Dorothy is great! Zoey is a timid, slightly anxious pup, but looked right at home during her first day of doggy daycare. She had a blast playing and lounging with the other pups. Dorothy is patient and very caring, and it shows. I know Zoey looks forward to going back!

Noelle had a blast at Fuzzy Faces! She doesn't spend much time with other animals (other than backyard chickens), so we love that she gets the opportunity here to play with other friendly pets of all sizes. She definitely plans on coming back!

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.

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 been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was very young. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me with their fur babies. I'm currently taking care of my home and family. I have plenty of time to love on your fur babies. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I have a fenced yard and one friendly pup and a homeschooled daughter to keep your fur babies company. I do have the ability to crate your fur baby if requested or necessary.

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

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 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.

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! I also work full-time from home, so your pup won’t be left alone and will get plenty of care, playtime, and snuggles throughout the day. What really sets me apart is that we live a low-tox lifestyle—so my home is a clean, pet-safe space free of harsh chemicals and full of love. Your dog will be treated like family here, surrounded by sweet kids, fresh air, and a relaxed, playful environment. 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! I only offer pet care in our home, where your pup will be treated like family. We have a clean, low-tox, pet-safe environment with plenty of space to relax and play. I work from home full-time, so your dog will get constant love and attention throughout the day. Our mini schnauzer, Bogey, is very relaxed and loves being around other dogs—he’s the perfect companion for visiting pups! Safety and trust are top priorities, and we do everything we can to make your dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had cats for the past 7 years. My home is currently filled with 7 animals of my own—2 dogs and 5 cats! They’re definitely my favorite part of home life (other than my husband, of course lol). I regularly care for the pets of my family and friends, including my brother-in-law’s dog, who I watch very frequently, as well as my family’s 2 dogs and cat. I also occasionally care for a close friend’s dog. One of my longer pet-sitting experiences was caring for my cousin’s dog for 3 months while she recovered from a broken leg. We are an extremely pet-friendly household and genuinely love having animals around. When friends come over, we’re always telling them to bring their pets! My schedule is currently completely open, and as an at-home wife, I’m able to be home with your pets for the majority of the day most days. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles so your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and their individual personalities and routines. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Our home is a very pet-friendly and welcoming environment, and our own pets are a huge part of our everyday life. We currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats, so we’re very comfortable with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Because I’m an at-home wife, I’m home the majority of the day and can provide frequent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. We also live right next to a park and creek, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for pets who enjoy exploring. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me. I also understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand and make sure we have a plan that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. For pets who need or are more comfortable with their own separate space, we also run available to set up kennel(s). I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable environment. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, supervised, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me.

About: Hello!! My names Tatum I’ve taken care of pets my whole life, my best friend when i was born was a weenie dawg, but i’ve had 4 dogs total in my life. I currently have 3 cuddly cats and a 1yr old, big ol handsome lab! I can do day or overnight sitting in my own apartment, I know there’s no straight access to a backyard :(( but i take my dog to the apartments dog park twice a day for 30-90mins. My apartment also has a nice big field right outside my door that i take them to go potty as many times needed! I live with my fiance and we work opposite shifts so someone is always awake! I don’t have any experience with shot medications but i sure know how to hide a pill in some chicken or cheese! We have plenty of toys to play with and my lab LOVES making new friends, he always has a ton of energy to keep your furr baby busy! If your dog needs to be crated or isn’t crate trained i can accommodate that, i have big crate here or you’re welcome to bring your own. Im available for overnight boarding/day sitting on the weekends (Fri@4:00pm - Sun@11:00pm) I work full time(M-F) 2 minutes away from my apartment and can go home on breaks. And they wouldn’t mind if i needed to leave for 10 minutes for a potty break. So if you absolutely need me to watch on a weekday i can make accommodations. My fiance will be home during the day since he works an opposite shift but probably asleep. I also have a camera in the living room. We can crate if crate trained if you feel more comfortable with that! My puppy had a bad chewing habit when he was little, so we only keep the floors clean (except for toys of course) I can easily crate your dog if needed. Dogs are allowed on furniture for maximum cuddles :)

J&T are terrific! They understood my pet's personality the first time they met him. They also put me and my husband at ease about leaving our pet there for several hours twice a week. My dog never really has been around other dogs on a regular basis, so we were a little nervous about his behavior but he was fine and I believe J&T had a lot to do with that. We look forward to having our pet stay with them in the future ❤️❤️❤️

About: I've worked with different breeds of dogs from rottweilers to english bulldogs. I can pick up on dog behavior really well and follow thier schedule. I work from home so I can make my time available for your fur baby from twelve o'clock to six o'clock in the late afternoon I have a medium sized fenced in yard. There is two dog park near by. I have a dog to give your dog a playmate. I work part-time, so I have plenty of free time to give your pup attention throughout the day. I’m home a lot, which means extra walks, playtime, and lots of company for dogs who don’t like being alone. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2pm, and I’m really flexible with scheduling if your dog needs a little extra time or care. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I keep a calm, clean environment and follow whatever routine your dog is used to—feeding times, walks, crate time, everything. I’m patient with shy or anxious pups and gentle with seniors. I’m also comfortable crating if needed, giving space when dogs need it, and making sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for the whole time.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - The Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 271 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 271 sitters in The Grove, 82% 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.
