos if requested during their stay with us.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Smithwick
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,359 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Smithwick. 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 Smithwick 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 1,359 sitters in Smithwick, 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.
