“Pepper went back a second time to visit her new friends. She was visibly excited to see them. I’m very happy to have found a place she is comfortable in. Thanks Lisa & Charlie. See you next time!”
“Lindsey and Leroy were great with my dog. They were flexible with the times we needed a sitter and kept me up to date while my dog was in their care. Lindsey was very communicative and I would use her again!”
“Love Amelia and her entire sweet family. She took amazing care of our little chihuahua who is very nervous about being away from home. The updates and photos left me very confident and happy that I chose Amelia. She is wonderful and I hope Sophie can stay with her in the future!”
“Mariana was such a WONDERFUL sitter for old Hilbert!! She took him for 2 walks, dried him off after getting stuck in the rain, and treated him like he belonged to her! If we are ever in St Augustine again, I will definitely use her again!”
“Molly is very kind and took excellent care of our special needs dog, Bandit. She keeps a super clean environment and goes the extra mile for your pet. I highly recommend her! Thanks Molly!”
“Tracy is an exceptional caregiver. I have a 15 year old miniature pinscher that Tracy took care of for the day recently. Throughout the day, Tracy checked in with me via text, sending pics of my chilled out dog. I knew my dog was comfortable and calm when Tracy sent a pic of her begging for snacks. When I picked up my dog later that afternoon, she was relaxed and sleepy. Tracy is a consummate professional. After I contacted her about day care, we had a meet and greet so my dog could get acquainted with her. Tracy was on time and exhibited kindness and trustworthiness from the get go. She loves dogs and it showed. I hope to use her day care service again because I know my dog will be well taken care of. Compassion, kindness, and trustworthiness are qualities that Tracy possesses in abundance. I highly recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is consistency, structure, and attention to detail. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable, hands-on care throughout the day—not just quick drop-ins. I’m especially strong at maintaining routines, which helps pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and small changes so I can adjust care in real time. I’m experienced with: • Puppies and reinforcing basic routines (potty schedules, crate familiarity, structured play) • Adult dogs with regular exercise and enrichment needs • Senior pets who require a slower pace, patience, and closer monitoring • Multi-pet households with different needs and personalities Clear communication is a big priority for me—I provide regular updates and photos so owners always feel confident their pet is in good hands. I work from home and manage a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. I structure my routine to accommodate pet needs first—whether that means morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care. I am available for weekday and weekend bookings, including repeat schedules. Because I’m not tied to a traditional 9–5 outside the home, I can maintain reliable routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, routines, and any specific needs before care begins. In my home: • Pets are supervised and kept in a calm, clean environment • I maintain a structured routine to reduce stress and keep pets comfortable • I avoid overcrowding to ensure each pet gets proper attention In clients’ homes: • I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, medication, and routines • I respect your home and keep everything clean and secure • I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you always know how your pet is doing I’m attentive to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of discomfort so I can respond quickly if anything seems off.

About: Note: our rating is only under 5 stars because we fell behind with updating the app when we had several life changes in 2023. However we have nothing but positive reviews! I have taken care of dogs on and off since childhood. My wife and I both love dogs and have enjoyed taking care of our own two dogs. We spend tons of time walking them, taking them to the park, and cuddling with them. Your dog would receive the same love, attention, care, and prioritization as we give our two. One of us is always home. My wife works from home during the day, and I'm home in the late afternoons and all evening. We take our dogs out frequently and are able to attend to any of your pet's needs throughout the day. We have a large fenced in yard on over an acre of property. We also are happy to take frequent walks or trips to the park of your dog has high energy needs. We have a large home with plenty of indoor space as well. Jacquelin is a stay at home mom to our 5 year old son with lots of help from extended family. Pet care can therefore be prioritized during the day, and Shannon is home in the evening and weekends and loves spending that free time playing with the dogs in our care. Pet needs are definitely able to be (and are) prioritized. Pets are given lots of attention, we make that it's not just their basic needs are attended to, but also that they get lots of extra love and attention! We are both meticulous in our attention to detail and will make sure all needs and wants are met. Jacquelin is a stay at home mom with lots of help with our 5 year old son with extended family, so she has plenty of time and flexibility to meet your pet’s needs! We have a completely fenced in yard. All of our dogs are friendly, however I tend to air on the side of caution and keep dogs separated generally, especially if the pet parent prefers.
“Great communication before and during his stay, sent pics to see how Bear was doing throughout the day. Very clean house and beautiful and safe fenced back yard. Bear had a great time staying there and played with another friendly dog, came home tired. We highly recommend Brittany and will use her services again in the future.”
“Katie was wonderful with Bella! She took her on a walk, played with her, made sure she stayed entertained, and even gave her some nap time. I really appreciated the detailed updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while Bella was in her care. Katie is so friendly, personable, and clearly loves what she does. Bella had a great time, and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in Katie’s care. I would absolutely recommend Katie to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter! 🐾💕”
“Lovely family who went above and beyond to ensure my fur baby had fresh air and undivided attention. Excellent and prompt communication. Safe and reliable caregivers.”
“Katharine was really kind and watched our sweet Ruby for a day while we visited St Augustine. She sent me pictures throughout the day which was very comforting. If and whenever we come back to visit we would definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with senior dogs as well as crazy hipper dogs who just want attention. I am structured and kind and prefer pets to people. I own my own business and am available to board your pups all days of the week and weekends. I will do my best to accommodate your needs. I have raised golden retrievers but now only have one black lab (Starlight) and I understand the stress of leaving our fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and a very friendly dog.

About: I've had pets, both cats and dogs for most of my life. For the last ten years, I've had a Great Pyrenees mix and her cat sister, and also have a spunky four year old male cat. All are incredibly friendly and social, and used to friends and family bringing their pets over all the time. I have a relatively large, two story, 4BR with office house with a fenced in yard in a private neighborhood located adjacent to Treaty Park and the dog park there. My dog is very social and has been going to dog parks regularly since she was a puppy with zero incidents.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Armstrong
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 593 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Armstrong. 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 Armstrong 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 593 sitters in Armstrong, 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 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.
