Being our first time little our little pups for the first time, we were quite nervous and worried about leaving them for the day in a new environment. We were very quickly put as easy with Karla's amazing, calm and caring nature and obvious genuine love of animals. Our dogs took to her straight away and not only were ok for the day, but had an associate blast with Karla and her little Coco. She sent us updates, photos and videos that made us feel beyond at ease, but so happy that our little ones were having a great time! ☺️ We are delighted to have Karla as an amazing person to look after our pooches at times we need to be away in the future as we know they will have the best care and it actually be an enjoyable, fun adventure for them! Cannot recommend and thank Karla enough for her brilliant care and genuine love and gift she has for animals ☺️?

We highly recommend Francisca. Our dog, Buddy had the best time with her. My children mentioned how calm Buddy was when we picked him up.(I don’t have to tell you other dog owners what a relief that is;). Francisca communicated well and sent pictures! Definitely plan to use her services again. Five Stars!

About: Dogs need attention just as much as humans do, if not more! We provide games, fun exercises, walks, and most importantly a nice nap. My husband has experience with birds, cats, and dogs! I'm at home all day and my husband works close by. Minimum 3 walks a day as we really enjoy exercising. We both give a lot of attention to our dog! We have several dog play areas in our community. We have a balcony where our furry friends can sit and people watch. We also have several dog beds so our friends can recharge their energy!

About: I promise to treat your sweet fur baby as if it were on of my own. I am the proud mom of two wonderful shih-tzus. Lilly is 7 and Benji is 2. I have been pet-sitting for family since I was 10 years old. We recently moved away from family so now I have time to welcome your pups into my Florida family! I am a stay-at-home mom and have nothing but time for your pets. I walk my Shih-Tzus twice every day and would love to have yours' tag along! I am attentive and will treat your babies as my own. Our pups live in our home like regular family members. We have a fenced in yard that they can roam freely when they want to go out. Our neighborhood is also a great place to walk the dogs. I walk mine twice per day and would do the same for your pets.

From the moment we dropped off our pup, I felt completely at ease. My dog was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. She sent regular updates with photos and messages, which meant the world to me and gave me so much peace of mind. It’s obvious she genuinely loves animals and treats them like family. I will definitely be booking with her again—highly recommend!

About: 30 + years experience with dogs. I've owned or cared for other people's dogs since childhood. I have a large fenced in backyard for your pup to play! I love dogs and want to spoil and snuggle yours because I currently do not have a dog. I work part-time/variable schedule and my roommate works full-time from home so there is almost always someone home. I have a very flexible schedule so I am available most days of the week consistently for caring for your pet. I have a large fenced in back yard for your pup to play. My neighborhood also has a dog park area if you are comfortable with your dog in that setting. There are two chill, snuggly cats in my home.

About: I’ve had pets to care for in my life for more years than I haven’t! From kitty liters being born on my porch to pups with epilepsy, I’ve seen & handled it all! I grew up with a dad who had a special interest in dogs & dog training (does the name Cesar Millan mean anything to you 😏) & we ALWAYS had pets in the house. I’ve cared for American Bulldogs, pugs, adult cats & kitty litters! (And chickens but I don’t think those are allowed in my apartment) I work remotely, so I’m always open to moving my schedule around for what may work best for your little one. We’ll keep em as on schedule as possible while you’re away. :) Im also a retired nanny! So I’m very used to sending check in photos and txt updates, as well as full “while you were away” reports upon trip returns! If ur looking for someone safe & trustworthy to keep an eye on your fur babies, I’m ur gal ;) Can’t wait 2 chat! Talk soon! Xx I work from home and create my own schedule!! So I’m free to hang out with your fur babies as much as possible <3 I’ll keep them on their normal schedule so they don’t feel the slightest bit of discomfort :) I have a pet free home , because I travel too often right now to have a fur baby of my own. That being said , if your baby is a little shy or prefers being by themselves, this is the spot for them!

She was very loving and very communicative, she sent me many photos and videos!. I would choose Lia's services for sure. I felt 100% comfortable leaving Sharon in her care!

About: As a dog sitter, I pride myself on providing the most caring and loving environment for your furry companion. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and cherished in your absence. Whether it's playful walks, cuddles on the couch, or simply offering a watchful eye, I prioritize their happiness and comfort. With personalized attention and a deep understanding of canine needs, I do attempt to house train with the time I have with every furry friend I receive, giving you peace of mind knowing your dog is in the best hands. I am a college student, getting my degree in digital design. Due to myself being an art major I have more time than other students and will be able to devote more time to my passion and that’s working and caring for animals. I live in a gated apartment complex, therefore yard wise is open but limited. My apartment has more than enough space to play, sleep, and simply enjoy the presence of every furry friend.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Highland City

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Highland City on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,456 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Highland 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 Highland 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 1,456 sitters in Highland City, 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.
