“Fist time Rover customer and first time I have ever left my puppy with anyone else besides my family so I was kind of nervous but everything went wonderfully. David and his dogs were amazing with my girl. It sounds like and looks like from all the great pictures they had a blast! I brought my dog over two days in a row for care while I was working and she was excited to go back on day 2. She seemed happy, well cared for, and had her energy out at pick up! Thank you again.”
“Melissa did an amazing job of caring for our 16 week old puppy Enzo. Her communication was great and made us so comfortable that Enzo was in good hands. Will be booking with here the next time we need care!”

About: Since I was 6 years old my family had dogs and cats as pets. All the dogs we had we got as puppies so I handled the potty training, taught tricks and the main obedience training like sit and stay. I've watched family and friends dogs which also included days/nights at a time like when they were out of town working. I have watched and been with tiny dogs to giant dogs. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pet pretty much at anytime day or night. I have a fenced yard so easy to let in and out as needed, big area take out or let out to play. My house is pretty open with area for them to roam or find good spot to just relax. I have never crated any of my animals but if needed or wanted obviously I could do that. If you have a special diet for your dog I would follow that for you also. My kids and I also love to go on walks and would love your dog to join. I do have three very young kids so your dog must get along with children. My kids love animals, they were very sad after losing our last dog so they'd be very excited to play with others. I am home daily with my kids, I only leave when I need to go to the store or take kids to an activity. So they won't be left alone for long if at all while in my care. I have a fenced in yard for a safe place to run and play while outside. My house is decent size so plenty of area and all open to them so they feel at home. You can bring whatever you think your animal needs to be comfortable.
“Kayti took great care of Sutton for the day in her home. She shared great pictures during the day of Sutton playing in the yard with other pups. It made our busy day of soccer games and grad parties easier to enjoy knowing our puppy was being well cared for. Thanks, Kayti!”
“Hannah was great with our puppy! Sent photos shortly after I left l, which put my mind at ease since this was the first time bringing him there. He seemed to love her and his time there! Will definitely use her again! She was also flexible with my pickup time as it shifted due to work. Thank you Hannah!”
“Sophia was very kind and welcoming of our pup. We received pics and updates throughout her doggy daycare experience. I felt that our dog was well cared for and loved during her stay.”
“I was so thankful that my dog could hang out with Kyle and Coco while we took a long day trip. When our plans changed, Kyle was understanding and accommodating. I would definitely book with Kyle again.”
About: I have many years of experience with dogs and have trained my own dogs my entire life! My experience ranges from small to giant breed dogs and I am comfortable with most any pet! My home has a fenced in backyard with turf grass and lots of toys to play with for your daycare or boarding needs! I also sanitize the toys and yard with a pet safe spray between pets to ensure everyone stays as healthy as possible! If you would like your fur baby to have more exercise than the fenced in yard we can always happily add on a walk to go see the neighborhood sites! I work from home and am free to provide lots of snuggles and playtime with your fur baby throughout the day! My job is very flexible and I also am able to do drop in visits in your own home as often as you may need and can stop by to go on as many walks per day as you wish! I am comfortable giving medications or giving extra care your pet may need! They are in great hands with me and are always treated as if they were my own! Since my days are so open and flexible I am able to accommodate almost anything you may need, just ask! Aside from a quick errand here or there, I am home and able to give constant attention while your pet(s) are in my care. I do have crates available if your dog needs to be crated if I need to run somewhere, or I am perfectly comfortable leaving them out to roam and snooze on the couch if that’s what they are used to! Aside from the backyard being fenced, I love to go on walks and give all the snuggles! My schedule is very easy to move around and I am not tied to the computer all day, so running to give potty breaks at your home or take your fur baby for a walk is always a task I love to make time for!
“Great first day with a wonderful family! This was our daycare practice day before his weekend stay next week. Brody was very happy and well cared for. We received wonderful pics and are very pleased with how it went.”
“Kristi took very good care of Thor during his stay! When I picked him up it seemed like he had a very eventful day! Even though it was a rainy he was still very clean as she made sure to clean him up before I got there! She made sure to answer my questions and send plenty of updates during the day! She went out of her way to answer a question I had when I was picking Thor up responding and getting an answer on her own time! I highly recommend Kristi's services! Thank you Kristi!”
“Maureen is a very animal loving person. She sent a picture and a video. By the info she provided about Studly I knew he really liked her!!! Even when we dropped him off he made himself at home instead of his usual separation anxiety issue. We highly recommend Maureen and will definitely use her again!!!”
About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.
“Great sitter. Very nice and sends pictures and videos throughout the day. Took great care of my dog and he got to play with another dog all day. She took him on multiple walks and to the dog park.”
“Highly recommend Christina! She’s a great dog sitter. She responded fast and professionally. Most importantly my dog was very worn out when I picked him up! Highly impressed with her service.”
The median cost per day for doggy day care in East Lake Francis Shores is $35
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - East Lake Francis Shores
Taylore is extremely easy to work with and communicates well! I wasn’t expecting full report from my pet’s day, but I loved seeing all of Taylore’s notes and photos. Lola was welcomed into the home with open arms and she didn’t even seem to want to leave when we picked her up. I have a very fragile dog and Taylore kept her safe throughout their adventures on the farm! Lola had a great time and we will definitely be using her again!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - East Lake Francis Shores
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 872 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across East Lake Francis Shores. 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 Francis Shores 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 MN 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 872 sitters in East Lake Francis Shores, 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.
