“We had a wonderful experience with Jody! She was amazing and provided reliable care! She took care of Daisy as if she were her own. We highly recommend her; even though we booked the same day with very late notice, she was incredibly communicative and sent us frequent updates and photos. We couldn't be happier! ❤️🐾”
About: Hi! I’m Natalie, a reliable, experienced pet sitter who treats your dogs like my own. I’ve worked with all types of dogs, including high-energy, anxious, and large breeds (I personally have experience with husky/shepherd types). I offer drop-ins, walks, and in-home care where your dogs stay comfortable in their routine. I’m very attentive to behavior, feeding schedules, and exercise needs. You’ll get consistent updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets, and I take that seriously. I have a flexible schedule and prioritize making sure pets get consistent care and attention. I’m available for drop-ins and walks daily, with availability in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings. Weekends are open for boarding or extended care. I plan my day around the pets I’m caring for to ensure they get proper exercise, playtime, and routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, structured environment and closely follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any specific instructions. I have experience reading dog behavior and keeping interactions safe and positive. I can separate pets if needed and ensure a clean, secure space at all times. You’ll also get updates and photos so you feel confident while you’re away.
“Penny absolutely loved being in Amber's little haven. She kept me up to date, and even took pictures to keep me updated on all the fun Penny was up to! Penny was extremely tired after a full day of play, and I know she will be excited when I start taking her on a weekly basis. So grateful to have found Amber. If you're looking for a place for your dog to socialize instead of being couped up all day, Amber is the best choice!”
“Sabrina did a great job taking care of Prince. Everything went smoothly, and my dog was well looked after and comfortable. Communication was clear, and I appreciated knowing my dog was in good hands. I’d definitely be happy to use her again and would recommend Sabrina to others!”

“Yalda was amazing from the start. She responded quickly to my booking request. Since I have never used this service before nor have I left my dog with a person I didn't know, it felt stressful at first but Yalda made me feel comfortable. She is quick to answer questions so communicating with her was easy. Plus, she sent pictures while she was taking care of my dog several times throughout. It was great to see her kids playing with my Ellie and her around her dog as well. If you need someone close to northwest San Antonio, the Rim, Fair Oaks, or Boerne area feel confident in having Yalda take care of your pet. She is very friendly and wonderful! I will happily use her services again. I had such a positive experience. Wow!”
About: I have 30+ years of pet care experience not only with my own pets, but also friends & family that I have taken care of. I am very friendly to all animals and know how to interact with the most timid or aggressive dogs. When I meet a new animal, owners tell me that I must have a sixth sense because the animals never react so well to anyone. I tell the owners that they must know I am a dog lover and enjoy being with animals more than I do people. I work from home so will be with your furry child all day. I have two Black Labs of my own that love everyone! References available upon request.
“Hui is great with Hayze. He is excited to go over and play each day and comes home tuckered out from all of the days events. Hui communicates throughout the day sending videos and pictures, letting me know he is doing well. Thank you Hui!”
About: I have taken care of horses, cats, dogs, chickens and many other animals over the last several years. I love animals more than people (most of the time 😉) and am very reliable. I work from home, so I’m able to watch your fur babies all day and ensure they have potty breaks, and get all the love the need. I do my very best to make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as when you’re there. If they’re in my home, or I do home visits, I will ensure that the same training is maintained.
About: Have 20+ years of experience taking care of dogs young and old, cats, chickens, hamsters, chinchillas, fish, ducks, etc. Can provide basic training for young dogs and treat achy bones on senior dogs with red light therapy. My schedule is pretty flexible during the entire week so your fur baby will be able to experience the love and care they need. This can be by stopping by your residence to take care of them (open for all pets) and for dogs having doggy day camp or vacationing at my home. My property is fully fenced in. I have a doggie door where your pup can go in and out of the house as they please. Your fur baby will have my fur babies to play with during their stay. If you'd prefer for your pet to be crated at particular times accommodations can be made. If I am visiting your home to check in on your pet, please provide me the details on what you would like me to focus on the most while with your pet. Otherwise, I will spend time bonding with them through play, cuddles, and food.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years, including my own two pups, Jack and Coco, who taught me just how important love, patience, and consistency are in pet care. I’m now excited to extend that same level of care to other pets in my community. I’ve also helped family and friends by caring for their pets while they’re away on vacation or business, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their owner’s absence. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them like my own and make sure they’re happy and well cared for while you’re away. I work completely remote from home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to play and care for your pets. I'm also available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 8 AM. I feel incredibly fortunate to have a spacious and lovely home with a generous open backyard that's fully fenced. Your furry friend will have the convenience of a built-in doggy door for easy access anytime. I also have a kennel available for small to medium dogs if needed. The property is in a delightful subdivision with safe sidewalks, perfect for taking walks with your pup. Additionally, I have two wonderful dogs that are trained and enjoy playing, so if your dogs would like some company, they will have plenty of fun together. Both of my dogs are neutered and they are 8 and 10 years old.
“Lovely home and sitter is very attentive. She provided pictures, updates, and responded to my messages in a timely manner. I would definitely bring my fur babies to her again and I’d highly recommend anyone looking for a sitter to book her!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all different sizes, ages, energy levels, and personalities. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious pets, high-energy dogs, and pets who need a little extra patience while warming up to someone new. I also have experience volunteering with shelter and foster dogs, which has taught me how important it is to pay attention to body language and let each animal adjust at their own pace. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, enrichment, and following detailed care instructions. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always send plenty of photos and updates while they’re in my care! I’m currently a college student with a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide consistent and attentive pet care throughout the week. I plan my schedule around my bookings so I have time for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. I know how important it is for pets to stay on their normal routine while their owners are away, so I do my best to keep their days as familiar and stress-free as possible. I’m dependable with scheduled visits and will always communicate with you if anything comes up. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow all care instructions and take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and needs. I’m patient with nervous or shy pets and pay close attention to body language so I can make sure they feel comfortable with me. I keep their space clean, provide appropriate playtime and bathroom breaks, and send regular photos and updates so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I’m also happy to accommodate specific routines or preferences whenever possible.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and grew up in a home where my parents bred dogs, so I have experience caring for puppies as well as small and large breeds. I’m very familiar with feeding schedules, basic training, and giving dogs the attention and care they need at every stage. I currently have a puppy of my own, so I’m very hands-on with daily care, routines, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I work from home, which allows me to be present throughout the day and give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and love. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me 🤍 Pet care is my full-time job, so I’m available anytime to give your pet consistent attention, supervision, and love throughout the day and night :) I offer pet care both in my home and in my client’s home, depending on what works best for you and your pet. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with constant supervision since pet sitting is my full time job. I also have a room dedicated fully to pet sitting with toys, cat tree, dog beds, ball pit and lots of treats and enrichment activities. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Welfare
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 588 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Welfare. 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 Welfare 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 588 sitters in Welfare, 89% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
