“Levi had a great experience staying with them. He got to socialize with the other animals and we were kept informed about how his days were going. We look forward to continuing to use them as a sitter for our fur baby.”
“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!”
“Linda was wonderful! We so appreciate her calm and gentle way with pups! Winnie can be a little nervous with new people but Linda was a pro. We will definitely return to Linda and Dickens!”
“Amber was wonderful with our puppy during her daycare stay over the week. We could tell from pictures and dropping her off that she was friendly and taking care of her well. No issues, on time and very accommodating to our schedule. Recommend for sure and will use again gladly!”
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 2 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 greys are friendly and once they do some sniffy sniffs they are good. If your dog likes to mark I do have belly bands to use while in the house.
“Lilliana is great. She is knowledgeable and patient. Our dog is very energetic. She's given us some good training tips, also. We're visiting from out of town and we've used her three times. She sends pictures and texts throughout his visit to keep us up on what he's up to.”
“Magnolia was very prompt in responding and easy to work with. She took great care of my boy for my day away. Very pleased with the details of Rocco’s day and the cute snapshots of him enjoying the big spacious yard. I would definitely recommend and use her again!”
“Karla was fantastic, our dog absolutely loved her. She was able to accommodate us last minute and was very responsive. We loved the multiple photos she sent and could tell our dog was having a great time with her. Thanks again Karla, would 100% recommend you to anyone looking for a rover. 😁”
“My dog absolutely loves going to Diamond for day care. Zero is her new bestie and they have a great, safe time together. Diamond is a miracle worker with dispensing meds, as well as behavioral training. The daily report with the pictures are the highlight of my day. I appreciate how attentive, patient, and kind Diamond is. I’m grateful to have found her.”

“First time leaving my Irish Setter with Emily. She made me feel very comfortable that my Olivia was in good hands. It seems. My pup was quite content having been spoiled a bit and having had playtime. I received pics and updates letting me know and showing that Olivia was well taken are of. I most definitely will be bringing her back if they will have my rambunctious doggie back. Thanks Emily!”
“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! 🐾❤️”

Our home is located in Southeast Deland on 2 ½ acres. Our property is a resort like experience for your dog. Your best friend will enjoy playing in one of our doggy yards. Our large play yard consists of a 2-story deck, next to our signature water feature. The waterfall and stream area provides a place to cool off and soak in the flowing water. After playtime, they can relax in the house with their choice of the couch or one of the elevated beds. All dogs need to be current on their vaccinations (including Bordetella) and flea/tick preventative. All adult dogs need to be spayed or neutered. Please send me a picture of your dog’s shot record through the rover app. For your dog’s safety, I do separate dogs while they are eating, when I am away from home and at. I only accept crate trained dogs. Overnight boarding is $37 for adult dogs and $49 for puppies. The puppy rate is charged for any dog up to 12 months old. This is for a 24-hour period. There will be an additional day care fee of $31 for adult dogs and $37 for puppies for pick up day if pick up is later than the drop off time.

I am a friendly, down to earth person that LOVES dogs I will provide quality and loving care for your furbaby! Hi, my name is Kathy Smith. I am originally from Pennsylvania and moved to Florida in 1981 when I enrolled in Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. I met a Florida boy and never left Florida. We got married in 1985 and started our family. We raised 2 boys and now our furbabies are our at-home kids 😊 My husband and I have always been animal lovers and at one time had quite a “farm” going with horses, a pot-bellied pig, goat, cats and, of course, many dogs. After going "furbaby-less" for a few years, in 2018, we brought home our first Siberian husky, Rusty, a chocolate red, wooly. Well, huskies are like Lays potato chips...you cannot just have only one. Rusty has brought so much joy to our lives. Therefore, in 2019 we added another husky to our family. Koda, is such a unique boy. He is an Agouti and, in the beginning, it was like having a different dog every month as he went thru his color changes. Well, 3 is better than 2, right?? After being on a waiting list for 2 years, May 2021, we added Oakley to our pack. He is a black and white pie-bald. They each have their own unique personalities! Rusty is scared of my sneezes :) Koda demands belly rubs and Oakley is like a cat, sleeping on the back of the couch. My reason for becoming a dog sitter is quite simple…to provide quality, loving care for dogs while being away from their owners. A few years ago, we needed to board our boys and couldn’t find a place that we trusted to watch our “kids” while we were away. We ended up driving them to our breeder located 1 ½ hours away. We did not feel comfortable with boarding facilities located on a busy road. Our resort, country setting is the perfect location for your baby to spend vacation. For 16 years, I owned my own business, building custom water features and creating paradise one yard at a time. This required me to be away from the house every day. Now I spend everyday home with my furbabies!! I have retired from building water features and am now a full time "Dog Mom". Since, I dog sit full time, I am home with the dogs all day. We go outside to play throughout the day in our large fenced in yard. Then, relax in the house. Let me take care of your best friend! Whether it's for the day, while you work or multiple days for vacation, rest easy knowing that your dog will have the absolute best care during their stay. I will spoil your furbaby as if he/she is my own! All pups must be crate trained for their safety. Your furbaby will have free range of the house, but must be in a crate while unsupervised. From time to time, I will need to leave the house to run errands and all pups will spend some downtime napping in a crate. Overnight stays will require sleeping in a crate. We have three Siberian Huskies and know that they tend to be escape artists. Our property is completely fenced in. In addition, the doggy yards have additional fencing. Therefore, we have a double fenced yard. We take every precaution to keep all pups within the doggy yards, but, in the event that a Houdini escapes, we have a perimeter fence to contain them. For this reason, our gates stay closed at all times. When you are dropping off or picking up, we will open the gate for you to drive into the property. We offer curbside service at the front door for drop off and pick up. We are very experienced with huskies. Our boys (Rusty, Koda & Oakley) are very friendly and love dogs of all breeds and sizes. Rest assured that your furbaby will fit in and have the best vacation during their stay here.
“Maeve came home happy and tired from a full day of play during her daycare stay with Suhas & Shruthi. They were reliable, attentive to Maeve’s needs, took her out on several walks during the day, and sent me several adorable photos & videos throughout the day. I highly recommend!”

I enjoy spending time playing with them, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Your dog will be treated like part of the family, with lots of love, patience, and supervision.

Latest pickup time we accept is 9pm unless arranged beforehand. Your pet will be treated like part of the family and receive lots of love, attention, and personalized care. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely play and explore, as well as a covered patio where they can relax and enjoy the fresh air.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Helen
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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lake Helen on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 1,468 sitters in Lake Helen, 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.
