“Awesome sitter. Very attentive and loving with our fur baby. She sent photos through out his stay. I will definitely use her again. I highly recommend.”
“This has to be the best place to send your dog!! My Bear is so excited to go see them!! He's so happy and well taken care of!! The pictures I received during his stays assured me that he was doing well. When I pick my little guy up he's so joyful and just prancing around like he has the best time ever. I highly recommend this couple!! Very nice”
“Summer had a great daycare experience with Jessica. 🤍 She kept me updated with photos, and seeing him looking so relaxed and happy made me feel at ease. It was also nice to know he enjoyed spending time with her dogs.”
“Whitney did a very nice job with Bella. When I arrived to pick up Bella, I could see that she was very content and happy at Whitney‘s home. I really appreciate having a place where I feel safe leaving my little fur baby.”
“Bud had a good day. This was his first doggy daycare, and it was a positive experience for Bud and his family. Haylie kept me updated throughout the day; she was kind and seemed to really enjoy taking care of him. It was nice for him to also have time with her golden doodle and child. Thank you Haylie”
“This was Monty's first time at a sitter's; he was abandoned in our neighborhood a few months ago, & we were nervous that he would think we were leaving him behind like his first family did. Sanja put our minds at ease, & Monty had a WONDERFUL day with her! He came running out to meet us bright-eyed & bushy-tailed, happy as can be. ☺️ He slept most of the way home & all night last night, so I would absolutely call his stay with Sanja a success. Highly recommend... & we'll definitely be using her again! Thank you so much, Sanja!”

“She really helped us out in a pinch with last minute booking for an out of the city day care, we really appreciated it. Our puppy did great and had no issues. We appreciated that she had a fenced in back yard too that allowed our dog to run around. It wad a good experience.”
“This is Louie’s second visit with Sarah. He was SO excited when we pulled up, his entire tail and lower half of his body was wagging and he was incredibly eager to go inside and play with the other dogs. And that is Louie’s review, which I believe would go something like this: “Mom, when can I go back and play?? Please??””
About: Hi, I’m Courtney! I’m an experienced and reliable dog caregiver with a strong background in caring for puppies, large breeds, and multi-pet households. I’ve completed 75+ services with all 5-star reviews and have many repeat clients who trust me with their pets. I focus on keeping dogs on their normal routine while providing plenty of attention, playtime, and structure. I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs and puppies, and I make sure they get the exercise and engagement they need while you’re away. I also provide consistent photo updates so you can feel confident and connected while your pets are in my care. When appropriate, I reinforce basic training such as leash manners, calm behavior, and daily routines—especially helpful for puppies and younger dogs. I treat every pet like my own and prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your dog needs a calm, reliable presence or lots of activity and play, I’d love to help! I aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pets. What you can expect: • Regular photo updates • Reliable communication • Structured care based on your dog’s routine • Experience with multiple dogs and high-energy breeds I work full time from home with a big fenced in yard. This allows me time to go on daily walks as well as play in the backyard or give your pet some free roaming time outside in the fenced yard. I have a miniature schnauzer that loves friends and 2 pre-teens that are homeschooled and love to cuddle with animals all day. I have a big fenced yard and I live in a neighborhood with sidewalks. We do daily walks and lots of free time out in the backyard playing fetch or just relaxing. Pets are allowed on the furniture so they can snuggle with us when we’re on the couch and sleep with us at night. We have a miniature schnauzer dog that loves playing with new friends.
