“Nana and Scott were incredible with my older pup! They were flexible on drop-off and pick-up times, kept my dog well fed and active, and were just generally kind and caring. I will definitely be scheduling with them again soon!”
“Amazing job!! They took day-care of my baby and stayed home with her all day. They took her on walks and played with her as a fun family. Bliss was so excited to go back every day and I loved the comfort of knowing she was in good hands while I had to be away from her during the day.”
“Our Oliver's first day on April 29th 2026 at Celeste's house was just perfect! He loved playing with Celeste's cute & sweet fur baby Tula and the other sweet & another friendly Dachshund baby who Oliver spend the day with. Celeste is so caring, loving and patient and just wonderful! She sent us a lot of updates and so many cute & adorable pictures of Oliver and his sweetest fur baby friends. She took the time to make Oliver comfortable. Oliver had a blast at Celeste's with his new little friends. He had so much fun that he did not want to come home with us and wanted to go back with Celeste and her little fur babies who are Oliver's best friends now!! Celeste's profile says "Your fur babies are my priority." and she truly makes our fur babies her priority. We can see that she truly loves dogs and cares for them wholeheartedly. Celeste is such a sweet, considerate, loving, caring and kind person and we could see that in the way Oliver was wanting to go back with her. Oliver had so much amazing time and great fun after such a long time. Oliver cannot wait to go back to spend the day with Celeste and Tula and make more new friends!! Thank you to Celeste, thank you to your adorable & sweet Tula, thank you to Cesar and thank you also to the sweet & cute Dachshund baby for making Oliver feel so joyful & special!! Celeste is wonderful and provides just the best and excellent care! We are so happy that we found Celeste and booked a loving & happy day with Celeste for Oliver. Oliver went to Celeste's again on May 5th, 6th, 11th & 12th 2026 and had a blast with Celeste's adorable Tula! They both had lot of fun! As expected Oliver had a wonderful time at Celeste's and days full of happy & joyful time full of love & care for Oliver. We got so many cute and adorable pictures and updates on Oliver's days. We love to send Oliver to Celeste's care because we know it is excellent!! Celeste takes the time to check with you for every thing that matters for the little ones.

Thank you Celeste, Cesar and thank you sweet Tula! 🥰🥰🥰🌻🌻🌻”
“Tara is AMAZING!!! She took exceptional care of my furbaby. Elle Belly had the best time. She met a new bff, her first cat, and came home exhausted from playing all day. Tara sent me the cutest pictures and updates. I recommend her 100%.”
About: Our family loves dogs. I can take care of dogs that are up to 25 lbs. We like giving lots of love and attention to our furry guests and enjoy playing in the backyard with them. Our 7 year old dog Chess is the sweetest host and has the best time when we have doggie friends over to play with and run around. I work from home so I’m always there to give them attention and lots of belly scratches. In the afternoons your dog will experience a full house with three older children who love to play and cuddle with our furry friends. Being a dog “mommy” myself I understand how important it is to make sure our puppies are well taken care off while we are out of town. Not only taking care of their basic needs, but making sure they get extra love while their humans are away. I like documenting your doggie stay with pictures and videos, and send them to you every day. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry baby soon! I work from home, so I am always available to give our doggie guests extra belly rubs and make them feel loved and cared for. I work from home so I have the flexibility to pay extra attention to our doggie guests. Our backyard is fenced. We never open the front door to avoid the dogs to accidentally getting out. To get in out out of the house we go thought laundry room, close the door, then open the door that goes to the garage. We take care of one dog at a time (or 2 from the same family). I always separate the dogs during feeding time.
“My worries were gone after I met Marisa and James. I could just tell they are good people. I felt safe leaving my dog at their home. I knew when she was holding my dog. Thank you”
“Ryan was the first Rover I used for my 4 month old Golden Retriever- Harper. I knew from the moment we met that he would be a wonderful, engaged caregiver and my initial impressions were spot on. He sent pictures and updates throughout the day and the fact that he has his own 2 year old dog was added reassurance that he was well qualified to look after Harper. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for someone you can trust unequivocally to take very good care of your pet.”
“Sohee & Shelby were the best! I left my dog with them for day care and even though it was for a very short period of time, they took care of my Lily with so much love! They sent us so many pictures of her playing, eating, sleeping and everything! I will definitely confidently leave Lily with them again in the future!”
