About: I’m a stay at home mom with lots of time, attention, and love to give your pups. Dogs have always been a big part of my life and I love getting to know their personalities, routines, and little quirks. I’m happy to provide a calm, welcoming home where they can relax and feel at ease while you’re away :) I’m home most of the day with my son, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout their stay. I'm able to take them out for longer walks if needed, provide exercise and play, and cuddles! :) We live in a calm, pet-friendly community with plenty of grassy areas for walks and a fenced dog park. Your pup’s safety is a priority, and I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and levels of comfort.
“My Shiba is a pretty anxious little one. Elena and her parents were extremely affectionate and gave him the time to warm up. He played very well with Coco and I am a content happy mom. Will definitely rebook.”
“Very pleased with the accommodations!! Inside area is fabulous for pups to hang during warm days. Loved that someone was physically with him all day to monitor the pups while they played!! Thank you very much! We have a tired little pooch tonight!!”
“Debra and her son were wonderful with Olive. She settled in right away and was just as comfortable as she is at home. I loved getting updates throughout the day, it was clear she was having a great time. We’d happily book with them again.”
“Trevor did an outstanding job looking after my puppy! He not only kept me updated with awesome photos and regular updates throughout the day but also ensured my pup returned to me squeaky clean! My puppy was worn out and seemed to have the best day with Trevor. I couldn't be more pleased with his exceptional care!”
“Janet is the perfect person to give both myself and my little doxie a change of scenery! Since she takes small dogs, Honey is perfectly comfortable at Janet's house, and she loves playing with the other dogs. Janet is very knowledgeable about dogs, and has made a few good recommendations to me regarding food, vets, etc. I'm so glad to have a place to leave Honey for a day or for a week, and feel she is happy and safe!”
“Burphee enjoyed himself and felt safe with her. She was extremely caring and made sure I was comfortable with the whole process too. I highly recommend.”
“Haley was awesome..... she was ready and waiting for me when I dropped off the dogs and picked them up. She gave me all kinds of feedback on the dogs and it looks like they got PLENTY of exercise... the pictures and videos were great! My dogs are going back to her this evening and through the weekend and I'm very they will be with someone that I trust and know she will take care of my pups.”
About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve taken care my sister’s dog, my cousin’s puppy, my friend’s chickens, and my friend’s dog too, over the years. I recently decided to give the Rover community a chance. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away! I have one fur baby of my own - a brown pit mix who is full of energy and curiosity! I currently have a lot of free time on my hands, which will allow me to dedicate all the time necessary to your lifelong companions. I am available for drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I’m a reliable, caring dog walker who’ll treat your pup like family. When in your home, I would take your fur baby for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable. I also provide video and picture updates of your baby’s day.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for decades and will treat your babies like the royalty they are. My home is their home when they are here. I’m home all day with my three babies, so I have the capacity to frequently take your kiddos on walks & playtime out in the fenced yard I have three dogs on my own that are friendly after getting acclimated to other visiting dogs. I have a completely separate room if needed for solitude while boarding.
“My dog Nico really seems to enjoy going to Keith’s home for doggy day care. It has been very helpful to find someone who lives close to my job, is affordable, and takes care of Nico. Thanks Keith!”
“Laura is the best. Our boy Jimmy loves her and she is a fantastic communicator. I am so glad she is so close and able to allow us to work knowing our boy is well cared for.”
About: To me, pets aren't just animals—they're family. With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for pets, I provide loving, patient, and reliable care tailored to each pet's unique personality. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved, giving you peace of mind while you're away. 🐶🐱❤️ I'm home most of the day, so your pet will have plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I only leave for about an hour to take my son to and from school, which means I'll have lots of time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and making sure your furry friend feels comfortable and happy. I'm available for boarding during the week, and while I occasionally have plans on weekends, I always make sure the pets in my care receive the attention they deserve. 🐾 I have a fully fenced yard where your pet can safely play and explore. I don't currently have any dogs or cats, so your furry friend will receive my full attention and lots of love. I always follow each pet's routine to help them feel comfortable and at home. If your dog is crate-trained or uses a crate for sleeping or relaxing, I'm more than happy to accommodate that as well. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where every pet feels like part of the family. 🐶🐱❤️
“I was visit from out of town for a medical conference. I couldn’t bring my dog to the conference. Laura was so understanding and kind. She understood I was not going to be a repeat customer. However she stepped up to help me and watch Peaches. She gave her medicine too.”
“Heather took great care of our chocolate Labrador for four days and was very flexible with last minute changes to our drop off and pick up times on all four days that we were in the Tampa area. We will book with Heather again when we're back in the Tampa area. Highly recommend Heather to care for your fur babies.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carrollwood
We had a great experience with Joy’ stay in Patricia’s house. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and thoughtful, and it was clear that the environment was well set up for the dogs’ comfort and safety. She was very communicative throughout the day and sent us updates, photos, and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind as first-time daycare users. We could see that Joy was being well cared for and enjoying her time with the other dogs. We really appreciated the care, professionalism, and communication. We would definitely trust her with Joy again and would not hesitate to book with her in the future.
What an awesome experience I have had with Justine! She was super sweet and took both of my girls together without an issue. She provided me with frequent updates and was very accommodating when we were late for pickup. I am happy to have found her and will definitely make her my official dog sitter from now on!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Carrollwood on Rover is $31.08 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Carrollwood 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.

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.
