“Jennifer was communicative with caring for our baby Luna. I can tell she and Olive had a great day playing together! We definitely recommend! Your pup will be in great hands with Jennifer.”
“My dog starts whimpering on the way over in anticipation of her playdate with Ollie. She always has a great time and is cared for in the best possible way both for day visits and longer stays. So grateful to have found these folks!”
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.
“Larry and Renee have taken great care of my senior female who just lost her bonded brother. They are very sweet and affectionate, and so understanding of her grief and needs.”
“AJ has been wonderful with our dog Josie! He has been so patient and kind with her and let her go at her own pace. She has had several visits and is getting more comfortable each time. AJ, Trish, and Goose are tremendous hosts. AJ is the bomb! I strongly recommend him and his family for doggie daycare.”
“Sarah and Adam were fantastic! They had no hesitation when asked without much notice if they could watch our 10 week old pup to give us a much needed break from a hectic few months of life so that we could venture to a show we’d bought tickets for months back. They sent pictures throughout her entire stay. Will definitely be reaching back out again as Ziva was well cuddled and cared for while there and we are sure we will definitely be in need of a break again soon. Thank you!!!!”
“Anne was absolutely wonderful to work with. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and first time with River. She made the experience exceptionally pleasing. She’s a gem.”
“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 would definitely recommend Angie! She was very attentive to my dog Chip! My dog is reactive and she was very good about keeping the other dog away. She took him on a walk every day let him play outside and gave him lots of love and attention. She also sent me a picture every day. I would definitely recommend her!”
“She’s absolutely amazing!! If she’s available, I choose Torie every time!! She takes great care of your baby and reaches out throughout the day with pics or updates to ease your anxiety! Couldn’t recommend her more!! <3”
“Mai is an absolutely gem🙂 This was my first time using a pet sitter and she made the experience for both my pup and I nothing short of amazing! Right from the start my pup was calm and accepting with her and he is usually pretty vocal and active when first meeting new people. She was welcoming, reassuring and understanding all while showing lots of TLC. I really loved getting the pictures. They made me feel happy and comforted know he was adjusting well and enjoying himself. If you want someone who will care for your fur babies as you care for your fur babies Mai is the best! Thanks Mai😊”
“Heather is absolutely GREAT with dogs, having 4 of her own! She welcomes them with warm love and is so caring and attentive with each one. Gracie had a wonderful first time experience and will definitely be back as we have already booked a few more dates with Heather. I highly recommend her!”
About: We love animals very much, but we don't have any of our own. That’s why we look after our friends' pets. They leave their beloved animals with me for a week when they go on vacation, knowing they are in safe, loving hands. We have a camera in our apartment so we always are able to check your pets, even when we go to supermarket. I work from home, so I can give your pets plenty of attention. I can take them for walks more often than usual, play with them throughout the day, and shower them with love. I follow all feeding instructions. We are available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays. We live in an apartment with minimal furniture, safe for your pets, but we also have a large community area and a bark park. We allow sleeping on the sofa. We have a camera in our apartment so we are always able to check your pets, even when ww go to supermarket.
“My dogs had a great time at Teresa’s home! I have a coonhound mix who has more energy and she was great with her. We will use Teresa again for daycare services and would recommend her.”
“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 !”

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 $27.75 per day (as of July 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 .
As of July 2026, there are 2,371 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across East Lake. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 2,371 sitters in East Lake, 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.
