“Oreo really enjoyed spending the days with Kayla & Joseph. He was chill when I picked him up like ge could stay or go home. I would definitely use them again.”
“Marquita watched my puppy for a whole day and took such amazing care of her! Such a sweet person with a nice family! She also sent me great pictures and updates while I was out. I was so grateful to have a caring person to leave my very energetic little pup with. Marquita was an excellent communicator and I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Christina is great! Willa loves staying at her house and playing with her dogs while I'm at work. She takes them on walks every day to the park or around the neighborhood. She even does special exercise and playtime activities like pool parties and toy time. Willa comes home tired out from a long day of fun and socialization. She sends daily pictures as well so I get to see how Willa's day went.”
“Enzo had a great day with Jennifer today. We will definitely continue with daycare when we need it! Thanks for taking good care of our sweet boy.”
“We loved having Olga watch our puppy, Penelope. Penelope is highly energetic and Olga had no issue matching her energy. We had a last minute engagement and Olga was there for us at 9pm the night before. It was amazing.”
About: 🐾 Wagging Tails, Happy Hearts, Peace of Mind While You're Apart 🐾 I have a genuine connection with animals and a love for them that is difficult to put into words. From as far back as I can remember, I've been drawn to nature and animals of all kinds—big and small. Caring for animals isn't just something I do; it's a lifelong passion that has always been a part of who I am. Throughout my life, I've rescued and cared for countless animals and have a natural ability to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pet care goes beyond meeting basic physical needs. My goal is to provide companionship, enrichment, comfort, and an overall sense of well-being so your pets feel happy, secure, and cared for while you're away. Whether your furry family members are staying with me or I'm caring for them in the comfort of your home, they will be treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own pets. I understand how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your beloved companions. Every pet has their own unique personality, routines, quirks, and preferences, and I take the time to learn and respect those details. Maintaining their familiar routines helps keep them comfortable, stress-free, and happy while you're away, giving you peace of mind knowing they're in caring and capable hands. **Specialized Care & Experience** I have experience caring for pets with a wide variety of unique needs and personalities. Whether your pet is shy, reactive, unsocialized, elderly, very young, disabled, recovering from illness or injury, or simply has their own special routines and quirks, I provide patient, individualized care tailored to their comfort and well-being. My experience includes: • Senior (geriatric) pet care • Puppy and kitten (pediatric) care • Special-needs and disabled pets • Reactive, fearful, or unsocialized animals • Medication administration (oral, topical, and other routine medications) • Post-surgical and recovery support • Mobility assistance and accommodations • Maintaining specialized feeding, exercise, and behavioral routines I understand that every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their preferences, triggers, habits, and routines so they feel safe, secure, and understood while you're away. ❤️ Pet care is my primary focus this summer, giving me the flexibility to accommodate a wide range of schedules and care needs. I understand how important consistency and routine are, so I work to ensure their care fits seamlessly into their normal day. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, multiple daily visits, medication, specialized attention, or full day/overnight sitting, I have the availability to provide dependable, personalized care and plenty of attention while you're away. I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and low-stress environment that feels as close to your pet's normal routine as possible. In my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard with plenty of shade for supervised outdoor time. I share my home with one senior dog and three cats who are accustomed to other animals. Depending on your preferences and your pet's personality, they can socialize with my pets or be kept completely separate. I understand that not every animal enjoys company, and I'm happy to accommodate whatever makes them most comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication routines, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help maintain consistency and reduce stress while you're away. I also respect your home, belongings, privacy, and household routines, ensuring both you and your pets feel comfortable and secure. My goal is always to provide attentive, personalized care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved whether they're staying with me or remaining in the comfort of their own home.
“As someone knew to the city and state with a new puppy to boot along with another dog, I was nervous about last minute accommodations. I have found a second home for my Gertie! Coming from an apartment environment, she has a whole yard to run and play in and the hosts are exceptionally great and very reasonably priced. I highly recommend them to anyone. If there are more stars, I would give them to them. I am looking no more for anyone else. Trust me you will be happy and so will your babies.”
