“Incredible dog sitter! Leo felt right at home from the moment he arrived. A beautiful yard to play in and greatly enjoyed hanging with Coco! Every day he came home to me happy as can be.”

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: With over 4 years of dedicated experience as a dog owner and sitter, I have developed a deep understanding of canine behavior, needs, and care routines. This hands-on experience has equipped me with the skills to provide attentive and compassionate care to other dogs as a pet sitter. I am adept at recognizing and responding to various behavioral cues, ensuring that each dog feels comfortable and secure in my care. My daily routines have included regular feeding schedules, exercise, grooming, and administering medications when necessary. Additionally, I have experience in training basic commands and addressing minor behavioral issues, which enables me to manage dogs with diverse temperaments effectively. My commitment to maintaining a safe and nurturing environment reflects my genuine love for animals and dedication to their well-being. I am currently a stay at home mom and have plenty of time to be a loving caregiver for your pups! My availability is open and am able to board any time of day. I maintain a clean and hygienic space, regularly sanitizing areas to promote your pet’s health and well-being. I am committed to providing personalized care, adhering to your pet’s specific routines and preferences to ensure they feel comfortable and loved during their stay. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I strive to create a home-away-from-home experience for every animal in my care.
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 have had dogs my whole life, I love dogs I currently have Luna, my little doggy rescue. They can also use the yard or the pool.

Can feed them, wash them, cuddle them , they can use the couch or bed to sleep. I also have a pool and a big yard.

About: I am a Veterinary Technician at and have been a vet technician for 5 years. I am currently going to school at USF to get my bachelors degree and then go off to vet school. I love dogs, cats, reptiles, and even birds! I have 3 dogs of my own and also I can help with any behavior training, potty training, or even proper leash walking. I am a very flexible person and love working with animals so if you have any questions please feel free to call me or text me. I always have my phone on me and will get back to you as soon as possible. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to being your new pet sitter!
About: I am almost done with my CVA, which has given me hands-on experience with animal care and a strong understanding of animal behavior, basic health needs, and how to recognize when a pet may be stressed, uncomfortable, or need extra attention. I’m very attentive to routines like feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care instructions you have for your pet. I also volunteered at a horse rescue for 6 years, which has helped me become even more patient and comfortable working with animals that all have different personalities and needs. Whether your pet is a playful puppy who needs consistency and extra energy or an older pet who needs a gentler approach, I’m confident in providing calm, dependable care and making sure they feel comfortable while you’re away! Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine. I currently attend CVA school Monday through Thursday from 8–12, and because it’s a veterinary program, I’m able to bring new animals with me every day if that’s something an owner is comfortable with. This allows me to spend even more time with your pet and keep them with me throughout the day. Outside of school, I’m available the rest of the day and can realistically spend most, if not all, of my time with your pet. I also care for my own animals every day, including my dogs, cat, and reptiles—a snake, bearded dragon, turtle, and leopard gecko—so feeding, walking, playtime, bathing, cleaning cages, and keeping their spaces clean are all part of my normal routine. My entire day is basically centered around animals between school and caring for my own pets, so pet sitting fits very naturally into my life. I care for pets with a lot of attention, and fun! I usually feed my pets at the same time every day and follow a schedule, but I keep it flexible so it works for each pet’s needs. I give dry food and simple medications like NexGard but, I also have experience handling special diets and other medications. Playtime happens whenever pets seem bored or want to go outside. I have lots of toys, treats, and fun activities inside, and I enjoy running with dogs outside or taking them on car rides. I also do some basic training for fun, though I’m not a professional trainer. I keep spaces clean and comfortable, cages and tanks are cleaned regularly, puppy pads are replaced, and everything is wiped down with disinfectant as needed. Pets have their own quiet areas, toys, and treats to feel calm and safe. I’m very observant of their behavior, so I can notice when something feels off. Pets aren’t left alone for long, except when I’m at school for a few hours. I’m used to managing multiple pets at once by keeping a close eye on everyone and giving each animal their own space when needed. My home is very clean, and I constantly sweep, mop, and vacuum. Overall, I make sure pets are happy, safe, and comfortable, and I treat them as part of my family giving lots of love, attention, and care every day.

Outstanding experience, Karla took in little Noli last minute when home renovations became too much for our Yorkie. She gave him outstanding care. You could see from the photos he loved his experience. Providing an A+ rating as this was a very positive Day Boarding Experience.
Thank so much for taking such great care of Zeke! He really seemed to enjoy his time with you! Also, thank you for being so accommodating with drop off and pick up times. If we are in this area again, I will definitely book with you! Thanks again and take care!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Highland City on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 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 .

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.
