“Debra and her son were wonderful with Olive. She settled in right away and was just as comfortable as she is at home. I loved getting updates throughout the day, it was clear she was having a great time. We’d happily book with them again.”
“Very pleased with the accommodations!! Inside area is fabulous for pups to hang during warm days. Loved that someone was physically with him all day to monitor the pups while they played!! Thank you very much! We have a tired little pooch tonight!!”
“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!”
About: As a devoted pet owner to my beloved Julie,I have gained invaluable experience in providing exceptional care and nurturing for animals. Over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of the responsibilities and joys that come with being a pet parent. I’m available to take care of your pet in my home Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 7 PM, you need overnight stays: I offer overnight stays for pets that require 24. At my home, the safety and well-being of your furry friends are my top priorities. I understand that leaving your pets in someone else's care requires trust and assurance, which is why I have taken several measures to create a secure and comfortable environment. My home is equipped with a fully fenced backyard, providing a safe and controlled space for supervised playtime and exercise. This ensures that your pets can enjoy the outdoors while remaining within a secure boundary. To further enhance safety, I have installed cameras throughout my home, including the backyard. These cameras allow me to monitor your pets' activities and ensure their well-being at all times. You can have peace of mind knowing that your pets are under constant supervision, even when I'm not physically present in the same room.
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.
“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!”
“Trevor did an outstanding job looking after my puppy! He not only kept me updated with awesome photos and regular updates throughout the day but also ensured my pup returned to me squeaky clean! My puppy was worn out and seemed to have the best day with Trevor. I couldn't be more pleased with his exceptional care!”
“Heather took great care of our chocolate Labrador for four days and was very flexible with last minute changes to our drop off and pick up times on all four days that we were in the Tampa area. We will book with Heather again when we're back in the Tampa area. Highly recommend Heather to care for your fur babies.”
“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.”
“Dawn was amazing! She accepted my last-minute booking, took great care of my dog, and kept me updated with photos throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I could tell my pup was well cared for and happy. I will definitely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Latte always receives kind and gentle care from Desiree. Could not recommend her more!!! I always enjoy seeing him play with her own two dogs, they seem to get along great 😊”
“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 😊)”
“They were so accommodating and took excellent care of our puppy while we hit the theme park all day. It was so easy and close by that I would give them 10 stars if I could. I highly recommend them to anyone!!”
“Laura is the best. Our boy Jimmy loves her and she is a fantastic communicator. I am so glad she is so close and able to allow us to work knowing our boy is well cared for.”
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! I have one fur baby of my own - a brown pit mix who is full of energy and curiosity! I currently have a lot of free time on my hands, which will allow me to dedicate all the time necessary to your lifelong companions. I am available for drop ins or house sitting when needed! I am also flexible and can accept last minute bookings. I’m a reliable, caring dog walker who’ll treat your pup like family. When in your home, I would take your fur baby for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable. I also provide video and picture updates of your baby’s day.
About: Hi! I’m Jade, and I offer personalized, pet care from my home. I live with my husband, teenage son, our dog Zoey, and three cats, so your pet gets plenty of attention while still enjoying a relaxed, home-style environment. I’m home throughout the day, which means pets staying with me get lots of companionship and aren’t routinely left alone for long periods. I also keep my bookings limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention, walks, playtime, downtime, and lots of photo updates while they’re with me. For boarding and daycare, I’m best suited for dogs who are comfortable around other pets and can settle into a home environment. I know every dog has their own personality and routine, and I love learning what helps them feel most comfortable and at home. Whether your dog wants to play, go for walks, lounge nearby, or curl up for a nap, I’m happy to follow their lead and keep their stay as familiar and stress-free as possible. I also offer dog walks and drop-in visits for both dogs and cats, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, medications, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention while you’re away. My goal is simple: to give your pet safe, loving, dependable care and give you peace of mind knowing they’re being treated like one of our own. I’m home throughout most of the day, so I have plenty of flexibility to give pets lots of attention, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and company. My schedule is generally very flexible, but I do appreciate a heads-up for drop-offs, pick-ups, and visit times so I can plan around errands, appointments, and other bookings. Good communication helps everything run smoothly and makes transitions easier for everyone! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family while still following the routines and boundaries they’re used to at home. I keep bookings limited so I can give each pet plenty of individual attention and keep a close eye on how everyone is getting along. Dogs get regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of downtime. I supervise interactions with my own pets and make sure everyone has space to relax when they need it. Feeding, medications, crate routines, and other care instructions are followed based on each pet’s normal schedule. For drop-ins and walks, I’m respectful of your home and follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, medications, litter box care, walks, playtime, and lots of attention while you’re away. Most importantly, I pay attention to each pet’s comfort level and personality rather than expecting every animal to interact or behave the same way.
“Haley was awesome..... she was ready and waiting for me when I dropped off the dogs and picked them up. She gave me all kinds of feedback on the dogs and it looks like they got PLENTY of exercise... the pictures and videos were great! My dogs are going back to her this evening and through the weekend and I'm very they will be with someone that I trust and know she will take care of my pups.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Greater Carrollwood
Debra was awesome, especially because we needed a last minute sitter. Our pup loved playing with the others around him and Debra sent us pictures along the way. Our engagement went over the time we originally planned and Debra had no issues whatsoever. We will surely be asking her to puppy sit again in the future!
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.

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.
