“I was honestly very anxious leaving Paco for the first time with someone I didn’t personally know. He’s a big dog and can be intimidating at first, even though he’s truly just a big fluff ball. From the very beginning, they were incredibly patient—not just with Paco, but with me as well. I asked a million questions and checked in often, and they were always kind, responsive, and reassuring. They kept me updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they look after, and Paco was in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive dog sitters.”
“I'm so happy with Nathalia! My first time using a pet sitter and didn't know what to expect. She put me at ease right away by her loving approach with Midas. I was also given updates of his stay and feed back upon pick-up, and really appreciated the pics and video”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or providing companionship, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important pets are to their families and will treat every pet as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. I’m available throughout most weekdays and weekends and can work with pet parents to accommodate their pets’ routines. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, playtime, and companionship, and I’m committed to providing reliable care whenever needed. I provide a safe, caring, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. I have a small fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised outdoor time, along with plenty of play, exercise, and attention indoors. As a parent of two children, I’m accustomed to maintaining a structured, responsible, and pet-friendly home. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I will carefully follow all instructions to ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. I will also keep pet parents updated for added peace of mind.
“Vanessa was extremely amazing. She has such a gentle, warm and sweet spirit that Milo immediately went to her when we first met her. She constantly kept me up to date and I felt at ease knowing Milo spent the day with her and her beautiful daughter. I will be rebooking again!”
“Melissa took wonderful care of our pup, Tehya. She was always prompt and responsive, kept us updated regularly, and clearly has great knowledge when it comes to canine care. Her communication and attention gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Melissa again and would gladly recommend her to anyone in the Homestead area.”
“Casey was absolutely phenomenal watching our boxer, Matzah, this past weekend. From the moment we met her, it was clear how caring, responsible, and attentive she is with dogs. Matzah came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which says everything, especially with a boxer’s energy level! Casey kept us updated, made us feel completely comfortable while we were out and treated Matzah like her own. It’s not easy finding someone you fully trust with your dog, and we would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional doggie daycare or pet care. We’ll absolutely be using her again!”
“Yunian is absolutely incredible! She kept me updated all day long with photos and videos of what my dog was doing. He had such a great visit with her and highly recommend to everyone! A+++ pet sitter”
About: With years of hands on experience caring for three dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages, I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. From the playful energy of puppies to the gentle care required by senior dogs. I’ve worked with a range of temperaments from energetic and curious to shy and slow-paced always adjusting my approach to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s managing special diets, administering medications, or simply being a comforting presence while you're away, I treat every pet like family. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority, and I strive to create a calm, loving environment that mirrors the care they get at home. Caring for pets isn’t just something I do, it’s a natural part of my everyday life. I make time each day to ensure pets in my care get the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, feeding, or evening check-ins, I plan my schedule around each pet’s routine to maintain consistency and comfort. Because I’ve cared for pets of my own, I understand how important it is to stick to their usual habits. I’m flexible and dependable, and I treat each visit or stay like I’m caring for my own furry family member. I provide a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. I also have a fully fenced yard, perfect for safe outdoor time whether it’s for exercise, fresh air, or just lounging in the sun. I follow your pet’s usual routines feeding times, walks, playtime to ensure consistency and comfort. I also limit the number of pets I care for at once to give each one the personalized attention they deserve.

About: Hii! ! I am a former Pet Store Manager and now I'm happily giving top-notch care to pets in my home 😊 I ONLY BOOK 1 FAMILY AT A TIME 💛 IG: laysuspetsitting Feel free to reach me on Instagram A little about me.. I’ve owned pets since I was a little girl. I have had guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, fish, cats and dogs. I currently have a fresh water planted aquarium in my living room, and 4 kitties upstairs in their kitty room (Kitty Nena, Nomi, Neji and Noah). They’re comfortably kept in their room at all times (except for a few evenings that I let them roam upstairs for a little) I worked for Pet Supermarket retail stores for 9 years. I started as a Sales Associate and left as a Store Manager. I worked in the Bird Road, 8th Street, Pinecrest, and Metro Zoo stores. Throughout that time I accumulated a lot of knowledge on pets, especially on dogs and cats. I truly enjoy their presence! I am available 100% of the time. I set overnight alarms if pets need to be walked or checked on in the middle of the night. I am also up early at 7am. To have all the 1on1 time your dog needs, and to keep them safe… I only book 1 dog at a time. If you have more than 1 dog, I can happily take care up to 3, since they belong to the same family! I can walk your dog as often as needed. I do enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood. I have an indoor area (living room/dining room) and a fenced outdoor area where I care for them, which includes playing and/or training if you supply me with your dog’s favorite treats. When it’s time to sleep, they’ll sleep in my bedroom. I am open to special needs feeding, and I’m comfortable giving medicine if needed. I keep my house clean and organized. There’s no choking hazards on the floor. Floors are swept daily, and mopped frequently. 🙂 Safety is first!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Islandia
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,888 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Islandia. 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 Islandia 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 1,888 sitters in Islandia, 89% 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.
