About: I have cared for dogs for friends and family while they are away on vacation, making sure they are fed, walked, played with, and given plenty of love and attention. I absolutely love animals and have two dogs of my own, a Golden Retriever and a Beagle. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and my two daughters love animals just as much as I do. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I spend most of my time at home and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on my schedule. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their families are away. I have a loving home with two friendly dogs, a Golden Retriever and a Beagle. They are very social and have always been comfortable around other dogs. I also have a friendly cat who has always lived with dogs and is comfortable around them. My home has a spacious backyard where pets can safely play and enjoy outdoor time. I provide a clean, caring, supervised environment and treat every pet like part of my own family.
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful! It is easy to see how much she loves ani(dogs) she has shown so much patience to Smoke who has anxiety. She sends daily pictures to keep us informed, you can see how much fun he is having. Ashley has been flexible with my schedule.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was 10 years old, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. I also have care experience with saltwater fish tanks, reptiles, rodents, poultry and more! Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, and love their pets as if they were my own. I share my home with cats, bunnies, and multiple saltwater aquariums! so I truly understand how important it is to give each animal personalized attention, patience, and affection. I’m also pursuing a career as a vet tech, which gives me extra knowledge and care skills that I bring to every pet I meet. I’m an active volunteer at the Humane society in Tampa and The Mercyful Project in St. Pete where I participate in a program called “doggy day out” where you take a shelter dog out for the day and give them a memorable experience! I decided to leave corporate America to pursue more animal time! I’m currently working part-time for my boyfriend while also going to school, so I have plenty of flexibility to devote to your pets. I’m available on weekends and weekdays for walks, drop-ins, in home sitting :) Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I can easily crate your pup if needed, and I always maintain a safe, clean, and loving environment. With years of hands-on experience and a true passion for animals, I’ll make sure your pets feel cared for and loved like part of the family.
“Our sweet and shy Athena had a great time at Heather's for doggy daycare. We felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. We'd definitely bring her back again! Thanks Heather!”
“This is why I love Rover! My dog sitter cancelled due to illness and Heather said "No problem! I can watch her." Heather was also very flexible with my time frame. My job sometimes has a long hours that can be randomly thrown at us. Heathers dogs were so cute and friendly, and didn't mind my puppy. It was a great experience and I'll be using her again for sure!”

“Fantastic. Took great care of my puppy Louey and we’re super communicative and helpful. Highly recommend them and when I need them again if I go Out of town I’m absolutely going to them !”
“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!”
“Fabulous week for Juno our Alaskan Husky mix! She was so settled and happy with Denise and her Border Collie Frankie! Such peace of mind knowing Juno was in good hands and happy. Denise is a wonderful person. She understands dogs and she totally gets dog owners worries too. Would not hesitate to use her again!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Lake
Our pup received the warmest welcome at our meet and greet. Laura definitely has a knack with fur babies and it is easy to tell she has years of experience with them. We looked forward to scheduling a daycare date. Thankfully, she was available during the time of my Mom's visit which enabled the two of us to enjoy our day of shopping. (Mom is fussy with her granddog and fully approved of Laura's care admiring the way she looked after him.) We consider ourselves very fortunate to have found Laura and her family. We appreciated the photos throughout the day (adored the ones with belly rubs from her sons) and up-to-date communications. Thank you, Laura.
During our initial meet and greet, I knew instantly that Jenny would be a caring and knowledgeable sitter. We booked a daycare visit and she was quickly responsive with our communications. We found the Drop off and pick up to be efficient and detailed with the day's activities. We enjoyed receiving the photos and Jenny's comments. We look forward to another opportunity for Caesar to stay with Jenny!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - East Lake
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in East Lake on Rover is $26.64 per day (as of September 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 East Lake 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 2,350 sitters in East Lake, 85% 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.
