I participated in a veterinarian school program continued on from there after graduation . I have been a vet technician for sometime amongst many other services. I volunteered out of the country for several years during rescue missions in the Caribbean islands as well. Wherever I am, I volunteer at the Humane Society. I am also an excellent Groomer for standards poodles. I have availability and I love to be of service.. I'm also available last minute. I have a large fenced in backyard and I will be home. I enjoy caring for your fur baby. I am always with the dog playing ball playing with toys a little training always conversing. Of course your babies allowed on the furniture and couch if you request. Keeps me company. I love what I do. I can meet all your requests. I have a large fenced in yard. if you prefer crate that’s optional . I'm open and available. I give them the unconditional love and attention that they need. I enjoy taking care of animals. I have plenty of references just ask.
“Everything went smoothly with doggie daycare with Erin. She considerately slowly introduced Pepper to her furry friends and helped him acclimate. She also sent message updates and pictures through his stay. Definitely will book with her again!!”
“Anne was exceptional! She took the time to meet with me and my dog, Cali, to review any special needs etc and took detailed notes. Since my dog has separation anxiety, Anne took the time to work with us on a few techniques to make sure Cali was comfortable. Anne shared some training video links with me so I can work on these with Cali at home. She certainly went well above and beyond any expectations I had and I’m looking forward to having her sit Cali again in the future. It’s clear that Anne is a professional and is concerned with her client’s comfort as well as the dog’s individual needs. Cali loved playing with Bentley and I know she enjoyed her day with Anne. A+++++”

“Thank you Linda for taking such good care of my precious girl. Pebbles is a senior dog with special needs and Linda took exceptional care of her. Pebbles is unable to walk, Linda took her outside to enjoy some fresh air and administered her medication as needed. It was wonderful receiving videos and photographs throughout the day updating me on how she was doing. Such a relief to find such a warm and friendly person to leave my baby with for the day. Pebbles cannot be left alone anymore, I will not hesitate to call on Linda again in the future. Thank you again.”

“We were very happy with the care Cosmo received from Barbara. She welcomed him into their home and treated him like their own. She’s very friendly and easy to communicate with. I will be using her again when the need arises.”
“Carol and Butch were amazing, and such a perfect match for our little Squirt. This was my first time using Rover, and they made it such a great experience. They took such great care of my little man and put my mind at ease with pupdates. Hope they’ll be available for us next year! Thank you so so much, Carol and Butch!”
“Carrie and her husband Mike did a great job taking care of Peaches for an afternoon while we were on vacation in the area. She got plenty of attention and exercise too. They have no pets of their own at present so are a great choice if you want your fur-baby to have 1:1 attention.”
“I had a great experience with this sitter! They took such good care of my puppy Bear, and I could tell he was comfortable and well looked after the entire time. Bear is still young and full of energy, but they were very patient, attentive, and made sure he got plenty of care and attention. They also kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. When I picked Bear up, he was happy and relaxed, which showed me he had a great time. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again for Bear! 🐾”
“Kelli was awesome! We needed a last minute cat sitter as we found out we were having some work done to our apartment, and she opened our kitty with open arms! Also super welcoming and is more than happy to show you where your pet will be staying. Also kept us updated throughout the day! Will definitely request her again when we need a cat sitter! Thanks so much Kelli.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years I work from home Monday- Friday allowing me to care for a pet in my home and have the ability to take walks, play and love on your pet. We currently do not have any pets but both of us love dogs and would love to care for yours. We are active and loving.
“So grateful for Ray and Randy! They were able to take our Ollie for a few hours today so that we could enjoy Easter dinner with at my very allergic brother's house. Ollie slept there which meant he felt comfortable. Ray and Randy were so calm and gentle with him. Highly recommend them and will definitely book again. Thank you!!!!”
“So amazing and understanding for our last minute drop in. Oliver loved playing with the kids, got pictures and updates. Highly recommended! Would definitely book again! Thank you so much Morgan, you are the best! ?”
About: Hi, I’m Dawn! I’m a lifelong animal lover, professional animal trainer with over 30 years of experience, and an animal talent agent who works from home. Through my company, Pawsitively Famous, I supply professionally trained animals for film, TV, print, and live events. You may have seen my work on Animal Planet—including DOGS 101, CATS 101, and America’s Cutest—and recently on Dolly Parton’s Pet Gala on CBS. Living in Venice, FL, I offer a calm, safe, and loving home environment for your pets while you’re away. Working from home gives me the flexibility to provide plenty of one-on-one attention and create a relaxed, stress-free stay for every guest. Why I Love Dog Sitting I’m a huge dog lover, and since I can’t have 10 of my own, I love welcoming houseguests! It brings me joy to give pet parents peace of mind that their furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. Experience Administering Medication I’m comfortable giving daily pills, topical treatments, or other medications. Your pet’s health and routine are always my priority. Resident Dogs My two resident dogs, Buzz and Little Miss Hollywoof, love welcoming new furry friends—whether they feel like playing or prefer to just relax. Because I work remotely from home, pet care is naturally part of my day. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and companionship throughout the day. In my home, I host only one or two dogs at a time so each guest gets plenty of attention and a calm, low-stress environment. Dogs have access to comfy beds, cozy spaces, and my fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I don’t accept dogs with separation anxiety or severe behavior issues, so everyone here can feel safe and relaxed. When staying in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free.
About: I have a long history of pet care, and have extensive experience with the Shar Pei breed. I have owned Shar Pei's for over 25yrs and have done some rescue work with them as well. I have owned cats and dogs my entire life. I have experience with dogs that may need extra care such as meds or extra attention. Can't imagine life without them they just bring such a joy into our lives. You can have confidence in knowing while I'm taking care of your pet I will treat, and love them as my own. I know how hard it is to find the right person to take care of your pets, and will take the best of care of your 🐾🐾babies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, and I intentionally structure my schedule to ensure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, and care. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins so pets are never left unattended for long periods. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening care, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule to meet each pet’s needs. My goal is to provide dependable, routine-based care so pets feel comfortable and owners feel confident knowing their pets are a priority. I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I prioritize building trust by following the pet’s normal routine, maintaining a clean and secure space, and ensuring constant supervision and care. I’m mindful of each pet’s temperament, dietary needs, and any special instructions, and I take precautions such as secure doors, leash use, and hazard-free surroundings to keep them safe at all times. My goal is to create a comfortable, low-stress environment where pets feel cared for, protected, and at ease while their owners are away.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Manasota
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Manasota on Rover is $22.2 per day (as of July 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 Manasota 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 543 sitters in Manasota, 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.
