“Ashlee is great with my baby basset hound Owen. He seems to love being in her care and she watches him while I’m at work during the week. It’s a perfect way to socialize your pup by putting your furry friend with her, as she has her own little pup daycare! ❤️”
About: What sets me apart is how quickly I build trust and comfort with animals. I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs — whether that’s burning energy with structured play, working on positive-reinforcement training, or providing calm, steady care for older pups. I focus on creating a stress-free experience for both pets and owners with dependable communication and thoughtful updates. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because it has always been a big part of my life. I’m retired from CCPS, and I’ve had dogs of all kinds for as long as I can remember. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking since my early 20s, and now that I’m retired, I finally get to enjoy doing it full-time. My days are flexible, and caring for pets is something I truly love — not something I squeeze in. I tailor my care to what each client and pet needs. I can do drop-in visits at your home for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. If you prefer boarding, I can welcome your pet into my home where they’ll have a safe, relaxed space and plenty of attention. My goal is to provide whatever style of care works best for your pet’s routine and comfort.
About: I love all animals! But especially dogs! I used to foster and rescue when I lived in Las Vegas, otherwise i’ve had dogs and watched dogs for 30 years, they are my absolute favorite! I specialize with senior dogs, puppies, high energy, whatever it may be!! All animals should be living their best life and be in the best home! They deserve all the love!! I take a lot of pics and videos when I watch them! :) A lot of walks, sniffs, cuddles, toys, bones, and lots of couches and chairs and beds!! I also do home and pet watch in Miromar Lakes and Stoneybrook in Estero. Would love to watch your family member if you are away, you can’t enjoy your vacation unless you know your pet is in good hands!! I’m at home right now all the time studying and doing side jobs so whenever works! I’m available 24/7 days a week right now. I live in a dog friendly neighborhood in Stoneybrook in Estero, screened in lanai, lots of couches and chairs and dog beds all around! Big box of dog toys and bones to chew :)
“Always greeted cheerfully. Our dog wallked right up to the front door, even though it’s only her second visit, which shows how comfortable she is going there. Very caring dog lover!”
“Eric did great with Roscoe! Frequent updates with pictures on how their day was going which definitely put my mind at ease. It was my first time using rover and Eric made it a great first experience! Will definitely use Eric again in the future, thank you!”
“Megan was amazing. She picked my girl up and came early so we could chat about what I was looking for. Megan took my pup out and about for a day on the town, and she came home soft, tired, and happy. It was perfect. We can’t wait to see her again. Highly recommend!”
“Nina was an incredible sitter for our one year old puppy and gave her lots of love, attention, and play time. We appreciated the photos Nina shared throughout the day and highly recommend her. Your dog will be in very loving hands. Thank you, Nina!”
“We just moved to Estero and we are very lucky to have found Cassandra ! We have 2 Westies doggies, a boy and a girl, and they loved Cassandra immediately. She is very caring, professional and extremely warm with our babies. She communicated timely with us and sent us pictures of how they were doing. Thank you Cassandra, we are looking forward to bringing the puppies back soon !”
“Erika was the best! This was Coppers first doggy daycare and he loved it ! She paid attention to him, gave him walks, and he enjoyed playing with her dog as well. She communicated with me throughout the day, which made me feel at ease since we are not from this area. I highly recommend Erika and I will use her every time we are back here.”
About: We’ve cared for many dogs over our lifespan- combined of 36 years. From small to big, high energy to very little, our house is the perfect fit. We’ve crate trained and potty trained all our dogs and no longer use a crate for any purpose however still have one available. We go on several walks a dog around our neighborhood and have a spacious lanai patio and fenced in backyard with a pool. With part time hours and someone always typically being home, the only time we are out are for sports Saturday mornings for a max of 2 hours. Pets are always welcome to join us if appropriate as we are always at a pet friendly park and our pup loves to join. Morning and afternoon walks are a must as we are an active family and spend our days outside anyway. We have a fenced yard and a lanai in our backyard. We have gates for indoor if needed as well as a crate. Water bowls are available all over the house!
About: With over 18 years of experience in pet care, I provide compassionate, reliable, and personalized attention to every animal I care for. I specialize in individualized routines, enriching walks, and safe, comfortable boarding experiences that feel like home. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s gentle care for seniors, patient training for puppies, or simply maintaining a familiar routine to keep them happy and stress-free. My goal is to build trust not only with your pet but with you, offering peace of mind every time you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home full-time with open availability, which means your pet will receive consistent care and attention throughout the day. I truly love being there for animals when they need it most—whether they’re adjusting to a new routine, need extra comfort, or just a little extra love while you're away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and welcoming space where animals feel secure and loved. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, toys, and quiet spots to relax—always supervised and tailored to their individual needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow established routines closely to minimize stress and maintain familiarity. Building trust is key, so I take time to bond with each pet, earning their comfort through gentle handling, consistency, and genuine care.
