“Absolutely wonderful! Krista booked us in super short notice. Our pup has only been away from us 1 time before so I didn’t know how he would feel. He’s happy as a clam. Had a great day. ❤️❤️❤️”
“Viviana and her husband have been absolutely amazing with my puppy. By day 3 he was running from my car to go have the best day with them. They’re great about keeping you updated with photos and videos to give you peace of mind while you’re at work.”
“Idalis is a great hostess for our dog Daisy. She is a cream lab and Idalis’s pet golden Logan was a great playmate for her. She spent 5 days there for doggie day care. The first day she was scared when we dropped her off. But the next 4 days she was super happy as soon as she saw us picked up the leash. She was ready to go! She seemed to enjoy being out of the house for some playtime and walk, and when she comes home she is tired. I know she will miss Idalis and her whole family. When we go vacation we will definitely take daisy there for boarding.”
“Jen was a great dog-sitter! Our dog was excited to explore her home, which seemed very dog-friendly, and there was a great long road to take walks on. Jen sent us updates, pictures, and was overall an easy-going and conscientious person! She asked us how we wanted our dog to be treated, what rules we have at home, what he can and can't play with, etc. She seemed to be really confident around dogs, and our dog liked her immediately.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of Texas Poliana. It was his first trip to a day care/pet sitter and you made Texas feel very comfortable and cared for. We are looking forward to using your service again in future. The pictures were also great. Thanks for sharing and happy holidays.”
“Julie was fantastic! We had a meet and greet prior for my 5 month old dog Pickles, and Julie made me feel so comfortable. Today was the day that Julie watched her and I felt very relaxed leaving her in Julie’s hands. Julie sent me pictures and kept me updated and Pickles was happy and tired from all the playing! We can’t wait for our next stay.”
About: My name is Omi, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My love for pets began in childhood while growing up in Puerto Rico, where I was surrounded by cats, dogs and many other animals. Living with so many different animals taught me from an early age how to understand their unique personalities, care for their needs, and appreciate the unconditional love they give. My very first pet was a Chihuahua with a wonderfully spicy personality who quickly became a cherished member of our family. As I got older, I naturally became the person family, friends, and neighbors trusted to care for their pets whenever they traveled. I regularly looked after my aunt's dog, Rosie, cared for my neighbor's cat, Chloe, spent time with my cousin's Husky, Brooklyn, and cared for my sister's three cats by feeding them and making sure they were happy and comfortable while she was away. I truly believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, and cared for just as they would at home. I have a naturally nurturing personality and genuinely enjoy spending quality time with animals, whether that means going on long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, offering plenty of affection, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, secure, and loved. Today, I still enjoy caring for animals and currently have a betta fish of my own. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet cuddle, I will treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own. I know how much our pets mean to us because they truly are family, and I would be honored to care for yours while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home and spend only a few hours each day on my computer. This gives me plenty of flexibility to provide your pet with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. I have a fully fenced yard where pets can safely play and explore, and there's also a nearby dog park for walks, exercise, and extra enrichment if desired. I make sure every pet receives plenty of love, playtime, affection, and one-on-one attention while respecting their individual personalities and routines. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a calm, relaxed environment, I'll make them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to make them feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I carefully follow each pet's normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any special instructions you provide. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to maintain the routine they're accustomed to. I provide plenty of affection, exercise, mental stimulation, and companionship while ensuring they always have access to fresh water and a clean, safe environment. Communication is also important to me. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and receiving the same love and attention they would get at home. Every pet is unique, and I treat each one like a member of my own family.

“This was our first time having Monica watch Coco and she was great! She followed all of our instructions and asked all of the necessary questions to learn about our pup. She sent a ton of pictures and videos and it was so nice to see what was happening while we were away. Monica is very sweet and caring and we would highly recommend her!”
“Absolutely amazing!! She sent tons of photos and videos of my little one throughout the day. You could tell that he was just getting showered in attention and love. She even took him on a walk throughout the day and confirmed that he ate all of his dinner. On top of that she was available last minute!! My prior sitter had something come up and I found Savannah with just a couple hours before I had to leave. It's awesome that she was such a great sitter and was able to work with us for a last minute all day doggy day care. I couldn't recommend her more. 🙂”
About: I've had animals all my life. Dogs, cats, bunnies and guinea pigs! I have always been an animal lover! Currently my husband and I have 2 toy poodles-Teddy and Tucker-both turning 10 this year (2025). I was a stay at home mom to my two children, my son who almost 20-he's off at college and my daughter who is 28 and married. So now I'm officially a stay at home dog mom to Teddy and Tucker. We own our home, we have a fenced in yard and our two sweet pups would love to play with your little one. I'm a non smoker, almost never drink and taking care of the pups is what I love to do.
