“April and her husband are awesome !! She sent me a lot of photos of mocha and take care very welll! Mocha came all happy from April’s house and I will definitily book again 🥰!”
“Marie watched my 2 girls and was so great with them. My older girl was nervous at first and she made her feel comfortable and my girl eventually relaxed. They both had a great time! Marie sent some great pictures and videos and updated me regularly. I already have another stay in the books with Marie!”
“Sarah and her Family are great with Wally. She is super responsive, flexible with our schedules, and communicates and sends pictures during his visits. Best of all, Wally has a blast playing with everyone there and is often tired out by the end of the day ( a huge plus for our puppy). The only downside for us is that this is a smoking household, which for us, while not ideal, is acceptable given all the other benefits there are to having wally with such great people. We have wally with Sarah weekly and plan to continue his visits for a while to come.”

I also volunteer at least 4-6 days a month with my therapy dogs. I have an enclosed lanai with a pool, in case your pup likes to swim! I have two dogs to keep your baby company. We also have a private dog park in my development that is for residents only so your pup can get exercise and play time every day!

About: Hi! 🐾 I’m Lexus. My mom, Tiffany, and I are a mother-daughter pet-care team. While family and a love for animals are at the heart of what we do, we believe pet parents deserve more than simply finding someone who loves animals; that’s just the beginning. We are insured, bonded, Pet CPR & First Aid certified, proud members of Pet Sitters International (the world’s leading educational association and largest membership organization for professional pet sitters), and we take a professional approach to the pets entrusted to us. I grew up surrounded by animals and have experience in the dog-grooming industry, while my mom brings additional experience in animal care, safety, and behavior. We continue investing in education because understanding the animals we care for helps us provide safer, more thoughtful care. Professional Care With a Family Feel 💛 We take time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, preferences, and comfort level. Your pet is never just another reservation on our calendar. Our rates reflect the professional standards, education, safety, reliability, and individualized attention we bring to every booking. Because not all pet care is the same, and your pet deserves the difference. 🐾 Day Care & Boarding 🏡 We have a one-story home with a fenced backyard, two friendly small dogs, two cats, and a dedicated dog room for pups who prefer a quieter space. We never accept more than two guest dogs at a time, allowing us to provide more individualized attention in a calm environment. House Sitting & Drop-Ins 🐾 We maintain your pet’s routine, respect your home and privacy, and make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Meet & greets are required for all new clients because safety and trust always come first. Please read through remainder of profile for important information. We can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐶💕 Availability: Pet care is my full-time focus, allowing me to give your pup plenty of attention, walks, playtime, and individualized care throughout their stay. You can also expect regular communication, photos, and updates. Standard Stay vs. Constant Care Standard stays provide attentive, consistent care but are not 24/7 supervision. I may occasionally step out briefly for a nearby pet-care visit or personal errand, always planned around your pup’s routine and comfort. Dogs who cannot be left alone due to separation anxiety, medical needs, or other circumstances require Constant Care, offered at $250/day. This allows me to reserve my schedule exclusively for your pet and provide continuous supervision. Please disclose this need before booking so the rate can be adjusted accordingly. Start & End Times Arrival and departure times will fall within a 1 hour window. This helps me coordinate bookings and ensure every pet receives the attention they deserve with enough time for unexpected delays. Confirming Your Booking Per Rover policy, payment is required to confirm your reservation. Dates cannot be held until the booking is completed and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Pending requests may be archived 24 hours after the meet & greet if not confirmed, as they can affect availability for other families. Cancellations Cancellations made within 7 days of a confirmed stay or 14 days of a holiday stay are non-refundable. Because pet care is my full-time work and reserved dates often prevent me from accepting other families, I appreciate your understanding. These guidelines allow me to maintain a high standard of care while keeping scheduling fair and organized for everyone. 💛🐾 Safety and Trust: I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, but safety is about more than certifications. As a pet owner and animal lover myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care. During our meet & greet, I’ll ask plenty of questions about your pup: their personality, routine, quirks, and what makes them feel most comfortable. It also gives you the chance to get to know me and ask anything you’d like. My goal is for you to leave feeling confident that your pup will be cared for with the same patience, attention, and genuine affection I’d want for my own.
