About: Hello! I have been an animal lover/owner all my life. I currently have a pup named Page who is a year and 2 months old and a previous pet Mia, who was epileptic and took daily medications to thrive. This helped to build my love and patience for pets! We enjoy going for car drives, exploring new trails, and beach days when the weather permits. I know that there can be angst when it comes to having to book a pet sitter as I too just started using the service. I have met some amazing pet care givers and decided I would love to try my hand since I have had so many years of experience with puppies, cats and adult dogs. My home space is very peaceful. I have a back yard that is fenced in for play time or just to sun bathe. I am also open to coming to your home for your convenience. If you have any questions or would like to have a phone call feel free to message me :) I work from home so I am blessed with the ability to be very hands on with my pet (and yours!) . We take frequent walks and potty breaks and typically work on a daily set schedule yet we are very flexible. I have a fenced backyard for potty breaks, play and sun bathing. I also have a spare bedroom in which I have a medium size cage, and other pet materials. You are more than welcome to bring your own cage and or any items that your pet would love to have in your absence.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience from caring for my own dog, who is about 100 pounds! Having a large dog has made me very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also trained her myself, so I have experience with basic commands, routines, leash walking, and being patient and consistent. I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your pet, so I’ll always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and love. I’ll treat every pet I care for like they’re my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine, and I have a pretty flexible schedule that allows me to make plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m used to planning my day around my own dog’s needs, so caring for pets is already a normal part of my everyday life. I’m also flexible throughout the week and can work with different schedules depending on what you and your pet need! I always make safety and comfort my top priorities when caring for someone’s pet. I’ll follow any instructions and routines the owner provides, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific rules they have for their pet. I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and are never put in an unsafe situation. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’ll also be respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, so I’ll always care for them like I would my own!

About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while away. I’ve taken care of anywhere from small dogs for large dogs and even fish. I am currently a 4th year college student so I will have plenty of time on the weekdays and weekends. My schedule is very flexible all days of the week. I live at a safe apartment complex and I have no pets of my own so your pet will be safe and sound. I have a couple dog toys that I am more than happy to share.

About: I’ve had my own dog for the past three years, so I understand how much love, attention, and patience our furry friends need. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether they’re energetic and ready to play, love going for walks, or prefer a relaxing day with lots of cuddles, I’m happy to meet them where they are. My goal is to give every dog the same care, attention, and love I’d want for my own! I only have 1-2 classes a day and nothing on the weekends so I have plenty of time to give your babies lots of love ❤️ I have one chihuahua who is very chill, playful and loves new friends. I also have a big 1 acre fenced area that I can take the dogs to walk and play off the leash as much as they want. Inside I let the animals roam and play freely (Blyss has plenty of toys to share) but I can also have them separated if needed. I also love to give treats if allowed!

“Cami was a lifesaver for four hours when I need to be at the cancer hospital with my mom. Her location was perfect for anyone using the UF hospital system. She spoiled my little rat terrier! Thanks for helping my daughter and I during a stressful time. Will definitely book again if needed.”

About: Loving & Experienced Pet Care You Can Trust! 🐾 Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up surrounded by cats and dogs, and today I’m a proud pet parent to 6 dogs, 3 cats, and a variety of other amazing animals—including sugar gliders, turtles, fish, mice, snakes, and lizards. 🩷 I have cared for dogs of all ages—from fragile newborn puppies to seniors needing extra love and patience. I’m experienced in providing special care for older pets and am attentive to any unique needs or quirks they may have, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. With over 6 years of professional experience as a veterinary technician, animal care specialist, and groomer, I bring both expertise and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. Whether it’s walks, feeding, overnight stays, administering special care, or simply giving them extra affection, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m currently working off of my own schedule so I have a ton of flexibility! I can do same day appointments and adjustments if needed! When providing care in either my home or a client’s home, my priority is to ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any special instructions provided—whether it’s feeding routines, medication, or unique care needs—so your pet’s normal routine is maintained as closely as possible. I give each pet plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, and if treats are allowed, I’m happy to use them as part of positive interactions. I truly treat every pet as if they were my own, offering snuggles, companionship, and the highest level of care so they feel happy and secure while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid! I love them so dearly and would love to look after your babies! I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs big and small, high energy and couch potato’s, as well as senior dogs. Most recently lost my own senior dog to cancer so rest assured I am well versed in caring for our sweet elder babies with medical needs who require a bit more supportive care. I love being around animals and would be happy to help care for yours. I work from home and live with my partner who also loves animals! Outside of work I have availability after 5 pm Mon-Fri and am available most weekends. Caring for pets would depend on each independent pet's needs so I’d be happy to discuss what that looks like :) I also live right next to a beautiful and big park which is perfect for walks!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I grew up with dogs and have experience training them myself, which has helped me develop patience and understand different animals’ personalities and needs. I also love going on walks, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air, exercise, and outdoor time. My apartment even has a dog park where they can run around and play! I have a Goldendoodle named Charlie, who is incredibly friendly with other animals. His best friend is a miniature poodle, and his sister is my cat, Twinkle Toes! Having both a dog and a cat has given me experience with different types of pets and their unique personalities. I’ve also pet-sat for friends and family, and I genuinely enjoy making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles! I am currently in college full time online. I spend most of my time home unless I am running errands. My days consist of homework, walking my dog, reading, and exercising. I have a dog and a cat both friendly with other dogs. I have plenty of toys for them to play with. There is a dog park at my apartment complex as well as plenty of places to do on walks. I have a screened in patio if they want to sit outside or play outside.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats. I want to help you with whatever you need, and make things easier and comfortable. I am able to follow specific instructions, and do whatever is needed to welcome the pet into my home or at make them comfortable at yours. I am currently looking for work opportunities, so I am home often/most of the day, so I will be able to play and hang with your animals for a bit, or be with them often if they are at mine. I take care of my animals everyday so it is not a big deal to add an extra. I have a fenced in back yard to let the dogs run free and three dogs and a cat at home. They will have at least one play partner to hang with them (the other two are a bit more reserved, but are good with others) or if you would like them separated, that is also okay. I am also able to walk the dogs if they need more exercise than just running around. I am willing to come to you if that is preferred and let your pets out or walk them. I do have a spare cage that can be used for your pet if you forget yours.

