“Penelope & Junior had a great day at Patricia’s house! It’s very clean, lots of space in the backyard, and they had their own personal dog house with AC! They definitely enjoyed their stay and will be back!”
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 especially love caring for adult/senior dogs.🤍 I love getting to know each dog’s personality, routine, and little quirks. I’m happy to provide a calm, welcoming home where they can relax, feel at ease, and get plenty of love 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.
About: As a devoted pet owner to my beloved Julie,I have gained invaluable experience in providing exceptional care and nurturing for animals. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the responsibilities and joys that come with being a pet parent. I’m available to take care of your pet in my home Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 7 PM, you need overnight stays: I offer overnight stays for pets that require 24. At my home, the safety and well-being of your furry friends are my top priorities. I understand that leaving your pets in someone else's care requires trust and assurance, which is why I have taken several measures to create a secure and comfortable environment. My home is equipped with a fully fenced backyard, providing a safe and controlled space for supervised playtime and exercise. This ensures that your pets can enjoy the outdoors while remaining within a secure boundary. To further enhance safety, I have installed cameras throughout my home, including the backyard. These cameras allow me to monitor your pets' activities and ensure their well-being at all times. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are under constant supervision, even when I'm not physically present in the same room.
“Thank you Elena. I look forward to booking again. You made this a great experience in finding a care giver for our young daughter's beloved pet. Elena was prompt in her responses, actively inquired on our pet's needs, and even gave our pup a present when leaving!”
“Janet was absolutely wonderful. Truly a dog lover at heart. Roxy was so comfortable there with the other “friends,” and Janet was excellent at communicating with me. I will most certainly be using her again in the future :)”
“Haley was amazing! She was so understanding and accommodating with our very very shy puppy. She was wonderful with making him feel comfortable even when he was trying to hide. She also kept us updated throughout the day with pictures which we loved! She was the first Dogsitter we’ve had since our pup is terrified of everyone and everything but she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed about everything!”
About: Hi, I’m Sandra! Dogs have been part of our family for more than 25 years, and we’ve always believed they deserve to be treated as family—not simply cared for as pets. I’m a retired nurse and now home full-time, which gives me the opportunity to spend my days doing something I truly love—caring for dogs. That’s how Barks and Beds Carrollwood came to be. Dogs staying with me become part of our home while they’re here. They can relax on the couch, play, cuddle, enjoy our large fully fenced backyard, and settle in just as they would at home. I’m here throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. I intentionally keep my care personal and home-based rather than creating the feel of a traditional boarding facility. I take time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, favorite things, and what makes them feel most comfortable. After 25+ years of loving and caring for our own dogs, I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for yours. My goal is simple: while you’re away, your dog has a safe, comfortable and loving home away from home. Barks and Beds Carrollwood 🐾 Pet care is part of every minute of my day, and it truly brings me joy. I’m a retired registered nurse and now home full-time, so caring for the dogs isn’t something I have to fit around a work schedule—it’s simply part of my life. From morning routines and meals to backyard play, walks, cuddles, and quiet time, I’m here throughout the day. I genuinely love having the dogs around me, getting to know their individual personalities, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re here. I care for every dog in my home just as I care for my own dogs—as a member of the family. They share our home and our large, fully fenced yard and are included in our daily life. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, loved, and at home while their family is away. I’m home full-time, so they receive plenty of companionship, affection, playtime, supervision, and individual attention throughout the day. My goal is for every dog who stays with me to feel like they’re part of the family from the moment they arrive.
“Crystal was amazing with my puppy! She spent two full workdays with Scout while I had to be in the office, and since Scout is only 12 weeks old and full of energy, that’s no small task. Crystal handled everything so well and made me feel completely at ease. Scout was happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Crystal to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for 18 years, and I keep my Rover bookings intentionally small so every pet gets plenty of individual attention rather than feeling like one of many. I’m home throughout most of the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, companionship, and a routine that can be adjusted to what each pet is used to at home. I’m especially patient with dogs who need extra time to settle into a new environment. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding schedules, crate routines, and other care instructions, and I send plenty of photo updates so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away. For boarding and daycare, dogs should be comfortable sharing a home with my dog, Zoey, and our three cats. I also offer walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, and companionship. My goal is to give each pet dependable, individualized care that feels as familiar and low-stress as possible—and give their parents peace of mind while they’re away. I'm home throughout most of the day, which gives me plenty of flexibility for potty breaks, walks, playtime, meals, and companionship throughout your pet's stay. My schedule is generally flexible, and I'm happy to work with your pet's usual routine whenever possible. I just ask that drop-off, pick-up, and visit times are communicated in advance so I can plan accordingly and make sure each pet gets the attention they deserve. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family while still following the routines and boundaries they're used to at home. I keep my bookings limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and closely monitor how they're settling in. I have a fully fenced yard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor time, and I supervise interactions between guest dogs and my own pets. Everyone has space to separate, relax, and decompress when needed, and I never expect animals to interact simply because they're sharing the same home. I follow each pet's normal feeding schedule, crate routine, walking routine, and other care instructions as closely as possible. I also pay close attention to behavior and comfort level so I can adjust their environment if they seem overwhelmed or need more space. For walks and drop-in visits, I'm respectful of your home and follow your pet's usual routine, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, walks, playtime, and companionship. My priority is keeping pets safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that works for them, rather than expecting every animal to fit the same routine.
“Dawn was amazing! She accepted my last-minute booking, took great care of my dog, and kept me updated with photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I will definitely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“We had SUCH a good experience leaving our dog, Berry, with Jenna and her fur babies for daycare! Jenna was super responsive to my messages and took excellent care of my girl. When I picked her up, Berry was happy, tired, and looked like she wouldn’t mind staying at daycare forever. I loved that Jenna had a few pups at her home so that Berry had lots of fun playing with friends all day. Everything on Berry’s schedule (meals, walks, treats, etc.) was done just like I asked! I highly recommend Jenna to watch your fur babies. She did the best job I could have asked for with mine.”
“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.”
“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.”
“It was our Golden doodle Baileys first time staying with Keith and she had a great time! I got pictures of her playing and having a great time with the other doggies too. Im happy that she got to go and played a lot.”

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.

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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,746 sitters in Carrollwood, 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.
