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 have four dogs of my own, Bunny, Ginger, Blue, and Amigo. I have had all my dogs since they were puppies and they are very well behaved and friendly. I have had a strong passion and so much love for dogs since I was little. When your dog boards with me, you have the option to allow them to play with my dogs or stay separate. Regardless-they will get so much affection. I do require food to be supplied by owner so we can avoid any belly aches. They will get lots of attention here, playtime in the yard, & walks if you choose. This will be their home away from home! I can assure you-they will be safe, fed, and happy. Feel free to ask any questions:) My dogs get daily exercise and play time & mental stimulation. Lots of walks around the neighborhood. My job is very flexible so I am home most of the time. I do have one crate 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.
“More than anything, we wanted a big, open yard. Larry has a fabulous yard! Scruff had a great time! Larry's a perfect dog person..relaxed, easygoing, doesn't get excited about much. Scruff jumped up to Larry's lap and said, "How about I come play with Jackson?" We will work out a nice playdate schedule for Jackson and Scruff.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 was awesome! Her place was perfect for my two dogs. Had a nice fenced back yard, lots of toys and safe neighborhood. She sent daily updates with lots of pics! Which we really liked. Highly recommend. Thank you!”
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.
“My pup, bandit, had a great time. I scheduled a day care for Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursday, as soon as I pulled into the drive way, Bandit got really excited. Jerome sent pictures both days and updates, he even fed him dinner which wasn’t necessary since I plan on feeding him when he got him but it was super kind of him!! Bandit is a high energy dog and when he got home all he did was sleep which is great! I would definitely recommend Jerome and I would use him again. He was very nice and accommodating, treating my dog as his own :)”
“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.”
“Oli had a fantastic day with Eboni while I explored Cumberland Island. She and her kiddos clearly gave Oli so much love and attention! If I ever travel in the area again, I would 10/10 book!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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”

“Tracy and her husband were absolutely amazing. This was our first time using river and I could be happier. My initial message was responded to within minutes, she sent photo and video updates throughout the day, and was great at initiating the initial interaction between our pups and hers. One of my dogs is pretty timid around new people and by the end of the day, she was so comfortable with Tracy! We are so thankful they were available for this last minute booking and will be returning if we are ever in need of a sitter in the area again.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Franklintown
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.
