About: For 5 years, I have watched dogs, cats, puppies, kids, hamsters, etc. I have two cats of my own but they live in Baltimore with my mom right now, and I consider myself to have 5 dogs and 2 other cats back at home as well because they are my family member’s Pets, but I am so close with them. I stand out with personalized care, from puppy training to senior support. I walk, wash, clean, and I am experienced, and dedicated, I ensure tails wag and hearts soar in every furry adventure!

From engaging playtime to cozy cuddles, your beloved companion will receive the love, attention, and expert supervision they deserve. Rest easy knowing your pup is in capable and caring hands while you're away. I am currently a college student and working part time, but since the semester is over, I have a ton more free time. I do work at my own campus job here and there but that’s only about two days out of the week and that’s on the weekends. Other than that I am at home doing homework for my summer classes or just working out, trying to cook meals, watching new shows or resting. My home is very secure, and very dog friendly and has a multiple dog areas for them to be able to play around and pee/poop if there’s not enough time to walk around the neighborhood or you just want to stay close to the complex. There’s also a lot of open areas and parks behind my apartment complex because there is a school behind there as well, all the dogs that I’ve dog sat have loved this area and there’s a lot of grass around here for them to be able to play or just lay out.
“Alejandro and Mariana were very flexible whenever my work schedule changed and always took great care of Kodi every time they watched him! I would definitely recommend them!”

They are allowed inside and can go outside anytime to potty. If needed, I can crate your dog and we have a puppy room inside the house where they can sleep.
About: As a pet owner, I know how important it is to have your furbaby well taken care of when you're not around. My two pups have since passed away and while I'm not ready to add another to the family, I would love to puppysit yours! I can administer meds, feed, walk, and play with your dog. I also have four young children who adore animals and would shower your pup with love and endless playtime. When your dog stays with us, it becomes part of the family. I believe it should be that way because that's how I would want my dog taken care of when I'm out of town. I am currently a stay at home mom so my time is flexible and I am home a lot. Your dog won't be lonely and will get plenty of pets, cuddles, and playtime. When your pup visits us, they become part of the family. So rest assured they will get plenty of attention, walks, and love throughout the day.

About: 💖🐾Currently booking through the end of July💖🐾 I’m a fully insured sitter with 10+ years of experience caring for pets of all kinds—furry, feathered, and scaly. 🥰 I connect especially well with anxious pets and have practice with senior care and medication administration. My approach is calm, patient, and focused on making every pet feel safe, understood, and loved. Until the beginning of August, pet care is my full-time job, and I am available everyday from 7:00 AM–9:00 PM. ✨ A meet & greet is required for all requests so your pet can get comfortable and so that we can all get to know each other on their turf! 🥰❤️ ✨ Pricing may occasionally be adjusted after the meet & greet depending on care needs, travel distance, scheduling demands, and overall booking complexity. I’m often able to offer reduced rates for clients located closer to my home/service area. Any pricing adjustments will always be discussed transparently before booking confirmation. 😊 ✨ Drop-Ins & Walks: I always do my best to keep drop-in times consistent, though a little flexibility is sometimes needed and greatly appreciated. ✨ Pets must be comfortable being left alone for 4–6 hours at a time. My goal is to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible, but I will step out to care for other clients. If your animal requires constant care or cannot be left alone for that length of time, we can chat about extended visits or alternative services that may be a better fit. If you’re unsure what service to book, just send me a message and we’ll figure out the best fit together! 💕 Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, walks, or quiet companionship, your pet will always feel safe, supported, and right at home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 12. I had a family dog for 18 years and I currently have a small fur baby of my own. We go for walks and he enjoys lots of cuddles. I have the luxury of being home often but I know how stressful it can be to coordinate care for your pets and finding someone you can trust. I’m here to help alleviate that stress and care for your loved ones like my own! I currently work from home and make my own schedule so going for walks and play time and scheduled feedings are easily scheduled with my flexible availability I take long walks often. I have a small maltipoo who is super loving and friendly and will also enjoy the company! I’m home through the day as I work from home so I enjoy spending the day with the fur babies
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I am very patient and loving. I know everyone might say that, but I really do love animals 🥰 I have my dog Kota who’s been my best friend for 10 years now, he’s super sweet and friendly with other animals. I have a huge backyard with a pool where your furry friend can run and swim. I also work from home so they will always have someone there. I work from home so my schedule is pretty flexible. My mornings start off with feeding my animals and going for a morning walk with the dogs. During my lunch hour that’s when I let the dogs outside to run around and swim for an hour, and then again once my work day is done. We also take potty breaks in between. When my friends and family leave their dogs with me I follow the same schedule and make sure the dogs get plenty of exercise, tired dogs are happy dogs :) since I’m home all day me and Kota can provide companionship all day long for your furry kid :) I live in a house with a huge fenced in yard and a pool. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. I’m always around to make sure that they’re not eating things they’re not supposed to.

About: With many years of experience and a home full of kindness, we welcome every furry guest like family. After our own senior dog crossed the rainbow, our hearts have even more room. My mom and I work part-time, which means one of us is almost always home. Your pet will never feel lonely here — just cared for, watched over, and loved like family. I follow every instruction carefully and always respect each pet’s unique needs. Animals are like kids — they all have their own personality, comfort level, and routine. I make sure they feel safe, understood, and cared for at all times.

About: Hi, I'm Laura. I am a dog trainer of Accomplished Canine Dog Training I own three dogs. Avalanche: 12o Husky Mix, Yeti: 5 year old Husky, and Otis 5yo Aussie. Our dogs are rarely alone more than a few hours. We live in a house with a large fenced in backyard (about 6,000sq ft). My house is set up for dogs; all the furniture is dog-friendly and I dog-proof every time I leave. I love dogs and wish I could adopt more, but three permanent dogs is enough right now, but we would love a temporary family member! If your dog high energy? Love to chase, wrestle, play? The boys would love another friend to play with. More of a napper? Avalanche will save your pup some space on the couch. Training can be added to boarding and potentially daycare. We have a variety of dog puzzles to keep your pup mental enriched in addition to physical exercise. We also have a dog washing station and can bathe your dog prior to pick up. I work as a dog trainer and my dogs are rarely home alone for more than a few hours. We play with our dogs in the backyard or take them for long walks around dusk and dawn. We are well versed in the needs of young or high energy breeds. I have a fenced-in yard, dogs eat in different rooms, have multiple crates if necessary. I am a dog trainer and have training in reading dogs' body language to know if they are feeling comfortable in a situation, I previously had a dog with epilepsy so I am used to giving pills orally on a schedule. We do not require dogs to be spayed or neutered but we do want them UTD on shots and flea/tick/heartworm meds.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lakewood on Rover is $30.88 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 Lakewood 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 835 sitters in Lakewood, 89% 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.