About: Having worked for a polo club, I have hands-on experience with horses, and I also care for cats, dogs, and chickens at home. This background has given me a broad understanding of the specific needs and behaviors of different animals. My volunteer work at animal shelters and shadowing at veterinary clinics have increased my knowledge of animal care, behavior, and health, equipping me to handle various situations with confidence and compassion. I've recently decided to join Rover again to make some extra money as a student. I would be happy to help you and your fur baby! I'm currently a student at FGCU and I currently do not have a job so I have a ton of free time to take care of your animals! I live in an apartment currently. I take my dog out at least 4 times a day and I take him to the dog park almost everyday!
About: I have been loving our pom for over 10 years now. I have been fortunate to have had pet birds, cats, a turtle, chickens and pigs. They are all God's creation and deserve to be treated like family members. I have had many great experiences with these pets. I have also had to administer meds to our pom over the years. I look forward to welcoming your fur family. I am recently retired and available all days except Monday evenings and Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I will be available all at all other times. Pets are treated like family members. I live in a community where it is easy to walk dogs. I have a yard where dogs can enjoy the outdoors,
About: Experienced pet owner and lover with 8 years of volunteer experience. I am comfortable with energetic puppies, large breeds, senior pets, and administering medications. I provide a safe, loving, and fun environment for your furry family members. Plus, I love taking pictures, so you'll get lots of happy photo updates while you're away! I am currently taking a break from my full-time career, my schedule is completely open. This allows for mid-day adventures, flexible potty breaks, and unlimited cuddles—your dog will literally never be alone. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home is clean, safe, and fully pet-proofed. I have a secure environment and am vigilant about preventing escapes or accidents. To help them feel right at home, dogs are absolutely allowed on the furniture—couches and beds are welcome here! (Just let me know your rules at home so I can stay consistent).
“Feliiz quede con tu servicio! Mil gracias por hacer de Mia un Día Tan Lindo y dedicarle el tiempo Gracias por haberla tratado con tanto cariño Estoy demasiado agradecida Me sentí súper tranquila todo mi día! Supe que estaba en muy buenas manos… y realmente así fue! Se que ella disfruto al 100%”
About: I have 3 dogs and a cat and they range from 1-10 I know a lot about care and health and would love the opportunity to take care of your animals. I am currently enrolled as a full time college student at FGCU and on the days I don’t have class I would love to take care of your pets. My availability will be in my schedule. I can offer any service for your dog, if it is walking, letting them out in your backyard, or staying with them for company. I love playing with them too!
About: I just want a furry best friend to spoil! Your pup will have their own little vacation while you’re away. I am an expert ball thrower, a tireless petter—and a devoted cuddler (if that’s your dog’s style). I’ll send you send tons of cute updates of all our adventures so you don’t miss a beat. And if your pup plays well with others, there’s a park nearby that I like to take my guests to. Staying with me will surely be a pawrty! 🐾 About the Space: There are no children in the home. I have a golden doodle named Ollie, who is about to be 3. He’s a total goofball and he LOVES other dogs, and he’s super gentle even with much smaller pups! My house is near lots of parks and grassy areas for your pup to play. Message me if you have any questions or want to schedule the vacation of your pup’s dreams! I work from home a few days out of the week and live just 10 minutes from the office, meaning your pup will never be alone for long. 😊 I adapt to your pet’s needs. I love to go on little adventures with the pups, whether that be taking them on a hike or to the park, or sometimes just bringing them out to dinner with me. I like to make sure my pups get lots of love and don’t get bored!

I'm so fortunate to have such amazing dog sitters with Rover. Eric, my most recent dog sitter was absolutely wonderful. My dog, Howie was very happy staying with him and his little fur baby for over 5 hours. Can't say enough positive things about my experience. The pictures Eric sent me were very reassuring that my little man was well taken care of and having so much fun. Thank you Eric Sharon Firlit
The only problem with his time with Alex will be that Winston will find us boring 😋 He had so much fun this week hanging with her and her pups. It was so wonderful to pick up a tired happy pup at the end of a day of hockey camp. He had as much fun as his human boy :)

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Estero
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Estero on Rover is $38 per day (as of July 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 Estero 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 549 sitters in Estero, 86% 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.
