“Danielle was really nice and Shadow loved her. She had other dogs besides her own, but made sure that everyone was happy and did not get stressed out. Shadow loved the back yard, chasing butterflies, and playing with the Australian Shepherd. She got brushing at the end of the days she was there to get the sand off. She was tired out, which was great. She is still a puppy at 15 months. Thank you.”

“I booked with Ana for a few days while my floors were getting redone, as we didn’t want my little Pomeranian to be in the way. He had so much fun! There were lots of other dogs to play with, and they even had kiddie pools available for playing in. I will definitely be bringing him back.”

About: 🐾 Personalized Pet Care in a Calm Country Setting 🐾 First-time clients receive $20 off their first booking with promo code AMANDF33991 Hi! I'm Amanda, and pet care isn't just something I do—it's been my life's work for over 20 years. My background includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, shelter and rescue work, pet sitting, and animal care at Walt Disney World's Best Friends Pet Care. I specialize in providing personalized care for senior pets, anxious pets, and those with medical needs who may not thrive in a traditional boarding environment. Your pet will stay in a quiet home setting with individualized attention, comfortable accommodations, and plenty of opportunities to relax, explore, and feel at home while you're away. 🐶 What I Offer • Boarding in a calm home environment • Drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and other pets • Medication administration • Senior pet care • Experience with medical and special-needs pets • Rural property with plenty of space to sniff and explore • Flexible scheduling • Midday potty breaks and regular supervision throughout the day 🐾 A Good Fit For • Senior dogs • Anxious or shy pets • Dogs who prefer a quieter environment • Pets with medical needs • Families looking for individualized care rather than large group boarding I grew up in a family-run Shar-Pei kennel and have spent more than two decades working with animals. My experience includes veterinary medicine, pet boarding, pet sitting, rescue work, shelter management, Disney's Best Friends Pet Care, and PetSmart Pet Hotel. I am comfortable caring for dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, livestock, and pets with significant medical or behavioral needs. To provide individualized care, I intentionally limit the number of boarding guests I accept at one time. However, multi-dog families are welcome; please message for updated availability.

“Zakary was a wonderful dog sitter. They communicated before my stay as well as during my stay. They took amazing photos of my dogs. They have a wonderful yard in the front of the house with obstacles for your dogs in a very safe gated area. I would absolutely use them again during my next trip in Gainesville. Oh, and they gave my dogs, home-cooked chicken and rice with my permission.”

“I am very happy with Teddy's recent daycare stay with Chair! Chari is communicative, flexible, and accommodating. Teddy was really taken with her and her boyfriend and even attempted to follow them into the house when they went to retrieve his things as they were returning from a walk. I was a little worried about what Teddy's behavior might be due to him being puppy with a lot of energy. Chari reassured me several times that everything would be fine, and it certainly was. I plan to use Chari again for daycare for both, Teddy, and my dog Lou. I highly recommend Chari for pet care!”

About: My brother and I work from home, so your fur baby will get plenty of love and attention throughout their stay! I’ve cared for dogs for over 10 years, to include caring for senior dogs through end of life care. During the day I’m a special education tutor, so have tons of patience and empathy! I’m comfortable administering medication, caring for hot spots or other treatments to vet orders, and keeping a watchful eye while you’re away! Part time tutor, part time studying for law school, so your pup will get plenty of belly scratches and one on one attention. My dog loves being around other four legged friends, so they will have a built in bestie to run around with (or just sit around with). I either work from home or have two hour sessions with my clients. My brother lives with me, so someone will almost always be around to let the dogs out and give them plenty of love and attention. I have a fenced in backyard, with one playful and sweet young dog who loves everyone she meets. We are a very dog focused household, and are in the process of installing a doggy door so the pups can go in/out as they please (when we are home, it will be locked when out running errands).

