Saira was great with our elderly dog and she provided us with regular updates and photos. We are so grateful to find a good sitter on the spur of the moment when the dog was too anxious to be left alone in our hotel room.

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!

***** that's 5 more to make 10. Charli and her family-the human and furry kind-far exceeded my expectations! Several videos and updates. She worked hard to help my somewhat new rescue come out of her shell...and was beyond successful! She speaks our language! By the time I got back after 8hrs, Athena was conflicted about whether she wanted to stay or go. She has a gift to be cherished! Thank you!

I just wanted to say how much I appreciate everything. Seriously, when it comes to the practical stuff, I never have a single worry; everything always feels super secure and well-managed. And honestly, the Idalis team , they’re just the absolute best! I have such immense trust in them, and they always make everything so pleasant and easygoing. Plus, my dog absolutely *adores* coming over. He always has the most fantastic time playing with all the other pups – he practically begs to go 😄. It's such a wonderful spot for him (and for me, too!).

June 4th, to all my regular clients, I have officially moved into our new place in Tavares and my address has been updated on my profile as well so when you book your stay, it will direct you to our new address. Thank you guys so much for constantly booking with me it means so much to our family! We absolutely love your pets! Here's some info about me to anyone who hasn't booked with before☺️ 🩷I always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more.

I’m a stay at home mom so I will be home the whole time with your fur babies! We typically get up around 6am so for your pups who are used to early morning potty breaks we got you covered! We live in a house with a fenced in backyard so plenty of space for your pups to run around! I have 3 kids also who love animals and will keep them very entertained as well!

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.

I don’t know how I could add to the reviews, except to say you can believe every great comment. Scout is a very energetic strong puppy. I can see with the photos and video that he had a blast today. I might have to wake him up for dinner. He’s sideways on the couch! Thanks Krista

About: Hello my name is Courtney!! Let me share some things to you about me. I am hard of hearing person, having a dogs to care for bring the joy out of me. They know how to cheer you up. That all make me smile. It doesn’t matter what breeds, gender, or size to me. What matters to me is to make sure they are taking care of with full of love and care. I have 3 girls. Range from 12 to under 1 year old. I look forward to take care of your babies. On plus side I am deaf myself. Being disabled and unable to hear does not stop me loving animals. :) Right now I’m a full time mom with my youngest one. We pretty much stay home. Would love to get out of the house to see doggies. I can always make it work :) I have a full fenced yard where I can always play throwing toys, ball, even some splash of water spray if the dogs like water. There’s a small park around the corner that I can take them to. If it’s a client home I follow what client do to their pets :)

My dog had a great day with Alexandria. He was comfortable from the beginning and received the care and attention he needed. She did an awesome job caring for Lucky. Not to mention the picture updates throughout the day (my favorite part of his stay). Alexandria was consistent with keeping me posted during his stay and he was happy!

About: I love animals and have been around pets and farm animals most of my life. I will take great care of your animals. I have solid local references. I'm professional and trustworthy. I have 4 pets; 1 dog and 3 picky cats. I am only able to host OUTDOOR dogs. We have a nice area for our dog where he spends a lot of his time during the day. There is a yard area and a covered area with a dog house and I have different crates I can use. Dogs are well cared for and enjoy being in their smaller space in our 3/4 acre yard. I make my own schedule and work mostly from home. I am home more than 70% of the week. I am able to care for and spend time with your pets. I like to follow the routine the pet owner keeps for their animal. I have solid local refrences. I would follow guidelines laid out by the client. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable with your absence. We board the dogs in an an enclosed fenced area behind the house. There is a large contrete platform that has a roof and the yard outside. We have extra crates if nessecary.

About: I’m Brooke! Lover of all pets, young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes, swimming, even to a play day at the park, I am sure I will pamper your pooch. For me, it’s their stay, their way! They lead me on their walks, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course. I might even bring them along for a beach trip and can make some new friends! Pet stores are a given. 

