“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 🥰!”
“Ashleigh and Travis accommodated a last minute request and they were fantastic with our dog Milly. She is typically an anxious dog but felt very comfortable with them. She settled in pretty quickly and they kept me updated during the day. I would book again.”
“It was a pleasure meeting Kerri during the meet and greet and being to talk with her and see where my dog would be spending her day. This gave me the level of comfort and confidence I needed to book a day care and extended stay reservation. I enjoyed working with her as she sent timely notifications, picture updates and a report card at the end of the stay. My dog was cared for and loved. I will recommend her and continue to book her care through the app! My pup and I are very happy customers!”
“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!”
About: I have been a Certified Veterinary Assistant for 10 years. I also have two Certified Therapy Dogs. We visit schools, hospitals, nursing homes and other events. I also care for dogs in my home when friends go on vacation. I take in only one at a time. I’m retired and work out five days a week. I go to the gym, and do Tai Chi. 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!
“l so I have to say at this point, Cody is so comfortable going over Sarah's house because he gets to be in a very loving family environment, and he has his friends Mars & Pepper to play with! So he's often looking forward to going to visit over there and I appreciate everything they do! 🤗”
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.
About: Hi! 🐾 I’m Lexus—fully insured and dedicated to caring for your furry family members. I grew up around animals & have experience in the dog grooming industry. I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including puppies, seniors, and pups requiring oral medication. My goal is to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for like my own, while giving pet parents peace of mind while they are away. I share a single-family home with my mom, Tiffany, who also enjoys helping love on the pups who stay with us. We have a fenced backyard for playtime and relaxation, along with two friendly small dogs and two cats. If your pup prefers a quieter experience, we also have a dedicated dog room with cozy beds and toys (you can see pictures in my gallery). I never take more than two dogs at a time in my home to ensure everyone feels safe, calm, and well cared for. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pups, keeping things tidy, maintaining your privacy, and making sure your furry loved one feels secure, happy, and loved. You can feel confident both your pets and your home are in good hands. Building trust is incredibly important to me, which is why meet & greets are required for all new clients. Please take a moment to read through the rest of my profile for important additional details. I can’t wait to meet you and care for your pet(s)! 🐶💕 Availability: Caring for dogs is my full-time job, giving me ample time to dedicate to your fur-baby! I prioritize pet care throughout my day, ensuring regular walks, playtime, and attention to meet their needs, all while maintaining clear communication with frequent updates and pictures. Standard Booking vs Constant Care: A standard booking differs from 24/7 constant care. During a standard stay, your pups are always my priority, and I would NEVER leave them alone for extended periods. That said, standard bookings do allow for brief moments when I may need to step out, such as taking another nearby dog for a quick walk or running a short errand. I’m always mindful of the dogs in my care, and if I need to step out, I keep outings short, plan them around your pup’s routine, and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and settled. If your pup needs around-the-clock supervision (for example, due to separation anxiety, medical needs, or simply extra comfort), it is a separate service level that would fall under Rover’s constant care bookings, which I offer at a flat rate of $150 per day. This rate ensures I can block off my calendar and be fully prepared to provide 24 hour care. Please make sure to note this requirement in your booking request or at our meet and greet, as fees will need to be modified prior to confirming the dates requested. Start and End Times: To help me coordinate care smoothly, please keep your start and ends times within a 1-hour window. If a wider time frame is requested, I’ll adjust it before confirming your booking. Late arrivals may be subject to additional fees or cancellation, so please communicate with me as soon as possible if your plans change. I often have other pet guests scheduled immediately before and after each visit; accurate timing is essential, so I can provide every pet the attention they deserve. Confirming a Request: Per Rover’s policy, full payment is required before your booking can be confirmed. I’m unable to hold or block off dates until payment is completed. I often receive multiple requests for the same dates, therefore bookings are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Requests may be archived if payment isn’t secured within 24 hours of our meet and greet, as pending requests temporarily remove my availability from other pet parents who are searching for care. Please note, I do not receive payment from Rover until services have been fully rendered. Cancellations: I do not offer refunds for any stay canceled less than 7 days of the confirmed booking or less than 14 days of a holiday booking. This is my full time position, and cancellations greatly impact my ability to continue to provide excellent care at a competitive rate. I appreciate your understanding. My goal is to give every pet the attention, safety, and consistency they deserve while under my supervision. These guidelines help me provide consistent, high-quality care while keeping things organized and fair for all families. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. 💛 Safety & Trust: As an animal owner and lover myself, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and trustworthy environment for pets. During the meet and greet, I will ask a lot of questions about your pup- this is to ensure I know as much as possible to make your dog feel at ease while under my care, and to make sure I am a good fit for your needs. This time will also allow you to ask me any questions you may have. My goal is to leave you feeling comfortable and confident that when your pet is in my care, they are treated like family- with a patient, attentive, and nurturing approach that fosters genuine connection, safety, and trust.
“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 did a wonderful job taking care of our fur baby. Kayla is kind and caring and I felt 100% confident leaving our dog in her care. I would highly recommend Kayla.”

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. My experience administering medication I am very comfortable administering medication and have experience with many different types. 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. 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.
“Outstanding. My pup settled in quickly and looked very happy and comfortable in the many pictures and videos Christine provided throughout the booking. She played a lot and was so relaxed and happy for days afterwards. I intend to book again.”
“Our daycare experience with Ella was wonderful! She is very sweet and helpful. Gave us updates of our dog and cat throughout the day with pictures. I would recommend her to everyone!!”
“This is our first time using Rover. We were out of town and needed someone to take care of our fur-baby for a day due that he had an emergency surgery. We are very pleased with Lee-Anne. Our fur-baby doesn’t stay just with anyone. He loved Lee-Anne from the time he arrived. That kept me at ease and happy. Lee-Anne asked us if it was ok to send us texts with updates. I told her that I truly appreciate asking becuase we wanted updates. Lee-Anne send us tons of videos and pictures. Lee-Anne followed our furbaby’s medicines and feeding instructions. We are very pleased with Lee-Anne services and highly recommend her. We will be using Lee-Anne when he come back to the Orlando area. Thank you for taking great care of our fur-baby. Our fur-baby was very happy.”
“Iliana was amazing. She took care of my two dogs for the day and they seriously did not want to leave her house. She updated us every hour or so with pictures and videos. She was so engaged with them and played fetch with my lab for hours. Book with her!!”

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!!😌
Anastasia was absolutely wonderful with my little doggy Princess. She has severe separation anxiety and Anastasia was the remedy that made Princess feel right at home. I can see my dog's happiness through the daily pictures Anastasia sent me. From day 1, Anastasia was flexible with our meet & greet time & all the way through daily care for my doggy. Even accommodated me when I needed overnight instead of daycare along with needing to add an extra day of care last minute. When my dog ran out of FOOD, Anastasia took care of it. I cant say enough good things about Anastasia! My family and I were came in from out of town to visit Disney World and i travel with my dog bc of her anxieties of being away from me...and having Anastasia taking care of my little Princess during our time here made our vacation perfect and put my mind 100% at ease. Dont hesitate - book her.
Daniela was so easy to work with. She was very flexible and accommodating. Easy to communicate any changes with. She takes great care of your dog as my dog fell asleep as soon as she got home. Price is very competitive while delivering excellent care. Would highly recommend for any pet care in the UCF/ Orlando area.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Alafaya
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Alafaya on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,137 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 2,137 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.
