“Tina and Bill were great. Josie was totally relaxed with them and we feel very comfortable having a place for Josie to stay! We will be booking with them soon!!”
“Julianne was amazing with our 9-month-old puppy! He spent three days in daycare at her apartment, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Julianne was fantastic with him — attentive, caring, and clearly comfortable with puppies. One of the highlights was that Kobe got to spend his days playing with her adorable dog, Molly, which he absolutely loved. Julianne also sent multiple updates and photos throughout each day, which I really appreciated. It was so nice being able to see my puppy while missing him and know he was happy and having fun. She gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kobe was not only well cared for, but also enjoying himself. I would highly recommend Julianne to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter, and I will definitely be using her again on my next work trip!”
“Thanks to Nicole and family for really taking good care of Argus. She was sending constant updates about argus. We will definitely reach out if we need someone to take care of Argus.”
“Nola and her husband were great with my 3 fur babies! They have a beautiful home and a great yard space safe for them to play and run around! They were happy and content when I went to pick them up. I would highly recommend her for your fur babies!”
“From the time we had a preview of the facilities to the complete of our contract, four days later, we trusted Viviana completely! She has a genuine air of knowledge, love and caring. Her facility is clean, thoughtful and unique. As out of towner RV’ers, we needed Viviana to watch our pooch while we toured and enjoyed 4 wonderful days at Disney World. Three Of the days were long. So, with early mornings drop offs and late evening pickups, We so much appreciated Viviana’s care and kindness. For us, it amounted to a 34 mile round trip morning and evening in order to even start our drive into Disney. And so, YES, we recommend Viviana explicitly!!!”

“Nyx stayed at Jaritza’s house for the first time(usually Jaritza has come and let Nyx out) and she was so amazing and sent pictures of Nyx all day, and Nyx had so much fun with her dogs. Jaritza is so great!”
“Nicolas and his wife were very responsive. My request was very last minute and they were readily accessible. I could tell my dog enjoyed staying with them. Without a doubt I will be dropping off my dog with them if I need it”
“I can’t say enough good things about Katie. As a traveling nurse new to the area it was important to me to take my pup somewhere she could have fun and be well taken care of. Katie surpasses those expectations- she took the best care of my puppy and I always felt so relaxed dropping her off knowing she was would be having the best day with Katie and the rest of her doggy friends. Katie is very professional and sends lots of pictures and updates throughout the day that are very fun to receive. I wish I could take Katie on every travel assignment with me and I sure know my puppy would agree with me. 😊”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I want to express my gratitude to Giovani for taking care of our fur babies, Sky and Sunny, on such short notice! We brought them to his place, and they settled in beautifully. Giovani was welcoming and attentive, ensuring they felt at home. It was great to see them playing and enjoying their time there. I knew they were in safe hands, which eased my mind while I was away. Highly recommend Giovani for pet-sitting—he truly cares about the animals! Thank you again!”

“Elaine took great care of Cinco during his doggy daycare visit. She kept me updated with photos, which I really appreciated, and it was nice to see him interacting with another dog. The updates gave me peace of mind, and the whole experience was smooth and professional. I would definitely trust Elaine with Cinco again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lacoochee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 966 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lacoochee. 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 Lacoochee 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 966 sitters in Lacoochee, 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.