About: I’ve had pets my entire adult life, my house is not a home without my fur babies. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. All of my pets have been life long family members from babies through senior age. I’ve potty trained, crate trained, cared for my babies from skin allergies to arthritis and surgeries. Some of my pets have been perfect angels and some have had past trauma that created behavioral issues that we had to work with and do special training. My fiancé and I would love the opportunity to care for your fur babies as if they are our own. I’m the primary pet sitter and organize but he is my partner and back up. I know how pets stress when with new people and a new environment and I strive to make your pet’s stay as easy for your pet as possible. Please let me know their routine and any special care needed and I will do my best to make your pet comfortable. We have recently adopted our 2 foster dogs, they are sweet with kids and other dogs. However, we do have the ability and will keep separated from Rover dogs when needed if requested. My main concern is that your pets as well as mine are kept safe and happy. We both work full time but we have time in the evenings and weekends to care for and love your babies when you can’t. We would love the opportunity to care for your babies. We would love for your pets to enjoy our large fenced in backyard with a cool, clear pool to cool off in the summer. We love to play with your pups in our yard throwing balls or frisbees to burn off some of that pent up energy. If you don’t have a yard we would be happy to take them on a leashed walk. We know being away from home and their families can be stressful not only for your pet but also you. Bring all their favorites and feel at ease knowing they are being cared for just like part of the family.
“We are very picky about who we leave our special little Frenchie with. Georgia was amazing with her (and us!). She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. She took very good care of her.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for years now and have a dog who is a huge dog person herself. Your dog will be having some fun time while you are away. I am working from home and can take your dog to potty breaks as much as needed. They can play freely in the backyard. Also, we have a mid size lab mix that loves to play so she can keep them a company. I have a fenced yard with pool and crate if your dog needs it. We don’t allow pets on the furniture but have plenty space that they can hang out.
About: I have cared for dogs since the age of 13 from small dogs such as Yorkies and Westies to black Labradors to Golden Retrievers. Pets in our family are treated as family members and get the best care possible, from lots of attention and exercise, to calm spaces to lounge during nap time to a fenced backyard for sitting in the sun and chewing a stick. I am very active so if your pet needs several long walks throughout the day, I am more than obliged to accommodate. I’m treating this as my full-time job and as a labor of love. If your pet stays with me, I want to build your trust and become a trusted pet sitter you can come to time and again whenever you are out of town or need your dog attended to. This is loving household with an extremely lovable and kind almost 6 year old Golden Retriever named Rudy. I am the only person who will be caring for your pet with love and dedication while you are away. I hope you will consider me as your choice to watch your treasured companion and I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I am a full-time stay at home mom, so I am home all day everyday. I have a 5.5 year old kind and loving neutered Golden Retriever that is a part of our family. I have two children that are 11 and 13 and love animals as much as me. There are always multiple people at home to shower your pet with love and attention. Making pets feel seen and appreciated is a priority for me. Lots of walks and outdoor time in addition to our fenced backyard is crucial. I have a fenced backyard and a pet Golden Retriever to keep your fur baby company while you are away. I don’t mind sending daily pics and text updates on how your pet is doing if so requested. I consider pets to be members of the family and deserve the best care possible. I care about all animals and their well-being and happiness is my priority. From the time I was young, my family always had dogs and I always was the child that gladly took care of and walked the dogs. I am very active and would give your dog whatever care was requested to make sure their stay was amazing while you are gone.
“Nadia is super sweet, and she took care of my Percy as if he was her own. I received photos from him during his stay. She and her husband were great. I will definitely recommended and will book a doggy day care with them again. Thank you Nadia!!!”
“Erica was very responsive to my inquiries and any questions I had. We needed a dog sitter for one day as we visited a national park. Erica was very friendly as she greeted us at her door. Her dogs were also equally enthusiastic to have a new playmate. Our pup went right in and did not look back as we left. She sent a cute photo midday of him taking a nap! This was our first experience with Rover and we would do it again!”
“This was a last minute booking & Stacey came through for me. The communication was great & Stacey took very good care of our baby Chloee. I like that she sent me photos & it looked Chloee was well taken care of & having fun. I will definitely use Stacey again. Thank you Stacey & family”
“Alexandra was great! We booked last minute with her and she graciously took our pup for the day. We even received pictures throughout the day of him playing with his new friend! He seemed to have such a fun filled day that he fell asleep on the way home! Alexandra was great!”

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 Lakeside 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
