“Kayla was marvelous! Very welcoming and took good care of my baby. This was my first time leaving Wrigley with anyone and Kayla kept me up to date with how he was doing throughout the day which really put me at ease. Wrigley thoroughly enjoyed his day with Kayla’s fur baby, CoCo Puff! Wrigley will definitely be visiting again.”
“Carmin was a superb Doggy Day Care host. I can see why she's booked all the time! Aside from the dogs enjoying themselves, she's a great communicator—always prompt in returning messages, and sending lots of photos, as well. We hope to see her again—if she has an open date!”
“Maria saved the day! We were in town for graduation and our dog was whining when we left him at daughter’s new apartment. Maria was available immediately and she was so sweet, had a great house, yard, and son to help our dog feel better about staying in a new place. She also sent lots of pics and kept in touch so we wouldn’t have to worry.??”
About: I have had several cats throughout my life and enjoy taking care and spending time with them. I also love taking care of dogs and enjoy running and walking with them. I’m very patient with animals and will give them all the attention that’s needed. I’m available every day of the week! I am available early mornings and evenings and even open on the weekends! I’ll just need a heads up on the times before hand. I have a few cats that are indoor/outdoor, but always bring them in at night. I am very attentive to my animals and ones that I care for. I always give them time of the day to play and get their energy out. I am very energetic so I can give them walks and play time as much as possible.
“Leda is a such a sweet soul. You can tell that she truly loves animals and did such a wonderful job taking care of our special little girl! We felt completely comfortable and were able to enjoy a day out. Thank you so much. We will definitely be rebooking. :)”
“We were so happy to find Priscilla. While we live in another part of Florida, we needed to board our pup while in the area where we were visiting with family and spending Thanksgiving Day at their house. My son's dog doesn't get along with ours, so it was wonderful to find someone who could care for him during our visit. Priscilla was so good with him and she sent us photos and a video of him running in her yard with the other dogs. He looked so happy to have this play time. We will definitely consider boarding him with Priscilla the next time we plan a visit to our kids.”
“I made a last minute decision to have my pup go to doggy day care for the week while my other two dogs recovered from surgeries. Denys responded to my request quickly and was able to accommodate our times which I really didn't think anyone would do. She is a great person and my dog loves her and her whole family. My pup came home happy and tired every evening and she kept me updated throughout the stay. Denys did a great job keeping up with Furia's potty training, I think she may have actually gotten my pup to be better about going outside. I never worried about my dog and any time I did text I got a quick response with plenty of updates. I really enjoyed chatting with Denys, she is so sweet and I can tell she really loves what she does. I would absolutely recommend having her watch your pet, I know my pup had no shortage of attention over there and I really like that.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Mia! She is highly communicative, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Mia had an incredible day and came home happy and tired—which, as every dog owner knows, means she had a great time! Sarah also went above and beyond by accepting not one, but TWO last-minute bookings for me, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that Sarah genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Mia was so comfortable and happy with her. We’re both very happy customers, and Mia is already excited to go back tomorrow! 🐾🐾🐾 Thank you, Sarah! We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional Rover sitter.”
“Fahriye was amazing with our pup! It was so nice to have a safe place to take her for the day while we hosted a large gathering at our home. Even better was having Fay and her husband bring our dog back home for us! Will definitely use them in the future!”
“You can write it naturally in English like this: She took great care of Zion, and her children are adorable and very sweet. She kept me updated by sending photos and always letting me know how Zion was doing. Since he was still a puppy, I was a little worried, but he came back happy, healthy, and completely worn out from playing so much! 😊”
“She was fantastic! Buttercup felt very comfortable with her, I got Photo updates throughout the day, and I feel like it was the perfect fit for buttercup daycare! Highly recommend”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember and grew up around dogs my whole life! Growing up, my family had three dogs and we also regularly fostered, so I’ve been around all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and routines from a young age. Now, I pet sit frequently! I’m very patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals! Whether it’s long walks, throwing a ball, or just keeping them company while you’re away, I always want pets to feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to adapt to their personality and routine! I’m also very reliable and communicative, and I understand how important it is to fully trust the person caring for your pet. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of availability throughout the day for walks, check ins, etc! I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine/ I always want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away! I’m very patient and attentive, and I know every pet has a different personality and routine. I’m also happy to send photo updates throughout the day!
“We Absolutely love leaving Reese with Brandon and Brittany. They take such good care of him. As soon as we pull into their driveway, Reese starts whining to get out of the car and drags me to their front door to get into their home. He loves spending time with them and their family.”
About: Pet parents love leaving their dogs in my care because they know they don’t have to worry. I take the time to learn your dog’s routine, send regular updates with quality photos, and provide a cozy home sanctuary where your pup will be loved and cared for like my own.

Inside, pets enjoy a relaxed environment with cozy rest areas and plenty of attention. We will enjoy multiple walks per day in a quiet and safe neighborhood.
“Veronica was super sweet, great communication and so accommodating. She took on a last minute booking. Veronica made Sadie a room to get acclimated with her environment, before she got acclimated with Veronica. She sent me updates w pictures. But most of all she provided safe environment w lots of love for Sadie.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Forest City
We needed a daycare spot for a few days with a nice yard for our high energy pup as our fence was getting replaced. When looking for a sitter, Jonathan and Jennifer checked all of the boxes. We are so thankful for you both welcoming Sailor into a safe and fun environment. We received regular updates with photos (some of those were hilarious). She came home happy after each visit and was excited to see them every morning we dropped her off. We will definitely reach out in the future!!
We had such a great experience and couldn’t be happier! He was an excellent communicator from start to finish, always keeping us in the loop and making us feel completely at ease while we were away. We especially loved receiving the regular photo updates—it was so reassuring to see our dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear he genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. We came home to a relaxed, happy pup, which says everything. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone reliable, attentive, and thoughtful to watch their dog!
Denys is very caring with Zoey. She sends us daily reports and is very honest with her feedback. I appreciate the pictures and updates. Zoey was having digestive issues this time around. Denys was patient, sent me the videos I requested, and communicated with me often answering all of my questions about Zoey’s well being. Zoey stays with Denys often. Zoey arrives to Denys’ house and walks in like it is her house without looking back. That gives me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Denys.
Christina was great with watching my Lucy! We did a daycare session before a longer boarding request to make sure that Lucy would be comfortable in the space. Christina is very communicative and willing to answer any and all questions that I have! Don’t hesitate to reach out to her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Forest City on Rover is $29.97 per day (as of August 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 Forest City 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 2,222 sitters in Forest City, 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.
