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.

“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”

About: Hello, my name is Lynn P. I am a mother with 2 dogs. I have a 7-year-old jack Russell terrier his name is Max. And I also have a 3-year-old Doberman name is Apollo. They're both very calm and loved and well behaved and loves to meet new friends to hang out with. Apollo and Max sure knows how to welcome new dogs in the house they're both very gentle and playful at the same time. I work from home most of my time through the week. So, they will get lots of attention throughout the days. I usually take the boys out 3x a day to stretch out their legs and burn off some energy. Don't worry your dogs will get the same love as my own dogs. I will care for your pets and make sure they are comfortable and safe. They will get more attention than my own dog probably. Just kidding. Not only you will gain my trust with your family dog, but your dog will also make new friends. Currently working from home most of the time of the week. I am open for new guest to join the club. I have two dogs myself and my daughter loves keeping them entertain. I have a balcony where they can go out to sunbathe both my dogs love doing that during the afternoon. But they don’t use it to pee or poop it’s only for relaxing if they want fresh air. I also take the boys out in the morning and afternoon and one last walk before bedtime. My boys get 2 meals a day along with their vitamins. And after a nice walk they will be reward for dog dental treat.
About: Hello! I am a retired pet lover with a lifetime of experience raising and caring for dogs. Last year, my beloved dog passed away, leaving our home a bit too quiet. While I am not ready to adopt a new dog of my own just yet, I have an abundance of love, time, and attention that I would absolutely love to dedicate to your furry family member. Because I am retired, your dog will never be left alone for long stretches. My schedule revolves entirely around making sure they feel safe, secure, and loved. An Only Child Experience: We currently have no other pets in our home. Your dog will receive 100% of my undivided attention, care, and affection. Full-Time Companionship: I have plenty of free time to maintain your dog's exact routine—whether that means regular potty breaks, leisurely neighborhood walks, or just keeping them company on the couch. Experienced & Intuitive: Having loved and cared for dogs for decades, I understand their body language, their unique quirks, and how much they miss you when you're away. Because I am retired and my home is currently pet-free, pet care doesn't just fit into my routine—it becomes my routine. My schedule is incredibly flexible, meaning your dog will rarely, if ever, be left alone. A typical day with me includes morning and evening neighborhood walks, frequent backyard potty breaks, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. Because I am home most of the time, I can easily adapt to your dog’s specific feeding, medication, and nap schedules. Your pup will be a central part of my daily life, receiving full-time love and supervision In my home, your dog’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. Safety First: Since I do not have a fenced yard, your dog will always be securely leashed for all outdoor potty breaks and neighborhood walks. I never take risks with safety, and your pup will be under my direct supervision every time we step outside. A Comfortable Environment: Inside, my home is a quiet, peaceful, and pet-safe haven with no other resident animals to cause stress. Your dog will have full access to comfortable spots to rest right next to me, whether they prefer the couch, a cozy dog bed, or curling up in a quiet corner. Following Your Rules: I strictly follow whatever house rules you have established at home. If they are allowed on the furniture, they are welcome on mine. If they have specific feeding times, crate preferences, or medication needs, I adhere to them precisely to ensure their transition to my home is completely seamless.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Smithwick
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,342 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 1,342 sitters in Smithwick, 87% 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.
