“After a great 4-day boarding with Emilie, we needed a last-minute doggy day care to accommodate my wife's last minute business travel. Similar to our wonderful experience with boarding, the day-care was great with both Emilie and Jimmie. Constant pictures throughout the day including some kisses from our little guys. They love being with Emilie and her compassion shines brightly through their wagging tails.”
“Mary was absolutely amazing with Cher! She truly went above and beyond, and it was so clear how much she genuinely loved and cared for her. 🥹💕 Knowing Cher was with someone who was giving her so much attention, affection, and care made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Mary treated her like she was her own, and Cher was clearly so happy and comfortable with her. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust Mary with Cher again. Highly, highly recommend her! 🐾❤️”
“Ashley was great! She was really responsive and flexible, which we much appreciated. Our dog loved her, and we could tell from the pictures he was having a good time. Will definitely be back :)”
“I can't recommend her highly enough! While I enjoyed a lovely date with my boyfriend, Dahyana took incredible care of my furry friend. She consistently sent updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Dahyana's service was truly amazing, and I will definitely be returning. If you need a trustworthy and caring place for your dog, look no further than Dahyana's Doggy Day Care!"”
“This was a great experience for my pup and I! Judy took very good care of Milo for me while I was at work and sent me pictures and texted me throughout the day. I felt very happy with his stay there! She even sent him home with a toy! I definitely recommend her!”
“I as very happy using Farrah for the first time. She seems to run things like a well-oiled machine. The house is clean and quiet and she makes sure to keep the dogs separated or in groups that will get along. Calvin had a bit of a limp when I dropped him off Sat morning so she kept him away from hyper puppies and had him take it easy. I was surprised to hear that he wanted to play with a squeaky toy with her because he usually doesnt care about toys. I was also surprised to hear that he ate because he usually doenst in a strange or new place. Farrah also communicates promptly and well. I will use her again in the future.”
About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13 (now 36) from dog and cats to lizards and snakes. I don't discriminate. When I was younger I only took care of friends and family but now I found rover I am currently on hiatus from my employer so I have ample amount of time to take care of and play with your fur baby. I have a very large fenced in yard for your dog to run and play. I also have my own fur baby to help keep your baby company. I don't crate my small French bulldog but i do have a large crate big enough for a 70 pound dog just in case your dog needs it.
“Gheraldine is very sweet! She was attentive in understanding Bruno’s needs for the day, and when I received my card at the end of the day, my dog was well looked after. Thank you!!”
“Camilla and Maribela were amazing take care of our two dogs for the day! They were very sweet and attentive to the two pups, and sent us the cutest photos of the dogs having a great time. We were running late to pick up the dogs due to traffic, and they were so accomodating and understanding. We will go to them again when we need a dog sitter!”
About: From an early age I began petsitting a variety of dogs in my neighborhood, family, and of friends. From Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Jack Russells, Dachshunds, Beagles, Hounds, Dobermanns, and more I have experience with a range of breeds. I often used to petsit for my neighbors who had five dogs. I also have owned a Rottweiler, Rhodesian Ridgeback and Bichon Frisé. I have always regarded having a connection with animals as an important quality and have never met an animal that didn’t like me! I recently left my position at Florida International University College of Hospitality and I want to lend my services in pet care to my community. I am available fulltime and I am able to provide transparent communication throughout the week. I want to ensure you that your pet is getting the best care possible and you can focus on work, vacation, or whatever reason my services are required. Able to provide frequent walks and top quality care. I don’t have pets of my own and I prefer to house sit but I am able to accommodate boarding at my apartment if preferred with regular walks.
“Natalie was awesome, her home is a fantastic and loving environment for any dog, she took excellent care of our dog bear, sending many pictures with updates and attending to all our our fur babies needs. We are thankful and recommend for any future visits”
“Maria is truly exceptional. She and her family take care of my girls with so much love and attention . She keeps me updated with photos and messages, and it’s obvious how comfortable and happy they are in her home. One of my girls is very shy, yet she literally jumps out of the car to go to Maria’s house — and for me, that says everything. Knowing they’re treated like part of the family is the greatest peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend Maria more highly!”
“First time using Ashley for doggy day care and it was an amazing experience! From the moment she opened the door Stitch was so excited to see her. Thank you again for everything!”
“Susanna took care of Sushi like it was her own dog, Sushi felt very comfortable with her. Also she sent me daily pictures, so I can see how good he was. Thanks Susanna! I definitely recommend you.”
“Heather I can’t thank you enough for taking care of my fur baby . You did an amazing job and I will be coming back . Snoop (my babes) knocked out on the cat ride home a happy pup”
About: Hi! My boyfriend, Griff, and I love caring for animals and both grew up with numerous pets of all sizes, all energy levels and ages :) We share pet sitting duties and look forward to spoiling your best friend during their staycation! We love taking our 4-legged guests on adventures with my sweet girl (Nala). We are both detail oriented, so we’re always aware of your pet and keeping them on their paws for new sniffs! Plus, to and from those adventures Dog Mode is always there keeping pup passengers not only safe but also cool, in the case there’s a quick stop that needs to be made along the way :) Your best friend is always treated as they are my own, ensuring they're treated exactly how I'd want my girl to be cared for. I'm not only willing to care for your pet but go above and beyond to provide an exceptional experience for them, whether it's a drop in, staycation, and/or walk! I always strive to make them to feel right at home no matter the service/circumstances. And if they come for a staycation, I have a beautiful, large side yard in a quiet neighborhood for playtime! My schedule is very flexible as I am able to make my own hours, so when I expect a 4-legged guest, I'm always on top of making sure I am home most of the day to give them all the love and care that they deserve. With also the help of my boyfriend Griff, we share the duties of providing high quality care to all of our guests :) Care in my home begins long before hosting a guest, aka your best friend. Preparation to ensure my home feels comfortable for them, whatever that may be, I'm dedicated to giving my 4-legged guests the staycation that they can't wait to come back to.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
I would definitely recommend Ariel. She was very flexible with my hectic work schedule and reached out to me maybe about an hour after I dropped Kimber off to let me know that she was settling in and doing well. That made me feel good. I knew Kimber was in good hands.
This was Teddy‘s first time spending the day at Angela‘s. I was concerned because my boy is a reactive dog and not everybody can understand that. Angela was very patient and understanding, she sent pictures throughout the day showing me how he played with the other pups. I will definitely use Angela again. Her home is very clean and well suited for my boy. He loved her backyard. Thank you, Angela, for being so patient with my boy!
Samantha was awesome! She responded to my booking request within minutes and asked me some questions to make sure Lola was going to be well taken care of during her stay. She also took her for a couple walks during the day and kept me informed and even sent a couple pictures. Her dog Bailer is a sweet boy and they got along great! Thank you Samantha!! 🩷
Albie had a wonderful two days with Fiona. We'd just arrived in USA after emigrating and needed a dog sitter who would be able to give Albie the attention he needed and deal with his high energy, Fiona was excellent and Albie was dragging me into her house on the 2nd day! xx

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea on Rover is $27.25 per day (as of September 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 Lauderdale-by-the-Sea 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 3,624 sitters in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.

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.
