“Apollo had a great day with Seda and Aron!! Apollo came home exhausted and content. Thank you for the fun day of doggie day care. We will definitely use their services real soon.”
“I have only left my fur baby with 3 people in the last 5 years and Abigail is the 4th...I trust Abigail with Madyson... Madyson had love and attention not only from Abigail and Abigails daughter, but also from Abigails fur babies... I loved not only the updates about how Madyson was doing but also the pictures that Abigail sent to me... This was the first day, of I hope many days, that Madyson will stay with Abigail and play with her new friends... Thank you Abigail for giving me the peace of mind knowing that Madyson is loved and cared for when I am away and she is with you!”
“Excellent experience for Rem and Charlie our pups. Very attentive sitter, sent lots of updates and pictures. Thank you so much for doing such a great job on short notice.”
“My pups had a fantastic time with Andressa and Alex!!! My 2 Shit Tzus have never been around big dog and I was so worried but my fears were put to rest because they slowly introduced Dobby to my pups. Andressa and Alex sent me pic and video’s throughout the day! My pups are learning how to play with other dogs!! I can see a big difference in such a short period of time. Highly highly recommend your fur baby with them!!!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over two decades. Caring for animals is truly my passion, and I take pride in providing a safe, loving, and attentive environment for every dog in my care. From gentle senior dogs to energetic pups, I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and routine—including feeding schedules, walks, and plenty of affection. I treat every dog like family! I structure my daily routine around providing full attention and dedicated care for pets. Because I have a flexible day-to-day schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, playtimes, feeding times, and companionship so your dog never feels lonely or anxious while you are away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have two sweet dogs of my own (a energetic 3-year-old and a gentle 14-year-old senior) and a child in my home who is very respectful and loving with animals. I maintain a clean, secure, and friendly environment. I carefully follow all feeding and care instructions, ensuring every pet feels happy and well cared for!

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs throughout my life, starting with my first dog, Brownie, who was part of my family for 11 wonderful years. That experience taught me how much patience, love, attention, and responsibility goes into caring for a dog. I provide personalized care based on each dog’s personality and routine, with plenty of walks, playtime, exercise, and cuddles. Your dog won’t simply be let out into the backyard and left there, they’ll get dedicated walks, activity, playtime, and attention. My goal is for every pup in my care to feel safe, happy, comfortable, and treated like family I work from home, so I’m here throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention and supervision. I offer daycare from 9am to 5pm and boarding. Your dog will have time for walks, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day rather than simply being left outside. I work from home, providing constant supervision, daily walks, exercise, playtime with my dog, potty breaks, and care while following your dog’s routine and preferences for comfort
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and hands-on knowledge from raising and training my two labs since they were puppies.

In my home, pets enjoy a safe, fenced yard and lots of playtime with my two active labs. We go on daily walks and have plenty of toys for enrichment. I’m experienced with crate training and can provide a cozy crate if needed. Whether in my home or yours, I care for pets like family—making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged.

I had such a wonderful experience. My dog Ziggy is naturally anxious and nervous, and Seda was incredibly patient and gentle with him, making him feel safe and comfortable. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. I’m truly grateful and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for compassionate, attentive dog care.

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 Balm 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 .
