“Norma is so wonderful! I've had to find a new sitter / overnight boarder for my beloved, fuzzy child. Norma is so kind, gentle, and loving.

“I cannot say enough positive! My first time being away from my 14 w.o. rescue, and I was super-worried. :( Athena and Ritchie were kind enough to meet me ahead of time and answered my MANY questions! Throughout the day, they sent a ton of pics putting my mind at ease to know my form was having fun playing with the other dogs. They were prompt to answer any questions I had during the day as well. Thank you, both, so very much! Penelope had a great day, and I’m sure is looking forward to her stay in October already 🐶 ♥️!”
“Cristina was very accommodating of my dog Pogo for a last-minute daycare reservation. She sent lots of pictures that gave me a comfortable feeling. He had some needs and restrictions that she clearly followed which I appreciated very much. She is a very considerate sitter and understands the importance of what she's doing.”

“The absolute sweetest soul to leave our puppers with!! They came back tired out and slept through the night. Autumn kept in contact when needed and even provided treats for them to go home with. 10/10 service. I’ve also never had my nervous pups be so willing to be around someone and they went right to her! Dogs always know I suppose haha. Thank you Autumn!”

“Shannon was absolutely amazing taking care of Benny. He was very accommodating to my needs for daycare, he kept in touch with me, sent me updates and photos. I love that his entire family is warm and welcoming. His own dog is a perfect playmate for Benny. He matched his energy and was so playful and sweet. I love that Benny was allowed to be on the couch and also hang out with Shannon and sleep by his feet at this desk. I really feel like my baby was taken care of and I trust Shannon with his care 100% and can say this family is perfect situation if you want your dog looked after all day. He also puts tracking on their collar to insure your dog doesn’t get lost if by some chance they got out which I don’t even see happening . The kids are a wonderful addition to helping keep the dogs entertained. You can’t ask for more. I am very grateful to have found Shannon here on Rover and I can rest easy knowing my baby is in good hands when I can’t be there.”

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

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dunedin on Rover is $27.82 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 Dunedin 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 2,194 sitters in Dunedin, 84% 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.
