“Joan was absolutely wonderful with our dog during daycare! She provided frequent updates throughout the day, including photos and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, very responsive, positive, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious Joan created a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment in her home. We really appreciated the attention, affection, and care she gave throughout the day. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring doggy daycare!”
“Karley is fantastic, she is very attentive to our pups needs and was very communicative through each day while she was taking great care of our pup Oakley. She would come home tired every day. Can’t wait to you her again next week!”
“Sydney was absolutely amazing in taking a wonderful care of my fur baby Kanella. I recommend her for anyone who needs a pet sitter support that truly cares and loves animals. 🐶🐾💕”
About: Hello! I am a lifelong pet-sitter, new to the platform. After recently losing my elderly cocker spaniel, I am looking to return to caring for other people’s pets! I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and hamsters, and live in a clean, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard and walking distance to three different parks. I am retired from healthcare, BLS certified, active, fun-loving and professional. I look forward to meeting your pet! I have an empty nest and am an active young retiree, so I am home all day except for trips to the park for exercise and the petstore for treats! I live in a pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for quick potty breaks, but prefer taking walks around one of the beautiful nearby parks if your dog is willing. I welcome all well-behaved dogs, crate-trained or not.
About: I have loved and cared for animals my entire life, with over 25 years of experience handling everything from dogs and cats to birds and small pets. As a Registered Nurse, I bring a unique level of medical knowledge, safety, and attentive care to every stay—whether administering medication, supporting senior pets, or maintaining strict daily routines. Having previously provided trusted pet sitting and dog walking services at Hanscom AFB, MA, my family and I are proud to offer a safe, loving, and attentive home environment where your pets are treated like family. Pet care is our full-time focus! To ensure every guest receives personalized care and plenty of individual attention, we keep our boarding group small—capping care at 4 compatible pets at a time. Boarding is available 7 days a week, with flexible drop-off and pick-up arrangements. Doggy daycare at our home and drop-in visits or walks in your neighborhood are available Monday through Friday between 8:00 AM and 12:00 PM. We offer a spacious, single-story, step-free home tailored for senior pets and dogs with mobility needs. Our setup features a fully enclosed deck and pool area opening into a securely fenced yard with natural grass. We provide structured, individual playtime, regular potty breaks every 0–2 hours, and optional supervised pool sessions to keep your dog comfortable, happy, and safe.
About: I am an absolute pet lover! Any time I see a dog, I stop and bond with it. We had a miniature poodle for over 17 years, who I miss daily. I have a special way with animals and shower them with love! I work from home, so I have flexibility! Because I create my own schedule, I can make sure to prioritize a pet’s needs and give them my full attention! I am very devoted to all animals I care for. They have my full attention and become my priority for the time I care for them.
“Amazing as always! Lauren was great for a last minute day to ourselves and we felt much comfortable enjoying ourselves knowing Bear was having just as much fun with Lauren and River all day!”
“My pups had a fantastic time with Andressa and Alex!!! My 2 Shit Tzus have never been around big dog and I was so worried but my fears were put to rest because they slowly introduced Dobby to my pups. Andressa and Alex sent me pic and video’s throughout the day! My pups are learning how to play with other dogs!! I can see a big difference in such a short period of time. Highly highly recommend your fur baby with them!!!”
“Julie + Brian are SO nice! Super sweet, kind, caring, and 100% dog lovers! Appreciate you and can’t thank you enough for taking such great care of my dog-ter!”
“Alyssa was amazing! Thank you so much for the last minute accommodations! Marlie loved you! Alyssa is clearly an animal lover/whisperer. My pup pretty much adopted her the moment we arrived. She clearly has a love for animals I haven’t seen from many people and it was nice to feel like she was in good hands throughout the day. I’ll be reaching out again in the future! Thank you!”
About: I've taken care for dogs since I was a child. My truly love for them is unvaluable. They are my angels on the earth. Love each activities with them. I am completely available on weekdays and weekends. I can receive your pets and give them all the attention required as the case may be. My patio area is long and fenced, it meets safety guidelines. I don't have my own pets. I provide your pet with the same guidelines as an owner.
“Met Evette and her adorable lab named Lady for a meet & greet and 5-hour daycare session. We plan to hire Evette for some upcoming 60 min dog walks next week and wanted to bring our lab Gunnar over to her house to connect them and make sure he felt comfortable with her. Evette & Lady were welcoming and loving!! 🥰”
“Maddie was fantastic with Charlie! She made the experience stress-free by keeping me in the loop with regular updates and pictures throughout the day. I’ll definitely continue going to her in the future — highly recommend!”
“Katie was absolutely wonderful with my dog today! ❤️ I’m so happy with the entire experience. My dog seemed so happy and well cared for, and I truly appreciate how attentive Katie was—she walked her, took great care of her, and made sure she was comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. Don’t hesitate to bring your fur babies to her—she is truly the best! 🐾💕”
About: I've taken care of dogs of many different breeds since i was 15. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and watch their pets. I've trained 2 puppies to be house trained including my dog I own now. I am an avid animal lover and I'm currently a stay at home mom and have lots of free time to board/take care of your dog(s) or cat(s). I love dog walking & giving your pets the most attention and love they deserve! I will feed, walk & play with your pet whether its in my home or yours. I have a decent size yard to allow your dog to run around with my very friendly dog to keep them company! I can also keep them crated if you prefer but have dog beds for your pet to cozy up and feel at home in my home.
“Fiorella and her family were great! She responded when I needed someone to take extra care of my puppy at the last minute. I can tell by all the photos she sent throughout the day that Smoke was so happy to be there with her family and other pups. She was responsive and made sure to give me updates regarding his current stomach issue. She was so attentive and noticed a small detail about my puppy that I forgot to mention about him. I felt comfortable all day with him there with her. I will be a returning customer! Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulf City
My wife and I were extremely happy with Tamara. At first we were a bit nervous leaving our dog with someone other than family that he knew but Tamara made us feel very comfortable. She updated us throughout the day and treated our boy as if he was part of her family and we couldn’t have been happier. Definitely recommend using her and we will for sure be using her services again!!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Gulf City
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,519 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Gulf City. 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 Gulf City 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 2,519 sitters in Gulf City, 84% 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.
