About: I have experience with dogs from since I was a kid. I see them as my own child. I have been through all their stages, puppy, adult and senior. I have a pup of our own at home. He is completely trained and vaccinated! I work from home all day, so the pups would have someone home all the time! Monday through Sunday works for me. I also work just 10 minutes away, so I can drop in whenever! I can care for your pets in our secure, fully fenced home where they’re treated like part of the family. Every guest enjoys a clean, comfortable space with plenty of room to play, consistent feeding schedules using the food you provide, fresh water at all times, and regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime suited to their energy level. They’ll have cozy sleeping arrangements and all the affection they could ask for, and because I limit the number of pets I host at a time, your furry friend always gets the individual attention they deserve. I will also send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Tommie and Jeffery were amazing! They took great care of our two dogs, Max and Stella and sent plenty of pictures so we knew they were doing okay. I would highly recommend them as your dog sitter!!”
“Charley is very accommodating with my long work hours! My dog adores him and is always excited when we arrive for drop off!! He is reliable and provides great care for my dog!”
“As a psychiatrist and devoted dog dad to two Nederlandse Kooikerhondjes—a relatively rare breed—finding someone qualified and experienced enough to care for my dogs while I was away at a medical conference was not something I took lightly. My dogs are my absolute world and their unique needs and high energy levels require someone who is truly attentive, active, and dedicated. Mandy exceeded every expectation I had. My pups stayed with her and she maintained their routines flawlessly. She kept up with their high energy demands without missing a beat. The abundance of photos and updates she sent throughout the week were so reassuring—I could clearly see my girls were happy, well exercised, and completely at ease in her care. The long walks she took them on daily were exactly what they needed and I could tell they absolutely loved every minute with her. As someone who professionally understands the importance of trust and reliability, I can say with complete confidence that Mandy embodies both. If you are looking for a sitter who will treat your dogs with the same love and dedication you would, she is simply the best. We will absolutely be booking with Mandy again without hesitation!" — Dr. Khan | Psychiatrist & Proud Dad to Two Nederlandse Kooikerhondjes 🐾❤️”

“Jessica was very welcoming and friendly to Brody upon dropping him off as this was his first time with a sitter. She kept me updated often and sent pictures. Brody will definitely be visiting her again in the near future.”
“Darius was a god sent. I was visiting Houston from Dallas with my husband and puppy. I stayed at a dog friendly hotel but even going for breakfast made my puppy very anxious alone in the room we decided to use over for the first time and I urgently contacted Darius. He was very prompt to respond and accommodated everything. He was very vigilant for for example I feed my dog fresh food, which I forgot to tell him, but he had already put the food in the fridge. He has a very sweet and loving puppy, and I could visibly see mylo happy. If I ever returned to Houston, Darius is my guy. Milo has never been around strangers, but he was extremely comfortable with Darius. He also sent updates every so often and was prompted to answer anything I asked. I don’t think twice.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Sunny Side on Rover is $26.75 per day (as of July 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 Sunny Side 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 2,399 sitters in Sunny Side, 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.
