“I needed daycare for my Sully last minute and Patricia answered me right away. Her backyard is beautiful and every small dog’s dream! She sent me pictures and videos through the day and made me feel better knowing he was well taken care of. I would definitely use Patricia again and recommend her! Thank you Patricia!! ??”
About: I’m a stay at home mom with lots of time, attention, and love to give your pups. Dogs have always been a big part of my life and I love getting to know their personalities, routines, and little quirks. I’m happy to provide a calm, welcoming home where they can relax and feel at ease while you’re away :) I’m home most of the day with my son, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout their stay. I'm able to take them out for longer walks if needed, provide exercise and play, and cuddles! :) We live in a calm, pet-friendly community with plenty of grassy areas for walks and a fenced dog park. Your pup’s safety is a priority, and I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and levels of comfort.
“I’m always so nervous to try a new sitter for Niko - I spend hours researching and reading reviews and then worry all day usually when I drop him off haha. I chose Janet because of the amazing reviews and boy, I’m SO glad I did. I didn’t worry at all about him all day with all the updates and pictures Janet sent me, ensuring he was safe and having a blast. He’s been sleeping since he got home, he was so tuckered out from all the fun he had with Janet and his friends. I will DEFINITELY book again! Thank you!”

“Heather is absolutely GREAT with dogs, having 4 of her own! She welcomes them with warm love and is so caring and attentive with each one. Gracie had a wonderful first time experience and will definitely be back as we have already booked a few more dates with Heather. I highly recommend her!”

“I was visit from out of town for a medical conference. I couldn’t bring my dog to the conference. Laura was so understanding and kind. She understood I was not going to be a repeat customer. However she stepped up to help me and watch Peaches. She gave her medicine too.”
“My dog Nico really seems to enjoy going to Keith’s home for doggy day care. It has been very helpful to find someone who lives close to my job, is affordable, and takes care of Nico. Thanks Keith!”
“Joann is AMAZING!!! I am so so very happy I left my Mia with her. As a first time mom of a fur-baby, I’m still learning. Joann has been great with easing my concerns and providing me suggestions for Mia. We had a great “meet and greet” where I got to meet her, her mom and her little beagle. The family is lovely and welcoming! Joann answered all my questions, and she was so understanding when I had to cancel due to inclement weather. When I rescheduled and she watched my little Mia, she communicated with me and kept me informed. She sent me multiple pics during the stay. I felt so comfortable leaving my Mia with her. I absolutely will continue to book with Joann. In fact I’ve already scheduled an over night stay with her. I recommend Joann all the way!! (Thank you Joann- from Mia and Tasha 😊)”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve taken care my sister’s dog, my cousin’s puppy, my friend’s chickens, and my friend’s dog too, over the years. I recently decided to give the Rover community a chance. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all dogs and am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them. I would love to be able to take them to the dog park where they can also interact with other animals while you're away!

About: I have a 2 year old bernedoddle named Bentley, who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease resulting in him contracting meningitis. He went under extensive treatment which has made me extremely comfortable administering medication and monitoring dogs prone to health issues. In having a large dog I have become comfortable walking and interacting with dogs who are big and strong. I am currently a college student with plenty of free time when I am not in class so I will be able to accommodate you and you pet’s needs to the best of my ability. I believe in allowing a pet to warm up to me first and never rush the introduction process. I actively try to listen and understand the warning signs and signals a pet provides me with to ensure all parties are safe.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Greater Carrollwood
We had a great experience with Joy’ stay in Patricia’s house. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and thoughtful, and it was clear that the environment was well set up for the dogs’ comfort and safety. She was very communicative throughout the day and sent us updates, photos, and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind as first-time daycare users. We could see that Joy was being well cared for and enjoying her time with the other dogs. We really appreciated the care, professionalism, and communication. We would definitely trust her with Joy again and would not hesitate to book with her in the future.

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 Greater Carrollwood 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 2,718 sitters in Greater Carrollwood, 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.