“Another amazing day at Norma's for our pups! They love going to Norma's for daycare and she keeps them busy having fun! Our two Frenchie's hate to leave. Norma sends lots of pictures throughout the day and we highly recommend her if you are looking for any care for your furry family!”
“Jason was able to care for our 6 month old puppy, Teddy on short notice! We are so grateful to have found him. Teddy loves him, and came home a happy tired puppy. Thank you again!”
About: I have over 40 years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I will treat your fur babies as if they are my own. I work from home so they will not be alone for more than 2-3 hours. Frequent potty breaks and play time in the fenced backyard. Naps on the sofa or any of the dog beds around the house. I know how hard it is to find someone you trust. I have been a resident of Dunedin for 20 years at the same house. I am an active foster parent for Humane Society of Pinellas and will take wonderful care of your pets. Your pets will get 24/7 attention from me. I will follow your schedule for feeding, walks and playtime. I can care for your dogs, cats or furry friends. I have a secure, fenced yard. I keep a gate at the front door to provide additional security. I can also crate them if preferred. Please make sure to provide proof of updated vaccines
“Emily was fantastic! Responsive, flexible, friendly, trustworthy and patient. She sent update photos and seemed compassionate and kind interacting with our pup. She even gave us suggestions for things to do around Boston. Thanks Emily!”
“Heather was able to watch my two dogs at last minute's notice! I am boarding them for 10 days in May, so this was a good trial to see how everything went. They seemed quite happy to be with Heather and the afternoon was a success! Thank you so much Heather!”
“I highly recommend Debora. She watched my puppy for a couple hours and upon my return my puppy was learning to “leave it” and to calm down when other dogs are near (she gets super excited). Debora was very nice, super knowledgeable and my puppy loved her the second they met. 10/10”

My full throttle doggo went to sleep as soon as she got in the car telling me she had a blast and a playmate to help expend some of her energy. His dog Rex was an adorable bundle of joyous energy when I picked up my girl. I have a Boston Terrier and Jonathan grew up with them so understood their personalities and how to care for them. He was also very personable and I would use him again.
We are so grateful to have found Marquita! Her welcoming and detailed profile initially drew us to her, and she exceeded all of our expectations. She was incredibly kind and patient with our dog’s timid nature, making Ozzy feel safe and comfortable right away. Marquita's kids are the sweetest and so clearly raised with a love and understanding of animals. I loved receiving her photo updates throughout the visit, and her flexibility made drop-off and pick-up completely stress-free. Ozzy came home happy and relaxed. Everything about Marquita and her home environment made any anxiety about leaving our boy disappear. I am super thankful we were lucky enough to connect with Marquita and I highly recommend booking with her!
5 stars! We had an absolutely amazing experience with Olga. She kept us updated throughout the day, and we truly appreciated her clear, thoughtful communication. Our pup was so well cared for and came home very happy. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
I was on vacation from Massachusetts and needed to find a loving home setting for my dog, Joy, while I took a few vacation days. I loved dropping my dog off at Sydney’s house. She has two dalmatians and the videos and pictures that she sent me throughout the day showed me that everyone was getting along and my dog was well cared for. I highly recommend. Sydney to care for your dog!! Lyn
We are SO pleased with Ashleigh and her set up. We have a 70lb puppy who wants to play, run, and cuddle. Check, check and check! Have received many pictures of play/running, and even rest time inside: lying down next to another dog (!). Ashleigh is very genuine and her cheerful and warm attutude with us as owners and with all the dogs is super reassuring, and the pictures prove that our pup is having a playful and balanced time. Ashleigh also helped me navigate the Rover app. MUCH appreciated.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Clearwater on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Clearwater 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 2,186 sitters in Clearwater, 84% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
