“Dorothy was great! She helped provide daycare for my dog. I was impressed! She was very responsive from the beginning of my interactions with her. She provided me an immediate update on how my dog was doing. She also sent plenty of pictures during his time with her! 10/10 would recommend her services!”
About: I’ve always had many different pets all throughout my life from reptiles and cats to furry K-9’s. Training dogs and teaching them new tricks are a hobby of mine so if you’re having trouble with certain things I’ll be happy to provide my best effort in teaching your furry friend something new! I've spent a lot of time volunteering at the humane society while Stationed in Hawaii so I’m well versed in working with animals from all walks of life. Tuesday-Thursday I work early mornings however my wife is also a animal Lover as well and can provide all the care that I can. After 2pm Tuesday-Thursday and any day on weekends and Monday my schedule is fully available! I have a nice big home for your furry friends to roam and play as well as a fenced in backyard for out door adventures.
About: I've always had multiple animals and will love your fur baby or babies like my own. I have base acces, so that won't be a problem. I'm currently a stay at home mom with a 5 year old who loves to help if it is safe for him to do so. I have a fenced in backyard and a silly miniature schnauzer who loves making new friends. I also have a dependable car if in-home animal sitting if that is what you are more comfortable with.
“Whitney took great care of Foster. Her household of people and pets were welcoming and Foster ran with the pack. He's tired and smiling! I would bring him here again and highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Krysta and her family were great with my pups. They seemed to have had a good time there and didn’t seem to want to go home with me. I would recommend her and will book with her again.”
About: I have plenty of experience with puppies still in training, crate trained, non trained, energetic I can definitely handle ! I’m also good with elderly or dogs pregnancies. I am able to provide pee breaks as often as needed, attention at all times, love and support. I wash each pets bowl after use, ensure they are supported the entire process. I can offer full time watching in my home, wooden floors so accidents are okay ! I only clean with pet safe products. I play with them to get their attention in and take them on walks at least once a day !im the only person in house and a fully fenced back yard. Plenty of space to run outside when needed but they will be inside if not playing or using bathroom breaks
About: I’ve taken care of many pets from small dogs to big dogs. My sister works in the vet field and has came home with a million rescue dogs to take care. I learned how each dog/ breed is unique and that each provides different care which is important. I’m currently a SAHM! So I give pets a lot of playtime. Try to take them on daily walks around 6 with the family :) I have a fenced backyard so dogs can go out and enjoy themselves. Since I have a kid, everything in my home is child proof, so they will both be safe from getting hurt
“Great experience. I love and Appreciate the great communication and updates through the day on my Fur baby socializing and playing! This is very important to me. Thank you :)Def recommend!”
“Alyssa has been absolutely amazing with our puppy. I loved getting pictures and messages during the day to see how she was doing. It made me feel so much better knowing she was being well taken care of and loved while we were at work. We will continue to books with Alyssa and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a home that lots of love and attention. Thank you Alyssa!”
“Jaeger had a good time with Reagan. He came home happy but tired. He must have gotten plenty of exercise because it takes a great deal to wear him out. We will definitely be back. Reagan was informative, kind and kept us up to date on how Jaeger was doing.”
“Brook took care of my dog and she treated her as if she were her own. She actually cares for the dogs. She communicated with me throughout the day and even sent me photos. I loved every bit of the experience. I highly recommend her and I will definitely be booking again!”
About: Hey there! My name is Gabby and live out in McGregor Tx. Just down the highway from Woodway. My daycare services are perfect for dogs that are not great in a large dog setting and need more personal one to one setting in which they can relax and enjoy their day away from their owners without all the pressure and stress of a multi dog play setting. I have a private backyard with access to long country walks and private walking trails. You can expect your dog to receive a lunch, walk, play time and tons of cuddles upon every stay. Boarders recieve Breakfast and Dinner (owner provided) as well as a snack. I offer regular dog walks and drop ins for the dogs unable to come over personally or who may not be the best in a group. Doggy walks will always be a minimum mile (unless specified otherwise by the owner) and Drop-ins will include poop cleanups, play time and light housework if desired. I can also offer some quick obedience lessons if desired which just includes the basic doggy mind push-ups, sit, down, stay, come repeated a few times. I use positive reinforcement with treats and verbal cues. Please let me know if your dog has any medical requirements, a special diet or any allergies. I'm able to administer any medications as needed. Also am able to do basic grooming (nails, bathing, genital area clean up, matts). As well as light housework (dishes, laundry, ect.) I'm currently a full time pet mama so my days are spent caring for my own little flock of animals. I currently have my own dog I've trained to be a successful hunting dog as well as fancy chickens that live in the coop in the back. I also have a wide variety of tanked pets including a Leopard Gecko, Texas Rat Snake, Hamster and Betta fish so exotic pet care is also something I can provide for any herp and aquarium owners out there thinking about how they could manage a vacation. I wake up around 5am everyday to walk my Terrier cross and let him stretch his legs first thing. We walk at least a mile before I come home and check on my Chickens, Leopard Gecko, Hamster and Snake. I feed and clean water dishes. Then go and clean the fish tank and use the water to water the garden.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life! My neighbors, friends, & family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies while they leave for vacation or whatever it may be. I’m very flexible as far as drop ins! I can come early in the morning or late at night, whichever you prefer. I can come as many times a day as needed. I rescue dogs & cats! They always seem to find me one way or another. At this time I currently have 5 dogs & 8 cats (inside & outside cats), and a rabbit. Really wanting a prairie dog but still undecided.

About: While I’ve been around dogs for over 10 years, most of my hands-on care experience comes from being a full-time mama—which means I’m no stranger to routines, messes, or giving lots of love and attention!

Whether they need a walk, a nap buddy, or a consistent routine, I’ve got it covered—just like I do for my own little crew. I work full-time from home, so I’m able to be with your pup all day. We’re a very active family that loves spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of attention, fresh air, and playtime!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - The Grove
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 276 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across The Grove. 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 Grove 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 276 sitters in The Grove, 83% 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.
