“We are very lucky to have found Emilie. She was great with our pup and he loved being at her home. The yard is perfect for pups and the inside play area is very accommodating, neat and clean. We will definitely hire Emilie again when we need a sitter.”
“Maximus had a blast! He enjoyed his time playing in the pool and with the other pups . He is very active and he was all played out after daycare. Sandra is very communicative and attentive to anything you need. Thanks again for taking care of my wild child!”
“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!!”
“Alexis is superbly accommodating and I felt such at peace leaving my pups with her. She sent pics and vids while I was away which means so much! Will use again for my next work trip :)”
“Angus home away from home! 🩵 we trust this family two thousand percent! Angus has the time of his life and I love seeing the updates! We cannot thank them enough ☺️”
“Eduardo was absolutely amazing! I made a last-minute booking (the day before), and he was so quick to respond and incredibly accommodating. What really stood out to me was that he noticed in my inquiry that I’m currently studying for a wine certification—and he immediately mentioned he had completed the same course and wanted to help. That was such a thoughtful and unexpected connection, and it honestly made my entire weekend. My dachshund can be very shy and doesn’t do well being left alone, so finding someone patient and attentive is really important to me. Eduardo was exactly that. From the moment he met her, he was so gentle, affectionate, and attentive—he even wanted to hold her right away, which made me feel so comfortable leaving her in his care. He was very responsive, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs who need a little extra reassurance. It’s been a struggle for me to feel confident going out and doing things, but knowing I now have Eduardo to rely on is such a huge relief. I’m so grateful I found him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and genuinely caring sitter. 🐾💛”
“Andy and his Dad Julio were phenomenal. They gave me updates and my dog got to play with other dogs! They even let him on the couch since he’s hypoallergenic and doesn't shed. They sent pictures and updates. And most importantly tried to keep him as cool as possible in the hot Miami heat. That goes a long way. Definitely recommend. I will be booking again.”
“Genesis was a reliable, attentive, and professional dog sitter during the three days we required her services. She maintained a clean and safe environment and provided consistent updates regarding naps, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We felt confident knowing our dog was well cared for and in excellent hands. We would highly recommend Genesis to anyone seeking a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter.”
“Benson looked very comfortable in his day care photos and was so happy to hear he was well behaved with Porscha and Applejack! I would definitely work with Billi again”
“I recently had an amazing experience with Maria who took my dog last minute. She was incredibly accommodating and understanding of my situation. My dog seemed to have a great time, and I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. The care and attention she provided were outstanding, and I could tell my dog was in good hands. Highly recommend her services for anyone in need of a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“My pup was very happy when i picked him up and seemed to have enjoyed his stay with Amy. She kept me updated, and gave me a rundown afterwards. The experience exceeded my expectations.”
“When I picked up my dog, he looked genuinely happy and comfortable. It was clear he was well cared for and enjoyed his stay. I really appreciate the great care, and I’ll definitely be leaving him more often in the future!”
About: Hi! My name is Isabella and I’ve been taking care of dogs & cats all my life. My family had 2 dogs while growing up - golden retriever & doberman, and 2 cats. I absolutely adore & love taking care of all animals and your fur babies will be in good hands with me! I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible & I will always be around to give your pet all the attention and care they need. I am very responsible, dependable, and trustworthy! If there’s any additional tasks you need, I’m able to accommodate your pets needs :) I also currently live in an apartment which has a dog park & plenty of areas to go on daily walks outside. I also have a cat (her name is Zara) but I keep her separated in my room during boarding visits!
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care kat gave my dog! It’s incredibly hard to find someone in Florida who is truly trustworthy, and you exceeded all my expectations. Knowing my pup was safe, happy, and loved while I was away gave me complete peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you so much!”

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 June 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 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 3,637 sitters in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, 87% 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.
