About: When you board with us, your pet gets more than a place to stay, your pet gets a family to be a part of. We are a family of 6 humans, 1 dog, and 5 chickens and 2 ducks. Your pet will have plenty of playmates! I am a single mother who works from home. I drop off and pick up my kids from school, and run the occasional errand, but usually I am home. I enjoy an evening walk with my chocolate lab and would love your pet to join us. I have a fully fenced, large backyard. I also have two extra crates if your dog is crate-trained and feels more comfortable sleeping in a crate. Pets being on furniture is discouraged, but rarely enforced. I have an SUV and am willing to transport pets if needed.

“Millie took wonderful care of my pup, PuPu! I’m usually nervous about leaving him with someone new since he has separation anxiety, but she really put my mind at ease. Her lovely outdoor space was perfect for the dogs, and she sent pictures of PuPu having fun with her dog, Toby. When I picked him up, he looked happy, relaxed, and clearly had a great time. I would absolutely recommend Millie and will definitely book with her again!”

“This is Louie’s second visit with Sarah. He was SO excited when we pulled up, his entire tail and lower half of his body was wagging and he was incredibly eager to go inside and play with the other dogs. And that is Louie’s review, which I believe would go something like this: “Mom, when can I go back and play?? Please??””

About: With many years of experience and a home full of kindness, we welcome every furry guest like family. After our own senior dog crossed the rainbow, our hearts have even more room. My mom and I work part-time, which means one of us is almost always home. Your pet will never feel lonely here — just cared for, watched over, and loved like family. I follow every instruction carefully and always respect each pet’s unique needs. Animals are like kids — they all have their own personality, comfort level, and routine. I make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for at all times.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since childhood, starting with helping family and neighbors whenever they went on vacation. I handled feeding, check‑ins, walks, and playtime, and I’ve continued caring for dogs ever since. With a lifetime of dog ownership, I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. One of my dogs is currently 17 years old. I am currently a stay at home Softball Mom. Along with my dogs, my other obligation includes taking care of my 12 year old daughter. I take her to practices and games and whatever else comes up. My dogs are fed twice a day and I take them out into our yard several times during the day. I have a fenced-in yard with a lot of room where your pet can safely play and exercise, and three friendly dogs to keep your pup company while it is away from home.

“Absolutely blessed to have found Lisa and her wonderful family. When I dropped Gunner off on day 2 he was super excited to see Lisa - that’s a great sign! While this was my first time ever being away from my little one, I felt totally comfortable while Lisa kept me well informed with pictures and messages throughout Gunners fun time! I believe we’ve found our second family for Gunner and with that said, I will highly recommend Lisa.”

I liked that she kept me informed of my puppy’s daily activities. I will continue to do weekly daycare with her. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a sitter.”

About: I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, pets with medical needs, and dogs living with dementia. I understand that every pet requires a different level of patience, attention, and care. Most importantly, we know how difficult it can be to leave your baby with someone else. I will follow your instructions closely, maintain their normal routine, and treat them with the same love, patience, and compassion we would want for our own. I work from home, so your baby will receive plenty of companionship, attention, and supervision throughout the day. They will never be left alone and can enjoy a comfortable routine with regular potty breaks, playtime, meals, cuddles, and relaxation. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. Our home offers cozy pet beds, pet-friendly couches, and a large, securely fenced yard with plenty of room to play and explore. I provide a clean, loving, and closely supervised environment where your baby can feel safe, relaxed, and right at home while you’re away.

About: Life-long dog lovers, my wife and I have each had dogs throughout our lives, and caring for them has always been a big part of who we are. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after 14 wonderful years, and while we're not quite ready to add another permanent member to our family with two young children, we have plenty of love, attention, and belly rubs to share with yours! Our home is a safe, family-friendly environment where your dog will be treated like one of our own. Whether we're providing overnight boarding, doggy daycare, drop-in visits, or walks, we'll make sure your pup feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for. We understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so we'll take the time to learn what makes them happiest—from energetic play sessions to leisurely walks or simply relaxing. As pet owners ourselves, we know how important it is to find someone you can trust. We'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your dog's stay so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Our goal is simple: to give your dog a fun, safe, and loving experience while giving you complete peace of mind. My wife and I have flexible schedules, and at least one of us works from home each day, so your dog will have plenty of company and won't be left alone for long periods. This allows us to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention throughout the day. We understand how important consistency is, so we'll do our best to follow your dog's normal routine for feeding, walks, naps, medications, and bedtime. Whether your dog is energetic and loves to play or prefers a slower pace with plenty of cuddles, we'll make sure they receive the individualized care and attention they deserve. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home from the moment they arrive until it's time to reunite with you. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We understand that leaving your pet with someone else is a big decision, and we'll treat them with the same love and care we'd want for our own. Our home provides a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where dogs are part of the family. We closely supervise all pets while they're in our care and follow their normal routines as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and reduce stress. We also provide regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and plenty of affection. Because we have two young children, we carefully screen each booking to ensure it's a good fit for everyone. We only accept dogs that are comfortable around children and have friendly, non-aggressive temperaments. All interactions are supervised to ensure a safe and positive experience for both your dog and our family. We'll also keep you updated throughout your dog's stay with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pup is in loving, capable hands.

“This was Monty's first time at a sitter's; he was abandoned in our neighborhood a few months ago, & we were nervous that he would think we were leaving him behind like his first family did. Sanja put our minds at ease, & Monty had a WONDERFUL day with her! He came running out to meet us bright-eyed & bushy-tailed, happy as can be. ☺️ He slept most of the way home & all night last night, so I would absolutely call his stay with Sanja a success. Highly recommend... & we'll definitely be using her again! Thank you so much, Sanja!”

Mary was amazing from the jump! I am new to the area and was worried about sending my dog off with someone I didn’t know but Mary immediately put me at ease. She asked questions, provided clarity, and wanted to make sure my dog and I were comfortable with everything. Would love to use her again!

Gunners DoggyDayCare with Donna was SO much fun. Donna kept me well informed throughout the day and made sure Gunner played and played so much that when we made our way home, he could barely keep his eyes open. 🐾 It is evident that Donna is compassionate about taking care of fur babies and we definitely look forward to coming back to see her for a fun day play date! 🥰🐶

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Fruit Cove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Fruit Cove on Rover is $36 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $44 per day. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 860 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Fruit Cove. 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 Fruit Cove 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 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 860 sitters in Fruit Cove, 89% 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.
