“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.”
“They are amazing! Very flexible with the schedule and they take very good care of my puppy! Even giving a bath here and there and working with him on learning how to behave! She is my babysitter”
“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.”
“My Skylar had the best time ever with Sanja! She had so much fun, I don't think she wanted to leave! I was the nervous one and Sanja immediately put me at ease with her obvious love of animals and her years of experience and knowledge. The pictures and videos she sent were amazing and put me at ease. I already have a 4 day stay scheduled and plan on many more day boarding trips. It is like a fun vacation for Skylar and puts my mind and heart at peace knowing my Skylar is in Sanja's loving care. Thank you Sanja!”
“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”
“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.”
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.

Our goal is for your fur baby(s) to feel right at home while you are away, and for you to have peace of mind knowing that they are in the best care possible until you return.

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.
“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??””
“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.”
“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!”
“2nd time with Nadia and as expected did not disappoint. Benji seemed happy and she communicated with us consistently. Also provided plenty of pictures. Will reach out to her again when we need our pup taken care of.”
“Melissa was great with our pup. He loves her. She has two fun-loving and playful dogs that our dog really liked, as well. Melissa has a clean home and spacious backyard. We will definitely come back.”
“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”

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 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 801 sitters in Lakeside, 90% 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.
