About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have cared for pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors over the years. Through those experiences I’ve learned that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always try to make them feel safe and at home. I’ve also cared for senior dogs, including administering injectable medication to my own dog when she became diabetic, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of following care instructions carefully. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a quiet environment, I’ll provide attentive care, regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. Our schedules allow us to provide pets with plenty of attention and companionship throughout their stay. While there may be times when pets are home alone, we typically plan our schedules so they are not left alone for more than about 4 hours at a time. We plan around each booking as much as possible to maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. We’re always happy to discuss your pet’s routine and supervision needs before. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and organized home where every pet receives individual attention. Before each stay, I take time to learn your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide the best possible care. Since I don’t have a fenced yard, every walk and potty break is supervised, and I never leave pets outside unattended. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you always know how they’re doing.
“Renee was an amazing sitter for our pup! She was kind, attentive, and truly treated him like one of her own. A great bonus was that her dog was nice playmate, which kept our pup happy and entertained. She sent photos and videos throughout the stay, which we really appreciated. We also ended up needing a little extra time for pickup, and Renee was incredibly accommodating and flexible. We’re so grateful for her care and would definitely book with her again!”
About: Hey pet parents! My name is Skyla & I am genuinely one of the biggest dog lovers you will EVER meet. 🐾🤎 Why board with me? I love having dogs stay with me and want them to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away! ALL dogs get plenty of attention, walks, and lots of playtime in my fully fenced yard. I have plenty of toys and treats, and they’re welcome on the furniture and encouraged to make themselves at home. Each dog will also have their own dedicated doggie bedroom to sleep and relax in. I keep crate time to a minimum, so they’ll spend most of their time out with me playing, on a walk, hanging out with or without my resident dogs, or getting some rest. Your dog doesn’t have to be dog-friendly to stay with me. If they’d rather play with me, have their own space, or do their own thing, that’s completely fine! I’m happy to give each dog the kind of attention they’re most comfortable with. For everyone’s safety, dogs must be housebroken, crate trained, flea-free, and comfortable around people. I treat every dog like they’re part of the family and will make sure they get lots of love and attention while they’re here! I also have a boarding FB page if you’d like to check me out further: The Dog House Pet Boarding All dogs get daily exercise + play time & mental stimulation…this includes walks around the neighborhood. My job is very flexible so I am home most of the time. I do have crates available for your dog to stay in if you wish. My home is furnished with plenty of dog toys and treats, so your pup will always be occupied! Fresh water is always available. My pets are allowed on the furniture, so your dog will feel at home.
“Larry is just great. He's a really nice guy and a gentleman, which is nice to come across these days. We talked to him for 2 minutes and it was clear to us how much he loves the dogs he cares for. We were totally confident leaving our little Sushi with him. Larry sent some terrific photos and touched base throughout the day. We visit the area pretty often and Larry's now our go to sitter in NE Florida. Nice to know that Sushi has a loving family to visit when we're here. Thanks so much, Larry. See you soon.”
“Here for the weekend and wanted our boy to go have fun and meet new friends. Megan took great care of our boy, giving him treats, cuddle time on the couch watching tv, and was a perfect overall experience couldn't be happier! Will be back in Jacksonville on more work outings and will definitely bring him back!”
“I just love Graceann...and so do our pups! They love going to see Graceann and the rest of the family. And how fun that the beach is just right there for a great walk! I also love how knowledgeable Graceann is about dog behavior and her willingness to help train our stubborn terrier 2 year old when he comes for daycare!”
“Linda was OUTSTANDING...providing last-minute care for my dachshund mix while I was visiting the island for family vacation. She responded promptly, sent lots of updates and pictures, and was very accommodating to our travel schedule. She is located a short distance from many hotels and resorts on Amelia island so it was no problem to drop and pick up my pup. I would definitely book her again and give her my highest recommendation. Rocky loved her too!”
“Lana was responsive and warm from the start, took care of my baby at the last minute for us and it went great. First time using a dog sitter but we will be repeat customers.”
“Wendy is an amazing dog sitter. She is so professional and knowledgeable about our furry friends. She looked after my dog Lily for 5 days and Lily was so happy. I received many updates through out my day via videos , photos, and texts. I totally trust Wendy to dog sit my dog at anytime. I am very satisfied.”
“Thomas & Cara are friendly and received Marly with open arms, She did well with their dog and she was pleasant according to Cara. Photos included for a short visit today. I will not have hesitate rebooking with this couple in the future.”
“Thank you so much Shannon!! The pups had so much fun and really enjoyed their new friends. I greatly appreciate you taking care of them on such a short notice. You are a definite keeper.”
About: Hi! My name's Gisselle I’m 26, an animal lover, and part of a proud military family. I got into pet boarding as a way to help my family financially while also pursuing something I genuinely love—caring for animals . Growing up with different animals helped develope an understanding that can only come with experience. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with dogs and my commitment to providing exceptional care. I've cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including fostering and rescuing dogs from neglectful situations. Through hands-on experience and self-education in canine behavior and training, I've developed the skills to understand and meet each dog's unique needs. Whether caring for playful puppies, active adults, or senior dogs, I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment that gives pet owners peace of mind. I'm currently unemployed and have a great support system of friends and my spouse who LOVE dogs. Not tied to many commitments, leaving me free to be present & dog sit day/night. Typically only gone to do errands. Which isn't more than 2 hrs at a time. Available Mon-Sun for nights and days. I understand the concerns that come with leaving your fur baby in the care of someone you may not know. My goal is not only to provide your pup with quality care, but to ensure they are treated with the same love, attention, and compassion I would give my own. A few of the protocols I have in place when your pup boards with me include, but are not limited to: regular photo and video updates, testimonials and reviews from previous clients, and passing my Rover background. For your pet’s safety, I am always physically present when they are outside to help prevent any potential escapes or elopements. I also have cameras on the property to monitor the surroundings, and I keep the contact information and locations of nearby veterinarians and animal hospitals readily available in case of an emergency.
“Eboni was very professional. She was prompt, accomodated my healthcare early hour arrival, communicated well and a wonderful caregiver for Blue. I look forward to Blue returning again soon.”
“Kaitland is so amazing. She’s responsive, so gentle, and her communications is always on point. We baby our 10-year old frenchie, and Kailand and her daughters are the most amazing and trusted pals we could have had asked for. 10/10 - would definitely book again”

I also have 3 sweet dogs to make you pup(s) comfortable when they are staying with me.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and have experience caring for my own Siberian Husky, Bluey. I understand the importance of keeping dogs safe, active, and on their normal routine. I’ll treat your pet like family by providing plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, fresh water, and lots of love. I know every dog is different, and I’ll follow your care instructions to make sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m home most of the day, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, and supervision. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I only take one family’s pets at a time so I can give them my full attention. I always supervise dogs while they’re outside and follow each owner’s instructions carefully.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 648 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Franklintown. 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 Franklintown 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 648 sitters in Franklintown, 87% 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.
