“Andrea was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and it exceeded our expectations! Our dog is very anxious, nervous l, and particular about who he stays with, so we were hesitant to leave him with someone he wasn’t familiar with. Andrea offered to meet him before which was great! When we left him with Andrea for a few days, he warmed up to her quickly! She sent us pictures throughout his stay and kept us informed. We will definitely be leaving our dog with Andrea again. She was wonderful!”
“Michelle is super nice not only to me but to my wild puppy ! He was very well taken care of and got comfortable right away! She made sure my baby was welcomed and played with her own puppy girls ! I’m very thankful my bingo was in good hands and safe when I was out of town very grateful !”
“Our 18 month old dog had never stayed with anyone other than my husband and me and had tremendous separation anxiety. Ekaterina communicated with us prior to the first visit in order to be prepared for his needs. She made every effort to comfort our dog on his first stay, keeping him by her side most of the time. She also sent updates and photos. The 2d and 3d visits went very well. She is very caring and gentle and has an excellent manner with animals. We can't wait to have our dog stay with her again-he feels the same way!”

This was Leo's first time with Amy, and she made us both feel so welcome. She sent photos and updates throughout the day, and at pick-up she gave me a detailed report about how Leo was doing, what he did during the day, and how he was feeling. It was very reassuring and showed how much she genuinely cared about him. Leo is a senior dog, and Amy was very patient and attentive to his needs, which meant a lot to me. I really appreciated her warmth and attention, and I would be happy to have Leo stay with her again.
Paola was great with Betty and Charlie. This is the first time they ever went to doggy daycare. The first day Betty was a little nervous but Charlie looked after her. By the third day both Betty and Charlie were so excited to see Paola when she came to pick them up. I have another day booked for them with Paola. I highly recommend Paola!!
Andy and his Dad Julio were phenomenal. They gave me updates and my dog got to play with other dogs! They even let him on the couch since he’s hypoallergenic and doesn't shed. They sent pictures and updates. And most importantly tried to keep him as cool as possible in the hot Miami heat. That goes a long way. Definitely recommend. I will be booking again.
I had an excellent experience leaving Mila with Gillian. She was very attentive and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave me great peace of mind. She also took the time to ask about Mila’s preferences and any special instructions, showing how much she truly cares. Gillian is both professional and kind, and I would absolutely trust her again for future care. Highly recommended!
Jules had a wonderful time. We were in town and neededa sitter on short notice. Monique accommodated us and we were much appreciative and she sent updates throughout his stay. This was extremely comforting for us since this was our first time using Rover or a sitter for Jules. Will definitely call again if the need arises.
Nancy was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter! She was reliable, caring, and clearly loves what she does. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. She kept me updated and treated my pup like her own. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, which says it all. I would 100% recommend Nancy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and kind dog sitter.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lake Forest
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lake Forest on Rover is $27.75 per day (as of September 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 Lake Forest 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 3,742 sitters in Lake Forest, 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.
