“I’m always so nervous to try a new sitter for Niko - I spend hours researching and reading reviews and then worry all day usually when I drop him off haha. I chose Janet because of the amazing reviews and boy, I’m SO glad I did. I didn’t worry at all about him all day with all the updates and pictures Janet sent me, ensuring he was safe and having a blast. He’s been sleeping since he got home, he was so tuckered out from all the fun he had with Janet and his friends. I will DEFINITELY book again! Thank you!”

“Donna was amazing! First off, she responded to our request to board our dog at 5am after we sent the request the night before at 10:30pm. We needed a dig sitter at the last minute because we are out of town. Secondly, she welcomingly took our dog in before ushering us off to where we needed to be that morning, and then sent us a comforting several photos of our dog five minutes later. Donna sent videos and pictures throughout the day. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!”

“Adriana was so sweet with my senior pup, making sure he had plenty of water and outdoor time but respecting that he doesn't like to be out long in the heat. I really appreciated the regular photos and check-ins! I feel super comfortable leaving him with her.”
“Heather took great care of our chocolate Labrador for four days and was very flexible with last minute changes to our drop off and pick up times on all four days that we were in the Tampa area. We will book with Heather again when we're back in the Tampa area. Highly recommend Heather to care for your fur babies.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeshore
Debra was awesome, especially because we needed a last minute sitter. Our pup loved playing with the others around him and Debra sent us pictures along the way. Our engagement went over the time we originally planned and Debra had no issues whatsoever. We will surely be asking her to puppy sit again in the future!
three dogs—Buddy, Lexi, and Bentley! This was the very first time I had ever left them in someone else's care, so I was naturally a little nervous. Donna made the entire experience so much easier. She kept me updated with pictures throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable they were. She is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and truly loves animals. She made sure they were fed, spent time playing with them, took them outside to enjoy the backyard, and even made cozy beds for them to rest. It was obvious they were treated like part of her family. When I picked them up, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly had a wonderful time. As soon as we got home, all three of them went straight to bed—they were completely exhausted from a fun-filled day! I can't thank Donna enough for taking such wonderful care of my babies. I would trust her with them again without hesitation, and I know Buddy, Lexi, and Bentley are already looking forward to seeing her again. I highly recommend Donna to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and loving pet sitter! I think this kind of review would really stand out on Rover because it describes not only what Donna did, but also how safe and well cared for your dogs were.
We had a great experience with Joy’ stay in Patricia’s house. From the moment we arrived, the check-in process was smooth and thoughtful, and it was clear that the environment was well set up for the dogs’ comfort and safety. She was very communicative throughout the day and sent us updates, photos, and videos, which gave us a lot of peace of mind as first-time daycare users. We could see that Joy was being well cared for and enjoying her time with the other dogs. We really appreciated the care, professionalism, and communication. We would definitely trust her with Joy again and would not hesitate to book with her in the future.
Thank you Samantha and family for welcoming our 4-month-old puppy, Chewy, into your home! He was happy, well cared for, and came home tired from lots of playtime. We really appreciated the updates and feel so comfortable leaving him in such good hands. Highly recommend! 🐾

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Lakeshore
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lakeshore on Rover is $30 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 Lakeshore 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 2,642 sitters in Lakeshore, 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.
