“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I want to express my gratitude to Giovani for taking care of our fur babies, Sky and Sunny, on such short notice! We brought them to his place, and they settled in beautifully. Giovani was welcoming and attentive, ensuring they felt at home. It was great to see them playing and enjoying their time there. I knew they were in safe hands, which eased my mind while I was away. Highly recommend Giovani for pet-sitting—he truly cares about the animals! Thank you again!”
“A wonderful family to watch our furry family member. Bama received top notch care and we enjoyed a flexible schedule. If we have a need for our fur baby to be looked after while we are in Florida, we will not hesitate to use Daniel and Jessica again.”
“Janet is the perfect person to give both myself and my little doxie a change of scenery! Since she takes small dogs, Honey is perfectly comfortable at Janet's house, and she loves playing with the other dogs. Janet is very knowledgeable about dogs, and has made a few good recommendations to me regarding food, vets, etc. I'm so glad to have a place to leave Honey for a day or for a week, and feel she is happy and safe!”
“Marisol was amazing! Was able to accommodate a last-minute booking which really helped me out. She was very helpful and thoughtful, sent pictures and updates and was very responsive in communication. I highly recommend!”
“Trevor did an outstanding job looking after my puppy! He not only kept me updated with awesome photos and regular updates throughout the day but also ensured my pup returned to me squeaky clean! My puppy was worn out and seemed to have the best day with Trevor. I couldn't be more pleased with his exceptional care!”
About: I have 20 years of experience caring for dogs, from playful puppies to wise adults. Additionally, I’ve worked with a cat rescue, welcoming countless kitties into my home. As a mom of four (now all grown up) and a nurse, I know a thing or two about providing excellent care! 😊 My husband and I are home and have plenty of time to play with your pups. You're welcome to board any day of the week. We have a friendly senior dog ready to keep your furry friend company! Our spacious home features plenty of room to roam, toys to play with, beds to relax on and we have sidewalks perfect for enjoyable walks. If you have any special requests or needs, just let us know—we're more than happy to accommodate!
About: I have experience in my own home caring for 3 large dogs and a Maine Coon. I’ve had my animals for about 5 years now. I also have experience caring for friends and families animals, as well as experience volunteering with the humane society. I’ve recently started pet sitting here in tampa, and I love to care for and help animals! I am available all day everyday including holidays! I can do any of my services on any date or time and I take last minute bookings depending on the service! I walk my dogs multiple times a day as well as i clean out my cats litter box twice a day to avoid any odor. I enjoy taking the animals outside to play, and I have indoor cat toys I use for my cat since she’s a runner! I also feed all the animals twice a day, and go on runs with my more active dogs as often as possible!
“Anubis attended Daycare with Miriam for 4 days. She treated him very well and he was always excited to see her. He had the opportunity to play with other dogs and sunbathe. She is a great dog sitter and I highly recommend.”
“Debra is just amazing!! I was so nervous to leave my pup for the first time and she did everything to ease my mind. I will for sure be brining Ellie Mae back for the day! Thank you Debra!!”
About: I love being around and playing with dogs. I will make sure to take the upmost care while being with your furbaby when you’re away. Rest assured that your dog will be having a great time at home while you are out. I look forward to hearing from you soon. I have a pretty open schedule that allows time to come and visit with your pet whenever works best for them. Keep me posted and I typically can help whether it’s early morning or late at night. I would prefer to come to your home to meet your dog where they are most comfortable. I am able in some cases to keep them at my house as well. Open to discussing you and your pets needs.
“Loved the dedication and attention to care for each dog. Glad she was able to help my dog get more socializing skills/experience. I also loved the video updates she would send me. Overall happy with the whole experience”
“Anthony was great. Our dog went right to him. Anthony took him on walks and tried to get him to eat (even though we knew he wouldn’t eat without us there). So accommodating. Anthony was home with the dogs the whole time. No time limit. Definitely will go back when we’re in the area.”
“Deborah was wonderful! She was able to accommodate my last minute request and was so good to my sweet girl. She asked lots of questions and I knew my dog was in good hands. She communicated with me throughout the day and sent photos too. I would definitely recommend Deborah and I’ll certainly be using her services again!”
“She’s absolutely amazing. My babies loved her! She’s very informative and caring. I love that she kept me posted on their wellbeing and progress throughout the day while I was out working. Definitely recommend her as future use of service.”
About: I work from home and have a small dog. We are the best company for your pet! I have dealt with dogs since 2018 and the treatment I give to anyone else’s pet is the same that I expect when people watch over mine. We love cuddling, watching tv, going on walks and dog parks. I work from home, so my schedule can be very flexible! I can also work from your home if you prefer keeping your pet where they feel the safest. I live in a townhouse, and have a very nice dog park nearby and lots of places to go on walks. If I go to your home I’ll do my best to keep your pet in their normal routine to help and ease up the anxiety of being away from their owners.
“I knew I left Mason in excellent care!! Tahrena and family greeted us with such warmth I know Mason felt welcomed. Thank you so much Tahrena and family, I know Mason had an awesome day.”
About: Animals are my absolute passion, and I have a lot of hands-on experience keeping dogs and puppies of all sizes happy, safe, and loved. Through active volunteering and fostering, I’ve developed great instincts when it comes to animal routines and behavior. While I adore adult dogs, I have a massive soft spot for puppies! My foster background means I am completely comfortable with high energy, strict potty schedules, teething, and crate training. I also have a lot of experience raising young kittens and bottle babies. Because I have my own gentle dog and sweet cats at home, I specialize in taking care of dogs, puppies, and friendly young kittens who get along well with other animals. I'll treat your pets just like family! I am a college student and am currently not working, so my schedule is highly flexible. I have open availability night and day right now to give your pets undivided attention. Because I have plenty of free time, I can easily stick to your pet's exact feeding, medication, or potty routines without any distractions. I prefer boarding pets at my place so I can keep a close eye on them. I live in a large, green apartment community with a big retention pond and on-site dog parks for great walks. My home is shared with my large, incredibly gentle dog, Teddy, and my two very sweet, dog-like cats who love company. Because of my household setup, I am only able to board dogs, puppies, or young kittens who get along well with other animals. I want to ensure every pet stays completely safe, comfortable, and stress-free while staying with us

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lutz
Anthony has been amazing with Hazel, our puppy! He’s always communicative, friendly, and clearly cares a lot about the dogs he watches. Hazel always comes home happy and exhausted from all the playtime during the day. We were looking for a smaller, home-based place that only takes a few dogs at a time, and Anthony’s setup is exactly what we wanted. We also love that they don’t use crates. We feel very comfortable leaving her there and highly recommend him! Definitely we’ll be back

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Lutz on Rover is $20 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 Lutz 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 2,575 sitters in Lutz, 86% 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.