“Kayla was marvelous! Very welcoming and took good care of my baby. This was my first time leaving Wrigley with anyone and Kayla kept me up to date with how he was doing throughout the day which really put me at ease. Wrigley thoroughly enjoyed his day with Kayla’s fur baby, CoCo Puff! Wrigley will definitely be visiting again.”
“First time is a charm! Nicole, and family, are wonderful, friendly and amazing sitters. Bailey was completely comfortable and at ease right from the start. Nicole stayed in touch through the day with pictures and comments. The environment was friendly and playful and so much love. Highly recommend!”
About: My name is Meghan and my fiance and I live together with our friendly, standard poodle, Knightro and our new puppy, Mando. Both pups love any and all people + dogs. They would love to have some friends visit for stays! My fiance and I have grown up with pets our whole lives, We are both very active, and I work from home full time so we can give lots of walks, play time, give the best belly rubs, and whatever else your furry friends needs! I have plenty of experience working with animals. I am also found on the Wag dog walking app, and I have volunteered at animal shelters in the past such as S.A.F.E. pet care in Florida, and the Humane Society. We really love animals and can’t wait to meet your four legged family member :-) I work from home full time and i am off weekends so I have plenty of time to love & care for your pup :-) We don’t have a fenced in yard, but we have a wide open back yard that connects to a 3.5 mile + walking trail. The neighborhood has sidewalks and not near any busy roads. We have lots of space to roam inside the house as well, with extra rooms.
“Mariela was a wonderful doggy care. She kept my family and i updated with how Benji was doing as well as his walks and fed time. I will definitely like to book her again if possible. I’m out on vacation and Benji doesn’t like to stay alone for long periods of time. This was the best app!”
“We were so happy to find Priscilla. While we live in another part of Florida, we needed to board our pup while in the area where we were visiting with family and spending Thanksgiving Day at their house. My son's dog doesn't get along with ours, so it was wonderful to find someone who could care for him during our visit. Priscilla was so good with him and she sent us photos and a video of him running in her yard with the other dogs. He looked so happy to have this play time. We will definitely consider boarding him with Priscilla the next time we plan a visit to our kids.”
“Tiffany is hands down THE BEST!!! I’ve needed her a few times in the last week, and she has come through every time!! My dog didn’t even need a transition period when she started at Tiffany’s house. Tiffany’s house made her feel right at home!!!”
About: Hi! My name is Alyssa. I am a lifelong dog owner and former dog foster parent. I have experience caring for dogs of all natures - senior dogs, reactive dogs, and administering medications. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your fur baby. Leave that worry at the door when your pet stays in my home! I will love and care for you let as if they are our own! My work allows me to be home all day, allowing me to provide personalized care and attention, never miss medication doses, and plenty of cuddles! My husband also works remotely two days a week. Although he will not be responsible for care, he shares my love and compassion for dogs and will love your pet like his own too! We own a 5 year old, 80lb Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix named Duke. He is neutered, well-trained (he talks with buttons!), very socialized, and adapts well to visiting dogs. He will lie down when playing with smaller dogs and respects boundaries when playtime is over. My home is currently child-free, creating a quiet environment with a perfectly sized, fenced in backyard. My home and yard provide a variety of enrichment and separate spaces for dogs who prefer their own area. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your pet in our home! I am incredibly grateful to be able to be fully remote 7 days a week. My husband works remotely two days a week, in office 3 days. My dog and I love spending time outdoors, either playing out in the yard or relaxing in our screened in porch! When my husband gets home from work we like to take family walks around our quiet, safe community. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment where every dog can feel comfortable and secure. My home is child-free with minimal clutter for dogs to get into. We have a full fenced backyard with no neighboring dogs, for supervised outdoor playtime. I am home throughout the day, allowing me to closely monitor pets, maintain routines to elevate stress, administer medication, and provide plenty of attention, exercise, and love. We have crate trained my dog and can give him crate time to provide separate spaces and help all dogs feel comfortable. My dog may be big but he is incredibly intelligent and empathetic. He has been noted to comfort and welcome new dogs at his day care. He is impressive with understanding boundaries and can either give your dog space or be your dog’s new BFF (best furry friend!)! I

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 Howey-in-the-Hills 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 1,569 sitters in Howey-in-the-Hills, 86% 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.