About: I’ve been around animals since I was 3 years old, and caring for them has always been my passion! I currently have one dog, Mavis, and three cats. Mavis is 1 year old, very sweet, and loves other dogs. We go to the dog park every day, so I’d be happy to include your pup if they enjoy it too! I recently lost my 11-year-old dog to cancer, so I have personal experience caring for a senior pet and administering medications. I’m comfortable giving medications as needed and providing extra patience and care to senior or special-needs pets. Whether your pet is staying in my home, I’m caring for them in your home, or we’re going for a walk, my goal is to keep them happy, safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. My three cats are very relaxed and can be separated if needed. They love meeting new animals, especially kittens. I’m also happy to accommodate pets who prefer their own space or need to be kept separate from other animals. Animals are truly my passion, and I want every pet I care for to feel loved and like family. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. I currently have three cats and my dog, so I’m used to having a consistent routine with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention. I don’t currently work outside the home, so I’m home most of the time and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day and accommodate different feeding, walking, medication, and care routines. Mavis and I also go to the dog park every day. Because I’m home so often, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I’m able to be there for pets who need extra company, frequent potty breaks, or additional care. 🐾 I always try to keep pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, pets have a safe, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and affection. I can also keep visiting pets separated from my cats or dog if they aren’t comfortable around other animals. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual feeding, walking, medication, potty, and bedtime routines. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I treat every pet like family. 🐾

About: My entire life I’ve lived and cared for dogs in all shapes in sizes. From stubby Corgis to big, fluffy Bernese mountain dogs, or my wonderful pack of Australian cattle dogs back home. I was the one largely responsible for the care of my family’s elderly Berner, Diogi (pronounced D-O-G) in his final years of life. I’ve fostered and raised several new born puppies of varying temperament and seen them off to loving families, but I’m most proud of the unbreakable bond I’ve formed with who I would call my “soul-dog”, Winnie, my red Australian cattle dog whom I love more dearly than anything. Unfortunately she had to stay behind when I moved to Gainesville for college, but I get to see her often enough. I work on the side in retail as well as attend school full time. Despite this, my schedule is flexible and I have days throughout the week I am 100% free for anything. My regular school days see me out before 1PM. When I do work, I typically go in early afternoon (~2PM) and leave around 8-10PM. I live in an apartment complex which has several grassy areas to use the bathroom and get some sniffs in.. Nearby there are several nature trails as well as quite a few dog parks within walking distance. I do own a car which I am willing to use to drive to other locations for longer walks/new environments.

About: Hello, I am an animal lover of all kinds. I have always had a dog and cat among other pets in my life, whether by others or my own. In the past I volunteered as a fur baby foster parent and was fur mommy to a beautiful girl "Chula" 🐶 we adopted in 2000 and sadly after 17 years got her wings. My family and I always include our fur babies in everything, at holidays, sometimes it seemed to be more dogs 🐶 of all sizes then people 😊. I want to help you feel at ease and have piece of mind when you are away by providing the utmost respect, fun and care for an important member of the family☺️ I can provide a loving and warm inviroment with 3 arces fully fenced yard. I have cared for chickens, pot belly pigs, birds am always ready to try more 😁 My schedule allows for plenty of time for cuddles, furbaby love, feeding, walks, outside time, potty time and entertaining, or just lounging hanging out 🙂 I offer the utmost respect to others and fur babies! They will receive love and feel at home and most importantly do everything I can for you and your fur baby to be comfortable. We have 3 acres fully fenced in, so plenty of room to let out energy and playtime 🙂

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Evinston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 386 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Evinston. 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 Evinston 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.

As of October 2026, there are 386 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of FL. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 386 sitters in Evinston, 88% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
