About: Caring for pets has always been a part of my life! I’ve grown up with dogs at home and have looked after them with love and responsibility. Friends and family have trusted me many times to care for their pets while they’re away, whether it’s feeding, walking, or simply spending quality time playing and keeping them company. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently not working a traditional job, which allows me to have the time and flexibility to care for pets with love and attention. I’m looking for a job that brings me joy and purpose, while still giving me the freedom to be there for my family. When I care for pets in their own home, I always aim to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any special needs they may have. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and never alone. I also like to keep pet parents updated with photos and messages, so they can feel at ease knowing their furry friend is in good hands.
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with Mia! She is highly communicative, kept me updated throughout the day, and sent lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Mia had an incredible day and came home happy and tired—which, as every dog owner knows, means she had a great time! 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.”
“Irene is a rescued dog who has been with us for over a year. She’s naturally skittish and gets stressed easily, so finding the right person to care for her was very important to us especially after the loss of our beloved Sophie, who was with us for 14 years. Before choosing a sitter, my husband and I carefully reviewed several Rover profiles, and Rita’s immediately stood out. We were drawn to her empathy and experience with rescue dogs and those with medical needs. After a meet-and-greet that went very well, we felt confident giving it a try. Over the past few months, Irene has been in Rita’s care several times, and each visit has only reassured us. We can see that Irene is becoming more comfortable, which speaks volumes about Rita’s patience and compassion. She keeps us updated with pictures throughout the day and always sends a detailed report card afterward, which we truly appreciate. Rita is kind, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the well-being of the dogs she cares for. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their beloved pet. 🐶”
“So glad I found Douglania! Just moved here and needed a new daycare for my dog and she has made my dog so happy and comfortable! And has eased my mind while I’m at work. She is now my weekly go to!”
“Rolando was great ! She sent me picture and videos through out the day. My 4 month old golden retriever has a great time . He had a lot of space to run and roam . My pup had a great time! Thank you so much for letting him spend the day with you . I will definitely have him stay with her again .”
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life!!! My family and I used to rescue dogs when I was growing up so I have lots of experience with rescue pets, puppies and senior dogs. I have grown up pet sitting for all my family and their friends from young adulthood to now. I now have two cats of my own as well I love so much. I can handle any special needs too! I have an extremely flexible schedule. I work from home so available every day for any needs that may come up or are needed for your animals. I personally have a safe home and fenced in yard.

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.

“I would give 100 stars if I could! Miranda and Curtis were AMAZING in dealing with Tanner, my energetic pup! They did such a good job helping him work through his anxiety and anxiousness and he came home happy, tired, and well loved! Will definitely be using them again in the future! Truly a wonderful experience!”
“Adriana is truly an angel! She was able to help me out on my daughter’s wedding weekend after the pet sitter I had booked, back home, forced me to bring my two dogs with us to the hotel. I was blown away by her kindness, organization, and empathy. And best of all my dogs were happy, calm, and safe! I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter, a friend, and as an angel to anyone! Book her without hesitation!!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Mary
Max loved Rolanda from the minute he met her! He didn't want to leave after his "meet and greet". His daycare was alot of fun for him and Rolanda let him get exercise and play time in her beautiful, fenced-in backyard. I am so glad we found her and will always reach out when we need a sitter again!
We couldn’t be happier with the care Douglania provided for our dog, Buster! As a pandemic rescue pup with separation anxiety, we were nervous about daycare, but Douglania was incredibly patient, supportive, and understanding. In just a short time, Buster’s socialization skills and confidence have improved so much. He comes home happy and relaxed every day. It’s clear she truly cares about the dogs she watches, and we’re so grateful for the love and attention she gave Buster. Highly recommend!

Here's a revised version of your review with some enhancements for clarity and flow: --- Sasha was wonderful! I was initially nervous about leaving my dog with someone unfamiliar, but as soon as Sasha met him, she showered him with love, and he was very happy. He didn’t even notice when I left! I felt a huge relief knowing he was in good hands. Sasha was incredibly kind and even sent me pictures, which made me even happier. I would absolutely choose Sasha to care for my dog again.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lake Mary
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lake Mary on Rover is $21.4 per day (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,041 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Lake Mary. 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 Mary 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 2,041 sitters in Lake Mary, 85% 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.
