“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.”
“Bob saved our family trip day! We are new to the platform, referred by a family member to join, and it worked out great! Bob was there when we were in a pinch to find a sitter for our furby! Thank you!”
“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.”
“Eva is so friendly and attentive. Chevi is always very excited when we arrive at her home. She sends plenty of pictures so I always know how the day is going. Thank you for looking after my special buddy.”
“Erin and Stephen were great and treated Scooby like their own baby. Great communication and always kept us up to date with video and pictures. Would use them again next time we're in the area.”

About: I’ve joined with Rover because dogs make me smile! They genuinely add happiness to my life! Little ones, big ones or puppies are welcome! What better way to make a couple extra dollars, allowing owners flexibility at a lower cost and a super safe environment where they don’t have to be caged and their owners can have a piece of mind while they take their needed time away. I work from home so I am always there! I am an early riser so if your dog likes to go out early it’s no problem. I do not like to walk dogs after 10pm to avoid any encounters with wildlife. However, if your dog just needs to do a quick potty break after 10pm I can make that happen when needed. I do have a dog myself but I have a large room completed with windows over looking a lake! There are sliding glass doors to my main room. They even have their own entrance to a back yard where we can play ball and get some exercise. Or if they prefer to just lay in the sun that it is okay too! I live in a safe neighborhood for daily walks! I do have a large crate if needed.

“Jennifer was great. Very sweet and gentle girl. First time for our 15 year old dog with a sitter. She kept the pictures and videos coming all day, putting our minds at ease. The location was nice and her home is immaculately clean. We were able to spend a very enjoyable whole day away from our rental.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Manasota Key
Linda treated my Sampson like he was her dog. Sampson was shy at first and when she took him to her wide, fenced and clean backyard and met the other dogs he was like at home. She showed me her routine with the dogs, and showed real love for all the pets. Throughout the day I received videos and pictures of Sampson and I felt relieved and happy to booked with her services. I already reserved a week of boarding. Thanks so much!
I couldn’t have picked a better couple to watch my two girls from Ohio while vacationing in Florida. We decided to bring the girls with us while vacationing, and came upon this site, and decided to give it a try. Big back yard for the girls to run, and the couple even sent us pics playing ball with the girls. Got there to pick them up, and it was like they were right at home . If you are looking for dog care I HIGHLY recommend Glenda and Greg !! Thank you again Glenda and Greg Malinda and Jeff Foster / Pepper and Chili

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Manasota Key
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 504 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Manasota Key. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Key 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 504 sitters in Manasota Key, 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.