“It was our dog’s first daycare experience, and we are beyond thankful for Angela’s great care. With a 5 pound dog, safety is top of mind for us and Angela was able to give us the peace of mind. We also really appreciated how kind and patient Angela was. We very much look forward to our next visit!”
“Philip and his wife took such great care of my fur baby! They sent me photos throughout the day which I loved. Highly recommend and defiantly will be using them to to dog sit again.”
About: I love animals and I am a frequent traveler, so I understand the need to have someone that you trust, watch your animals while away. I have a very flexible schedule, and would love to help I am a stay-at-home mom with older children, so I have a very open schedule. I am also very flexible on time of day and frequency of visits. I have a lot of free time now and just looking for something happy to fill my day. I am a dog parent, and I will do anything I can help. I will feed, walk, stay a while, and/or whatever else is needed.
“Christine was amazing! She really cares for the safety of all dogs that stay with her and I felt comfortable allowing my chi to stay with her and her family while I was away from work ?”
About: I provide reliable care for dogs with a focus on consistency, safety, and attention to their routine. Working from home allows me to give regular check-ins, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I’m comfortable with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels and aim to follow their established routine as closely as possible to keep them settled and comfortable. My goal is to provide steady, responsible care so you can feel confident while you’re away. Since I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. I’m able to step away from my work for walks, feedings, playtime, or check-ins without rushing, so pets don’t feel ignored or on a strict timer. On a daily basis, I naturally build in time for morning walks or drop-ins, mid-day check-ins, and evening care depending on the pet’s needs. I’m already used to maintaining routines, so I make sure feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication (if needed) stay consistent. Weekly, I’m able to accommodate recurring care or longer stays because I’m home-based and not tied to a strict office schedule. This allows me to be present, responsive, and fully attentive to each pet I care for. I care for pets in my home by keeping a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or dietary needs. Pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and affection throughout the day since I work from home and am able to be present with them. My goal is to make sure each pet feels at home, stays on routine, and is well cared for while you’re away.
“Mr Beethovan loved Mrs Maria. My Husband and I knew she was going to be our sitter the first day we meet her. She is very professional and highly recommended. The first visit was suppose to be only four hours but turned out to be six hours. After receiving pictures of Beethovan enjoying her so much we extended it another two hours on the first day. This is Beethovan first time being away from us and loved her unconditionally. He loved her so that I don’t think he was ready to come home. She sends pictures and text you in a timely manner with updates”
About: My wife and I have hands on experience caring for dogs at every stage of life. We grew up with family dogs and now care for two of our own fur babies, raising Oliver from the puppy stage and providing attentive senior care including administering medication for Ellie, a rescue. Beyond our own pets, we’ve also cared for dogs belonging to family and friends, which has given us experience with different breeds, temperaments, and routines. We understand how important it is to keep pets feeling safe, loved, and on schedule while their owners are away. What sets us apart is our patience, reliability, and attention to detail. We will treat every dog like our own with care, consistency, and lots of love, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. We work from home full-time, allowing us to provide constant care, attention, and supervision. Weekends are relaxed at home, making pet care a natural part of our routine. While we don’t have our own yard, we live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s perfect for regular walks and outdoor time. At home, pets are supervised throughout the day since we work from home full-time. We follow each dog’s routine closely, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. We also have two friendly dogs, so we’re experienced with managing multiple pets and ensuring everyone feels comfortable and gets along. Our goal is to make pets feel secure, happy, and cared for just like they would with their own family.
The median cost per day for doggy day care in The Colony is $34

Ryan was the first Rover I used for my 4 month old Golden Retriever- Harper. I knew from the moment we met that he would be a wonderful, engaged caregiver and my initial impressions were spot on. He sent pictures and updates throughout the day and the fact that he has his own 2 year old dog was added reassurance that he was well qualified to look after Harper. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone looking for someone you can trust unequivocally to take very good care of your pet.
Allison was super awesome! Our poodle has a new friend, they got a long as if they knew each other for years. We are so thankful we found Allison and hope we can request her again. She truly was so understanding and made the experience great for all of us!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - The Colony
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in The Colony on Rover is $29.96 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of June 2026, there are 3,130 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across The Colony. 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 The Colony 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 3,130 sitters in The Colony, 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.