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. We got our first dog when I was 5 years old and have had them ever since. I've volunteered with local shelters and fostered many dogs. We recently lost the last of our 4 fur babies and would love to welcome yours into our home. I only take one dog at a time so I can ensure your pup gets the best care possible. Please note, there will be two young children in the house. We are very strict with manners towards animals and utilize dog gates to create separate spaces. I am a stay at home mom so I am never away from home for long. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate for different care needs. Your dog would not be left alone for more than 4 hours at a time. I have a fenced in back yard for potty breaks and playing. Pets are family in our home so they are welcome anywhere. We love walks around the neighborhood for all the sights and smells. Please note, there will be two young children in the house. We are very strict with manners towards animals and utilize dog gates to create separate spaces.
“They are the sweetest, kindest, most wonderful humans who took such great care of my pup (and me!) They truly feel like a gift from the universe, making an unusually hectic week completely okay. I couldn’t be more impressed and grateful and my dog couldn’t be happier.”
“Kayla was an amazing sitter! She was very accommodating and made sure Charlotte was comfortable and well taken care of. I could tell Charlotte was in great hands. I would definitely book with Kayla again!”
“Mya was a wonderful sitter. We had a meet and greet the day before, which was great even though it was just a short stay. She made Mia and I feel welcome and kept me updated throughout the day.”
About: To start, I've had a dog when I was younger, a beautiful and energetic shepherd-mix. I've also had parrots and cats too. I love, love animals! I personally believe every animal has a soul and is different and should be treated with respect. I've had several years of looking after and taking care dogs and cats. I've been apart of my high school's animal shelter and fostered and adopted kittens and puppies; also donated food and litter. I'm adept in reading and understanding cat and dog behavior and gestures. I'm easily able to know when the dog will need to use the restroom, is hunger and or thirsty, or wants to play. As for availability, I'm free any day of the week at any time of the day. I’ll keep you up to date on bookings via texts, photos, and videos. Cheers! Pet sitting and pet care is my primary form of income and my day-to-day schedule is very malleable, enabling me to accommodate to most booking requests! I like to keep a clean and tidy and secured space, so your home will be well cared for. You will return to your home just as you left it, if not better!
“I absolutely love her! She’s super reliable and understanding! I have never had any doubts about my dog’s safety with her. I would recommend her, my dog loves it there! She always comes home tuckered out haha!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since high school and have experience with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. As a college student, I’m responsible, reliable, and will treat your pets like my own while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and routines. I understand how important pets are to their families and will treat yours with the same love and attention I give my own pets.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Alafaya
This was our first time using Rover and I’m so happy we did! April and Terrell were absolutely wonderful and we have already booked our next stay with them. I think Chopper misses all of his new friends. Thank you for both for taking such great care of our sweet long boy, it means the world to us! See you again soon.
We had a great experience with Mark and Veronique! We dropped Charles off in the afternoon, and he spent the day with them while we were away. They sent us a few pictures throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind and showed that he was having a good time. They also have a large backyard that I’m sure Charles really enjoyed exploring and playing in. They were both very kind and welcoming, and when we picked him up, he seemed happy and comfortable. We would definitely trust them to watch Charles again and would recommend them to other pet parents!
Carey has been our go to sitter for our dog Nala for the past few months. She’s absolutely amazing and Nala is always so excited to go stay with her. We feel so at peace knowing that Carey is taking great care of Nala while we’re both at work! Highly recommend, Carey is the best!
Kameron took great care of our fur baby all day, and she had an absolute blast! She explored the backyard and played with Rocco. We really appreciate his time and effort in taking care of her. If you’re looking for a reliable pet sitter, we highly recommend Kameron
José was amazing with Buster! 🐾 From the moment we met, I could tell he truly cares for dogs. He kept me updated with photos and messages, and Buster came back happy, calm, and well taken care of. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Buster was in such good hands. I would definitely book with José again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!!😌

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Alafaya on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,116 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Alafaya. 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 Alafaya 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 FL 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 2,116 sitters in Alafaya, 86% 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.