Starbucks pup cups are a given. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet y'all and let’s play fetch! I’ll even give them a bath if you want! Just bring their shampoo if they have sensitive skin! 🐶 I’m currently a Paralegal remote, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and attend to them! ❤️ Some call me the dog whisperer but I credit my dog attraction success by understanding that “it’s the dogs world and I’m just living in it”. Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dogs on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly house with a fenced in yard. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If your pup needs a bath, I am willing to scrub them in the tub. If they need certain medications, I can do so. I am also known to make cute treat dog baskets. They’ll be spoiled by me! 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to each pet, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration, or simply providing companionship and attention. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines as closely as possible. Throughout the day, I provide regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. I also make time to send updates and photos to pet parents so they can feel connected and reassured while they’re away. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an active adult pet, or a senior companion who needs extra patience and care, I am committed to making sure every pet receives the attention, love, and individualized care they deserve. My goal is to help pets feel relaxed and at home while giving owners peace of mind. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I take the time to learn their individual needs, personality, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any special instructions. In a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, exercise, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and companionship. I know that many pets are most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I work to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a clean, safe, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel part of the family. I ensure they have plenty of attention, supervised playtime, exercise, comfortable resting areas, and constant access to fresh water. I closely monitor pets for any signs of stress or discomfort and adjust care to meet their needs. No matter where I am caring for your pet, I treat them as if they were my own. I believe communication is important, so I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident knowing their furry family member is receiving loving, dependable care every day.

About: My name is Linsa Morales, I am 35 years old and I have more than 10 years of experience in pet care. I studied and graduated as a Veterinary Assistant Technician and since then I have worked in personalized pet care. I also volunteer at county shelters and some non-profit organizations where I care for and foster animals. My goal when I take care of a pet is to make it feel safe and not change its routine while the owner is away, so that it feels like it's on vacation while it's with us. I adapt to different types of pets, from very small dogs to senior dogs, as well as cats and birds. This is my full-time job for the moment, I'm always at home. So my life adapts according to which pet I'm taking care of at the time. My house is very safe and has very open spaces. We let our pets feel free to climb on the furniture. We also have several beds and a large fenced patio where they can run around safely. We don't have children or other dogs. We do have cats who love dogs.

Maria had a great way with Onyx. It was his first time doing any daycare in his time with me, and I wasn’t sure how he’d feel about it. He did great! Onyx will be staying with Maria any time I need a sitter, and in fact I’ve already booked Maria for a family trip in July.

About: Hello - I offer personalized 1-on-1 care in my quiet, smoke-free, child-free home — one dog at a time, alongside my own senior dog, Benjie. Your pup gets my full attention in a calm, clean home, not a chaotic boarding situation. I specialize in small and medium-sized dogs and have a special place in my heart for seniors. Benjie has a heart condition, so I genuinely understand medication schedules, gentle routines, and the patience senior dogs need to feel truly at ease. My home has a secure, well-maintained fenced yard for safe outdoor time, potty breaks, and play. I’m organized, detail-oriented, and great at following instructions carefully. Feeding schedules, medications, special needs — nothing gets missed. My faith guides how I care for every dog entrusted to me: with love, compassion, and kindness. My goal is simple — for you to be away with complete peace of mind, knowing your dog is safe, happy, and loved. A typical day in my home is calm, comfortable, and centered around your dog’s individual needs and routine. Mornings start with a potty break, a neighborhood walk, and breakfast — then we settle into a relaxed, easy pace for the rest of the day. Depending on your dog’s personality and energy level, their day may include gentle playtime, sunbathing in the fenced backyard, cozy naps, cuddle time, and sweet companionship with Benjie. I especially love caring for seniors and understand the importance of patience, a slower pace, and keeping a consistent routine that helps them feel secure and at ease. My goal is simple — for your dog to feel safe, loved, and truly at home while you’re away. Your dog will enjoy a calm, safe stay in my clean, peaceful home with a secure fenced backyard for supervised outdoor time and potty breaks. I intentionally accept only one client dog at a time, so your pup gets focused 1-on-1 attention and a consistent routine throughout the day — not a crowded, stressful environment. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, and special care requests to the letter. You’ll also receive regular updates so you’re never left wondering how your dog is doing. I specialize in small and medium-sized dogs and especially welcome seniors, who tend to thrive in a quieter home setting like mine. Your pup will also have a sweet companion in Benjie, my gentle 25-pound senior dog, who loves having friends visit.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Howey-in-the-Hills

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Howey-in-the-Hills on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,605 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Howey-in-the-Hills. 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 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 1,605 sitters in Howey-in-the-Hills, 85% 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.
