“My dog enjoyed his stay with Martin and Susie, he had a lot of space to roam around both outside and inside and he had other doggies to play with that the day flew by for him! He slept on the entire drive home! I also loved the photo updates throughout the day! Thank you!”
“Anna was amazing with my puppy Sadie, She showed the upmost care and love for my puppy as if it was her own. Anna was also very flexible with drop off time and took my puppy in on short notice! Simply amazing!”
“This was the first time we used Rover for Zelda and we are super glad we chose Don to watch her. We told him that Zelda has a habit of taking things off of tables and counters and he “Zelda proofed” his house for us. She came home happy and safe, which is all we could wish for. We will be using Don again. Thanks Don!”
“Leela was great watching Melo! During his stay, she kept me updated on how he was doing and also sent pics of him. She even accommodated us by keeping him a little longer due to a last minute emergency. Thank you so much Leela for treating my pet like your own. I will definitely rebook!”
“Jonathan was always excellent with my dog! I got lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. Bella absolutely loved going and would run full speed into doggy day care. Thank so much for taking such great care of her!”
About: I have two wonderful and playful fur babies myself. I love them like there’s my own children. I find it hard when I unfortunately have to be away and trying to find a trusty sitter to look after my babies but thank God for Rover, this app is amazing and is a game changer. I decided to add myself on the list of best sitter of this sit to help families in need. Very flexible now that I'm done with my classes and it’s summer vacation I have more time to attend the fur babies and help more families The goal is to make the parent’s life easier. If being at the client’s home is required that’s no problem if it make it easier to bring them at my place that’s also find

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have taken care of all sizes of dogs. I would love the chance to take care of your pup it would make me so happy and I’ll take such good care of him/her:) I have helped trained two puppies and also have taken care of my senior dog with all his meds and needs. With years of experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior companions, I provide personalized and attentive care that sets me apart from other sitters. I have a deep understanding of animal behavior, which helps me cater to each pet’s unique needs—whether it’s offering special care for older pets with mobility issues or engaging young, playful animals with stimulating activities. I’m also experienced in administering medications and following specific dietary plans. My commitment to keeping pets comfortable and happy in their familiar routine ensures peace of mind for owners while they’re away. I’m currently working part time so I have lots of time to take your pup on a walk! I am available Monday - Sunday ! As a pet sitter, my care approach varies depending on whether I’m taking care of pets in my home or at my client’s home. Here’s an outline of my typical care routine for both scenarios: Caring for Pets in My Home: • Safe Environment: I create a pet-friendly space, ensuring there are no hazards (such as small objects or toxic plants) and provide a comfortable, clean area for the pets to relax and play. • Exercise & Playtime: Pets get regular exercise and play sessions based on their needs—whether that’s daily walks, interactive play, or simply cuddling and lounging. • Feeding & Hydration: I follow specific feeding instructions, including meal times, portions, and any special dietary needs. Fresh water is always available. • Sleep Arrangements: Pets have cozy, designated areas to rest, whether it’s a crate, bed, or blanket, depending on what they’re comfortable with. • Grooming & Hygiene: Regular grooming is provided, including brushing, cleaning eyes and ears, and ensuring litter boxes or potty areas are clean. • Health & Medication: If pets are on medication or need special care, I carefully administer treatments as per the owner’s directions. Caring for Pets in Client’s Home: • Home Security: I maintain the security of the home by following any specific instructions regarding entry and exit, locking doors, and managing alarms. • Familiar Environment: Pets get the comfort of being in their own home, which can reduce stress. I ensure their regular routine is followed as closely as possible. • Exercise & Feeding: Just like in my home, I ensure pets get their regular walks, exercise, feeding schedule, and playtime. This might also include activities like yard time or neighborhood strolls. • Mail & Plants: I often provide additional services such as collecting mail or watering plants, as requested by the client. • Updates: I send regular updates and photos to the owners to assure them that their pet is happy and well-cared for in their absence. Regardless of the location, my goal is to create a safe, loving environment for pets and maintain consistency in their care routine to keep them comfortable and happy.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, so I’m truly a dog lover. 🐶❤️I’ve owned and cared for chihuahuas, Frenchies, a husky, and I currently have a sweet poodle. I have experience watching both small and large dogs, which has helped me become a confident and experienced sitter who can handle all kinds of personalities and needs. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I plan my days around feeding times, potty breaks, walks, and play, so dogs get consistent attention and a predictable routine. I make sure they have time to exercise, time to relax, and plenty of affection and mental stimulation, whether that’s sniffy walks, toys, or quiet cuddle time. My goal is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while they’re with me. 🐾 I keep things small, safe, and personal. I only watch up to 3 dogs at a time, so your pup isn’t lost in a crowd and gets plenty of one on one attention all day. I have a big fenced yard with grass, so they can run and play, but they’ll always be inside the house in the air conditioning when they’re not out for supervised potty breaks or playtime. I’ve had dogs my whole life and I’m a true dog lover. I also have a super sweet, friendly poodle that I treat like my own kid, and he loves having new doggie friends over. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re staying in a second home loved, comfortable, and well cared for the whole time you’re away. 🐾💕

I highly recommend Alejandro & his wife. They are extremely reliable, caring, and always take great care of my puppy. It comforts me knowing my puppy is in good care whenever I leave him there. My puppy is always so excited and happy to go to their house, which tells me everything about how loved and comfortable he feels there. I truly appreciate the kindness, and care they provide every time.
Mikayla was amazing! Coco stayed with her during the day while I was at a baby shower, and she took such good care of her. She kept me updated, sent me photos, and made me feel so comfortable. What really touched me was that her whole family was waiting for Coco in front of their house when we arrived — it was so sweet!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Golden Lakes on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of September 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 Golden Lakes 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 1,761 sitters in Golden Lakes, 85% 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.
