“First time, but it definitely won’t be our last! So glad that I could find somebody trustworthy and reliable to watch my Angel when we are out of town. I received so many pictures and updates and felt safe and relieved the whole time I was away. For reference, I have 105 pound great dane and and she had so much fun!”
“It was my first time leaving my Irish Setter with Linda. I am new to the area and based on her rating reviews I felt she would be a great match. Needless to say I was not disappointed. It appears my Olivia got the best care. I received regular updates and pics. Linda shows genuine love and care for pets under her care. I intend to use her services again in the near future! Thank you! 🐕”
“Leon has a well run system to take care of my dogs for the day. He has a particular way that he runs his place bc sometimes there are like 10 dogs there. But he manages them well. My dogs were happy and relaxed in the end of the day.”
About: I work from home so your pup will receive continuous attention and playtime. Personal pet owner of up to 4 dogs at a time. As a RN I have no problem administering your dogs medications, including injections. Daycare/boarding includes walking your pet and possible doggie park on the weekends if you are comfortable with that. After recently losing 3 members of my pack, I decided to spoil and love on other peoples pets. Most of my best friends are dog owners! I prefer a meet and greet before boarding your pet. My greyhound is a senior and friendly and has accepted all my boarders without issues. If your dog likes to mark I do have belly bands to use while in the house.
“Laurie and Mark were SPECTACULAR!! They took such great care of my Tanner! They also introduced him to new things such as the pool, and chickens! Haha he had a blast playing with their dogs as well! Couldn’t ask for a better experience! Will definitely book with them again!”
“I love that I can bring Murphy to stay with Emily whenever I need it. He gets so excited when he sees her. That warms my heart. I feel so comfortable leaving him there. She's amazing.”
“We hit the jackpot! I’m reluctant to tell you how amazing this experience was and what wonderful people they are because I selfishly want them all to myself. But I have to share that Fahriye and Daniel are the most amazing dog hosts and they spoiled us! In addition to outstanding care, they groomed my dog, Simon, washed his bed, baked him treats, and gave us a special surprise gift. Who does this?! They do! They sent photos, were so easy going and, most importantly, Simon was so excited to see them on the second day! He requires endless affection and attention which they didn’t seem to mind at all. I brought home a happy, CLEAN!, exercised, and well-cared for dog. I am so relieved and grateful to have found them ❤️🐾🐕🦺”
About: Hi, my name is Joanna. I was a vet tech in South Carolina for two years before moving back to Florida. I love dogs and have always had one. My family and I have two labs. I would love the opportunity to be able to take care of your loved one while you are away. I am home full time. I will do my best to make sure your dog feels like they are at home. I understand how nerve-racking leaving your pet with someone else can be. I will do everything possible to help ease your mind while they stay with me. We have a fenced-in backyard and two labs that love to play. The dogs are never left outside unattended. We have crates available if needed for when someone is not home.
About: Hi! I’m Victoria, a local Sanford dog sitter and proud dog mom to Leo, my toy schnauzer. I provide a safe, loving home environment where dogs are treated like family—not just pets. No cramped kennels or long hours alone. They’ll have the run of the house, plenty of outdoor time, belly rubs, treats, and all the love they could ask for. A brief Meet & Greet is required prior to sitting for all new clients to assure compatibility. I work remotely, which means your dog will have companionship and supervision throughout the day. Whether they’re here for a weekend getaway or an extended stay, they’ll enjoy plenty of outdoor breaks, playtime, cuddles, and individualized attention. I intentionally keep my boarding numbers low to create a calm, low-stress environment where every dog receives the care they deserve. We have policies in place to make sure dogs, who are escape artists, aren’t able to make a run for it, we space feeding time and walking time as research has shown eating prior to a walk and immediately after can cause bloating and other complications. It’s my mission your dog is safe at all times so you can worry less when your dog is not with you.
“Tamara was very welcoming to Nila and myself! I’m never away from Nila, but Tamara understood and sent me pictures and I definitely knew she was in great hands! Friendly and clean environment”
“This is our first time using Rover. We were out of town and needed someone to take care of our fur-baby for a day due that he had an emergency surgery. We are very pleased with Lee-Anne. Our fur-baby doesn’t stay just with anyone. He loved Lee-Anne from the time he arrived. That kept me at ease and happy. Lee-Anne asked us if it was ok to send us texts with updates. I told her that I truly appreciate asking becuase we wanted updates. Lee-Anne send us tons of videos and pictures. Lee-Anne followed our furbaby’s medicines and feeding instructions. We are very pleased with Lee-Anne services and highly recommend her. We will be using Lee-Anne when he come back to the Orlando area. Thank you for taking great care of our fur-baby. Our fur-baby was very happy.”

“They took great care of my puppy! Scout is only two months old and has a lot of energy. When I picked him up after his sitting with Steve, he was so tired he slept for the entire night because he had so much fun! Thank you and see you again soon!”
About: I love helping friends and families with all of their animal-care needs. I have experience with livestock, dogs, cats, and more. I'm happy to board at our house. We live on 3 acres and we are totally fenced in. I am a mother to two kids and we homeschool, so we are home and available as often as needed to help. No pet will be left bored or lonely! I'm happy to drop by and walk your pet from your home. Even better, we can board here at our home where your pet can be one of the family! We have 3 acres fenced in and plenty of room to play.
“we left our sweet girl rodham with amber while we were on a day in universal during our vacation. i can’t say enough good things!! amber constantly sent photos, was intentional about introducing rodham to other dogs in a controlled environment, and stayed so communicative and flexible with my timing. i would use her again in heartbeat!!”
“Karla and Victor are great! They communicate well and are very caring with my large dog Beowulf. They are very understanding of his needs and I would highly recommend them.”
“There are not enough words I can say about Bruce! He helped us out last minute and our dog Akiiro had the best time ever!

Sarah also went above and beyond by accepting not one, but TWO last-minute bookings for me, which I truly appreciated. It’s clear that Sarah genuinely cares about the dogs she watches, and Mia was so comfortable and happy with her. We’re both very happy customers, and Mia is already excited to go back tomorrow! 🐾🐾🐾 Thank you, Sarah! We highly recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional Rover sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Helen
We are so grateful for the incredible care our puppy Boone has received here at what we lovingly call "Harlan's Holler". From the very beginning, they have gone above and beyond—not just watching him, but truly investing in his well-being. When Boone was sick, they treated him with so much compassion and gave us advice that helped us through a really difficult time. Honestly, we might not have made it through the challenges of raising our wild boxer puppy without their support. They’ve given Boone not only love, but also new skills—teaching him how to swim, helping with his manners, and making him feel happy and safe. It’s clear that this isn’t just a job for them; it’s a genuine passion. Knowing Boone is cared for by people who treat him like their own has been such a gift. We couldn’t recommend them more highly—they are kind, knowledgeable, and truly one of the best things that has happened for us and our pup. Boone absolutely adores them, and so do we!
Highly recommended! Michael and his family took wonderful care of Mambo. His wife was especially great with him, and Mambo became very attached to her, which says a lot about how comfortable and loved he felt. Their children were also very sweet with him. They have a beautiful, spacious home with a nice yard, making it a great place for dogs. I was very happy with Mambo’s care and will definitely use My again. 100% recommended! 🐾❤️
I left my 2 year old with Micheal and he came home reset and fulfilled at the end of the day. He provided a safe, engaging environment and even spent some time training. He’s got average prices with above and beyond service. I would absolutely trust Micheal with my dog again.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lake Helen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lake Helen on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,449 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lake Helen. 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 Lake Helen 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 1,449 sitters in Lake Helen, 87% 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.
