“I cannot say enough about my experience with Beth and her husband and their home, little dog and cats. I felt so at ease around their kindness. The best part is that my dog was more vibrant and playful after two days with them. They were keen to follow instructions and just be a loving presence for Zushi. That’s what we needed most! I will be booking with them again. And highly recommend them.”
“Kinga was amazing. She took our dog on short notice and provided excellent care! Our dog Porto was happy, safe, and well taken care of. We will definitely use Kinga again and recommend her to all of our friends.”
“Jewell is a jewel! She took perfect care of my 15 year-old 10 lb fog. She is attentive, understands dogs, caring, and even after our first visit, I know I can trust her with my little old soul Zorro completely.”
“Alyssa was great and accommodating!! Our pup was so loved and cared for. She helped us out last minute and our buddy said he had a great time☺️would def recommend!”
“Hudson had such a great time with Sidney and her crew! Hudson enjoyed playing with her other dogs and you can tell Sidney cares a lot for the dogs she takes on! Sidney was kind and responsive, and was very flexible with a short notice booking. We will definitely be re-booking for daycare in the future 😊”
“Thank you Audrey and Carson!! I know Mia had the best day (she’s currently out cold on the couch) It was a super last minute reservation and they were more than accommodating and answered very quickly. Thank you too!”
“Morgan is excellent! She knows what she's doing and took great care of my pup. She made sure he got plenty of the exercise and got out some of that puppy energy! I hope to book with her regularly, when I'm in the area.”
“I can't say enough about how wonderful it is to have someone to take Ziggy on days when I have long work hours. He loves Jennifer and gets excited as soon as I pull into her driveway.”
“Teri is absolutely one of the BEST sitters that I've found on Rover. She is sweet, accommodating, and was really quick to respond to my messages. We've got an almost 4 years old, Goldendoodle and her name is Bella. She still has lots of energy and NEEDS playtime with her furry friends. Plus, I’m a firm believer in socializing her to different people. One of our regular sitters were on vacation , and the other one had an emergency to come up suddenly. So, I jumped on to Rover.com and was very fortunate to have found Teri. We live in Arcadia and we've got a pawnshop in Port Charlotte. We moved to Florida 4 years ago from Tennessee , and we still have family there. Well, I like to a Plan A, B and C for Bella's day camp and boarding options, just in case an emergency pops up or if we just want to have a date night then we have options for our girl 🧡 We will definitely recommend Teri to others and Bella will be returning soon, like on the next few days. Teri texted me updates and pictures throughout the day and she was very pleasant to text and talk with. She also teolf me that her husband really enjoy having Bella there as well. Bella loves to play with her furry friends a nd she usually steals the hearts of the sitters, too 🧡 And here's thec icing on the cake, Bella, came home and told me how wonderful her day was by smiling, wagging her tail and sleeping so peacefully last night and most of today as well. It is such a relief to know we have such wonderful options for our girl. We'll see Teri and Ken soon for more day camp and I feel very comfortable to leave Bella for boarding as well ❤️ That's such a huge relief 😊 Thank y'all so much for taking such good care of our girl, Bella!! We greatly appreciate it. They'll definitely be our go to for day camp and boarding for Bella ❤️🐶❤️”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gulf Gate Estates
Nicholas is our new favorite sitter! His relaxing easy going personality is a perfect fit for our two pups. I tell them on the way there that they are going to spend the day AT THE GREAT BIG YARD! So much room for activities! So many sniffs and smells and sights and yard to check out. Then, especially since it's summer, plenty of snoozing on the couch or cool tiles. Nicholas has been agreeable with some time changes and is super responsive when I have a question. We're new to Rover and will likely not look any further for a sitter now that we've found Nicholas and The Great Big Yard! Thank you, Nicholas!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Gulf Gate Estates on Rover is $24.61 per day (as of August 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 Gulf Gate Estates 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 646 sitters in Gulf Gate Estates, 87% 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.