About: I’ve been a dog-mom for the past 14 years. Recently, our dog crossed over the rainbow bridge and we want to love on some dogs the way our dog was loved. We have cared for puppies and senior dogs alike for many years. We are active and enjoy exercising and playing outside with dogs or just relaxing at home, depending on your pet’s needs. Both online teachers, we are organized and routine-oriented, and offer flexibility with scheduling. We currently do not have children or other animals in our home. We will take care of your dog as if it were our own. We are experienced in administering medicine and supplements as-needed. We will only watch one family’s dog(s) at a time to ensure your baby(ies) gets the attention he or she deserves. We have relied on Rover for many years in the past with our own dog so we understand the desire to feel comfortable with whom you leave your animal while you’re away. We hope you’ll choose us for your dog-sitting needs! Working from home, we have flexible schedules for pick-up and drop-off. We are able to spend lots of quality time with your pup! We have a neighborhood for walking dogs and live just a few miles from a dog park. We will ensure your dog gets the exercise or relaxation he or she needs.

“Liza and her roommates made my pup feel right at home, so much so that by the third day of dog sitting, he was literally whimpering and clamoring to greet Lisa when we arrived in the morning. Each day, he ran inside and never looked back. It was clear that he had all the attention and care he wanted each day! I will happily return when we next need a dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been providing professional pet care through my business, ‘Boarding With Barbii’ for a few years now, offering a safe, comfortable, home-based environment where dogs can feel like part of the family while their owners are away. I intentionally limit the number of dogs in my care so each pet receives plenty of attention, supervision, playtime and affection. My experience includes overnight boarding, pet daycare, drop-in care and working with puppies on basic training, routines and manners. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and needs, and I take introductions and compatibility seriously. My goal is simple: provide dependable care while giving pet parents peace of mind that their dog is safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for. 🐶❤️ Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I operate my business full-time and have the flexibility to provide consistent supervision, attention, playtime, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Because I intentionally keep my bookings limited, I’m able to give each pet individualized attention while maintaining their normal feeding, sleeping and activity routines as closely as possible. I provide care in a comfortable, home-based, cage-free environment designed to feel more like home than a traditional boarding facility. Safety is always a priority, so I carefully consider each pet’s temperament, routine and compatibility before introducing them to other dogs. Pets are supervised, introductions are handled carefully, and dogs can be separated when necessary for feeding, rest or safety. I follow each pet parent’s care instructions closely and provide updates throughout their stay so you can feel confident while your pet is in my care.

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past three years, so I understand how much love, attention, and patience our furry friends need. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play, love going for walks, or prefer a relaxing day with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to give every dog the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own! I only have 1-2 classes a day and nothing on the weekends so I have plenty of time to give your babies lots of love ❤️ I have one chihuahua who is very chill, playful and loves new friends. I also have a big 1 acre fenced area that I can take the dogs to walk and play off the leash as much as they want. Inside I let the animals roam and play freely (Blyss has plenty of toys to share) but I can also have them separated if needed. I also love to give treats if allowed!

About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.

About: Loving & Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! 🐾 Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, and today I’m a proud pet parent to 6 dogs, 3 cats, and a variety of other amazing animals—including sugar gliders, turtles, fish, mice, snakes, and lizards. 🩷 I have cared for dogs of all ages—from fragile newborn puppies to seniors needing extra love and patience. I’m experienced in providing special care for older pets and am attentive to any unique needs or quirks they may have, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. With over 6 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, animal care specialist, and groomer, I bring both expertise and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, administering special care, or simply giving them extra affection, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently working off of my own schedule so I have a ton of flexibility! I can do same day appointments and adjustments if needed! When providing care in either my home or a client’s home, my priority is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any special instructions provided—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or unique care needs—so your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. I give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and if treats are allowed, I’m happy to use them as part of positive interactions. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, offering snuggles, companionship, and the highest level of care so they feel happy and secure while you’re away.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Archer

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Archer on Rover is $24 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $40 per day. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 263 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Archer. 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 Archer 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 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 263 sitters in Archer, 87% 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.
